[Hunter] Spider No. 8

The light rain falling outside was a noise several times louder for Angus now. He rubbed his eyes and subconsciously prepared to change to a more comfortable sleeping position, but he stopped immediately and continued to lie on his side gently on the person's leg.

The drizzling drizzle increased the horsepower and turned into a torrential rain, and the peach blossom eyes that were slightly raised were widened, as if the next second of the eye wave would be full of affection.

He suddenly thought of Kurolo, and remembered the conversation after Jane attacked the two of them.

——"Kurolo, I don't want you to die."

——"You are not allowed to die."

At that time, Kuroro's coldness was mixed with helplessness, slight anger, and even the slightest bit of indistinguishable emotion.His emotions were so complicated that his face was dangerous, but when Angus recognized it carefully, everything was erased, leaving only calm.

"Even if I die, that's none of your business."

Angus felt that Kuroro was just like a wayward child at the moment, and he pursed his lips: "Stop making trouble, you are my companion, how could I just watch you die."

"In that woman's illusion, I watched her strangle you to death."

Angus closed his mouth.

"Although I did start to suspect that it was a false world at the time, I never doubted that you might really be killed by her."

"Understood, Angus?"

Kuroro's resolute and decisive appearance is still unforgettable to Angus: "Life and death are conceited, and others have nothing to do."

"Hey!"

Angus felt annoyed and aggrieved. He looked at Kuroro angrily, wishing he could step forward and tear his indifference.

"Aren't we companions!"

"Aren't there any feelings between us!"

"Emotions?" Kuroro put his hands in his pockets gracefully, "Based on our current situation, no."

"You are indeed a new member I admit, but I will not be responsible for your life." Kuroro, who had calmed down completely, began to smile: "That's right, that's it."

"...That's not the case!"

Angus felt that a fire was burning in his chest, and it insisted on expanding and was about to burst.

——How could this be Kuroro from the Phantom Troupe?

Did the strong and confident man who could grasp the sky and pick up the stars two years ago actually exist like this?

Angus didn't want to think about it anymore, he held back his anger and tried to calm down: "A companion is an existence that gives life, whether you want it or not."

"It's just that you think that the most important existence in the Phantom Troupe is never an individual." Kuroro didn't want to continue entangled with Angus anymore, he was a little sleepy.

"Damn... Damn!"

Only then did Angus realize that he seemed to be on the wrong boat.

Facts have proved that the Phantom Troupe is indeed not an ideal place for me.

Angus, who closed his eyes and was thinking about it, was finally able to calmly admit the fact that his companion philosophy from beginning to end was in conflict with the principles of the Phantom Troupe.

So what can we do?

Angus thought of the spider tattoo on the center of his shoulder blade, and sighed leisurely.There is no escape, right?

A spider will never let go of something it grabs.

"Since you're awake, get up."

Angus hastily closed his eyes tightly and remained still.

After a while, as the rustling sound gradually increased, Angus' nose was suddenly pinched and he couldn't breathe.

"I'll get up, I'll get up." Angus finally couldn't hold back any longer. He opened his eyes and easily waved away the mischievous hand. He got up and sat up straight.

"Only 6 minutes?" Kuroro said a little surprised.

"..." Angus stroked the bangs on his forehead, and unceremoniously rolled his eyes at Kuroro, who was resting on his legs just now.

"However, it's been longer than when you first came here." Kuroro glanced out the window: "It's almost dawn."

"Yes, I'm going to run laps right away."

The 14-year-old Angus stood up lazily, his voice was still girlish and had not changed.

November 1991 was unexpectedly cloudy and rainy.

Kuroro bowed his head, can three years completely change a person?

Kuroro suddenly thought of this question, and he lowered his head to look carefully at his No. [-] member.

On Angus, who was restlessly lying on his lap, he could still vaguely see some outlines from before.

His hair has recently grown to his waist, and his big round eyes have gradually extended into peach blossom eyes.Because of his persistent running laps in the scorching sun and rain for two years, he successfully tanned out his honey-colored skin.The thin arms and legs still looked so fragile that they would break if they were folded, but the muscles hidden in the clothes never thought so.

Angus is starting to grow up.

Ku Luoluo, who was about to arrive, sighed in his heart: the arrogant and willful little liar at the beginning has now begun to grow into a more willful and proud big liar.

Of course, there is also my careful guidance.

Kuroro closed the book in his hand gracefully, thinking of his quiet on-demand video and education in the past two years, which were enough to make Angus move closer and closer to a qualified spider.

However, these are not enough.

A face suddenly appeared in Kuroro's mind. It was the stubborn look Angus swore to argue with on the day he was attacked by that woman three years ago.

——I must reform your misconceptions about your companions!

Not enough, the flame of obsession in his heart has not stopped burning.

Kuroro felt that his decision to recruit Angus as the No. [-] member of the brigade may not be a good idea now.

The young man in front of him, who can no longer be called a child, has something that has taken root in his bones that is really difficult to get rid of: he pays too much attention to his companions and his feelings and is soft-hearted.Once something unexpected happens, he is likely to leave the brigade.

This probably has something to do with Angus's origin in District [-].Kuroro stroked Angus's hair thoughtfully: the rule of companion supremacy in District [-] has been heard throughout Meteor Street.

Whether Angus is suitable for the phantom troupe Kurolo has not yet been determined, but the nature of the so-called spider is to grab the prey and never let go.

"If it's not suitable, raise it until it's suitable, and if there is a reverse bone, break the reverse bone."

Kuroro thought that when discussing this issue with the knight, his spider brain replied forcefully.

"Captain, you can't do that by getting close to him, taming him, and making him surrender, right?"

The knight squinted his eyes and smiled, "Do you need me to share your worries, Captain~"

"No need." Kuroro quickly rejected the kindness of the knight who didn't know the truth.He thought of Angus grabbing his hand involuntarily after the quarrel, his blue round eyes firmly suppressing the fear and struggle in his heart.

"Cultivate feelings without feelings! Anyway! I must change your misconceptions about your companions!"

The cold body temperature that came into contact with the palm of the hand again, and the sound of urgent breathing inadvertently, and the light and soft hair whirled on the naked arm with the gradually rising wind.

——Obviously so afraid that I will kill him, why do you keep leaning on him again and again.

He was rarely puzzled.

******

Kuroro was revived by the numbness on his thigh, he stared at Angus who moved slightly from time to time, and his eyes rolled around, and said, "Since you are awake, get up."

Angus immediately calmed down and remained motionless.And Kurolo pinched Angus' nose quickly and accurately.

"I get up, I get up."

He watched Angus stand up with a smirk, and while neatly tying up his long hair, he muttered that the sofa was too small to fit him, let alone add a Kurolo.

"Stop laughing like that." Angus scratched his head angrily, "It's ugly."

Kuroro put away his smile and returned to his expressionless face.

"If you feel crowded, don't fall asleep on my lap again while I'm reading." Kuroro heard his own voice saying slowly: "There is a bed in your room."

"Since you know, you should throw me on the bed instead of being squeezed on this small sofa with me." Angus thought for a while and said confidently, "It's your fault."

"..." Kuroro silently closed his mouth.

In fact, this has happened many times.

After Angus grabbed his hand and refused to let go, he kept pulling him back to the base like this.

Kuroro asked himself several times why he didn't let go, and answered himself several times why he had to let go.

He couldn't kill Angus because "members can't kill each other"; he also didn't want to break away from Angus's hand because——

Because he felt that this feeling was really novel.

The feeling of being held by someone is very novel.

Then Angus' behavior was even more unexpected.He began to follow Kuroro every day except for training time.

"Didn't I say that I want to change your mind." Angus sat on the ground holding the book seriously, raised his head and said to Kuroro who was sitting on the chair: "The first thing to do is to understand you, understand you, Then it can be implemented."

Remodeling?

Kuroro felt that the childish child in front of him was even more interesting.

First read books with him, take a walk with him, and then stay up late with him to read books, and stay up late with him for a walk.In the end, Angus couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep holding his leg.

Kuroro remembered what the knight said.

Get close to him, tame him, make him submit.If it is not suitable, it will be raised until it is suitable, and if there is a reverse bone, then the reverse bone will be broken.

Raise him... what I want him to look like.

Kuroro stretched out his hand and touched Angus' hair lightly hesitantly.

He carried Angus away from his exclusive seat and came to the sofa.

******

After pointing out confidently that everything was not his fault, Angus, who accepted it as soon as he saw it, pushed open the door in satisfaction, "Oh, that's right." He suddenly remembered something, and ran to Kuroro In front of him, he snapped his fingers beautifully.

A burst of snowflakes drifted leisurely across the earth.

Soon, the ground was covered with large sheets of ice.

Angus smiled briskly. In this somewhat cold November, his smile was like a warm moon, a lamp, and a hot spring.

"Happy birthday, Kuroro."

He stretched out his hand, and a doll that looked like Kuroro came into view.It is full of icy brilliance, transparent and clean, delicate and moving.

Kuroro's pupils vibrated slightly.

"Do you like it?" Angus took Kuroro's hand, put the little doll made of ice carefully, and said regardless: "Whether you like it or not, don't lose it."

"This is my wish for your birthday."

"Happy birthday, congratulations on becoming an adult."

Kuroro felt the ice cubes in his hands that were continuously emitting a chill, and looked closely at the eyebrows and eyes, which were somewhat similar to himself.In the transparent center—should be the heart, a drop of emerald green light suddenly caught Kuroro's eyes.

It was a bright bud.It curled up and was covered by a sheet of pure white ice crystals, and tremblingly stretched out its hand to test the whole world.

Even though it was covered by heavy snow and buried by icebergs, it never flinched, and still worked hard to think that it could conquer the world.

Believe that you can change the world.

Kuroro was stunned. He looked at Angus, who suddenly bowed his head and coyly after handing it to him, with an indistinguishable expression. He wanted to open his mouth but closed it hesitantly.

"Hey, do you like it or not?" Angus finally couldn't hold back and looked up cautiously. He was no longer a short man who was about to reach his waist. He had grown up to be able to get close to Kuroro's face on tiptoes. the height of.

"say something."

The intermittent sound of the rain gradually stopping is mixed with a slightly faster heart rate and beating pulse from time to time.

Puff, puff.

——Angus felt as if he had returned to five years ago, when he saw Kuroro for the first time.

Puff, puff.

——Krollo felt that No. [-] in front of him was becoming more and more dangerous unknowingly.

"like."

Kuroro finally opened his mouth. It was a rare time for him to obey his instincts. He quietly raised the tail of his lips, and his dark eyes softened.

"I love so much."

Puff, puff.

——Angus looked at those eyes, as if countless colorful butterflies flew from those eyes to his chest, causing the never-ending raging fire to struggle to bloom from the heart.

He also followed Kuroro and smiled.
