[Hunter] Spider No. 8

The Phantom Troupe is leaving.

In just half a day, the news spread throughout Meteor Street.No one knows how they persuaded the council to let them go, or how much they paid for their freedom.In any case, they finally got their wish and got what they wanted.

"I still can't believe it." Angus, who had been in confinement for two weeks, looked back at the dilapidated gate of the brigade's base again, and murmured: "It all happened so smoothly."

"That's because you haven't come out for a long time." The knight who was traveling with him grinned: "Is there a feeling of turning the world upside down?"

"It's not that exaggerated." Angus stepped up and followed Maggie in front: "I just didn't know that this day would come so soon."

Paknotan, who was running parallel to Maggie in front, suddenly broke into the conversation: "Angus, what is the outside world like?" She asked curiously.

The nine spiders who were running at high speed fell silent, and even the sound of breathing stagnated and disappeared.

Angus thought for a while and said, "You should ask Zeni this question, I don't even remember."

Zeni, who just wanted to shrink and shrink again, was suddenly overwhelmed, and his sharp gaze made him miserable: Hey, hey, I just want to leave Meteor Street with Amy silently, just go on the same road with you That's all, we're not companions, don't look at me anymore, it's so stressful!

"Probably... just like Zone Zero." Zeni said cautiously: "It's just that the outside world is more peaceful than Zone Zero."

"Huh?!" Wojin, who was the first to hold back, shouted, "Peace???"

Nobunaga who was with him shouted not to be outdone, "I just beat you idiot if there was no fight!"

Wo Jin roared: "Who are you calling an idiot, bastard?!"

Nobunaga: "Who should be who?!"

Xia Ke (covering his face in pain): "We still have a day's journey tomorrow, save your energy and fight after you go out..."

Angus (touching his ears): "The eardrums are about to be ruptured by you."

The action-oriented Maggie mercilessly threw out the thread, separating and binding the two who were fighting.And Fei Tan, who was leading the way ahead, also lazily pulled down his mask: "You guys, it's so noisy."

It is very rare to see such a bustling Phantom Troupe traveling as a whole.They flew through the air at a speed that the naked eye could not see clearly, rubbing their eyes so fast that people were confused.The voice that was accidentally lost in the wind seems to be still spinning in place, but the person who confides his heart has already disappeared in the distance.

They traversed one piece after another of familiar or unfamiliar lands; mountains of dirty garbage piled up, the flower streets of desire and desire were full of affection, and the familiar lands were silent.

Angus thought, from the time I was abandoned here at the age of nine to the time I walked out of here at the age of 14 with my legs, it took a total of five years.And now, I can finally leave.

He rarely felt melancholy.Familiar faces are like a revolving lantern in Angus's brain, showing infinite cycles, starting from Wenner, Zambini, Aceh, and in between... These memories that have already begun to fade suddenly surge and surge. My heart also ebbs and flows.

I'm leaving, Angus repeated in his heart: I'm leaving.

"...Angus...Angus...?" The chivalrous voice sounded close, and Angus suddenly opened his eyes.

"It's your turn." The knight patiently pointed to the position of the night watchman, and he reached out and tapped Angus, who was still struggling in a ignorant dream, "Wake up and get up."

The sleepy Angus rubbed his eyes, shook his head, walked to the vigil position and squatted down.

Even in the forest of this tentative resting place, there are still hidden murderous intentions and dangers.Therefore, the brigade tentatively set a two-hour night watch for each person to prevent sneak attacks.

It was already midnight, and all the spiders who had experienced a day of high-speed running fell asleep peacefully, and Zeni and Amy, who were on the same road, also curled up together and fell asleep.The freshness of the trees and the crackling bonfire are relaxing. Angus is thinking about how far he can go before he hears a familiar voice in the darkness: "What are you thinking?"

It's Kurolo.

Angus squinted his eyes and searched for a long time before he found the indistinct questioner under the ancient tree.

Scared me.Angus picked up a branch and poked the burning fire, "It's nothing." He replied softly, and stopped talking.

Kuroro was also silent.

Angus felt hot all over his body. He rubbed his legs that were numb from squatting, but he still refused to sit on the ground.

At this time, a coat was thrown out from the shadows, and Angus hugged it reflexively in shock.

"sit."

"Oh."

So Angus put his coat on the ground in a daze, and sat down.

...wait, what did I do?

Angus just came back to his senses at this moment, and after realizing that he used Kuroro's coat as a cushion, he jumped up and hurriedly tried to throw the coat back.

"I don't want to repeat it a second time."

"..."

Then Angus carefully folded his coat and put it on the ground, and sat down slowly.

Not even a thank you.Kuroro, who was hiding in the darkness, frowned, all of this was very wrong.While carefully looking at his number eight, the young man who was thinking seriously put his hands on his chin: he couldn't come up with an answer, an answer why Angus suddenly became silent and even started to distance himself.

Kuroro once again began to recall bit by bit from the beginning to the end. It seems that it all started with the return of Zone Zero?

"Angus." Kuroro pondered for a moment, then got up and sat next to Angus, his face became more serious under the light of the fire: "Can you show me your jade pendant?"

Angus nodded stiffly, reached out and took the jade pendant from his neck, and handed it to Kuroro.

The jade pendant tied with a red string was repeatedly played with by Kuroro, but he still couldn't see any problem, except that it was a little cold.

……cold?

Kuroro held the jade pendant tightly in his hand, trying to heat it up with his thoughts.

Ah, sure enough it failed.

Kuroro looked at Angus, who was puzzled, and made his unreasonable request after deliberation: "Angus, can you give this to me?"

"Huh?" Angus looked surprised: "Do you like this piece of jade?"

"What if... I say yes?" Kuroro asked meaningfully.

The tangled look on Angus' face caused Kuroro to subconsciously raise his hand and put it down again: Well, no, no face pinching now.Rub your head?It didn't seem to work either, and he avoided it several times.However, I did see Xia Ke knocking on the head, and Pike often touched his head.

...so it's just for me?

Kuroro, who had just stepped in, suddenly became upset. He raised his chin and glanced at Angus coldly.

"Okay," Angus shuddered involuntarily when he saw this, and nodded reluctantly: "If you want so much."

That's right.

Kuroro's face turned from cloudy to sunny in an instant, and he smiled with satisfaction, "Thank you."

Without saying anything, Angus nodded again, and continued to poke the fire with a branch.

He didn't know how to speak, how to talk to Kuroro happily as usual.After that dream, after Pike told him that men like men too.

After he realized that he might like Kuroro.

But this is not right.Angus pretended to glance at Kurolo inadvertently, then quickly turned his head to face the blazing flames.

He is my team leader and I am his team member.

Other than that, other than that... nothing.

Angus suddenly lowered his head in frustration, which made Kuroro, who had been observing calmly, move in his heart: this moody and moody situation, combined with Angus's many behaviors and developmental characteristics before...

Kuroro gave the answer with certainty - puberty.

Well, something wrong with Angus must be puberty.
