[Hunter] The Meteor Legend after Lydia's Life Record

I had a splitting headache, and when I opened my eyes, Yalin looked at me with disgust.

"I'm sorry!" Before he could speak, I spoke first, my face was pale and my eyes were red, I blamed myself very much, and my attitude was so good that he snorted coldly and held back my scolding words.

As soon as his attitude softened, I vented my anger and felt even more sorry. I said sincerely, "I'm sorry, it's all because I'm too weak... I've caused you trouble!"

My head was still groggy, and my temples were aching, but other than that, there was no other discomfort.I propped my head up and sat up from the sofa - it seemed that Yalin brought me back.

Yalin was silent for a few seconds, looking at me with a strange expression.He seemed to be genuinely puzzled: "...how did you survive before?"

Being protected plus luck, well, I thought, looking at him and asking timidly: "I... have never encountered that kind of monster before! What is it?"

Yalin sighed, leaned back on the sofa behind him, and said, "You just need to know that there are far more than this kind of monsters in the sea here, and even more powerful ones appear from time to time."

I opened my eyes wide in shock, and Yalin said, "Otherwise, do you think that so many old monsters are full of food, and live by the sea to enjoy the cold wind?"

Do you say that you also use "old monsters"?I thought about it in a flash, then gathered my mind, returned to the question in front of me, and asked humbly: "I just...was I stunned by the cry of that thing? Didn't I block my ears? That's its attack method ?”

Yalin looked at me with disgust and helplessness, and said, "It's just an ordinary infrasound wave. It's just because you're too weak to faint."

"I'm sorry..." I muttered again.I was afraid that he would find me troublesome, so I quickly raised my head and said: "I, I will become stronger as soon as possible! I won't hold you back forever!" I looked at him earnestly, my eyes must be full of "Please don't abandon me!" I" flash.

Yalin leaned on the opposite sofa and looked at me leisurely.

I'm really panicking.I have agreed with Kuroro for a year, if Yalin drives me away now - of course he can and is likely to do so, after all, the facts of the past two days have proved that I am a burden that is of no use to him, if Raising a funny little thing is not only not boring but also has to take care of it, I would be impatient-but if he drives me away, all the plans will be messed up, and I don't even know what to do.Did he walk out of District Six alone?Or tell Kuroro to drop everything and come pick me up immediately?

Either result is something I would never want to see.

"I will work very hard, really!" I wanted to pat my chest and assure him, "Is my weak body a lack of exercise? I will exercise every day. I am not afraid of suffering. I will work very hard and use the fastest The speed is catching up! I will definitely not be so useless next time!" I said to him eagerly, almost swearing.

In the end, I blushed and whispered to him with shame, "Can you not drive me away...? I will really work hard..."

I really want to cry.

Under my apprehensive gaze, Yalin took a while to speak, and said in a calm tone, "It's just a few fish, can't I protect you?"

He frowned and looked at me, his tone filled with distaste again: "You brat...not only have persecution paranoia, but also habitually look down on people."

"I'm sorry..." I apologized reflexively, then reacted immediately, looked at him in surprise, and said sincerely, "No, thank you, thank you!"

I wiped my tears, held back my embarrassment, and said frankly: "You are such a good person! I will definitely repay you well!"

"... Heh." Yalin snorted, expressing his disdain.

We missed lunch due to my fainting.After I quickly put away the dinner plate on the table, skillfully threw it into the garbage bag at the door, walked back and wiped the table, stood by the table and looked at Yalin who was lying on the sofa watching TV hesitantly. Stop talking.

Finally, I mustered up the courage to walk up to him, and stammered, "Yalin..."

"Huh?" He fixed his eyes on the TV and responded casually.

"...Can you teach me how to become stronger?!" I said with a bang.

Yalin turned to look at me and raised his eyebrows. He didn't know whether he was surprised at my request, or he let me continue talking noncommittally.

I also know that I am too pushy—letting others take you in first, and now let others teach you, why is it so shameless? !But, but...

Anyway, no matter how shameful and tormented I was when I said what I said, I had no choice but to go on brazenly and earnestly, saying, "Please... I'm not afraid of suffering! But I don't know how to become stronger... I Just run in circles..."

I felt that my face was so hot that I could fry an egg. I dodged my eyes for a while and didn't want to look at him, but immediately stabilized and looked at him firmly, expressing my determination and perseverance.

"Can only run circles?" Yalin showed a mocking expression that was half a smile, and said ambiguously: "Then you should run around first and have a look."

That evening, when Yalin went out for a walk along the coastline as usual, he asked me to run behind him.

I now know that his original hobby was not walking on the beach, but fulfilling the duties of settling in the Sixth District.To put it simply, it is to patrol the coastline and kill the sea beasts that try to invade the shore.

The location of Meteor Street is not good. There are many extremely dangerous sea beasts in the adjacent sea area, threatening the safety of Meteor Street.Most of the old monsters in the sixth district are legendary hermit strongmen, but in fact they are also the guardians of Meteor Street.They divided the hundreds of miles of Meteor Street's coastline into their own territories, where they live and guard at the same time.

The scope of Yalin's responsibility includes the reef beach where I was discovered before and the beach where he lives, a total length of ten kilometers.He walked a circle along the daily inspection route, that is, I had to run with him for [-] kilometers.

It sounds easy, but in fact, the first time I ran, I was called off after running less than ten kilometers.

"Huchi...huchi...huh...huh..."

Out of breath, I followed behind Yalin, walking slowly, my feet were almost dragged in the sand and could not be pulled out.

"Is this also called running?" Yalin walked in front of me very leisurely with his hands behind his back, and taunted me without looking back, "Just say that you are a physical waste who can't even run ten kilometers, it's hard ?"

I was busy adjusting my breathing, dizzy and tinnitus, my throat was full of the smell of blood, my chest felt like a big stone was pressed, my eyes were blackened, and I couldn't answer at all.

It is more difficult than I imagined. Running on the beach is much more difficult than running on the ground, and the physical exertion is three to five times that of normal conditions.What's more, Yalin didn't know whether he was deliberately testing me, or he usually walked so fast, striding ahead to lead the way, faster than my normal running speed, and I didn't dare to stay too far away from him, so I could only chase him desperately. Once the rhythm is disrupted, it suddenly plummets.

The end result was that Yalin refused to give me special training, and only let me run behind him every day when he was patrolling the sea.When did you take off the hat of physical waste, and when will you talk about other things.

Now, in his words: "I didn't expect that I would be able to walk my dog ​​every morning and evening in the sixth district."

I used to be in Liuying Street, and I ran with Ma Qi every morning. It took me a year to stretch my physical fitness from running one kilometer to running ten kilometers.

I remember that in the last few days, when I ran back, Kurolo, Feitan, and Maqi, who started at the same time as me and had already come back for breakfast, applauded me together.

Although Kuroro clapped his hands perfunctorily, Feitan looked like he didn't even see my ridicule, and Maqi was puzzled and dazed, but at that time, I thought I had broken through myself, at least worked very hard.

After I came to District [-], I started from the beginning on the beach. I couldn’t run ten kilometers, and now I can run twenty kilometers in one breath without any effort. It took me a month.

Don't guess, no one has washed the marrow of I Ching, and I am not reborn, I just put my life into it.

It turns out that just working hard is not enough.

There is such a big gap between hoping to do it and having to do it.

When I ran the first full lap, I felt very accomplished.But in addition to being gratified, it was also inexplicably a little bit bitter.You said how strange people are.

One day a month later, when I followed Yalin to the end of the inspection route, Yalin crossed the point where we were supposed to turn back every day without warning, and walked into the unfamiliar beach ahead.

This should already be someone else's domain, right?

I feel that the people in District [-] have a strong sense of territory, because I have been running for a month, but I have never seen anyone appear in Yalin's territory, except for the kid who came to deliver the news last time.

... Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here.

On the beach in front, the black-haired kid silently standing on a reef looking at the sea, isn't that the kid named Illumi?

I was very impressed with him, because judging from the gathering of all members of the sixth district that day, he and I were the only two children here.

Hearing the movement, he turned his head and saw Yalin and me walking over. He jumped off the rock and walked in front of us. He said politely to Yalin, "Mr. Yalin, are you here to find grandma?"

Allen nodded.He then walked beyond Illumi toward the depths of the sand.The scenery along the coast is similar. At the end of the beach is a stone wall dozens of high, and there is a narrow stone step up and down.I saw a piece of the top of the stone wall sticking out, and a small wooden house was built alone.

The scenery there must be wonderful.

Yalin walked there for less than ten meters, stopped and turned to me and said, "I'll go up. You stay here and talk to him before I come back."

"He" was clearly referring to the only creature here besides us, the little boy Illumi standing behind us.

I opened my mouth slightly and looked at Yalin in disbelief.That kid was standing right behind us, and he didn't deliberately lower his voice, so he just said that?

In a month, Yalin and I have gotten to know each other very well.So I didn't hide my "Are you nervous?" eyes.

"If you tell me to do it, you can do it. It's for your benefit." Yalin glanced at me, shook his head and continued to walk forward, "I have no conscience, and I don't even think about who I'm doing it for?"

Yalin left on his own, leaving me alone on the beach, no, not alone, and there was a task target behind me who heard my "talk to him" task.I felt so embarrassed for a moment that I wanted to walk away.

But thinking about what Yalin said, I think he might be planning to give me special training!The child behind me is about the same age as me. Could it be a future classmate?I rolled my eyes, thickened my skin in my heart, and turned around to prepare to attack him.

A kid named Illumi, right? Lydia can handle even Yalin, let alone a kid about my age?

For special training, to become stronger, I joined!

As soon as I turned my head, I saw that the child was still standing in the previous position, staring at me with a pair of big dark eyes.I immediately showed him a friendly smile, eyes so bright that they curled up.Whoever said it, only when the eyes are curled up when you smile, that is a real smile.

According to my expectation, when he received my signal and smiled back, it was like building a bridge of friendly communication between us, and I could speak.

...he didn't smile.

My smile froze on my face.Sure enough, it's too simple, right?

"My name is Lydia, hello." I simply said to him directly.

He looked at me and said nothing.

"Hello. What's your name?" I said to him persistently.

He still looked at me without speaking.Those big eyes are straight.

"Hi, is your name Illumi?" I said in a friendly voice.

no response.

I stopped laughing a long time ago, as if I was competing with him, I couldn't hide my discomfort and said: "Actually, your name is Ilumi!"

He looked at me with no expression on his face, and he didn't respond to me at all, watching me talking to myself...

I'm finally sure he did it on purpose!

Damn it @#￥%... I was blown away by him!

I straightened the corners of my mouth, took a deep breath and tried to calm myself... If you are serious, you will lose... No!Look at how small he is!Virtue!

I burst out laughing.

"Hey...why are you ignoring me?" I couldn't help laughing. Sincerely, I just thought it was ridiculous for him to deliberately ignore me with a straight face - what a naive and boring person this is!

"You did it on purpose, right?" I said with a smile, "You're really interesting!"

He looked at me and suddenly tilted his head to one side.

That way seems to show innocence, and it seems that I don't understand how I can suddenly laugh.In this case, laughing like I guess is almost crazy.

Maybe he thinks I'm mad?

I somehow find him kind of cute.After all, he looks really cute.

... But that's not why he don't like me!

I am not convinced.Can't I handle him?Do not make jokes!

I don't believe he can be more difficult to deal with than Feitan!Although it wasn't me but Kuroro who got Feitan back then, haven't you seen pig running or eaten pork?

Let me think about it... In this case, what did Kurolo do at that time?

— Straight ball!Player Kuroro throws a straight ball!

That's right, play your cards differently!Ask questions sharply!To surprise!

That's it.

So I asked: "Hey, did you hear what Yalin and I said just now?"

He still looked at me without speaking.The difference is now that I know, we are just competing.

I said to myself: "He asked me to talk to you, and you heard it, so he deliberately ignored me and wanted me to talk to you, right?"

I looked at his idol-like appearance, and couldn't help but say it again: "You are really interesting!"

What did you say you drew!

He looked at me without speaking, but blinked.

...Hehe, so he still needs to blink?

I sneered and said, "But, do you know why he insisted on letting me talk to you? Ah?"

He looked at me blankly, but I think he's going to lose his grip!

I put in more effort, pursed my lips on purpose, and imitated Yalin's mocking tone: "Do you think you are a sweet potato? Why should I talk to you?...Don't you want to know the reason?"

"Why?" he finally said.

He opened his mouth!

"Hahahaha..." I couldn't hold it back for a while, and burst out laughing at him, and said intermittently while laughing: "Haha, you, you talked! Hahaha...you see you talk...hahaha... ..."

"Why?" he asked again.

"Haha...you talked haha...it's so fun!" I couldn't stop for a moment, and of course it was somewhat intentional to ridicule him.

"Are you kidding me?" He said flatly.

I was stunned for a while, and quickly stopped laughing, it's not good to tease too much!

I raised my head and said, "No, no... I think you are cute..."

He looked at me blankly, but his eyes were fixed on my face, making me think he was angry.Now I'm really panicking.

Just kidding, you can't really offend people!

I completely lost my smile, and said awkwardly: "Hey, are you angry? Don't, it's just a joke... Didn't you also ignore me on purpose?"

I was also too relaxed and carried away.Mainly because of his black hair and black eyes, fair skin, and his quiet appearance standing there, it reminds me of Kuroro... I quite like him.

I didn't know it was so funny!

"Why exactly?" he asked again.

I was dumbfounded.This... really have to give him why?I, I said it casually!Why?Say we may become classmates?

I didn't answer right away, seeing that he was going to be unhappy again, I hurriedly searched for an answer: "Well... because there are only two of us who are about the same age here! Maybe I want... Let's play together." The more I The more he said it, the more he felt it made sense, he nodded and said, "Here, let's make friends."

He blinked in slow motion and said, "Do you want to play with me?"

I was startled.

"...you're going to die." He continued, his face expressionless, his tone very serious, serious enough to penetrate.

My expression became serious, and my relaxed mood gradually tightened.

"Let's play hide and seek." He tilted his head and said to himself.

"Stop!" I didn't wait for him to finish, and when I felt bad, I immediately shouted with my words.

Almost when my voice fell, I realized that my eyes blurred and he was gone.There were two or three meters between us, but that guy jumped in front of me at that moment!

If my Yanling is even half a second at night, his claws will be on my heart!

Those are real claws!Black and sharp!

Is this guy a monster? —He wants to take out my heart!

I was overwhelmed with horror, but luckily my reaction was quick, and the spirit of speech stabilized him!

He actually wants to kill me if he disagrees!

I flew into a rage, and my fear mixed with killing intent instantly ignited in my heart.Taking advantage of him being immobilized by Yan Ling, I pounced on him without hesitation, the first to strike first!

"what are you doing?"

A hand grabbed my back collar as I rushed forward, and lifted me back.

It's Yalin!

I woke up instantly - why did I fight him? !He is the grandson of Mrs. Missel! ...What is my identity, and what is his identity!

I explained in horror: "I didn't mean to kill him! He wanted to kill me!"

That's right, even if my life was hanging by a thread just now, I never thought of killing him.How dare I.What I actually thought was to temporarily remove his limbs, just to protect myself.

"What's wrong with my grandson? Little girl, how did you do it?" Mrs. Missel's voice sounded from behind, calm and clear.

I was even more afraid.This is simply two children fighting. One side has parents to support them, but the other side doesn't!

I hurriedly said: "It's nothing, nothing! It's just fixed!" After I explained, I was afraid that if she didn't believe me, she would do something to me, so I hurriedly said to Illumi who was still in the posture of probing her claws with one hand: "Hey, it's okay, it's okay It's time! Get moving!"

Return my innocence!I didn't do anything to you, not a single hair was hurt!

...Obviously he wanted to kill me!

Illumi lifted the hold after I finished speaking.He lowered his hand, and the black claws gradually turned back into normal fingers.He looked behind me and said, "I didn't want to kill her either."

He was talking to Yalin.

Beating a dog depends on the owner. I really hope that Yalin is on my side.But I'm not sure at all.Illumi is the grandson of Mrs. Missel, but I was picked up by Yalin.Still the same sentence, what is his identity, and what is my identity.

I want to laugh at myself.

"I didn't look at you for a while and caused trouble." Yalin put me back on the ground and patted my head from behind.He didn't have much strength, but I bowed my head forward and complained in a low voice with a little grievance: "He did it suddenly... He said it well."

Yalin snorted, "Are you capable?" He only paid attention to talking to me, and ignored Ilumi who was opposite.I feel much better.

"I'm sorry..." I muttered with my mouth flattened.

"Illumi, what happened just now?" Mrs. Missel said in a clear and unhurried voice.

Illumi, who was standing opposite me, said in a flat tone: "She said she wanted to play with me, and I said let's play hide-and-seek, and then she said stop, so I can't move." Feeling: "Consciousness, but sudden loss of control of extremities. Not a muscular, nerve, or bone problem."

In the end, he said: "It's just hide-and-seek. I reminded her that she would die." He tilted his head as if aggrieved, but his face remained expressionless and his tone was flat, "But the killer hasn't been killed yet."

It is interesting that he addressed these last few words to Yalin, not to his own grandmother.

"Didn't your mother tell you before you came out? Don't just take the games at home and play with outsiders." Mrs. Missel neither defended nor blamed, but just said lightly.

She took two steps forward and looked at me from the side, and I immediately felt the weight of her gaze.

"Little girl, what power did you use just now?" she asked.She has a beautiful appearance, but her aura is even more pressing. Only those who face her directly can experience that pressure.

"It's the power that can fix the body. It can be controlled by voice. I have had it since I was a child. The stronger the person, the less effective it is." I said honestly.

"Oh——" Mrs. Missel responded meaningfully, and said to Yalin: "You didn't say that she still has such abilities."

Yalin snorted unhappily, "It's just to deal with a small role that doesn't make sense. Your kid will train for another two years, and she just has to wait to be beaten."

As he spoke, he patted me on the head again from behind in displeasure.This time I took it honestly—who let him know about my ability for the first time?

For the sake of him protecting me so much, I really didn't seem to be honest about this matter.But when walking in the rivers and lakes, who doesn't keep two hands for himself?So that's what happened.

"After all, he is an enemy beater."

On the other side, facing Yalin's pointed questioning, Mrs. Missel spoke slowly.Although I don't understand what "beating the enemy" means, this sentence sounds like an explanation no matter how it sounds.

... Beating up the enemy can make people's lives reckless, right?Obviously bullying people!

I pouted secretly.

She pondered for a moment, and said: "In this case, as an apology, let Illumi be in charge of this little girl's fighting training."

The author has something to say: Regarding the last chapter, when Kuroro wrote the first letter, he actually knew that Lydia was probably dead.What he meant was, don't be afraid, I will find you, and I won't leave you alone in the dark and cold waterway. (Note: This is obviously a thankless act.) Then the beginning of the second letter is: It's fine. (Note: This is nonsense.) ps This is a small detail, which corresponds to another small detail after the encounter later, you can look for it.
