Mermaid Feeding Rules

One person and one mermaid stayed outside the nest for half the night, but because of the sensitive young mermaids in the nest not far away, they didn't do anything.

At noon the next day, Boyce was brought into the lair by Garcia.

The juvenile mermaids in the lair exchanged information very quickly. When Garcia brought Boyce to appear, almost all the juvenile mermaids knew the existence of Boyce.

Courtship is a very important thing in a mermaid's life. These juvenile mermaids swim past Beuys and Garcia from time to time, but because the adult fish dare not approach, they look at this strange human with curiosity. There were some obscure words that Boyce could not understand.

Garcia slapped away a juvenile mermaid who came to join in the fun with his tail. Boyce heard Garcia spit out a sentence, and his eyes swept over the surrounding mermaids. Stepped back a little.

Boyce didn't understand the meaning of Garcia's words. Garcia led him forward and explained to him in human language: "They are just a little curious about you."

Garcia's original idea of ​​showing off his partner to other mermaids was dispelled by more than half at this moment, but he can't leave here now, at least a few months before he can leave here with peace of mind and take Boyi with him. S returned to his territory.

Boyce had no objection to this, and followed Garcia to the cave where he lived as a child. During the time Garcia waited for the scars on his body to heal and fall off, he collected a lot of things nearby and prepared to tidy himself up. residence.

When they reached the vicinity of the cave, the young mermaid who had followed stopped tactfully.

Boyce followed Garcia into it, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the messy cave inside. A layer of seaweed was scattered on the ground. Inside the cave, the mermaid simply and roughly dug out a hole, and forced Garcia The shiny things I found were installed on it.

And on the edge of the cave, all kinds of pearl shells and coral reefs that Garcia found beautiful were piled up here in a mess.

As Boyce looked at the cave, the mermaid's tail curled up in embarrassment. He never thought that Hearst would do good things after going to land and bring Boyce back for him, so he collected a lot of them. There are few things, but there is not much tidying up.

Beuys spent three days in the cave with Garcia tidying up these things. After stacking all of Garcia's collections together, Beyce couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

These were sorted by Boyce for him and put away in the box Garcia picked up.

Boyce picked up the last thumb-sized pearl and put it in the box, then closed the box and stood up, looking around the cave that had been changed after the two men sorted it out, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart .

At this moment, Boyce's hand was touched by the mermaid next to him.

Boyce looked at Garcia, and the mermaid's tail pushed the closed box in front of Boyce, looking at him expectantly: "Here you are."

Garcia had been a little concerned when he heard Boyce say that he wanted to sell the house for money in that town last time, but he didn't have any money, only these beautiful gadgets he had collected could barely be given to Boyce. Kill the time.

But the things in the box are just what he has collected during this period of time. There is not enough time, so there are only so many.

Seeing that Boyce did not speak, the mermaid thought that he also felt that these things were too difficult to give away, so he approached Boyce and wrapped his tail around his ankles: "I don't have any money, so I can only give you these. "

"I found this by the way while I was waiting for you. When we go to my territory, I hid more there..."

Boyce came back to his senses, and pushed the head of the mermaid resting on him to the side.

He explained to Garcia, who didn't know much about human society: "These can all be sold for money."

Hearing this, Garcia's eyes lit up, and he opened the box: "Then next time we go to land, you should sell these."

"Not yet." Boyce shook his head. Under the current situation, he and Garcia should spend most of their time at the bottom of the sea. His savings are enough for the two of them to live on land for a long time.

After listening to Beyce's explanation, although Garcia felt a little sorry, he still put all these away according to Beyce's meaning.

……

In a sense, the life under the sea is not much different from the days when Boyce returned to the small town where his home is located, and life seems to have no big waves.

When Garcia inspects the lair, if he doesn’t go too far, he will take Boyce with him. If it’s too far, or the terrain is inconvenient for Boyce to pass by, Boyce will stay in the cave.

But because Boyce began to learn the mermaid language from Garcia after reuniting with Garcia, he didn't feel bored.

What's more, most of the time, Garcia is sticking to him.

Under such circumstances, Boyce inevitably encountered a few juvenile mermaids who came up to provoke Garcia.

In Garcia's childhood, he also did similar things.

The juvenile mermaids with the strongest strength in the nest are always not satisfied with playing around with their own kind. After challenging other juvenile mermaids, they often turn their attention to what they can do. The most powerful mermaid I've seen is on the leader.

Taking advantage of this stage, there is no price to pay for challenging the leader.

If Boyce is not there, Garcia naturally doesn't mind spending time with them, but since Boyce is here now, Garcia is naturally unwilling to spend time on other mermaids.

With this time, wouldn't it be good for him to be with Boyce?

He simply and neatly slapped the young mermaid who was trying to provoke him away with his tail. As soon as he took over the position of the leader, he was frequently provoked and touched Garcia's face showing a bit of impatience. The stone smashed into pieces.

After returning to the residence, Garcia noticed that Boyce seemed to be thinking about something and hadn't recovered.

"What are you thinking?" Garcia leaned over and asked directly.

Boyce was just thinking about the mermaid that was slapped away by Garcia's tail before. He was anxious to get back with Boyce, and he didn't hold back much when his tail twitched.

"It's okay." Garcia flicked his tail indifferently. Everyone came from this stage. When he was young, he was shot like this a few times for provoking Hester, and it didn't cause any serious problems. But it was enough to make the group of young mermaids calm down for a while.

When he had finished explaining, he put his tail in front of Boyce.

Boyce froze for a moment, and looked at him suspiciously.

The blue tail flicked lightly in the sea, revealing the scales without even a single scratch. Garcia looked at Boyce with hints in his words: "I just smashed the stone with my tail... "

Garcia, who made out with Boyce with the excuse of the tail, hugged the human being with a satisfied face.

He rubbed against Boyce's neck, and Boyce felt itchy when the mermaid's hair brushed against his neck, so he reached out and brushed his hair aside.

Garcia doesn't really like other mermaids around Boyce, because mermaids are inherently possessive.

Unlike humans, Garcia was used to living alone as a mermaid after he became an adult. Before parting ways with Boyce, he didn't even know what loneliness was.

But humans seem to always need to socialize.

Garcia held Boyce's hand, and the human beings spread their five fingers in a timely manner, and clasped the two hands tightly together.

"When I'm not around, you can talk to those mermaids outside..." Garcia said, they will not hurt Boyce, and the young mermaids who are very curious and eager for Sofia are not willing to let go. Learn about human opportunity ahead of time with Beuys.

"But you can't stay with them all the time when I come back." Garcia recalled the days in the institute, Boyce was always busy with various affairs in the laboratory, and had to ignore himself for various reasons.

Garcia hopes that Beuys can socialize here, just like he does in human society, but Garcia must ensure that he is the most important mermaid of Beyce.

Boyce nodded along with his words: "You are always the most important."

……

When Garcia went to patrol in the distance again, a young mermaid patted the hole with its tail. Before getting Garcia's permission, they would not set foot in the leader's residence. They could only rely on this method to get Bai drawn out.

Boyce went out and saw a group of mermaids waiting outside at a glance.

The leader is a gray mermaid. The appearance of mermaids will change significantly after they become adults. Before that, their appearance does not look more than that of humans.

Every mermaid is holding something in his hand, pearls, beautiful shells, coral...

Boyce was taken aback by the gesture.

The mermaid at the front opened his mouth first, and what he uttered was indeed Boyce's native language. His pronunciation was a little jerky, and the whole sentence was slowly uttered one syllable: "Can you teach us human language?"

He pushed the beautiful shell in his hand towards Boyce again, which was the reward he could pay.

As the only adult fish and humans in the nest, Boyce and Garcia's behavior is still very conspicuous in the eyes of young mermaids. They have seen Garcia and Boyce occasionally bring these things back in addition to food, so they are going to use these as a reward.

As for sending food to Boyce, they never thought about it.

Mermaids are used to sharing food only with their mates, and even if they didn't mind that, Garcia wouldn't agree, and the young merfolk knew it all too well.

Boyce looked at them for a while, hesitating for a while. The gray mermaid in the lead thought that Boyce was concerned about Garcia's reluctance to agree, and before he spoke, he added: "Garcia doesn't mind your contact with us."

They also got Garcia's tacit approval, so they came to Boyce directly when Garcia was away.

……

Boyce thought that the bottom of the sea was really boring, so he agreed. These young mermaids are also very interesting, and they never bother Garcia when he is still in the cave.

Garcia came back from patrolling outside the lair, followed the familiar aura, and saw Boyce surrounded by young mermaids at a glance.

The young mermaid, who hadn't provoked Garcia for a long time, was about to move. The gray mermaid swam forward a few meters and looked up at Garcia.

Boyce looked at Garcia, who dismissed the young mermaid's provocation, glanced at him lightly, and then held Boyce's hand with a hint of showing off: "We're going back."

His subtext is clear, his time is Boyce's and he doesn't want to waste it fighting a school of juvenile fish that means nothing to him.

However, as a mermaid, although he is not yet an adult, the gray mermaid obviously knows how to stimulate Garcia.

"I sent Boyce a seaweed today."

There was a smile on the gray mermaid's face, two pointed canine teeth were exposed, and he added: "It's edible food."

"He's lying to you." The gray mermaid never gave him any food at all, and Boyce later accidentally learned the special meaning of sharing food among mermaids, so he would take the initiative to avoid this situation.

Before Garcia could do anything, Boyce held Garcia with one hand and the gray mermaid with the other to deliberately provoke him.

During this period of time, he had fully understood the aggressiveness of the young mermaid, but he was still a little taken aback when he heard Garcia being so provocative.

"I know." Garcia naturally believed that the gray mermaid would not make such an outrageous move, but he had to admit that he did succeed in provoking.

After teaching the gray mermaid a lesson, he got up from the ground and looked at Garcia with burning eyes: "One day, I will defeat you too."

The young mermaid didn't think carefully about the meaning of being the leader, but was driven by instinct, just as Garcia challenged Hester to take over the leader's position from him.

Garcia walked forward holding Boyce's hand, and replied casually, "Then I'll wait."

After returning, Garcia found that Boyce had been looking at him.Subconsciously touched his face.

Any questions?

Garcia thought with some doubts.

"Do you really not care about being successfully challenged by other mermaids?" Boyce was still a little surprised. After all, in the past, before he knew that he was not Garcia's "sofia", Garcia also had great obsession with the position of leader. However, after becoming the leader, Garcia seems to have lost interest in the position of the leader.

Garcia nodded seriously.

In the past few months of becoming the leader, he has completely dispelled his previous obsession with challenging Hearst.

After becoming the leader, Garcia spends a lot of time and energy on the safety of the lair every year, and the time Garcia and Boyce spend together is greatly reduced.

He leaned on Boyce and complained softly that he had to part with Boyce, and went to patrol around the lair alone as a mermaid: "When the next leader takes over here, we will go to my territory..."

At that time, not only the seabed, even if Boyce wants to go to land, it is not impossible.

However, as a leader with a natural sense of responsibility, Garcia instinctively chooses to go all out in the challenge until he chooses the next young mermaid who is strong enough to protect the group.

"That's okay." Boyce looked at him. "We've got a long time."

……

Boyce was taken by Garcia to his property before Garcia's next breeding season.

But because Garcia's territory is far away from the lair, he usually has little time to visit. When they arrived, Garcia found that his territory was once again occupied by a giant octopus.

Then Boyce and the others ate very fresh octopus legs that night.

After Garcia, who was restless in estrus, stuffed Boyce into his lair, he swam out and drove all the large animals around that might disturb him to another place.

Boyce waited for a while in Garcia's lair holding a glowing bead, and then saw Garcia appearing out of the lair panting.

He moved a pile of seaweed to block the hole, and then approached Boyce. Boyce looked at Garcia's approaching face, his heartbeat accelerated, and he closed his hand subconsciously, trying to grab something, but accidentally pulled it The fins on the mermaid's arms slipped out from between the fingers.

Garcia leaned down and kissed the corner of Boyce's mouth. Boyce closed his eyes and heard the mermaid whisper in his ear: "No one will bother us now."

……

In the second year when Garcia became the leader, the juvenile mermaids got acquainted with the new leader, and the provocative behavior gradually became less, but after the first breeding period after Garcia became the leader, other adult mermaids began to challenge .

Boyce had heard from Garcia that mermaids were distributed in different sea areas, but he still couldn't figure out how they communicated so that all the mermaids would know the news of the leadership change.

Boyce was eating a piece of seaweed, and Garcia on the opposite side was finishing the fish in his hand. After living with Boyce for a few years, the mermaid's eating behavior gradually approached Boyce.

Halfway through the fish meal for one person, Boyce saw Garcia put down the fish in his hand.

"What's the matter?" Boyce glanced at it. Garcia hadn't eaten half of his usual meal, so why did he stand up and prepare to go out.

"There are other mermaids coming to challenge." Boyce could even see a somewhat happy look from Garcia.

"Then I'll go out with you?" Boyce also put down the things in his hand and looked at him questioningly.

"No need." Garcia shook his head, he looked at Boyce: "I'll be back soon."

Hearing this, Boyce stopped planning to go out with him.

However, after Garcia finished speaking, he did not leave directly, but continued to be there.

Seeing that the shadow in front of him didn't move, Boyce looked up suspiciously. Garcia leaned down and asked him expectantly, "Can I have a farewell kiss?"

Boyce was stunned for a moment, but before he spoke, a kiss was placed on the corner of his lips, and Garcia looked up at him: "I'm leaving."

"En." Boyce touched the corner of his mouth, responded, and told the back of the mermaid, "Try not to get hurt."

After Garcia left, Boyce still felt a little worried when he remembered the appearance of Garcia when he was sent back by Hearst.

He thought about it and went out.

Boyce walked out of the cave, just in time to meet a red-tailed mermaid: "Do you know where Garcia and the others are?"

The red mermaid nodded, he was about to go over there.

Boyce followed behind the baby mermaid, and the two soon arrived at the place where Garcia and the challenger were fighting.

When Boyce arrived, Garcia was slapping the challenger on the ground with his tail, completely losing the ability to resist.

"Give up?" Garcia looked down at him and asked.

Seeing this scene, Boyce slowed down his anxious footsteps, leaning against a rock and looking at Garcia over there.

It was very strange to Boyce.

In front of Boyce, Garcia is more used to restraining himself into a harmless appearance, and he appeared in this appearance at the beginning, trying to reduce Boyce's defense against him.

Until now, he is still used to this disguise.

Different from the small fight with the young mermaid, Garcia, who was going all out, was full of danger. It was not until the challenger gave up and Garcia let him go that he restrained himself from the state just now. .

After Garcia dealt with the challenger, he just raised his eyes and saw Boyce looking at him over there.

Garcia recalled how Boyce looked wary and fearful of him when they first met, and there was rarely a hint of guilt in his eyes.

Seeing him standing there motionless, Boyce took the initiative to walk towards him.

He took the mermaid's hand: "Is there anything else?"

Garcia shook his head, everything has been resolved.

"Then go back to eat." Boyce walked back holding his hand.

On the way back, Garcia frequently looked sideways at the humans next to him, hesitating to speak.

Boyce looked at what he wanted to say, but hesitated, and asked him, "What do you want to ask?"

"Aren't you afraid?"

Boyce gave him a look: "No." After accepting Garcia as his lover, he had already accepted this.

What's more, before this, Boyce has always been very clear that this mermaid is far from the gentleness shown in front of him.

……

After returning, Boyce saw Garcia pick up the half-eaten fish and approach him again. Boyce looked up at him.

Garcia complained softly beside him: "He lost again..."

Although he knew in his heart that the mermaid who came to challenge might not win, but after he really lost, Garcia still had some regrets.

"It's okay." Boyce felt that it's actually good now, and it doesn't matter if he waits a little longer, after all, he has also undergone transformation now and has enough time to accompany Garcia.

……

The days passed when Garcia occasionally met the challenges of other mermaids. Boyce couldn’t help going out to have a look a few times because he was worried about Garcia, but after a few times, Boyce was relieved. After all, not every mermaid They all fought each other with their lives like Garcia did at that time.

Once again Garcia knocked a challenger to the ground and turned to leave, while Boyce was still waiting to go back to eat.

He recalled the battle just now, and had to admit that this green mermaid was the weakest one he had encountered since he became the leader, and his strength was only a little stronger than the gray mermaid in the lair.

However, before Garcia left, the challenger behind him suddenly stopped him: "You took away my sofia."

Garcia paused, stunned for a moment, and then realized that the mermaid in front of him should be the one that originally corresponded to Boyce.

Garcia, who had no interest in him at first, looked at the green mermaid, and suddenly found him disliked.

"What do you want to say?" Garcia frowned, "Boyce was never your sofia."

What's more, now that he has transformed Boyce, even if this green mermaid wins, he can't do anything to Boyce.

Garcia looked down at the green mermaid who had just gotten up just now, not to mention, with the ability of this mermaid, he couldn't beat him at all.

He flicked his tail a little irritably, and gave the green mermaid a cold look: "The challenge is over, you should go."

The green mermaid was a little bit unwilling: "I want to see him."

"Boyce doesn't want to see you." Garcia didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, and was going to start driving people away by himself.

And Boyce didn't wait until Garcia came back, and after waiting for a while, he came out to look for him directly.

Just heard this sentence.

The two mermaids also saw Boyce, and Garcia subconsciously swam over to block Boyce behind him.

"He's mine." Garcia bared her teeth at the green mermaid, looking at him threateningly.

"I know." The green mermaid nodded, then turned her head and looked at Boyce seriously, "I just want to know what my original 'sofia' should look like..."

After he finished speaking, he grinned at Boyce, and after introducing himself, he looked at Boyce eagerly: "Is your name Boyce?"

"Who is he?" Boyce looked at this strange mermaid, feeling a little baffled.

When the green mermaid heard him mentioning herself, she was happy to tell her story.

Garcia looked at him dissatisfied, and interrupted what he said later: "Now that you have been seen, it is time to go!"

As Garcia spoke, he raised his tail towards him. The green mermaid still remembered the feeling of being hit by a tail just now, and shrank her neck subconsciously, but looked at Boyce, and said boldly: "You were supposed to be my 'sofia'."

Boyce paused and looked at him: "And then?"

The green mermaid glanced at him, then looked at Garcia, who was also not very good-looking, and said in a weak voice, "I just want you to know..."

There are several different types in each race, and the green mermaid is also one of the mermaids, in terms of strength and character.

Compared with other mermaids, his strength is too weak, and he can barely make a living on the bottom of the sea by guarding his own small territory.

Because of this, after knowing that his sofia was marked by other mermaids, his first reaction was not to snatch it back, but began to wonder whether he should find a chance to meet Boyce.

The green mermaid wandered outside the lair for a few days, and finally made a decision, even if he was doomed to have no partner, at least let him see what "sofia" should look like.

Boyce and Garcia watched him glance at Garcia's tail, and took a step back in fear: "I'm not here to rob people."

He couldn't help complaining: "Sofia is gone, can't I come and take a look?"

Boyce definitely won't be able to snatch it back. If he wants Sofia, he can only snatch it from other people, but with his strength, other mermaid Sofias can't be snatched at all...

When Boyce heard this, he subconsciously glanced at him, inexplicably feeling that this mermaid was a bit naive, and that he seemed to be of a different race from the other mermaids he had seen before.

After listening to his explanation, although Garcia's face was still not very good-looking, it was better than before, especially after the green mermaid recognized her strength and said that she would not try to rob people.

After sending the green mermaid away, Boyce heard Garcia talking about the shortcomings of the mermaid just now in his ear on the way back.

Boyce heard him babbling a lot, and when he looked over, Garcia stopped and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

He and Boyce looked at each other for a while, and then wrapped their tails around Boyce again.

"He's too weak," Garcia said. "Only I can protect you."

Boyce looked at him for a while: "It doesn't matter to me what happens to him."

Boyce looked at him and knew what Garcia wanted to hear: "I only care about you."

"I know."

Garcia naturally believed in Boyce, he just cared a little because of the natural identity of the green mermaid.

"But 'sofia' only binds mermaids." Boyce looked at him, "As long as you don't choose another sofia, it doesn't mean much to me."

"I won't," Garcia said, "I only recognize you as my partner."

……

After this, Boyce and Garcia did not see the green merman for a long time, and after meeting Boyce and letting him know of his existence, he was never seen again.

Garcia has not waited for the successful challenge of the merman, Boyce and him stayed in the lair year after year, the gray merman and several older merfolk have grown up and left the lair. After that, other mermaid eggs were also sent in.

In general, although it is not as well-developed as the Internet on land, there are some other conveniences, but Boyce has adapted well and is not tired of living under the sea.

During the time of the year when Garcia was able to leave the lair, they also went to land, and went to the small town where Boyce's family was located.

When Boyce returned, rumors of the "water monster" triggered by Garcia were still circulating in the town. At that time, the young man who tried to explore the secret of the "water monster" with his friends had grown into a young man.

When Boyce returned, he was greeted warmly: "We thought you really weren't coming back."

"Sure enough, you shouldn't have sold the house at that time. Look, you're back now!"

"Who is that next to him? He looks so good-looking!"

As they talked, their eyes moved to Garcia beside Boyce.

Before coming over, they went to Louis first, and he provided Beyce and the others with disguise tools, which could draw the mermaid's head not much different from that of a human.

In the past few years, Boyce heard that Louis and Hearst had reconciled. When Louis said that he figured out the reason for himself and Garcia, Boyce was stunned for a moment.

When Garcia and Boyce talked about it, there was still envy in his tone. Boyce probably knew the reason, but he felt that Hurst didn't have to stay in the lair for most of the year now, and he didn't have to worry about being intimate with Louis. Will not be heard by other merfolk.

He comforted Garcia: "After a new mermaid takes over for you, we can also..."

Back to the present, Boyce pushed Garcia on the wheelchair and introduced to others: "This is my partner."

Garcia liked the feeling of being open about their relationship with someone Boyce knew well.

He enjoyed being stamped as partner by other people, although it seemed okay not to have other people's acknowledgment, and it would not have any impact on his relationship with Boyce.

"Your boyfriend is so pretty."

"You guys are a good match..."

Hearing the compliments from the people around him, Boyce accepted them one by one, looked down at Garcia, and covered the blanket above Garcia's knees with his feet to prevent him from accidentally revealing his secrets.

He glanced at Garcia, who was still a little unsatisfied: "It's getting late, we should go back."

On the way back, Boyce even received an apology from the teenager with whom he denounced "irresponsible partners."

The man who had grown into a young man had a bit of guilt on his face: "...I didn't know about your boyfriend's situation at the time, so I thought it would be irresponsible for him not to come back with you..."

Boyce had actually forgotten about this. He looked down at Garcia's "limped" leg, and accepted his apology with a guilty conscience.

But Garcia was a little puzzled, how did he get labeled as irresponsible?

……

When Boyce and the others had time to come out decades later, they happened to meet the green mermaid who complained that they might not find a mate.

Boyce wondered if Garcia had cast a heavy shadow on him, so he turned and ran away as soon as he saw them.

After Boyce told Garcia the speculation, Garcia felt that it seemed reasonable.

but……

Garcia recalled the information he had seen from the green mermaid just after a face-to-face meeting.

"It looks like he already has a partner."

The green mermaid has an aura unique to the transformed mermaid.

Garcia wondered, wondering whose "sofia" he stole from?

In a place unknown to Boyce and Garcia, the green mermaid swam back and forth in its small territory, putting away things that it considered important.

The human next to him watched his movements and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"

He leaned over and looked at his partner: "shall we move?"

He really couldn't beat that blue mermaid.

Human beings didn't realize it for a while, why did they go out happily this morning, and packed their things in a panic when they came back?

The green mermaid ran away overnight with her partner.

However, I don't know why it was such a coincidence. When he was running away with his partner, he happened to run into Garcia again.

The first time I saw Garcia, even though I couldn't help but tremble, the green mermaid subconsciously stood in front of her partner.

"He...he is my partner..."

The other two people present and a mermaid were stunned for a while, and Boyce first understood what he wanted to say.

Boyce looked at the human being blocked by the green mermaid. If he didn't guess wrong, he should be "sofia" who should have corresponded to Garcia.

It is understandable that the green mermaid has been avoiding Garcia and the others.

Garcia hadn't realized the hidden meaning in the green mermaid's movements.

"What does that have to do with me?" He asked a little strangely.

"Can't you feel it?" The green mermaid is a little strange. The corresponding "sofia" is still different for mermaids. For me, the breath is completely different from other "sofia".

Garcia shook his head. For him now, the receptors can only distinguish two types of breath belonging to "sofia": Boyce, or someone else.

Hearing this, the green mermaid seemed to have let go of something, and was happily carried back by the humans around her.

When Boyce heard this answer, he subconsciously remembered the results of previous experiments.

The mermaid's receptors will develop a second time after meeting a partner, so as to adapt to their partner.

He also remembered the time when Garcia was uncomfortable in the back of his neck and complained too much that he and Collins couldn't breathe clearly.

However, after that, he never misidentified the aura of the two of them again.

Boyce's hand was brought by Garcia and landed on the receptors behind him. It obeyed the will of the owner during the second development, and would never accept anyone except Boyce.

"It only recognizes you," Garcia said.

"Me too."

……

In the following decades, Boyce went back several times to transform himself into an aging appearance with the help of the disguise tool provided to him by Lewis.

After experiencing the death of familiar elders, the aging and death of friends, until the young people who were familiar with before the transformation have also been buried. When he went to the town again, Garcia was ordered by him to stay in the lake and did not follow. Boyce saw wearing the same
