you turned on the love game

Eurubian Continent, Guineador City.

It is located in the southernmost part of the entire continent, and the temperature is high all year round, with little change in cold and heat.So even in December, you can often see tourists wearing short-sleeved beach shorts walking by the beach.

Lush palm trees are planted on both sides of the path behind the beach, and a little further inside is the largest hotel here, with a total of fifteen floors.

The higher the number of floors, the more magnificent sea views you can enjoy.

A comfortable recliner was placed on the balcony of a certain room, on which lay a black-haired woman with her eyes slightly closed, carefully reading the newly published Hunter's Travels in her hand.

A blond girl with blue eyes was leaning on the armrest of the recliner, chattering and looking lively.

Suddenly, the black-haired woman said something, and the girl suddenly opened her eyes in disbelief: "What! You are going to participate in the hunter test?!"

The sound startled the resting birds on the balcony railing to flap their wings, and quickly rushed into the palm forest below, leaving only a few white feathers behind.

Your gaze sweeps from the end of the page, slowly turning a page.

"Yes, it would be very convenient to have a license."

Before you can read the text on the next page, your sight is suddenly occupied by the bright golden head, followed by a pair of unhappy eyes.

"Lena is going too!"

Pinching the fingertips of the page, you glanced at her lazily, a chuckle escaped from your throat, and then you closed the travel diary unhurriedly, raising your hand to smooth Linna's twisted hair.

"Well, yes."

Originally, I just wanted to use this to act like a baby with you, Lin Na, who never considered that you would directly agree: "Huh?"

The angry expression on his face froze, looking a little dazed.

You raised the corners of your lips: "Although my baby Linna has already obtained a hunter's license, according to the regulations, she is not allowed to take the hunter's exam again, but what does that matter?"

"It's nothing more than being warned by the Hunter Association..."

heard here.

Lena the dog pricked up its ears alertly.

Suddenly, a bad premonition welled up in her heart.

You put the hunter's travel book in your hand aside, pinched her face in a good mood, and then continued with her vigilant eyes: "Or the association will forcibly revoke the hunter's license..."

The girl immediately looked shocked.

"!" I don't know what to think, the pair of emeralds staring at you suddenly shrunk and turned into a pair of peas.

"After the hunter's license is revoked, you must have a passport if you want to legally stay in a country other than the country you were born in. Those countries and regions that are prohibited from entering can no longer enter openly like before..."

As you said that, you patted the blonde girl who was frozen in place because of your words, stroked her hair affectionately, and said with a smile: "It's just a small problem, right?"

She recovered immediately and shook her head.

"wrong……"

Lean forward slightly, raise your head, and put your chin in your arms slowly.

Then he murmured and complained in a low voice: "This is not a small problem, and our travel will become super inconvenient by then."

"How could it be? It can be solved easily."

You turned your face to look at her, and said seriously: "Look, after I get the hunter's license, I will first go to those prohibited areas through official channels, and wait for you to sneak in to find me."

"If you accidentally bump into the official arrest of illegal immigrants, you should run quickly, and we will find a chance to contact you later, what do you think?"

Lina: "..."

Lina: "No!"

She puffed up her face and looked at you with dissatisfaction. Seeing this, you sighed with feigned regret, and said with a smile, "Oh, that's such a pity."

The blond girl made a face at you, easily seeing through your intentions: "Missy is clearly teasing me on purpose."

"Yeah, I was discovered by you." You met her shining eyes, "Are you going to be angry with me?"

She snorted softly and buried her face in your clothes.

"would not……"

As she spoke, she raised her arms around your waist, rubbed her head vigorously, and her blond hair fell to the ground with her movements, spreading out softly.

"It's better to say it's super nostalgic."

Her voice sounded weak, like a child coquettish: "Since we reunited in the Sky Arena, Missy treats me like a fragile object, and rarely teases me like she did when I was a child."

You froze for a moment, lowered your eyes and smiled, and poked her forehead with your fingertips: "Really... But if you accidentally tease her too much and make Linna cry, wouldn't that be too bad? ?”

"how is this possible."

She raised her face, and said to you swearingly: "Even when I was a child, I never made me cry because of you."

"Really? What if I don't answer Linna's call during the hunter test, and leave directly by airship after getting the license?"

"Wow - this is not allowed!"

You couldn't help laughing, touched her hair, and suddenly asked: "Which one does Lina prefer, before or now?"

Linna moved her head, tilted her head to look at you, her eyelashes suddenly bent into half-moon arcs, and said loudly, "I like it so much!"

"No matter what kind of character the eldest lady becomes, as long as you can stand in front of me intact, Linna will be very happy!"

The sunlight fell into her pupils, like ripples in the clear green lake water, circle after circle.

Your heart suddenly trembled slightly.

Slightly astringent and soft emotions overflowed unconsciously from his eyes.

"Is that so..."

The humid sea breeze blows from a distance, gently pulling up the tail of your hair, which happens to cover your eyes.There were a few clear cries of seagulls in the distance, high and loud, as if they were going to pierce through the sky in the next second.

In just a few seconds, the sound of seagulls became farther and farther away.

The damp sea breeze is also getting shallower, and the wavy black hair hangs down again, sticking to your chest docilely.

You suddenly bent your eyes, raised your hand to pinch her cheek, and asked maliciously, "What if I become Hisoka's character?"

"!!" Linna's pupils trembled instantly.

After a fierce thought struggle, she opened her mouth weakly, her voice trembling slightly.

"Yeah, that's okay..."

You finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

After staying in the hotel for a few more days, it is almost time to start looking for the venue of the hunter test. You check out the room and head to the location indicated on the registration form with Linna.

The hunter test is different from other ordinary professional tests. It will not directly announce the location of the test. Candidates can only find the location of the meeting according to the information prompted on the registration form.

This is also a test for candidates.

Since the location of the hunter test is different every year, it is also set up in a place that is difficult to find.Therefore, it is difficult for candidates who have taken the test in previous years to rely on experience.

However, for Linna, who has long been a hunter——

"The reminder on the registration form is the market in this town, but the market is only open on Friday from 10:00 to 20:00. Since there is a time limit, the difficulty of finding a guide will be reduced as appropriate."

"Leader?"

"Well, the Hunter Association will send guides to confirm the candidates' talents, and then they will assist the candidates to go to the location of the venue."

Linna leads you through the crowd, "The test venue I participated in was underground, and there were handover signs. It is almost impossible to find the test site without the assistance of a guide."

You thought about it: "In this way, candidates who fail to find a guide will be rejected before the exam begins."

"That's right. In order to reduce the number of candidates, the Hunter Association will also set up various traps along the way."

As she spoke, she turned her head and smiled at you.

"The market in Guineador City is the clue given by the Hunter Association, so candidates will encounter some disturbances when they rush to this town. If they take a boat, they may deliberately detour around the dangerous sea area, and if they take an airship, they may also hit Equipment failure requires an emergency landing..."

"Really?" You looked puzzled, "It seemed like nothing happened when we came by airship last month."

Lin Na said without thinking, "Because it's a private airship."

She turned her head back and continued to look for someone, "It will happen if we take the "Hunter Test Flight" airship. "

While you were talking, a fiery afterimage quickly passed over the roof on the right, and the passers-by in the market looked up in surprise, but they didn't see anything, as if it was just a hallucination.

The further you go in, the fewer and fewer vendors are buying and selling in the market, and there are more guys holding brochures and shouting loudly:

"Special strategy for the limited hunter test! Written by the passers of the previous session, it is the only magic weapon to pass the hunter test! Now you can buy it for only 5000 rings!"

"Heavy special offer! The specific location of this year's hunter test has been leaked through special channels, and you can go directly to the venue for 3000 rings!"

"About the true identity of this session of guides..."

Although it was clear at first glance that it was fake news, there were still many people around who had the fluke mentality of "what if it is true", for fear that they would suffer losses because of missing important information.

Suddenly, a man with a big arm and a round waist pushed open the door and walked out.

"What's the noise!"

The people who gathered on the street to sell fake goods quickly ran away, and only the examinee stood there in a daze. After a few seconds, he covered his head and wailed: "I paid the money and haven't given me anything yet!"

The man impatiently picked out his ears, took out a cigarette from his clothes, put it in his mouth and lit it, "It's so noisy, I believe this kind of trick, just go home, lest you die in the exam. "

After training the howling candidates, he turned to face the crowd: "Listen, I'm a trial officer hired by the Hunter Association—"

As he spoke, he held up a stamped ID and shook it.

You turned your head to look at Linna, she immediately nodded knowingly, leaned into your ear and said, "It's a real ID, that's right. I thought I could see the guide directly, but I still have to pass the trial officer. "

"You have to complete one of my requests before you can get hints from me about the next step!"

Some candidates couldn't hold back: "You just said that those people are deceiving people, so how do we know that the documents in your hand are not counterfeit?"

The man exhaled smoke rings indifferently, "You don't have to believe it."

Candidate: "..."

The man ignored the candidate, took out a tattered magazine from the crack in the wall behind him, flipped through a page at random, pointed to some kind of fruit on it, and said lazily.

"My request is to pick one of this red fruit."

The man tore off the page of the magazine and pasted it on the wall, pointing to the mountains at the end of the road, "There are many such fruits on those mountains, but—"

He said meaningfully: "There are also many beasts."

The candidates first looked at each other in blank dismay, and then boldly leaned over to observe the appearance of the fruit. You also stood not far away to observe, making sure that you have seen this kind of fruit before in the book, and turned to look at the roof behind you.

"Margot..."

In the next second, a red afterimage sprang out from the other side of the roof and stopped in front of you amidst the exclamation of everyone.

It has been a few months since you came back to this world, and Margot's has changed from a small one that can get into your clothes at the beginning, to the size of a large dog like it is now.

You knelt down and rubbed its head, pointing to the page of the magazine on the wall: "Help me pick this fruit, okay?"

Margo flicked her tail, and the golden beast eyes stared at the red fruit on the magazine page.Immediately, he rubbed your face with his kiss affectionately, responded with a whimper, turned his head and ran towards the mountains like a sharp arrow out of its scabbard.

Linna whispered, "I can go too."

The trial officer fixed his eyes on Margo's body, flicked off the soot after he couldn't see her figure, and asked, "Warcraft Scarlet Wolf?"

After getting your affirmative answer, he scratched his hair and muttered something, then turned his head and yelled at the candidates who were still standing there: "What are you doing here? Are you planning to abstain!"

The examinees came back to their senses and hurried up the mountain.

Margot's speed is very fast, it brought back the red fruit within 10 minutes of the other candidates leaving, and the trial officer pointed out a new direction for you after confirming that it was correct.

"Go to No. 32 Huashizi Street."

[Signal: Black tulips delivered at 35:[-] in the morning. 】

Before you could speak, Lin Na asked first, "This is the venue, right? You are the trial officer, shouldn't you be the guide to assist the candidates?"

"Oh, I am also the guide for this session."

The man stroked the stubble on his chin, "Should have led you to another trial officer, and then brought you back to me after his review - but there is no need to be so troublesome."

He turned to Margot who was beside you, and said, "With such a powerful monster by your side, it's impossible for you to fail the trial officer's examination."

"Okay, thank you."

You pulled Lin Na, who had a gloomy expression, away, and asked her what was wrong after walking a few steps away. She puffed her face and said, "Why didn't I meet this kind of trial officer when I took the exam."

You suddenly laughed.

According to the prompt given by the trial officer, you came to a flower shop with ordinary decoration, opened the door and entered, the clerk smiled all over his face: "Welcome, what flowers do you need?"

"Black tulips delivered at 35:[-] in the morning."

Another clerk standing in the corner immediately stepped forward and took out a number plate from the counter with the number "168" written on it.

"plz follow me."

He took you to the back door of the flower shop, Lina did not receive the number plate.But he also tried to follow up, but was stopped by the clerk who greeted him with a smile: "Hunters are not allowed to take the test in violation of the rules."

"I'm not--"

"This store has installed face recognition."

You stood still helplessly, and turned around: "I will come out after passing the test, and you can call me halfway."

Linna retracted her feet aggrievedly, with her hands behind her back, like a well-behaved and sensible child.

"Then Miss, hurry up."

"Yes, I will."

Open the back door of the flower shop and you will find a closed room. The clerk operated a mechanism, the floor began to sink like an elevator, and the unique smell of sea water was immediately blown into your breath by the wind.

——This is an underground port.

The time limit has not yet arrived, and more than 100 candidates have gathered at the port. The clerk sent you off and then went back, leaving you alone to face the vigilant eyes of this group of people.

Although they are most likely not wary of you.

Instead, he was wary of Margot.

Suddenly, you find that there seems to be a vacuum in the crowd, and a guess arises in your heart, and you walk towards it. In the next second, a reflective card flies straight through the crowd towards you!

You don't have any evasive actions.

That poker card was non-aggressive, it just brushed the ends of your hair, and finally fell lightly on the ground.

"Um……"

The crowd gave way, and the red-haired young man sat alone on a dry stone, with several rows of upside-down poker cards in front of him, as if he was playing a game of drawing ghost cards.

He picked up a card with two fingers, and pressed it lightly to his lips, his dark golden pupils stared at you, his tone raised, carelessly sticky.

"It's coming very slowly..."

Margot yawned and lay on the dry place. You walked up to him, leaned over and touched the sticker on his face, and said softly, "Well, I was delayed on the road for a while."

"hiss--"

You hear gasps from the crowd around you.
