[Hunter] Kate

?After returning to the tree house, Layla was immediately hugged by Mitt. However, Mitt didn’t get angry about Layla’s sneaking into the forest. Instead, Mitt encouraged Layla to do so. It's too far away, and you can't go alone.

"My sister has the same temperament as you, and she is not very active...Of course, my sister is much more courageous than you!"

Mitte babbled while rubbing medicine on Leila's bruised knee.

"There's nothing wrong with being more active. My sister may have left me so soon after giving birth to you and Xiaojie because she was bored at home all the time and her body was exhausted... If you stay for a whole day, I will prepare an extra lunch for the two of you to take with you."

"No, Aunt Mitt, I don't want to go into the woods again."

Leila turned her head and didn't look at her wounds. Those red and swollen scars were fine if she didn't look at them, but she felt excruciatingly painful when she saw them. Moreover, after going there once, she had a lot of scars on her body, and her calves and back even There are still bruises, she absolutely does not want to go again!

"...Well, there's really nothing I can do about you."

Mitt put away the pill box and put down the skirt that Layla had lifted up to apply the medicine.

"I'll go to the kitchen to make two more dishes for the guests who brought you back. By the way, can I go now? If it hurts, I'll bring the meals to your room."

"No need, Aunt Mitt, how can I be so weak!"

Leila puffed up her cheeks unconsciously, got out of bed immediately, and put on the slippers in the house.

"Now I can still help Aunt Mitt!"

********

That night, although Leila offered to tidy up her room and give it to Kate to share with Aunt Mitt, she was clearly rejected. Kate said that she was used to this kind of life and there was no need to worry about it What changes did he make, and he also reminded him.

"Although I am grateful for everyone's hospitality, it's better to be wary of strangers."

Kate left after a hasty supper.

Although Leila said that she would never go to the forest again after bumping into each other, but out of interest in new visitors, she still got up early every day and went to the forest to sign in with her brother.

The residents on Whale Island are limited, everyone knows each other, and after a trip to the sea, it has almost become a tradition for the islanders to go to the small bar opened by Mitt. Leila usually helps Mitt in the bar, She can basically call out the names of the people on Whale Island, but suddenly a stranger came, and such a dazzling stranger, Leila's eyes moved to him involuntarily.

During the few days of getting along, Leila and Xiaojie gradually chatted more with Kate.

"By the way, Xiaojie, Leila, do you know anything about your parents?"

Kate was sitting on the fallen tree trunk. The more he looked at Xiaojie, the more he felt like someone in his memory. He couldn't help asking.

"I don't know, I only know that my mother is Aunt Mitt's sister."

Leila answered him immediately. She was sitting next to Kate with the little hedgehog in her arms. For some reason, the little hedgehog seemed to be attached to her. Anyway, the other side didn’t hurt herself, so Leila played with it, from time to time. Feed a food, shovel a shit.

"I heard a little about Papa from Aunt Mitt."

Xiaojie changed the diet of Mrs. Jie (the little fox and bear he was responsible for feeding) from milk to fish, and was trying to persuade him to eat it. After hearing the question, he raised his head and answered.

"Then do you know your father's name?"

"I know, his name is Jin Fulishi."

It all started in this plain conversation.

Kate told Layla and Jay that their father was alive, and that he was a hunter—that fascinating profession that was talked about these days, he was the best of them, and he was Kate's master.

Xiaojie's eyes lit up all of a sudden, but Leila was a little absent-minded.

"Hey, Kate, do you have to separate from your family if you become a hunter? Does it mean that you can't even take care of your own children if you become a hunter?"

After Xiaojie took the fox bear to learn how to fish, Leila couldn't help asking Kate, she felt that if being a hunter had to be separated from the family, then there was no good in being a hunter.

"...Of course not."

Kate scratched her head with a headache, trying to clear up her master.

"Master, he probably has some difficulties. There is no conflict between being a hunter and having a family. However, for hunters, there are too many interesting things in this world. A hunter will not stay in one place for a long time , They will use their limited energy to find infinite possibilities!"

"...In other words, those who can't keep up with them will eventually be left behind."

Layla looked at the little hedgehog on her lap, eating apples carelessly, and couldn't help but feel sentimental. She felt that after losing her parents, her brother was going to be gone, and—

"...Will Kate leave Whale Island soon too?"

"Ah, actually, I'm leaving tomorrow."

Kate moved her face away in embarrassment. Although she felt that it was a pity that Xiaojie had been staying on this island, for Leila and the people who took care of their siblings, it was the happiest thing for Xiaojie to stay by their side all the time.

As for Leila's sudden question about his whereabouts, he didn't think much about it, anyway, he had nothing to hide from such a little girl.

"So fast."

Layla looked even more depressed.

"Actually, I've stayed long enough. I came to Whale Island just to look for Master's whereabouts. Now that I'm sure he's not here, I'm leaving too."

"Then can you say goodbye to me before Kate leaves tomorrow?"

Afraid that the other party would not agree, Leila quickly added another sentence.

"I will definitely be waking up very, very early!"

"There's no need to get up early!"

Kate smiled and rubbed the top of the other's head, oh, it feels good~ It's like a soft little animal~

"Before I leave tomorrow, I will come to the tavern."
