[Hunter] Kate

?The first rays of morning light shone through the clouds over Whale Island, and the oil painting-like scenery came to life in the morning light. As usual, Xiaojie went to the forest very early, where there was a little fox and bear waiting to be fed Waiting for him, but this time Leila didn't come with him.

Kate checked the things around her and found that there was nothing left, so she walked to the tavern transformed from a tree house to buy a bottle of wine and say goodbye to Leila.

"Well, guest, the tavern is not open yet."

The old woman was mopping the floor, and when she heard the sound of the wind chime, she subconsciously reminded her.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry."

"Kate!"

Leila, who was cleaning the counter, couldn't help running out from the tall counter when she heard the sound, "Are you leaving now?"

"Well, Leila, we're saying goodbye."

Kate knelt down and rubbed the other party's hair, and it was no surprise that the other party blushed. What a shy child!

"Hey, Kate, if one day, I..."

Leila took a deep breath and mustered up a lot of courage.

"If I can catch up in your footsteps, can you take me together to find those infinite possibilities?"

"……Eh?"

Kate stopped rubbing the top of the opponent's head, her eyes widened slightly in surprise, and then she showed a rare gentle smile to Leila.

"Of course, but, Layla, this day may not come until a long time~"

Of course, it is highly likely that that day will never come.

Leila didn't hear the other party's subtext, and happily hugged Kate's neck, imprinting a saliva on his face.

"Then make an appointment like this!"

*****

In the next few days, Leila went to the forest with Xiaojie, trying to improve her physical strength in this way.

However, everyone's talent is different, at least Leila really doesn't have much talent for survival in the wild.

A few days ago, I chatted with Kate, sat on the tree trunk, and watched my brother and the little fox and bear get close. One day passed, but it really let her play in the forest all day, and improve her physical strength by the way. She really can't do it.

The bugs in the forest made her scalp numb, and the vines on the ground would trip her up from time to time, and the thorns on the thorns could easily pierce her skin. This kind of small wound that my brother can heal after a night's sleep, Layla needs to be fed for several days, and sometimes those wounds even become inflamed, putting her in the predicament of high fever!

My brother can easily find food in the woods, whether it is picking fruits or catching fish, he is a good hand!

What about Corella? !

She doesn't know how to climb trees, even if Xiaojie pulls her up a branch, her poor sense of balance will always allow her to be called by Mother Earth in the next second!

When picking fruit, she didn't know what kind of weird skill points she had ordered. No matter how similar the fruit she picked was to her brother's, she could always pick the poisonous fruit that was unique in thousands of miles, or she would be poisoned as soon as she used it. A large block of highly toxic substances!

Catching fish in the stream was like being played with by the fish. After taking one cold bath after another, I didn’t get a single fish scale, so I had to go back to drink ginger soup obediently.

Leila's courage, which she had worked so hard to muster, was worn away by repeated setbacks, and she almost gave up!

But seeing the figure of her brother getting farther and farther away from her, and thinking about Kate, Leila still gritted her teeth and persisted. Although she didn't go to the forest every day, she woke up early in the morning and ran dozens of times around the tree house. Never stopped.

******

Two years have passed in a flash!

Although Leila won't be panting after walking two steps, or tripping over vines when she goes to the forest, her wild survival skills are still not lit up, and the little hedgehog she raises is still that big.

According to Kate, this kind of hedgehog should be at least as big as her at this time, and the bigger ones can even reach two meters, but my own one is still so small that it can hold an apple and a grapefruit. Can crush that small body!

Leila didn't consider whether Kate had fooled her, but attributed the reason to the fact that the hunter is not omniscient.

Finally, on the day of Xiaojie and Leila's 12th birthday, two registration forms for the hunter exam were mailed to the tree house. As long as the guardian signed it, they could take the hunter exam. Turned up the tranquility of the tree house!

Mitt resolutely opposed the matter, and she proposed an almost impossible task - to catch the swamp fish spirit from the swamp within a week.

When Xiaojie picked up the fishing rod and rushed to the swamp, Leila was staring at the registration form for the hunter exam in a daze.Unlike her elder brother who yearns for a life as a hunter, Leila loves her family more. If she hadn't met Kate, living in a tree house for the rest of her life, living with her brother, Aunt Mitt, and her mother-in-law would be Leila's greatest wish.

'Are you really going to take the hunter test?with brother? '

Leila looked at the silent Mitt, and her heart was shaken. She didn't want Aunt Mitt to be sad at all, she hoped that everyone could feel the joy from the bottom of their hearts... And, with her ability, she could really participate Hunter exam?

"Chucky-"

The little hedgehog walked along Leila's skirt familiarly, all the way up to the top of her head, lay lazily on her head, and rubbed it contentedly.

"Liu, don't rub me, you stuck me again!"

Because this little hedgehog is the same as myself, when encountering danger, the first thing to do is to run away instead of meeting the enemy, so Leila simply named it [Liu Liu], hoping that it can run faster when it runs away...

Wait, she is not suitable to be a hunter after giving her pet this name!

******

"Layla, I caught a swamp fish!"

On the agreed seventh day, Xiaojie excitedly held up the strange-shaped fish several times his size, found Leila who was growing mushrooms by the stream, and told her happily.

"Leyla, come with me to see Aunt Mitt. I will tell you that I caught this marsh fish together with you, so you can go to the hunter experiment with me!"

"It actually caught it!"

Leila looked at the creature that she only saw in fairy tale books, her eyes widened involuntarily, and she looked at her brother with admiration.

"Brother, you are really amazing. I haven't heard of anyone who can catch it since I was born!"

"Hehe~"

Xiaojie rubbed his nose proudly.

"It took me a lot of effort to catch it!"

"However, brother, I don't need to be credited for catching it~ I've decided, I want to take the hunter exam next year!"

When it came time to decide, Layla relaxed instead.

"I want to catch up with my brother... and Mr. Kate. I don't want to hold you back, so I won't go to the hunter exam this time! I want to try it on my own strength, well, though,... The odds of not being successful are so high that I don’t even want to think about it.”

Leila got down again as she spoke, but she still put on a smiling face.

"So, brother, you have to try to pass it once! Because after you pass the exam, I might have to pass the hunter exam several times in a row~"
