Chapter 544: Parents have shortcomings
“Hayata.”
As soon as Gordon sat down, Pine smiled and said to Hayata: "Go and make a pot of tea for your friends."
"OK."
It feels like a long time has passed, but in fact it was only two years ago that she left Minagard and embarked on a journey alone, and she has lived in this house for more than ten years since she was a child.
Of course she knew exactly where the tea cans and tea sets were.
I just hope that the tea leaves in the tea can are not the same batch of tea she bought two years ago.
Hayata was sent to make tea, and Pine's eyes immediately returned to Gordon.
gers
Gordon smiled stiffly.
"Young man, your name is Gordon, right?" Pine spoke, his tone could not be said to be distant or stiff, but it was certainly not too enthusiastic.
“Ah, yes, sorry, I haven’t had time to introduce myself yet.”
“It’s okay, Amos told me about you.”
“Ah, Mr. Yamos?”
“Well, we are good friends who grew up together.”
Pine paused at this point, considered his words, and then continued: "He told me that there is a young male hunter who has a good relationship with Hayata."
“Right.” Gordon replied with a dry smile.
I always feel that it is awkward to say anything when facing this uncle.
“What do you think is Hayata’s most outstanding advantage?” Pine suddenly changed the subject and asked this question very abruptly.
Gordon, who was a little confused, blurted out, "Super lucky?"
ˆPine: “?”
Pork Chop, who was squatting on a chair nearby and watching, covered his face.
“Ah, no, I mean optimistic, strong, and considerate.” Gordon realized that he had said something stupid and quickly made amends.
"Well, that's quite objective." Pine's expression softened.
Hayata, who was holding the tea tray, almost ran back all the way. Halfway through making the tea, she suddenly realized something was wrong and hurried back to take a look.
“You didn’t say anything strange to Senior Gordon, did you?” Hayata glared at Pine.
“Of course not, we had a great chat, didn’t we Gordon.”
".yes."
Hayata stared at Pine for two seconds, then hummed and continued to make tea while holding the empty tea tray.
A silence fell between the two men.
"well-."
Pine sighed, feeling that it was pointless to ask or say anything else.
With this thought, Pine felt a lot more relaxed. He began to ask Gordon about Hayata's time as a hunter, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became much more harmonious.
After some time, Hayata came back again, this time the tea tray in her hand was full.
In addition to tea utensils such as cups and pots, there are also sugar and jam for flavoring the tea, as well as several snacks.
Pine took the teacup handed over by Hayata, and the first words the latter said made him flick his wrist and the tea started to flow out.
“Uncle, have you found an aunt for me?”
“Uh, huh? Ah, why do you think so?”
Hayata pointed to the teacup and then to the tea cakes, "The tea leaves are new, and the tea cakes are also very fresh. They are also handmade. You don't do these. You only soak the bread with black tea and eat it."
The yard outside has also been carefully taken care of, Gordon added in his mind.
“Is that so?” Pine looked a little nervous.
Hayata rolled her eyes, "Why are you nervous? I will stop you? I have been asking you to find me an aunt since I was a child, but you always say that the job of leading a caravan is too dangerous and that others will look down upon you. of."
In fact, Hayata herself knew that another more important reason why her uncle Payne never got married was because of her own procrastination.
"So who is this person? Is it beautiful? Do I know him?" Hayata asked with bright eyes.
Pine suddenly felt a little bit of Gordon's previous embarrassment. He rubbed his rough hands and said with a dry smile: "The one who has been taking care of you."
“Ah, as expected, Aunt Marpel? No, maybe I should call you aunt in the future. I have long felt that there is something wrong with you two, but you still refuse to admit it.
It took so many years...ah! I know, you really treated me as a dragster, so you only started taking action after I left! "
"Nor will it be the case, nor will it be the case."
Looking at Pine across the table who lowered his head to accept Hayata's scolding, Gordon and Pork Chop looked at each other.
Is it so that Hayata is so aggressive when she is at home?
One person and two cats were watching the show, but at this moment the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman in simple clothes walked in carrying a rattan basket.
She was obviously taken aback when she saw the lively scene in the house.
“Aunt Mapel!” Hayata cheered and ran over.
But this time she obviously paid more attention, and did not make any bones creak like when she hugged Pine before.
Hayata did not continue to tease the two of them about this incident, but the title of "aunt" already showed her attitude.
Mapelle was a little embarrassed at first, but after all, he was the one who single-handedly raised Hayata. After getting over the initial embarrassment, the three of them sat together as if they were a family of three.
Gordon is numb.
Hayata, the aunt-to-be, looks at her with a much harsher look than even Pine.
“Aunt, where is sister Nellie? Let’s have dinner together tonight!” At this time, Hayata showed extraordinary enthusiasm.
She didn’t understand it when she was a child, but when she grew up, she gradually realized how much her uncle Pine had paid for her.
Now that I have discovered that Pine is expected to be single, I can’t wait to send the two of them to register immediately.
Mapel said with a smile: "Okay, I asked her to come over in the evening, and she often said 'Sister Hayata' to us. She has always admired you."
“Huh? Really?”
Mapel began to reveal Hayata’s background, “Hayata looked quiet and quiet when he was a child, but he was actually the king of children.
Neli has a weak temper. When a boy bullies her, she will rush over and beat them up. She will chase them with a stick and beat them. Children in the whole street are afraid of her. "
“Aunt!”
Gordon grinned, not surprised.
Ever since he saw Hayata's "Red Blade Fever", he understood that Hayata's gentle side was just an appearance.
"Hayata, do you know that Nellie went to the hunter training camp to sign up just after you left Minagard two years ago." Pine took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
“Huh? What happens next?”
“Then he was kicked out within two days.”
Mapel said angrily: "The child's arms and legs are like hemp stalks. She has no strength at all. She can't lift the lightest training equipment. The instructor said she has no talent as a hunter."
"But sister Neli is very smart, loves to read notes and has a good temperament! She can be a scholar." Hayata had to say this.
Hunters are a profession that attaches great importance to talent and physical fitness. As long as they can successfully graduate from the training camp, even the most ordinary trainee hunter's physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people.
It’s basically the difference between the big wild boar and the big wild boar king, one in a hundred.
“Don’t praise her so much. That child can barely be called a nerd. She is far from a scholar.
But she still had some perseverance. She later went to the Hunter Assembly Hall to apply for a job as a receptionist. She was about to become a regular employee recently. When she came back, she told us that there was a senior named Tiji who took good care of her. "
Mapelle said something rude, but it could be seen that she was quite satisfied with her daughter.
“Tikkimeow?!” Pig Chop screamed.
It has a bit of a stress disorder about the name.
“It seems that the assembly hall has been very busy recently.” Pine threw another piece of tea into his mouth, “Nellie’s kid hasn’t been back for dinner in more than a week.
There are transportation teams in and outside the city, and the original business plan of the Chamber of Commerce has also been suspended.
Do you dare to believe it? Even our stingy boss is willing to provide a batch of supplies for free and let us transport them out the day after tomorrow. It's not far, we can reach the fortress in two days. "
Hearing Pine mention this, Gordon's and others' expressions suddenly became serious.
"I'm going to ask you later, uncle, do you have any preparations?" Hayata asked.
"what to prepare?"
"You didn't get the news?" Hayata's face was full of disbelief. "Didn't Master Yamos tell you? Nellie didn't tell you either?"
“Well, I haven’t seen that guy Yamos for a long time, but Nellie came back and mentioned that there was some monster approaching, and suggested that the two of us leave Minagard and go to other cities to hide.
Is that all? "
"What do you mean 'that's it'?" Hayata raised his eyebrows, "Do you know what is coming now?!"
Pine didn't take it seriously at all.
“I don’t know, it’s some kind of powerful monster, right? But aren’t everyone working hard to strengthen the fortress? There are so many hunters coming over, so it’s no problem.”
