The tavern was lively, and several mercenaries at the next table were loudly punching their fists, but even so, Izumi didn't miss an ear.

The people at the table were silent, and no one expected Carter to say this, but it seemed to be expected.

"This can be had!" Arthur was the first to react, he smiled and said to Izumi: "Don't look at Uncle Cat like this, in fact, he has always liked children, such as Benny and Roger, who were also taken care of by him when they were young." ”

Saying that it is taking care of is actually an adoption in disguise, but it is not particularly necessary to go through the formalities.

The Benny brothers' mother died when Roger was five years old, and their father was Carter's good brother and a mercenary partner who was born and died together, and later their father died in a mission, and the Benny brothers were taken home by Carter without any care.

It is very difficult for an adult man to take care of two small children, and perhaps because of this, Carter looks much older than he really is.

Carter cautiously told Sù Quan: "It's a bit abrupt, but this is the most suitable method I can think of so far, so I hope you can think about it." ”

Carter didn't want to adopt him because of Quan's specialness, maybe there would be some of them, but more importantly, after getting along during this time, he also liked this very old and sensible child who was very young next year, but he looked like Xiàn, and he kept thinking in his heart that if his child could live, would he be so cute and well-behaved.

Once, Carter also had a child of his own, but the child who had not yet been born died in childbirth with his mother, Carter's only impression of him was that the small body was curled up in his arms, and the brown fetal hair on his head was still sticking to the amniotic fluid, but he never had the opportunity to open his eyes to see the world.

So he fell in love with Izumi, who also had brown hair, and couldn't help but want to care for him, get close to him, and take care of him.

Adoption, this is not an unfamiliar word to Izumi.

Once upon a time, when he was really young, he went from this world to another world for unknown reasons, and it was his father, who was over sixty years old at the time, who took him in, although he was called father and son, but in fact, because of the age gap, they were more like grandchildren, and his father's age was old, and many times it was the elves around him who were taking care of themselves, but Izumi did not forget his father's kindness to him for a day.

The elf trainer journey that started at the age of ten,Izumi actually didn't want to leave home.,Although I thought about finding my relatives.,But the old dad made Izumi worry even more.,But the dad insisted.,He himself went out at that age.,Naturally, I also like Izumi to go out and see.,I hope to become a person in charge when he's still alive.,So although both parties are very reluctant.,But Izumi still took Shanaiduo out of the house and started the journey.。

After five years of wandering, Quan has walked through a lot of places, father and son get together less and leave more, but the relationship has never decreased, when he learned that his father's health is getting worse and worse, he decisively gave up the trip and returned home, accompanied his father to the last road, and never left Raven City again, until he was twenty-one years old and suddenly disappeared from that world, and when he came here, his body also shrank.

originally thought that there would only be elves to accompany him in the future, but now that someone says that they want to adopt him, he is so familiar that he wants to cry.

Izumi's eyes turned red all at once, and his amber eyes seemed to have been washed with water, making them clearer and clearer.

Carter panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly tried to comfort him, "If you don't agree, we shouldn't have said this, don't cry, let's just think of a way." "It's just that in my heart, I can't help but feel low and disappointed.

"No, I didn't disagree." Izumi wiped away the tears that came out of his eyes, he never hesitated to reciprocate the kindness of others, "I was also adopted by my father before, so when I heard you say that, uncle, I miss my father a little." ”

The red-eyed boy laughed, and the sadness and nostalgia were sandwiched in it, overflowing with words, making this smile not sweet or innocent, but it made people feel a deep pity in their hearts.

Maybe it's because of the same disease, everyone at this table, except for Arthur, has no parents and relatives, and seeing him like this, I can't help but think of my deceased relatives.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little heavy.

Shanaiduo, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but hug Izumi, and the elf who also missed the old master flashed sadness in his eyes under the cloak, even though time passed, the sadness of the death of his relatives was not erased, but was only deeply hidden in his heart.

Others also wanted to hug the spring, but they had no choice but to take the lead, and no one dared to rob people with the demonic beasts that exuded a bad mood.

Fortunately, Izumi is not really a child, although he lost his temper for a while, he still quickly reined in his feelings.

Carter's attention has been on him, and when he saw that his feelings were stable, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't forget what Jì Quan said before: "Xiaoquan, what you just said is true, you didn't disagree, didn't you just agree?" ”

Izumi nodded embarrassedly, "As long as Uncle Carter doesn't bother." ”

"Of course it's not a hassle!!" Carter's voice was so high that he didn't care even if it caught the attention of the other guests, but the table was excited—he actually wanted to slap Izumi, but he thought that Izumi's small body couldn't stand his strength at all, so he slapped the table instead, "I'm too late to be happy to have a child like you." ”

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to call your father for the time being."

"It's okay, you can just call me uncle as before." Carter didn't care what Izumi called him, "We'll leave here tomorrow and go home and get the paperwork done." ”

This is for one's own good, and the spring naturally has no meaning.

Solving a big trouble, it is a great thing, everyone naturally wants to celebrate, everyone has a glass to congratulate them, Carter is very excited at this time, naturally the person who comes, cup after cup to dry, not long after a little drunk.

"My uncle is really happy." Arthur, who could only drink juice, whispered to Izumi, "It's been a long time since I've seen him so happy." ”

"I'm also happy to have another family." Izumi really thinks he's lucky to meet good people wherever he goes, his dad is, and so is Uncle Carter and the adventure team.

"Not one." Arthur shook his finger and smiled: "You are Uncle Cater's child, naturally you will also be my younger brother, and Roger and Benny, they will also be your brother, so you have four relatives at once, plus my parents, so you have made a lot of money now." ”

The more Arthur talked, the happier he became, he was the only son in the family, and the Benny brothers, who were of the same generation, were older than him, so he always wanted a younger brother or sister than himself, but unfortunately his parents did not plan to have another child at all, saying that it would be very difficult to raise him alone.

Now that he has a spring, he is happiest except for Carter.

"yes, it's really profitable." Izumi smiled too.

The two newly baked brothers whispered to each other for a long time, and before they knew it, their stomachs were full, while the remaining adults were still drinking, and the meal in front of them basically hadn't been touched much.

"Really, can you drink to get full?" Arthur sighed softly, and then shouted at the adults, "Why haven't you finished drinking, we haven't decided where we want to stay tonight, and if we don't look for a place to stay, Izumi will soon fall asleep." ”

The adults who were a little carried away looked down, and sure enough, Izumi, who was used to going to bed early and getting up early, was already tired, and was secretly napping by Shanaiduo.

Look at the time, and sure enough, it's late. Carter hurriedly put down his wine glass, ate the food in the clean bowl in three or two, and ran to check out.

"Eh, Uncle Cat seems to have forgotten that I have a treat today."

"You'll be invited next time, Uncle Carter is happy now, and if you go to pay the bill, I guess he won't be happy."

As if this was indeed the case, Arthur let go of the treats first.

It didn't take long for Carter to come back again, his face was red from drinking, but he still walked steadily, indicating that he was not drunk.

"Alright, let's go find a place to stay." Carter reached out and picked up the somewhat tired Izumi.

This time Shanaido did not stop him, it knew that this person could be trusted, and they would be a family.

But Izumi struggled embarrassedly, he hadn't been carried away by an adult like this since he was eight years old, "Uncle Carter, I can go by myself." ”

Carter smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, uncle has a lot of strength, it's easy to hug you, Xiaoquan, if you're sleepy, go to sleep first." ”

Izumi was pressed on his shoulder, and beside him was the adventuring team that looked at them with a smile on his face, and he was really embarrassed, where was there any sleep.

However, Carter's generous and warm embrace still warmed his heart.
