For Marin, the first harvest festival in this world was a bit memorable.

It feels like too many things have happened in this week, and for Marin, what is the story behind these things is really fascinating.

Of course, it's one thing to attract people, but whether it will lead to death is another.

As the harvest festival ended, the weather began to get colder, and Fort Carter soon became Marlin's familiar appearance—damp and cold, and as the days passed, the Assassin disappeared without a trace, and Marin finally chose to return to the landlady's house.

After cleaning the house, Marin specially held a small banquet and invited the girls to have a snack.

Marin, who lived alone in his previous life, has some experience in cooking, and he also thinks he understands the tastes of girls - Maya likes sea fish and meat, and the taste is on the heavy side, Marlin prepared barbecue and grilled fish for her, both of which are grilled with her favorite seafood sauce; Faye is an elven half-blood, and she likes soup the most, and the taste is light, and Marlin specially prepared for her the gray polka mushrooms from the north of Fort Carter, the puree made from the breast of the Fabunam bird (similar to the chicken creature of the earth) and the tofu ground by Marin's own hands, and the mushroom tofu meatballs made with these three main ingredients should satisfy her.

Lilim the lamb is vegetarian and does not eat meat, but can eat fish, so Marlin uses the soup stock of the crab as the base, and combines mushrooms, diced ham, thick clams, chopped shrimp, diced radish, cream, onions and other things to make seafood and corn soup...... Well, because the amount of fried flour is a little more, this soup looks a little thick, but there is absolutely no problem with the taste.

Jessica is not happy with meat, she is very easy to deal with, after all, Marlin was also a meatless player, the hind hooves and elbows of the saro beast, take the essence of the meat and then braise it, as for all kinds of spices, the Chamber of Commerce of the Southern Thai people have it, but generally only the Southern Thai people will use it, and when Marin went to buy it, they were very curious to watch.

In any case, Marin felt that this bowl of meat would definitely suit the wolf girl's taste.

Finally, there is Cross, the peak state of the vegan eater, which gives Marin a great headache - this girl can neither eat meat nor fish, not that she can't eat, but she vomits when she eats.

The only thing she could eat was eggs, so Marlin made the girl a bowl of custard and added a dessert.

It took Marin half a day, one of them and a half to confront Maya, who wanted to steal food, and finally Marin bought the girl with a dessert, so as not to wait until her sisters came and found that there was no food on the table.

The first one to come was Faye, she went to pick up Cross, speaking of Cross's adoptive father is a very interesting guy, after knowing the relationship between Cross and Marin, this guy killed the church as soon as possible, but the door opened a little big, so the church's early warning circle was triggered, and the circle directly docked the portal in the courtyard of his house with the void, and the old gentleman stepped over and almost lost people.

So there was no way, he came to Marin in a carriage, and then found out that the boyfriend in his daughter's mouth, he was a bastard who was not as good as a vile and shameless dirty beast in his eyes...... He couldn't beat it.

The old man had confirmed Marin's marksmanship with his own eyes, and in his eyes, as long as this kid had a gun in his hand, he was afraid that he could be destroyed with a single shot.

So the previous bastard suddenly became a good boy who knew the book and the Yushu in the wind.

As soon as they entered the door, Faye and Cross's eyes lit up, and the two girls took the freshly squeezed apple juice handed by Marin, and Faye took a sip: "Yes, by the way, are you really making these dishes?" ”

"Of course, next time I have the chance, I'll show you a hand." Marin said with a smile.

Then there was the little lamb, the shortest of the girls, but also the best of the bouncing, and as soon as she entered the door, she flew and took off and fell into Marlin's arms, and then she flickered: "No, Marlin, you seem to have grown taller." ”

"Well, Old Ferrero said that after my frost giant bloodline awakens, it will begin to grow taller." Speaking of which, Marin was really afraid that he would always be shorter, and the old Ferrero said that Marin's one-meter-two height was the reason for his blood, and he would maintain it as if his appearance would not get old. Now that the Frost Giant's bloodline has awakened, Old Ferrero said that Marin will grow taller, at least one meter seven - this is still the relationship between Marin's paternal bloodline, otherwise the Frost Giant's bloodline will make Marin grow to at least two meters or more.

Of course, Marlin is very happy about this, after all, people are small, and many things will become very troublesome - for example, before going out with Jessica to buy a soy sauce, of course, the store manager of the southern Thai people can't ask Marin if this wolf girl is your mother, but you can also ask if your mother is at ease when you come out to buy things at such a young age...... It took a lot of concentration for Marin to stop the surging killing intent in his heart.

"That's great, Marin will be able to hold me when he grows taller in the future." Lilim was very happy when she heard this, and then she turned her head to look at the dishes on the table: "It's very fragrant, Mr. Marin is really good." ”

"Of course, your Mr. Marlin is the most at stake." For this kind of touting from the little lamb and self-touting from himself, Marin is naturally familiar with it.

Finally, Jessica, the wolf girl wearing a trench coat and trousers, and small leather boots today, entered the room, she took off her scarf, lowered her body and kissed Marin's forehead, and then frowned: "Marin, don't you have a foot?" ”

"Mr. Marlin has grown taller." Lilim, who was drinking apple juice, immediately responded.

Jessica smiled when she heard this, "That's great, that stupid father of mine before was still thinking about what if Marin couldn't grow taller." ”

"If Mr. Marin grows taller, he will be very handsome." Cross was eating a snack, Wen Yan added.

"Brother is always the best." Maya added proudly.

"Wouldn't it be nice not to be able to grow taller?" Faye spoke suddenly.

Marin had a question mark on his face, no, you stupid girl, why are you happy if I don't grow taller.

The girls seemed to have found something interesting and began to whisper.

But the little alarm in the kitchen went off, and Marlin went over and opened the lid of the oven and brought out his freshly baked pizza - the girls said it was delicious, and Marlin naturally liked it.

"It's time to eat!" Looking at the girls gathered around, Marin shouted.

So the girls sat together, and out of awe of Marin's cooking, Faye carefully took a meatball with a spoon, and before he could take a bite, he saw that Maya beside him had already taken a large piece of steak with a fork and took a bite into his mouth.

"Yes...... Is it that delicious? Curious, Jessica's face filled with curiosity, and she pinned a piece of elbow meat with her fork into her mouth...... Then he gobbled it down.

Lilim looked at the battle on the table, and quietly handed the spoon to the custard in front of Cross, and then met the spoon handed by Bunny Girl to the soup on the way.

Then the situation got out of hand, and Marin watched the girls sweep everything without any ladylike demeanor, and Cross even ate a piece of elbow meat...... Don't you know how to eat meat?

With such doubts, Marin took a piece of pizza and looked at the lively appearance on the table, a little happy and a little satisfied The reborn person said to himself - Happy New Year.

………………

After eating, Jessica and Maya washed the dishes, and Marin and Faye began to discuss the recent situation - the previous Assassin had not been able to catch him, but the Assassin had not moved again since then, and Boone and Duck had simply left Fort Carter if the thief could not let the thief worry about him.

With Faye's parents also recently gone, Faye is once again the de facto owner of the garden – this time, she has taken over the keys to the garden from her father, which means that she is the owner of the building.

According to Faye, the assassin was really strange, my mother had been in a relationship with my mother and had not been able to catch him, and the Dark Guild had no bounty on my two hapless brothers.

Moreover, as the daughter of her father and mother, she was not targeted by the Assassins during this time, as if the Assassins were coming for her two brothers.

"That's what I thought before, Faye, that assassin didn't come to get revenge on me, and he didn't choose to assassinate you, combined with the previous murders at Fort Carter, I suspect that this assassin seems to be targeting some targets, as for why your brother was targeted, that's not something I can know." To be honest, Marin also made a bold decision after many analyses to link this assassination with previous murders: "His target seems to be the family that still exists in Fort Carter's Chinese New Year's Eve, and I don't have a clue why your family is among them." ”

"I'm the same, according to your analysis, which I think is the most reliable analysis so far, from the assassination of Madame Michel at the beginning to the assassination of my brother at the end...... None of them offered a bounty for what he was doing this for, and if my brothers were enemies who wanted to take their heads, how could these nobles be chosen, it could not be used as bait to lead us to think in the wrong direction. ”

"I don't think it's possible." Marin disagreed with Faye's idea: "The assassin should be the same person, if he wants to find some bait, why not find some easy targets to assassinate, if the dead are from all walks of life, then it should be easier to guide us." ”

At this point, Faye sighed: "How nice it would be if I were Sherlock Holmes, Marin, you don't know how depressed the family has been lately. ”

"I know, thank you for your hard work." Of course, Marin knew that his brother was injured by the assassin, and the whole family was in a tense atmosphere, and if it was Marin, Marin was not sure if he would be crazy.

But in any case, this matter is finally over.

"Don't worry, we're not detectives, but you and I will still pursue this event until it gets to light...... I swear. With that, Marin let Faye lean into his arms: "Marin, thank you. ”

"We said we would support each other, don't say thank you." After Marin finished speaking, he noticed that someone was knocking on the door, and Lilim ran over, opened the crack in the door, and took a letter from inside: "Gayat, Marin, it seems to be your father." ”

"Ah, yes, it's my father." After taking the letter, Lilim went to the kitchen to replace Maya, and the little leopard girl ran over, wiped her hands clean, and sat down in Marin's arms - this was a happy time for Maya, and every time her father wrote a letter, she would sit in Marin's arms and listen to Marin read the letter.

"Marin boy, father, I've been okay lately."

"Mr. Gayat has a good sense of humor." Faye saw the contents of the letter and said with a smile.

"Recently, I was in the Northern Defense Line, while working to earn travel expenses, while inquiring about the news, you said last time that you can already earn money on your own, so this time I won't send you and your sister living expenses, but if you come back, if you find that you have starved Maya and lost weight, I will peel your skin." At this point, Marin noticed that Faye's hand reached Maya's waist, "There's fat, Maya." ”

The little leopard girl screamed in shame, much to Faye's delight.

"Alright, let me continue." Marin resisted the thought of pinching himself and began to continue reading the letter.

"Marlin boy, you wrote to me before, saying that there is something wrong with Carterburg, here I warn you, don't get yourself involved in it no matter what, your strength is not enough to protect you and Maya, if I come back and find that Maya has three longs and two shorts, you better be able to bless yourself to escape from my pursuit."

"Dad is worried, Maya obviously has nothing to do." Maya wrapped her hands around her waist to protect her waist, and said with some confusion.

"Dad is warning me not to die." Marin sighed at this: "Seriously, Faye, this matter is still too dangerous for us to come. ”

"I know, Marin, so I haven't forced it, after all, that assassin can travel through the shadows, he must be a very dangerous assassin, we face him head-on, there is only one way to die, I know this." Faye leaned against Marin: "When we grow up and become more profitable, we will make plans." ”

Marin nodded, then continued to read the letter.

"By the way, I heard you say that your frost giant bloodline has awakened, so I brought you a little souvenir for this kid, it will definitely be your favorite good thing, because it is a big guy, it should be a day or two late, don't forget to sign for it then."

The gift made Marin happy - even though the old thing wasn't home all year, at least he did his duty as a father.

However, considering that he said before that he would earn travel expenses, this made Marin very worried about his life.

It would have been better if he had played less of that kun card, and not drink in bars during the day, and not go out in the middle of the night every day to exorcise demons.

It's a pity that no one wants to let a witcher live a regular life from 9 to 5 in the morning, as for controlling the desire to play cards...... That's even more unlikely.
