On February 2, at dusk, the main hall of the Amamiya Mansion.

"Their hunter license has been confirmed, and they are newcomers who have just graduated from the 287th hunter examination." The old man Asakawa held his hands behind his back.

"Newcomers...... Amamiya Mari thoughtfully, "However, their strength is above average, and their on-the-spot judgment is also good, unlike inexperienced hunters." ”

The old man was silent for a moment, "I think it should have something to do with their origins. ”

"Origin?" Amamiya asked.

"Meteor Street." Old man Asakawa took a deep breath.

Amamiya was stunned for two seconds, and his face became solemn, "Meteor Street...... No wonder, they are still young, but they have such terrifying strength. ”

Meteor Street ...... Anyone knows what this word means, and the Phantom Brigade, a famous group of thieves, was born in Meteor Street.

The old man Asakawa said slowly: "It is precisely because they were born in Meteor Street that there is no detailed information about them in the database of the Republic, and there is no way to know their previous experiences and relationships. ”

"I see." Amamiya Truth said.

"Young Master, do you think they can really be trusted?" The old man Asakawa asked.

Amamiya Mari recalled Chu Mo's eyes and laughed, "I think this kid is quite interesting, besides, we have no way out, Mr. Asakawa." ”

"Yes..... "Asakawa helped his reading glasses, "yes." ”

"Asakawa Runo, it's time for you to retire." Amamiya Mari took a sip of tea, "You have served the Amamiya family all your life, and because of this, Asakawa Ryuyu ran away from home, he doesn't want to live the same life as you, right?" ”

Runo Asakawa was silent, heavy wrinkles lining the corners of his eyes.

Due to the kindness of the ancestors of the Amamiya family to the Asakawa family, the Asakawa family has served the Amamiya family for hundreds of years.

Asakawa Runo also followed the dogma passed down from generation to generation, and served the Amamiya family diligently, serving two generations of family heads before and after.

And Asakawa Ryu, his son, it was precisely because he couldn't accept this kind of life as if he was in a cage that he turned his back on the family and stayed away from Hedu.

A few years later, when Asakawa Runo heard the name of Asakawa Ryuno again, it was from the wanted list published by the Hunters Association, and the suspected crime was to participate in the illegal operation of trafficking rare animals.

And, two weeks ago, Asakawa Ryu was arrested and is currently being held in the prison of the Hunters' Guild.

Even so, Asakawa Runo didn't have time to see this son who had been absent for many years.

After all, now the status of the Amamiya family has plummeted, showing a declining trend, not to mention the possibility of being destroyed.

No matter what, Asakawa Runo has to stay by Amamiya's side and witness the fate of the Amamiya family, in order to express his heartfelt self-esteem and live up to the precepts of his ancestors.

"I've really bothered you for so many years..... Amamiya Truth said in a calm tone, "I think that with my father's unbeatable arrogant character, if you hadn't stayed by his side all the time and patiently tutored him year after year, he would not have been able to have the achievements he has now, and the Amamiya family would not be among the four major families of the capital." ”

The light in his eyes under the lenses of Asakawa Runo flickered, and he rubbed the Tianming acupoint as if he couldn't stand it, and said with a wry smile:

"Young master, I've never heard a person say this about his father."

"Huh...... I'm just seeking truth from facts, but you, you're already this age, just go, and continuing to stay is a drag on me. Amamiya Mari put down the teacup and said slowly:

"I'm a member of the Amamiya family, no matter whether the Amamiya family survives or not, I will stay here until the last moment, and you deserve the freedom that you haven't gotten in the first half of your life."

"You're old, Mr. Asakawa, it's time to admit that you're far inferior to me in terms of vision and judgment, and that I alone can take on the responsibility of the family."

"Young Master......"

"And you, it's time to retire and take some time to reconcile with your son."

"That kid, but he said he wouldn't come back."

"I've known Asakawa Liulong since I was a child, and we often get into fights, how can I not understand his temperament." Amamiya Truth said:

"He just can't let go of his self-esteem, go see him, my father has a certain friendship with President Nitro, maybe Asakawa Ryu's sentence can be reduced."

"How can I thank you......." Runo Asakawa took off his glasses and rubbed his sour eyes, as if two cloudy tears flowed down.

tomato

"No thanks, but I'm ......" Amamiya Mari stood up, his voice low and warm, "I've really been taken care of by you for so long." ”

..............

..............

On February 2nd, the night was getting darker, and the rain palace mansion and dormitory.

The dark moonlight shone on the cherry blossoms on both sides of the dormitory, dyeing the pink petals into a cold dark blue, and I don't know if it was an illusion, the shadows around the dormitory twisted and surged, like a poisonous snake moving in the shadows.

Amamiya Truth, Chu Mo and Nephi Petus, Amamiya Rin, the four of them slept in an adjoining room, and Chu Mo and Niphi Peta shared a room, located in the middle of the bedroom of Amamiya Truth and Amamiya Rin.

With this arrangement, it is convenient to take care of any situation once it happens, and Chu Mo and Nephi Petor can arrive as quickly as possible.

"I say, Nephi Peto."

Chu Mo put his hands behind his head, and he glanced at Nephi Pito, who was sitting in the corner of the tatami mat, turning the pages of the book by the moonlight, and coughed.

"What's wrong?" Nephi Petor turned his face away.

Chu Mo played with a cluster of black flames on his fingertips and asked casually, "Are you happy to stay with me?" ”

“..... Very happy. ”

"That's good, that's good, I always feel like you've changed a lot."

"A lot?"

"Cold."

"I'm just ......," Nephi Petus was silent for a moment, "or I'll be too dependent on you." ”

"Hmm...... Depend? ”

Chu Mo looked at the lonely cherry blossoms outside the window, smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I'm relying on you, right, without you, I might live a very confused life." ”

"But, in my eyes..... "you have a purpose, you are good at what you do, and you can always think of ways you can't think of." ”

"Actually, I'm not as powerful as you think, killing, eating, and intriguing to survive, it's the first time I've done it, and I didn't have such experience before,"

"I'm really tired to die, where is it so easy......"

Chu Mo put his arm against his forehead and muttered something incoherently.

"Sometimes, I almost can't tell whether I am a dragon or a human, a child or an adult, and every day I am full of lies, or full of lies, full of lies......"

"Why do you have to fight against me one or two, why do I have to uphold some principles even if I am oppressed, and ......what are those principles for?"

"It's good to eat them all, it's good to kill all the people you can't get used to, and it's good to be a dragon without humanity, so it's a lot easier."

"But every time I think of you, I remind myself that I can't let myself go, I can't become like Godzilla, a monster that everyone shouts about."

"That's right..... You don't know what Godzilla is," Chu Mo scratched his cheek self-deprecatingly, "Actually, I don't know what I'm talking about, do you think I'm a mess." ”

Quiescence.

There was some sad silence, not even the sound of the pages turning, like a one's pantomime.

Chu Mo slowly opened his eyes, and his Tong hole shrank slightly.

Nephi Pido's snow-white hair fluttered with the swaying moonlight, and she was like a cautious cat, unconsciously approaching Chu Mo, but she didn't make a sound.

Her clear twin children are exceptionally transparent in the moonlight, like a spring under the moon.

"It doesn't matter if it's a dragon, it's okay if it's a big monster, it's okay if it's a child, it's okay to be full of lies...."Nephi Petus whispered, "You are you, your important person to me." ”

"Me too....." Chu Mo said dumbfoundedly, his voice a little choked, "So, you must live, count me begging you...... I don't want to be a person. ”

"I promise you....." Nephi Piduo gently put his arm around Chu Mo's shoulders and said coldly, "along the way, we will never abandon each other, we will not betray each other until the end of the snowy road." ”

"What is this, what an abrupt feeling." Chu Mo chuckled.

“..... Lines from the book. ”

"Is that so?"

"I love ...... book," Nyphi Petor tilted her head, her pale cheeks flushed a little, and she put her hand on her chin. ”

Chu Mo was stunned for a moment, and smiled softly.

"I like it too."
