"Uncle Ben has never been afraid of anyone, and today he actually overturned in front of your kid, special mother, what did you kid eat to grow up, and in another ten years, you can't fly to the sky?"

Because his palm was too wide to fit through the grip of the wine glass, Ted, who had to grab the wine glass and pour wine into his mouth, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and cursed.

The giant man named Ted was a four-star hunter and an acquaintance of Osura.

On the day they returned to Minagard, they happened to bump into each other at the counter section of the assembly hall, and Oshura introduced Gordon to Ted and his friends.

Ted is a member of a fixed hunting squad, and this squad is a bit special - the three members, including Ted, are actually a family.

In addition to Ted, who is a spearman, there is also his sister, Markosin, who uses the hunting flute, and their father, Miles, the light crossbowman.

Today, Gordon was idle, so he shared a table with them, drank and chatted.

Markoshin was a tall huntress who was over one hundred and eighty centimeters tall, not inferior to most men.

Gordon had an impression of the huntress, who was the first to make fun of him when he caught him drinking, and the two seemed to be good friends.

Miles, on the other hand, was a gray-haired old hunter, estimated to be nearly sixty years old, the oldest of all the (active) hunters Gordon knew.

Extremely experienced in hunting, a six-star light crossbowman, and also served as an instructor in the hunter training camp, Oshura seems to have received his guidance back then, and Amos must respectfully call him "senior" when he comes.

I heard that this old man used to be a heavy crossbowman, but he was old and his physical strength had declined, so he replaced it with a lighter light crossbow.

is currently in a semi-retired state, and has not taken over the task for many years, but because he can't rest assured that he has a pair of children with a strong personality, he has not retired for the elderly.

Regarding Gordon's wrist wrestling to win Ted, the happiest person is actually Ted's sister Markoshin, or more accurately, schadenfreude.

Let you brag all day long about your unrivaled wrist strength?

A few people chatted, and naturally talked about Gordon's previous mission to hunt the Peach Fur Beastmaster.

"Oh? Little brother Gordon, you said that Oshura finally got the green hair of the peach-haired beastmaster? Markosin looked surprised, and there was even a hint of regret in her tone.

The fact that someone spent half a year hunting the seven-headed Peach Beastmaster is about to become a stalk at the Minagal Hunters' Lodge.

"It's gone, and there's no good topic to tease Oshura in the future, but it's a pity that ......" Markosin cupped her cheeks and said something inappropriate.

Gordon: "......"

"The so-called luck is just some illusory things, as long as you work hard in the right direction, there will always be gains." Old man Miles, who didn't talk much, spoke in a light tone.

As he spoke, he also picked up the cup and took a sip, but the cup was not filled with ale wine, but hot barley tea, and with a sip of hot air, the old man continued: "That kid, this time I finally didn't lock my head with a flame bomb?" ”

Gordon: "......"

Dare to love this old-timer who has already seen through everything?

Noticing Gordon's surprised expression, Miles glanced at him, "It seems that you still found out, that Ozura's kid is very talented, but he is too impetuous, and he doesn't like to use his brain."

Blaming everything on luck is the stupidest thinking, I wanted to take this opportunity to sharpen her temperament more, forget it, with this half a year of precipitation, she can become more or less calm, and the future road will be smoother. ”

Gordon shrunk his neck, knowing that Miles didn't blame him, but he still had a sense of fear.

"What? Wasn't it because of luck? Ted, who had come back from running for a bigger glass, touched his bald head, and the surprise on his face was no less than that of Gordon.

It was the same with Marcosine, and it was clear that she wasn't thinking that way either.

Gordon noticed that Miles's expression momentarily became constipated.

Miles did have a headache.

The eldest son is a reckless man who only knows how to rush forward, but fortunately, as a gunner, there is no big problem in doing so, and the daughter seems to be a little black-bellied and likes to play tricks on people, but in fact, there are no more eyes than her brother.

When will I grow up......

Gordon took a sip of wine, his eyes shuttled over the three people with different expressions for a while, and suddenly said, "Old man, do you want to absorb Oshura into your team and take your place?" ”

Miles turned his gaze to Gordon, "Huh? Why do you feel so? ”

"Since you know that Oshura likes to lock the head of the Peach Fur Beastmaster with a flaming bullet, you must have hunted the Peach Beastmaster with her, and more than once, right?"

"Well, the first two peach-haired beast kings were hunted by the four of us."

"Since you are a fixed team and you yourself are a light crossbowman, it is very likely that you have cooperated with Osura, who is also a light crossbowman, many times, for the purpose of assessment.

Of course, there are other possibilities, so I asked to confirm. ”

Miles listened to Gordon's words, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of appreciation.

Gordon's analysis is not a complicated matter, but it at least proves that this is a thinking child.

It's much better than these two things......

"That's right, I'm getting older, so I'm looking for a companion who can take my place as a shooter."

Gordon put down his glass, pondered his words, and continued, "You should have sent her an invitation, but she was declined?" ”

Miles tapped his jaw, there was nothing to analyze, since Oshura was not part of their team at this time, the answer to the question was obvious.

"She refused decisively? Even a little resistant? ”

"Yes, she said she wouldn't be thinking about that for the time being."

“....... Have you ever wondered why Oshura would refuse your invitation? ”

"Huh?" Miles turned his gaze to Gordon again.

Of course, he has considered this, personality discord, lack of tacit understanding, overlapping members, and not being used to teaming, these are all possible.

But no matter what the reason, this kind of thing can't be forced, so when he mentioned it once and was rejected, he didn't continue to dwell on it.

"Well, I'm just suggesting a possibility, which might be overlooked from your perspective and age." Gordon scratched the tip of his nose and said.

"It's okay, you can say it, just talk." Miles' tone was casual, but there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Ted and Markoshin also looked over with great interest, wanting to hear what Gordon would have to say.

"You see, your squad is a family squad famous in the assembly, right, a family formed a team, and no outsiders have ever joined, which should be quite rare."

“.......”

Miles' face changed slightly, as if he realized something, while the Tedmakosin siblings remained dazed.

"You invited Oshura to join the family team, maybe she over-interpreted it as you invited her to be a family, as for the way to become a family, uh, daughter-in-law or something?"

Ted: "? ”

Marcosine: "! ”

Miles: "......"
