Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 10 Assembly Hall
The morning sun shone on his face. Lin Lin's eyelashes trembled slightly. He looked around blankly and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"I really live in Jieyun Village..."

With a splash, Lin Lin stood up, and crystal clear water droplets rolled down the lines of his body, reflecting colorful light.

After moving his limbs a little, Lin Lin was surprised to find that although he had been soaking in the hot spring water all night, he did not feel any discomfort at the moment. Instead, he felt energetic and full of strength. Even the rough skin worn out in the wild seemed to have become a little more flexible.

The hot springs in Jieyun are really magical...

There is a plate of hot spring eggs on the stone platform next to it. It feels warm to the touch, salty, tender and smooth when eaten, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.

Feeling warm in his stomach, Lin Lin sighed comfortably, then changed his clothes and walked out of the room.

Yukihira and Kaoru were no longer in the house. Only Iwata Hiroichi was packing up his things in the living room, and he seemed to be getting ready to go out.

Seeing Lin Lin coming out, Iwata Hirokazu greeted him, "How are you? Are you used to living here?"

Lin Lin gave a thumbs up, pointed at the other person's package, and tilted his head.

"This..."

Iwata thought for a moment and secretly showed Lin Lin the contents of the package, which contained some bottles and jars.

There were so many miscellaneous things that it was hard to tell what they were.

"Uncle Kevin said I can't be a hunter, but I don't agree. I want to prove myself!"

"It's just right that you're here. My family's farm doesn't need my help anymore. I can finally show my skills without any worries!"

Lin Lin widened his eyes and quickly waved his hands to try to stop it.

How are you going to prove yourself? You're not going to just run off into the wild and fight monsters!
I was running around in the wild without any weapons or protection, I had no choice. You are being too irresponsible to your own life by doing this!

"Shh!"

Iwata looked around and saw that his parents didn't notice his little action, so he winked at Lin Lin.

"What are you thinking about? I won't be so reckless as to go out into the wild. I plan to sign up for training at the Hunter Training Institute, and then I'll officially become a hunter after passing the assessment!"

"Remember to cover for me when I'm not around, don't let my parents find out!"

After leaving these last words, Iwata slipped out of the crack of the door and disappeared in a flash.

Lin Lin stretched out his hand, grabbed at the air, and then dropped it helplessly.

I haven’t learned a few words yet, how can I cover up?
Shaking his head, Lin Lin walked out of the house and walked less than a hundred meters along the cobblestone path. After passing through the bamboo forest, a farm nestled in the mountains and beside the water came into view.

It's called a farm, but it's not really accurate, because in addition to large tracts of land planted with crops, there are also rotten wood for growing various mushrooms, triangular insect cages for trapping insects, neatly arranged beehives, mines deep into the mountains, and even a pier that extends into the river for laying fishing nets.

"Meow! Are you the new Qilin Meow?"

Just as Lin Lin was looking around curiously, a beige Felynx came out from the field. Seeing Lin Lin from afar, it trotted up to him, bowed first, and then spoke.

Lin Lin had given up on correcting the name and nodded helplessly.

"I'm Elu, hired by Master Yukihira to be the farm steward here, meow! Please take care of me, meow!"

Lin Lin recalled the other party's pronunciation and responded awkwardly: "Please hide."

"What a weird accent, meow..." Butler Elu complained in a low voice, and Lin Lin closed his mouth in embarrassment.

"Ahem, let's get to the point, meow! Master Yukihira has already told me about your stay, meow! Actually, there aren't many things on the farm that require your help. There are dedicated Felyne cats in charge of various facilities, meow!"

"To be honest, your job is to help fill in the gaps, meow. Sometimes, Elu, who's in charge, is too busy and may need your help, meow~"

"Next, let me introduce the specific details of the farm..."

……

The whole morning was spent quietly getting familiar with the farm. After lunch, Lin Lin was freed from the work that was not heavy and could even be considered leisurely. He walked along the stone steps into the meeting hall of Jieyun Village.

Of course, the hunters in Jieyun Village prefer to call the Jieyun Bathing Beach. The reason is simple: compared to the tavern style common in other local gathering places, the aroma of barbecue and beer mixed with the noise of hunters chatting and chatting, the Jieyun Clubhouse built on high-quality hot springs appears particularly elegant and leisurely.

Lifting the curtain at the door and walking into the red building, Lin Lin first glanced at the large expanse of warm spring water separated by the curtain on the right. Through the gaps in the curtain, he could vaguely see the mountains and valleys in the distance.

Wow, soaking in the open-air hot springs and enjoying the beautiful scenery, Jieyun Village is indeed a resort, it really knows how to enjoy.

To the left is a redwood corridor. According to Kevin, this should lead to the cabin provided by the gathering place for hunters.

I don’t know if there are not many hunters in Jieyun Village, or if the hunters staying in the gathering hall prefer to go to the hot springs, but the task counter seems quite deserted now.

Under the two big red lanterns, a little old man was sitting cross-legged at the counter, pouring wine from a gourd without caring that the wine wet his white beard.

Next to him, a poster girl in pink was holding her chin with one hand, and poking the huge cat tumbler behind her with the other hand out of boredom. Next to the pink poster girl, a poster girl in blue was kneeling quietly in the same place, but if you look closely at her eyes, you will find that she is actually also daydreaming.

(As shown in the picture, this flower is on the left and Sasayuki is on the right)
Lin Lin's entry didn't make a loud noise, but it immediately brought the blue-dressed poster girl back to her senses. She quickly pulled the sleeve of the girl next to her and reminded her in a low voice.

"This flower, someone is coming."

"I know, Sasayuki~"

This flower secretly stuck out her tongue, then leaned forward and stretched out her arms,

Greeting enthusiastically:

"Hello, how can I help you?"

Hmm, such a passionate poster girl, you're not like this in the game...

Lin Lin complained in his heart and subconsciously said, "I'm here to find someone..."

As soon as he said this, he closed his mouth helplessly and began to search his mind for the words he had memorized from Butler Elu Cat in the morning, trying to piece them together into a complete sentence.

But this flower was slightly stunned, and then quickly reacted, "Are you here to see Mr. Kevin?"

what?
Lin Lin’s eyes widened. Could you guess this?
Cihua chuckled, "I heard yesterday that Kevin brought back a young man who doesn't speak the common language. Could that be you?"

"I'll take you to see Mr. Kevin!"

Cihua trotted out from behind the counter, leading Lin Lin while looking at this rather mysterious young man curiously.

Huh? You know what, he's pretty handsome!
Sasuke shook his head helplessly. This girl really can't sit still. How nice it would be to just do some quiet fishing...

　Naming characters is such a hassle. Luckily, Capcom has already given names to the two poster girls, otherwise I would have to struggle for a long time (yes, I'm talking about the Iwata family)
