Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 139: An Interracial Love

The battle on Brave's side ended so quickly that Lin Lin had just freed up his hands and had no time to rush over to help.

So he had no choice but to take out the whetstone and start grinding the shield axe that was covered with broken bones and flesh on the spot.

It was at this time that he was able to spare the energy to see who the girl they rescued was.

The style of the clothes she was wearing was very familiar. It must be the novice hunting equipment of Yanhuo Village. Because of a certain appearance equipment DLC, he had a deep memory of this set of clothes - so this girl was unsurprisingly a novice hunter of Yanhuo Village?

Looking more closely, she has long black hair, fair skin, and eyes as bright red as rubies. At first glance, she looks a bit like Tifa in Final Fantasy, with pointed ears. Is she still a dragon girl?
"Ah, seniors, thank you for your help, otherwise I would have died before I could even accomplish my mission..."

The girl from Yanhuo Village put the insect stick back on her back, reached out and rubbed the rhinoceros beetle lying quietly on her left arm, and trotted to Lin Lin. She first bowed deeply, and then while saying words of thanks, she secretly raised her eyes to observe Lin Lin.

Lin Lin noticed her look, waved his hand politely, and pulled down his mask.

"We are all human beings. If we see someone in danger, we should help if we can."

"My name is Lin Lin, the one playing with the katana is called Braif, the Felyne over there is called Coconut Date, and the Yellow Dragon is called Tiaotiao. They are all my hunting partners. This time we were going to Yanhuo Village. When we passed by here, we heard some noise and came to take a look."

Huh? He's unexpectedly young and handsome?
He was so good at fighting, I thought he was an uncle like Teacher Ni Tai!
The girl blinked, and only came to her senses when Lin Lin waved his hand in front of her eyes. She realized belatedly that it would be rude for her not to respond after the other person introduced himself.

"My name is Ye Zi, Ye for night and Zi for noon. I live in Yanhuo Village."

Lin Lin nodded while sharpening his weapon, and was still thinking about what he could make with the materials of the umbrella bird and the colorful bird. It was only after two or three seconds that he exclaimed, "Ah?"

"You just said, what's your name?"

Miss Yezi was confused. "Yezi, what's wrong? Is this name weird?"

Lin Lin's mouth twitched. Fortunately, it was just Ye Zi. If you add the prefix of Bailong, I always feel that the next moment you will become abstract.

Speaking of which, Ye Zi, a novice hunter from Yanhuo Village, is only about a year away from the last Hundred Dragons Night Parade, which was fifty years old...

Could this girl be Lieyan?

Wait, that’s not right. Lieyan is a human, not a dragonman. The girl in front of him is a dragonman.

Lin Lin shook his head and quickly rejected his previous guess.

"Senior Lin Lin?"

When he came to his senses, it was Ye Zi who stretched out her hand in front of him and waved it, as if the scene just now was reversed.

"Ahem, it's okay, it's okay..."

Lin Lin was just about to turn the topic back to hunting when his eyes swept over Ye Zi's little hand which had not yet been retracted.

One, two, three, four, five...

Ok?
Count again, still five?
Lin Lin blinked and his gaze quickly turned to Ye Zi's ears. That's right, they are pointed, right?
Looking at the hand again, there are still five fingers.

Lin Lin:?
Is this some new species of dragonman?
Perhaps it was because Lin Lin observed repeatedly and his expression of doubt about life was too obvious, Ye Zi immediately saw what confused him. She said nothing, but just reached out and pulled at her ears.

"They're just dragon-man earrings. Sister Huoya gave them to me—oh, Sister Huoya is the village's image-maker, and she also works as a shrine maiden!" Lin Lin: ...

彳庍口巴.

You guys in Yanhuo Village have so many tricks up your sleeve.

Wait, "Sister Huoya"? They sound so close, and they're human, so could this really be the ailing Great Western King Lieyan?
It’s a pity that guesses are just guesses after all. There is no other information to support them for the time being, and there is no point in thinking about it.

Lin Lin stopped dwelling on these things and was about to speak when Brave, who had already polished his weapon, came over with a smile on his face, obviously in a very good mood.

"Miss, can you tell me how you found this colorful bird? We came all the way from Feiye Fortress, but we didn't see any trace of it."

"Her name is Yezi."

Lin Lin reminded.

Brave coughed dryly, changed his address, and asked again.

Miss Yezi sighed softly, "I followed the umbrella bird here."

She turned to look at Lin Lin again and explained the cause and effect of her experience:

"I had just started fighting with that guy, but then the Umbrellabird seemed to hear something and suddenly flew over here without looking back. I chased after it."

"When I saw these two giant monsters together, I thought they would start fighting, and I would have a chance to take advantage!"

"But I never expected that as soon as I showed up, the two monsters seemed to be oblivious to each other's existence and chased me all at once. I had no place to practice the dragon-controlling technique I was just about to practice."

Brave also felt something was amiss. "Logically, the colored bird imitates the calls of other monsters to intimidate the enemy, but sometimes, if the monster being imitated is nearby, it will be attracted to it. But the attracted monster is not blind. If it sees that the other monster is not of the same kind, it will definitely fight. How can it be indifferent to the other monster's existence?"

Lin Lin stroked his chin, recalling the last howl of the umbrella bird and the performance of the colorful bird. A bold idea came to his mind.

"Do you think it's possible that the relationship between the Umbrella Bird and the Colorful Bird is actually an incestuous love affair that transcends race?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Brave immediately rejected Lin Lin's conjecture and said that his imagination was more powerful than he could imagine.

So Lin Lin began to present facts and evidence:
"Look, the fact that the Umbrella Bird and the Colored Bird can get along so well and attack the Night Bird together, which is insignificant compared to their size, is actually quite unusual."

"Coupled with the fact that the bird's howl before it died was clearly a cry for help, and the reaction of the painted bird was clearly that it wanted to help the bird, I think this is entirely possible."

Lin Lin touched his chin. "I remember hearing a rumor before. Someone saw a female fire dragon, which is always a model couple among monsters, marrying an electric dragon instead of a male."

The two were discussing here, but Miss Ye Zi had no interest in the love affairs between monsters. Instead of discussing this, she was more curious about Huang Sulong, whom Senior Lin Lin called a hunting partner.

Even Chairman Sui Fengmin's ghost frog cub isn't this smart, right?

　Why is Ye Zi's image like this? The answer is that my Flame is modeled after Tifa (although they don't really look alike).
