Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 237 Target, Thunder Wolf Dragon
Sasayuki bowed lightly. "On behalf of the Jieyun Village Hunter Guild branch, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you all for coming to Jieyun to lend a hand at this time."

Brave accepted it calmly, Ye Zi felt a little embarrassed, Iwata knew that he was not the one being thanked, and Lin Lin shook his head slightly.

"Jieyun is my home, there's no need to talk about thanking me."

Sasyuki smiled softly, while Konoha blinked in confusion. "Huh? Who is this person? Is there such a person in our village?"
So Lin Lin lifted up his visor and asked, "I haven't seen you for a few months. How could you not recognize me?"

"Hey! Lin Lin!"

The flower was startled.

When the Thunder Wolf Dragon first appeared, Lin Lin was the first to discover it and pass the information back, allowing the guild to make a lot of preparations in advance, thus avoiding a lot of losses.

After that, this guy disappeared from Jieyun. Cihua was a little angry at that time, but then she thought that he was just staying in Jieyun temporarily, and it was a great favor that he could pass the information back. There was no need for him to live and die with this village, so she let it go.

Why did this guy come back at this time?!
The smile on Sasyuki's lips deepened, as if she had expected it. She didn't say much, but just bowed again.

"Welcome home."

Seeing the flower's frightened look, Lin Lin grinned, and his evil taste was greatly satisfied. The reason why he didn't take off his mask after coming in was not because he was waiting for this moment.

Sasayuki's reaction made him feel quite embarrassed, but at the same time, a warm current seemed to surge in his heart.

So he put away the smile on his face, took two steps forward and handed over his hunter notes.

"I'm back. Please help me register. By the way, does the guild have any urgent commissions that need to be handled?"

"So soon? You're already taking on a mission right after you got back? Do you want to take a break?"

Sasayuki was really surprised this time.

"I still prefer the lively and bustling village."

Lin Lin's answer was irrelevant to the question, but Sasuke understood his thoughts in an instant and did not try to persuade him anymore. Instead, he listed all the commissions that were piled up in the guild and needed to be resolved urgently.

Lin Lin listened patiently for a moment, but as the client continued to speak, he finally couldn't help but interrupt:

"Wait a minute, there's no urgent request to hunt the Thunder Wolf Dragon? Shouldn't it be?"

"That's true, but..."

Sasayuki looked at Lin Lin's hunter's notebook with four stars on it, her tone hesitant.

The last time Lin Lin left, it was still three stars, but in just two or three months it has already reached four stars. Facing a five-star monster directly is too dangerous, right?
"Don't worry, Brother Lin Lin is very powerful! Besides, we are here to help!"

Ye Zi finally couldn't help it. She broke the strange atmosphere, stepped forward quickly, took out a scale from the prop bag, and showed it to them:
"We already fought a Thunder Wolf Dragon once on our way here, and that Thunder Wolf Dragon is now missing a horn! If the situation hadn't been unsuitable for chasing it, we might have already killed it!"

Kohana and Sasyuki both widened their eyes, while Manjusri quietly turned his head away and sighed silently.

Why didn't this girl mention that the Thunder Wolf Dragon took several hits from her hammers and was also hit by a huge collision between heaven and earth?
She has grown up, and it's hard to keep a girl when she grows up...

Perhaps because Lin Lin made a lot of noise, a little old dragon man came out from the inner room, grabbing his hair and muttering something in annoyance.

Lin Lin took a quick look and found that the old man looked familiar, but he was a little reluctant to recognize him because of his haggard appearance.

Is this still the drunkard president who never leaves his drinking gourd? Why can't I smell any alcohol today?

"Is the president quitting drinking now?"

Lin Lin lowered his voice and asked Cihua quietly. Cihua was about to say something when she suddenly waved her hands and covered her mouth.

"Stinky boy, you just mentioned wine, right?"

There was a resentful feeling behind him. Lin Lin turned around stiffly and saw the old man standing behind him, looking very angry.

After seeing Lin Lin's face clearly, he was stunned for a moment, then coughed lightly, and his tone softened a lot.

"So it's you, you just got back?"

"Correct."

He looked at Lin Lin carefully, then at the two hunters behind him, and his expression became much better.

"That's a good one!"

Then he changed the subject:
"By the way, I heard a lot of noise coming from your side just now. What's going on? Are you planning to challenge the Thunder Wolf Dragon?"

Lin Lin nodded.

"Are you confident?"

Lin Lin continued to nod. If he didn't have any confidence before, then the battle with the Thunder Wolf Dragon a few nights ago gave him confidence.

For him, the Thunder Wolf Dragon is no longer a creature that needs to be avoided.

The drunkard president, who hadn't drunk any alcohol, stared at Lin Lin seriously for a long time. Seeing that Lin Lin remained unmoved, he finally sighed slightly.

He stretched out his hand to pat Lin Lin's shoulder, but with the height difference between him and Lin Lin, even if Lin Lin squatted down, he would have to jump up to pat him, so he patted his own face instead without leaving any trace.

"Okay, I believe you. There's a Thunder Wolf Dragon active in the north of the village. It's blocking the trade route for wine. I was thinking of giving it to Little Manjusri, but now I'll give it to you and your friends!"

Lin Lin: ...

So, not drinking is just because there is no alcohol to drink?
What should I do if I suddenly don’t want to care about that Thunder Wolf Dragon?
Ahem, just a joke. After all, the Drunkard Guild President is the president of a local guild, so he shouldn't be so indiscriminate. That trade route must be very important to Jieyun Village, so they would give priority to ensuring the smooth flow of the trade route. Transporting wine... may be just a small part of it.

"So you'll take this one?"

Lin Lin turned and looked at his two teammates.

Brave shrugged. "Didn't we come to Jieyun Village to help? How we help you is up to you!"

Ye Zi nodded repeatedly, "Brother Lin Lin, please make all the arrangements. I will definitely do my best!"

"Okay, that's it! Let's get ready and set off tomorrow!"

Although he was anxious, Lin Lin was not yet insane. He specially left a day for rest instead of challenging the strong enemy with his tired body after the long journey.

Also, now that he's back in the village, he has some old friends he wants to visit...

Ye Zi and Brave chose to rent a hunter's cabin directly at the gathering place. Lin Lin returned to the village entrance, took their luggage over, and then took his back to the Iwata family's farm.

Here, he had his first home in this world.
