Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 277 Who is the direct disciple?
"Ah~ Xiao Linlin, and this little girl, do you have any questions that you need me to answer?"

The village headwoman had a gentle smile. Lin Lin found that every time he saw her, she was sitting on this bench, looking at the mountains, the water, and the people, as if she could never see enough.

Lin Lin scratched his head, and suddenly felt that it was not a good idea to bother others for such a small matter. However, since he was already here, it would be even worse not to say anything.

"It's like this. I, your junior sister, want to find a Felyne companion. I happened to see that old lady over there, so I wanted to ask for some information to see if she's reliable."

"Oh?"

The village head lady glanced at Shion. As a disciple of a high-ranking hunter, this little girl hadn't been given any arrangements by her master in this regard?

She thought about it again. The three senior hunters who came to Jieyun Village didn't seem to have even a Felynx companion. That was not surprising. The older generation of hunters didn't seem to have the habit of bringing cats.

Is that the mother-in-law who introduced the follower cat?
She looked in the direction Lin Lin pointed, and as expected, she saw the old dragon man carrying an exaggerated backpack.

"It's her, it's okay, don't worry~"

"Grandma Cat has been doing this for a long time. She introduced many of my fellow hunters, not just those in Jieyun Village. She's trustworthy."

"And the contract signed with Granny Cat has also been certified by the Guild! This means that follower cats introduced by Granny Cat don't need to go to the Guild to re-register like Xiao Lin Lin did."

As she spoke, the village head lady looked at Lin Lin with a smile.

Lin Lin couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment, "I didn't expect you knew all this..."

It was because he didn't understand these things that he "secretly" became a partner with Date, which resulted in a loss in Date's record in a battle against a large ancient dragon. Fortunately, he could make up for it by going to Rocklark later, otherwise Lin Lin would feel guilty for a while.

"Hehe... I also heard Cihua mention this accidentally. It's normal that Xiao Linlin didn't understand these things at that time."

"This flower..."

Lin Lin couldn't help but grit his teeth. This big mouth, when will he be able to be as mature and steady as Sasakei!

After a slight embarrassment, the brothers and sisters who had achieved their goal said goodbye to the village chief and went straight to the cat lady.

"Hello, Grandma!"

Shion followed the Jieyun etiquette she learned from Konka and bowed ninety degrees as soon as she came up.

Lin Lin stood by and felt that compared to this, just nodding seemed too cold, so he bowed helplessly.

"Hehe, dear hunters, hello..."

Granny Cat nodded with a kind expression.

"You guys were looking at me repeatedly just now. Are you planning to hire a cat companion?"

"Huh? Did you notice?"

Ziyuan's eyes suddenly widened. She thought her little action was quite covert!
"Haha, although my eyesight is a little blurry, I'm not so old that I can't see anything!"

Shion playfully stuck out her tongue, trying to get away with it:
"It's like this. I want to find a suitable Felyne partner, and my senior brother is here to help me with some advice."

Granny Cat was indeed a very kind person. She didn't dwell on this point, but instead followed Shion's topic and talked about the real business:

"So, what do you want from your partner?"

"For example, personality, fighting tendencies, or conditions like fur color and body shape?"

"Huh? Can I even specify the fur color?"

Granny Cat smiled and shook her head. "It seems you still don't know me very well, little girl..." "Although I work as an agent, my real intention is to provide a channel for those children to realize their dreams. To do this, I have to travel to many places every year."

"Because there are so many of these little guys, I can only use this method to screen out the children who meet the requirements. It can also be regarded as a way to save time."

"But I have to remind you that this choice is two-way. Not only you, the hunter, are choosing your follower cat, but the children are also choosing their favorite hunters. So I have to ask you a few questions later."

It looks quite like that...

Lin Lin, who was watching from the side, complained silently.

Shion thought seriously for a moment and raised a finger:
"Any conditions are acceptable? Or can I only choose from the ones you just mentioned?"

Granny Cat smiled gently, "It's all fine, but it's still quite difficult to find a child who meets the requirements. I can only try my best."

"Oh, then I'll tell you!"

"Go ahead, go ahead..."

Granny Cat took out a booklet from somewhere, holding a pen and waiting quietly.

"I want to... find a powerful cat companion!"

"Powerful? Do you mean a brave fighting style? Hmm..."

"No, literally!"

Shion's eyes sparkled, "For example, a five-star or six-star level hunting cat or something!"

Grandma Cat was stunned on the spot. Why didn’t she understand what the girl was saying?
Could Hunter's language be arranged and combined like this? She had lived for so many years in vain, and her experience was still too little.

Lin Lin's face turned even darker, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and slapped the girl on the head.

A five-star or six-star hunter cat is giving you, a two-star hunter, a follower cat? Team member Shion, are you awake?!
"Ow!"

Ziyuan covered her forehead and screamed in pain. This feeling, such a familiar force!
Of course, Shion would feel familiar with this technique. This was a technique taught by her master, Rachel. It had just the right amount of force, enough to confuse the person without causing any headaches! Most importantly, it could instantly sober them up.

"Hey, don't mind it, she was just joking!"

Lin Lin quickly tried to make amends and gave Ziyuan a look, asking her to speak properly next.

"Well……"

Ziyuan covered her head and looked at Lin Lin resentfully, but the solid pain on her forehead made her dare not pierce it, so she could only grit her teeth in frustration.

Bad brother! He hits people whenever he disagrees with them. Who is the true disciple of the master?

"Well... I want to find a cat companion who's particularly good at cooking!"

Lin Lin's face darkened again, and his fingers, which had just hit someone, were ready to move.

Listen to what kind of requests are these?! Who looks for a follower cat like this?!
Granny Cat didn't express any opinion, but simply wrote down the request. "As for being good at it, it's actually a bit difficult, but there should still be people who like cooking. I remember a few children once said that if they couldn't become hunting cats, their second intention would be to become a cat chef."

"Are there any other requirements? Like combat tendencies, personality, etc?"

Shion bit her lip and thought for a moment, then finally shook her head.

I don’t know, I haven’t thought about it, so let’s just do it!
