Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 65 I hate humans who have no sense of boundaries
In the spacious living room, Brav and Tiaotiao huddled on the sofas on either side, staring at each other.

They stared at each other for a long time, and finally looked away after Lin Lin brought over a plate of grilled meat slices.

"Come and try this. I made some barbecued meat marinated in honey. Since it's a midnight snack, I didn't make too much."

Lin Lin placed the plate on the table, turned around and put the medium-rare steak specially reserved for Tiao Tiao to its mouth, and then sat down at the table.

Brave looked at Tiaotiao quietly chewing the steak with a strange expression, then looked at Lin Lin, "This doesn't look like Huang Sulong at all."

Lin Lin shrugged, "I think so too."

He wasn't very hungry, so he just picked up a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth. "Do you know the Fanghound?"

Brave's cheeks bulged as he swallowed the food in his mouth with great effort. "I think I've heard of it, but I can't quite remember."

"It's a fangbeast monster from Flame Village. It's not a target to be hunted, but a companion to the hunters there, sharing life and death together... Well, let's put it this way, the relationship between the hunters there and the fangbeast is the same as the relationship between us and the Felynn."

"Is there such a thing?"

Brave's eyes widened.

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know when you go and see it with your own eyes."

Lin Lin took a sip of juice. "I think Tiaotiao's situation is somewhat similar to that of the toothhound, or rather the ancestors of the toothhound. They started with sharing food and gradually established a symbiotic relationship. Maybe in a few decades or hundreds of years, the yellow velociraptor will have another subspecies called the hunting velociraptor?"

Brave has reservations about this statement, but judging from its temperament alone, this yellow velociraptor is indeed unprecedentedly docile. Perhaps, the worry about it hurting people can be put aside for a while?
He decided to try it himself before making a judgment.

"Mind if I try to make contact with it?"

"Well... you'll have to see its opinion on that."

So Brave squatted down, his whole body tensed, and kept ready to evade at any time, and moved closer to Tiao Tiao little by little.

"Guuuuu..."

Tiaotiao bared his teeth and looked at Braif, letting out a threatening growl from his throat.

Why is this guy getting so aggressive? This guy invaded the nest, and the eagle ignored him because the leader didn't drive him away and instead shared food with him. Why is this guy coming over again to try to steal food?
I hate people who have no sense of boundaries.

Lin Lin's mouth twitched. He walked over to Tiao Tiao and stroked its scales. "My advice is, it's best not to get close to it while it's eating."

Brave: ...

You're not convincing, you know?
So Brave waited patiently until Tiaotiao had finished chewing the bone and lay there to digest the food before he tried to approach him again.

Lin Lin was right next to him, so seeing that he didn't move, Tiao Tiao ignored him. But this guy not only didn't give up, but even had the audacity to reach out and touch him. Tiao Tiao couldn't help but turn his head and grin again. Seeing that the other party was startled and quickly retreated, he lay back down again.

"How about it?"

Seeing that Brave seemed to be lost in thought, Lin Lin sat on the floor next to Tiao Tiao and looked at him.

"If it can remain in its current state, the danger isn't really that high, but can you guarantee that?"

"Can you guarantee that you won't get hurt during every hunt?"

Lin Lin asked back.

"So it's still necessary to maintain supervision, but I think we should relax it a little and not consume too much manpower and resources. Why not just let me do it myself?"

Lin Lin raised his eyebrows. "I have no objection, but are you sure you want to do this?"

"Of course!"

……

The next day.

When Brave knocked on the door again, Lin Lin saw him standing at the door wearing an alloy suit.

"This is?"

"The leader agreed to my request. I will be fully responsible for supervising Jump when he is within the range of Lockrak."

"So you changed into this set of armor..." "Yes, this way you don't have to worry about its attacks breaking through the defense."

Lin Lin nodded. "It's a good thing you're here. You can take care of Tiao Tiao. I still have to go to the meeting place to hand in a mission!"

"Eh?"

"Don't worry, Jujube will stay here with you."

At first, Tiaotiao didn't recognize Braif who had changed into protective gear and was highly alert. But after carefully distinguishing the smell, he found that this was the human with no sense of boundaries from yesterday. He gurgled twice in his throat and ignored him.

"I feel relieved to see that you can get along so harmoniously."

Lin Lin nodded, gave some instructions and then went out.

"Tiaotiao, I'm going out for a while. Please behave yourself at home!"

……

Not long after walking out, Lin Lin saw a familiar figure wearing a Swift Dragon suit and quickly greeted him.

"Rachel-senpai!"

At this time, the other party was talking to a tall girl wearing a novice hunter suit. He turned his head and saw Lin Lin appear and nodded.

"You're back? Did the hunt go well?"

"It's going to go smoothly, but there were a few... well, not really troublesome accidents."

Lin Lin didn't talk in depth, but looked at the tall girl, "Who is this?"

Before Rachel could say anything, the girl bowed to him and said, "Hello, Senior Lin Lin. My name is Shion. I'm currently studying at the Rocklark Hunter Training Camp. Ms. Rachel is my instructor."

what?
Lin Lin looked at Rachel in surprise. When did you become an instructor in the training camp?

Rachel pointed to the luxurious hunter's cabin behind her and said, "Do you really think you're staying here for free?"

Lin Lin blinked, didn't he?

"This is a favor, and it must be repaid."

Rachel sighed, "Why are you the same as Kevin? He obviously didn't teach you for very long..."

Lin Lin: Ababa Ababa.

"so……?"

"I'm living in someone else's big house for free, and that guy with the mustache brought that girl An Xia to ask about my well-being, and then he said that their training of new recruits at Rocklake wasn't good enough and hoped to get some insignificant guidance. What can I do?"

"Oh……"

Lin Lin turned his head to look at Ziyuan again. So this is... being relied upon?
"Ow!"

Lin Lin covered his head and looked at Rachel again with a grin.

"Shion is a good kid. She's eager to learn, and I don't mind teaching her."

"Also, she uses a heavy crossbow."

Now Lin Lin understood, oh, isn’t this her junior sister, a direct descendant of hers?

Unlike him who wields a shield and an axe, there is not much others can teach him even if they want to.

Rachel looked up at the sky and waved to Lin Lin, "It's getting late. The training camp is still waiting for me. I have to go there first."

"But you can't let your guard down! If you can't get promoted to three stars and reach the Fengshan Maru, I'm going to give you a good beating!"

Lin Lin chuckled, "Don't worry, senior! I guarantee to complete the mission!"
