Will Ditto dream of the Monster Hunter Rathalos?

The two of them had always been quite mysterious when they got together before, and it was the same today. Even if Han Xin had no interest in humans,

But the two men's sneaky behavior finally aroused Han Xin's curiosity.

So this time he didn't rush to find Alulu, but pulled out a stool next to the wine table and sat down on it.

Facing Han Xin's questioning,

Lucilla suddenly stood up and said in a serious tone:

"Ah! I suddenly remembered that the professor assigned me a new project. I need to go back to the institute!"

Seeing his "comrade" about to run away, Ye Zi also stood up in a hurry.

"Ah, today's training is still..."

However, the next second, before Ye Zi's buttocks left the stool an inch, Lucy was pressed back and whispered in her ear:

"Please, Ye Zi, help me hold Mr. Han Xin back! Judging from the look in his eyes, he's definitely not going to give up until he gets the answer! I'll show you the manuscript later!"

"Ugh?"

Before Ye Zi could react, Lucilla ran out with the notebook in her arms!

"..."

When Ye Zi came back to his senses, Lucilla had already disappeared.

She mechanically turned her head to look at Han Xin with a sharp gaze, scratched her head, and forced out an awkward but polite smile.

"Hmm~"

Seeing the little girl's predicament, Han Xin found it amusing instead. He raised his eyebrows and waited for her answer with a slightly joking look.

Suddenly, a light bulb popped up above Ye Zi's head.

With a mysterious look on his face, he slowly dragged his stool over to Han Xin's side, and said submissively with a sly look in his eyes:

"Because we were discussing Gu Long's affairs just now, you know, we can't let the people around us know too much about Gu Long's affairs."

This makes sense.

Han Xin squinted his eyes, half believing and half doubting.

"Really? Then why are you two so nervous?"

Seeing that there was something interesting going on, Ye Zi smiled.

"Didn't you ask me to keep the news of the monstrous Steel Dragon being defeated a secret? I followed your instructions and reported it to the guild and the research institute.

Later they sent Miss Lucilla to verify the situation. After she returned, she naturally wanted to find me, the so-called "first witness", to continue to inquire about the situation.

But you know, this is something we made up, so naturally I'm nervous.

As a researcher, it's normal for Ms. Lucilla to get nervous when checking the information about the ancient dragon~"

Actually, what Ye Zi said was really correct.

The two of them were actually talking about this before discussing something with Lucilla.

"What was the outcome of the discussion?"

Han Xin asked.

"As you planned, Miss Lucilla recorded everything I said and prepared to file it for the Guild and the Institute."

Looking at Ye Zi's big blinking eyes,

Han Xin naturally knew that this little girl was hiding something.

But fortunately, after learning that Ye Zi had successfully helped him conceal the fact that the strange thing had defeated the Steel Dragon, he breathed a sigh of relief and no longer worried about their little secret.

At this point, Han Xin kept his secret and completely resolved the matter of the strange defeat of the Steel Dragon.

But he still shuddered, feeling as if he had lost something while reaching his goal.

Uh...it can't be moral integrity, hahaha.

For some reason, this sentence popped into Han Xin's mind.

While exploring the topic of monsters, Han Xin chatted with Ye Zi about other things.

For example, the previous encounter with the Black Eclipse Dragon, and the recent monster ecology information observed by hunters and scholars in the Fortress Highlands.

The matter of the Black Eclipse Dragon was similar to what Han Xin heard at the Elgard Restaurant.

At least in the hunting ground, no trace of the Black Dragon or the Mad Dragon Virus was found.

But another thing Ye Zi said made Han Xin a little stunned and moved.

"...Ah, and also, from what Miss Lucilla said, it seems the entire Ice Wolf Dragon clan in the mountainous forest area of ​​the Fortress Highlands relocated this morning.

Judging from the route, perhaps we are returning to the northern snowy area.

This perfectly aligns with what you said, Mr. Benefactor, about the strangeness that caused the Steel Dragon to leave. After all, if a highly aggressive Ancient Dragon were to reside there permanently, ordinary monsters wouldn't go back."

Hearing this, memories of last night flooded into Han Xin's mind.

Originally, Han Xin wanted to take this opportunity to make peace with the Ice Wolf Dragon leader.

But now it seems that compared with the feelings in her heart, the Ice Wolf Girl's focus is more on her own tribe.

Han Xin looked towards the north, feeling somewhat reluctant.

But ultimately, she is an ice wolf dragon and the current leader of the tribe.

Maybe one day in the future, I will meet her again and continue to write a different story with her.

And now, Han Xin could only silently wish her well in his heart.

……

the other side.

Far away in the snowy north of the Fortress Highlands,

The leader of the Ice Wolf Dragons led the remaining Ice Wolf Dragons back onto the white snow.

This night with the Thunder Wolf Dragon leader made her think a lot.

Finally, she decided to return to the northern snowy region and no longer occupy the Thunder Wolf Dragon's territory.

Although the strange steel dragon in the northern snow region has been destroyed by the Thunder Wolf Dragon leader, the whereabouts of the Ice Curse Dragon is unknown.

Fortunately, as they approached their destination, what Ice Wolf Girl saw was a peaceful and tranquil snowy area.

So she chose to return to her former home.

It has been several years since I last stepped on the snow.

At that time, the snow was blizzarding, the wind was howling, and even the touch of the pads was freezing cold.

But now, the gentle sunlight shining on the light warm snow made her feel relaxed and happy.

The ice wolf dragon in the tribe rolled and played wildly on the long-lost snow, and rediscovered its love for the snow.

Only the Ice Wolf Girl looked up at the endless and peaceful snowy area, appearing exceptionally calm.

She knew that it would take a long time for the Ice Wolf Dragon tribe to revive.

But he unconsciously looked back at the mountains and forests behind him, his eyes seemed to be missing something.

However, she quickly turned her head and continued to lead the wolf pack into the depths of the snowy area.

The back view is resolute and firm.

……

In the evening, Han Xin was playing with his two kittens in Alulu's room.

"Uh-huh~"

But he seems to have absolutely no "potential" to be a father.

He is good at raising monsters, but he is indeed a bit clumsy when it comes to raising orcs.

After Han Xin made this sound, Alulu, who was cooking with her back to him, laughed speechlessly.

Who would use such a sound to amuse their own children?

Han Xin took the hands of the two kittens and gently shook them, not knowing what was going on.

The latter just babbled and looked away, as if he thought his father was very boring.

Han Xin felt ashamed to be looked down upon by the children.

Suddenly, he thought of the Poké Ball he had drawn on the way to Elgard.

It is said that cats like this kind of ball-shaped toys, so maybe these two kittens at home will like them too?

Thinking of this, Han Xin took out the Poké Ball and waved it in front of the two kittens.

"Meow?"

Seeing this, the two kittens' eyes lit up and they climbed onto their father's body to grab the Poké Ball.

However, just as Hawksbill touched the ball, the Poké Ball suddenly opened and emitted a dazzling red light, sucking Hawksbill in!

"?!"

This gave Han Xin a big shock!

Even Xiang Keke, who was standing next to her, was stunned where she was. She blinked her big eyes and looked at her irresponsible father at a loss.

Fortunately, there was a snap.

The Poké Ball suddenly exploded, and Hawksbill Turtle reappeared in front of Han Xin.

He also had big eyes flashing and looked confused.

But soon, Hawksbill Turtle realized something was wrong and started crying.

“Meow~”

Han Xin was immediately panicked.

Since Alulu was cooking, she turned her back and did not see the scene.

After hearing the crying, he just felt that Han Xin had no talent for taking care of children. He smiled helplessly, put down the work in his hands, turned around, hugged Daimao and rocked him gently.
