MTL - Cub Raising Association-Chapter 33 33 as a childcare worker

Mermaid cubs can be scaled down at the age of one to five years. This is not because of illness or physical health, but just a normal phenomenon when mermaid cubs grow up.

For example, it's a bit similar to a human child changing his teeth.

Usually when the scale is about to fade, the mermaid cubs will feel it.

In order to collect the first scales that have fallen, the mermaid cub usually instinctively stays in a fixed water area when it is conscious.

After the first scale has fallen, it will be easier to find.

The mermaid cub will carefully pack up the first scale it finds, and then leave the scale to the parents for safekeeping when it sees the parents.

The first scale that the pup dropped is very memorable, so normally, parents will be particularly happy when they receive the small scales that the pup held at home.

Although for the pups without parents, the staff in the Puppy Nursing Club is indeed their guardian, there is still a difference between the guardian and the puppet's inner parent.

The mermaid cub gave only the first scale it dropped to Xie Luan, but not the other nurses in the branch.

Hearing about the scale of the mermaid cub from other people, Xie Luan stayed for a second first, then he reached out and reached into his clothes pocket.

The finger touched the small piece of cub scales which was smooth and warm to the touch, a bit like a jade slice. Xie Luan couldn't help but take the scale out of the pocket.

In the eyes of everyone around, Xie Luan looked down at this mermaid scale, and was a little speechless.

The ice-blue scale dropped by the mermaid cub looks particularly transparent and beautiful in indoor light. Originally, Xie Luan was going to collect this scale. Now I know the significance of this scale. The movement of this scale was even more careful.

This little mermaid treats him as a parent ...?

Looking at the ice-blue scales on his hand, thinking about this problem, Xie Luan suddenly felt that the small scale resting in his palm seemed to have an extra weight for no reason.

Feeling that this small scale has become a bit heavy, Xie Luan then thought of another thing--

Because the mermaid cub can't speak normally, the sound that it can usually make is at most a low volume mono, which is still mixed with the sound of the air, and you need to listen carefully to hear it.

Xie Luan now thinks for no reason that this mermaid cub usually speaks to him most often, and it is the clearest and hardest syllable ...

After feeding the cubs with three other nurses, Xie Luan first returned to the staff quarters and put the ice-blue scales in his pockets into a wooden box.

There were still a few grain-sized spar in this wooden box. After Xie Luan put the scales in, the wooden box was refastened and placed on the bedside.

After carefully collecting the scales, Xie Luan returned to the indoor pool in the room again, and he wanted to confirm one thing.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, the mermaid cub in the pool quickly swam in the direction of the footsteps, because he could not go ashore, the mermaid cub was leaning against the edge of the pool, and his blue eyes stared straight forward. Human youth approaching here.

When Xie Luan actually approached the pool and crouched down, his left hand was touched by the mermaid cub.

The water-stained little hand touched the back of the youth's left hand. This was only a mermaid cub with short gold hair and gently grasped a finger of the youth.

"A?" Looking at the youth's left hand, and then looking at the youth's right hand, the mermaid cub grabbed the youth's finger and shook it back and forth, sending out an incomprehensible weakness Breath.

The sound alone is not easy to understand, but Xie Luan can at least understand that this is a pronunciation that is asking him a question, and through the movement of this cub, Xie Luan probably understands what the mermaid cub is asking him.

"It's already packed, put it in a wooden box, and will keep the scales for Gar." Xie Luan explained slowly, without pulling back his finger that was gently grasped by the mermaid cub, freeing up another With one hand, touch the soft, short hair of this pup.

"A ~"

The small fish tail covered with ice blue scales dangled under the water, especially the tail fins moved left and right, and the mermaid cub soon issued a single tone expressing happiness.

The parents accepted the first scale that they had dropped and said they would take good care of it, which is also a happy thing for the mermaid cubs.

Because in this matter, the cub can feel the parents' love for it.

Because of this, the mermaid cub now wants to make a sound to the youth in front of her.

"Pa ..."

The first sound was made, and most of the air was in the sound. The mermaid cub stopped, and after a few seconds, it spoke again.

"Pa——" Azure blue eyes still stared at the youth, the mermaid cub tried to make this tone, and after waiting for it, it waited quietly for the youth's response.

You can hear this sound more powerful, and it is much clearer, but this seems to be the limit that this mermaid cub can currently achieve.

Xie Luan didn't think about the meaning of this syllable before, especially when the mermaid cub made an extra effort to give him this single tone, Xie Luan seriously thought what the cub was expressing to him.

Because the mermaid cub looked at him with a look of expectation every time he finished the note to him, which made Xie Luan always mistakenly think that the cub wanted something thing……

Without being able to figure out what the mermaid cub wanted, Xie Luan had been worried about this matter before today.

He was afraid that he would ignore an important need expressed by the cub, which would lead to bad consequences.

Until now, Xie Luan finally figured it out.

"Um." Nodded to the mermaid cub approaching the pool, Xie Luan bent down at the cub looking at him with anticipation.

Hearing the response, the mermaid cub's potential under the water's tail fins shook more and more from left to right. The young man's finger grasped a little harder than before, trying to make the two syllables clearer and more consistent: ... "

It can be seen that this cub has worked very hard. Although the second syllable failed to get the right answer, Xie Luan now understands it.

The mermaid cub wanted to call him "papa", and looked at him with anticipation after making his voice, but he just wanted him to respond in words ...

"Well." Wen answered, Xie Luan nodded again, and gave a second response.

When he first realized that the mermaid cub wanted to call himself "papa", Xie Luan actually felt unprepared.

But now watching Xie Luan trying so hard to send these two syllables to him, Xie Luan quickly relented.

Even if the mermaid cub can only speak one syllable in a continuous voice, he will definitely respond when he hears it.
