MTL - Orc Predator-~ ☆The chapter is vaguely ambiguous
In the routine of day-to-day life, time flies. In the blink of an eye, Ah Liu has lived in Augustine Continent for three months.
Of course, being Cedric's neighbor was enough for three months. If the silver-haired orc accidentally smashed the wall separating the two houses N times during the period, the two got along without incident. Although every time Ah Liu looked at the broken wall, he was desperately hoping that the orcs would move back to the first district.
Summer is gradually going away, and it has entered the long rainy season, and finally the rain turns into snowflakes. The winter in Augustine Continent is long and extremely cold. It snows continuously for several months, and the wind is fierce. In this kind of weather, even male orcs with rough skin and thick flesh cannot stay outside for too long, and even weak natural females cannot stay outside for too long. Unable to withstand such a low temperature, almost all non-orc shops in the market were closed or taken over by orcs.
Winter is also the most dangerous season in the Augustine Continent. A large number of beasts who are not afraid of the severe cold will set their sights on the orc settlements because of the shortage of food. This year, this kind of situation happened from time to time in summer, which is very abnormal. Spring and summer should be the two seasons with the most abundant food, but there is a food shortage at this time, which often indicates a major abnormality in the forest. By this fall, the situation has intensified. Many districts have been attacked by swarms of wild beasts several times, and the attacks became more violent as the weather turned colder. On the first day of snowfall, the defense of a relatively remote area fell, and hundreds of beasts rushed in. Although the supporting orcs arrived in time, the casualties of the orcs and the transformed females were still very serious. Since then, all districts have strengthened their defenses, especially the top-ranked districts, where there are orcs patrolling or standing guard everywhere.
It has been snowing for more than ten days, and the snow is more than half a meter thick, almost covering the male orc's knees. In addition, the clothes he wears are heavy, and every step is very strenuous to move. The weather is cold and it is inconvenient to walk. The only natural female who still goes out in this situation is Ah Liu. He is still dressed in black, and a large but not too thick black animal skin cloak is added to cover him from head to tail. A pointy chin, and the frigid cold that most female non-orcs can't stand seemed like nothing to him.
Set up a stall in the market as before, probably because almost all male orcs are active here at this time, and the defense here is lax compared to other locations. The lush trees in summer are covered with thick snow at this time, the surroundings are silent, the snowflakes are flying, and the thin figure of the non-orc sits in the empty white, looking fragile and lonely.
Perhaps because his position today is too close to the forest, a beast covered with blue-green scales suddenly rushed out of the forest not far away, its humanoid body was as light and silent as a ghost, In a few seconds or so, he had arrived behind Ah Liu, and his sharp claws drew a cold arc in the sun, and they were about to tear that thin shadow apart. Seeing this, the orcs nearby turned into beasts and rushed over to help, but the speed of the beasts was obviously too fast—
At the last second, Ah Liu swung the scimitar with its sheath backhand.
"Boom!" A wild animal was thrown far away by a strong force, and it landed on the snow with a loud noise. With a flick of his wrist, the non-orc unsheathed the scimitar, raised his foot and slowly walked towards the beast struggling to get up on the ground. He had seen this kind of humanoid beast in the forest near the ancient bear tribe, but this was the first time he had seen it here.
"Roar!" Accompanied by an inexplicable roar, a dragon-like creature with light blue scales surpassed other orcs and jumped out from behind Ah Liu, directly overtaking the non-orcs and fighting with the beasts. Ah Liu frowned slightly, retracted the scimitar with a twist of his wrist, turned and left.
Three times, five times and two times killed the beast, Hall changed back into the beastman form, and took two quick steps to catch up with Ah Liu.
The non-orc went to the original position and sat down expressionlessly, ignoring the orc next to him.
Hall: "..."
"All right?" After being embarrassed for a long time, the orc finally spoke, his tone as cold as ever.
"It's okay." Ah Liu replied equally indifferently.
After the sentence, there was another awkward silence.
Hall pursed his lips. He originally wanted to remind him that the situation is dangerous now, try not to go out alone, and it is best not to go out, but he swallowed the words back thinking of the super fighting power of the female. The eyes fell on Ah Liu. Like all natural females, his body was slender and well-proportioned, but his clothes were thin. Hall couldn't help frowning. Naturally, females are afraid of the cold. Isn't he cold?
His shoulders suddenly sank, and the clothes with the orc body temperature were draped over him. Ah Liu was slightly taken aback, and looked up. The blue-haired orc was standing in the ice and snow wearing close-fitting clothes, his expression as cold as ever.
"Thank you." The non-orc paused and spoke again.
Hall nodded slightly, his movements barely visible, his cheeks flushed slightly.
Ah Liu continued to sell his own things, and Hall did not leave, standing straight beside him like a sculpture. It wasn't until everything was sold out that Ah Liu packed up his things and got up. Looking up at Hall, he was almost like a snowman. Ah Liu raised his feet and walked home in silence. The snowman finally moved and followed behind him without saying a word.
The two walked in tandem, and along the way, other male orcs noticed Ah Liu's coat which was obviously a size bigger, and their eyes suddenly became ambiguous when they looked at the two.
Not long after reaching the door of the house, Ah Liu stopped, looked at the orc's face covered with snow, and asked lightly, "Do you want to go in and sit down?"
Hall's heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to nod, they both heard a shout at the same time.
"Ah Six!" Phil yelled as he ran towards this side. He didn't know how many layers of clothes had been worn on his body, and his blond hair was well combed and tightly stuffed into the hat. There were decorative fluff on his head and body. The whole person was like a fluffy ball, and Adolf and the two little male orcs he had seen before followed behind him.
"Ah Liu? Uh..." Phil gradually slowed down after seeing the two people standing at the door, his eyes turned around on Ah Liu, then on Hall, and finally fell on Ah Liu. On the outer coat that is obviously bigger than the cloak.
Ah Liu was actually wearing another orc's coat! And no matter how you look at it, the relationship between the two seems to be very good! That orc looked at Ah Liu with such gentle eyes, he was not bad looking, and his strength seemed to be pretty good too! God Cedric, if you don't act fast, someone else will steal your partner!
"I'll go first." Seeing the person coming, Hall's eyes flashed, and he nodded slightly to Ah Liu and said.
"En." Ah Liu said concisely, handed back the coat he was wearing to the orc, and helped him knock off the snowflakes on his shoulders. It seemed that because of the coldness of his body, the temperature felt by the fingertips of the non-orc was even warmer. His face blushed again, and he hurriedly put on his coat and left without even saying "goodbye" to Ah Liu. Embarrassed.
Ah Liu glanced at Hall's back, and felt that he was really moody and inexplicable.
Seeing Ah Liu's movements, Phil's eyes were about to pop out. Helping others to shoot snow is not counted, but looking at their backs is so "reluctant"! Poor Cedric, you've lost your chance...
The author has something to say: Author: Keke, Ah Liu, do you like Hall more? Or do you prefer Cedric?
Six: ...
Author: Oh, don't be shy to say it! I will let you live happily together~
Ah Liu: ... (draws the knife with the left hand)
Author: (cold sweat) Hahaha, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so let’s go first, hahaha...
