Thanks for the invitation. I am a parasite in Terra.

No, that wasn't what he said. He hadn't even thought about what to say to Skadi...

Laurentina??

Zuo Jian was stunned, realizing that after Laurentina returned to her body, she did not choose to change her face back, but continued to wear the female version of Zuo Jian's face and used his tone to ask... bring Skadi?

[Um...Laurentina?]

'I'm here.'

Laurentina waved with a gentle smile and watched Skadi jog back to the original swing position and took out a new ball to continue practicing...

[Why are you...]

"I just want to experience what kind of feelings and emotions I have when facing everyone every day as a left-hander."

As she spoke, she sat on the grass, lowered her head slightly and gently stroked the brooch on her chest.

[Laurentina...you......] Zuo Jian was speechless for a moment, as if he was a little surprised by her behavior.

'What's wrong? Are you angry? Or do you not like the way I look?'

Noticing something was wrong with the left room, Laurentina asked softly.

[No, why would I be angry? I'm just surprised. Laurentina... you... seem to have changed a little bit since the beginning. But... I don't think this change is a bad thing.]

[But why don't you use your own face?]

"My own face? That's not a problem, but if it was my own face, Orca wouldn't act like a child to me, right?"

"But if we face that child of Shotena, maybe it will work? Oh~ But if we do that, won't we feel like a family?"

'Like... the child's parents?'

[Ahem, parents...you are too...]

Sure enough, it was a bit stupid to want to avoid this kind of question. He couldn't avoid the matter about Xiu Tina, but if he really avoided it, he would feel ashamed. But he didn't expect that Laurentina would use this method to bring up the relevant topic.

Damn it, what should I do...

Laurentina...should I let her accept an extra child with the same blood as her for almost no reason? Or should I just pretend that nothing happened? But would that be fair to Xiutina?

She clearly has her own consciousness, so is she going to cover it up like this?

Damn it, what should I do?

"Just kidding. After all, isn't Xiutina technically my sister?"

She sat on the grass, resting her cheeks on her hands, and spoke nonchalantly.

[Sister? Is...is that so?]

"After all, we have the same bloodline. This kind of situation is rare among deep-sea hunters.

In fact, it is not uncommon. Can't Orca and I be called sisters in a strict sense? Oh——But why did Zuo Jian react so strongly? Could it be that he really took my words seriously? "

[Wh...what?! I just...just!]

"That's not impossible, but before I can be Shutina's, I have to be yours..."

[No, no, no! I don’t have any weird thoughts! You’re right! If we’re related by blood, we should be treated as sisters! Why would you think of a daughter first? I’m really a weirdo, my mind is full of weird thoughts! Laurentina, you don’t think I’m disgusting, do you?]

"I do."

However, the girl sitting on the grass just spoke softly and casually, as if she was explaining a trivial matter.

[What?!]

When Zuo Jian heard this, he anxiously raised his pupils above the brooch for a moment, and then he began to speak to Laurentina in a very serious tone.

[Listen carefully, Laurentina, you can’t just say this kind of thing! You have to know that some things can only be said to someone you really like, and you can’t just say yes casually...]

"Yes, yes, I know, I know."

The girl stood up and brushed the weeds off her clothes, with an expression that said she had known about this for a long time.

But ah.

Laurentina thought of Zuo Jian's appearance just now. Was it too early to say this directly? She didn't want Zuo Jian to fall into a bad state because of herself or Xiu Tina. If so, she would feel guilty, and Xiu Tina must feel the same.

But...this should only be temporary, right?

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised slightly, and her mind was repeating Zuo Jian’s panicked look just now.

Even if the status quo is maintained, it must be only temporary, right?

After all... Zuo Jian should have never shown such an attitude towards others, such a... flustered attitude in this regard.

Blindly pressing and being willful will only end up consuming the other person's feelings for you. If you really want to change the relationship between the two, you should show your differences in front of him, the differences between yourself... and those guys he thinks are children.

This is why Laurentina never thought that the guys picked up by Zuo Jian could be considered as so-called "competitors". To put it bluntly, would you worry that a group of children would become your love rivals? It doesn't exist.

In her opinion, those guys would at most all sit at Skadi's table.

But if I have to say, the biggest obstacle at the moment is still...

Laurentina remembered the Doctor's previous attempt to attract her attention... Zuo Jian would not allow a "child" in his eyes to help him out, even in this way.

He wouldn't agree to that.

Plus

At the beginning, he even planned with the doctor's woman to do something in Victoria, but he concealed it from them because he did not want to involve the "child" in his eyes in the so-called dispute.

In other words...in Zuo Jian's eyes, the doctor is not a child, but he is someone that Zuo Jian can trust.

No matter what this trust came from, whether it was her strategic abilities or the strange interest that Zuo Jian would occasionally have in her for no reason.

None of these processes are important. The only important thing is that the "trust" has been established. Judging from the current situation, that woman is the biggest threat that Laurentina is facing.

At this moment, the brain did not have any negative emotions affecting its judgment because of the connection between Zuo Jian and that woman. It was just analyzing the current situation wholeheartedly and making a more appropriate judgment.

It seems that her nerves as a hunter have not completely degenerated and disappeared.

Her captain once commented on her, saying that although her behavior was sometimes too ferocious, especially when hunting Hai Si, her judgment of the situation was actually always sober and extremely rational.

This is a quality that a hunter should possess, but when it is displayed in Laurentina, it can still be called a strength.

"Let's go, Zuojian. Now that you've finished your work, we should go home, right?"

"Or do you have anything else to deal with?"

She felt Zuo Jian's emotions, and seemed to have expected that the other party must have something that had not been settled, and she showed an understanding expression.

[Laurentina... there are indeed some things that have not been completely resolved, but...]

"Take me with you, or I won't agree."

Well, even though she had analyzed and judged so much, under this situation, she still couldn't help but show a little willfulness in front of Zuo Jian.

Zuo Jian was stunned for a moment, then spoke in a tone that sounded both helpless and doting.

[No problem, Laurentina.]

Just like before.

Chapter 5, Happy May Day

Laurentina lowered her head slightly, feeling the warmth on the left side of her chest.

"Yeah, just like before."

"But what about the killer whale? Should we temporarily place her there?

? ”

[No, let’s take it with us. We will probably move our base a bit next.]

"stronghold?"

Listening to Zuo Jian's words, Laurentina seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment, she waved her hand and motioned Skadi to come over.

The latter looked at her gesture and immediately understood what she meant, then quickly put down the club and trotted over.

"Shark, Shark, when did you come back?"

Skadi looked at Laurentina with some confusion.

She still can't quite understand how a shark suddenly turned into Zuo Jian, just as she can't understand how Zuo Jian suddenly turned back into a shark.

However, no matter what, Shark is still Shark, and Zuo Jian is still Zuo Jian, they are both her companions, so this kind of thing doesn’t matter.

"Why, you don't like me coming back?"

Laurentina reached out and pinched Skadi's cheek, and joked in a deliberately "threatening" tone.

“Mmmmm, no…no…”

"That's good. Okay, killer whale, we should go. Remember to change your clothes. You should have the usual hunter clothes with you, right?"

"Hunter's outfit... I see."

When Skadi heard this, she immediately realized what the other person's words meant. It was obvious that although her daily life during this period was comfortable and peaceful enough, it was not enough to make her forget everything about hunter that she had developed over a long period of time.

She moved almost without pause. After listening to Laurentina's words, she picked up the box she was carrying and walked into the locker room of the stadium.

When she opened the door again, Zuo Jian even felt that only about a minute had passed.

And one minute is enough for a hunter to change from his daily outfit to an armed one.

This was not something that was developed under Ulpian, but was a basic quality that every deep-sea hunter must have.

Of course Laurentina can do it, too.

only.....

"Shark, why don't you change?"

Skadi walked up to Laurentina, carrying a black box containing weapons and some clothes in one hand. Seeing that she was still wearing casual women's clothing, she asked unconsciously.

“Because I don’t need it.”

Laurentina glanced around and after confirming that there was no one else around except them, she raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

"Left room."

[Which set do you want?]

His voice rang out, and it seemed that the last time he interacted with Laurentina like this was in Saltwind City.

"The one we first met."

[Small problem.]

Skadi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Laurentina walking in front of her, moving the "skirt" around her clothes as she walked, wrapping her body, and then transformed into the hunter's outfit that she was familiar with, which Shark often wore.

The whole process only took a few seconds, and Laurentina even completed it while walking!

.....

"What's wrong? Skadi, why aren't you following?"

Laurentina turned around and saw Skadi behind her looking at her with envy. Then she hooked her finger, signaling him to follow.

"Oh, come, come."

Although Skadi was envious, she quickly adjusted her state.

.....When the time comes, should I tell Zuo Jian about it? She wants this too!

He can change his clothes anytime and anywhere, and it seems that he can also make weapons...

It’s so convenient!

The two quickly left the court and then found their land vehicle parked on the side of the road.

Skadi stuffed the box containing the weapon into the back seat and then opened the driver's door.

Laurentina sat in the passenger seat on the other side.

The former skillfully started the engine of the land vehicle and reversed out of the garage. His movements were even smoother than those of the man in the gray hat who was taking the Abranas sisters back to Londinium.

Maybe this is due to the special training of deep-sea hunters.

"Where to? Left room, shark."

Skadi turned around and glanced at the two people in the co-pilot seat... no, it should be said that there were only one person, Zuo Jian and Laurentina.

"Go here."
