Monster Hunter Monster Girl Story

Chapter 82 Little White

The two remained locked in this stalemate for a moment, when the aroma of the second roasting wafted over.

For a novice, getting enough to eat is very easy, but experiencing the process of baking and cooking food is a bit more difficult.

But for some reason, she could only endure it silently.

"Did Ai tell you to ignore me?"

After Li Ai finished speaking, Xiao Bai's fishtail suddenly stopped swaying, and its body stiffened, as if it had been predicted.

The reasons are not complicated.

No monster or monster girl can ignore a human who suddenly appears.

Even if a great sea dragon isn't very sensitive to land territory, it wouldn't behave like this.

In other words, Xiaobai may hate or be angry at humans, but she will never pretend not to care.

That kind of performance definitely indicates that someone is guiding you.

"Ai's real body probably wouldn't do that; it must have been Miyu who did it."

"7

The fish tail, which had just started to swing again, stopped abruptly.

Xiao Bai couldn't help but slowly turn her head to look at Li Ai.

The other party did not move from the spot, and placed several grilled, fiery-sizzling squid on the stone.

"Yes, the refresh time is just right."

Looking at his phone, he muttered something, and as if by magic, he took out more squid and started grilling them.

"The Shiranui squid from the Frozen Islands should be even bigger than this, and it also has buff effects. I wonder if it tastes even better."

By repeatedly tasting the popular giant squid, Li Ai is now confident that she can make a fairly similar replica of the sauce.

"Would you like to try some?"

"No...no! How did you know it was Ai who asked me to do this?"

Xiao Bai's voice was full of childishness, and he sounded very young.

"As far as I know, you can only come into contact with two monsters: one is Ai Haibara, and the other is the Madwoman."

"She's not a crazy woman, she's Aunt Bai."

Xiao Bai sat up and said very solemnly.

"Okay, then let's call her Aunt Bai. If Aunt Bai is normal, she won't crash into the continental shelf, right?"

"Well... I'm already trying my best to guide her."

"But it's not working very well; the other person is getting increasingly irritable, right?"

"You human! How do you know everything?!"

Little White suddenly became excited, straightened its forked tail, and stood upright on the beach.

Li Ai placed the giant squid on the grill and pointed to the heart-shaped badge on her chest: "I am Li Ai, the Hunter of Love. I know everything about monster girls."

"Okay, you're right. Aunt Bai is indeed getting more and more irritable. I can hardly recognize her anymore."

"So you've been circling the island base, looking for a sufficiently hard and large exposed mineral vein to use for impact?"

Li Ai speculated.

"Yes."

"You really went to a lot of trouble, personally testing the strength with a headbutt."

Li Ai touched her forehead and sighed.

"Actually, it's not entirely for Aunt Bai. My own situation is more serious. Xiao You told me that I must make full preparations in advance, otherwise I will go crazy because of this in the future."

Li Ai looked at the top of the other person's head, where the two horns on either side had been cut off in half, and asked curiously, "Wait, didn't Xiao Ai already find a way?"

"Ai said that she might not be able to stay with me forever, and that I have to find my own way out in case she suddenly disappears one day."

"She even considered this... You know Ai's identity, right?"

Li Ai asked tentatively.

"I know, but when I first met her, my eyes were covered by the giant horn, making it very difficult for me to eat. I thought she was one of our kind, so I ate fish under her guidance. It wasn't until the day I became human that she helped me cut the giant horn in half, and that's when I saw her for the first time."

Xiao Bai couldn't continue speaking at this point.

Li Ai realized that a large sea dragon like Xiao Bai, with its abnormally proliferating giant horns on both sides, would not normally be able to survive.

As a result, she encountered Ai, a monster girl with a skeleton dragon body, and not only successfully rescued her, but also guided her to become a monster girl as well.

Later, Xiaobai guided others and slowed down Aunt Bai's harm to the ecosystem.

In other words, the emergence of the monster girl has triggered a chain reaction that has led to the current situation.

Although the overall trend is positive and Moga Village has more opportunities for development, the crisis has not yet been resolved.

"Then why are you helping Aunt Bai?"

Li Ai couldn't quite understand this, after all, even Xiao Ai wanted to stay away from that crazed sea dragon.

"Because before that, she noticed my abnormality. When I was normal, she was actively trying to help me, and even brought me a school of fish to eat."

Xiao Bai emphasized the word "eat" as his gaze fell on the sizzling giant squid on the grill.

"It was refreshed at midnight, so I baked too much. Why don't you have some too?"

Li Ai had never tried feeding Gu Long before.

Now that I have the opportunity, of course I should give it a try.

"Okay, but don't tell Xiaoyou, she won't even let me talk to you."

Little White lay down and crawled over, twisting its body.

The moment it hit the ground, Li Ai felt the island surface tremble twice.

"Ah~ Ooh~"

As soon as Xiaobai opened its mouth, the entire squid was instantly sucked in.

It seemed to have been swallowed without much chewing.

"It's really delicious!"

Little White's webbed hands held its cheeks, and its tail slapped rapidly, causing the island's surface to tremble.

Seeing the barbecue grill that had been set up tilting and falling over, Li Ai quickly reached out to help it up.

"Sorry, I was just too happy!"

Xiao Bai immediately stopped all actions.

"It's alright, but if you encounter humans or ships at sea, please don't touch them easily, as they may not be able to withstand it."

Li Ai reminded her.

He felt that she was different from other monster girls who wouldn't pose much of a threat if they didn't actively use their abilities.

The giant sea dragon can cause disasters simply by moving around on land.

"Miyu also said this to me, but what she meant was that killing humans would trigger tracking and investigation, which would make my situation worse. And since my situation is already like this, provoking humans would only make things more difficult."

"Is this why she won't let you talk to me?"

Li Ai asked tentatively.

"No, that's not it. She said you're too good at fooling monster girls, I can't resist, and I'll definitely be used by you."

After saying that, Xiaobai covered her mouth, seemingly regretting it.

"I'm lying to the monster girl? Am I... This is cooked just right, let's eat it while it's hot."

After eating more than ten squid in a row, Xiaobai showed no signs of being full.

Li Ai could only feed him other snacks, which he accepted without hesitation, as if his stomach were a bottomless pit.

After putting down the last empty AD calcium milk bottle, Xiaobai still looked at Li Ai with anticipation.

"there is none left."

"Thank you for your hospitality. I've had enough rest. Goodbye."

"Wait, there's something else I need to discuss."

Li Ai presented the commission.

Do you have a human you admire?

"No... there isn't one."

Faced with the strange question, Big White quickly shook his head.

"Would you be interested in learning more about someone who enjoys fishing, diving, hunting, or participating in hot spring endurance competitions?"

"No, these are just human hobbies."

"So you probably don't remember the man who's always fishing at the port of Moga Village either?"

Having lost all hope, Li Ai asked one last question.

"You mean him? I saw he couldn't catch any fish all day, so I baited one for him."

"Oh! And you?"

"I have no other recollection of that."

Xiao Bai said frankly.

"Thank you. The other party admires you very much, so they asked me for my opinion."

Li Ai felt it was time for Pontos's dream to end.

At midday, the sky is blue with white clouds and the water is rippling.

Li Ai rowed the small boat back to Moga Village.

The news of Bai Hailong's successful subjugation has spread throughout the village.

Although the commission has not yet been officially certified, Li Ai is being treated like a hero.

Not only did the boatmen not charge them, but the local children also offered their treasured shellfish as a sign of respect.

With everyone watching, the guild seal was pressed down.

The five-star emergency commission for the "Overlord of the Two Realms" has been completed.

According to the hunter promotion standards, you can become a five-star hunter by completing two more four-star key commissions.

Village chief Mode and other village chiefs came to express their gratitude, but Li Ai felt unworthy of it.

After all, this subjugation mainly relied on the terrifying deterrent power of the skeleton dragon, and he himself did not risk too much.

"Li Ai, is it true that Bai Hailong will never attack Moga Village again?"

After the village chief and the others dispersed, they still prepared to learn more about the process.

"No, if it could, it would stay away from this area forever."

"Is the change that drastic...?"

Village Chief Mode was somewhat puzzled.

The sea area where the Skeleton Dragon, the crazed Great Sea Dragon, and the Nether Sea Dragon coexist is a place where even slightly experienced monsters would not choose to live for long.

However, Li Ai did not tell the village chief everything, because telling him would only cause him worry and would have no other effect.

"What does that white sea dragon think of me?"

"It hasn't been able to be female yet, but judging from the meaning it conveys, Bai Hailong still really wants to settle things with you. I just don't know why you didn't go."

Mode straightened his hunched back and then laughed.

"Heh, hunters can't escape the passage of time after all. But it doesn't matter. I'm already very satisfied to see Moga Village as it is today."

Mode looked at the large number of ships beside the pier and nodded with satisfaction.

The monsters he had fought with for half his life had not forgotten him. The village he had protected was now relatively peaceful and was gradually moving towards prosperity.

His life as both village chief and hunter had come to a perfect end at this point.

After seeing the old village chief off and leaving the open-air guild, Li Ai went to the counter and handed over a missing person request titled "Silver Girl in the Sea" to A Xia.

A-Xia's smile froze, and her expression became tense.

This is nothing like that all-around receptionist who could hold multiple positions.

Of course, the goal of the commission is to find and ask questions, not to actually establish anything.

But in A-Sha's view, no girl could resist the pursuit of a five-star village hunter.

"Sigh~ The missing person request requires the person making the request to be present for verification. Kazan, go and call Mr. Pontos over."

Ah Xia sighed and spoke towards the counter.

The Ailu named Kazan leaned the broom in her paw against the wall and scrambled out of the guild.

"Which village or town in the surrounding area is she from?"

As Xia tidied up the commission, she asked casually.

"Not a villager."

"Is that a primitive tribe?"

"No, she lives alone in the wild."

Li Ai described it as best she could.

"If she never comes to villages for supplies, her survival skills in the wild must be extraordinary... Is she skilled at hunting at sea?"

"They are very skilled at it, and sometimes they can even bring a good harvest to the Ailu tribes along the coast."

Upon hearing this, A-Xia's gaze darkened.

"No wonder Mr. Pontos admired her so much... We're doomed."

"Don't be so down, she doesn't have feelings for Pontos."

"Oh no! How could this happen?"

Ah Xia was incredulous, as if she were about to jump out of the counter.

"I don't know either, maybe it's because she's a monster girl?"

Li Ai stated the most likely deduction.

"Monster girl...monster girl, hehe."

As Xia muttered to herself, she suddenly laughed unconsciously, but the smile quickly froze.

"Li Ai, do you think there are any humans in this world who would fall in love with monsters?"

The top experts were right outside the counter, and Ah Xia certainly couldn't miss the opportunity.

"It's hard to say, but there probably will be."

"But the probability is very low, it can't be that coincidental, right?"

Asa asked cautiously.

"Of course, otherwise I would have been a famous celebrity long ago."

Upon hearing this, A-Xia's face quickly regained its confident smile.

"Mr. Pontos! Over here!"

Hearing the call, Pontos, still in his pajamas, came to the counter.

Seeing the application displayed on the counter, he took a deep breath, straightened his back, and asked, "You submitted the verification before the deadline, so you must have found it, right?"

"That's right, my identity has been confirmed, and I've asked you the questions."

"Then please let me know."

Li Ai then recounted the entire situation of Dahailong Xiaobai.

When Pontos heard that the silver-haired girl he had been longing for was actually a female version of a giant sea dragon, his pupils trembled violently.

However, that wasn't the end of it. When he heard that the mad sea dragon had gone mad because its eyes were being covered by its giant horns and that it would crash into the continental shelf, he was completely stunned.

Xia, who was originally nervous, was now full of surprise.

"The commission has been completed. Let's proceed with the verification, Xia."

Pontos groped around behind him for a moment, found a wine barrel, and slumped down on it.

Leaning on the counter with one hand, he lowered his head for a long time before calming down, and said weakly, "Moga Village is simply powerless to resist that kind of monster."

The Great Sea Dragon won't land directly and pose a threat to Moga Village, but the earthquakes and tsunamis it can trigger, if they don't come frequently, will only lead to its eventual demise by sinking into the sea.

"If the other party is Gu Long, we should immediately write to the guild headquarters for help!"

Following the guild's charter, Asha quickly came up with a solution.

"Boats have a hard time dealing with the Great Sea Dragon, and the team that is best at underwater hunting is actually in Moga Village."

Li Ai reminded her.

Sene and Sikor are indeed top hunters, but the teams they lead are not skilled in underwater hunting and combat.

The most professional team right now is the Sea Team led by Ponto.

"Does this mean we have to evacuate everyone...?"

Realizing that guild support would be ineffective, Ashia considered abandoning the evacuation option from Moga Village.

This seemingly rational decision was unacceptable not only to the villagers who had persevered for generations in their struggle against nature, but also to her, the receptionist.

"I have a plan, it's a bit risky."

At this moment, Li Ai opened her mouth.
