One man and one dog, wandering in the world of Monster Hunter

Link slowly raised his head and stared at the row of windows of the guest rooms on the second floor of the gathering place.

The five windows were like watchful eyes, quietly embedded in the old building. Three of the windows were half open, as if silently inviting the arrival of uninvited guests.

A gleam flashed in Link's eyes, and he chose the lit window in the middle as his target without hesitation.

He gently opened his backpack, which looked ordinary but was actually filled with props. His fingers gently slid across the props.

Finally, he stopped at a certain prop and carefully took it out.

This is one of the specialties sent back by his father Lieyan from the New World.

Hook Thrower.

This hook thrower is cleverly designed and tightly integrated into the forearm, like an extension of the arm.

Its shell is made of high-strength composite material with a dark gray metallic luster. It feels solid and light. The entire device has smooth lines and a sense of technology. The main part of the projector is about 20 centimeters long, with a circular launch port with a diameter of five centimeters at the front.

There are four metal claws around the launching port, which are shaped like eagle claws, sharp and powerful. These four claws can be extended and retracted to adjust the length of the grappling hook as needed. Below the launching port, there is a detachable ammunition compartment for loading stones or other projectiles.

Whether it is for traveling at home, killing monsters and robbing goods, or climbing over the window of the widow next door, it is an extremely useful prop.

As if she had guessed what Link was going to do, she nimbly climbed onto his shoulders and firmly grasped the scarf around his neck.

This cat is good in every way except that it doesn't like to talk, which gives Link a headache.

Fortunately, being well-behaved and cute is more important than anything else, and being quiet is a plus.

After all, the character of the "three-no" girl who is silent, heartless and expressionless is quite likable.

Link wears the grappling hook launcher on his left forearm. The launcher is on the inside of the forearm and has a soft pad to fix the launcher so that it fits tightly against the arm.

The pad material is comfortable and fits the skin, so it will not cause discomfort even if worn for a long time. There is an adjustable strap above the pad, which is convenient for hunters to adjust according to the thickness of their arms.

Link aimed his grappling hook at a beam protruding from above and tapped the invisible button hidden on the outside with his right hand.

With a light "whoosh" sound, the grappling hook cut through the air like an arrow from a bow, and with amazing speed and accuracy, it hooked onto the rough surface of the beam above. Four metal claws bloomed in an instant, tightly clasping the beam.

A tough and thin rope was firmly fixed at the tail of the hook. After Link pressed the button again, the internal mechanism quickly retracted the rope and dragged Link's body upwards.

"clatter."

With one hand he nimbly climbed up the window sill, and after retracting his hook with the other hand, Link turned over and took Chu Chu into the guest room on the second floor of the clubhouse.

The guest room is not spacious, but it is warmly and elegantly decorated. The walls are hung with elegant floral wallpaper, exuding a faint fragrance.

A bronze table lamp is placed on the small table, casting a soft warm light, adding a bit of warmth to this small space.

The furniture in the guest room is simple and practical. A double bed takes up most of the space. The bedding on the bed is neatly folded and decorated with exquisite lace on the edges.

There are several books and a night light on the bedside table, which provides convenience for night reading.

"Huh~huh~huh~"

At this moment, a faint light shone through the gap of the tightly closed bathroom door, accompanied by the sound of rushing water, and someone could be vaguely heard humming a song.

The heat in the bathroom gradually spread, making the air outside the door a little humid.

It also moistened Link's back.

"Damn, why is there someone here?"

Link cursed inwardly, and even Chuchu gave him a surprised look, her watery eyes seemed to say.

"I didn't expect you to be such a master."

Seeing that there was someone in the room, Link immediately became careful in his movements so that the woman in the bathroom wouldn't hear him.

If he was caught on the spot, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even with Chu Chu's testimony.

Link tiptoed all the way to the door, not daring to look around.

He didn't dare to look at the lace panties scattered on the bed, the black stockings hanging on the back of the chair, or the red frankincense bra dropped on the ground.

I gently turned the door handle and the door opened a crack silently.

After making sure that there was no one in the corridor, Link walked out slowly and closed the door gently, fearing to disturb the beauty in the room.

"Ness."

Having successfully escaped the crisis of social death, Link clenched his fist and cheered.

"Who's out there!"

However, it was this cheer that made the person who was taking a shower in the room hear the noise and shout out loud.

The voice scared Link, but he thought about it and came up with an idea.

"Dong dong dong."

"Ms. Rias, you're there. There's a party going on downstairs and Ms. Luna asked me to come up and call you."

Link knocked on the door. When he was inside the room, he recognized that it was Rias's voice from the humming, so he said this.

"I know, I'll come right away."

"Okay, I'll go down and talk to them."

Having gotten away with it, Link breathed a sigh of relief and left the place quietly.

As for whether the lie will be exposed...

As long as you are not caught in the act, it is not a crime.

Thirty minutes later.

Rias walked out of the steamy bathroom, wearing only a light bath towel, revealing her curvy figure.

There were crystal drops of water hanging at the ends of her hair, like bright red agate.

Her eyes fell on the room, where a large golden retriever squatted, with hair as fluffy as a lion, and the warm light cast mottled shadows on it.

"..."

Rias stood there quietly, staring at the golden retriever. For a moment, the whole room seemed to be frozen in this quiet silence, with only the subtle sound of water droplets sliding down and the steady breathing of Matsutake interweaving into a peaceful melody.

"Wang?"

The dog let out a soft cry in confusion.

It's as if it's saying, "What are you looking at? I've never seen such a handsome dog."

Ignoring the dog, Rias gently pulled the towel to make sure it fit her body and wouldn't slip off accidentally before walking over to the wide open window and looking out.

On the beam outside the house, there was a clear dog paw print. It was obvious that the dog jumped in from outside the house.

Next to the claw marks are a series of tiny grappling hook marks.

"interesting."

Rias stood by the window, staring at the grappling hook mark for a moment, a small smile blooming on her lips.

Her laughter carries a natural charm and seduction that will unconsciously arouse men's desire.

Then, she turned to face the dog, and the smile on her face became even brighter and more charming, scaring the dog so much that he shrank into the corner.
