Cub Raising Association

At this time, Xilorin and Gaia are in the same season, which is midsummer.

In the central city of Xilorin Star, the originally bright sky was gradually covered by clouds, and the thick black clouds blocked the sunlight, making the city dim.

Although the raindrops have not yet fallen, judging from the sky, this seems to be a sign of heavy rain.

From the moment the first drop of rain fell, a gust of torrential rain fell on the city in an instant, enveloping the city in a curtain of rain.

When it was just getting dark, Morrison glanced at the weather outside the window.

The cub Riley who was pattering next to his legs was more sensitive to the weather change, and seemed to be scared. The cub spread its wings like short hands on both sides of its body to hug the adult trouser legs, and put the body in the past.

Originally, he was going to use a feeding bottle to make milk powder for the cub, but seeing the situation, Morrison had to bend down again to pick up the cub.

As soon as the adult picked it up, the Riley cub slid into the embrace of the adult who was holding it, buried its head low in front of the latter's chest, and its body covered with thick down began to tremble slightly.

Following a flash of thunder, a second later, the rumble of thunder exploded in the sky, and the cub Riley, who was trembling with fear in the adult's arms, also had a more obvious reaction.

"Gu! Guji—"

The originally drooping wings began to flutter. The cub flapped its fins in the arms of the adult who was holding it, and made a tender and crisp cry when flapping the pair of fins.

"Don't be afraid." Said these two words in a steady voice, and adjusted his posture, Morrison reluctantly patted the fluffy back of the cub in his arms with his right hand that was holding the cub.

There is no gentle expression on his face, but the man in the uniform of the Star Alliance can indeed be said to be patiently taking care of the cub in his arms. It is absolutely unbelievable.

He didn't know how to coax the cub. When the cub Riley was frightened by the thunder, Morrison basically only knew how to hold the cub like this.

He won't say much to coax the cub, so he hugged the cub a little tighter, and Morrison repeated the word "don't be afraid" just now.

Probably finally felt a sense of security from the comforting sound and the pat on the back, and the Riley cub, which buried its head in the adult's arms, slowly stopped trembling.

But still not completely at ease, the cub instinctively continued to flap its small wings on the adult, in order for the person holding it to pat its back along the way just now.

In this rainy weather, the pain in Morrison's severed arm will suddenly become several times more pronounced. Enduring the clear pain without changing his face, the soldier who is about to retire moves his right hand to touch the cub in his arms back.

The inconvenience of having only one arm became apparent at this moment. Now that the cub had to be held, Morrison would not be able to spare his hand to prepare food for the cub.

The retirement application submitted to the military was quickly approved, and only two days later, after completing the corresponding procedures, Morrison received a reply from his superiors.

After all, he voluntarily applied for retirement on the grounds of physical disability. Even if the higher-ups value his abilities and want to keep him, the application will be approved in this case.

I chose a sunny day to go out, and booked a starship flight ticket to Gaia for myself and the cub in the house in advance. Morrison carried the Riley cub to the airport of Xilorin on this day .

"Cuckoo?" With a soft and clear cry, the cub Riley, nestled in the adult's arms, raised his head to the starship not far away, with obvious doubts in his childish voice.

This is the second time the cub has seen a giant mech of this type, the first being before it was brought to this planet.

Do the parents want to take it somewhere else? This is what the cub thinks now.

"Go to a cub care club, there are many babies around your age." The voice explained rigidly, and Morrison carried the Riley cub onto the starship.

But he didn't let the cub nest in the bed-like cub seat. Morrison continued to hold the cub in his arms after boarding the starship.

The cub in my arms should be almost two years old now. At this age, a normal family usually starts to look for a suitable cub care club for the cub at home.

It was also in consideration of this matter that Morrison made the decision to take the cub to Gaia.

As for why Star Gaia was chosen, it has something to do with a piece of news that circulated in the Star Alliance not long ago.

It was two days after the commercial starship arrived at Gaia from Xilorin. On this afternoon, Zarad was teaching the cubs basic combat as usual, and he took the cubs back to the living room from the courtyard. Zarad was indeed taken aback by a familiar face he suddenly saw in the room.

"You guys know each other." It's not hard to understand the expression on Zarad's face, Xie Tao didn't use a questioning tone when he said this.

Xie Tao had just received a visitor, and before he had time to speak to the other party, Zarad just happened to come over.

To Xie Tao's words, Zarad nodded in affirmation. The surprised expression on his face has not faded yet, which shows how surprised he was to see this familiar face in the Rainbow Dash branch.

Especially when he saw the opponent's empty left arm, Zarad's astonishment was heightened even more, let alone the fact that the opponent was holding a cub.

"See you for a long time, General." Morrison said this sentence in a steady tone, originally aimed at the other party.

It was precisely because of the information circulated within the Star Alliance that the former commander served in this branch that Morrison chose this cub care branch named Rainbow without any search and selection.

"Why do you come here from Xilorin when you have time? It's still a working day. The military department has a conscience to give you a holiday?" Zarad asked, and immediately followed up with another sentence, " This cub...how did you get this arm?"

What level of dangerous mission must be performed to make the other party lose an arm, Zarad really can't imagine.

In addition to the regular troops of the Star Alliance Army, some special forces soldiers with special abilities will be incorporated into the special forces code-named "X". This force often appears on the battlefield as an assault force, or is dispatched by the military to complete certain special tasks.

In the ranking of members of this special force, Morrison has only been exchanged between the first and second places.

"The application for retirement has been submitted, and the headquarters has passed it. The arm..." Morrison replied truthfully, and paused slightly when he said the last two words, "Accident."

Accidentally lost an arm?

What the other party said in one stroke sounded too light and flirtatious, and disbelief floated in Zarad's eyes almost immediately.

The other party is not an ordinary person, and can be injured in an accident casually, but the friendship between the two has not yet reached the level that can be traced to the bottom, so Zarad nodded and skipped the topic at this time.

When the two were talking, Xie Tao didn't bother, he turned his attention to the cub that was held in the arms of the person in front with one hand.

According to the content in the "Cub Encyclopedia", Xie Tao knew that the cub nestled in the arms of the adult in front was a Riley cub, and it was the same as what he saw in the book. Much like a fat little penguin.

Because the body of the cub was covered with a lot of fluff, Xie Tao saw that this Riley cub was also hairy. Judging from the round and slightly bulging belly of this cub, this Riley The cubs should be well fed and cared for at home.

After finishing the conversation with the old acquaintance, Morrison bent down and gently put the cub in his arms on the ground, intentionally letting the cub explore this new environment by itself.

But Morrison's idea failed to come true. In Xie Tao's eyes, the Riley cub opened its pair of small fins after being placed on the ground, and flapped around the adult's legs in front. After spinning around twice, it finally used the pair of fins to hug the adult's trouser legs.

"This cub has no parents. I hope your branch can adopt this cub. It doesn't have to be a free adoption. I will pay the cub's annual occupancy fee." This is the purpose of Morrison's trip.

Xie Tao was just looking at the cub circling with a smile, but now that he heard the words of the person in front of him, he couldn't help but pause for a second, and said, "Aren't you its parent?"

In fact, he didn't recognize the race of the person in front of him, but Xie Tao saw that this Riley cub was obviously very close to each other, and subconsciously thought that the parents sent the cub to their branch to live in.

"No." Morrison replied. An obvious scar at the corner of his eye made his already ungentle appearance even more ferocious. He is a leading soldier who has experienced various battlefields. Comfortable.

Xie Tao was not affected by this feeling, but when the person in front said no, he saw the Riley cub, which was close to the opponent's leg, hugging the opponent's trouser leg with a pair of small fins, drooping. head.
