The Carer of Cubs Chapter 2

After walking through the door, Finn Xie saw the environment inside more clearly.

The area of     this nursing association looks large, but it is very empty. There are only a few main buildings, and the other open spaces seem to be just idle.

Most of the rusty iron gate at the entrance has not been replaced, and there is no guard near the gate. The flower beds and lawns on the roadside look like they have not been trimmed for a long time... Finn Xie went to that which should be an office building. Walking around the place, the closer I got, the more worried I felt.

It's not what he said. The financial situation of this cub care association is probably not very good. Even if the correct way to save the world is to let him work here as a childcare worker, why does Finn Xie feel that this place is in danger of closing down at any time?

No matter, let’s apply for the job first.

Shaking the messy thoughts out of his head, Finn Xie stood in front of a wooden door with an office sign, raised his right hand and knocked twice gently.

"Knock knock."

After the crisp knock on the door, it took about three or four seconds before a slightly hesitant response came from the office, "Please come in."

So Finn Xie turned the door handle and walked in.

Humanity...?

Seeing the human young man walking in, the girl who was sitting at the desk and counting this month's income and expenditure was obviously stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted, stood up and asked politely: "Hello, sir, are you here?" ...?"

The young girl who asked the question was pretty, with two small antennae on her head that occasionally swayed slightly when she spoke, and her eyes had obvious vertical pupils.

Although Finn Xie also saw many non-human races on the way here led by the golden ball of light, such close contact and conversation with alien races was still too novel an experience for Finn Xie for the time being. My mood at this time was a little more ups and downs.

Putting aside the fact that he was forced to travel through time, from the perspective of an art creator, Finn Xie actually found this experience very interesting, and the novel experience could inspire him a lot.

"Apply." Finn Xie replied aloud, and at the same time he put the piece of paper he had taken off the iron door on the desk in front of him, "I saw this recruitment notice posted on the door."

She didn't expect this answer at all. The antennae on the girl's head suddenly trembled, her face full of surprise.

The recruitment notice has been posted at the door for several months. Of course, it has been posted in other places on the street, but in the past few months, no one has come to apply for the job. In fact, she and the president have given up on recruiting people. Hope.

If the salary is high, of course there is no need to worry about recruiting people, but the problem is that their association has no money! The salary package given is 1,800 credits per month. As for additional benefits, such as year-end bonuses... there are none. The only thing that can be considered good is that it includes food and accommodation.

Most people can find a job that pays more than this amount. Besides, being a childcare worker is a very hard job, and it is even more difficult to recruit new employees.

Now that someone is finally willing to apply for the job, Avery Xia is of course very happy, but the young man in front of her is a human... As far as she knows, there is probably no cub care association in the entire galaxy that hires human caregivers.

This is not because of any prejudice against the human race, but because of objective reasons.

Once without special weapons and equipment, humans are very weak. This is almost the consensus of all non-human races in the interstellar.

Even when facing cubs of other races, this matter is already quite dangerous for humans. So normally, the Conservation Association would not hire human caregivers, and generally no human would think of applying for a role as a caregiver at the Cub Conservation Association.

"I'm going to call the old president, please wait here for a while." After thinking for a moment, Avery Xia responded decisively. She is just an ordinary employee here, and the recruitment is not hers. Decide.

"Okay." Finn Xie nodded.

After the people left, Finn Xie idly raised his hand to poke the golden ball of light floating beside him. This ball of light is invisible to others. Finn Xie had already determined this when walking on the road.

Finn Xie didn't have to wait long. Avery Xia quickly brought an old man with gray hair over. This old man had the same tentacles as Avery Xia's head. This is a defining characteristic of the Elise race.

Except for the antennae and vertical pupils, the appearance of the Elise people can be said to be very similar to humans, and they are more oriental in appearance. Even the naming styles are similar--but in terms of physical functions, the two races are different. But it's not even close.

"I heard from Xiaoqi that you want to apply here to be a childcare worker. Have you really thought about it?" The old president looked at the human young man in front of him first, and then said, "The specific salary is the amount written on the recruitment form. , no other additional benefits."

The base of the Earth Federation is very far away from this planet. There are not many humans who come all the way to Gaia. Generally, most of the humans who come to this planet are businessmen. But since the young man in front of him is applying for a job as a childcare worker, he obviously does not meet this requirement.

Finn Xie nodded and responded, then added: "It's good as long as food and accommodation are included. I will work hard."

Finn Xie said this without hesitation. He was forced to travel to this world, and he is currently penniless and extremely poor.

If this job did not include food and accommodation, then Finn Xie felt that he might have to sleep on the street today, which would make everyone sad and cry...

When Finn Xie said this, he was telling the two of them his current situation in disguise. As expected, both of them quickly understood the meaning of his words, and their expressions suddenly became somewhat clear.

After roughly knowing the young man's situation, since the nursing association was really short of manpower, the old president didn't ask many other questions. After simply asking his name, he signed the contract to Finn Xie.

After Finn Xie signed the contract, the young girl who had been watching quietly showed a smile on her face, "Then we will be colleagues from now on. Just call me Xiaoqi like the president. The staff dormitory is on the far left I'll take you to find a spare room in that house and tidy it up later, so you can move in today."

"Well, thank you." Finn Xie frowned slightly and thanked her sincerely.

The young man is good-looking, and when he bends his eyebrows, there is always a softness that reaches people's hearts, and his thanks appear to be particularly sincere.

Before going to the staff dormitory, Avery Xia and the old president led the young people to familiarize themselves with the work place and explained their usual work content. The place where the childcare workers work daily is right next to the staff dormitory, so it happens to be easy to get there.

The workplace is right next to it, where the cubs that need care are, and it's the largest building in the middle. There is a large courtyard in front of the house, which is also where the cubs usually go for outdoor activities.

Although there are basically no decorations in the yard, only a few trees and flowers are planted, and a few rockery stones are placed next to it. It is far from unique, but it still looks like someone is taking care of it.

It's not the time for activities yet, and normally no cubs can be seen in the yard. But just when Finn Xie and his party just stepped into the yard, a cry full of fear came over, and at the same time, there were also There was a very hoarse growl.

The screams were made by a childcare worker, an adult male who, like Shaki, is a Sevillaan. The opponent's face was blue with fright, and he was running forward desperately. When he saw Finn Xie and others in the distance, he immediately shouted as if he saw a savior: "Help, help me---!"

Chasing behind the opponent was a huge non-human creature. Its body looked cold and solid, and its forearms, which seemed sharper than sharp knives, obviously had powerful attack power. The spikes shot from the opponent's body penetrate deeply into the ground. There is no doubt that once they hit, these spikes can easily pierce the prey's body.

The scarlet vertical pupils are very ferocious and emotionless. This terrifying and dangerous creature pursues the fleeing people at extremely fast moving speeds. As if treating the opponent as prey that needs to be torn into pieces, the vertical pupils locked on the opponent's body shrink into a thin line.

Regardless of whether it would affect others, after seeing the few people entering the courtyard, the fleeing people immediately ran towards them.

"Oops, this cub is..." Even though she had been a nursery nurse for almost five years, this scene still made Avery Xia panic.

This is a cub of the Milo tribe--due to a relative lack of intelligence, knowing basically nothing except fighting, and being unable to advance into humanoid form, the Milo tribe is considered an inferior race in the interstellar world.

But this race does have strong combat effectiveness and survivability. They themselves are cold and sharp weapons, and they are extremely ferocious in battle. If it were purely about hand-to-hand combat ability, I am afraid that no race in the entire galaxy could match the Milo clan.

And even if it's just a cub, a Milo cub has considerable fighting ability.

Cub? Although it was inappropriate, Finn Xie couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes slightly at this moment.

He's just a cub, and he's grown so big? ?

But soon, Finn Xie no longer had time to complain in his heart.

"Run!" Avery Xia's expression changed when she found that her colleague was running towards them with the furious Milo cub.

This Milo cub is now six months old. In the past six months, the other party has been relatively stable. Avery Xia does not understand why this Milo cub suddenly shows aggression.

But they couldn't cope with this situation, so they could only run away first, and wait until the Milo cub calmed down a little before they could consider approaching it. If we meet him head-on now, something will happen.

As a Elise native, Avery Xia only knew that human beings would not have much fighting power without weapons and equipment, but she did not expect that even the ability to escape would be basically zero.

In fact, Finn Xie had already used the 100-meter sprint speed that he had not used for many years to run with the opponent. As a normal human being, this speed was already the limit of his efforts. It's just that it seems slow compared to the alien race whose physical fitness is like cheating.

He soon landed at the very end, and he could hear the low roar coming from behind, which seemed to be getting closer and closer. A little sweat broke out on Finn Xie's forehead, and his heart was beating under his chest. Not entirely because of the dangerous situation, but also because of the strenuous exercise.

He couldn't run, but after a while, a gust of wind blew by. Finn Xie accidentally tripped over an obstacle covered by the grass and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

The next second, the Milo cub, which had already caught up from behind, pounced on him and completely trapped him.

Although the target of the pursuit was not the young man at first, the irritated Milo cub did not hesitate to pounce on the young man after he caught up with him and stumbled.

Being stuck to the ground by the forearm that was as sharp as a blade, Finn Xie faced a pair of fierce and cold scarlet vertical pupils. The moment their eyes met, Finn Xie heard that this bird was easily heartbreaking from its appearance. The fearful creature growled menacingly at him.

Finn Xie: ... I died young.

Seeing that the neck and head of the young man stuck on the ground were about to be separated in minutes, everyone who turned back and saw this scene had their hearts in their throats.

No way, is it possible that the contract has just been signed and this new colleague will be gone ---? !

Extremely anxious but with no way to save people, Avery Xia did not dare to act rashly as she looked at the young man whose neck was stuck by the Milo cub. Now she could only try her best to show the Milo cub that she meant no harm and try her best to convey the message not to hurt others.

But her actions seemed to have no effect. The Milo cub remained unmoved at all. It still growled in a threatening voice from its throat, its vertical pupils constricting. Especially when he saw a figure cowering at the back, the aggression of this Milo cub became even more obvious.

Probably aware of this, Avery Xia had no choice but to grit her teeth and prepare to rescue people by force, but just when she took a step forward, she heard the young man's voice.

"do not come."

After swallowing a few times, Finn Xie managed to slow down the thumping in his chest and at the same time calm down his breathing that was a bit rapid due to the strenuous running. Then he said: "You guys stay away..."

Finn Xie said this for a reason. He had already observed that the hostility of the Milo cub was actually more directed at the nurseryman who was huddled behind. And when he has already been tackled, others approaching will only further irritate the other party.

Since the other party did not separate his neck and head immediately after catching him and calm down, Finn Xie believed that there was still a lot of room for improvement.

After everyone retreated, Finn Xie took the initiative to face the pair of scarlet vertical pupils staring at him, and seriously looked at this dangerous creature that looked quite scary in appearance.

This is not some kind of momentum showdown. Under the gaze of those scarlet eyes, Finn Xie raised his right hand that could still move freely, carefully touched the sharp object stuck next to his neck in the other person's sight, and touched it lightly, " good..."

It's more coaxing than comforting. While doing this series of actions, Finn Xie never looked away from the Milo cub.

When being coaxed gently by the young man, this dangerous creature seemed to have stopped all its movements for a moment, and the constricted pupils in its scarlet eyes seemed to relax slightly, but it still looked very fierce.

"Baby, be good." With a gentle tone, Finn Xie continued to coax. It felt cold to the touch, and the sharp forearm he touched was like a real sharp knife. It was very dangerous to the naked eye, but Finn Xie was not afraid of the contact and did not stop his comforting movements.

Regardless of whether it looks dangerous or scary, this is a cub.

The cub is only six months old and of course cannot understand language. But even if you can't understand the language, you will have a vague concept when you are treated gently.

It was the first time that he was coaxed like this. Both the young man's voice and his movements conveyed a warm feeling. The Milo cub who threw the young man to the ground gradually restrained his aggression.

Not understanding what "baby is good" meant, and hearing these three syllables for the first time, the Milo cub instinctively responded with a few sounds from its throat.

It was still a hoarse voice, but it conveyed no threat, just a simple response.

Moving its sharp forearm away from the young man's neck without moving too far, the Milo cub stared motionlessly at the young man's right hand.

Because his body is cold, the temperature of the young man's palms seems particularly warm. This Milo cub actually likes this kind of temperature that he has only experienced sporadic times in his memory since birth.

The sharp object stuck to the side of his neck finally moved away, and Finn Xie's body, which was slightly stiff at first, now completely relaxed.

He couldn't tell why, but since he started to coax the cub, Finn Xie basically no longer felt afraid in his heart. But now that his hand was being stared at, Finn Xie, who had already mastered the skill of coaxing cubs without any teacher, understood almost instantly. He naturally raised his hand and touched the Milo cub.

Just touching, Finn Xie felt a little short of breath, "Ahem..."

To be honest, the large cub that jumped on him was really heavy---

At this time, before Finn Xie could make another sound, the large cub that was pressing heavily on the young man seemed to understand something. While continuing to stare at the young man with his vertical pupils, he slowly moved his body away.

They have all entered a state of fighting, and this Milo cub is actually willing to take the initiative to let go of the prey... Seeing clearly the change of things, the three people who were sweating for Finn Xie in the distance are now together. Qi froze on the spot.

And looking at the next development, they were really stunned.

After standing up from the grass, Finn Xie didn't make any move to escape. He just stood there and put his hand into his pocket and groped around. He remembered that he had a milk candy in his pocket.

It can be regarded as a personal quirk. Finn Xie feels that when he is painting, he can be more inspired by eating sweets, so he always carries a few candies on his body.

After peeling off the candy wrapper, Finn Xie did not put the candy into his mouth. Instead, he stood on tiptoes and raised his hands to feed the milk candy to the large cub in front of him.

After coaxing people, you have to give them some actual action. Even though he was coaxing a cub from a non-human race now, Finn Xie felt that this principle was still universal.

"This is the only property I have in my body." Finn Xie didn't change his expression when he saw the sharp teeth with strong bite force at first glance. He fed the candy on his hand into the mouth of the Milo cub in front of him. After feeding He also made fun of himself.

Finn Xie didn't lie either. Apart from this milk candy, he really couldn't bring anything else with him now. This toffee was only about the size of a finger, so Finn Xie was actually embarrassed to take it out to comfort the cubs.

It seems a bit too stingy...

A toffee was too small for the Milo cub, and it couldn't even fit between its teeth. Originally, he wanted to swallow it directly, but a hint of sweetness filled the air and he was reluctant to swallow it.

"Like it?" Finn Xie smiled slightly as he looked at the Milo cub that no longer showed any obvious aggression and was even a little quiet.

Could this be the cub's first time eating candy? Finn Xie couldn't help but think so, remembering what he had observed about the financial situation of the nursing association since he walked in the door.

Hearing the young man's voice, the Milo cub, who had been motionless and carefully feeling the sweetness, quickly followed it again.

What is good-looking and what is not good-looking? Lower races that lack intelligence have no corresponding concepts in this regard.

But at this moment, the soft smile on the young man's face and the brilliance in his eyes reflected a sparkling feeling in the scarlet vertical pupils of the Milo cub. It was very beautiful, attracting it to get closer.

And this large cub did just that. Not knowing how to nuzzle the young man, it finally lowered its head and gently arched into the young man's arms.

The warm body temperature on the young man's body was like the remaining warmth left on the eggshell when it had just broken out of its shell and was born. This temperature gave the Milo cub a sense of security. So when it moved into the young man's arms, it made a low sound.

The dangerous creature that acted ferocious and cruel just now lowered its head to express its closeness to the young man, like a good baby who listens to the parents. Although the appearance still looks dangerous and terrifying, the Milo cub staying next to the young man seems to have a kind of docility. Feel.

God knows how the word "docile" can be associated with the cubs of the Milo tribe. The three people in the distance have been stunned for a while, and they are still doubting their own eyes.

Even if you are a gold-medal caregiver who has obtained the S-level qualification and is being sought after by cub care associations on various planets, it may be difficult to make a Milo cub that has entered combat status be so obedient. At best, Forcibly subdued.

But the Milo cub in front of them is now actively lowering its head and rubbing against the young man!

He didn't know that he had done something unbelievable in the eyes of others. As a human who fought against the five Sc*m, Finn Xie was gently pushed by the large cub in front of him... and he sat down with a plop. on the ground.

Hiss... B*tt hurts!

Finn Xie grinned in pain, but he refrained from making a sound and only reached out to touch the Milo cub, which seemed to want to hump him.

When it was thrust into his arms, the large cub in front of him, which looked like a dangerous creature, acted very cautiously, retracting its sharp forearms back and not daring to thrust with too much force... .

Although he felt that the script he received was not quite right at first, Finn Xie thought that he did not dislike the script.
