Mermaid Feeding Rules

One person and one fish stayed outside the nest for half the night, but because of the sensitive young mermaid in the nest not far away, they did nothing.

At noon the next day, Boyce was brought into the nest by Garcia.

The information exchange between the young mermaids in the lair was very fast. When Garcia appeared with Boyce, almost all the young mermaids knew about Boyce's existence.

Courtship is a very important event in the life of a mermaid. These young mermaids swim by Boyce and Garcia from time to time, but because the adult fish dare not approach, they look at this strange human with curiosity. In his mouth were some obscure words that Boyce could not understand.

Garcia slapped away a young mermaid who came to join in the fun. Boyce heard Garcia spit out a sentence, and his eyes swept across the surrounding mermaids. The young mermaid's dorsal fin was bent down, attached to the back, and lowered his head. Step back a little.

Boyce didn't understand the meaning of Garcia's words. Garcia led him forward and explained to him in human language: "They are just curious about you."

Garcia originally wanted to show off his partner to other mermaids. At this moment, more than half of it was dispelled, but he can't leave here now, at least it will take a few months before he can leave here with confidence and bring Boyi with him. returned to his territory.

Boyce had no objection to this, and followed Garcia to the cave where he lived when he was a child. While Garcia waited for the scars on his body to heal and fall off, he collected a lot of things nearby, ready to pack himself up 's residence.

When they arrived near the cave, the young mermaid who followed them stopped wisely.

Boyce followed Garcia in, and was still stunned when he saw the somewhat messy cave inside. The ground was covered with a layer of seaweed. Inside the cave, a pit was simply and rudely deducted by the mermaid, and Garcia was forcibly removed. The luminous thing I found was installed.

On the edge of the cave, all kinds of pearl shells and coral reefs that Garcia thought looked good were piled up in a mess.

As Boyce looked at the cave, the mermaid's tail curled up a little embarrassedly. He never thought that Hearst would do a good job after going to land and bring Boyce back for him, so he collected the Few things, but not how to organize.

Boyce spent three days with Garcia in the cave tidying up all these things, and after putting Garcia's collection together, Boyce couldn't help but be a little shocked.

These were sorted by Boyce for him and put away into the box that Garcia picked up.

Boyce picked up the last thumb-sized pearl, put it in the box, then closed the box and stood up, looking around the cave that had changed after the two had sorted it out, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart. .

At this moment, Boyce's hand was touched by the mermaid next to him.

Boyce looked at Garcia, and the mermaid's tail pushed the closed box in front of Boyce, looking at him expectantly: "Here you are."

The last time Garcia heard Boyce in that small town that he wanted to sell the house for money, he always cared about it, but he didn't have any money, only these good-looking gadgets he had collected, which he could barely give to Boyce. Pass the time.

But now these in the box are only collected by him during this period of time. There is not enough time, and there are barely so many.

The mermaid saw that Boyce didn't speak, and thought that he also felt that these things were a little out of hand, he approached Boyce, and wrapped his tail around his ankle again: "I have no money, so I can only give you these. "

"I found this place by the way while I was waiting for you. When we go to my territory, I hide more there..."

Boyce came back to his senses, and pushed the merman's head, which was resting on his body, to the side.

He explained to Garcia, who did not know much about human society: "These can be sold for money."

Hearing this, Garcia's eyes lit up and opened the box: "Then next time we go to land, you can sell these."

"I don't need it yet." Boyce shook his head. In the current situation, he and Garcia should stay on the seabed most of the time, and his savings are enough for the two to live on land for a long time.

After listening to Boyce's explanation, although Garcia felt a little regretful, he still put them away according to Boyce's meaning.

…

In a sense, life at the bottom of the sea is not much different from the days when Boyce returned to the small town where he lived, and life does not seem to be too turbulent.

When Garcia patrolled the lair, he would take Boyce with him if he didn't go too far. If it was too far, or the terrain was inconvenient for Boyce to pass by, Boyce stayed in the cave.

However, because Boyce began to learn the language of the mermaid with Garcia after reuniting with Garcia, he was not bored.

What's more, most of the time, Garcia is sticking to his side.

In this case, Boyce inevitably encountered a few young mermaids to provoke Garcia.

When Garcia was a child, he did something similar.

The most powerful young mermaids in the lair are never satisfied with the playfulness of their peers with similar strengths. After challenging other minor mermaids, they often turn their attention to their own abilities. The most powerful mermaid I have ever seen is the leader.

Taking advantage of this stage, there is no need to pay any price to challenge the leader.

If Boyce is not around, Garcia naturally doesn't mind spending time with them, but since Boyce is here now, Garcia is naturally unwilling to spend time on other mermaids.

Wouldn't it be nice for him to accompany Boyce for this time?

He simply slapped the young mermaid who was trying to provoke it with a tail, and just took over the leadership position, and just after his body recovered, he was frequently provoked and touched Garcia's face, showing a bit of impatience. smashed the stone.

After returning to the residence, Garcia noticed that Boyce seemed to be still thinking about something and didn't return to his senses.

"What are you thinking?" Garcia leaned over and asked directly.

Boyce was just thinking about the mermaid who was slapped away by Garcia's tail before. He was in a hurry to come back with Boyce, and he didn't pull back when his tail was drawn.

"It's alright." Garcia flicked his tail carelessly. Everyone came from this stage. He was shot a few times because of provoking Hearst when he was young, and it would not be a big problem. But it was enough to stop the group of young mermaids for a while.

After he finished explaining, he put his tail in front of Boyce.

Boyce was stunned for a moment, looking at him suspiciously.

The blue tail flicked gently in the sea water, revealing scales without even a single scratch. Garcia looked at Boyce with a hint of hints in his words: "I just smashed a stone with my tail..."

Garcia, who had made out with Boyce under the excuse of her tail, hugged the human with a contented expression on her face.

He rubbed between Boyce's neck, Boyce felt a little itchy from the merman's hair on his neck, and stretched out his hand to brush his hair aside.

Garcia doesn't really like other mermaids around Boyce. Mermaids are naturally possessive.

Unlike humans, Garcia is used to the days when a mermaid lives alone in adulthood. Before he parted with Boyce, he didn't even know what loneliness was.

But humans seem to always need to be social.

Garcia held Boyce's hand, the human opened five fingers at the right time, and the two hands were tightly clasped together.

"When I'm not here, you can go and talk to those mermaids outside..." Garcia said, they wouldn't hurt Boyce, and the young mermaid, who was very curious and eager to sofia, was unwilling to let them pass. Boyce's opportunity to learn about humanity in advance.

"But you can't always stay with them when I'm back." Garcia recalled the days in the institute, Boyce was always busy with various affairs in the laboratory, and had to ignore himself for various reasons.

Garcia hopes that Boyce can have a social relationship here, just like he does in human society, but Garcia must ensure that he is Boyce's most important mermaid.

Boyce nodded along with his words: "You have always been the most important."

…

When Garcia went to patrol in the distance again, a young mermaid patted the hole with its tail. They would not set foot in the leader's residence until they got Garcia's permission. s attracted out.

Boyce went out and saw a group of mermaids waiting outside.

The head is a gray mermaid. The appearance of the mermaid will change significantly after adulthood. Before that, their appearance did not look more than eighteen years old.

Each merman holds something in his hand, pearls, beautiful shells, corals…

Boyce was taken aback by the gesture.

The mermaid at the front opened his mouth first, and it was indeed Boyce's native language. His pronunciation was a bit jerky, and the whole sentence was slowly spit out syllable by syllable: "Can you teach us human language?"

He pushed the beautiful shell in his hand towards Boyce again, which was the reward he could pay.

As the only adults and humans in the nest, Boyce and Garcia's behavior is still very conspicuous in the eyes of the juvenile mermaids. They have seen Garcia and Boyce occasionally come back with these things in addition to food, so I plan to use these as a reward.

As for delivering food to Boyce, they never thought about it.

Mermaids are used to sharing food only with their mates, and even if they don't mind this, Garcia won't agree, and the juvenile mermaid knows it well.

Boyce looked at them for a while, and hesitated a little. The gray mermaid headed by him thought that Boyce was considering Garcia and didn't want to agree. Before he spoke, he added: "Garcia doesn't mind your contact with us."

They also got Garcia's acquiescence, so they came to Boyce directly when Garcia was away.

…

Boyce remembered that the bottom of the sea was really boring, so he agreed. These young mermaids were also very interesting and would never bother when Garcia was still in the cave.

Garcia came back from patrolling outside the lair, followed the familiar atmosphere and rushed over, and saw Boyce surrounded by young mermaids at a glance.

The young mermaid who hadn't provoked Garcia for a long time was about to move. The gray mermaid swam a few meters forward and looked up at Garcia.

Boyce looked at Garcia, he dismissed the provocation of the young mermaid, glanced at him lightly, and then held Boyce's hand, showing a faint gesture of showing off: "We are going back."

His subtext was obvious, that his time was Boyce's and he didn't want to waste his time fighting a bunch of underage fish that meant nothing to him.

However, as a mermaid, although not yet an adult, the gray mermaid obviously understands how to stimulate Garcia.

"I gave Boyce a piece of seaweed today."

A smile appeared on the gray mermaid's face, two pointed canine teeth were exposed, and he added: "It's edible food."

"He's lying to you." The gray mermaid didn't give him any food at all. Boyce later accidentally learned the special significance of sharing food among mermaids, so he would take the initiative to avoid this situation.

Before Garcia started, Boyce grabbed Garcia with one hand and deliberately provoked the gray mermaid with the other.

During this period of time, he had fully understood the combativeness of the young mermaid, but he was still stunned to hear him provoking Garcia so much.

"I know." Garcia naturally believed that the gray mermaid would not make such an outrageous move, but he had to admit that he did succeed in provocation.

After teaching the gray mermaid a lesson, he got up from the ground and looked at Garcia with burning eyes: "One day, I will defeat you too."

The young mermaid did not think carefully about the meaning of being a leader, but was driven by instinct, just like Garcia challenged Hearst to take the leader's position from him.

Garcia held Boyce's hand and walked forward, casually replied: "Then I'll wait."

After returning, Garcia found that Boyce had been looking at her. Subconsciously, he touched his face.

Any questions?

Garcia thought with some doubts.

"You really don't care about being challenged by other mermaids?" Boyce was still a little surprised. After all, in the past, before he knew that he was not Garcia's "sofia", Garcia also had great obsession with the position of leader. Thought, but after becoming the leader, Garcia seems to have lost interest in the leader's position.

Garcia nodded seriously.

In the past few months as the leader, he has completely dispelled his previous obsession with challenging Hearst.

After becoming the leader, Garcia spent a lot of time and energy on the safety of the lair every year, and the time Garcia and Boyce spent together was greatly reduced.

He leaned on Boyce and complained in a low voice that he had to part with Boyce, and went to patrol around the lair alone: ​​"When the next leader takes over here, we'll go to my territory..."

At that time, not only the seabed, even Boyce wants to go to the land.

However, due to the innate sense of responsibility as a leader, Garcia instinctively chooses to go all out in the challenge until he selects the next juvenile mermaid who is strong enough to protect the group.

"That's okay." Boyce looked at him. "We still have a long time."

…

Before Garcia's next breeding season, Boyce was taken by Garcia to his territory.

But because Garcia's territory is far away from the nest, there is almost no time to look at it. When they arrived, Garcia found that his territory was once again occupied by a giant octopus.

Then Boyce and the others had a very fresh octopus leg that night.

After being restless in estrus, Garcia stuffed Boyce into his lair, and then swam out to drive all the large animals around him that might disturb him to another place.

Boyce waited for a while in Garcia's lair holding a glowing bead, and then saw Garcia appear outside the lair panting.

He moved a bunch of seaweed to block the hole, and then approached Boyce. Boyce looked at Garcia's approaching face, his heart beat faster, and one hand closed subconsciously, trying to grab something, but accidentally pulled it. The fins on the mermaid's arms slipped out between the fingers.

Garcia leaned down and kissed the corner of Boyce's mouth. Boyce closed his eyes and heard the mermaid speak in his ear: "No one will really bother us now."

…

In the second year after Garcia became the leader, the juvenile mermaid became familiar with the new leader, and the provocative actions gradually became less, but after the first breeding period after Garcia became the leader, other adult fish began to challenge. .

Boyce heard Garcia say that mermaids are distributed in different sea areas on the bottom of the sea, but he still couldn't understand how they communicated so that all the mermaids knew the news of the leader's change.

Boyce was eating a piece of seaweed, and Garcia, who was opposite him, was dealing with the fish in his hand. After living with Boyce for a few years, the mermaid gradually approached Boyce.

Halfway through the fish meal, Boyce saw Garcia put down the fish in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Boyce glanced at him. Garcia hadn't eaten half of his usual meal, so why did he stand up and prepare to go out.

"There are other mermaids to challenge." Boyce could even see a bit of joy from Garcia.

"Then I'll go out with you?" Boyce also put down the things in his hand and looked at him inquiringly.

"No." Garcia shook his head, looking at Boyce: "I'll be back soon."

Hearing this, Boyce stopped and planned to go out with him.

However, after Garcia finished speaking, he did not leave directly, but continued to be there.

Seeing that the shadow in front of him didn't move, Boyce raised his head suspiciously. Garcia leaned down and asked him expectantly, "Can we have a farewell kiss?"

Boyce was stunned for a moment, but before he spoke, a kiss was placed on the corner of his lips, and Garcia looked up at him: "I'm leaving."

"Yeah." Boyce touched the corner of his mouth, responded, and said to the back of the mermaid's departure: "Try not to get hurt."

After Garcia left, Boyce still felt a little worried when he remembered the appearance of Garcia when he was sent back by Hearst.

He thought about it and went out.

Boyce walked out of the cave and happened to meet a red-tailed mermaid: "Do you know where Garcia and the others are?"

The red mermaid nodded, and he was about to go over there.

Boyce followed behind the young mermaid, and the two soon reached the arena where Garcia and Challenger were fighting.

When Boyce arrived, Garcia was slapping the challenger to the ground with one tail, completely losing the ability to resist.

"Give up?" Garcia looked down at him and asked.

Seeing this scene, Boyce slowed down his anxious footsteps, leaning on the edge of a rock and looking at Garcia over there.

It was very strange to Boyce.

In front of Boyce, Garcia is more used to condense himself into a harmless appearance. He appeared in this appearance at the beginning, and wanted to reduce Boyce's defense against him.

Until now, he is still used to this disguise.

Different from the small fights with the young mermaid, Garcia, who went all out, was full of danger. It was not until the challenger conceded defeat and Garcia let him go, that he recovered from the state just now. .

After Garcia solved the challenger, he just raised his eyes and saw Boyce who was looking at him over there.

Garcia recalled the appearance of Boyce's vigilance and fear of himself when he first met, and there was a rare trace of guilt in his eyes.

Boyce saw that he was standing there motionless, and took the initiative to walk towards him.

He took the mermaid's hand: "Is there anything else?"

Garcia shook his head, everything has been resolved.

"Then go back to dinner." Boyce grabbed his hand and walked back.

On the way back, Garcia frequently looked sideways at the humans beside him, with a look of hesitating words.

Boyce looked at what he was about to say, but hesitated, and asked him, "What do you want to ask?"

"Aren't you afraid?"

Boyce glanced at him: "No." After accepting Garcia as his lover, he had already accepted this.

What's more, before this, Boyce had always been very clear that this mermaid was far from the tameness shown in front of him.

…

After returning, Boyce saw Garcia pick up the half-eaten fish he had just eaten and come over again, Boyce looked up at him.

Garcia whispered beside him: "He lost again..."

Although I knew in my heart that the mermaid who came to challenge might not win, Garcia still had some regrets after he really lost.

"It doesn't matter." Boyce felt that it was actually very good now, and it didn't matter if he waited a little longer. After all, he has already undergone transformation and has enough time to accompany Garcia.

…

The days passed when Garcia occasionally met the challenges of other mermaids. Boyce could not help but go out and take a look because he was worried about Garcia, but after a few times, Boyce was relieved, after all, not every mermaid. All of them fought with their lives like Garcia did at the time.

Garcia beat a challenger down again and turned to leave. Boyce was still waiting for him to go back to eat.

He recalled the battle just now, and had to admit that this green mermaid was the weakest one he had encountered since he became the leader, and his strength was a little stronger than the gray mermaid in the lair.

However, before Garcia left, the challenger behind him suddenly stopped him: "You took my sofia."

Garcia paused, stunned for a moment, and then realized that the mermaid in front of him should be the one that originally corresponded to Boyce.

Garcia, who had no feelings for him at first, looked at the green mermaid, but suddenly he was not pleasing to the eye.

"What are you trying to say?" Garcia frowned, "Boyce was never your sofia."

What's more, now that he has transformed Boyce, this green mermaid can't do anything to Boyce even if he wins.

Garcia looked down at the green mermaid who just got up, not to mention, with the ability of this mermaid, he couldn't beat himself at all.

He flicked his tail irritably, and glanced at the green mermaid coldly: "The challenge is over, you should go."

The green mermaid didn't give up: "I want to meet him."

"Boyce doesn't want to see you." Garcia didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, and was going to start chasing people out by himself.

Boyce never waited for Garcia to come back, and after waiting for a while, he came out to find him directly.

Just heard this.

The two mermaids also saw Boyce, and Garcia swam over subconsciously, blocking Boyce behind him.

"He's mine." Garcia bared his teeth towards the green mermaid and looked at him threateningly.

"I know." The green mermaid nodded, then turned to look at Boyce seriously, "I just want to know what my original 'sofia' should look like..."

After he finished speaking, he grinned at Boyce, and after introducing himself, he looked at Boyce: "Is your name Boyce?"

"Who is he?" Boyce looked at the strange mermaid and felt that he was a little inexplicable.

The green mermaid heard him mentioning himself, and happily prepared to tell his origin.

Garcia looked at him dissatisfied and interrupted his words: "You have seen it now, it's time to go!"

Garcia said, raising his tail towards him, the green mermaid still remembered the feeling of being slapped by a tail just now, and subconsciously shrank his neck, but looking at Boyce, he still said something boldly: "You were supposed to be my 'sofia'."

Boyce made a move and looked at him: "Then what?"

The green mermaid glanced at him, then looked at Garcia, whose face was also not very good-looking, his voice weakened: "I just want you to know..."

There are several anomalies in each race, and the green mermaid is also one of the mermaid groups, both in terms of strength and character.

Compared with other mermaids, his strength is too weak, and he can barely make a living on the bottom of the sea by guarding his small territory.

Because of this, after knowing that his sofia was marked by other mermaids, his first reaction was not to grab it back, but began to wonder if he should find a chance to meet Boyce.

The green merman wandered outside the lair for a few days, and finally made a decision. Even if he was destined to have no mate, at least let him see what "sofia" should look like.

Boyce and Garcia looked at him and glanced at Garcia's tail, and took a step back in fear: "I'm not here to rob people."

He couldn't help complaining: "Sofia is gone, can't I come and take a look?"

Boyce definitely won't be able to get it back. If he wants sofia, he can only grab other people, but with his strength, other mermaid's sofia can't be grabbed at all...

When Boyce heard the words, he glanced at him subconsciously, inexplicably felt that this mermaid was a little silly, and it was like two races with other mermaids he had seen before.

After listening to him explain clearly, Garcia's face was still not very good-looking, but it was better than before, especially after the green mermaid recognized his strength and said that he would not try to rob people.

After sending the green mermaid away, Boyce heard Garcia talking in his ear about the shortcomings of the mermaid just now on the way back.

Boyce listened to him babbling a lot, and when he looked over, Garcia stopped and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

He and Boyce looked at each other for a while, and then the tail went around Boyce again.

"He's too weak," Garcia said. "Only I can protect you."

Boyce looked at him for a while: "What he does has nothing to do with me."

Boyce looked at him and knew what Garcia wanted to hear: "I only care about you."

"I know."

Garcia naturally believed in Boyce, he was just a little concerned because of the identity the green mermaid naturally had.

"But 'sofia' is only bound by mermaids." Boyce looked at him, "As long as you don't choose another sofia, it doesn't make much sense to me."

"I won't," Garcia said. "I only admit that you are my partner."

…

After that, Boyce and Garcia hadn't seen the green mermaid for a long time. After meeting Boyce and letting him know of his existence, he never appeared again.

Garcia has not waited for the successful merman, Boyce and he stayed in the lair year after year, the grey mermaid and a few older mermaids were all grown up and left the lair, before they walked. After that, other mermaid eggs were also sent in.

In general, although the Internet is not as developed as on land, and there are some other conveniences, Boyce has adapted very well and has not been tired of living under the sea.

During the time of the year when Garcia was able to leave the lair, they also headed to the land and went to the town where Boyce's house was located.

When Boyce went back, there were still rumors of a "water monster" caused by Garcia in the town. At that time, the young people who tried to explore the secrets of the "water monster" with their friends had grown into young people.

When Boyce went back, he was warmly welcomed: "We thought you really wouldn't come back."

"Sure enough, the house shouldn't have been sold at that time, you see, you're not back now!"

"Who is next to him, he looks so good-looking!"

As they talked, their eyes moved to Garcia beside Boyce.

Before coming over, they went to Louis, who provided Boyce and the others with a disguise tool, which could draw a merman's head not much different from a human.

In the past few years, Boyce heard that Louis and Hearst had reconciled, and when Louis said that he figured out why he and Garcia were still there, Boyce was stunned for a moment.

When Garcia and Boyce talked, there was still envy in his tone. Boyce probably knew the reason, but he felt that Hearst didn't have to stay in the lair for most of the year now, and he didn't have to worry about his relationship with Louis. won't be heard by other merfolk.

He comforted Garcia: "When a new mermaid takes your place, we can also..."

Turning back to the present, Boyce pushed Garcia on the wheelchair and introduced to the others, "This is my partner."

Garcia liked the feeling of publicizing their relationship with someone he knew in Boyce.

He likes to be stamped by other people that he and Boyce are partners, although it seems that it doesn't matter if there is no other person's acknowledgment, and it will not have any impact on his relationship with Boyce.

"Your boyfriend is so pretty."

"You are a perfect match..."

Boyce listened to the compliments of the people around him, accepted them one by one, looked down at Garcia, and used his feet to cover the blanket above Garcia's knees more tightly to prevent him from accidentally revealing the stuffing.

He glanced at Garcia, who was still a little unfulfilled: "It's getting late, we should go back."

On the way back, Boyce even received an apology from the teenager with whom he condemned the "irresponsible partner".

The person who has grown into a young man has a bit of guilt on his face: "...I didn't know about your boyfriend at the time, I thought it would be irresponsible for him not to accompany you back..."

Boyce had actually forgotten about it. He looked down at Garcia's "lame" leg, and accepted his apology with some guilt.

But Garcia was a little puzzled, how did he get labeled as irresponsible?

…

When Boyce and the others had time to come out decades later, they happened to meet the green mermaid who had complained that they might not be able to find a mate.

Boyce wondered if Garcia had cast a heavy shadow on him at the time, so he turned and ran away as soon as he saw them.

After Boyce told Garcia the speculation, Garcia felt that it also made sense.

but…

Garcia remembered the message from the green merman just after a face-to-face meeting.

"He seems to have a partner already."

The green mermaid has an aura that belongs to the transformed mermaid.

Garcia wondered, wondering whose "sofia" he stole?

In a place unknown to Boyce and Garcia, the green merman swam back and forth in his small territory, putting away what he thought was important.

The human next to him watched his movements and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

He leaned over and looked at his partner: "Shall we move?"

He really couldn't beat that blue mermaid.

Humans didn't react for a while. Why did they go out happily this morning, and hurriedly pack up when they came back?

The green mermaid ran all night with his partner.

However, I don't know why it was such a coincidence. When he was running with his partner, he happened to meet Garcia again.

At the first sight of Garcia, the green mermaid subconsciously blocked in front of his partner, even though he couldn't help shaking.

"He...he's my partner..."

The other two present and a mermaid were stunned for a while, and Boyce first understood what he was trying to say.

Boyce looked at the human being blocked by the green mermaid. If he guessed correctly, he should be the "sofia" that should correspond to Garcia.

And the green mermaid has been avoiding Garcia and their actions can be understood.

Garcia has yet to realize the hidden meaning of the green merman's action.

"What does that have to do with me?" he asked strangely.

"Can't you feel it?" The green mermaid is a bit strange, the corresponding "sofia" is still different for the mermaid. Even if Boyce has been transformed by Garcia, he can still feel something in Boyce. The breath is completely different to the other "sofia".

Garcia shook his head. For him now, the receptors can only distinguish two kinds of breaths belonging to "sofia": Boyce, or others.

Hearing this, the green mermaid seemed to have put something down, and was happily carried back by the humans beside her.

Boyce heard this answer, but subconsciously remembered the results of the previous experiment.

Mermaid receptors will develop a second time after meeting a partner to adapt to their partner.

He also remembered that when Garcia was uncomfortable with the back of his neck, he complained to himself that he couldn't distinguish himself and Collins' breath.

However, later on, he never misunderstood the breath of the two.

Boyce's hand was taken by Garcia and fell on the receptor behind him. It obeyed the master's will in the second development and would never accept anyone other than Boyce.

"It only admits you," Garcia said.

"Me too."

…

In the decades that followed, Boyce went back a few times by using the disguising tools that Lewis provided him with the appearance of getting old.

He experienced the death of familiar elders, the aging and death of friends, until the young people who were familiar before the transformation had also been buried. When he went to the town again, Garcia was ordered by him to stay in the lake and did not follow him. Boyce watched. the same
