Adele 2
Quack quack! ?
The villains like Adeli who were watching secretly were also stunned.
They had anticipated all kinds of reactions, but they had never expected that this weird Adélie did not go crazy after catching the thief, but instead gave the thief a stone.
No, that’s nothing!
There is no sense of accomplishment in bullying these geese!
The surrounding geese looked at each other, and saw a bit of solemnity in each other's eyes.
Originally, they just wanted to make this young goose get beaten up by the society so that he would turn evil and join Adeli's villain alliance. However, they didn't expect that the other party was so stable and the counterattack they gave made the Adeli onlookers feel very uneasy.
It's like kicking cotton!
This, this guy has no temper at all!
What happened next made these villains feel at a loss as to what to do.
"quack."
“Oh!”
After realizing that the construction of his own nest had not made any progress because of his companions' theft, the protagonist Adley did not get angry.
On the contrary, it actually began to care about the construction of nests of other single geese, and even took the initiative to deliver the stones it had brought from thousands of miles away directly to a suitable construction site to contribute to the construction of its competitors' mating nests.
...Gah! There is definitely something wrong with this guy! !
The villain Adelis flapped their wings in panic, falling into a state of panic at the same time.
In the following time, perhaps because he got fun from this incident, the protagonist Adélie began to care for every single male penguin who built a nest equally.
Whenever it sees the single goose fidgeting but unable to refuse the stone, it becomes particularly happy, with a strange light flashing in its dark eyes.
Being treated like this, the villain Adley almost screamed in his heart——
Gah! What on earth is this guy trying to do? !
Give me a reason!
Narration Probe:
"Although he was disliked by his companions, he was kind-hearted and used to repaying evil with kindness."
"She doesn't have any big needs, so even if it's important supplies, she's willing to take the initiative to give it to people who need it more."
"This made the companions who were used to maliciousness and intrigue a little uncomfortable for a while, and they suspected that he had other plans."
The audience was also shocked by the protagonist Adley's actions.
Is this the leisure time of single Adele?
[I'm shocked, my friend, which penguin is so good that it carries stones to help other penguins build nests? ? ]
[Wow, is this the Virgin Mary? She's so good that I'm starting to doubt my life! ! ]
[No, it doesn't seek a mate itself? Its nest is about to be divided up! ]
[I understand, I understand. It must be because it has no intention of seeking a mate, so it is so eager to help the geese because it is bored during the breeding season, right?]
[… Even so, it’s still ridiculous! It’s even more ridiculous that the breed is Adélie!]
[By the way, is there any natural documentary camera around? If I take a picture of this scene, it will definitely allow those experts to study it for three days and three nights, hahaha!! ]
Click——
In the distance, in an inconspicuous corner of an exposed rock, a "big stone" turned silently, facing the dark hole towards the Adélie penguins who were building nests, and a faint red light flickered in it.
Of course, the penguins knew nothing about this.
They still go about their normal natural activities.
In the subsequent nest-building operations, the villains unconsciously became more restrained under the care of the protagonist Adley, and even the number of stealing decreased.
They had long been accustomed to being met with violence after being sold swords, but this was the first time they received such gentle feedback from the protagonist Adley. They felt uneasy, fearing that this seemingly gentle Adley was secretly planning a big revenge.
But, for now, no.
Soon, most of the male penguins completed the construction of the basic framework of the nest, and it was time for the official blind date.
The female penguins are about to enter.
“Gah—”
I don't know which female penguin with the loud voice was the first to sound the charge. After this call, a large group of female Adélie penguins leaped onto the glacier in the distance.
The females are coming.
At this point, even the most leisurely Adélie had no time to care about the weird protagonist Adélie. He was just busy raising his head, patting his belly, and making sounds to attract the female bird.
"oh--"
"Ga! Ga!"
"Oi! Oi!"
The atmosphere on land suddenly became lively.
Birds' courtship is always particularly flamboyant.
The male penguins showed off themselves without hesitation. They made high-frequency calls, spread their wings and straightened their backs to make themselves look tall, and some even performed a swaying dance beside their nests.
It's really dazzling to look at.
However, as strict females, the female Adélies who receive such a warm invitation will not only look at these superficial fancy things, they are more likely to be impressed by a comfortable and luxurious nest.
The female birds shuttled among the flock, looking at the various nests built of stones and considering whether the corresponding male was worthy of entrusting their life to.
Of course they will be cautious.
Because Adélie penguins are monogamous, as long as both penguins are alive and the habitat remains unchanged, the breeding season each year will be a fixed combination that will continue for the next few decades.
Therefore, for these young geese who are just starting out, this blind date is a major event that will determine their future decades.
Almost all the Adeli were excited and nervous about this and tried hard to show themselves.
Perhaps the only one who remained calm was the protagonist Adley.
As mentioned earlier, it currently has no enthusiasm for finding a mate.
In the warm atmosphere, the young male Adélie just looked at everything happening around him curiously, feeling particularly novel about participating in the blind date season for the first time.
But it must be said that the protagonist Adele's external conditions are among the very best among penguins.
The fur is smooth, the body is upright, and the sharp, shiny dark beak looks sharp and solid. It must be very painful to be pecked at by a fighting goose.
Looks healthy and strong.
So even though its nest looked a bit sloppy and simple, and it didn't show off much, it still unexpectedly attracted a female bird to come forward.
The male penguins around: ...!
What!
It's so!
They subconsciously turned half of their heads and watched secretly, curious about how this weird Adélie would react.
“…Gah, ga ga.”
The protagonist Adeli first showed some surprise, but after a moment, he apologetically rejected the female who extended an olive branch to him.
The male penguins around:?!
Oh my god!
This guy, there must be something wrong with this guy!!
... Could it be that this guy is interested in the male birds? That's why he took the initiative to give them stones before? ?
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. A male penguin who hadn't found a partner yet walked forward hesitantly and reluctantly.
A moment later——
The male penguin was also rejected.
Haha, how strange!
The penguins around them suddenly felt even more surprised.
It doesn’t even want a mate, what does this Adélie want?
Is it too picky? Or is it that I don't have any idea about this at all?
However, putting aside the previous events, it does not seem too unusual for an adult Adélie penguin to not be able to find a partner. It is also normal to have accumulated a year of experience...
After all, I was busy here, and not long after I started eating the melon, the penguins around me started to busy themselves with their own things.
After a few indescribable days——
Thousands of small nests on exposed rocks are filled with their eggs.
After laying eggs and expending a lot of energy, the female penguins go out together again to find food, while the male penguins stay behind to incubate the eggs.
At this time, single people seem to have a lot of free time.
The protagonist Adélie curiously strolls among the tribe, occasionally looking at the penguin eggs vaguely exposed under the bellies of other males.
“Ga, ga, ga!”
"oi——"
"Whoa whoa!"
A few expectant fathers remained on high alert during this period, fearing that the bachelor penguin would steal their eggs. However, most male penguins had witnessed the protagonist Adélie's various strange deeds before, so they were not too wary of him. They just casually showed off the penguin eggs under them as if to show off.
After one month, the cubs will break out of the shell!
Dark grey and furry!
Haha, are you envious?
“Ouch!”
The protagonist Adley is sincerely looking forward to this.
Its own nest had long been torn apart, with only a few stones left, but it still collected stones everywhere, and then observed the nests on the site. If it saw any gaps in any nest, it would take the initiative to give the stones to that small family to fill the gaps.
Don't let your baby get cold!
Block it quickly to prevent any leakage!
It is so caring and enthusiastic.
Other Adeli: ...
A man who eats someone's food should be grateful; a man who receives someone's gifts should be grateful.
What's more, for Adélie in breeding season, stones are hard currency.
Before the formal courtship, they felt weird and horrified when given stones. But now that they have penguin eggs, when they are filled with fatherly love and just want to protect the eggs, they are given stones again. Their attitude suddenly changes 180 degrees.
Really, really give it to me?
Yeah, take it.
Gah, thank you...
It’s okay, just lie down quickly after you finish riding.
Haha, from now on you will be my kid’s uncle!
Then you must work hard to hatch the eggs.
The males incubating the eggs looked at Adélie, the protagonist, who was running around picking up stones to give to the penguins, with complicated eyes. It was the first time he felt the feeling of being cared for while incubating eggs.
It's still weird though...
But I have to say, it’s great to have such a companion!
Gradually being won over, most of the villains Adeli began to treat the protagonist Adeli in a friendly manner, and sometimes they would take the initiative to satisfy the other party's curiosity and briefly lift up their stomachs to show it the penguin eggs.
The narrator explains:
"Hard work pays off, and his consistent kindness finally touched his companions."
“Although the companions still sneer at this on the surface, they have actually begun to change their attitude towards the protagonist.”
"After all, no one can achieve his level."
[To put it in context, it probably means that you have a sunny and handsome good friend who actively gives you money to buy a house and furniture when you are in a relationship...? ]
【Ohhhh, who can stand this!!】
[This is a true Madonna (in a positive sense), it feels like a radiance is shrouding Antarctica…]
[So cute, hahahaha, the protagonist Adele has such a good attitude! Just looking at him makes me feel relaxed! ]
A few days later, the female penguins returned from foraging.
After incubating eggs with their partners, the male penguins, who have been hungry for a long time, can finally go into the water to eat.
They have lost a lot of weight.
Going ashore early, building nests, courting mates and hatching eggs... these tasks have consumed the fat they have stored for the entire winter and are in urgent need of replenishment.
After all, they have to go back to hatch eggs after eating!
The Adélie army was hungry and ready to launch a fierce attack on the krill and squid in the Antarctic waters. But in the process, they still remembered the traditional virtue of the Adélie - kicking their brothers on the edge of the cliff.
But this year is different.
Many times, before the villains kicked down the next unlucky guy, a familiar-looking young man would take the initiative to jump down and explore the way.
Although this young penguin was young, it was unexpectedly lucky and sharp enough to create a safe path for the larger group.
With its guidance, the foraging trip became extremely smooth.
On the way back, the Adelis with bulging bellies looked at the girl in a tuxedo who was walking in front, swaying from side to side with bubbles of happiness all over her body, with deep eyes.
Horrible, so terrible!
Although this guy doesn't quite conform to Adli's usual fine tradition in terms of morality, he is incredibly excellent in other aspects.
Whether it's foraging or courting...
There is no obvious class system among Adélie penguins, but if this continues, the young goose will clearly become their leader.
quack……
As their vigilance arose, they changed their mind.
In this case, the other party’s previous behavior seems understandable.
oi!
It turns out to be a trick to bribe them!
With this, the picky and evil Adelis were finally satisfied.
Sure enough, compared with the previous conclusion, this speculation is more reasonable!
It didn't embarrass them!
When they walked back to the camp, the protagonist Adeli inexplicably felt that the other penguins seemed to be more friendly towards him.
quack?
I don't know why, but it should be a good thing, right?
It shook its little black head and thought so.
As the seasons change, the temperature gradually rises.
But this is not a good thing.
Because before the warmth, the first thing that arrives at Antarctica is the terrifying cold storm.
“Wow!”
One day, a hurricane carrying wind and snow suddenly swept across the entire Antarctic continent. The ground, which was originally covered with dark brown rocks, was almost instantly covered with layers of white snow.
The hurricane howled.
This is probably the coldest and most terrifying wind in the world, like the icy breath of death.
As luck would have it, it was the male penguins' turn to incubate the eggs.
When a sudden hurricane hit, they dared not move and could only crawl on the eggs, closing their eyes and praying that the terrible cold would not freeze them and their eggs.
And, my partner who is away from home can return safely in this snowstorm.
"oh……"
In fact, not all penguins and eggs are lucky enough to survive.
During the breeding season, the previous waiting and nesting alone have consumed the fat that male penguins have accumulated for a long time. Replenishing it during the incubation period is only an emergency measure. Now they have to withstand such a storm, which is a huge challenge for those penguins with average physical fitness.
At this time, there was an Adélie shivering in the wind and snow.
It did not react in time when the hurricane suddenly hit, and the nest was not perfect enough, so one of the eggs accidentally rolled out.
Almost instantly, a thin layer of snow covered the eggshell.
It is visible to the naked eye that the egg is gradually losing temperature.
"oh……"
There was no way this Adélie would abandon the intact egg in the nest to save the one outside. It could only crawl on the spot, looking at the penguin egg outside the nest with reluctance and sadness.
The surrounding penguins took the time to glance over here and shook their heads while resisting the wind and snow.
This egg is definitely doomed!
They all think so.
Pah.
Pah.
But just then, the penguins heard hurried footsteps.
Which penguin would move instead of staying where it is and waiting for the snowstorm to pass? How reckless!
They had originally closed their eyes, but when they heard the sound they couldn't help but open their eyes.
Then, they saw a familiar Adélie again.
The other party trotted all the way to the lonely penguin egg. When it got close, it bent down and used its sharp beak to dig it to a place covered with a few small stones, and quickly made a nest on the spot.
In this situation, it seemed that even the wind and snow had subsided a little.
“Huh?!”
Adley, who was silently mourning for his child, was suddenly startled and couldn't help but raise his head.
Meeting its surprised, confused and helpless eyes, the protagonist Adley raised his head and called to it soothingly, still maintaining the egg-nesting posture that he had just learned not long ago.
Relax, it's okay.
Since it has to survive the snowstorm anyway, it might as well let it carry another egg.
Young Adley said this, shrank his neck, closed his eyes, and let the falling snow on his body take away the heat.
No, but that's not the case.
It is not the same difficulty for a penguin to survive a blizzard as it is for a penguin protecting its eggs to survive a blizzard.
What's more, this Adélie clearly has its own nest - even though it has been torn to pieces by them... but at least it's better than protecting penguin eggs on a few broken rocks!
Now, it has become more difficult for itself.
That's stupid Adley!
Not Adelie at all!
The penguins around them, who had already crawled on the ground to keep warm, all thought the same thing. But it was undeniable that after seeing what had just happened, they no longer had any ill will towards the protagonist Adélie.
Who knows if the next time the other party will protect their cubs?
If possible, let's live together!
I don’t know how long the wind blew, but it finally stopped.
puff!
Puff!
In the thick snow, heads popped up one after another, opening their sharp beaks covered with small ice flowers, breathing the particularly fresh air after the snow fell.
The snow gradually melted.
The penguins on land reveal their distinct black and white bodies.
"quack!"
“Ahhh—”
In the distance, their foraging partners finally returned.
The female birds looked particularly anxious. They called out loudly in the snow that had not yet melted and ran quickly to greet others, trying to find their mates through their calls.
The male birds, which had slept in the snow for several days, shook their heads to shake off the snowflakes stuck on their heads, and began to raise their heads in response.
One after another, they all found each other.
"Ga! Ga!"
Among the returning team, there was a female Adélie penguin that looked particularly anxious.
It flapped its wings and trotted along, finally recognizing the faint voice of its partner among the noisy sounds and ran straight to the source of the sound.
It's finally here.
There, the male bird was lying on the ground obediently, protecting its penguin eggs with all its might.
"Oh! Ouch!"
Seeing his mate coming, the male penguin flapped his wings excitedly, staggered to his feet, and showed his mate the results of his post-disaster survival.
In the small nest, a penguin egg was lying quietly.
It was still warm, which meant it was still alive.
A little life has survived the severe cold and is about to be conceived successfully!
"……oh!"
Although there was only one left, the female penguin was already mentally prepared.
They are all novices and unskilled.
In the wind and snow, if it hadn't kept up with the main group, it would have almost gotten lost and couldn't come back.
This is something neither of them has experienced.
So, being able to protect an egg is already pretty good! Very impressive!
Although the mortality rate of cubs is relatively high...
But it’s okay, just treat it as the first year of practice!
Having prepared herself mentally, the female penguin staggered forward and pecked her partner's cheek comfortingly.
But its partner seemed to have something extra to say -
"Ga! Ga!"
The female penguin looked puzzledly in the direction her partner had excitedly pointed, and saw a strange male penguin slowly standing up.
There was no formed stone nest under it.
But unexpectedly there was a smooth and warm penguin egg.
Villain Adeli: Who can resist a penguin that gives you stones during the breeding season? Oh my god, it can also protect eggs! The chosen kindergarten principal! (Gradually succumbed to the protagonist Adeli's sugar coating——)
