[Pokémon] Travel with Xiaomao

Although the little moth stabbed repeatedly by Xiaoye girl should have almost driven her traveling companion, Mr. Mao, to the brink of going berserk, but miraculously, the expected storm did not come.

In a strange atmosphere, Xiaomao was silent for a long time, until Xiaoye was about to lose his breath, thinking whether he should take the initiative to bow his head to admit his mistake, then he raised his head and let out a faint breath, as if he had done something important decision.

"I'm tired, do whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether the referee Nanami made any reaction or not, she took back the electric monster that was still dozing off, turned around, and strode towards the exit.Until his figure disappeared outside the door, he didn't even put on any posture ready to turn around.

Little Ye felt a little empty in her heart.Although no one from either side mentioned the word "goodbye", she understood that the words just now were equivalent to saying goodbye.

Mingming knew very early on that this day would eventually come. Why was she so reluctant and wronged when things came to an end?Obviously I still want to travel together, I still want to see the scenery of the world together, but...

Forget it, so be it, if this is the doomed ending from the beginning, she accepts her fate.In fact, she began to accept her fate a long time ago, didn't she?

That’s okay, at such an unexpected moment, let’s end this friendship naturally and turn our backs on each other. No matter it’s now or one day when we recall the past, we shouldn’t feel too sad.

Yes, it should be... not... too sad.

"Hey, Xiao Ye, what are you going to do?" Nanami's soft voice came from the sidelines.

Xiao Ye was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to realize that the other party was talking to herself.

"What... what to do?" Well, in fact, she still didn't quite figure it out.

Nanami patiently explained, "Just now, didn't Xiaomao leave on his own terms? I haven't made a final decision yet. So, according to the regulations, he is considered a temporary abstention, and I can judge you to get The final victory of this gymnasium competition."

"But, abstaining or something...I'm not earlier than him..." Xiao Ye was stunned, and then asked.

"It's a pity that the child was too impatient and didn't wait for my final ruling." Nanami said "you are too sweet".

So, to put it bluntly, Mr. Mao's disrespectful behavior of expressing his appeal with actions angered Nanami as the referee, so, as a result, he lost the debut battle of the gym master who was at his fingertips.

"But, it's true..." Xiao Ye, who should be said to understand, had a hard time.

"Although I can't wave my hand like Xiaomao and give you a special badge that can directly enter the second round of the competition, but ordinary badges are still fine." Nanami pulled out a green badge like a magic trick , "Didn't you already collect 7 badges? Just add this one, and you will be able to participate in the Quartz Contest."

"This..." That's true, but Xiao Ye clearly has other scruples.

"Thank you for your kindness, Ms. Nanami, but I still decided to go back to the public." Although her tone and expression were as calm as ever, Xiaoye's tone contained a sense of determination that could not be changed. .

"I... have an agreement." The girl seemed to sigh, but also seemed a little helpless.

"Agreement?"

While Nanami was in a daze, Xiao Ye had already taken back the dull beast, packed her backpack, and decided to leave.

"Say goodbye to Xiaomao for me... No, forget it." The girl shook her head slightly, then walked towards the gate without hesitation.

"Hey, Xiao Ye!" Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Nanami hurriedly said loudly, "I don't know what's wrong with you, but..."

She thought about it, as if she was considering how to word it, "But, I think, you should explain it to Xiaomao. Although, I don't know if he will forgive you, but if you still want to maintain this paragraph In terms of friendship... If you still want to be friends with him, don't run away."

The figure of the girl going away seemed to tremble a bit, but in the end, she left with the faint light coming in through the crack of the door.

Walking out of the ancient gate of the Viking Gymnasium, Xiao Ye looked around. Of course, the figure she most wanted to see in her subconscious mind had long since disappeared, so she definitely would not appear in her sight.

So what if you see it?It should just be silent.

Bathed in the midday sun, the girl shook her head for a while, and then took uneasy steps, slowly heading towards her next destination, which is the Pokémon Center.

First, please ask Ms. Joy to help restore the strength of the Wraith Shadow Dolls, and then...

Xiao Ye took out Device C.

To return to Hezhong from Guandu, one still has to take the connecting boat between the two places.As for the port where the contact ship is located...

Xiaoye stared at the little red dot on the electronic map, and held the corners of her mouth bitterly and slightly emotionally.

Dead Leaf City, a city full of warmth on the seashore, to her, is the place where everything begins and at the same time it ends.

Wandering in the warm sunshine, the girl walks through busy streets and secluded alleys, in the alternation of noise and silence, in the interlacing of trance and memory, and unknowingly steps into her return journey.

Compared with other cities, the Pokémon Center in Tokiwa City is relatively deserted, perhaps due to the perennial absence of the gymnasium owner.In twos and threes, the trainers were exchanging ideas in low voices, or sitting on benches to rest, and the whole hall seemed a bit empty.

After Xiaoye entrusted the baby ball to Miss Joy, she found a seat by the window in the restaurant and sat down.

Although it was already lunch time, she didn't feel hungry.

There was still a long time before the treatment was completed. She was thinking about how to pass the boredom. After thinking about it, she suddenly remembered that since she had decided to return to the congregation, she had to contact Brother Larry.

Although she also regularly reported her situation to La Lige, but because the congregation was a temporary idea, she never mentioned to the other party that she had such an idea.

I hope Brother Larry doesn't blame her for being capricious. Well, I don't know if Brother Larry is still staying in Hezhong, or has he returned to Kanto after finishing the matter?If they were in Kanto, maybe they could go back together.

Just in this random daydream, Xiao Ye dialed the contact number on the C device.

"Hey, Brother Larry." A long-lost familiar face appeared on the screen, and Xiao Ye couldn't help being a little excited.

"Ah, it's Xiaoye. How have you been recently? Have you won a new gym badge? Or, have you caught some rare Pokémon?" The young man on the screen seems to be a bit busy, with a sandwich in his mouth, his hands still Typing quickly on the laptop keyboard.Even though his mouth was full of food, his articulation was not affected in any way, and he didn't know if it was his talent or stunt.

"This... nothing new for now..." Xiaoye hesitated for a moment, then quickly changed the subject, or rather, this was her main topic, "By the way, Brother Larry, where are you now? Let me tell you , I’m going to go back to the public.”

The girl's smile was a bit forced, and her gaze began to wander, as if she was doing something to offend someone.

"Huh?" Larry's fingers obviously paused for a second, but soon, as if nothing had happened, they tapped as before, "Well, you've decided? It's good to come back. I happen to be in Kanto, why don't I take you back."

Seeing that the other party didn't have any special reaction, Xiao Ye was taken aback for a while, but then she tactfully didn't ask any further questions.Since Brother Larry didn't pursue it, she just pretended not to know.

"Brother Larry, are you busy? If it's not convenient, I'll go back alone." She said politely.

"It's okay, anyway, I'm used to being ordered around by grandpa." The young man replied with a face full of resignation.Well, in fact, this is not a good habit.

"If it's not troublesome..." Xiaoye hesitated, but finally agreed.If possible, she still doesn't really want to go back to the village alone, although that place is her hometown, where she was born and grew up.

"Tell me where you are, and I'll come find you." Larry seemed to have come to an end with the work at hand. He swallowed the sandwich in two or three bites, and stared straight at the screen.

"I'm in Tokiwa City." Xiaoye suddenly remembered that when he and Larry broke up in Dead Leaf City, the other party really said that they were going to Tokiwa City.With an idea, she blurted out and asked, "Brother Larry, are you also in Viking City?"

"It's a pity, there's still a short distance. Of course, it's not far away." Larry Young replied a little vaguely.

The two agreed to meet at the Pokémon Center in Tokiwa City.Although the distance is not far, it seems that the young Larry will arrive in Viking City in the afternoon of the next day, so Xiaoye still has a whole day to kill.

"All day..." Xiao Ye sat bored for a while, until Miss Joy recovered all her Pokmon, and then she regained some energy.

All day long, what should I do?

At the same time, Mr. Mao was not idle. As soon as he returned to his hometown of Damu Research Institute in Zhenxin Town, he turned on his laptop without even eating lunch, and started his own work - writing a thesis.

Although it seems that he has touched fish for quite a long time, in fact, Brother Mao has never forgotten that he is a Pokémon researcher.Since he is a researcher, he has to write a thesis well, otherwise, where will he get the research funding for him to eat, drink and have fun, oh no, it is to explore the mysteries of Pokémon.

And now that his journey has come to an end, even writing a report or something is more justifiable than doing nothing.He is a scholar, and a scholar is different from ordinary people.

Mr. Mao was busy all afternoon, until his dear elder sister Nanami told him to go downstairs for dinner, then he knocked his head and stopped.

After packing up, it was already 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening.

He couldn't remember what he had for dinner, he just felt that he couldn't taste it.Grandpa was very interested in asking questions, but it was a pity that Mr. Mao was too absent-minded and successfully dampened Dr. Oki's enthusiasm.

After finishing things hastily, he went upstairs, returned to the room, and closed the door behind him.

The room was silent, and from outside the wide-open window, there was the faint chirping of insects.

Xiaomao walked to the bed, looking at the night sky outside the window separated by the bed, a bright moon was just ahead.He stared blankly for a while, then retracted his gaze, walked to the desk, stretched out his hand, and moved the mouse.White light suddenly glowed on the pitch-black screen, and what caught my eye was the original manuscript of his thesis.

He has written this paper intermittently for a long time, and collected data for a long time. If it is published after polishing, it may cause heated discussions in the academic circles, but...but...

He opened the desk drawer, took out a small essential oil bottle, put it in front of his eyes and stared at it for a long time with frowning, finally, he sighed suddenly, and put the bottle back.

Until now, he still couldn't make up his mind.

Although that idiot's nonsense finally provoked him intolerable this time, but when he recalled that pretty face full of flattery with a silly smile, he still couldn't help but soften his heart.

What the hell is wrong with him!

Back then, there were countless people vying to please Mr. Mao, and there were countless beauties among them. When did Mr. Mao care so much about him?

But, but, I have to say that none of those people can smile so sincerely and purely like that idiot, so pure that there is only reverence, without any utilitarianism.So much so that he couldn't help but feel that he seemed to be really great... Well, it doesn't mean that he is nothing great in reality.

After all, how could he be worthy of her admiration?

In terms of ability, she is no worse than him, and in terms of talent, she is even more amazing.Her flaws are just a little lack of self-confidence, and... that damned quirk of not wanting to subdue Pokémon.

Speaking of which, what's wrong with that?Even if she can guess what scruples she has, but with the wisdom of Mr. Mao, oh no, even if it is the wisdom of ten Mr. Mao, they will definitely not be able to guess the cause and effect.

However, that idiot was stubbornly unwilling to reveal half of it.If she can speak out, he can also help her find a way, can't he?Of course, my arrogant refusal to ask questions seems to be one of the reasons for the worst situation in front of me...

Uh huh, as a good friend, understanding each other's thoughts and respecting each other's privacy is the correct behavior. Isn't it written in the book?Brother Mao thinks that his arrogance, oh no, it's arrogance, there should be nothing wrong with it.

but……

If you broke the casserole and asked clearly, aren't they still traveling happily at the moment?

If, he didn't self-righteously think that she could handle her problems well, wouldn't they have already moved towards the championship road?

Is the winning trophy that he pursued so hard but missed in the end, already within reach?

No, trophies don't matter at all, what he cares about, what he wants, maybe, is simpler than all these, just... just... a tacit look back, or a high five after victory.

Happiness itself is such a simple thing.It's just that most people can't see through it.

Xiao Mao stood quietly in the dim light for a long time, until he finally felt that he could not go on like this.He was eager to find someone to talk to, but for a while, he couldn't find a suitable person to talk to.After thinking about it, until his mind was tied up, he finally made a, um, a stupid move that he would only make when his mind was tied up.

He connected Dawu's contact terminal.

"Hey, Xiaomao, I didn't expect you to take the initiative to contact me. What's the matter? Are you here to tell me the good news about your broken relationship?" Dawu youth opened his mouth with an all-too-familiar sarcasm.

The moment Xiaomao saw that annoying smiling face, he subconsciously wanted to cut off the power. Fortunately, reason overcame sensibility, and he didn't do it so badly. He just blurted out, "Dawu, you haven't been accepted Buried alive, it's a miracle. Of course, it's the worst news for me."

"That's because I'm good at digging holes." Dawu shook his head for a long time before continuing, "By the way, sister Xiaoye, where is she? I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her."

This product is really which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.Xiaomao took a lot of effort to keep his face from twitching.

After thinking about it, he decided to tell half the truth and half lie.

"She's back in the crowd."

The so-called truth is that Xiao Ye has indeed decided to return to the public, and the so-called lie is that the guy has not returned yet.

"..." Dawu was silent for a few seconds, and when he spoke again, his voice was more than an octave higher, "What did you say???"

If it wasn't through the screen, he would have rushed over to make an "intimate contact" with someone, but unfortunately, the two were far away, so he had to settle for the next best thing and shake the screen.

"What did you do to Xiao Ye to make her run away from the public? Xiaomao, I'm not done with you, just wait for me..." Dawu youth looked ready to do his best, of course, because of the distance Far away, he thought desperately that he still had to cross dozens of kilometers, so he threw down the communicator, fiddled with it for a while, and began to pack his luggage.

"You... don't worry, she hasn't left yet." Because the screen was knocked over, Xiaomao could only see the situation in the corner, but the pressure in "Ping Ping Ping Pong Pong" was no less than seeing himself .

Probably because he felt that the joke was too big, or because he was afraid that he would be in danger, Mr. Mao hurriedly added, "She decided to leave temporarily, and it has nothing to do with me..."

Well, it actually has something to do with it, but if he doesn't say that now, he's afraid that he won't be able to see the sun in the day after tomorrow.After all, he is a rich second generation, and he, a schoolmaster, can't tell whether he is justified or not when he meets a local tyrant.

However, Dawu youth actually has no plans to do anything. He is already rich to the second generation, so he naturally learned to use money to settle everything.

"Xiao Mao, don't worry, I will protect Xiao Ye on your behalf, so you can leave it to me."

What do you mean by that?Mr. Mao was stunned for a long time before turning the corner.

"You...don't tell me you...are going to Hezhong too?" His handsome face finally couldn't hold back his twitching.

Maybe the young man in Dawu was too happy, he didn't listen to Xiaomao's words at all, he just muttered excitedly while holding the tablet by himself.

"Oh, let me see if there is an airship in Hezhong... How can there be no airship? It's too stingy, no, I have to call the airship company and let them open the route... Well, it doesn't need to be that complicated , Just buy an airship and find someone to fly there, it’s really too simple...Xiaoye, wait for me, Brother Dawu will show you how to play Hezhong~"

Play with a yarn!Who are the natives?Mr. Mao deeply regretted the fact that he was in contact with this bastard.

But thanks to this not-so-pleasant experience, he seemed to be starting to get a handle on it.

If you don't want to lose, you can take the initiative to hold on to it firmly, even if you will lose it in the end, it is better than not working hard at anything, so you can feel at ease.

"Dawu, thank you for your reminder, I wish you a good night's sleep." After finishing speaking, Xiaomao ignored the young man on the screen shouting "tell me where Xiaoye is", and cut off the power directly.

It's getting late today, so tomorrow, it should be in time.

But before that...

He closed the open file, then clicked on the file that was just opened with the mouse, chose to delete, and then emptied the recycle bin.

This way you don't have to worry about it anymore.

Mr. Mao was thinking about whether he should go to bed first because it was late, but suddenly he heard a slight sound coming from the direction of the bed.

"Click", like the crackling sound of a ball of paper being thrown on the quilt, if it wasn't for the surprisingly quiet surroundings, he might not be able to distinguish it.

Xiao Mao turned his head, and as expected, he saw at a glance that there was a bunch of green grass knots on his white bed sheet.

Who is so immoral, throwing rubbish on other people's beds in the middle of the night.

Xiaomao walked to the bed, picked up the grass ball, and was thinking about looking at it, when a shadow came over his front.This time, the "click" came from his forehead.

Well, it's all thrown on people's heads.

Xiaomao held his breath, without thinking much, stuck his head out of the window, and then, as he wished, he saw a shadow pacing timidly under the window.

Brother Mao weighed the ball of grass in his hand, considering whether to throw it back. The trembling shadow at the bottom seemed to have a tacit understanding. Of course, it might be the special sense of danger of wild animals, so he raised his head suddenly.

Looking at each other, Mr. Mao didn't know why, but suddenly felt a little blushing.He resolutely refused to admit that it was because of a momentary relationship with not very public moral thoughts.

It may be due to panic, or it may be due to being caught off guard, Xiaomao's head cramped, and he blurted out, "Do you want to come up?"

The little shadow trembling like a small white flower in the night nodded slightly.

So, as a result, the two opened a special copy of watching the stars on the roof and talking about ideals.

Don't ask how the two-story building of the Damu Research Institute has no platform, how did two people climb to the roof directly below the big windmill.For Sister Xiaoye, climbing walls has never been a difficult task.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and Zhenxin Town, where the night breeze is blowing, is completely silent.

Perhaps the two had their own concerns, and for a period of time after they sat down, no one spoke.

Later, it may be that Xiaoye was worried that if she procrastinated, she would delay her meeting with Brother Larry, or maybe she finally sorted out her mood. After a long silence, the girl spoke out slowly.

"Hey, Xiaomao, there is something I want to tell you."

Xiao Mao stared blankly at the starry night sky, and responded lightly, "Let's talk."

"Hmm..." When the words reached her throat, Xiaoye hesitated again. After thinking for a long time, she said intermittently in a sentence that was not very fluent, "This is, um, a story I heard. A long time ago, there was a A girl..."

"Isn't it just about your own business? It took a long time ago?" Mr. Mao scoffed unceremoniously, as if he had never done such a stupid thing.

"But in the book..." Xiao Ye seemed a little panicked, but also a little innocent.

Mr. Mao rolled his eyes, "The book also said that there are rabbits on the moon."

A certain girl was silent for a moment, then said timidly, "Are there no rabbits on the moon?"

"..." Mr. Mao regretted that he used the moon as a metaphor.

Fortunately, Xiao Ye returned to the theme at this moment.

"Anyway, I've decided to explain it to you. It doesn't matter whether I use the examples in the book or not." The girl tilted her head, as if she was wondering where to start.

"To be honest, I don't know if I can explain clearly." She hesitated, "Since I was sensible, I have noticed that I am different from the people around me."

"Everyone said that I was the savior who helped them escape from fate. Although I don't know what is going on, I am very happy to think that I can help others."

"But one day, everything changed."

"I was alienated by everyone, from a savior to a disaster. My parents were also far away from me. No one took care of me when I was young. The elder grandpa had no choice but to take me in reluctantly."

"Children in the village can get Pokémon from the age of 10, and some talented newcomers among them can also get Pokémon when they go out to travel."

line of permission.However, I couldn't leave the village, so I could only look at them enviously. I adopted a Gothic child or a single egg ball, and went away happily. "

"Later, I finally got the chance to go to school. But even so, the scope of my activities is only as far as the nearest town from the village."

"I am extremely eager to go out and see the real and vast world, instead of just glimpsing a corner of the magnificent picture scroll from the two-dimensional dull picture on the TV screen."

"Maybe the Elder Grandpa took pity on me, and Larry interceded for me. One day, I finally got the chance to travel. Even if it's not Hezhong, even if it's Kanto far away from home, I'm still so happy that I can't control myself .”

"But Grandpa Elder, he put forward a condition: If I can't prove my strength during this trip, I will go back to the village obediently and never come out again."

"Of course I agreed. In fact, even if the elder grandpa made a request ten times harsher than this, I would still agree. This may be the first and last time for me to witness this beautiful world with my own eyes. Opportunity."

"Afterwards, I followed Larry to Kanto by boat, and met you, Xiaomao..." Having said that, the girl stopped, as if she didn't know how to continue.

"Until now, you have discovered your own limit and realized that your own strength is nothing more than this, so you want to escape back to your hometown?" Mr. Mao said that he was not polite at all.

But the innocent and frank Saya didn't think there was anything wrong.She nodded, and then stared closely at the other party with her big wet eyes, "Xiao Mao, can you understand my difficulty?"

"No." Mr. Mao answered simply and neatly.

"...I didn't explain clearly?" The only conclusion Xiao Ye could draw was this.

"Don't worry, even if your language organization ability is flawed, with my IQ, at least it's not a problem to understand. I don't understand the reason why you decided to return to the public, but—" he enlarged the last two words Volume, "However, in your explanation, you escaped a very critical point."

Xiaomao turned his head sideways, and his sharp eyes poked straight at the other party unceremoniously like a knife, "You can go a step further, you can easily prove your ability, why, why are you shrinking back?"

"I don't know……"

"You clearly understand, why are you pretending to be stupid?"

"no……"

"What's wrong? Whether it's a miniature dragon or a tyrannosaurus, a great opportunity to subdue is right in front of you, why refuse?"

"I……"

"Aren't all your previous rhetoric an excuse? Didn't I already analyze it to you in the long conversation I had with you last time?"

what? "The more Mr. Mao talked, the more angry he became, unknowingly he became aggressive.

"Xiaomao," Xiao Ye took a deep breath, "Actually, I came to you this time, besides wanting to explain to you the reason why I have to go back to the crowd, I have one more thing to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Brother Mo asked angrily.

Xiaoye opened the backpack, fiddled with it for a while, and then took out 6 baby balls.

"These... children, I hope to entrust them to you."

"What do you mean?" Xiaomao was surprised at first, and then turned into anger, "You hand over all your partners to me, and when the time comes...

What do you want? "

"Nothing special, just..." The girl twitched the corners of her mouth bitterly, "I just hope you can take good care of them..."

"Can't you just take care of yourself?" Although it was agreed that Mr. Mao would be responsible for feeding the Pokémon when we were traveling together, but emotionally speaking, Pokémon will still be loyal to its owner, and taking care of the Pokémon is also the owner's responsibility. obligation.

"If I... stay with me, it will only leave them with painful memories..."

"You..." Xiaomao seemed to have figured out something, "Speak clearly. Otherwise, even if I accept these Pokémon, they will not recognize it."

"I am the one who is destined to bring disaster, so everyone in the village stays away from me. If you have anything to do with me, you will be crowded out by others when you return to the village. Rather than hating me at that time, it is better to... cut off now. Contact. Besides, if you stay here, you won’t be affected by the troubles in the village, and Xiaomao will definitely be able to take good care of them..."

"... Even if they are squeezed out and implicated, they should still want to be with you. Is the bond formed after spending so much time together really something that can be cut off so easily?" Xiaomao said Although the tone softened a little, it was more dignified.

"I... have no choice." The girl's voice was crying.

Xiaomao sighed, "You are so stupid."

"..." Xiao Ye buried her head on her knees, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she didn't know if she was crying.

Mr. Mao was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"...?" Xiao Ye turned her head slightly, and raised her eyes to look at the people around her.Although her eye sockets were slightly red, it could be seen that she did not really shed tears.

"If I said it earlier, wouldn't I be able to help you solve it earlier?"

"...??" The girl still didn't understand.

Mr. Mao did not explain, but said, "Before that, I just ask you one question: Do you still want to continue traveling? Do you still want to travel the world with me?"

Xiao Ye hurriedly replied with a slightly choked voice, "Of course I do, if I'm with Xiao Mao, no matter where..."

"This sentence is enough." Mr. Mao's expression changed to his usual humility with a little arrogance, and he seemed to be a little more proud, "I will help you get rid of all your worries."

"Eh?" The girl blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes still had tiny teardrops flickering, she was really cute.

"Aren't you just worried that if you catch more than 6 Pokémon, if they are sent back to the foster care in the village, they will be excluded or abused? This problem is easy to solve. You just need to transfer the foster care institution you are bound to. Enough."

"Huh...?" The poor idiot hadn't turned the corner yet.

"You're so stupid." Mr. Mao was very helpless, "Isn't my family running a research institute? Is the name of the Damu Research Institute called for nothing? This is the largest research institute in the whole Guandu. Is there a mountain?" Brother Mao pointed behind him, "From here to the other side of the mountain, all the land of the research institute. What do you think grandpa needs so much land for? It is to create land suitable for Pokémon Habitat environment. Different Pokémon need different living environments. In order to let them live happily, the Oki Research Institute has almost all types of geographical environments from deserts to forests. You still have to worry about finding a good one Is there a place to live?"

Yemeizi's brains followed Maoge's words back and forth for a long time, and she finally understood, she clapped her hands, "Ah, so it can still be done like this?"

"It would have been better if I had known it earlier." After so long, what is the plot?

"As for the proof of strength you mentioned..." Mr. Mao took a breath, and continued, "Although I haven't asked myself, I can't confirm the real intention of your elder grandfather, but I can generally guess a little bit. If you want to prove your strength, I am afraid that you are worried about what will happen to you. Then, the solution is very simple."

Xiaomao pointed to himself, "Remember, no matter what happens, I will protect you. Even if you are kidnapped by someone, I will definitely save you if I risk my life. Do you understand?"

"...Will I be abducted?" Xiao Ye suddenly became nervous.

Hey, is the point of the words here?

"This is just... an analogy." Mr. Mao was eager to gain wisdom.When he noticed the crow's mouth at this moment, it was already a long time later.

"Okay, since you've already said that..." Girl, don't act like you're compromising, as if you've been wronged a lot...

Mr. Mao suddenly had the illusion that he had dug a big hole for himself.Having said that, why "again"?

A certain person originally counted on his great speech, even if he didn't get any gratitude from the other party, at least, while he was in a good mood, it would be easy to accept a few good person cards.It's a pity that once the tight strings in a certain fool's mind are relaxed, other moths will come to stir up the habit.

"Well, since everything has been settled, I... I'm a little hungry. Xiaomao, would you like some supper?" Yemeizi didn't eat well since noon because she was too sad. It has not been easy until now.You said good person card, isn't Xiaomao not allowed to issue that thing?

"Snack? That's fine..." Brother Mao's face darkened, and then he was relieved.This is the normal behavior that a fool should have.Anyway, I didn't prepare dinner much, and now the two hit it off.

"Your family should be asleep." Xiao Ye thought for a while, and suggested, "How about we have barbecue. I still have some ingredients here. Where is the place..." She stood up and looked around , "Just the open space in the fence." The place she pointed to was a large grassland where Kentaro ran around during the day.

Mr. Mao did not object.The two went downstairs and got up.

After a while, an open space was cleared and a bonfire was lit. After a while, the meat skewers began to emit an attractive aroma.

So, in the middle of the night, Dr. Oki, who came downstairs from the three families to find water to drink, smelled the smell of barbecue as expected.

"What's so delicious?"

He was about to put on a coat and go out to join in the fun, but unexpectedly, he was taken aback by his granddaughter who was standing downstairs at some time.

"Grandpa, are you hungry? Let me see, let me help you cook a bowl of egg noodles to pad your stomach." Although Nanami's elder sister made a suggestion, her gentle tone was full of determination that could not be opposed.

"Uh, okay." Dr. Oki surrendered in a cold sweat, "That's numb.
