No.2 True new is the color that begins with pure white
(I feel that it is more convenient to read the new chapter directly than to cover the original chapter, so I will temporarily update the remastered version to the end of volume 1.) This part will be deleted when the second volume opens√)
(Rebuilt on 2018.9.19)
Greeted by the crisp sound of birdsong, Xiao Ye, who walked out of the door, stood still on the side of the street, and turned to look at his new – or arguably old – dwelling.
The house in front of me is a two-story timber frame duplex structure, which seems to be a house for some years. It is nestled against several tall trees, and its sloping light-wood-colored roof is hidden in a dense canopy. There are a few small bobs bouncing around the eaves and seem to have built a nest here.
This old house in the "far suburbs" of Zhenxin Town is not small enough to accommodate a large family. However, after a cursory look at every part of the room, Xiao Ye felt that it would be more appropriate to describe this old house as empty rather than spacious.
In the large living room, only a small wooden table and a chair sit alone in the center, and on the second floor there is only one room with a simple bed. The floor is all cold gray cement plastered, and the snow-white sheets without a hint of decoration will even remind people of a hotel or hospital.
However, Xiao Ye herself has no problem with such a decoration, and is even very satisfied - if she really opens her eyes and appears in a warm and full of life in a bedroom, I am afraid that she will immediately need to rack her brains on "how to return the life she took away", and think deeply about whether her actions are considered murder, and whether she needs to turn herself in.
She circled aimlessly around her dwelling twice, twice trying to reach for a fluffy brown bird under the eaves. Unfortunately, the shrunken height was too short, and she had to give up after jumping on the spot a few times.
Under the question mark gaze of the Bobos, Xiao Ye calmly looked left and right, and determined the direction of the town center through the density of the buildings.
Zhenxinzhen - As a former middle school student with a very popular hobby, she has naturally heard of this term. The street signs on the side of the street helped her identify her location.
She silently pushed the task of "familiarizing yourself with the living environment" to the top of the priority, overshadowing trivial entries such as "earning money to support her family to keep herself away from starving to death on the streets" and "taking the first step to a new world - touch Pokémon", and then walked down the street with full action.
Shinshin Town [Japanese: マサラタウン, Masara_Town, English: Pallet_Town], is also known as the "pure white town".
The town is not very populated, with sparse buildings surrounded by lush forests. The famous Pokémon scholar Dr. Ohki was born here, and after achieving fame, he returned to his hometown and established his own research institute. Other than that, there is nothing to praise about the pure white towns - most of the young people who grew up here have gone to the big cities to make a living, and only the old people remain in the airy and cozy towns, which make up nearly half of the population of Zhenxin Town.
Walking along the curving streets, sparse houses and stalls gradually come into view. As the human voice came into her ears, Xiao Ye finally felt like she was in a small town instead of a wilderness.
- Of course, this has nothing to do with the size and population of Zhenxin Town, it's purely that Xiaoye's "loading point" is too remote. From the time she set off to the time she saw the crowd, she walked on the road for more than an hour, and even suspected that she had gone in the wrong direction and ran into a neighboring town.
This is one of the busiest times in Zhenxin Town. People step out of their houses one after another, picking vegetables and fruits from roadside stalls, which has the feel of a small market. Xiao Ye blended into the crowd without any flaws, calmly scanning the goods on the side of the road, while skillfully avoiding the mess of puddles beneath his feet, like a townsman accustomed to visiting a morning market without a business permit.
- And the heart has fallen into a string of ellipses because some fruits are too "extradimensional" shapes.
Xiao Ye gradually walked through the market along the street, and her eyes fell on the ramps and railings that frequently appeared along the steps of the street.
Even in such a sparsely populated town, accessibility is adequate. This makes Saya realize that the region she is in—or the country—is clearly very different from her hometown in her previous life.
While he was thinking wildly, Xiao Ye suddenly heard an exclamation from ahead.
Two boys ran rampaging through the market, causing passers-by to dodge. The boy running in front had a brown hedgehog head, and the dark-haired boy in the back was chasing after him, still yelling noisily about something. I don't know who touched the fruit basket on the side of the road, and the neatly arranged fruits were suddenly scattered to the ground, and the boys who were addicted to chasing didn't notice the situation behind them at all, shouting and running away.
The owner of the fruit stand, a white-haired old woman, hurriedly stood up. Seeing that the blue-watered fruits of another dimension were about to fall into a pit full of muddy water, Xiao Ye hurriedly rushed forward with an arrow and successfully intercepted the round target.
The old woman breathed a sigh of relief, and with a smile she took the fruit in the girl's arms, "Thank you so much—come, child, this is for you." ”
Before Xiao Ye could speak, a clean fruit was stuffed in his hand. The old woman's face was overflowing with a kind smile, and the young man thought about it, smiled and thanked the old man, and accepted the other party's kindness.
"Ah, kid, you seem to be a raw face. The old woman looked carefully at the appearance of the person in front of her, "Did you just move here?"
The girl recalled the appearance of brand new toiletries in the spotless bathroom and nodded very calmly, "Yes." ”
"No wonder, I just said that I remember the people in the town. ”
The old man touched the young man's head and smiled gently.
"Welcome to True New Town, kid – you're going to love it. ”
After leaving the market, Xiao Ye took two turns around the more prosperous area of Zhenxin Town, taking in the general situation of the town.
After marking "80% complete" after the column "familiar with the living environment", Xiao Ye looked up at the eye-catching building on the top of the hill not far away.
She thought for a moment, and felt that she really had no reason to bother Dr. Ohki, so she put her visit to the institute on hold for a moment, and turned her steps towards the forest outside the town.
There are quite a few wild Pokémon in the forests around Shinshin, but most of them have a gentle temperament and do not actively attack humans. As a result, the forest often becomes a playground for the town's children – at the fair, Oza hears many adults complaining that their children are running around the forest every day without doing their schoolwork.
The sparse buildings gradually disappear and are replaced by dense groves. When the fresh air of the forest completely enveloped Xiao Ye, she stopped.
What unfolded before him was a scene that the Otherworldly Traveler could not have imagined—flocks of walking grass playing happily under the trees and soon disappearing into the jungle, little Rada in the burrow heard the footsteps of the walking grass and probed his head curiously, and the brown bird flapped its wings and landed on the branches, its beak striking the skin of the fruit with a crisp sound.
The girl did not go on, but stood still, staring at a scene she had never seen before, as if she wanted to impress such a picture into her mind.
It wasn't until Bobo curiously swirled around above Night's head, looking like she wanted to give it a peck twice and tried it, that she smiled and continued her stroll along the dirt road that the children had stepped on.
There was a faint murmur of running water coming from ahead. Xiao Ye quickened her pace, and the splash of water soon appeared in her vision.
There is a king carp jumping happily in the stream, and the sparkling waves are also dyed red. Saya carefully avoided the places where the fish gathered, so as not to be hit by the fish, and then leaned over slightly, allowing the clear water to reflect his appearance.
The man in the reflection has long, silky lilac hair, swaying in the breeze and caressing his face. Beneath the bangs, a pair of moon eyebrows draw a soft arc, and the light purple pupil color is like a cold pool of glow, dotted in the eyes under the moon eyebrows - it is a cold tone, clear and quiet, without the slightest emotion.
In those light purple eyes, there was no liveliness and innocence that a nine-year-old girl should have, nor was there the panic and dazedness of a newcomer, only the calm ripples of a deep pool slowly surging in them.
It was a very ordinary face, even so ordinary that it was not gender-recognizable, and the overly dull and uninteresting expression of the person in the reflection and the neutral white sports jacket exacerbated this attribute. If it weren't for the shoulder-length hair that added a bit of sexiness, I'm afraid Xiao Ye would have wondered if her gender had also reversed with time and space.
When he just woke up from his slumber, the strangely colored hair in his field of vision made Saya feel very unreal. However, after figuring out the world she lives in, she accepts the hair color and eye color of her "new self" well.
- After all, the people I saw in the bazaar just now were also very colorful, and the black hair and black eyes became a very small minority.
Looking at the person in the reflection, Xiao Ye couldn't help but reach out and pinch the left side of her face.
In her "previous life", she had a burn scar on the left side of her face, and this smooth touch was very new to Xiao Ye - so the guy who felt fresh added two more shards to his hand, until he pinched himself like he had just been slapped by the tail fin of the carp king.
Compared to this, the novelty of shoulder-length hair is diluted a lot - Xiao Ya used to cut her hair short before, and she didn't have long hair. However, she had never cared much about her appearance, and she stopped caring about it after tugging at the strands of hair that hung down in front of her eyes.
The Rat Pokémon, who was drinking by the river, raised her head and stared at the humans next to her with dark eyes. When Xiao Ya noticed, Xiao Lada had already slipped to Xiao Ye's feet and sniffed around Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye crouches down and makes eye contact with the curious Rat Pokémon.
After a few seconds, the girl smiled and held out a finger to Little Lada, "Hello." ”
The little guy tilted his head and licked Saya's fingertips in response.
Saya seemed to understand the reason why the little Lada was circling around her. She took out the blue Alien Fruit she had received from the old woman and placed it in front of Little Rada.
Accustomed to living with humans, the Rat Pokémon picked up the fruit unsuspectingly, nibbled it quickly, and soon stuffed its cheeks with the flesh. Sayo took the opportunity to gently stroke Little Lada's soft back twice, and finally narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
Driven by happiness, she stood up—
Then he froze halfway.
The long strands of hair were somehow tangled with the branches of the bushes, mixed with weeds and curled into a mess, and the scalp ached.
Sayo: "......"
Now go and cut your hair.
