Chapter 57: Tricky Guy
As expected, Ikki moved towards the front desk of the Elf Center, ready to inquire about the Kikyo City Gym, while Leo followed Hua Ling to see if there was anything they could improve further on the injury on Selia's leg.
After a short while, Kazuki finally returned to the midst of them, but he looked depressed and walked with his head drooping.
"How...... kind, there is ...... What, Harvest...... What?"
Leolu had almost a good idea of how he looked when he came over, but it was something that could make the kid frustrated...... It is estimated that things are also more troublesome.
"I can't help it...... It's just terrible. ”
Kazuki slowly walked over to the chair next to Celia and sat down limply.
"Calm down, what's going on?"
Anyway, in this environment, Leo Lu couldn't take the initiative to help, so he gave up and jumped next to Ikki. Celia was a little unhappy with Leolu's departure, but she didn't do anything.
"Hey—" Kazuki shook his head, looking at Leo Lu standing beside him, his mouth moving, but then he sighed again.
“…… What the hell is going on? Don't get emotional, talk about it. Leolu was also a little confused. Is this so serious?
Kazuki nodded, turned around and hugged Leolu in front of him. This position is the same as that of a child holding a stuffed doll while sleeping, and of course, the stuffed doll refers to the current Leolu. Ikki didn't wait for Leolu to react, he hugged him tightly to his chest, and even put his chin directly on Leolu's head. Anyone who looks at this picture should only think how good this child and this elf are.
"You're ......"
"What do you mean by 'I am', it's obviously Leolu, you're careless, okay...... Obviously, I emphasized that I should not use [telepathy] to communicate in public......" Ichiki smiled, but his tone was not as relaxed as his expression, "I just asked Miss Joey about the Kikyo City Gym......"
"What did Miss Joy say?"
"Hmm...... She said that the Kikyo City Gym was a recently established gym, so there was no trainer who was the owner of the Gym so far, so it was impossible to challenge the Kikyo City Gym now. ”
After he said this, Leolu finally realized that there was such a possibility, and understood why Ikki was so depressed.
"Alright, cheer up, there's always a way. ”
“…… Easier said than done. ”
Since there is no way to challenge, there is nothing to do, and now I can only find a way to go to the next pre-selected Alliance Gym.
So Ikki put down his backpack, took out the map from it and began to look for it.
Leolu had left this matter to himself, and returned to Celia and Feather.
"Selia, how are you feeling right now?"
“……”
"Selia?"
Celia was unmoved, this was the first time Leolu had seen her temper tantrums.
Selia's attitude changed completely just during the time he spoke to Ikki.
"Brother...... It's a big ...... Bastard!!"
"Huh!?Why are you scolding me?" Leolu looked at Hua Ling, "Did I do something just now?"
Hua Ling tilted her head, looked at the ceiling and thought for a while before finally speaking: "Leo Lu didn't do anything, and I don't know what Celia is angry about...... However, Selia who is angry is also cute~~"
Leolu slapped his paw heavily on his forehead, giving up completely.
Flower Feather ...... It's been completely infected by Yukino...... I'm terminally ill...... Completely hopeless.
"I really don't understand you guys...... eh."
Leolu looked at Celia, who didn't even look at him, and had to sit down silently beside Celia as if he had conceded defeat.
"Bump!"
After the troubles on Leo Road's side were over for no apparent reason, the door to the Elven Center was suddenly and rudely opened.
An ordinary, but very special trainer walked in.
The conspicuous red hair was tidied up, at least not as messy as it had been when it was still in the forest.
Under the gaze of everyone who had come to the Elven Center, he quickly glanced around, and as a matter of course, Leolu saw each other, and then silently lowered his head and quickly walked to the counter.
"Please take care of its injuries......"
Without too many words or movements, he just took the Poké Ball out of his arms and handed it to Miss Joy, and walked away.
For Joey, this is just a strange guest, and as long as he fulfills his duty, it doesn't matter if he is strange or not.
However, for Leolu, he has completely become a "big problem" in the true sense of the word.
Because when he left the counter, it was also the moment when he approached Leo Road.
I'd like to fight against a guy like that, but ...... What a way to do this!!'
Sure enough, the place this man wanted to reach was in front of Leolu.
He quickly walked up to the group, and naturally caught the attention of Ikki and Selia.
Originally, Kazuki didn't pay much attention to this person, but he just glanced up at the initial commotion, and then looked at the map again. Now that everyone has come to the front, I can't do it without looking carefully.
"That...... Do you want to rest here?I don't know what happened to you, but I want to sweat profusely...... You're still tired, aren't you? Or are you...... What's the matter?"
Yihui took the initiative to move to the side, looking at the red-haired boy who was still sweating downward...... He would rather this person's purpose be the first kind.
However, the red-haired boy was completely unmoved by Ikki's words and actions, and just stood silently in front of them, silently speaking.
Kazuki may not know, but Leo Lu knows better.
Originally, the number of his own race was small, and he was still wearing such an outfit, even if the red-haired boy in front of him wanted to admit his mistake. What's more, his straight eyes are enough to show how strong his purpose is.
That's right, it's obviously Leo Road.
"This one...... Is it your elf?"
The red-haired boy turned his head to look at Ikki, and after waiting for a long time, he finally spoke.
"Uh...... Well, that's right!"
Somehow, Ikki found that the more he stared at the red-haired guy, the more uneasy he felt.
"Since it's your elf ......" The red-haired young man's gaze looked at Leo Lu more firmly, and even made Leo Lu feel that his hair was about to stand on end, and then said something very unbelievable.
"Can you transfer him to me?" the red-haired boy didn't care about Ikki's thoughts at all, and said that.
Kazuki was also stunned for a few seconds, and then stood up from the stool abruptly.
"You...... What do you say!"
