Chapter 47: The Eve of the Battle

As people who came to Red Lotus Island for the first time, Kazuki and Leo Lu were unexpectedly lost. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The island is far more complicated than you might think, with roads leading in all directions and many small tunnels. If you don't spend ten days and half a month exploring the terrain in this kind of place, you will get lost almost every time you walk.

They have been in the same place for a long time, and even asking passers-by will not help.

"I knew I was going to buy a map at the docks. ”

When he first got off the boat, Yihui didn't think it was a big deal here, his memory was not bad, and Lu Lili came out to make trouble, so he didn't buy a map. Originally, I thought that even if I got lost, I would be able to get out with Leolu's ability, but now Leo Lu has no way to use the waveguide - he is soft, has a headache and a swollen brain, and has no way to concentrate.

Since there is no way to go out at the moment, I can only find a hotel to stay in and wait until tomorrow to find a way.

Red Lotus Island is most famous for its hot springs, which spread even more widely than the water performances of the Hualan Dokan, so most of the buildings on this island are hot spring hotels, but almost all of them are full, and there is no room available at all.

"No, are we really going to sleep on the streets where there are so many hotels around?"

Leo Lu was lying on Ikki's shoulder, and he could only open one eye to observe the situation. Although he was used to sleeping outside, he didn't think Ikki could do it. What's more, now he can only rely on Kazuki.

"Hey, kids, we're meeting again. ”

"You're Xia ...... The old man on the ship just now!"

Leo Lu grabbed a handful of Ikki's head, and Ikki changed his words in time not to call out Xia Bo's name.

But what is Shaber doing here? This is not the scope of the anime's narrative after all, so Leolu doesn't know anything about Shaber's behavior.

Xia Bo put his hands behind his back and walked slowly around Kazuki, suddenly reaching for Leo Road as he circled behind him, and Kazuki, who was aware of it, also turned away at the same time. Xia Bo missed, so he had to pretend to be innocent and look at the scenery.

"Excuse me, are you in ...... What to do?"

It's about Leo Road, and Ikki naturally can't be simple. Xia Bo didn't seem to be going to continue to hide - no, it should be said that he didn't intend to excuse himself from the beginning, and he just acted like a joke to amuse a child, although it was not funny at all.

"I wanted to help you see your elf, he's sick, isn't he?"

Xia Bo was right, Leolu's current state was no different from being sick, but even if Ikki knew that he was a gym trainer, he didn't think that Xia Bo could cure Leolu's illness - he still had to try the hot springs.

"Do you want him to see it?" Ikki still gave Leo Lu the choice, although he didn't know why he knew about the Red Lotus Gym, and he also knew Xia Bo.

Anyway, there is no harm, even if he knows that Xia Bo is a researcher of Team Rocket, he will not do anything bad until Ash comes to challenge. Thinking so, Leolu nodded to Kazuki and asked him to hand himself over to Shab.

As those hands lifted him, Leolu could clearly feel him straining slightly.

Shaber put his hand to Leolu's forehead and asked him to open his mouth, which looked good.

There was nothing wrong with this elf, even Xia Bo, who had never been a doctor, could see it, but the symptoms were a bit similar to the medicine of a partner a few years ago. Xia Bo was secretly speechless, he didn't expect this kid to actually have contact with that person, and at the same time understood the reason why Yihui came here.

Returning Leo Lu to Yihui, Xia Bo coughed pretentiously, and the attitude of the hippie smile was also reined in, and Zhengse said: "Come to my house, it just so happens that I also run a hotel, so let you borrow it for one night." ”

Hearing Xia Bo's words, Yihui's heart moved, but he was deeply worried.

"We do need a place to stay, but with so many tourists here, I guess it's the same with your home......

Xia Bo laughed when he heard this, and didn't answer Yihui's words, but just asked him to follow him. Kazuki and Leolu glanced at each other, shrugged their shoulders at the same time, and had to follow in Xia Bo's footsteps.

"By the way, did you know that there is a gym here, and I heard that the name of the owner of the hall is Xia Bolai......

Climbing up a not-so-short staircase, they came to an open field, overgrown with weeds, which looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. Yihui knew that Xia Bo was right in front of him, but he still tentatively asked Xia Bo.

Xia Bo stopped and looked back at Yihui, so frightened that he almost thought he was exposed, but fortunately, Xia Bo did not stare at him, but closed his eyes and sighed.

"I'm Xia Bo, as for the Red Lotus Dao Pavilion...... See for yourself. ”

Xia Bo was the first to look to the side, and Yihui also looked away. On the edge of this long-abandoned land, there is an abandoned building, the house has collapsed extensively, the wood is covered with green moss and fungi, and if you walk forward, you can still smell the musty smell in the air.

"Xia Bo, how did the gym ......?"

"It's no longer there, and I've long since stopped opening a gym, and now I'm ready to rely on the hotel business to retire! ”

To be honest, if Leo Lu hadn't watched the anime and didn't understand the plot in his previous life, he might have believed it, but he just happened to know, so he wouldn't believe the story that Xia Bo made up randomly. He doesn't open a gym, he just finds time to study how to make Mewtwo, and lives on the hotel business to support his retirement? What are you kidding, that money may not be as high as the monthly salary that Team Rocket gave him.

Xia Bo's home is on the side of a high mountain, although it is a mountainside, but it is also higher than any other hotel, so it also has a good view of the whole Red Lotus Island. But strangely, there is not a single guest in such a large hotel, and when Yihui and Leo Lu followed Xia Bo in, they found that no matter which room was empty, not because the guests had gone out, but because there was no trace of living at all.

Sure enough, those words were all lies.

Choosing a room facing the business district and the sea, Ikki placed Leo Road on the neatly stacked quilts and sheets in the corner of the room before going to pack his things. At this moment, Shaber opened the door again and walked in, handing Yihui a roll of paper tied with rope.

"This is the most detailed map of Red Lotus Island, only we can get it here, you don't want to lose it, I'll give you a discount on the house price, see if you are still a child, I won't embarrass you." ”

There was no negotiation, and there was no fierce bargaining, and the discount given by Xia Bo was actually rare and shocking in the world--one discount.

Leolu didn't know the ratio of the currency of this world to the currency of his previous life even if he had been with Ikki for so long, after all, Ikki was in charge of buying things, and he didn't even know what some things were for. But none of this matters, Xia Bo's discount is no different from providing them with a place to live for free, let alone making money, it is a miracle to be able to do it without losing money.

Xia Bo's hotel also has hot springs, and I heard Xia Bo say that this is still a rare natural hot spring on the island, and most of the hot springs are artificial hot springs made of electricity or coal by merchants, just the feeling is much worse, not to mention that there is no effect. Xia Bo also jokingly mocked those people: "It's no different from boiling people in boiling water." "The hot springs here are not only natural, but they are also the largest on the island.

Ikki always remembered what Fuji said, not to mention that it was getting late now, and after saying goodbye to Xia Bo, who didn't know what to do, Ikki changed into a yukata, holding a wooden basin for clothes in one hand and Leo Road in the other hand to the entrance of the hot spring.

At night, even on Red Lotus Island, which has a volcano, the temperature begins to gradually decrease, and as soon as Kazuki opens the door, a hot and humid humidity greets him, hot steam floats on the hot springs, and the fire-breathing faucets carved on the mountain rocks seem to be pouring water into the pool continuously, but the idea of Charizard spraying water still makes Yihui and Leo Lu stunned for a long time. The hot spring is not too deep, and Ikki can show his body above his abdomen when he stands in the pool, but it is a bit choking for Leo Lu, who can't swim and is not tall enough, and Ikki has to use his own hands as the ground to let Leo Lu surface, with the help of the buoyancy of the water surface, so he is not tired.

"I'm about to challenge the gym, I still remember the last battle with Xiao Gang and Uncle Wu Neng clearly, although I don't know Xia Bo's strength, but I can't back down. ”

Kazuki soaked in the water and muttered something quietly. Leolu was bent on recovering as soon as possible, so he didn't pay attention to Ikki's self-talk, after all, this feeling was really uncomfortable.

Ikki smiled and stopped talking, closing his eyes and enjoying the silence.

The starry sky is vast, and the future will be as eternal as the stars......
