The House Cup is over, and it's early August.

Although the Trainer Academy has only just resumed teaching, the students are once again on their way home because August and September are the official summer vacations stipulated by the Alliance.

Of course, there are also those who choose to stay on the island to exercise themselves, and the school is also very supportive of this.

A few days later.

A cruise ship slowly docked at the port of the city of shallots in the CD area, and the passengers disembarked in an orderly manner.

Among these passengers, there was such a person.

It was a young girl of the right age, wearing a white suspender sleeveless top on her upper body, and her plump breasts trembled with every step, attracting people's attention.

The lower body is a pair of denim hot pants. Her legs are long, her skin is a healthy wheat color, and she wears a pair of black sandals on her feet.

The girl's face was difficult to see clearly because she was wearing a large hat and sunglasses, and she was carrying a duffel bag. She seemed to be very familiar with the port, so she went to a ticket station on the other side and bought a ticket.

It was a small boat heading to the Uzumaki Islands.

It didn't take long for the boat to sail.

The Uzumaki Islands are a group of islands located near the northern mainland of the CD region, which is a famous tourist attraction and attracts countless tourists every year, so the boats are very frequent, with dozens of boats going to different islands every day.

The city of shallots is very close to the whirlpool archipelago, and for about two hours, the ship docked at a much more modest dock.

"Come on, take a look, authentic undersea shell jewelry, pearl necklaces, and amulets blessed by the witch of the Poseidon Temple~"

"Squid, seashells, clams, grilled fish, grilled and sold! Don't have money if it tastes bad! ~”

The vendors on the pier shouted as much as they could, and bought souvenirs, food, clothes, and art.

Since the Union developed tourism in the Vortex Islands, the island's residents have had a lucrative income in addition to the traditional fishing industry, and various related industries have sprung up.

The girl stepped out of the boat and took off her large sunglasses, revealing a pair of beautiful blue eyes.

"Yo! Isn't this Mari, the academy is on vacation? ”

Mari was born on this island since she was a child, and because her mother was a former shrine maiden of the Poseidon Temple, she is well-known on the island, and many people know her.

"yes, it's summer vacation, so go home and have a look."

After greeting a few familiar uncles, Mari walked towards the town not far away.

Her home is in a small town, and since her father's death, her mother has opened a small shop in the town, and the family's expenses, Mari's tuition fees, and the cost of taming elves all depend on this small shop.

Navigating the streets with ease, Mari returned home.

It was a two-story hut, and the land in the town was not worth much to the local residents, so a fence was built around the house and a yard was enclosed.

A middle-aged woman stood at the gate and looked out, the hard work of life made her lose her former beauty, but she could still see her former beauty from still maintaining a good figure and facial features.

Sayuri Fujii, she is Mari's mother!

"Mom! ~”

With a sore nose, Mari couldn't help but shout from afar, then trotted up and hugged her mother's waist.

"Why are you crying when you're so old, and I'm not ashamed." Sayuri thought that her daughter was crying because she was thinking about herself, but she didn't care, she hugged Mari and looked at it, and said distressedly: "I'm thin again, I prepared your favorite grilled crab for you today, remember to eat more later." ”

"Hmm." Mari nodded heavily.

She was full of grievances, but she didn't dare to show it, so she could only wipe away her tears and force a laugh.

Mother and daughter went into the house together, Sayuri went to prepare lunch, and Mari went upstairs to her room.

Throwing his luggage on the ground, Mari fell on the bed, his body trembling slightly, and after a while, his pillow was wet.

She's crying.

Memories go back to a few months ago, when she was a carefree student at the Trainer Academy, and although she wasn't very strong and didn't have much interest in elven battles, it was indeed her happiest day.

But one day, this peaceful life was shattered.

A man found her.

Tomo Asaoka, a man with the title of a poisonous snake.

Everyone knew that the person who was approached by Asaoka would not end well, but no one could say no to him.

Tomo Asaoka showed Mari a video.

It was a video of a fight, and one of the teenagers looked very familiar to her, it was Mari's deceased father.

But in that video, her father is a trainer! And from childhood to adulthood, Mari's impression and the stories of the people around him showed that his father was just an ordinary fisherman.

Asaoka's video is true, Mari's father once ran away from home for a year when he was young, and went to various places under the pseudonym Oda Yuta to challenge the gym and wanted to participate in the Silver Mountain Conference.

No one knows that Oda is too ...... Where did his initial elf come from, whose real name is Fujii Yuta, but Fujii Yuta obviously doesn't have much talent as a trainer, and he only got two badges after working hard for a year, and they were half given and half given by others.

A year later, Fujii Yuta was disheartened, and finally gave up his dream of becoming a master trainer, abandoned the elves who fought for him, and returned to his hometown to become an honest fisherman.

Tomoshi Asaoka asks Mari to do one thing at the cost of not telling Mari's mother Yuta Fujii her true face.

Mari agreed.

Just like the students who were approached by Asaoka in the past, he grabbed her soft underbelly. Mari knew very well that her mother would marry him because of her father's sense of responsibility and gentle character, and she couldn't believe how her mother would react when she learned that her deceased father still had such a black history, and she didn't want to destroy her father's good memories in her mother's heart.

So she agreed to Asaoka's request: to make a first-year junior fall in love with her, and then dump him.

It wouldn't be a matter if it ended here, although Asaoka was hated, his trustworthiness was also widely known, and as long as Mari fulfilled his request, he would definitely keep the agreement and keep it a secret.

But the bad thing is that Mari fell in love with someone who shouldn't be loved - Ryuichi.

Yes, Mari, who was close to him at first with the feelings of playing with Ryuichi, was involuntarily attracted to him during the contact between the two. Especially after the two fell on a desert island, Mari, who lost hope in life, was cared for by Ryuichi, and she fell in love with this strong and gentle man completely.

At that time, Mari thought that neither of them could return to the civilized world, so he indulged his feelings wantonly and without reservation.

However, fate played a trick on them and they soon returned to the Trainer Academy, and the day after returning to the Academy, after Ryuichi broke up with Misa in public, Asaoka found her again.

It's time to close the net!

Is it sacrificing oneself to maintain one's mother's happiness? Or use the sorrow of the mother to fulfill your own feelings?

Mari hesitated for a long time, she struggled, suffered, and finally ...... Decided to sacrifice himself, and Ryuichi.

Knock knock~

There was a knock on the door.

Mari hurriedly stopped crying, wiped her tears, and replied as smoothly as possible in her voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"When the meal is ready, wash your hands and eat."

"Got it, Mom." Mari answered.

She glanced at the photo of herself and her father on the bedside table and snapped it down.

Mari went to the bathroom to clean up and went downstairs.

Mother had prepared a sumptuous lunch waiting for her, and while the two were eating and chatting, Mari suddenly said, "Mom, I don't want to go to school at the academy anymore." ”

"What's wrong?" Sayuri said with concern.

"The academy is too dangerous, and I don't like elf battles." Mari deliberately found a reason why the student's parents were worried, and sure enough, she got her mother's consent.

"I've heard that there is a trainer in the Hoenn region called the Coordinator, a profession that aims to show off the magnificence of elves, and I wanted to try it. If the elves are concerned, I would like to take only the Snow Boy with me, and the rest will be left at home. ”

"It's okay, I'll take care of them for you." Sayuri gave Mari the greatest support, and she was so moved that she hugged her mother tightly.

"Thank you, Mom~"

"Silly Kid ......"
