Chapter 112: The Institute for Space Research
Outside, the streets were bustling, and the dim lights were surrounded by a few flying insects, which became speckled shadows in the orange light.
The noisy restaurant is filled with the footsteps of waiters, the crisp sound of ping-pong as plates collide, and the words of Alola's people at their dinner party in the evening.
Moon sat at one of the tables in the corner of the dining room, and Mao and Lilia sat across from her.
Compared to the urbanized streets of Merlot Island, the shops in Akara Road are much more down-to-earth, just like the one in front of you.
Opened by Mao's father, the restaurant is well-known in the neighborhood and is known for the freshness of its ingredients and the uniqueness of its flavors.
Of course, Yue is not a foodie, and she is not so particular about food, but for her, the delicate treasures here are not as delicious as the ubiquitous masalada.
"Moon...... Eat more......"
Mao, who was eating Hesse nonsense, found that Yue looked down at his flat chest, looked interested, put down the fork in his hand, and couldn't help but say with some dissatisfaction.
After all, in her impression, the moon is synonymous with foodies.
Lilia looked at the girl with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Tsuki let go of her tightly intertwined hands and wrenched her fingers in a different way.
It wasn't until Lilia poked her lightly that she suddenly reacted.
"Sorry......"
"I'm thinking about something, I'm getting a little distracted."
With an apologetic look on her face, she picked up a spoon and put a spoonful of mashed potatoes into her mouth.
To be honest, Yue was not in the mood for a meal.
She's thinking about the Skeletons.
At first, Yue thought that it was a pure coincidence that the group of blind guys came to find her stubble, but then things made her realize that something was wrong.
She began to remember what she had done in Alola.
Two years ago, it seemed that in addition to working and training mini dragons, it was to eat and sleep.
Oh yes, and by the way, teach the skeleton team a lesson as an after-school pastime.
It is said that the members of the skeleton team avoided her at that time, and lost their arrogance for a while.
As miserable as it may seem, the Skeletons aren't easy to talk to.
But that alone doesn't have enough reason to attract the attention of the Skeletons.
Unlike two years ago, today's skeleton team has once again absorbed a lot of bad boys and girls as its subordinates under the impetus of a force, and the momentum is not as small as in the past.
Will such an organization still be obsessed with the trivial things of two years ago?
Yue shook her head lightly and patted her forehead lightly with her hand.
If you remove what you did two years ago, many possibilities will be ruled out, and the rest is like the original entangled threads have been successfully untied.
Thinking that the current skeleton team is not much different from the previous in the game, then the current boss should still be the cynical Guzma, and behind him is the Aether Foundation.
She remembered what Guzma had said to her before, and crossed out another possibility in her mind.
Guzma is an extremely strong person, since he has recognized his own strength, it is impossible to do these indiscriminate methods, so the source can only come from the Aether Foundation.
I wanted to go to the Aether Foundation again after a few tests, but now it seems that I should consider changing my itinerary.
"Toot ......"
The communicator on his body sounded.
Moon turned on the communicator, and Kukuy's face popped up on the virtual screen.
"Kukuy."
Yue asked a little strangely, "It's not time to go back yet, is it?" ”
Lilia on the side also approached curiously.
"The matter you asked me to check has a result."
Kukuy's words made Tsukiki sit up straight.
"Huh?"
"I'll be waiting for you at the Space Research Institute, month." Kukui said and hung up the communication.
His voice sounded tired.
Seeing the change in Yue's expression, Lilia on the side was a little curious.
"I'm sorry, Mao, I think I have to go."
Satsuki struggled for half a second before making a judgment.
"Huh? We've only just met again......"
Ma Ao suddenly stared at Yue in silence, and there was no guilt on the latter's face.
“……”
"I see."
Ma said, then trotting to the dining room kitchen.
"Daddy, they're leaving."
Then a man's rough voice said, "Oh, I'm really in a hurry, hahaha." ”
Tsukiki straightened up and looked at Lilia with an inquiring look in her eyes.
"Let's go together." Lilia said.
"Hmm."
Moon nodded simply, wanting to go out.
"Wait, wait!"
Behind him came a hurried voice from Mao.
“?”
Yue looked at the girl who was chasing after her in a hurry.
"I'm really sorry for you, Ah Yue, the dinner that should have been happy ended hastily."
Ma Ao said apologetically, bowing her head.
"That's my reason."
Yue shook her head slightly.
"There's a chance next time."
She said as she walked up.
Is there really a chance next time?
Neither Yue nor Ma Ao had a bottom in their hearts.
The girl in front of me didn't seem to fit into the girls' group much two years ago, maintaining a superficial politeness.
Of course, Yue didn't mean to do this, but the "male soul" in her heart always turned her in strange directions, and now it's too late to regret it.
What do boys want to whisper to each other, if they are not happy, they will yell out, and if they are not happy, they will fight.
That's what Yue thought at the time.
"The ......"
The brown-haired girl paused, thought for a moment, and raised her hand to say something.
"Month, this is your trial reward."
Mao's voice drowned out her words.
Mao said as she reached out and handed over a turquoise crystal.
"Grass." Yue muttered to herself.
"Counting the previous ordinary Z and the fire Z given by Kuchi (given after the trial), there are already three."
She hasn't seen how strong the Z skill is, but judging from the performance in the game, it's still worth getting the Z bracelet to use the Z power.
"Next time look for a chance to the doctor?" Moon thought darkly.
"Thank you."
She had some "how to pit the kind and simple Kukuy" in her head, and a sincere smile appeared on her face.
"No, you're welcome."
Mao's face was a little rosy, and she said in a hurry, turning and running away.
So, the next step is to head to the space research institute that Kukuy mentioned.
Moon glanced around.
She looked at Lilia and smiled.
"What, do you like flying?"
(Rhett, give me out overtime!) )
