Chapter 20: The Six Tails
The blue eyes were staring closely at the baby egg buried in the volcanic ash, and his fingers kept tapping his thighs, and Takumi's heart was also up and down at this time.
Just a few minutes ago, Takumi was about to change the direction of the baby egg wrapped in volcanic ash every four hours according to the record in the book, only to find that the surface of the baby eggshell shimmered with a layer of light.
Takumi, who has already learned the details of the six-tailed hatching from books, naturally knows what this phenomenon represents!
In order not to miss the moment when the Pokémon was born, Takumi sat directly in front of the hatching nest, waiting for the hatching of the six tails.
Compared to using Pokéballs to subdue Pokémon in the wild that have lost the ability to resist, Pokémon hatched from eggs will have a higher level of intimacy with the trainer.
The only trouble is that the trainer must protect the Pokémon through early childhood, and after a certain period of time, the Pokémon will have some combat ability.
While Takumi was thinking nonsense, the light on the Pokémon egg became brighter and brighter, and if it weren't for Takumi who had already drawn the curtains, this abnormality would definitely attract the attention of the surrounding residents.
A newborn six-tailed and a fourteen-year-old boy, these two seemingly non-lethal combinations will definitely make some people think of Takumi 'accidental death'.
No matter what world you are in, it is a rule worth abiding.

Accompanied by a dazzling white light, Takumi subconsciously closed his eyes and held his breath.
Until a series of crisp cracking sounds came into his ears, Takumi, who knew what was going on, slowly opened his eyes.
The dazzling white light had dissipated, and Takumi couldn't care about his still somewhat dizzy gaze, and quickly looked at the place where the baby egg was.
When he saw the little hairless head struggling to crawl out of the cracked eggshell, Takumi's face finally showed a smile.
The process of breaking the shell of the little six tails lasted for a full twenty minutes, and Takumi also carefully observed the little guy for twenty minutes.
The process of breaking the shell is the initial tempering for the newborn Pokémon, and helping it is harming it, and Takumi naturally knows this clearly.
However, when the whole body of the six tails crawled out of the egg and 'hummed' weakly on the volcanic ash, Takumi finally began to act in an orderly manner.
Two hours later, after wiping Six-Tails' body clean with a warm, damp cotton cloth and moving Six-Tails to a clean, refreshing nest, Takumi breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the Six Tails finally opened the eyes that had been closed before, and the amber eyes were just in front of Takumi's gaze, and after the little nose sniffed a little twice, the Six Tails let out a call of closeness towards Takumi.
"Yo ......"
The red mandarin fruit with the skin broken is placed in front of the six tails, and the six tails, who smell the fragrance, bury their little heads in the red orange fruit, sucking the sweet juice of the red orange fruit......
Seeing this, Takumi was extremely satisfied, and stretched out his index finger and gently stroked Rokuo's forehead.
"In the future, let's work together!"
……
A week later, Takumi, who was lying on his side on the bed, had just opened his eyes, and met a pair of big brown eyes without pupils, and greeted him very naturally.
"Good morning...... Six-tailed. ”
"Yo ......," the six tails also responded energetically.
Six-tails' cry made Takumi, who had just gotten up, feel good instantly, and carefully examined Six-Tails' appearance at this time, Takumi couldn't help but nod.
At this time, the six tails are completely different from when they were just born, and in Takumi's aesthetics, such a six tails are the six tails in his mind, at least the six tails of the semi-finished product.
The slightly thin reddish-brown fur, large pointed ears, dark brown inner ears, brown eyes without pupils, milky white belly, and brown claws make the intuitive impression of the six tails at this time.
The overall appearance of the six tails is more like a small fox, but compared with ordinary foxes, the six tails have a tuft of curly orange-red hair on the top of their heads, and its tail shows that it is different from ordinary foxes.
Takumi also got the six tails, and after reading the books exchanged from the system, he realized that the six tails were not born with six tails, and when the six tails were born, it only had one white tail.
As it grows, this tail forks, and the hair on the tail grows more and more beautifully, and after a week of careful care, Takumi's six tails have grown a second tail at this time, but this tail is only one-third the length of the other tail......
As for Takumi, all he needs to do now is to grow six tails steadily, and when that time comes, the six tails will be considered a real Pokémon.
After getting up, Takumi was a little busy, and after finishing the breakfast between himself and the six tails, Takumi began to prepare.
After staying in this room for almost half a month, Takumi felt that his whole body was about to become moldy, but fortunately, his relationship with the surrounding neighbors was not very good, and no one cared how long he hadn't been out.
But it's definitely not a way to go on like this, the neighbors won't be suspicious, and it's inevitable that those bad teenagers who have dealt with him before won't be suspicious.
He didn't want to be approached without any resistance, and there was only one way to easily solve this potential crisis.
Take advantage of it!
Packing up some important items and putting all the cash in his pocket, Takumi ignored the sound of the six tails "Yo Yo" and directly stuffed the six tails into the clothes on his chest.
One last glance at the hut where he lived, and under the cold eyes of his neighbors, Takumi ran straight towards the residence where Meisha and Masha were.
……
Half an hour later, Shinji, who was just about to go out, looked at Takumi with sweat on his forehead speechlessly, and pointed to the six tails that came out of Takumi's neckline.
"I said, Takumi, you won't have come all the way with this little thing, will you? If you're like this, you have to be careful when you go to bed at night. ”
Lifting the six tails out of the neckline, Takumi affectionately stroked the top of its head and smiled at Shinji.
"Hah...... Of course I noticed the strange looks of some guys on the road, but I'm going to move here, and I don't have the guts to do that with that garbage! ”
Nodding clearly, Shinji, who was already twenty years old, naturally understood what Takumi meant, and there was a hint of appreciation in the depths of his eyes.
Such a young, self-aware and survival wisdom of the younger generation, these years are rarely seen.
"If you want to live here, I can't be the master, I'll have to wait until Mesha agrees, but you can put your things in the room now, after all, it's not good to stay here at the door all the time."
"By the way, now Meisha and Masha have gone to deal with the affairs of a farm, where the livestock have been attacked in a row for the past few days, and the owner of the farm thinks that there is a wild Pokémon attack, so he entrusts them to solve the incident."
"You want to wait for them, I guess you'll have to wait for a while."
Takumi naturally heard the potential meaning of Shinji's words, and thanked Shinji with a little gratitude, after all, Shinji's meaning was already obvious, if he couldn't hear it, then he would be a fool.
If it weren't for the fact that he had already regarded Takumi as his own, Shinji would have explained it to Takumi in such detail? And let him into the room?
Due to Takumi's arrival, Shinji simply turned back, and Misa and Masha were not at the residence, so he could only personally guard the courtyard to deter some bad guys who had bad intentions because Takumi was carrying Pokémon.
It wasn't until night fell that Takumi and Shinji, who were chatting in the room, heard the noise outside and walked out of the room together.
Sure enough, it was Misa and Masha who returned to the courtyard with their hands, and when they saw Takumi coming out with Rokuo and Shinji in his arms, he was slightly stunned, and Shinji stepped forward to explain in a hurry.
In the eyes of the rest of the friends who kept looking at Takumi, Meisha directly agreed to Takuha's joining, and introduced it to the companions behind her.
"Takumi Fujiwara, you should have some impressions, of course, now his identity is a trainer, a trainer who stands with us!"
Looking at the people cheering because of the increase in the strength of the group, Takumi only looked at it slightly, and found that the appearance of these people was very similar to the other members of Musashi and Kojiro's group in the mission world, and he immediately understood that these people were probably the diehards of Misa's people in the real world.
Smiling and introducing himself, with Marsha's deliberate encouragement, the atmosphere between the crowd quickly became hot.
The dinner began with the laughter of nine people, a few glasses of sake, and the conversation immediately turned to what they had experienced today.
"Takumi, you know? The place where the farmer showed us had no clue at all, except for the messy marks on the ground and the hair of some livestock! ”
"We searched around that farm all day today, and we didn't even find the hair of a murderer, which is really unlucky!"
Nodding thoughtfully, Takumi then asked Meisa, who was sitting across from him.
"I think, big sister, you didn't plan this to end here, did you?!"
After chewing all the balls in her mouth and swallowing them, Meisa said with a white glance.
"When it's just us, let's call me Maisha...... As for the incident at the farm, I'm definitely going to fix it! ”
"Otherwise, we're going to lose some of the reputation we've worked so hard to earn, and we're going to give others the impression that the trainers I'm not reliable with Marsha."
"This must not be allowed!"
Mei Sha made a strong declaration, and everyone only paused for a second before shouting together.
"Never allow!"
After the voice subsided, Takumi tapped his fingers on the table a few times and asked softly.
"So Meisha, do you have any clues at present to confirm whether the thing that attacked the livestock is an ordinary beast such as a wild wolf, or a Pokémon?"
Seeing that Meisha shook her head, Takumi thought about it before speaking.
"Let me join the investigation of this incident!"
"You know, I'm part of the team!"
