Chapter 217: Final Retreat
At night, in the camp, near the campfire.
At the time when ordinary people are asleep, Takumi, Ai Ye is confronting Miss Qiuyue.
Both sides are very concerned about the cost of all-out war, so they refrain from acting for the time being, but want to upset the balance through words.
But the confrontation came to an end, and after Miss Akizuki pointed out the rather damaging point, Takumi had to give the toughest answer in the verbal exchange.
The emotions in the hearts of Six Tails and Ai Ye can be put aside for the time being, because in the current situation, the Gotha Duck with an unstable position is the key.
If the answer is successful, and Gotha Duck continues his current situation to trust himself, then, as Takumi pointed out, Miss Akizuki can't make up her mind to start the actual battle at the risk of a crushing victory, even death.
But if the answer can't satisfy the Gotha Duck and smash the glass heart that took it twenty days to calm down, then even if the Gotha Duck doesn't fall to Miss Qiuyue and just stands by, Takumi will be at an absolute disadvantage.
So, after saying what he thought in his heart, Takumi has been holding his breath and waiting for the response of Ai Ye, Six Tails, and Gotha Duck.
Secretly smiling bitterly, Takumi now really understands the phrase 'the most difficult thing to guess in the world is the human heart'.
Call~
"The answer ......"
"I should say, it's really worthy of Tuohai's answer~"
As Ai Ye exhaled heavily, with a little bitter smile and relief, Ai Ye's smiling face was also immediately reflected in Tuohai's eyes who were slightly tilted, which made Tuohai not know what to say for a while.
Moving his gaze to the Six Tails, the Pokémon who could be said to be the closest to him just tilted his head, and then stared at Miss Akizuki on the other side of the fire with a look of resentment, as if he had not been affected at all.
In the end, Takumi looked at the Gotha Duck who was still waiting for the battle, his body was tense, and he was staring at the dream demon and Miss Qiuyue tightly, and Takumi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of anything else, the Gotha Duck's current posture alone has shown that it is still on its side.
As if sensing Takuha's gaze, Gotha Duck glanced at Takumi with slanted eyes, and quickly retracted his gaze.
It was just a small action, but it made Takumi feel as if he had taken a reassuring pill, and his firm and confident eyes returned to Miss Qiuyue, and he also felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
It's not just Ai Ye who is familiar with his personality, but even Six Tails and Gotha Duck know a lot about themselves as trainers.
Tuohai's statement may seem strange to the hot-blooded teenagers, but Ai Ye and the three of them felt Tuohai's 'sincerity'.
"Tsk, that's a ......"
With a smile on his face, Takumi just looked at Miss Akizuki quietly.
Sighing helplessly, Miss Akizuki walked directly to Barn, whose body was already cold, and began to search for his belongings.
Looking at the dream demon swaying up and down around Miss Akizuki, Takumi gave up the idea of letting Gotha Duck take the opportunity to sneak attack, as for attacks such as kunai and Six-Tails' jet flames, Takumi didn't think that Miss Akizuki would be defenseless at this time.
Moreover, Miss Akizuki's action is already obvious, she is telling Takumi.
Divide the spoils!
If it weren't for Miss Akizuki's existence, Takumi would have probably finished the looting by this time, and by the way, Barn's body would have been disposed of.
But that's only if.
The reality is that Takumi has to make concessions and give away the loot that has not yet arrived, and hand over most of the loot!
The reason is very simple, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and this is so realistic.
Miss Akizuki's loot snatching action is very skillful, and the corners of Takumi's eyes twitch when she looks at it.
"This guy looks like he's done this kind of thing before when he's traveling......"
Soon, the valuable things on Barn's body were sorted out by Miss Akizuki and placed in front of the fire.
There are six Pokéballs, a badly injured Owl Falcon, a little Pokémon food, a little cash, and a bank card.
Well, there is also a small cloth bag, Takumi, who is not personally searched, does not know what is in it for the time being.
"Now, it's time for us to discuss the ownership of the loot~"
So far, Miss Qiuyue doesn't want to have any more troubles, although the main purpose of her tracking this time, Gotha Duck has not arrived, but this is also related to her misjudgment.
Who would have thought that a Pokémon that only thought about defecting twenty days ago, and has not given Takumi a good look in the past twenty days, is actually willing to obey Takumi's command?
"Barn's death is not unjust......"
Thinking of Bath, Miss Akizuki was in a slightly better mood, although the main target was not successful, but there was also a windfall, and this tracking was not in vain.
Before Miss Akizuki's words came out, Takumi didn't pay attention to the voice that could tickle people's hearts, and directly expressed his opinion.
"Belonging? I wonder if you used the wrong word, Miss Akizuki? It should be, distribution, right?! ”
Takumi's reaction was very fierce, although Takumi felt that if he was on Miss Akizuki's side and encountered this situation, he would definitely want to take it all for himself.
But now, he is the weaker side, although he does not have the luxury of fifty-fifty shares, but he also wants to strive for more benefits for himself.
"Money and bank cards for you?"
Miss Akizuki's tone was a little playful, and she seemed to enjoy this mode of dialogue.
Seeing this, Takumi shook his head violently.
If all the money in the bank card was taken out and placed in front of him, according to the accumulation of years of a veteran trainer, then he might agree.
But with that meager amount of cash, even if there was more money in the bank card, Takumi felt that even if his brain was in water, he would not accept this suggestion.
He can't withdraw the money from the bank card, what is he going to do?
Seeing Takumi shaking her head, Miss Qiuyue was not angry, she originally said casually, if Takumi really agreed, she probably had to wonder what Takumi was planning.
After all, this boy in her eyes just said something revenge that made her shudder.
If Takumi really chose to take the money and leave, she probably had to try to eliminate this potential threat, because the other party did not show kindness......
People are so strange sometimes.
His gaze swept over the objects on the ground, and Takumi's gaze finally rested on the cloth bag.
Since it was carried by Barnes and stored separately, it should be something of value, right?
"Excuse me, what's in that bag? Jewelry? ”
Glancing at Takumi, Miss Akizuki bent down to pick up the cloth bag from the ground, with a hint of playfulness on her face.
"Takumi, are you interested in this? But I'm a little reluctant to hand it over to you like this......"
Although Takumi knew that Miss Akizuki said this on purpose, it was undeniable that Takumi's curiosity about what was in the cloth bag had suddenly increased a lot.
But before Takumi could ask, Miss Qiuyue took the initiative to open the cloth bag and spread the objects inside the cloth bag in the palm of her hand and introduced.
"The Moon Stone, also known as the Moon Stone, is like the Water Stone and the Fire Stone, which can allow some Pokémon to evolve."
"For example, the Nidoran in your hand, after it evolves into Nidolino, you can evolve into the King of Nido with the power of the Moon Stone."
Seeing Takumi's flat nod, Miss Akizuki had no interest in continuing, and hastily introduced the Moon Stone that had been stored separately by Barn.
"Well, looking at the way you look, you should already know it. Also, after all, the Light Red Dokan is known for its use of poisonous Pokémon, and I'm afraid someone told you about it when you got this Nidorang......"
Seeing Miss Akizuki's appearance, Takumi probably guessed some thoughts in her heart, nothing more than jealousy that she had a good background.
In this regard, Takumi didn't bother to defend anything.
Teaching in a Pokémon Workshop, it seems that he has a good salary and a stable life, but he has also lost his freedom.
As far as Takumi knows, the contracts for these mentors in the Pokémon Study are basically starting from ten years, even if the four Asuke take advantage of the school reform to become teaching assistants in the school as rookie trainers, the formal contract signed is five years.
Those who go home to inherit the gym after traveling at every turn are not mentioned for the time being, even those trainers who have power funding are more inclined to their own forces when it comes to choosing the direction of work.
Theoretically, only ordinary trainers will choose this kind of high-paying and stable profession after they are tired of the exhausting practice, even if they are equivalent to being tied to the Pokémon Research Class for a long time in the future.
Of course, those who can enter the Pokémon Research Class are generally good at ordinary trainers.
And a trainer from an ordinary background wants to start, and even climb to the strength of Miss Akizuki, Takumi can imagine how much effort this woman has put into the process.
For a trainer like him who goes out with the label of [Light Red Dao Gym], although he is not hateful, he will also feel bad in his heart.
Seeing this, Tuohai didn't say much, and said directly.
"I want this Moon Stone!"
After thinking about it, Takumi added.
"If you agree, Miss Akizuki, we probably won't see each other again after tonight......"
Frowning and thinking about it, Miss Akizuki nodded in agreement with Takumi's proposal, and with a flick of her wrist, the Moon Stone turned into a parabola, flew over the bonfire, and landed firmly on the ground......
Glancing at Takumi, who had taken Ai Ye and Gotha Duck to dodge several meters away, Miss Qiuyue was also a little speechless for Takumi's caution, or fear of death.
"I still have a Moon Stone in my hand, and I don't need this thing urgently, so I can only let it lie in the back of my backpack for a short time, otherwise, at most I will give you a Pokémon."
At this time, the two sides have almost shaken hands and made peace, and there is also a retreat in their hearts, compared with the solemn atmosphere of the dialogue before, the environment at this time seems much more relaxed.
Hearing Miss Qiuyue's words, Takumi, whose eyes were still looking at the moon stone on the ground, as if he wanted to find some trap from it, said casually.
"You also have a Moonstone? Could it be that the instructors of the Pokémon Research class can't each have a moon stone? ”
Originally, it was just a casual question, but Miss Qiuyue nodded and answered seriously.
"That's fine, a few months ago, the school's warehouse had a large amount of new Moon Stones, and all incumbents could buy a Moon Stone at half price according to the school's internal valuation, and basically everyone bought ...... at that time."
For a moment, Takumi had the slightest thought of regretting leaving the Pokémon Workshop, but he was dispelled by Takumi in the blink of an eye.
Welfare is such a thing, after all, it comes from the will of others.
Whatever he wants, he can get it with his Pokémon.
Dismissive of the Owl Nighthawk and the Pork Ball on the ground, Takumi let Miss Akizuki put away the Po Po Ball and other things on the ground, and watched her and the Dream Demon disappear into the night.
If it was before this month, Takumi might have chosen Pokémon, but after experiencing the Gotha Duck incident, coupled with Abby Lang's performance at that time, Takumi would never have this kind of behavior of forcibly occupying the other party's Pokémon after killing people again.
……
"Takumi, we~"
Three minutes and minutes later, seeing that there was nothing unusual for a long time, Ai Ye just wanted to speak, and his soft lips met Tuohai's erected index finger.
Like a frightened rabbit, he took a few steps back, and before Ai Ye, whose face was flushed, could speak, Takumi's voice had already sounded.
"Miss Qiuyue, I don't want to send you, you better go back by yourself!"
A few seconds later, a slightly resentful, surprised female voice sounded in the night sky before dawn, it was Miss Akizuki who had just left.
"It's really blinding, I didn't expect you to be the most hidden one among the five teaching assistants at that time, a superpower person with the identity of a disciple of the Light Red Dao Pavilion......"
"No wonder you're in a match, Pokémon are so autonomous! No wonder you were able to quietly establish a connection with Gotha Duck under my attention! No wonder you spotted me twice! ”
"If you still have the identity of a superpower, then everything makes sense."
"And what you said before, that you ran away anyway, seems to mean teleportation. Teleportation with the ninja's skills, you do have that ability to escape......"
"Never again!!"
As a huge black shadow flew into the distance, Miss Qiuyue's voice gradually faded away.
It was only then that Takumi completely relaxed, and suddenly lay down on the ground, opened his mouth wide, and laughed silently.
Although there are some things that are right in the 'truth' that Miss Akizuki said, it is more from her own brain.
And the key to this brain supplement is that Takumi once again broke her hidden traces.
However, this time Tuohai is not a fraud, but a well-founded guess.
Before tonight, Takumi had only two impressions of Miss Akizuki.
One is her sultry femininity, and the other is her eagle that knocked out the hot monkey in one blow on the way from Dead Leaf City to the Pokémon Workshop.
How could a veteran trainer not think of owning a Pokémon that can fly manned.
In other words, with a sculpture suitable for manning, Miss Akizuki, who is a veteran trainer, may not allow herself to have a more versatile means?
In this cloudless, bright moon night sky, Takumi waited for three minutes, but did not see the figure of the eagle taking off.
At this point, does Miss Qiu Yue still want to walk back to the magical research class?
