Chapter 34: I Came First
At the top of Tianzhu Mountain, the snow turned into crystal.
At the end of the 211 road, the crystal turned into a turquoise torrent.
"Be careful, little yes."
"Sister, you too, watch out for the below."
Above the river, Yelan and Shirona were walking on a wooden bridge, which was made of rather aged material, so they had to be careful.
"I didn't come from here last time, it looks like these wooden bridges... It was oxidized by the wind blowing from the valley and the moisture of the river. β
Sirona said with a thoughtful expression.
"Shouldn't this be a national highway? Why didn't the Alliance send someone to repair it? Yellan asked, a little strangely.
Speaking of this, Sirona explained with a distressed look:
"Grandma and I have both suggested it, but everyone in the alliance doesn't seem to be willing to get it."
[Unwilling... Is it? ]
Looking around Road 211, Yelan seemed to understand something.
Route 211 is off the beaten track, which has to do with its location.
Route 211 is a straight road, connecting only the town of Kamiwa and the mountain of Dianyuan, the former is also said to be sparsely populated, and the latter is not even considered human territory at all. It is this geographical location that puts Route 211 in a very awkward position.
Nominally it counts as a national highway, but in reality the Sinnoh Alliance has never taken it to heart. Because even if it costs manpower and material resources to renovate, it will not bring much convenience to regional transportation, so it is better to simply save resources and leave it alone.
Walking on the rapids between the stacks has to be said to be an exciting but short experience, Yelan and Sirona, who are accompanied by elves, naturally do not really encounter any danger, so they quickly come to the other side of the bridge safe and sound.
Looking at the artificially dug cave in front of him, Yelan said, "This is the foot of Dianyuan Mountain?" β
"Yes, we're here, are you hungry? Shall we finish our lunch here before going in? Shirona suggested.
When Yelan heard this, he suddenly felt reasonable, although there were artificially erected miner's lamps in the cave, they were a little dark in the end, and it was obviously not a suitable place to eat. On the other hand, outside, the weather is clear and the mountains are flowing water, which is very suitable for picnics.
Thinking that the elves were also hungry, Yelan nodded and agreed:
"Hmm...... The elves are also hungry, and it will take us physical strength to explore the caves, so let's eat here! β
"Then let's try the bento I made."
The two released their own elves, and the riverbank suddenly became lively.
Everyone first put picnic cloths near the mountain rocks, and then took out the food boxes of each elf and poured the corresponding food, Meloeta and Tianxi used human dinner plates, and Yelan also prepared food boxes for the green birds and Hua Ye Di before the trip, but Hua Ye Di said that they had eaten together before, and insisted on eating with Yelan, but Yelan had no choice but to agree.
"Whew, it's finally done, everyone's worked hard."
After a busy while, Yelan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her sister Sirona, who was still distributing food for the land sharks
I was sitting on a napple and opened the lid of the bento that was on my lap.
There are two food boxes, one of which holds four rectangular sandwiches, and the other box contains tuna and vegetable salad.
'It's about the same as in the morning, why do you feel like there's something missing......
With a sigh in his heart, Yelan said, "I'm moving," and then picked up a sandwich to put in his mouth......
"Staringβ"
Yelan suddenly felt a strange gaze, and turned her head to look, only to see Hua Yedi staring at her with big round eyes... A sandwich in the right hand.
"Uh... Mosaic, your food is there. β
As he spoke, Yelan pointed to a plate next to him, which contained superpower-based elf rations.
Hearing this, Mohamedi turned her head to look, shook her head again, and turned back to continue staring at Yelan.
"Flower ...... (We used to eat together...... οΌβ
"Before? Together? Do you mean this sandwich? β
The power of Mana translated Yelan and asked, pointing to the sandwich in his right hand with some strange feelings.
"Flowers." Mohama nodded.
"But it's human food."
"Flowers (it's okay, you can eat anything but flesh and flowers)."
After thinking about it, Tianxi and they can eat anything, Yelan nodded helplessly and agreed:
"Hmm... Okay"
"Flowers!"
Flower Leaf pounced happily and took a small bite of the sandwich in Yelan's right hand.
Seeing that Hua Yedi was eating happily, Yelan picked up another sandwich and said:
"Yo Xi, then I should almost ...... too"
"My lord, what are you eating? It's delicious. β
As soon as the cute and honest doll sounded, Yelan didn't have to look back this time to know that it was Tianxi.
Tianxi jumped up behind Yelan and took a bite of it.
"Hmm... Tastes good, my master. β
The cute little princess said vaguely and rubbed Yelan at the same time.
[You're just here to make trouble...... οΌ½
Yellam thought that he didn't believe that Tianxi hadn't eaten these things.
I had no choice but to do it.
"Hey, Meloita, do me a favor...... Wait, what are you doing?! β
Yelan, who was occupied on both hands, planned to ask Meloeta to help him get a sandwich, but he was surprised to see Meloetta fly on top of the sandwich, and "curiously" picked up a sandwich and took it into his mouth.
'Meroyeta, has even a good boy like you betrayed the revolution?! β
Just when Yellam was helpless, Sirona walked over after throwing in the food.
It's really inferior, to be bullied by your own elves and find parents or something, but now there's no way to do it.
Yellam pleaded:
"Oh, sister, you're here, hurry... Get them... Branches? β
Before she finished speaking, she saw that Sirona seemed to remember something, took out the Xiaoice box from her backpack, opened it and took out the box of ice cream that had just been iced.
"Xiao Ya, choose an ice cream!"
Noticing the pleasure in Sirona's tone, Yelan knew that things were not good, and he had finally discovered the source of the sense of disobedience!
"Hmm! It's not good to eat ice cream on a cold day. β
This is an excuse, in fact, Yelan has always suspected that her mother gave all her love for ice cream to Sirona when she was pregnant with her, resulting in her dislike of ice cream at all. By the way, there was also a leftover ice cream this morning.
"That's right! I didn't eat the ice cream I made this morning, eh... Well, sure enough, Xiao Ye still likes grandma's more than what I do......"
Sirona first finished the first half of the sentence naturally, and then suddenly lowered her head in a sad tone, with a loveless expression on her face, and quickly raised her head to observe her brother's face while Yelan was not paying attention.
[You found out!] οΌ½
Yelan had no choice but to agree:
"Okay, I'll eat ice cream, sister, don't think too much."
When Sirona heard this, she raised her head happily and said excitedly:
"Sure enough, Xiao Ye is the best! You have both hands occupied, sister come and feed you. β
"Uh... All right. β
Yellam was a little suspicious in his heart: 'Didn't you really negotiate?' β
With the idea of casually coming to deal with her sister's morning journey after eating, Yelan gestured to one of them with her eyes.
Shirona: "This is... Orange Islands phoenix pepper durian herring flavor? Xiao Ya's taste is really unique. β
"Huh??"
Yelan Orange Islands knows that the tropical seas located in the southeast of the Kanto region are rich in tropical crops and seafood, and the herring with phoenix pepper and durian is a local specialty.
But when these are made into ice cream, even if the land shark is as calm as a column, it will show a frightened expression when it hears it next to it. Yelan could even hear the grunts of Sirona's elves.
"Sister, I think we'd better change the taste."
"Really? It's a pity, isn't it? Xiao Ya, this is a specialty of the Orange Islands. Sirona looked very sorry.
"No thanks, please give me a vanilla flavor, thank you." Yelan refused in a motionless manner.
Sirona asked curiously, "Okay! But Xiaoye, why did you suddenly use honorifics for your sister? β
After saying that, Sirona put the pineapple durian herring specialty back in the refrigerator, and then took out two vanilla-flavored ice creams from the refrigerator.
"Ice Elf, the refrigerator is for you, Xiao Ya, ah~~"
"Ice~" The ice elf came in response and took the refrigerator away with elegant steps.
Sirona quickly opened the lid and spooned it and handed it to Yelan's mouth.
"Hmm... I see, ah~~"
Yellan can't remember the last time someone fed him, but he often fed others, but being fed seemed a bit naΓ―ve to Yellan who was volunteered by adults, so usually Gadelia Kamiszre and they were rejected by Yelan when they wanted to. However, because both hands were occupied this time, the helpless young man had to make a compromise and ask for it all.
What Yelan didn't know was that perhaps, traveling with her favorite brother would also be a great joy for Sirona. A 21-year-old girl rarely shows a different side from her mature age.
Lunch ended with a bite to eat, and at last Yelan was surprised to find that the three elves had eaten only a little, and the sandwiches ended up in Yelan's stomach.
After lunch, everyone packed their belongings and sank into the tunnel.
