Ma Li sat aside, quietly looking at the snow demon girl who was crying suppressed, and then retracted her gaze, picked up the letters on the table and looked at them.

She didn't look at it quickly, slowly, and she couldn't see any expression on her pretty face.

Xu Qiansu reached out and took the envelope that Ma Li had read, and slowly read it for the Snow Demon Maiden.

This is a letter from a year ago.

"On January 25th, my, the lovely Snow Demon Girl, I completed a rewarding task today, received a commission of 50,000 yuan, and sent it back to our account...... Buy more of what you like. ”

“……”

"On February 3, the mission failed...... I was beaten to the ground, but it doesn't matter, the summary is insufficient, and I will find it again next time! Hum! With the help of the BOSS, I was able to get a batch of very good quality apple seeds...... This is your favorite tree fruit, and I will plant it in our courtyard when I get back. ”

“……”

"March 5...... Snow Witch? Is something going on at home? Why haven't you replied to me for more than a month? ”

"March 6...... Got an accident at home? Snow Demon Girl ......"

"March 7th......" Xu Qiansu paused, then put down the envelope and chose not to read it to the Snow Demon Girl.

The Snow Demon Maiden's tears had already soaked Xu Qiansu's clothes.

Marley was still silently looking at the envelope, and after some time, she put down the last letter and said, "The date of the last letter is until June...... However, judging from the content of the letter, there are no surprises from this Team Rocket person......"

"She's come to the Garrell to find the Snow Maiden?"

"Hmm." Ma Li nodded lightly, and then said: "The Galel area is not big, but it is not small, and the Snow Demon Maiden has been imprisoned before, so it is understandable that she can't find it, but since the alliance announced the information of the Snow Demon Maiden, no one has come to adopt it......"

The rest of the words were not said by Mary, but what she meant was already obvious.

As a member of Team Rocket, this person named Scarlet usually does the work of snatching Pokémon, and must have made a lot of enemies, so when she leaves Team Rocket and loses her protection, it is possible that she will either be approached by the enemy, or arrested by the Alliance or Interpol, or even die in the Galel particle riot......

Either guess is not good, but in light of the current situation, this guess is undoubtedly the most reasonable.

However, it is also possible that she has been incognito quite well after leaving the Rockets, but for some reason she has not seen the information released by the league.

Ma Li glanced at Xu Qiansu and asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Find her." Xu Qiansu said.

The Snow Maiden raised her face to look at him.

"Find? How to find it? Go to Team Rocket? Miss Mary asked with a light sigh as expected, without raising her eyelids.

Xu Qiansu looked at the messy green vines sprinkled in the sunset outside the window, and said: "I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death, I am only seventeen years old, and I can live for a long time, so I will find out more news in my future travel...... There has to be an end to this, but it must not end in such a hurry. ”

"Why do you want to do this? She's not a Pokémon...... It's hard work, but it's not good at all. Marley asked as she slowly put the letter into the envelope.

"Although I am a selfish man, but in the world, there are always some things that are higher than others, and I don't look at the interests and don't look at the loss......" Xu Qiansu retracted his gaze, looked at Ma Li, and said with a chuckle.

"I don't understand." Ma Li sorted out the stack of envelopes in her hand, unmoved, and said lightly.

Xu Qiansu smiled, and then looked at Chirulian.

Seeing this, Chirulian, who had been staring at the Snow Demon Girl closely, quickly withdrew her gaze and tilted her little head cutely.

"Because I'm also a trainer." Xu Qiansu explained.

……

It is getting westerly and sparsely populated, full of fireworks, and suitable for seclusion, but it is all at this point, and they do not call it Steel Crow Express.

The two simply stayed overnight in the cleaned courtyard and left early the next morning.

Xu Qiansu wrote a letter and put it in the shoe cabinet in the entrance, leaving his contact information...... After all, there is a possibility that the trainer of the Snow Demon Maiden will return.

Marie tidied up the envelopes from the past year and put them in her satchel...... It's kind of a snow witch for safekeeping.

The Snow Demon Maiden took out a bank card from the top of the cupboard and handed it to Xu Qiansu.

"Naimu......"

"Where did all the money your trainer give you?" Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned and guessed.

The Snow Demon Girl nodded, and pushed her hands against Xu Qiansu's hand holding the bank card.

At this moment, the snow demon girl was full of confusion and didn't know what to do, but Xu Qiansu said that she wanted to help her find her trainer...... The Snow Demon Maiden wants to repay her, but she has nothing.

She only had this money left, so she gave it all to Xu Qiansu.

It's all she has.

Xu Qiansu looked at the Snow Demon Girl, then put away the bank card without refusing.

He nodded the forehead of the Snow Demon Maiden and said again, "Xiaolin Daiyu." ”

Everyone left the courtyard, locked the door, and the flying cap uncle, who had been notified in advance, hugged his arms, leaned on the carriage, and stood in front of the courtyard, looking very storytelling.

He beckoned to the two.

"Yo! Two guests, where do you want to go this time? ”

Although the uncle is enthusiastic, he doesn't care about the private affairs of the two at all.

"Snow Town." Xu Qiansu replied.

Miss Joy's request was still in his heart, and he should go back to visit Miss Dale because of the disaster in Snowy Town, and he was about to leave Galel.

And...... She likes ghost-based Pokémon, and she must be able to shine a light on the snow demon girl.

The Snow Demon Maiden didn't have Poké Balls, and the inconvenience of this aside, Xu Qiansu alone wasn't sure how long it would take to find her trainer...... It could be tomorrow, it could be a month, it could be a year, it could be ten years......

It would be better to leave it to Miss Dale's care than to let her suffer with her.

The steel crow flies through the sky.

In the carriage, the snow demon girl silently held Xu Qiansu's arm, her expression full of trance.

Ma Li propped her face on the side and looked out the window boredly.

After a short time, the steel armored crow landed in front of Cuixue Town.

"If there's a need, just call me." The flying cap uncle pretended to be handsome and waved his hand to the two, and galloped away with the steel crow.

"When the crow evolves in the future, I can support my family with him through this." Xu Qiansu looked at the handsome and extraordinary steel armored crow with a little envy, and then turned back to Ma Li and said.

Ma Li was not interested in Xu Qiansu's future work, and she walked straight in the direction of Pokémon Center.

Obviously, he knows the purpose of Xu Qian's visit.

Xu Qiansu looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Cuixue Town, and was a little embarrassed.

The disaster in Cuixue Town is indeed much more serious than that of Retrospective Town and Mupole Town, and the reconstruction work has not yet ended.

After all, there is nothing special about this town, and the Alliance's guards are relatively weak.

But...... Xu Qiansu looked at the saccharuples carrying wood, stones, wooden boxes, etc., and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

This...... It seems that the marsupial beasts have survived the winter, so they came directly to Cuixue Town to help with the disaster......

"Garu?" A baby saccharupon, holding a small box of relief supplies, saw Xu Qiansu, tilted his little head, and then ran in front of him with his little short legs.

I remember you!

Its large, dark eyes reveal this meaning.

Its mother blinked and walked over, but she put down the wood she was carrying, took out a few tree fruits from her pocket and handed them to Xu Qiansu, "Gaa." ”

Xu Qiansu smiled gently, took the tree fruit, and then took out the Poké Ball to release the pouchy beast.

"Karui?"

"Garu?"

The two little pouches that were not much different in size, but their appearance was quite different, stared at each other blankly for a moment, and then tilted their heads at the same time, took out the little treasures they had saved from their small pockets, and exchanged them with each other.

The mother marsupial looked at the marsupial beast, which did not look very similar to the marsupial group, and couldn't help but have a hint of pampering in her eyes, she squatted down and gently rubbed her small skull cap with claws the size of the marsupial beast's five heads.

Unconsciously, the surrounding marsupial beasts all gathered, took out the small things they had stored from their pockets and put them into the small pouches of the marsupial beasts, and after they were full, they stuffed them into Xu Qiansu's hands.

The meaning is obvious, let him take good care of the little marsupial.

Xu Qiansu was entangled by the marsupial beasts for a while before he barely got out with the marsupial beast.

Miss Ma Li stood aside with her chest in her arms, silently watching Xu Qiansu squeeze out of the marsupial herd before nodding lightly and continuing to walk in the direction of the Pokémon Center.

Xu Qiansu quickly followed her footsteps and said, "The marsupial beasts are rushing to help the town with disaster relief, and it is estimated that this is the only town in the entire Galar region. ”

"Otherwise, this place wouldn't be called Cuixue Town." Ma Li turned her head to look at the little bag beast that was held in Xu Qiansu's arms, with a full small pocket, and stretched out her hand and gently scratched her chin.

"Bamboo~" waited for the vicinity of the Pokémon Center, and Xu Qiansu hadn't walked for a while when he heard a familiar cute voice.

He looked up and saw a chubby, sweet bamboo with a few extremely tender leaves in its mouth, flying down from the tree, and the calyx on its head was like a propeller, shaking rapidly.

"Zhuzhu~(You're coming to play with me~)" Xu Qiansu held the pouch beast, and without taking it with his hand, it landed on Xu Qiansu's shoulder and rubbed his cheek affectionately.

"Bamboo~(Spring is coming~ This is a fresh leaf that has just grown for a few days~)" it said.

Xu Qiansu laughed.

He pulled out a hand and took the leaf.

The little pouch beast raised its face and looked at Xu Qiansu curiously, thinking to himself why did he eat leaves? Are the leaves delicious?

Xu Qiansu fed the pouch beast a piece and chewed and swallowed the rest of the leaves himself.

"Ka, Kaluru!" The pouch beast chewed curiously for a while, but the sweetness of the sweet bamboo itself dissipated, and the bitterness of the leaves spread in its mouth.

She subconsciously opened her mouth and wanted to spit it out, but when she saw that Xu Qiansu had eaten it, she closed her eyes tightly, swallowed it vigorously, and then leaned on Xu Qiansu's arms, gasped weakly, and spit out her pink little tongue.

"Why haven't you seen you all these days, and you've gained so much weight?" Xu Qiansu pinched the calyx on the head of the sweet bamboo and asked with a smile.

"Zhuzhu Zhu~(Someone feeds me food every day~She's also my friend~)" The calyx on the head of the sweet bamboo pointed in the direction of the center of the Pokémon.

Miss Dale...... Xu Qiansu thought about it, and immediately took out the elf food and fed it to Sweet Bamboo Bamboo.

By the time Xu Qiansu finished meeting with his old friends, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Miss Mary looked at him silently.

"Sorry for not paying attention to the time."

Marley shook her head slightly, and then the two walked towards the Pokémon Center together.

The familiar doorbell rang, but Xu Qiansu didn't see the person he expected, which made him slightly stunned.

The interior of the Pokémon Center is not much different, with doctors and trainers holding Pokémon coming and going, but Miss Dale's place was replaced by two male and female caretakers.

"Moon mourning!?" When the caretaker saw Xu Qiansu and Ma Li, his eyes lit up, and he trotted over directly, raising his face to look at Xu Qiansu.

Obviously, they also have a deep impression of Xu Qiansu.

Xu Qiansu touched the cute little horns on their heads and asked, "What about Miss Dale?" ”

The female housekeeper took Xu Qiansu's hand and walked towards the ward behind the Pokémon Center, and the male housekeeper was still watching in the lobby of the Pokémon Center and did not follow.

Xu Qiansu's heart sank slightly, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

As he hurried, he saw the caretaker bypass the wards, through the corridors, to a room, take out the key, and hear a 'click' as the door opens.

This is naturally Miss Dale's room, but she is not shy about leading Xu Qiansu.

Xu Qiansu stepped into the door with some concern, turned his head to look, but saw Miss Dale lying on the table, the sound of even breathing came slowly, and the exhaustion on her delicate face could not be hidden.

"Moon Funeral ......" The caretaker raised his face and looked at Xu Qiansu, made a gesture of pounding medicine with both hands, and then put his hands together on his face, tilted his head, closed his eyes, and then continued to make the action of pounding medicine, and finally pointed at Dale, looking distressed.

Immediately, the housekeeper made an angry expression again, crossed her waist with one hand, stood on tiptoe, and pointed to the doll that Dale had placed on the bed, as if this doll was Miss Dale, she looked angry, and kept saying something, but she made no sound.

Finally, she took Xu Qiansu's hand and pointed at Dale again.

What she means is that Dale has been working very hard to treat Pokémon these days, and she doesn't sleep much, and she hopes that Xu Qiansu can teach her a good lesson and let her rest well.

With that, she left the room and closed the door...... It's not that she wants to leave space for Xu Qiansu, it's just that she wants Xu Qiansu to teach Dale a lesson, and she feels sorry for someone who is murdering Dale, so she simply closes the door, thinking that as long as she can't hear it, then no one will murder her trainer.

She leaned against the door, covered her ears cutely, and immediately made eye contact with Miss Mary, who was walking a little slower and belated.

"Moon mourning!?" The caretaker was taken aback, and inexplicably felt that the atmosphere around him was a little cold.

Ma Li looked at the caretaker who closed the room tightly, and her lips opened slightly, but in the end she didn't say a word.

She hugged her Eevee and silently leaned against the wall of the corridor, quietly waiting for Xu Qiansu to come out.

His face was expressionless, and the temperature around him plummeted, as if Cuixue Town was still in that winter.

The waiter stands straight, let alone covering his ears, and he doesn't even dare to make any extra movements at the moment.

Xu Qiansu stepped forward, looked at Dale lying on the table, and paid attention to the documents under her, through the gap, you could see that it was a Pokémon's medical examination and analysis sheet.

He withdrew his gaze and looked around.

Miss Dale's room is decorated with a ghostly feel, with black and purple as the main color, and the bed sheets and bedding are dark purple with the pattern of Geng.

Even the decorative paintings on the walls are mostly ghost-type Pokémon, or a photo of her with a ghost-type Pokémon.

Only one picture frame is out of step with this strong ghostly style.

It was a photo of Xu Qiansu at the Mulan Research Institute, holding Pokémon such as Wrestling Eagle Man and Pumpkin Essence with Miss Ma Li.

It was also the first time he had sent her a photo.

Xu Qiansu retracted his gaze, did not call her up, but took off his coat to cover her, and then held the little bag beast, sat aside, and waited for her silently.

But Dale didn't sleep deeply, but in five minutes, she woke up with a sudden start, and there was still something to be done...... The gel pen on the table was touched by her, rolled around, and fell to the ground.

She rubbed her eyes and subconsciously reached for the gel pen.

"Give."

She bent over, raised her face, and looked at Xu Qiansu who handed her a gel pen in front of her.

Smack-

The coat that Xu Qiansu covered her slipped and fell to the ground because of her posture.
