Following.

Early morning.

Today's weather is fine, the sky is blue, and the white clouds on it seem to have been painted with a paintbrush.

Xu Qiansu slept until seven o'clock before waking up.

He tilted his head to look to the side, where Gadelia was staring at him with a side face.

"Good morning...... I woke up early today. Xu Qiansu yawned and straightened up.

"Aren't you going for a morning run today?" Gadelia bowed slightly, and then asked curiously.

"Sleep in and relax." Xu Qiansu stretched her waist, turned over and got out of bed, put on a white shirt and black trousers, and when she came back from washing, Gardelia was already sitting in front of the dresser, holding her hair.

Xu Qiansu stepped forward and reached out to caress her smooth blonde hair that hung down to the back of her head.

Gadelia slapped his hand away, "Don't touch it. ”

Xu Qiansu touched her slender shoulders again, pressed it gently, and asked, "Kimono, how is it?" ”

"Your taste is too bad...... Is there only white in the eyes? Gardelia said mercilessly.

Xu Qiansu bought her a white kimono embroidered with bamboo, similar to the ink style.

"Because your skin is white, it's suitable for white."

Gadelia didn't bother to speak, slowly tying her hair into braids in front of the mirror, and then she asked, "How did you handle Lilia's matter?" ”

"The rabbi has been found."

"Then why don't you change your body back?" Gardelia tied her hair, hung it down in front of her, reached out and pulled the bangs on her forehead, and asked softly in a languid tone.

"I want to find a way to do it."

"Naive." Jiadelia sneered, she looked back and raised her little face, looked at Xu Qiansu, her apricot eyes narrowed slightly, "Beware of falling in, it is difficult to extricate yourself." ”

"How did you get in?" Xu Qiansu leaned down and held Gadelia's pink lips.

After a while, Gadelia used all her strength to push Xu Qiansu away, took a few breaths, and then said in a threatening tone, "Because of her special status, I allow you to spend more time with her, don't get carried away." ”

"No, it won't."

"It's better to be like this." Gadelia snorted coldly, then reached out to hold Xu Qiansu's hand, stepped forward, opened her mouth and bit it at the tiger's mouth, and then looked up at Xu Qiansu, like an angry feline and said, "If you dare to do anything wrong, I will definitely threaten Rabi Shi and ask her to send you back to the Xicui area." ”

"Then your previous efforts were not in vain?"

"That's right, it's just to cut you off, and there is no meaning of owing each other."

"Really?"

"Fake." Gardelia's tone softened again, "How can I be willing to cut you off?" At most, it's going to bury you in the ground. ”

"Then I hope that in a hundred years, your tomb will be next to mine."

"Curse me to death?"

"I just hope that we should at least be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks, so that there will be no regrets." Xu Qiansu replied.

Gadelia's apricot eyes narrowed, and then she smiled slightly happily, "That's right, even if we die, we will be buried together...... At the very least, they can be buried together......"

Xu Qiansu reached out and grabbed Gardelia's waist, picked her up, and put her on the dresser.

"I haven't washed yet...... You go away...... Not. ”

The temple fair is at night, so naturally there is no need to be too anxious at this moment.

Xu Qiansu and Ma Li planned to go to the coffee shop to pass the time first.

Gadelia went back to sleep after breakfast...... No way, she already has a slight tendency to narcolepsy, and since she was with Xu Qiansu, it has been difficult to sleep a complete sleep every night.

It should be a psychological effect, Xu Qiansu always suspected that the street was the same as usual, and at this moment brought a bit of a solemn atmosphere.

Sitting on the tram, Marie continued to read.

The snow demon girl was not there, and the dream demon floated out of Xu Qiansu's shadow and chatted with him happily...... Although most of the time Xu Qiansu told jokes for her, every time the dream demon smiled, the red gem on her chest shone with a little bewitching red.

Creselia was lying on the seat, and the Fengwang leather cover was a little soft...... In just one day, she became good friends with Shi Rabi, so Shi Rabi was now hiding in a holster, chatting with Cresalia.

Although it is safest to put Shi Rabi into the Poké Ball, she is a child who likes freedom and does not like to stay in the Poke Ball, so Xu Qiansu has no choice but to let her.

When they arrived at the coffee shop, Rongyue was squatting in front of the store, watering the three plants that had been planted last night.

Seeing Xu Qiansu, she stood up on her knees, held the handle of the kettle with both hands, and said in a brisk tone, with a little teasing, "Good morning, Mr. Xu~"

She was deliberately imitating Lilia...... Because Xu Qiansu said at the beginning, every time Liliai saw him, she would always say 'good morning, Mr. Xu'

"Good morning, miss." Xu Qiansu also smiled.

Ma Li squinted at Xu Qiansu.

Xu Qiansu silently restrained his smile again.

Rongyue covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Why is there an extra pot...... Evening primrose? Ma Li retracted her gaze and snorted coldly, only then did she notice the three flowers at the door and asked with a little curiosity.

"Last night's rainstorm shattered the previous one, which I just bought." The girl pointed at them and smiled softly, "Miss Gardelia, Miss Marry, and me......"

"I see...... Ma Li nodded slightly, and then looked at Xu Qiansu coldly, "You really have this thought, Mr. Xu~ It really makes you feel wronged to let you live in the modern age of monogamy." ”

Xu Qiansu pointed to Cresalia, "The existence of this child proves that humans and Pokémon should have the right to dream." ”

"Woo?" Creselia tilted her little face, why did she suddenly mention her?

"Cresalia, if Xu Qiansu dares to order you to have some ill-intentioned dreams, you can tell me." Marie said to Cresalia.

Creselia was puzzled...... She really doesn't understand.

Jingling.

The glass door of the café was pushed open from the inside, and the wind chimes sounded softly as usual.

Shiori stood behind the door, her small hand on her slender waist, turned sideways, smiled confidently, and asked, "How is it?" Xu Qiansu, have you been fascinated by me? ”

But she had already put on a kimono, the color was a beautiful azure, and the bright yellow belt was tightly wrapped around her waist...... I have to say that Shiori is indeed a great beauty, but her temperament is too big, and she always makes people ignore this.

"Isn't the temple fair at night?" Xu Qiansu asked curiously.

"Cut, it's boring." Shiori snorted dissatisfied, and then spread her hands, "If you go to the street, most of the women are already wearing kimonos...... However, this is a custom in the Johto area, and it is normal for you not to understand it. ”

"Hello...... Is the coffee shop open? Sure enough, as Shiori's words fell, several young and beautiful girls in kimonos came together, and when they saw a few people standing at the door, they couldn't help but ask.

"I'm sorry." Xu Qiansu looked back and nodded slightly, "It's open, please inside." ”

"Oh...... It's nothing~" The faces of several girls with makeup couldn't help but blush, and then said with a smile.

Walk into the coffee shop and start the day again.

Because of the temple fair in the evening, even the number of visitors is much higher than usual...... During her lunch break, Shiori sat behind the bar and counted her morning's turnover, smirking as her eyes almost changed to the shape of an alliance coin.

Although her family background is not bad, she is not bad at all, but this is not the same as the money she earns by herself.

Even Rongyue's mood couldn't help but rise a little...... She thought that with today's salary, maybe she could buy Xu Qiansu another pair of good-looking and well-fitting pants.

Thanks to this, some of the desserts made are not enough to sell.

Xu Qiansu had no choice but to work overtime with Rongyue in the baking room to make desserts during their lunch break.

The sweet air in the baking room is still a little hot because of the baking utensils.

Rongyue was enthusiastic and bold, she thought that Ma Li and Shiori were separated from them by a wall, which was very exciting, so after simply making a plate of puffs, she shook Xu Qiansu's hand and bowed her head slightly......

After all, it's a baking room, and it's normal for the air to be a little hotter.

But it's too hot, Xu Qiansu feels that the temperature brought to him here is like a furnace, very hot, but to make desserts, you can't do without adding water, so it's still moist......

At the same time, the dessert made by Xu Qiansu is a rag roll...... It was also the first dessert he learned to make...... I learned it with Rongyue.

The texture of the rag roll is so soft that you can sink your fingers into it with a light touch, and because you have to roll up layers of pancakes, it has a tactile feel like layers...... It is a dessert with a great taste.

Half past one in the afternoon.

Xu Qiansu came out with the freshly made dessert, put it behind the bar, and set it up.

The air in the coffee shop was not as hot as the roastery, so Xu Qiansu took a few deep breaths before relieving himself.

"It's taken so long to do this?" Shiori tapped her chin with her finger and asked suspiciously.

"It's not an easy task." Xu Qiansu stretched his waist and stretched his somewhat sore body.

"Make desserts...... What's so hard about it? Marley picked up a puff from behind the bar, put it in her pink lips, and when she bit it, the puff's soft coat was torn apart, and white cream poured out with pressure.

Ma Li hurriedly used her little hand to pick up the dripping cream, and the other little hand picked up a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth.

Xu Qiansu couldn't help but tilt his head to look.

"There's a lot of cream this time, right?" Ma Li frowned and said.

"Isn't it delicious?"

"How bad can puffs be? If you can make puffs unpalatable, that's a kind of ability. Marie crumpled the tissue and threw it into the trash with precision.

Xu Qiansu looked at Ma Li's pink lips.

"What's wrong? And cream? Marley touched the corner of her mouth.

"It's nothing ......," Xu Qiansu silently withdrew his gaze.

"Huh?" Ma Li frowned, always suspecting that Xu Qiansu was thinking something bad, but because Ma Li's knowledge of this area was too shallow, she couldn't guess anything.

"Is Lilia still making desserts?" Shiori didn't care about the taste of the puffs, but asked curiously.

"Well, after all, this amount is completely not enough to sell." Xu Qiansu nodded slightly.

In the baking room, Rongyue drank a glass of water, wiped her lips with a handkerchief, and then rolled up her cuffs and prepared to work...... For an hour and a half, she had only made a plate of puffs.

And so on until half-past six.

Shiori glanced at the time, then turned his head to look at Xu Qiansu, and his expression was a little serious, "Close the store." ”

The temple fair is about to begin, and the Interpol surprise attack on Silver is about to begin......

Xu Qiansu and Shiori should also go to the temple fair site to protect the civilians.

Rongyue and Ma Li glanced at each other, and then stepped onto the attic, ready to change clothes.

"Abominable Team Rocket...... The festive day of the temple fair can't make our life easier! Shiori stood up, rubbing her wrists and scolding Team Rocket in dissatisfaction.

"Team Rocket's goal is you...... Didn't your grandfather send anyone to protect you? Xu Qiansu waved lightly to the little bag beast that was playing with Miao Meow, picked her up, took out a rag roll from behind the bar and fed it to her, and asked in his mouth.

"I'm a bait." Shiori spread her hands lightly, "Since you know the goal of Team Rocket, you naturally can't help but use it...... The needle bee is kept in the deepest part of Zhongzhiliao and cannot be released casually...... But I'm different. ”

Xu Qiansu's eyebrows furrowed, a little dissatisfied with the rise of the top level of Interpol, he was patient, and asked, "What kind of bait method?" ”

"The temple fair is halfway through, if there is nothing unusual...... Then I'll go to an inaccessible place on my own...... The festival is held near the Bell Tower, where there is a dense maple forest, and there is no such place. Shiori thought for a moment and said.

"There will be plainclothes detectives to protect you, right?"

"Of course, I'm just a bait, not a death." Shiori rolled her eyes before she said, "But there's no way Team Rocket wants me to die...... I should be of great use to Sakaki. ”

"What? Threatening your grandfather's hostages? ”

"No, because I'm a shrine maiden from Yuanzhu Shrine." Poetry is the color of the road.

"You...... Could it be that you have the ability to talk to King Feng? Xu Qiansu's tone was a little stunned.

"A hundred years ago, the Yuanzhu Witch had this ability...... According to the blood relationship, I should have it, but since King Feng left Yuanzhu City, we can no longer sense his existence...... So I've been a witch for ten years, and I've never communicated with King Feng. Shiori's tone was a little helpless, she sighed lightly, and said:

"So I'm a witch, and it's just an identity, but my mother once told me that our family is the descendant of the Rainbow Brave, although because of the Phoenix King's dissatisfaction with humans, he lost the ability to communicate with him at this moment, but it's not impossible to ......"

Shiori's voice paused slightly, and then he said, "As long as there is a token of King Feng, or to put it bluntly...... The Feather of the Phoenix King, as long as I have it, I will be able to get in touch with the Phoenix King. ”

"The Feather of the Phoenix King? Isn't there one in the Sleepy Forest of Galel? At this time, Rongyue had already changed into a kimono, stepped down from the attic, and when she heard Shiori's words, she couldn't help but tilt her head and said.

Xu Qiansu turned her head to look at it, Rongyue's blonde hair was pulled into sideburns at the moment, revealing a fair and slender neck, and the crimson kimono showed a fairly obvious contrast with her fair skin......

After all, she has been wearing a kimono since she was a child, and even if her body is different, she looks so good at the moment.

"How?" Rongyue turned around lightly, turned her head to look at Xu Qiansu, and asked with a smile.

"Fit." Xu Qiansu nodded slightly.

She couldn't help but laugh.

Shiori's eyes were also a little surprised, but she quickly came back to her senses, shook her head slightly, and then said,

"There is one, but why should I contact King Feng specifically? My mom and dad have been dead for ten years, and even if they want King Feng to help me resurrect, he doesn't have the ability to travel through time and space, so he can't do it...... So contacting Him adds to the problem. ”

Hearing this, Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned, and turned his head to look at Shiori.

"Huh? What's wrong? Shiori looked at him.

Xu Qiansu was silent for a while, and then shook his head slightly, "Team Rocket wants to arrest you, it must be because of your ability...... Team Rocket's power is so huge, it is possible to obtain a phoenix king feather by chance. ”

"That's right." Shiori snapped her fingers and smiled disdainfully, "Grandpa, they think so too...... The guys in Team Rocket, it's crazy to think about Pokémon, as long as it's a rare Pokémon, they want to catch it, regardless of their own strength, according to me, even if I call the Phoenix King, the Phoenix King can take Team Rocket down with one move. ”

While everyone was talking, Marley had stepped on the wooden staircase and descended the attic.

The kimono she chose for herself was still purple and black...... It seems that she likes the color very much.

She didn't pull up her black hair, letting it hang down her waist like that, swaying gently as she walked.

Ma Li turned her head to look at Xu Qiansu and asked him with her eyes, fit?

Xu Qiansu gave her a look.

I didn't know what it meant, but Ma Li covered her mouth and chuckled.

She shook her head slightly helplessly, and then said, "Let's go, I hope to take a good photo and leave a memory worth mentioning." ”

Rongyue brought the flower pot placed outside the door into the store.

Xu Qiansu called Jiadeliya.

Gadelia wanted Xu Qiansu to pick her up.

Xu Qiansu then threw out the Poké Ball, and the steel armored crow jumped out of the blue light.

At the speed of the steel armored crow, it can cross Yuanzhu City in ten minutes.

"Wait a minute, let's go together...... You can't split up at this point. Xu Qiansu said a word, then stepped on the steel armored crow and flew away into the distance.
