"This is Miss Mary's room." The maid led Xu Qiansu up to the second floor, came to the door of a room, bowed slightly, and said with a smile.

Xu Qiansu didn't ask to go to Miss Ma Li's room to see, it was purely brought by the maid lady herself...... It can be seen that the person who knows his identity is not only Maria's mother.

However, even if he is famous in Miss Joy's group, it turns out that so many people know him here...... In this way, Xu Qiansu is also famous in the Aether Foundation?

Xu Qiansu shook his head slightly, swept away the distracting thoughts in his heart, pushed the door in, and came here, it didn't hurt to take a look.

Miss Marly's room is much simpler than the average girl's room.

There's nothing bright about the color palette and there's no dresser or anything like that...... After all, this was Miss Mary's room before she was five years old.

She was just a little girl at the time, and obviously didn't have the consciousness to decorate the room, and even if she came back to live for a while when she grew up, she didn't feel the need to decorate.

Thinking in his heart, Xu Qiansu walked in.

After Xu Qiansu walked into the room, the maid lady straightened up, folded her hands on her lower abdomen, closed her eyes, and looked like a perfect maid who only does what she should do.

The style of the bed is the Tsukiyibu model, and there is also a Poké Ball-shaped doll on it.

Next to the chair in front of the desk, there is also a small step.

Xu Qiansu seemed to be able to see the picture of Miss Ma Li wearing pigtails, walking with short whirring and chubby calves, stepping on the steps, and settling on the chair with all her might.

Xu Qiansu moved his gaze to the desk, where there were only a dozen books lined up...... Unlike what Miss Marry often reads, this is full of books related to Pokémon cultivation and training.

At the age of five, Miss Mary was already preparing to become a trainer.

Xu Qiansu pulled out a chair and sat down on it.

After a little hesitation, I opened the drawer...... Inside, as he expected, there was nothing.

Not even a photo album.

In this boudoir, in a trance, Xu Qiansu felt like Miss Ma Li's previous life, except for Pokémon, there was nothing else.

"Hmmmm......" Lily Root Doll lay on Xu Qiansu's shoulder, yawned as if bored, and then jumped directly onto the desk, while looking around with slightly vigilant eyes, while raising his little feet, after a while, he slowly fell, and began to move, like an aggressor stepping into other people's territory.

Xu Qiansu withdrew his gaze from her body and muttered a little, he was not surprised that Miss Ma Li would leave suddenly.

In fact, when he came back from his wandering, he thought he wouldn't see Marly......

Smack.

While he was thinking, the lily root doll jumped onto the neatly arranged books, and then 'plopped', and overwhelmed with the books.

The lily root doll suddenly looked like a frightened rabbit, ejected away, jumped directly off the desk, trying to find a corner to drill up, and then was hooked by the nine-tails lying next to it with a tail.

The lily root doll glanced at the nine-tails with a panicked expression, and then looked around in a panic.

Nine-tails opened his mouth, wanting to say that there was no need to be afraid, but when he thought of the intelligence of the lily root doll, he was afraid that he would not understand her, so he had to give up.

Xu Qiansu sorted out the book, and then a piece of letter paper fell out of the book.

Xu Qiansu picked it up, thinking that it was Miss Ma Li's graffiti when she was a child, or her thoughts after the book?

But when he pinched the paper, he felt that something was wrong...... It's a very new touch.

He frowned slightly, spreading it out to reveal the words he had written with a pen...... The handwriting is exactly the same as the letter Ma Li wrote to Xu Qiansu a few days ago.

This is what Miss Mary wrote recently?

Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned and lowered his eyes.

"Xu Qiansu, if you can see this letter, then you must have come to me."

Seeing this line of words, Xu Qiansu almost thought that Miss Ma Li was the reincarnation of Wolong...... This is also too clever to plan for a rainy day.

He glanced at the maid standing outside the door, and it seemed that the maid lady had brought him over because she knew that Marley had left a letter for him.

Xu Qiansu retracted his gaze and continued to look down.

"But I don't want to see you now, please go back."

There are only these two lines of small print...... Other than that, there was no writing.

Xu Qiansu read it several times before folding it up and sandwiching it into the book again.

He picked up the book and read it a few times, "On the Ecology and Preferences of Evil Pokémon".

He flipped a few more pages a little rougher...... Nothing was left behind.

Xu Qiansu then picked up other books and flipped through them...... Still nothing.

Like Marly's room, it was empty.

However, in this empty room, Ma Li wrote a text message for Xu Qiansu...... It wasn't put on the table, it wasn't handed over to him by the maid, it was just sandwiched in a book.

Xu Qiansu tidied up the desk and leaned over to pick up the lily root doll.

"Sunshine, sunshine~" The lily root doll screamed a few more times, lying in Xu Qiansu's arms, looking at that look.

Xu Qiansu left Ma Li's room, pulled the door with his backhand, and looked at the maid.

The maid bowed again.

"What else is there to take me to?" Xu Qiansu asked.

The maid lady straightened her waist and glanced at Xu Qiansu's handsome face, then quickly lowered her gaze and shook her head gently, "Next, I will take you wherever you want to go." ”

"Miss Marley at the villa?" Xu Qiansu asked bluntly.

"The young lady only stayed for a short time and then left."

"Went to Sharp Spike?"

"This ...... I don't know. As she spoke, the maid bowed again, as if apologizing.

Xu Qiansu smiled at her, "Thank you." ”

The maid lady raised her eyes to look at Xu Qiansu again, then withdrew her gaze, shook her head slowly, and said no more.

……

When Xu Qiansu came to the hall, he saw that Xiao Yu was holding Mewtwo's arm, begging it to continue to fight against her.

Mewtwo hugged his arms, looking annoyed, if it weren't for Shanaiduo on the side, it would have wanted to use its superpowers to directly tie up Xiaoyou and throw it aside.

Seeing Xu Qiansu, Mewtwo couldn't help but signal with his eyes, let him take this annoying human being away.

Xu Qiansu walked over, patted Creselia's neck gently, and asked her with a smile if she wanted to accompany Xiaoyou to play a few games.

Creselia blinked, then nodded her little head happily, and it didn't hurt to move her muscles.

Mewtwo was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Xu Qiansu...... It also thought that Xu Qiansu would definitely persuade it to fight against Xiaoyou.

"Xiao Xu." At this moment, Maria's mother, who had already finished taking a bath, held on to the handrail and walked down slowly.

She glanced at Xu Qiansu in the hall for a few moments, and then asked with a smile, "Do you know how to play Go?" ”

Xu Qiansu shook his head.

"I won't go to school...... Follow me. "Mother Maria's words are very similar to Gadelia.

Xu Qiansu had to go, Cresalia, and Xiaoyou ran to the battlefield with great interest under the leadership of the maid lady.

Liliai thought about it, and in the past day, it was time for her to take a bath, so she didn't follow Xu Qiansu.

In this way, only Mewtwo and a group of maid ladies standing on either side of the hall were left...... Mewtwo glanced around, and Xu Qiansu actually threw it down at will again, not worrying about it escaping at all......

Mewtwo took a deep breath, feeling a little inexplicably complicated in his heart, and sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

Xu Qiansu stepped up the stairs and followed behind Maria's mother.

Maria's mother changed into a white knitted sweater and a gray long skirt, and walking behind her, Xu Qiansu could smell a fresh fragrance.

Maria's mother took Xu Qiansu to a study-like room with a chessboard in the center...... It seems that Maria's mother really came to invite Xu Qiansu to play chess.

When Maria's mother sat down, her posture was dignified and elegant, and she had the same nobility as Miss Mary.

Her jade-like fingers pinched a sunspot, rubbed it lightly on her fingertips, and said with a smile: "Do you know the rules?" ”

Xu Qiansu shook his head.

So Maria's mother spent ten minutes explaining the rules to him in detail, including knowledge that is difficult for novices to understand, such as the 'Foolish Triangle' and the 'Four Tribulations'...... I don't care if Xu Qiansu can absorb it or not.

After introducing the rules, she coughed lightly, took a cup of tea handed by the maid and moistened her throat before waving them down.

In this way, there is only a few shallow elements left in the room, Maria's mother and a group of curious Pokémon.

The lily doll pinched a sunspot, swallowed saliva, and then stuffed it into her mouth.

Xu Qiansu pinched the back of her neck, took Kuroko from her little hand, and handed it to Shanaiduo to take care of.

Maria's mother glanced at the lily root doll with a bit of novelty, thinking that Xu Qiansu's Pokémon, one counts as one, and it doesn't seem to be normal.

She shook her head slightly, swept away the distractions in her heart, held a fan in her hand, and gently fanned herself, and said in her mouth: "I am an elder, so I will do it first...... Well, I'll pick Kuroko. ”

With that, she gracefully picked up a chess piece and pressed it neatly on the board.

By the way, in the rules of Go, it is important to move first and then move...... The first mover advantage is large.

In the face of Xu Qiansu, a complete newcomer, Maria's mother actually chose to take the lead.

Xu Qiansu didn't have anything to say, pinched up the white zi, and fell into chess.

Maria's mother's apricot eyes narrowed slightly, this position ...... It's not that good, after all, Xu Qiansu is just a novice.

So she pointed to a spot, "Down here, better...... The first time you play chess, I teach you and you play. ”

"No regrets." Xu Qiansu shook his head.

Looking at Maria's mother, it always reminded him of Marie, and in a trance, it seemed as if he was playing chess with Marie...... To distract himself, he focused on the chessboard.

Maria's mother laughed, didn't force it, and continued.

In this way, ten minutes have passed, Xu Qiansu has no way to retreat, he pinched the chess pieces, frowned and thought.

Maria's mother admonished, "You don't have to force a game to lose...... It's wise to throw in the towel. ”

Xu Qiansu nodded slightly...... In the first game, he lost.

The corners of Maria's mother's mouth hooked slightly, "Do you want to play the second set, it's only 20 o'clock now...... You don't have the habit of going to bed early, right? ”

Xu Qiansu nodded, and ...... He lost ten sets in a row.

At half past eleven in the evening, the lily root doll and the little pouch beast fell asleep on Xu Qiansu's lap, and the rest of the Pokémon kept nodding their little heads, obviously sleepy.

At this moment, Xu Qiansu raised his eyes and looked at Maria's mother, "It's late at night, Sister Maria should also rest, right?" I won't bother. ”

Maria's mother raised her eyes from the chessboard, looked at Xu Qiansu, her light green beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and then nodded slightly, "Tomorrow, let's go back to Jianding Town together." ”

"Thank you." Xu Qiansu bowed briefly, put away the Pokémon with the Poké Ball, and let them sleep in the Poké Ball before leaving the study.

After Xu Qiansu left, Maria's mother cast her eyes on the chessboard...... If she continued, she would have thrown in the towel.

After Xu Qiansu lost ten games in a row, in this eleventh set, Maria's mother couldn't beat him.

She breathed a sigh of relief, shook the fan lightly, and said quietly: "Amazing person, terrible talent, obviously it is the first time to play chess...... No wonder Marley loses ......"

When Xu Qiansu walked to the hall, he didn't see Mewtwo.

A maid lady told him that both Mewtwo and Cresalia, where the battle with Yuu ended, had been picked up by Lilia.

He went to Lilia's room.

Sure enough, Mewtwo and Creselia were already asleep, and Lilia was wearing a simple nightdress, and her snow-white slender shoulders and a hint of collarbone could be seen.

She sat at her desk, with headphones, on a video call.

Noticing Xu Qiansu, she waved her hand lightly at the phone, "Mom, I'm going to sleep...... Good bye. ”

"Miss Lusa Minay called?" Xu Qiansu was a little surprised that Lusa Minay was able to give Lilia a video in her busy schedule.

Liliai smiled sweetly at Xu Qiansu and reminded, "Because it's June~"

Lutha Minay once promised Xu Qiansu to contact Lilia four times a week and eat with her at least twice a month...... Lilia is now following Xu Qiansu, and she can't eat, so she can only make video calls.

Xu Qiansu rubbed her eyebrows, thinking that it would be good if Lusa Minay had Maria's mother who cared about her daughter......

"Did you win?" Lilia wasn't as much as Xu Qiansu thought, and she was already very satisfied that Luza Minay could find time to contact her.

After all, before that, Lusa Minay didn't even know Lilia's age...... It's just to the extent of indifference.

"Lost ten sets." Xu Qiansu shook his head slightly, put the sleeping pouch beast and lily root doll on the bed, and replied.

"It's the first time I've played Go, but I've been able to play ten games with Miss Maria...... It's amazing! Lilia looked surprised.

"Playing Go is secondary, but she kept telling me to give up." Xu Qian had always come to Liliai's side, and there was a good girlish fragrance from the tip of his nose.

"Give up...... What to give up? Lilia tilted her little face.

"Give up going to Nail Town to find Miss Marry." Xu Qiansu gently pressed Liliai's snow-white slender shoulder.

Lily Aiqiao's face flushed, she pressed Xu Qiansu's hand with both hands, and hurriedly asked, "Does she not like you?" ”

"I can't see it, but the reason why she hinted like this is that she only knows her daughter, and knows that Miss Mary will not come to see me, so she advises me not to bother too much."

Xu Qiansu's hand gently stroked upward, sliding over Liliai's white and delicate swan neck.

"So, shall we go then?" Lilia blushed and looked at Xu Qiansu, her soft and moist pink lips opened slightly, and she stammered and asked.

"Go." Xu Qiansu leaned over and bit Liliai's lip and savored it.

Liliai's body stiffened, and after a while, she slowly relaxed, holding Xu Qiansu's neck with both hands.

The next day, the second day of June.

The weather was clear, cloudless, and the sun was falling.

Maria's mother didn't want to walk, let alone fly around on a steel crow, so she drove a luxury car and chose to take everyone over.

Xiao You touched the seat under him with some surprise, feeling its soft touch...... Riding in this kind of luxury car, it is also the first time for her to experience it.

Maria's mother wore sunglasses and drove away, naturally without worrying about the shouting team along the way.

Therefore, there was no obstacle all the way, but at noon, we arrived at the town of Spikes.

Xu Qiansu raised his eyes and saw that Jianding Town was in decline, but from the outside, the buildings were not low, and they seemed to be crowded together.

drove to the entrance of the town, but saw a group of people dressed in punk, hairstyles that were not mainstream, and fierce faces gathered together, like bad teenagers from bad high schools, moving some sofas at the entrance of the town, and oil drums were piled up in a mess, blocking the road.

They gathered in the middle of this pile of miscellaneous things, telling jokes and roasting meat.

The corners of Xiaoyou's eyes twitched, obviously thinking of unpleasant memories.

Seeing the approaching vehicle, they were not at all afraid of what a car of this price represented, and strode forward with their equally fierce Pokémon, coughed lightly, and then shouted with full anger: "If you are here to challenge the evil system gym, then please return to ......."

The car window slowly fell, and Maria's mother, wearing sunglasses, poked her head out of it, looked at them expressionlessly, and said lightly: "When did this group of ninth-rate guys come to Sharp Nail Town?" ”

Xu Qiansu glanced sideways at Maria's mother, and it seemed that Maria's mother didn't know about the existence of the screaming team...... Presumably, since Miss Marley went on a trip, Maria's mother has never returned to Nail Town, and the Screaming Team only started to act in March this year, which is very short.

The screaming team was stunned, and then shook directly, "Ma, Ma, Lady Maria. ”

They stammered, their expressions frightened and stunned, and their bodies trembled slightly, obviously terrified.

Maria's eyes narrowed slightly, she stretched out an index finger to lift her sunglasses, and took a closer look at the group of people in front of her, before her eyebrows frowned slightly and recognized their identities.

It's just the ordinary people who live in Nail Town...... She thought about it and figured it out.

Want to clean up the competitors for Marry......

"Childish." She snorted, stepped on the gas pedal, and drove straight towards Nail Town.

The screaming team shook again, and hurriedly asked the Pokémon to clean up the sofa and other debris on the road, so that Maria's mother could go all the way unimpeded.

Xiao You smiled happily with a little dement.

When you enter the town of Spikes, the light dimms instantly, and the buildings and large and dense billboards block the light, but the neon signs that can be seen everywhere are extremely bright and colorful, and the architectural planning is also a bit disorganized, like an office building, but it is a battlefield with barbed wire, which looks out of place.

Under this architectural style, the streets are deserted and uninhabited.

Most of the residents of Sharp Nails have moved out of the city...... It's not that Nie Zi is harsh, it's just that there are no Galal particles here that can make Pokémon extremely giant.

As the most attractive national sport in Garrell, Pokémon Battle is inseparable from the Extremely Giant ...... Spike Town is obviously the location of the Gym, but it can't be extremely huge, so the population gradually drifts out, and even among all the Gym locations in Galar, the sense of existence is extremely low.

The vast majority of people in Galel have no impression of this place, and when it comes to the Champions Cup, they will subconsciously ignore it.

It is because of this that Ma Li wants to participate in the Champions Cup as the representative of Nail Town, win the championship, and thus make a name for Nail Town.

And now the only people who are willing to stay in the town are the local residents who were born and raised here...... And most of them are also dressed up as a shouting team at the moment, wanting to contribute to Ma Li's ideals.

With such a sense of contrast, Xu Qiansu has walked through so many cities, but this one gives him a hint of 'cyberpunk' bizarreness.

Maria's mother was driving, but her eyebrows were furrowed, apparently not like this before she left Spiketown.

She breathed a sigh of relief, "When I see Nie Zi, let him explain what is going on." ”

Ma Li had been traveling and knew very little about this matter, which was understandable, but Nie Zi had been staying in Nail Town, and it was impossible for him to be ignorant of the Screaming Team.

Xu Qiansu propped up his side face and was noncommittal...... The screaming team is fine, he just wants to see Miss Marley.

——————

In the past few days, I have been traveling in Xi'an, and I am a little busy, and the number of updates is less.

Sorry, sorry.
