Early the next morning, Naoki was standing on the edge of the farmland watching the dragon water the crops when Evan suddenly ran in from outside on a motorcycle lizard.

Far away, he excitedly shouted at Naoki: "Naoki, the matter you explained to me last time has come to an end!" ”

Hearing this, Naoki was slightly stunned, thinking that he could have something to tell Evan.

But then, he remembered that the last time he was on the Spring Race, he had asked Evan to help him find the Butler Pokémon.

Butler Pokémon ......

Naoki's heart moved, and he hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly!" ”

Evan jumped down from the motorcycle lizard and said in detail:

"Here's the thing, I received a letter the other day, and the man asked me to deliver it to a guy in the glass bottle market next door."

"The man lives in a very large manor, and when I was delivering the letter, I heard that the owner of the manor was looking for a suitable person to take care of the two caretakers!"

"Didn't I think you needed a housekeeper Pokémon! So I went to ask about it, and a very weak old man received me, and he asked me some information about you, and then asked me to have time to take you over to have a look. ”

Stewardship? Or two?

Naoki looked surprised: "Two? ”

Ai Wen nodded: "That's right, the two of them have a lot of experience as housekeepers!" ”

Naoki was a little puzzled: "How could that person give away such a Pokémon?" ”

Ai Wen shook his head: "I don't know about this, he only has one request, that is, to be able to take good care of the two caretakers, you see when you have time, let's go over together." ”

"I have time now." With that, Naoki turned around and walked towards the house, ready to change his clothes: "Which city is it from?" ”

Aven: "Bottle City, it's very close to us, and you can get there in two hours on a motorcycle lizard. ”

"Okay." Naoki nodded.

He turned back to the house and changed his clothes, then took the change and his backpack, and told him a few words to take care of the ranch, he would not be back until the afternoon, and there was food in the fridge, and remember to bring it to everyone at noon.

So Leton nodded, and obediently agreed, but he was not jealous.

"Well, I'll go back and make you something to eat."

Naoki touched its head, and then, like Aven, mounted the motorcycle lizard.

The two left the ranch and headed for their target city.

On the way, Naoki asked curiously, "Aren't you going to work today?" ”

Ai Wen looked confused: "Today is the weekend!" The post office is on holiday for two days, so you don't have to go to work! ”

Naoki: "......"

Good fellow, he's forgotten about it.

Evan laughed, "You can't live alone until you forget the date, do you?" ”

"Nope." Naoki said truthfully: "I just didn't expect you to take two days off at once, and you don't have to work overtime, it's really enviable." ”

Evan was speechless: "Is the work in the ranch so tiring?" ”

"Not really." Naoki said.

With so many Pokémon helping, his usual work can be said to be very easy, he will be busy when he plows the land and grows crops, and he has to prepare a lot of food every day.

Although tired, it is also a blessing for him to see so many Pokémon living in the ranch.

He just thinks that the world is really easy, no need to work overtime, two days off a week, in his last life, except for specific work, this is something that a social animal can't even think of.

But he had no way to tell Evan about the specific reason, so he could only change the subject: "I haven't been to Glass Bottle City yet!" ”

Ai Wen didn't think much about it, and said with a smile when he heard this: "Glass Bottle City is much bigger than our Zhenqin Town!" It is a famous water capital city, and it is also known as the water town Zeguo. ”

Naoki recalls in his mind a map of the Padia region.

The town of Ranqin is located in the northwest of the map, while the city of Glass is located in the center of the Padia region, next to the Crater of Padea, separated from the town by a vast desert area.

Thinking of this, Naoki asked, "Do you want to go to bake the desert first?" ”

Ai Wen shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous in the desert, the Pokémon there are very aggressive, the climate is still very hot, today we take the big road, this road is officially built by the Alliance, there are no dangerous Pokémon on the road, you can walk with confidence." ”

Naoki nodded and didn't say anything more.

The two of them made their way along the main road.

Because of Aiwen's words, Naoki had the heart to observe the Pokémon on the side of the road, and sure enough, he found that they were the same as what Evan said, they were all small Pokémon with a gentle personality and no aggression.

Along the way, you can occasionally spot a few passing trucks, backpackers camping in the fields, or trainers engaged in Pokémon battles.

If you run at full speed, the speed of the motorcycle lizard can be said to be no less than that of a real motorcycle, and it is said that the fastest speed can reach 120 kilometers per hour.

As the clock ticked by, the sun rose high and the temperature in the air became hot, and at this time, a bustling big city finally appeared ahead.

"It's here!" Evan said happily.

Naoki looked up and saw that the entire Glass Bottle City was located on a cliff, and because of the topography, the whole city was divided into three layers.

Through the Glass Bottle City, he saw a continuous stream of steep mountain cliffs, the top of which was impossible to see with the naked eye, obscured by white clouds.

"That should be the Pit of Pardea, right?" Naoki thought to himself.

I have to say that just by looking at it from the outside, you can feel the magnificence and majesty of the Pit of Pardea, and you don't know what it looks like inside.

Naoki wants to go in and have a visit, but I'm afraid he won't be allowed to do so.

When the two enter Glass Bottle City, Naoki dismounts from the Motorcycle Lizard, which transforms into an upright form and walks with him on the streets.

The streets are paved with a layer of blue and white tiles, and from a distance you can see a beautiful fountain park, and a huge curtain of water flows down from the top to connect the whole city.

People in hot bikinis and shorts stroll around the neighborhood, and there is a lively atmosphere everywhere.

Ai Wen looked at this scene and smiled: "Look, it's very energetic, right?" ”

"yes!"

Naoki nodded, and the bottle market gave him the feeling of coming to Venice, the capital of water, and he could see things related to water everywhere.

They didn't have much time to admire, though, and took the elevator to the third floor, where Evan turned a corner and walked through the bustling downtown to a luxurious manor.

Two guards stood in front of the manor, and they stepped forward, and Evan made it clear to them what he was here for.

Hearing this, the gaze of the guard on the left stayed on Naoki for a moment, then moved out of the way, opened the door, and said respectfully:

"Master has been waiting for you for a long time, please come in!"

Master...... This title sounds so rare, Naoki couldn't help but scold in his heart.

He followed Aven into the manor, looking at the vast land in front of him, Naoki's first reaction was that this place was too big, right?

Ai Wen whispered, "I was shocked when I first came! But don't worry, the owner here is very kind, and there is no shelf of the rich people on TV at all. ”

Naoki nodded and moved on, but soon, they found themselves lost in the vast manor.

Aven: "...... Strange, could it be that I am mistaken? Why isn't this the road? ”

Looking at the huge garden maze around him, Naoki finally notices that something is wrong.

He asked, "Did you last come here and no one led the way?" ”

Along the way, none of them saw it.

Aven: "Yes! There were a lot of people in the manor last time! The gardener who prunes the garden, the housekeeper in a black tuxedo, the maid who waters, ......"

As he spoke, he suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Huh? How can there be no one today. ”

Naoki thought of the plot in the movie and asked, "Could this be a ghost manor?" Just like in the movie, everyone is turned into ghosts, specially tricking people in and killing them. ”

It just so happened that a gloomy wind was blowing, as if something was staring at them in the dark.

Evan was scared: "Don't scare me! ”

The two motorcycle lizards following them were also frightened, and trembled and said, "Quack......"

Naoki: "...... I'm talking about it. ”

Evan breathed a sigh of relief.

Naoki added, "But there are indeed ghosts in this world. ”

Evan and the two motorcycle lizards widened their eyes as they weaved through the garden maze, scared and wondering when they heard this.

"You've seen it?" Evan asked.

Naoki nodded, "I've seen it before when I was traveling in the Galel region. ”

He then described how he had met a ghost girl and helped her deliver the letter to an old friend, only to find out that her old friend was already in his sixties and seventies.

The old man said that the little girl was his childhood sweetheart when he was a child, and he never met again when he grew up.

Naoki: "This means that the girl died when she was a child and became a ghost wandering the streets. ”

After hearing this story, Evan was so frightened that he hugged his motorcycle lizard.

Naoki laughed, "Is it really that scary?" ”

Evan and his motorcycle lizard nodded at the same time.

Naoki wanted to say something more, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw that his motorcycle lizard was also scared.

"Quack......

"Don't be afraid!"

Naoki patted the motorcycle lizard on the shoulder, then took its paws and comforted it in this way.

Seeing that the motorcycle lizard was not so scared, he said as he continued to move forward:

"Actually, that girl's ghost has no malicious intent, someone once said that the ghosts you are afraid of are people who others have been thinking about for a long time, but they will never see again."

"And after I helped her deliver the letter, she also left me a gift, a spiritual cloth containing very amazing power."

"Look, if you think about it, you're not so scared, are you?" Naoki stalls, although these are only what he has encountered in the game.

Evan felt a little better, he thought about it carefully, and nodded, "Indeed." ”

He wanted to say something more, and just then, the two of them finally passed through the maze of gardens, and saw a very beautiful fountain on a lawn in front of them.

Next to the fountain, there is a circle of Pokémon.

There are new leaf meows, stupid fire crocodiles, moisturizing ducks, cloth dials, a pair of rats, paparazzi bags......

Suddenly seeing these rare Pokémon, Naoki couldn't help but be surprised.

But soon, he noticed the little guy surrounded by this group of Pokémon.

Evan saw it too, and it was a meow.

An injured meow, to be exact.

"It's hurt!" Evan exclaimed.

The group of Pokémon also noticed them and turned their heads one after another.

They don't seem to be scared of strangers.

Seeing this, Naoki stepped forward and checked the condition of the meow, and seeing that it was weak, he took out a bottle of juice and milk from his backpack to restore his strength.

This was originally prepared by him for the motorcycle lizard, and he was afraid that the motorcycle lizard would be thirsty if the road was too far, so he brought a few bottles.

Didn't expect it to come in handy here.

The meow meow drank the entire bottle of juice and milk in one go, and the wounds on its body instantly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The group of Pokémon around them were surprised when they saw this, and they all cast curious glances at the human.

Meow Meow stood up: "Meow~"

Seeing its energetic appearance, Naoki smiled and said, "Okay, remember to be careful next time." ”

"Meow~"

A group of Pokémon jumped away, ran into the garden maze, and began to play a game of hide and seek.

Looking at this scene, Ai Wen once again felt the pride of the lord of this manor:

"Isn't the purpose of this garden maze to play hide-and-seek for these Pokémon?

Naoki: "So far, that's right. ”

He thought to himself if he should go back and build a small maze in the ranch to play hide and seek.

Evan muttered, "It's so rich! ”

Naoki smiled and looked up at the building in front of him, "Let's go!" That's the destination. ”

Bypassing this garden fountain, they finally saw a third person besides them.

It was a maid with an apron and a broom in hand.

Naoki stepped forward and politely introduced his identity and the purpose of coming here to the other party.

After listening, the maid smiled and nodded, and she turned around with a broom: "Please come with me!" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Naoki always felt that something was not quite right.

He looked at Aven, who looked like he hadn't noticed anything.

The two followed the maid into the big villa.

Pushing open the door, Naoki saw an old man in a blue kimono with pale hair, a wrinkled face, and a slightly tired expression on the sofa in the lobby of the villa.

On the left and right sides of the old man, there are two Pokémon that look similar.

They have two horns on their heads, except that one horn is upwards and the other is downward.

The upward one has a half-open and half-closed face, and the downward one has a gentle expression and the corners of the mouth are raised, revealing a smile that can bring good impressions.

Stewardship......

Naoki's mind had the message of the two Pokémon, but one was a male and the other was a female.

They stood respectfully beside the old man, looking at the few people who pushed the door in.

"Is that them?" Naoki thought to himself.

They were led by the maid to the old man.

At this time, the old man spoke, "You are finally here, sit down first." ”

The two nodded, and then sat down on the sofa opposite the old man.

"Hello." Naoki greeted politely: "I'm Naoki, and I currently run a ranch in Tsuqin Town, next to me is my partner and assistant, Motorcycle Lizard. ”

The old man bowed slightly, and whispered softly: "Rancher, ......"

After a while, he continued: "Just call me Sato, what do you think?" Can he? ”

As he spoke, the old man turned his head and inquired about the two caretakers beside him.

"Love." The male waiter on the left nodded calmly.

The female housekeeper on the right looked at Naoki and smiled gently at him: "Love~"

Seeing their reactions, the old man laughed: "That's good, I think he is also a good choice, able to take care of those two children." ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Naoki didn't react a little: "Excuse me, Mr. Sato, what do you mean by this?" ”

Seeing his expression, the old man guessed what was in his heart—I was afraid that he thought it was these two caretakers.

He laughed, shook his head and said, "They have been with me for more than 20 years, and I am reluctant to leave them in the care of others. ”

"Let's just say it, Naoki, just when you came, I saw what you did, and you passed a small test I set for you."

Naoki was slightly stunned, and the injured meow next to the fountain immediately came to mind.

The old man smiled and said, "Being able to save a Pokémon I never knew shows that you are a very caring person." ”

"And that ghost story you told in the garden is wonderful...... The ghosts you're afraid of are people that others have been thinking about but never seen again, yes! ”

At this, the old man seemed to think of something, but quickly recovered and continued:

"Of course, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that when the motorcycle lizard was scared, you comforted it in time and held its hand, which shows that you are very patient with Pokémon."

Hearing this, Naoki couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Seeing his expression, the old man couldn't help but smile: "Please forgive me, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you, I heard the servant say that you have strayed into that garden labyrinth." ”

"Because a lot of Pokémon usually play there, for their safety, I have people install a lot of surveillance probes there."

Naoki shook his head: "It's okay. ”

"In that case, please come with me!" The old man stood up and led the way ahead.

Naoki and Evan looked at each other, then lifted their heels and finally came to a very warm and cozy baby room.

There, Naoki sees two housekeepers playing with toys.

They are small in size and appear to have just been born.

The old man introduced: "This is their child, just two weeks old, it is a brother and sister, do you want to come and get to know them?" ”

Naoki nodded, then stepped forward and crouched in front of the two caretakers.

The brother and sister felt the strangeness and turned their heads to look at the stranger.

The sister of the caregiver opened her eyes wide, and then showed an innocent smile: "Oh~ah! ”

Although the elder brother on the side was still young, his expression looked like that of a little adult, and when he saw his sister being so enthusiastic about strangers, his face showed a disapproving expression.

Naoki pulls out two bottles of juice milk and two lucky puddings from his backpack.

He didn't feed it right away, but turned around and asked, "Mr. Sato, can they have some snacks?" ”

The old man and the two adult stewards stood aside and watched the movements of him and the two little stewards, and nodded, "Of course you can." ”

With permission, Naoki fed them juice milk and lucky pudding.

He plugged in the straw, and when his sister smelled the smell, she reached out and hugged the bottle, and sucked up the milk inside.

"Wow~!" It took a big sip before stopping.

Naoki unpacks the Lucky Pudding again and feeds it to it.

The sister took it happily, and when it ate the whole pudding, the look in her eyes became different.

"Yikes! Yikes! ”

The sister waved her hands and wanted to hug her.

Naoki reached out and picked it up, feeling the fluffy soft touch in his hand, and his movements couldn't help but be very light.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Naoki looked at the caretaker brother on the side.

The elder brother's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he still looked at his sister with disapproving eyes.

Naoki pushed the bottle in front of it with his other hand, "Try it?" ”

Looking at the bottle close at hand, the elder brother was stunned, and he smelled the smell of milk coming from it.

"Goo-dong!"

Swallowing his saliva quietly, the elder brother finally couldn't help but step forward and take a sip.

Seeing this scene, Naoki laughed happily.

It's cute.

However, hearing his laughter, the elder brother immediately returned to his appearance as a little adult just now, turned his head away with a red face and embarrassment, and pretended that nothing had happened.

Naoki didn't say much, just played with his sister for a while.

The two adult stewards behind him looked at this scene tenderly and began to communicate in a whisper.

"Love."

"Love~"

Hearing their exchanges, a gentle smile appeared on the old man's face: "It seems that the brother and sister like him very much." ”

The old man turned his head to look at the two caretakers again, and asked again, "Are you sure?" That's him? ”

The two caretakers nodded earnestly.

"Love."

————

Ten minutes later, my sister was tired of playing, so she and her brother began to sleep together.

They are still small and need a lot of time to rest every day.

The group returned to the living room downstairs.

The old man said, "If I can, I want to give them to you when they are able to do things, first, we will teach them to do housework during this time, and second, I hope that the caretaker can watch the two children grow up, and they can rest assured." ”

"Absolutely, no problem." Naoki nodded without hesitation and agreed.

He also loves the two little ones, but it's important for them to keep them growing up with their parents.

Seeing that he agreed, the old man was happy in his heart: "Then please tell me your address, and when they grow up, I will send them to your ranch for two months at most." ”

Pokémon grow very fast, like the caretaker, you can grow from a small size to a normal size within three months.

"Okay." Naoki had no opinion, he told the other party the detailed address of the ranch, and at the end, he asked again, "Do I need to pay a deposit or something?" ”

"You don't need that." The old man shook his head lightly: "We only have one request, and that is to take care of the two little caretakers." ”
