Today's plans were disrupted by the sudden arrival of the Nine-Tails, and Naoki glanced at the time and felt that he should not be too late to participate in the fishing tournament.

So he first used his video phone to inform Mayor Thomas of the news that he couldn't attend, and then he began to deal with the matter of the Nine-Tails.

The Nine-Tails gently lifted its four heels and came in, and the nine big golden fluffy tails behind it swayed gently, looking dreamlike and not very real.

Behind it, Pokémon such as the Motorcycle Lizard, the Old Leton, the Fast Dragon, and the Frost Milk Fairy also surrounded it, looking at this mysterious Pokémon curiously.

"Do I need to do anything?" Nine-Tails asked.

According to its understanding, it is necessary to pay for such human-run restaurants, taverns, cafes, etc.

Money......

It doesn't seem to be.

This made the Nine-Tails feel a little embarrassed, and it began to think about how it was going to get the money.

Naoki heard the meaning of the nine-tails.

According to his original plan, the tavern was free of charge.

Of course, if Pokémon pays for it, whether it's a tree fruit, an ordinary stone, or a flower, he will gladly accept it.

Judging from the illusion that this Nine-Tails had just shown, its strength must be very strong.

Since it can telepathize, then he doesn't need to eat translated melon seeds.

Naoki thought for a moment and said thoughtfully, "No, you just need to wait for a while." ”

Nine-Tails breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and nodded lightly: "Thank you." ”

Hearing this, Naoki didn't say much, but turned around and began to count the ingredients in the refrigerator.

The process of making that dessert is a bit complicated, and you need to use ingredients such as cream, cakes, and tree fruits.

Luckily, he hadn't made any cakes during this time, and the ingredients in the fridge were sufficient.

Placing the things he needed on the kitchen table, Naoki glanced back and saw Nine-Tails crouching on the ground waiting.

Looking at this scene, Naoki couldn't help but think in his heart, "It's also very in line with the business style of the tavern." ”

He began to imagine the tavern when it was open.

The kitchen table has been turned into a bar, the wooden floor at the entrance is covered with a red carpet, the fireplace is blazing, and the room is warm and a few wild Pokémon are drinking and playing in the tavern.

And he turned into a bartender in a suit vest and white shirt, wiping the glass while watching the lively scene in front of him.

It's a typical medieval tavern style, but if it's changed to a Pokémon version, it doesn't feel out of place.

Realizing that he still had something to do, Naoki gathered his mind and began to make the dish in earnest.

As the minutes ticked by, the Nine-Tails sat patiently and waited.

Its gaze looked at the humans working there, and the image of the baby bear and Dream had found it not long ago.

They call themselves the Heroic Expeditions, say they are traveling around the world, and ask why they are sad.

After learning the reason, the two Pokémon showed sad expressions, but they were also helpless about this matter, so they could only turn around and leave sadly.

Nine-Tails watched their figures disappear, and it was going to fall asleep, but it didn't expect that a few days later, the two Pokémon suddenly turned back.

They excitedly said that far away, on the other side of the sea, there was a magical Pokémon tavern.

It is home to the best human in the world, and he has the magical ability to help Pokémon fulfill all kinds of wishes.

Nine-Tails still remembers the look on the baby bear's face when he said this.

He was very excited and excited, and said, "Naoki can help you!" Go find him! ”

And so, here it comes.

In order to see the face of his former friend again and hear her voice, the Nine-Tails, who would not have crossed the sea, crossed the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, arrived at the other side of the sea, and arrived at this magical tavern.

Naoki called the cream fairy and asked it to make a fresh caramel cream, which was then spread evenly on top of the cake base.

As he moved, a sweet cream cake gradually took shape.

When I first made it, the kitchen utensils at home were not complete, so the cakes made were very simple.

Nowadays, both the ingredients and the kitchenware are readily available, which also makes the appearance of the cake to a higher level.

In the final step, cut the fruit into cubes and decorate the cake.

"That's it!"

Naoki looked down, and the information about the new cream cake immediately appeared in his mind.

[Cream Fruit Cake (Caramel Flavor) (B): A fruit cake made with the hand-beaten cream of the Frost Milk Fairy, and its delicious cream and beautiful appearance make it even more attractive.

Cooking effect: Sweet dream lv2, after giving Pokémon to eat, it can make Pokémon temporarily forget about troubles and sorrows, have a sweet dream, see the people and things you want to see in the dream, and be blessed by the god of dreams.

Evaluation: A dessert that brings happiness to humans and Pokémon. ]

"Sure enough, the use of higher-quality ingredients has improved the level of the cuisine." Naoki thought to himself.

He remembered the last time this thing was rated D-?

In addition, the cooking effect has been increased from lv1 to lv2, and the description has the words "blessed by the god of dreams".

Dream God ...... Naoki's mind conjured up a beautiful figure that seemed to be dressed in a pink veil and looked like a fairy.

It was Cresalia, the god of dreams, the embodiment of the crescent, and the counterpoint of Darkrai.

There is a legend in the city that if you sleep with a Creselia feather, you will be protected from nightmares and have a sweet dream.

Just looking at the description, Naoki doesn't know what the effect of Lv2's Sweet Dream is more than Lv1.

After a short thought, he took the cake and cut it into small pieces and placed it in front of the Nine-Tails.

Smelling the fragrance coming from the top of the cake, Nine-Tails was slightly stunned, and there was a look of doubt in his bright red eyes.

"Try it?" Naoki Road.

Nine-Tails has no appetite and doesn't want to eat: "I just want to see her." ”

Naoki: "After eating this, you can meet her." "Although in the form of a dream.

Hearing this, the Nine-Tails did not speak again.

It lowered its head slightly in confusion, opened its mouth and ate the cake in front of it perfunctorily with the idea of giving it a try.

"Let's get some sleep!" Naoki is a pity that this cake does not have the effect of making people sleep, and it will have to wait for the Pokémon to fall asleep naturally before it can work.

Nine-Tails was stunned for a moment.

It suddenly thought of the same question the human had asked it earlier.

"Just want to see her? Either way? ”

At this moment, the Nine-Tails suddenly realized what that way was.

Sure enough, what the other party said next also confirmed its conjecture.

"This cake can make you have a dream and meet the person you want to see in your dream."

Nine-Tails was silent.

Dreaming? That's a good idea.

"Just sleep here, rest assured, it's safe here." Naoki Road.

"Thank you."

The Nine-Tails thanked him, then turned and went outside, its eyes cast into the distance, and then ran under a tree in the flames, where he leaned down, closed his eyes and began to sleep.

Nine-Tails thought that he would not be able to sleep, but listening to the muttering sound of those Pokémon not far away, feeling the rhythm of the wind, unconsciously, a heavy sleepiness surged.

When it opened its eyes again, it was shocked to find that it had arrived at the ancient mansion of its memory, which was more than 1,500 years ago.

Nine-Tails looked around and saw that everything here was so familiar, and that the scene had barely changed from what it had remembered.

Its long-dormant heart suddenly moved, like a drop of clear water falling onto the dusty floor.

There was a faint hint of anticipation in the heart of the Nine-Tails.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and a girl in a kimono with wooden sandals walked up to it with a smile.

"So you're here!" The girl said gently, "Doesn't the sun shine?" Come here and take a break! ”

Then Ryoko picked it up, walked to a large tree in the courtyard, sat down in the shade and began to read the book.

The Nine-Tails didn't care about its inexplicable degeneration into the Six-Tails, it curled up in the girl's arms, and a long-ago name came to mind.

Ryoko......

How long has it been since I've heard that name? Nine-Tails can't remember anymore.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining all over the ground, and the girl sat under the big tree reading a book, and the nine-tails quietly accompanied her.

Is this a dream?

But why is this dream so real? It can even smell the surrounding vegetation.

The thought flashed through Nine-Tails' mind, but instead of thinking about it, it got up from the ground and jumped onto the girl.

The girl seemed to understand what it meant, smiled and grabbed the two front paws of the Nine-Tails, put it on her thigh, and scraped its nose with her hand:

"Naughty! Okay, let's sleep here! ”

The Nine-Tails didn't want to sleep.

The girl frowned: "Can't you sleep?" That's not going to work! Later, we will have to go to the forest to collect herbs, and if we don't have the spirit, it is easy to miss the herbs growing in the bushes! ”

Hearing this, Nine-Tails immediately closed his eyes.

The girl finally smiled: "That's right! Good six tails! ”

But at this moment, she noticed that something was wrong: "Huh? Why did you cry all of a sudden? ”

"Whew!"

Nine-Tails quickly blinked, pretending that he was just having sand in his eyes.

"Did you get something in your eyes? Then I'll blow it for you! The girl stepped forward and blew a few times: "Okay, now it's gone, you can sleep with confidence!" ”

Nine-Tails nodded slightly, then closed her eyes and curled up on the girl's lap, quietly enjoying the atmosphere.

Even years later, it still remembers this afternoon, this afternoon that was so warm that it felt comfortable.

In the pasture, Naoki has been observing the situation of the Nine-Tails through the bubbles above their heads.

He found that when the Nine-Tails cried in his dream, a tear also flowed from the cheek of the Nine-Tails in reality.

A few Pokémon also came over, and they also saw the dream of the Nine-Tails.

The motorcycle lizard had a sad look on his face: "Quack ......" (so sad...... ）

Naoki hadn't used up the bowl of melon seeds he had eaten in the morning, so he naturally understood what the motorcycle lizard said.

As a companion who has lived together for a long time, Naoki understands the meaning of the motorcycle lizard, even if it doesn't need to be explained.

"Yes, but there's no way around it!" He said.

"Ahh (What do you mean?) ）

Seeing several Pokémon looking over at the same time, Naoki continued:

"Because the lifespan of different species is different! Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, everything in the world will have such a day, but it is only a matter of time or time. ”

Kuailong hurriedly asked, "Huh?" (Will Naoki die one day?) ）

Hearing Kuailong's words, the heads of a group of Pokémon drooped down in unison.

"Quack...... (I don't want Naoki to die...... ）

Therefore, Loton looked horrified, although it came from the future, but it was not too far away.

It simply can't imagine that day......

As far as he knows, human beings are very fragile, and their lives are very short, some can only live for a few years, decades, and only a few can live for hundreds of years.

What to do? I'm so scared, what if Naoki dies tomorrow like those short-lived ghosts?

So the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and finally asked directly: "Ahh (Naoki, how long can you live, it won't be just a dozen years, right?) ）

Hearing this, Naoki was full of black lines: "How can there be such a curse to kill people?!" ”

So Lerton realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he covered his mouth.

Naoki knew what was going on in their hearts, and it was because they saw the Nine-Tails that they were emotional.

After thinking for a moment, he said with fighting spirit: "Don't be afraid, even if it is for you, I will try to live to be two hundred years old!" ”

Kuailong broke the casserole and asked, "Huh? (What about after 200 years old?) ）

The rest of the Pokémon also wanted to know the answer to this question, so they quickly looked at it.

Naoki coughed twice and said, "Maybe it will become a Pokémon!" I've heard people say that some Pokémon are made after human death, and I don't know if you've ever seen such a Pokémon. ”

He remembered that he had watched a Pokémon short animation in his previous life, and there was an episode in it called "I Became a Geng? 》

The heroine of that episode became a Geng ghost during her stay in school, and with the help of another Geng ghost, she got rid of the problem of social fear.

Later, sharp-eyed viewers discovered that the Geng ghost who helped the heroine was likely to be the heroine's sister.

Because of its smile, as well as the pendant of the mobile phone, etc., are all subtle hints.

Because of this, some people speculate that Gengar may also be a Pokémon transformed into after the death of a human.

Although this is just an urban weird story with little truth, in this world, nothing is strange what happens.

"So, as long as you remember me and don't stop thinking about me, then a miracle is possible, and if I become a Gengh, I will find you wherever you are."

Naoki smiled and reached out to touch the heads of the many Pokémon in front of him one by one: "When the time comes, don't you fail to recognize me!" ”

After all, it's a miracle that he can travel here.

Although there is no logic in this, the innocent Pokémon believe it.

Definitely not! No matter what Naoki becomes, they'll recognize it!
