Chapter 817: Kosaka Natsumi's Little Surprise
"Generally speaking, Pokémon can gain experience through battles or by using specific evolution stones..." Hanyukusu explained, "But the conditions here are special. Perhaps spiritual energy can also promote their growth."
As he was speaking, a slight commotion was heard from a distance.
I saw Bobo flying down at some point, quietly approaching a walking grass, and then gently pecking at the leaves of the walking grass with its sharp beak, as if carefully examining something.
The pedestrians being checked were so frightened that they trembled all over, like fallen leaves drifting in the cold wind, and dared not move.
“Bobo.” Hanyu Kusunoki waved his hand, “Don’t scare them.”
"wave~"
When Bobo heard this, he cried out, flapped his wings and flew away.
But not long after, she flew back, holding a few fruits in her mouth, which she had snatched from the little maid's flower bed in the front yard when Yingying was away, and threw them in front of Zou Zou Cao.
"Is this... bribery?" Xiao Ai asked in surprise.
Hanyu Kusunoki smiled: "It seems that Bobo has also learned the power of uniting the masses."
Seeing this, Yingying immediately ran away without giving in. After a while, she also brought back a few Lingmi fruits and piled them in front of Zou Lucao. She also wagged her tail at Bobo proudly.
"Bu Yi!" seems to be saying: My gift is better!
Bobo rolled his eyes and ignored her.
The interaction between the two Pokémon made the little girl laugh.
She gently pulled on Hanyu Kusunoki's sleeve: "They are so cute."
"Do you like it?" Hanyu Kusunoki asked.
Xiao Ai nodded vigorously, with a rare innocence and joy flashing in her eyes. Since becoming a child, she has been showing this pure and lovely side more and more.
Hanyu Kusunoki ruffled her hair and said, "Then I'll let you take care of the Pokémon that we've strengthened at home from now on. How about that?"
"Really?" Xiao Ai's eyes lit up.
"Of course." Hanyu Kusunoki smiled, "But you have to promise me not to turn them all into experimental subjects."
The arrogant Loli pouted: "I won't..."
But her eyes had unconsciously drifted towards the walking grass with golden leaves, and it was obvious that she was already planning some small "scientific research" plan in her mind.
Hanyu Nan shook his head helplessly and was about to say something when he suddenly heard the phone ringing in the villa.
"I'm going to take a call."
He stood up and said, "Play with them for a while."
Haibara Ai nodded, and couldn't wait to try more instructions. Hanyu Nan looked at her rare childishness, smiled, and turned to walk towards the villa.
Behind him came the joyful calls of "Mana~Mana~" from the walking grass, mixed with Huiyuan Ai's gentle guidance and the occasional "Bu-yi" sound of whimpering. Although Bobo pretended to be aloof and indifferent, he would steal a few glances from time to time to make sure everything was under control.
Sunshine, grass, Pokémon, and a little Lolita with a bright smile...
This afternoon is so beautiful that it seems unreal.
……
Inside the villa.
Ten minutes later, Hanyu Kusunoki hung up the phone.
A call from Princess Xia Mei.
Her pastry shop officially opened this afternoon.
Looking at the address sent by the other party on the phone, and the surprised and delighted voices of Xiaolan and Sonoko coming from the phone just now, Hanyu Kusunoki raised the corners of his mouth and curled up a smile.
The surprises of little girls are always so plain and simple, as pure as a clear stream that you can see to the bottom at a glance.
Similarly, their surprise could only be hidden from Xiaolan and her friends, who were also little girls.
However, Hanyu Kusunoki was happy to play this game with them.
Life should be so easy and happy, full of these little surprises and touches.
"Master Hanyu, shall we go over now?"
Mingmei poked her head out from the kitchen where she was making afternoon tea. She had heard the conversation in the living room just now and naturally knew that Kosaka Natsumi's pastry shop was right next to their dumpling shop.
Well, actually she already knew it.
Not only did she know it, but Xiao Ai had also guessed it a long time ago.
The way a certain Russian princess looks at her eldest master is all too familiar.
"No hurry." Hanyu Kusunoki glanced at Haibara Ai who was having fun with the little ones outside the window, "Let Ai play for a while longer."
Mingmei nodded in understanding and went back to the kitchen to continue preparing.
She specially used the gourmet cell baking oven to bake a plate of macarons. The colorful little desserts were neatly arranged, exuding an enticing sweet fragrance.
Although the little maid cannot compare to Xia Mei, the pastry master, in terms of craftsmanship, the macaron recipe can make the skin whiter and tenderer when baked, which is very attractive to girls.
"Master, do you think this is suitable as a grand opening gift?" Mingmei put the macarons into an exquisite gift box and tied a ribbon on it.
Hanyu Kusunoki walked closer and took a look: "It's beautiful, but..."
He snapped his fingers, and a crystal clear ice rose bloomed on his fingertips: "Add a little surprise."
Mingmei's eyes lit up: "So beautiful!"
The ice rose reflected colorful light in the sunlight, its petals were as thin as cicada wings and lifelike. Hanyu Kusunoki gently placed it on the gift box, and the ice rose miraculously did not melt.
"That should be enough," Hanyu Kusunoki said with satisfaction.
Mingmei asked curiously: "Master, this is..."
"It's just a little trick, the sacred code of the angel." Hanyu Kusunoki blinked, "It can last for three days without melting."
Mingmei covered her mouth and chuckled: "Ms. Xiamei will definitely like it."
Hanyu Kusunoki walked to the backyard and saw from a distance that Xiao Ai was directing the walking grasses to line up in a row, as if they were training "queue marching". The little girl had a serious face, like a strict little instructor, but the smile in her eyes could not be hidden.
"Ai-chan," Hanyukusu called, "get ready to go out."
Xiao Ai turned around, her face still flushed: "Where are you going?"
"Xia Mei's pastry shop has opened, let's go and congratulate her," said Hanyu Kusunoki.
The arrogant Loli pouted: "That Russian princess?"
Although she said she was reluctant, she still came over obediently and patted the non-existent grass debris on her clothes. After all, she often ate snacks baked with the semi-finished products made by the other party.
The walking grasses called "Mana~Mana~" reluctantly, and some of them even took their short legs and followed Xiao Ai for several steps, as if they didn't want to be separated from her.
"They seem to like you very much." Hanyu Kusunoki said with a smile.
Xiao Ai snorted lightly, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "It's just...scientific observation needs."
Hanyu Kusunoki ruffled her hair lovingly: "Yes, yes, our little scientist."
When the two returned to the villa, Mingmei had already prepared her clothes for going out. Xiaoai changed into a light blue dress and paired it with white leather shoes, looking like an exquisite doll.
"So cute~" Mingmei couldn't help but pinch her sister's little face.
Xiao Ai pouted: "Sister, don't treat me like a child."
"But you are just a child." Hanyu Kusunoki picked her up with a wicked smile, "Let's go, little princess."
Ai-chan struggled a few times, but when she found that she could not break free from Hanyu Nansu's strong arms, she simply gave up resisting and lay on Hanyu Nansu's shoulder angrily. However, her slightly shaking calves still exposed her emotions at the moment.
Mingmei followed behind with a gift box.
The family of three went out and walked towards the City Hall.
