Chapter 134 Lusamine: "Are you already in a relationship (laughing)"

On the boat to the Ether Paradise, the classmates were a little unhappy that Lillie had been hiding her identity.

We have known each other for such a long time, but we have only found out now. It is almost as if we don’t regard them as friends, so we are waiting for an explanation.

"Because of that..."

Lillie was struggling with how to give a reasonable explanation, but Hoshino helped her explain to others: "Because her mother was a researcher before, sometimes it was difficult to disclose her identity, but it is different now. As a director of the Ether Foundation,

"Chief, it doesn't matter if this identity is made public."

"That's it. If you're doing research, it's really inconvenient to say it."

Mitsuki nodded, but glanced at Hoshino. She and Lillie were very familiar with each other, and they had curiously asked each other about their family situation before.

But every time there was no answer, it meant that there must be a problem. There might be these reasons, but they were definitely not critical. But since she didn't want to talk about it, she came to help smooth things over.

As soon as the two sang together, others naturally believed it. Bi Ke was not with them, so even if there was a problem, it would be impossible to point it out.

Seeing that this matter was over so easily, Lillie breathed a sigh of relief, and then gratefully said thank you to Hoshino and Mitsuki.

"Um."

"It's a small thing."

Soon, the speedboat will arrive at Etherland. Looking from a distance, you can feel the size and shock of this artificial island, especially when you get closer.

Rather than an island, it is more like a huge building floating on the sea with a full sense of technology! It won't be a surprise if it flies one day.

Looking at the grandeur of Etherland, someone asked in shock: "Liliae, your house is too big!"

"These are all expanded at the back. They were not this big before. And although this island belongs to my family, my home is actually at the back..."

"Being able to own such an island is actually the same. I can't envy you."

"It's better not to be envious of this..."

While everyone was chatting, the speedboat gradually sailed into the pier and stopped in a dedicated docking area. There were only some staff from the Ethereum Paradise nearby and no tourists, so there was no need to worry about too many people and crowds.

After the docking, Bigui walked over from the front, clasped his hands together, and said to them with a smile: "Okay, kids, let's get off the boat here. Pay attention to your steps and don't fall off~"

"..."

Everyone was silent after one sentence, and Lillie explained with some embarrassment: "Sister Bigui is only a few years younger than my mother. She is just well-maintained and looks very young. By the way, she likes children very much. She usually

She often does this to me too."

"Wait, do you like children? A big car will crush you... I'm sorry, I got it wrong."

"Don't think wrongly! Keep your thoughts straight!"

"..."

After disembarking from the ship, Bigui was responsible for taking them to the employee-only elevator, a treatment that other tourists could not experience.

Hoshino observed the surroundings curiously, and then suddenly discovered that the map on the panel in front of him now had all the routes to the Aether Paradise marked, which was not the case before.

However, he suddenly discovered that there were more surveillance cameras in Aetherland on the map than in the Orange and Grape Academy.

He looked up and looked nearby. Sure enough, there was a Rotom camera pointed right here. He didn't know if this was it or who it was monitoring...

After taking the elevator to the first floor, when everyone was about to ask where to start the tour, Bigui suddenly smiled and said: "Before the official tour, we have one more place to go~"

"Huh? You haven't said that before, right?"

Everyone was a little confused. Is this kind of thing happening on the spur of the moment? They might not know what will happen.

Looking at their expressions, Bi Ke quickly explained: "Actually, the chairman wants to see you."

"!!!"

Lillie was suddenly startled. Not far behind her, Hawu asked, "Isn't the chairman just..."

Bigui nodded and responded: "That's right, it's Lillie's mother. After she learned that you were all coming, she deliberately pushed away some media and prepared to meet you in person to thank you for your time at school.

Some care for Lillie."

"I see, I feel a little embarrassed..."

Knowing that it was the chairman who wanted to see them, everyone had nothing to worry about, and they were all looking forward to seeing what kind of person Lillie's mother was.

But Lillie began to get nervous. She didn't expect that her mother would directly put aside other things and come to them specifically. What should she do?

Hoshino stood beside her, freed up a hand and patted her shoulder gently, comforting her softly: "Don't be nervous, it's okay, I'm here."

Lillie glanced at him and instantly felt safe, then smiled and nodded gently.

"Um."

However, their somewhat ambiguous actions were all captured by the Rotom surveillance camera above.

On the other side, the chairman of the Aether Foundation, Lillie's mother Lusamine, was in front of a screen, watching this scene with a smile, but her eyes gradually changed.

"Huh...are you here?"

…

Everyone continued to follow Biko to the second floor of Etherland. This is the ecological garden, which is where injured Pokémon live while they recover from their injuries and heal their psychological trauma.

"Wow, this place is completely different from the ecological parks of some research institutes I have visited before."

"Of course, we have completely simulated the ecological environment of the wild, and at the same time, we will also create a living area specifically for each Pokémon here, so that it can be easily nursed back to health."

"This is a bit powerful..."

"This is the technology of our Ethereum Foundation and will not be passed on to others, so it is better not to continue to inquire about it."

Biko gave a friendly reminder, then looked forward and continued: "Across the woods ahead is the chairman's office. Because you can see the Pokémon in the park at any time, she chose this office here for convenience.

take care of."

"Eh? The chairman is really a kind person. He actually loves Pokémon so much."

"All the people here are like this~"

Bi Ke smiled and interjected, then stopped and continued: "You can go directly there. I still have work, so I will go down first."

"Well, thank you."

After bringing everyone here, Bi Ke said hello and left.

At this moment, from the front office, Lusamine walked out with a kind smile on her face. She could see the surveillance cameras along the way, so she would naturally know that they had arrived.

"Alola~"

Lusamine smiled and waved hello, and almost everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised when they looked at this perfect woman who was very similar to Lillie and full of mature temperament.

"So young, so beautiful, exactly like the news. Is this really Lillie's mother and not her sister?"

"Children are really good at talking, but I am indeed her mother ~ I am already over 40 years old."

Lusamine responded with a sheepish smile, then glanced away.

After staying on Hoshino for half a moment, he landed on Lillie, and then said in a reproachful tone: "I am also your mother after all, but you have not contacted me for a year. I heard that you have been to Pagoda before.

Dia? At least you should tell me what interesting things happened when you come back."

"this……"

Lillie lowered her head, not daring to look at the other person, but her move made Lusamine's green eyes seem to become a little cold.

However, Hoshino was on the side and said with a smile: "Because she has been working hard this year. She finally overcame her fear of Pokémon and learned how to fight. If she wants to catch up with others, how can she not work harder, so...

There isn’t much time left.”

Hearing this, Lusamine's eyes changed again, and then asked in great surprise: "Really? Have you really..."

"Yes!"

Lillie nodded seriously and continued: "I have overcome my fear, and now, I have conquered two Pokémon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, other people on the side immediately testified. This can be regarded as some practices when going to a friend's house to play, so that the friend can not lose face in front of the family, although this is also true.

After the confirmation, Lusamine's face seemed to have a real happy smile for the first time, and she nodded with great relief. Seeing her mother like this, Lillie was actually quite happy inside.

Just the next second, the other party's eyes fell on Hoshino, and then he put his right hand on his waist and asked curiously: "You were the one who answered for her just now, could you tell me your name, classmate?"

"My name is Hoshino, this is the first time we meet."

Hoshino responded politely, with a smile on his face all the time, and he had been observing the other party since he appeared. This chairman is indeed a ruthless character who is not easy to mess with.

"Hmm...that's a good name."

Lusamine nodded slightly, but then, the corners of her lips raised slightly, showing a kind smile, and suddenly asked: "So are you already in a relationship?"

"???"

Hoshino directly typed a few question marks. How did you think of this? No matter how you thought about it, you couldn't think of one. There were so many people at the scene, so you were chosen?

After hearing this question, Lillie reacted and immediately shook her head and responded: "We are not dating, we are just ordinary friends."

"Just friends...I understand."

The kind smile on Lusamine's face still did not disappear. Then she looked at the others and said, "I have something to do later, but as Lillie's classmates, you have helped me take care of her for so long, so I must give it to you."

Just some benefits!”

"I will let Bigui take you into the ecological park for a close-up visit later. This is a treatment that other tourists cannot experience. As for coming to my house in the evening, I will cook and entertain you~"

Hearing this, the others were quite surprised, but they understood and were too embarrassed to refuse. After saying thank you, they turned around and left. The other party said they would have something to do later, so they could leave.

But at this moment, Lusamine suddenly tilted her head and shouted: "Liliae, come here, I have something to tell you."

"..."

Lillie just turned around and froze on the spot when she heard the sound. Then she nodded slightly and walked towards her mother.

Hoshino glanced at it, but it was a pity that he couldn't follow him. This was the other party's family matter. He was just an outsider. Going in the past would only cause displeasure to the other party, so he whispered: "We will wait for you below."

"Um……"

Lillie responded, and then walked into the office with her mother. As the door was closed, only mother and daughter were left here.

At this time, the smile on Lusamine's face gradually disappeared. She turned to look at her daughter and asked: "Isn't it because you work too hard that you don't have time to contact me? How come you still have time to fall in love?"

"I……"

Seeing her sudden expression, Lillie instantly panicked, fear flashed through her heart, and she quickly wanted to explain, but Lusamine suddenly sighed with disappointment and shook her head.

"I even learned to lie to my mother. It's too easy to see through your mind. I know you have been running away from me, but I agreed because I love you and want to see you grow up. But in the end, you are also like you

Like my older brother who failed to live up to his expectations, he has turned into a bad boy. I am really sad."

"No, I didn't..."

Although I don’t know why my mother suddenly mentioned her brother who has become a missing person, she and Hoshino really don’t have that kind of relationship.

This is the truth, she didn't lie, she just tried her best to explain, but all she got back... was a crisp sound.

Snap——

Lillie's voice stopped suddenly, her eyes widened, her expression completely stunned, and a red mark was clearly left on her fair face.

Lusamine took her hand back, and her eyes had lost their luster at this moment. She looked at her daughter with great indifference and said coldly: "Bad children who disobey their mother should be punished. Think about it clearly! You should be mine for the rest of your life.

Lovely daughter, instead of going to be with someone else! Then leave me! This is not dominance, but my love for you..."

After saying that, she opened the door and left the office, leaving Lillie alone here, kneeling on the ground, covering her face, choking...

On the first floor of Ether Paradise, Hoshino was alone waiting for the eldest lady to come down. As for the others, they followed Bi Ke to play, mainly because he was not interested in it for the time being.

He glanced at the time on the big screen not far away and complained in a low voice: "It's so slow. It's been almost an hour. Isn't it down yet?"

"Meow……"

Xinye Miao was held by him with a resentful look on his face, and kept tugging on his hand with his paws, expressing that he wanted to go play around and didn't understand why he had to wait so long.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you over there to eat desserts. I hope the kids haven't taken them all."

"Meow~"

After saying this, Xinye Miao became happy, and Hoshino reluctantly hugged them and prepared to go over.

But as soon as he got up from his seat and took two steps forward, he bumped into a passerby wearing a hat and sunglasses. His sunglasses accidentally fell to the ground, and he subconsciously said sorry.

When the other party didn't respond, he bent down to pick up his sunglasses. Hoshino also bent down to help him pick them up, but he just couldn't figure out why he had to wear sunglasses in such a brightly lit place indoors.

At this moment, the two of them touched their sunglasses at the same time, subconsciously looked up at each other, and then froze at the same time.

Because he was bent over, the hat on his head failed to suppress the opponent's mop-like bangs, and he was ejected to the ground, revealing his true face.

"Is it you?"

"It's you!!!"
