Chapter 293 Reunion at Zhuqing Village, Wangluo and Zhulan’s stare at each other

The Pearl Village at night is quiet and deep, with no lights, relying entirely on the swaying in the cold wind. The bonfire lit in the evening but not extinguished brings a ray of light.

People in this era basically don't stay up late, and there is no so-called nightlife and late-night snacks. No one knows what dangers are hidden in the darkness of the wild. They just want to be able to sleep peacefully until dawn tomorrow.

Hoshino stood in front of the door of his temporary cabin, looking up at the night sky. The weather was good tonight, and there were many stars twinkling. It was like looking at the stars on the roof of Wanshi House occasionally, but there was one less person beside him.

"I hope everything is okay..."

He closed the door and his body instantly warmed up, but the worry in his heart did not subside at all. He was worried that Lillie might still be in the wild and had not found a safe place to rest.

Thinking about this, he returned to the board and looked at the resting Pokémon, gradually falling asleep. He was too tired...

In the blink of an eye, a cry came from nowhere, and the sky was completely bright. Hoshino had finished tidying up, opened the door and walked out. Feeling the chill coming, he was still a little uncomfortable.

Standing at the door, I saw that some members of the Pearl Team had already set out to fish at the beach with their equipment. Crops cannot be grown in this environment of pure white frozen soil, so fishing is their source of livelihood.

If you can't finish eating, you will take it to Zhuqing Village to find others to sell it. The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish will be, and then you will buy some daily necessities and bring it back.

He looked up at the warm sunshine that was shining down on his body, smiled and nodded: "The weather is good, and it's not snowing."

As the words fell, a huge figure appeared from mid-air. It suddenly flapped its wings and landed, looking at the other person's black and white feathers and the flaming crest composed of multiple colors on its head.

This is a warrior eagle in the form of a green emerald, and it is much larger than the average warrior eagle. It is what makes the bird call heard in the morning.

"Hey~"

A lively and cute little girl jumped off the back of the warrior eagle and stood wobblingly on the snow. She had blush on her face, a velvet hat on her head, and her long green hair was tied into two

braid.

Different from those in the Pearl Team, she wore a dark blue dress with different patterns on it. She wore thick velvet gloves on her hands, snow boots on her feet, and her legs were covered in stockings with gradient colors from green to green.

Wrapped, the whole body is wrapped tightly.

Seeing the little girl jumping and running towards the other side, Hoshino looked at it for a moment and whispered: "The field director of the King Kong team...Wasabi? Then this warrior eagle is the king she takes care of..."

Both the King Kong team and the Pearl team have five field directors who are responsible for taking care of the ten kings. I don't know how they are reasonably allocated.

After looking at the warrior eagle resting there, Hoshino was ready to go looking for food, but at this moment, the children who played with Sai Fuhao last night suddenly ran over again and asked Sai Fuhao if he was awake.

"Um...it's in the house. Don't let Popper's dolphin hang out, let it do acrobatics for you to see, and it can sing."

"Can that silly fish really sing?"

"Yes, it's very powerful."

Hoshino responded with a smile. Most humans in this era are still afraid of Pokémon, especially older people because they have experienced being attacked by Pokémon, but children are not like that.

Children are very curious and often don't listen to their parents' warnings, so they are not too afraid of Pokémon, they just find it fun.

He also observed this last night. Many people in the Pearl Team kept a certain distance from Saifufu and Popper. To them, Pokémon were very scary creatures.

Only these big tailed civets who were brought back from childhood and grew up in Pearl Village would feel more at ease, but they would still be a little wary.

At this time, Zhubei, who seemed to have gotten up very early, wandered over here and watched the children drag out the sleeping Popper's dolphin. Then he looked at Hoshino aside and said hello: "You got up very early too.

, how was your rest here last night?"

"It's my habit to wake up early and sleep well."

"That's good. In order to avoid saying that our Pearl Team is not good at hosting guests, let's go over and have breakfast now. We brought back a lot of vegetables from Zhuqing Village yesterday."

"Well, thanks."

Hoshino followed Zhubei to a large house in the Pearl Village. This is the canteen. The entire settlement has a permanent population of only more than a thousand people, neither too many nor too few. They all eat here.

But compared to Subei, most people here are still wary of Hoshino, a new foreigner, and don't even say hello on a daily basis.

He was also curious about this. He looked at Zhu Bei walking in front and asked: "Obviously we are strangers, but it feels like you don't care about my identity at all, and you don't look like a stranger."

You have a mature personality, right?"

"Many people in the settlement may never leave too far in their lives. Fishing at the beach is the longest distance. I often go out. Although I have never been to other areas, I am from a different area than the Galaxy team in Zhuqing Village.

people I’ve gotten along with.”

Zhubei explained that most of the people in the settlement are relatively feudal. Let’s not talk about this outsider. The key is that you bring so many Pokémon with you...

"I see."

Hoshino nodded and understood. No wonder Sai Fuhao's talent didn't work, because these people themselves had no good impressions of him and were wary, maybe even disgusted. It was the greatest kindness not to drive him out.

At this time, Zhubei continued: "Also, I see the shadow of Xiaozhao in you. I have doubted her before and did not trust her..."

"But when I saw her personally fighting against the Jungle King Ax Mantis, and letting it recover and calm down, I saw the difference between her and others, the way she treats Pokémon... Maybe this is what she said

Let’s talk about the trainer.”

"Trainers are indeed like this."

Hoshino nodded. In this era, the concept of trainers has just begun to take shape. The only trainer is Xiao Teru. After her, perhaps trainers officially began to become popular and spread to all parts of the world with Team Galaxy...

…

Just as the two were talking about this topic, Hoshino suddenly saw Wasabi eating breakfast over there, and asked curiously: "She is a member of the King Kong team, right? Aren't you Pearl Team and King Kong Team not to deal with each other?"

Zhubei shook his head, then walked over there, and explained: "We just have different positions, but it does not prevent everyone in the settlement from getting along with each other. After all, we all live in this Xicui area. In daily life, even when there are difficulties, we still

We’ll help each other.”

Although the conflict between Team Pearl and Team Kong has lasted for nearly a thousand years, the conflict is mainly about the issue of the Great Master of Sinnoh.

Both sides want the other side to admit that the one they believe in is the true Master of Sinnoh, so as long as they don't mention this, they can still live in harmony.

Seeing the two people approaching, Wasabi smiled and said hello: "Good morning, Sister Zhubei, who is this big brother behind you? Don't you want Brother Gangshi?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhubei punched her on the head, then pinched her face, smiling angrily and saying: "Brother Gangshi? Why don't you make it clearer? When did I have a relationship with him?

"

"It hurts, it hurts! Don't pull it..."

"..."

Seeing Zhubei break the power in one second, he suddenly became irritable. Hoshino looked away awkwardly, pretending that he didn't see anything, and then went to the other side to get food.

Although the looks from these people were unfriendly to him, he had long been used to it. In the past, when he was not good at getting along with others, he often suffered from these looks.

But there is one thing to say, the food here... is indeed quite average. Considering the living standard, there is nothing that can be done about it. Fortunately, he has never been very picky about food and has never been in any environment.

When Jean finished breakfast, Subei had left at some point, but Wasabi sat opposite him with a curious look on his face, resting his face on his hands and watching with a smile.

"Is something wrong?"

"Well, big brother, where are you from?"

"Alola Region."

"Really? Let me tell you quietly... Wasabi has a very powerful clairvoyance. Not only can she see very far away, but when she is in good condition, she can even see a little bit of the future, although only for a few seconds."

"What kind of top-level knowledge is domineering?"

"Actually, I saw you yesterday when I was looking at the scenery at Xuefeng Temple. You fell out of a crack that suddenly appeared in the sky and fell into the forest. I originally wanted to go and have a look, but there was something wrong.

Too far..."

Hearing this, Hoshino quickly asked: "Am I the only one who fell out of it?"

"Yes, I only see you."

"Okay, thank you."

Hoshino at least knew how he appeared. There was no doubt that the other party had clairvoyance. It seemed that he was the only one who was refreshed in the pure white frozen soil. The environment in other places was not so harsh, so he could feel a little relieved.

After saying this, Wasabi did not continue to ask. She jumped off the stool and continued: "Wasabi, if you have anything else to do, leave first. If big brother is free, you can come and play with me~"

"Yeah, definitely."

Hoshino waved his hand and watched the other party leave, then looked at the time on his phone. Unexpectedly, it was already noon, and it was getting late here. He had manually adjusted the time last night, and it was probably not wrong.

Then he left here, brought some food to the Pokémon, and then planned to walk around the Pearl Settlement to familiarize himself with the environment...

But for the next whole day, he didn't see Zhubei. As the leader of the Pearl Team, he was busy with various things, so he was so young that he couldn't play outside for a long time.

Just like this, another two days passed, and Hoshino, a foreigner, was gradually accepted by some people in the settlement. He would do some things for the people here from time to time in the past few days, so as not to say that he was living here temporarily and doing nothing.

He has basically understood the surrounding environment of Pearl Settlement. It is located at the foot of a snow-capped mountain, next to cliffs, and above it is Wisdom Lake and the Snow Peak Temple guarded by the Pearl Team, where Wasabi often plays.

Therefore, Pearl Settlement should be the predecessor of Xuefeng City in the Sinnoh region. The geographical environment is close. However, the Xuefeng Temple was no longer on the Snow Mountain during the Sinnoh era. It seems that something happened later, such as an avalanche, which caused the temple to fall.

Come down.

But today is finally time to set off, but it is not a day for the Pearl team to go out for trading and purchasing, but a day for Zhu Bei to go privately to Zhuqing Village to visit friends, so only the two of them will go there together.

Hoshino had already packed his things early in the morning. When he went out, he saw Subei waiting. After saying hello, he curiously asked, "I haven't seen you in the past few days."

"Well, I went to Master Hama. The Snowfield King Ice Rock Monster he took care of also went berserk for unknown reasons not long ago, so I go there from time to time to check on the situation."

Sugai explained a little tiredly. She had just turned 18 this year, even younger than Hoshino, but she was already responsible for taking care of the entire Pearl Team, and she became the leader a few years ago.

"That's really hard work. By the way, the position of your leader is selected, right? How can they bear to let a little girl work so hard?"

"Huh? Who are you calling the little girl?"

Seeing Subei suddenly glaring over, Hoshino had no choice but to shut up, but the other party explained: "Because I am good at playing the Flute of the Gods. Whether it is the King Kong Team or the Pearl Team, this is a necessary condition for becoming the leader.

The sound of the flute allows the king to obey my orders and communicate with the king, but after the rage, the king can no longer hear anything."

"I see……"

Hoshino nodded and understood that it was probably because the previous leader died unexpectedly and he was anxious to choose a new person to take his place. After all, it doesn't matter who the leader of an organization is, but it must never be without a leader.

After saying this, Zhubei called the big tailed civets and said: "Let's go, it's getting late. Zhuqing Village is quite far away from here, about three days' journey. You'd better bring the food."

superior."

"What? Three days?"

"Yes, let's let the big tailed civet pull us there. It may take half a month to get there on foot. The mountain road is not very easy to walk, and we have to prevent Pokémon attacks. I think you are a traveler and don't know this.

You don’t know anything, right? A primitive man?”

"..."

Hoshino was speechless for a moment. Damn it, I have become a primitive person... But it is too outrageous to ask Pokémon to pull a cart for three days, but considering that in this era, even the roads are not repaired, and the mountain roads are all dug.

It seemed that he could accept it, but he couldn't.

Just two people for three days? Spending the night outside with Jubei? Adayo, if Lillie knew about this, she wouldn't be able to explain it, so it's definitely not possible, but Milerton is not here, so there is no way to race...

He thought for a moment and said, "Three days is too slow. I can't wait that long."

"Three days are already very fast, okay!"

"No, I mean it can be faster. The pure white frozen soil is a great place for skiing!"

Saying that, Hoshino asked Iron Bundle to get ready. Seeing the Iron Bundle suddenly move, Zhubei was shocked: "Is this also a Pokémon?"

"That's for sure. You don't even know this. Are you a primitive man?"

"..."

Listening to these familiar words, when Subei couldn't hold back and almost shouted back, Hoshino continued: "Let him and Saifuhao take us skiing, this will save a lot of time, but in this way,

It will be a problem if you come back."

"It's okay. I just need to pay the people from Team Galaxy to take me back, so hurry up and let me experience it! I want to see them take me skiing!"

"Well, let's go."

After getting two simple skis and ropes, Tie Baofeng and Sai Fuhao grabbed them and flew directly into the sky on the snow, dragging the two of them towards the distance. Such a fast speed made Zhu Bei stunned.

He couldn't help shouting excitedly.

"well……"

Hoshino shook his head. He had never seen the world like this. After specifying the direction, the two skied away from Pearl Village and drove towards the distance.

Because the speed was too fast, many wild Pokémon on the road had not yet reacted, and they passed by in a flash, unable to even catch up.

There were many dangerous shortcuts, but this time they were all rushed over. It only took two and a half hours for the two of them to leave the pure white frozen soil.

As the snow around them became less and less, the speeds of Tie Baobao and Sai Fuhao had to slow down, but they were still much faster than the carts pulled by the big-tailed civet.

Now the snow on the surrounding mountains is gradually disappearing, replaced by green, as if winter has suddenly come to spring, the temperature has also risen a lot, and some insects can already be heard.

Although he left so quickly, Zhubei waved his hands in disgust as he felt the surrounding temperature and said, "It feels a little hot..."

"..."

Hoshino has nothing to say. The temperature is only over ten degrees Celsius now. How hot is it? And it’s still hot for you wearing these clothes, right? I’m afraid you’re already hypothermic...

After the speed slowed down, I was finally able to take a look at the surrounding environment. There were a lot of random and unnamed trees, just like in modern Tianguan Mountain. This kind of scenery is everywhere here.

"I really admire those who dare to travel in places like this. It feels like there are dangers everywhere."

Hoshino felt that if he were to be put into the shoes of ordinary people in this era, they would never dare to venture into such a ghost place without Pokémon. I am afraid that only a Super Cleansing Man could do it.

Time continued to pass, and with the scorching sun in the sky, the temperature continued to rise. He felt a little hungry, so he asked: "Don't you often walk this road? How long will it take to get there?"

Zhubei pointed to a short distance away and said: "Did you see the river next to it? It's almost at the end, but it's really fast. It usually takes two days to get here, but now it's only half a day. At this speed

I think we'll arrive in the evening."

"Really? Then I think it can be faster!"

"Well?"

Let Sai Fuhao rest, Popper Dolphin caught up, and landed on the river with the iron baggage. In an instant, the home field was back again, and the speed also increased directly.

Looking at the splashing water around him, Zhu Bei was speechless with excitement. Surfing was more enjoyable than skiing. Unexpectedly, this silly fish could swim faster than the Black-tailed Blackfish that was being taken care of by the King Kong Team.

"..."

Hoshino shook his head, he no longer wanted to complain, just be happy...

Nearly an hour passed, and I could feel the sea breeze coming. After passing through the mountains, I could already see some human buildings in the distance.

"Is that the celebration village?"

"That's right, it's finally here!"

Zhuqing Village is the predecessor of Zhuqing City in the Sinnoh region, but the location of the Zhuqing City in front of you is actually the predecessor of Shuimai City.

By reading the history of the Sinnoh region, we can learn that it is said that a hundred years ago in the modern era, when Zhuqing Village had just formed a town, an earthquake occurred one day and a tsunami submerged the entire Zhuqing Village.

At that time, those people moved to the mountains farther away, where they carved out a new area and developed into today's Zhuqing City.

After the tsunami receded, some people came there again and built the current Shuimai City on the site of the former Zhuqing Village to facilitate communication with the outside world.

"Translation woo~"

Satisfied, Popper's dolphin threw the pearl shell to the shore. Surfing was indeed the most comfortable thing, and then he jumped on it too.

Hoshino stepped onto the shore, and after waiting for Iron Baggage and Sai Fuhao to come up, when he was about to start exploring the Celebration Village, a voice suddenly came from not far away: "Don't move! And those Pokémon too!"

"Um?"

When the two heard the sound and looked around, they saw a tall, red-haired woman with a hairstyle that looked like a two-tailed monster, suddenly walking towards them with others.

"She's from the Galaxy Team's security team. She's the team leader, Belila. Maybe a strange Pokémon suddenly broke in, making her wary."

With that said, Subei stepped forward to explain to those people, while Hoshino began to observe that this Belila should be the ancestor of Daye, the Four Heavenly Kings in the Sinnoh region, and they looked very similar in every aspect...

"Really, I understand..."

After Jubei explained, Bellera nodded and relaxed her vigilance a little. She just patrolled here and suddenly saw a strange Pokémon appear. She thought it was an emergency.

Then she looked at Hoshino and asked: "You said you are a trainer?"

"That's right. Do you want me to show you the trainer's certificate?"

"What is that? Forget it... just come with me. Don't let your Pokémon get too far away from you. I'll take you to Team Galaxy's headquarters first."

"no problem."

Hoshino nodded and followed. At this time, Zhubei said again: "Since we have sent it to the celebration village, you should follow Beila there first. I also want to visit Xiaozhao."

Hearing this, Beila La smiled and said: "Xiao Zhao took a few newcomers to the Obsidian Field for assessment this morning. It is estimated that they will not be back until very late."

"Eh?"

Zhubei was disappointed. She didn't expect that Xiaozhao had recovered. She had no choice but to go to the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce first and wait for them to come back...

Belila led Hoshino all the way to the celebration village. On the way, she did not forget to smile and said: "I didn't expect that you are also a trainer like Xiao Zhao. So you should be able to fight Pokémon?"

"Well, I know a little bit."

"Haha, our Galaxy team also has people from the Alola region. Maybe they know you, but I'd better take you to meet Boss Magamu first. He is the leader of Team Galaxy."

"no problem."

When Hoshino answered her question, he also did not forget to observe the surrounding situation. The houses here are all of the same structure and relatively new. They should have been renovated.

The residents around him were not repulsed by his arrival. Instead, they all looked curious. Maybe it was because strangers appeared here from time to time and they were all used to it.

However, there are really few Pokémon here. Apart from a small fist stone used to press the pickle jar, I only saw a member of Team Galaxy passing by holding a shield cocoon and chanting the name "carapace cocoon".

For a moment, Belila stopped and Hoshino also stood up. Looking up, he saw a modern building standing here.

The three-story building is incompatible with other houses in Celebration Village. There are two Magikarp decorations and a Galar double gas chimney on the roof. There are actually two street lights in front of the door, and there are paintings in the middle of the building.

Team Galaxy logo.

"Good guy..."

"Haha, you're surprised. This is the architectural style of the Galar region. The cities there are now full of such houses, which are very different from the Xicui region."

"It's a bit..."

After spending a few days in the Pearl Settlement, and then comparing the environment here, the gap is really huge, which shows how backward the current Xicui area is, not even comparable to the Alola area.

But it is precisely because of this that so many people from other regions formed the Galaxy Team and came to the Xicui area to investigate and successfully develop it.

"Come in with me."

"Um."

Belila said hello to the guard standing at the door, then led Hoshino all the way to the third floor, knocked on the door, and after hearing voices coming from inside, she opened the door and walked in.

"Boss, here comes a trainer like Xiao Zhao, and he also brings Pokémon with him."

"Huh? I understand, you should go out first."

"Okay!"

Belila smiled and patted Hoshino on the shoulder, then went downstairs to leave. In front of the desk in this room, a figure wearing a kimono suddenly turned around and stood up. His face was very majestic, giving people a very bad feeling.

Provoking feeling.

"Young man, what is your name?"

"My name is Hoshino."

Hoshino responded honestly, and then looked at the other person, exactly like Dr. Yamanashi.

At this time, the other party nodded and said in a deep voice: "I am Magamu, the leader of Team Galaxy. I heard that you are a trainer like Xiao Zhao, right?"

"That's right!"

Hoshino nodded, but Magamu suddenly waved his coat away, rushed forward, stretched out his hands, and grabbed him.

But as soon as he exerted his strength, Hoshino in turn threw him to the ground. After all, he is a super Alola man. What if he was knocked over by you?

"……What are you doing!"

"Haha, I just want to test how much you weigh. It seems that your strength is pretty good. You defeated me with 30% of my strength."

"..."

Hoshino didn't know what to say. At this time, Magamu got up from the ground, picked up his coat and put it on again, and continued: "Since as a strong-blooded man, you can never lose in terms of momentum, your performance

I am very satisfied!”

As he said that, Magamu suddenly changed the subject and said in a deep voice: "Since you have Pokémon with you, as a trainer, have you considered joining Team Galaxy?"

"..."

Faced with this familiar question that Akari had asked once before, Hoshino didn't even think about it and responded directly with a smile: "No problem! I've heard about what Team Galaxy did in the Xicui area for a long time. I came from A

I came here from the Rolla area just to help!"

"very good!!!"

Magamu suddenly responded loudly, and then said: "Our Celebration Village welcomes new partners to join, and Team Galaxy is also in great need of manpower right now. Let's investigate Pokémon with us!"

"Very good!"

"but……"

"Um?"

Magamu crossed his arms and continued with a serious expression: "If you want to join Team Galaxy, you still need to pass the assessment. We have an investigation team, a security team, a medical team, a manufacturing team, a farming team, a construction team... What do you want?

Which group to join?”

"Um……"

Hoshino thought for a moment and responded with a smile: "Let's just go to the investigation team. I heard that you can often run into the wild and interact with Pokémon. And Jubei said that Xiaozhu is also in the investigation team, maybe we can get to know each other."

"Xingyue, the leader of the investigation team, is in the office on the first floor. You can just go down and talk to her later. However, the construction team is currently short of people, and some new people came yesterday. There are no extra dormitories in Zhuqing Village.

It is provided, so you have to find a way on your own, or find someone else to squeeze in."

"no problem."

Hoshino doesn't care. It's hard to tell where you live. You can build it yourself by just finding some materials, but don't underestimate your hands-on ability.

Faced with his confidence, Magamu nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Then you go down first, I have some things to do here."

"Well, farewell."

After saying that, Hoshino closed the office and left. After confirming that he had gone downstairs, Magamu lay on his desk, his expression suddenly turned painful.

"It hurts, it hurts... I even kept my hands, but this guy didn't keep his hands at all..."

…

Hoshino returned to the first floor and happened to meet a member of the Galaxy Team. The other party smiled and waved hello to him and said: "Hello, newcomer, my name is Shuzo. I am currently practicing an ability called sorting.

If you feel that the capacity of the backpack is too small, you can come to me to help you expand the storage space without increasing the size of the backpack. Of course... these are not free!"

Hearing this, Hoshino suddenly thought of those modern backpacks that may not look big but can hold a lot of things, and he took a deep breath, as if he had seen the source of all evil.

"You are the God of Space, right?"

"What?"

Shuuzang was a little confused, but Hoshino would definitely not explain anything to him. After saying hello, he walked towards the office directly in front of him.

The office door was open, but he knocked on the door first. After hearing the voice of "please come in" from inside, he walked in.

On the desk in front, a Cathy was sitting there resting, and behind there was a woman who had a similar temperament to Chiri, but looked very strict, looked over and asked: "Who are you?"

"Um... I just told Boss Magamu that I am a new member of the investigation team."

Hoshino responded. There was no doubt that the person in front of him was the ancestor of Chiri and the next leader of Team Galaxy, Xingyue.

However, unlike Chiri, who has no emotion, the other person is obviously much more normal, and he only feels the tiredness after working too hard.

Hearing the response, Xingyue stood up, looked him over, followed Chiri's habit, put his hands behind his back, and walked over.

Only then did she notice the Popper dolphins following Hoshino, and asked curiously: "Are these Pokémon all yours?"

"Yes, he is my companion."

"Companion... very good, so are you here to take the assessment to join the team?"

"That's right."

"Well, Xiaozhao and Mingyao took the newcomers for the assessment. Now only Dr. Laben is still in the investigation team, but you don't need us to provide Pokémon, so let's wait until tomorrow morning."

"OK."

After a brief exchange of words, Xingye left the Galaxy Team headquarters. However, looking at the backs of him and the Pokémon leaving, Xingyue was silent for a moment and whispered: "Are you the same trainer as Xiao Zhao..."

After leaving Team Galaxy headquarters, the sky was already turning red, and it was already evening before we knew it. However, Hoshino had not found a place to stay, and he had not eaten anything since morning.

"Sigh... It's true, but it's settled. I'll pass the assessment tomorrow and then join the investigation team to start looking for people. I hope they're all fine."

In the reflection of Hoshino standing in the dusk, Mashado emerged from it. It seemed to feel a different kind of emotion from the other person.

Coming to this unfamiliar place, some people coming and going kept some distance from him and the Pokémon. Although they were not afraid of people, they were still afraid of these strange Pokémon.

After standing there for a while, Hoshino came back to his senses, with a smile on his face, and said: "Let's go, find a place to cook first, and then see if anyone is willing to stay for us for a night.

If you really can’t find it, you can sleep on a tree.”

"Gengar~"

"Didi~"

"Jiwagu~"

"Translation woo~"

"Ma~"

"Meow~"

The sudden meowing of a cat made Hoshino subconsciously look towards the entrance of the village. There seemed to be a group of people there who had just returned from a field survey and were talking together.

Among them, one person suddenly stopped and looked here with a trembling expression, as if he was excited, but also as if he couldn't believe it. He was confirming whether he had seen it wrong, but he was definitely not wrong!

The new leaf cat she was holding in her arms broke away, rushed over excitedly, and jumped on Hoshino, and she followed closely and ran over.

Feeling a familiar fragrance and the screams of cats, Hoshino was thrown to the ground by the other party and hugged him tightly. Then, with choking sounds of joy and relief, he also heard: "I'm so happy that you're okay."

Well, I'm afraid I'll never see you again..."

"...Okay, everyone else is watching."

Although he said that, Hoshino had no intention of taking the initiative when being hugged by Lillie. Although he did not show it like this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and stretched out his hand to hug the other person.

, held in his arms for comfort.

"Are you okay?"

"Um……"

Lillie responded softly, and then with Zhulan's persuasion, she finally got up from Hoshino. At this moment, there were many people watching the excitement around.

Hoshino stood up with a smile and caught Xinye Miao who was knocked unconscious. He looked at everyone and saw that except Qinglu, everyone was here and had already changed into the costumes of Team Galaxy's investigation team.

Especially Lillie, it was rare that she no longer wore a skirt, tied up in twin ponytails, and there was no trace of the temperament of a young lady in her whole body.

As for the others, Xiaoguang and Minghui were okay, they just changed into clothes casually, but Zhulan changed her hairstyle and tied up her long blond hair with hairpins to make it easier to move in the field.

Next to them, a young man who looked similar to Minghui but wore a pure red hat and scarf put his hands behind his head and said with a smile: "Is he the person Lillie was looking for? Now that he has found it

, you can rest assured... By the way, my name is Mingyao, and I am also a member of the investigation team."

"Well, hello, my name is Hoshino."

Hoshino nodded in response, and then looked to the other side, where there was a girl who looked similar to Xiaoguang but was wearing a white headscarf and a red scarf.

The other party noticed the sight, nodded with a smile, and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Xiao Zhao."

"Well, I've been hearing about you since I came here. By the way, Zhubei seems to be looking for you. She should be at the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce now."

"Really? Thanks for telling me, I'll go there first. Mingyao, you can take them to the team leader to report the situation."

Seeing Xiao Zhao leaving after saying hello, Mingyao shook his head and complained: "Obviously I am the senior... Forget it, I'll go find the team leader first. You guys should come in quickly and register."

"Coming."

Minghui responded and followed. Xiaoguang glanced at Lillie and Hoshino, hesitated for a moment, but still did not bother them.

But just as she was about to follow him, she felt a line of sight from the crowd of people who were watching but not dispersing, so she looked subconsciously.

Then she was stunned for a moment, and saw that the man was slender, wearing a blue coat, carrying a large luggage bag on the back, and a white apron on the front, with a pattern of two yellow ginkgo leaves intertwined on it.

It is the logo of the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce.

But under the yellow and blue peaked cap, the long golden hair was tied together like a girl's hair, and the too long bangs in front covered his left eye, blocking his handsome face, but his appearance... was different from Zhu's.

Sister Lan is very similar!

Noticing that Xiaoguang had found him, the man smiled and was about to turn around, but Zhulan happened to look over, and then both of them were stunned at the same time.

"Um?"

"Um?"

The two of them looked at each other quietly for several seconds with identical platinum eyes. Finally, the other party first looked away, showing a somewhat doubtful expression about life, but then he smiled with interest and left.

Seeing the other party leaving, Zhulan did not look away, but looked at him calmly, gently twirling his chin with his fingers, and whispered: "Is he the Wangluo that Xiaozhao said is very similar to me...?"

At the same time, Hoshino looked at Lillie's outfit and already knew what happened, and asked: "You also joined the Galaxy Team investigation team?"

"Yeah, for various reasons... I'll tell you later, but what is it?"

"Haha, I joined just now, but I haven't taken the exam yet, which is quite a coincidence."

"this……"

Lillie did not expect such a coincidence that he could find him here in such a short time, and then join the same organization as herself.

Thinking of this, maybe this is fate, she smiled and nodded, and asked: "Is there any arrangement for a place to live? This way I can still go there for a visit, but I can't go back now anyway."

"Um... not yet. They said that the construction team's performance has been poor recently. After a few new people moved in, there are no more dormitories left."

As for these newcomers, they are already obvious, and Hoshino has nothing to complain about. Anyway, except for a green one whose whereabouts are unknown, everyone has nothing to do. Although Milerton is not here, who can bully it? Giratina?

?

So it doesn't matter to him now. At worst, he can find wood and build one on the spot later. Although it is a bit crude, it will be no problem if it can be lived in.

"Build it yourself? It's going to be very troublesome...the conditions are not as good as where we live."

"No trouble, I've lived in caves."

But after hearing these words, Lillie fell silent. After pausing for a moment, she seemed to have some idea and responded softly with a red face.

"Then...stay with me tonight..."
