Chapter 48 The commission to snipe tree owls begins...

The next morning, as the sun rose in the east, the door of Wanshi House was opened from the inside, and the sunlight poured in, bringing a burst of warmth.

Hoshino checked the weather, took out the washed clothes and put them here to dry, then returned to the house and prepared breakfast for a few guys.

The two rats were running around the living room, playing with Gengar and the Motorized Lizard. They were already completely familiar with each other. However, in two days, a pair of rats would also be sent away and sent back to their hometown of Padea.

.

After the meal, Hoshino and Motorized Lizard took Gengar and prepared to go out to do the commission, while the two Rattus stayed at home to take care of the Pokémon egg. It has been shaking more and more violently recently, and it is probably about to hatch...

"Miss, you are so fast. Did you catch the first bus?"

Hoshino saw the message from Lillie, and then thought about the serious education he received from the other party last night, and suddenly showed an expression on his face that he didn't know what to say.

"How should I face her later, or should I continue to be the same as before without making any changes... I haven't met those meows in the past few days, and I finally gave up? Or are you holding back your big move again?"

He changed the topic himself, and Gengar sitting on his head couldn't understand what he was talking to himself, so he continued to blow in the wind and look at the scenery.

It snowed lightly all night, but as the sun rose, the snow basically melted. He was very familiar with the route to the hospital. He didn't even need to look at a map to find it, and he arrived quickly.

"Over here!"

After Lillie saw Hoshino, she smiled and waved and shouted. Today she put on a short skirt that was more convenient for movement. She no longer wore the white hat, but tied her long hair into a single ponytail.

, the whole person seems to be full of energy.

"Alola~"

"Alola..."

Hoshino walked over and responded. Sure enough, he was still a little embarrassed and uncomfortable. Gengar and Motorized Lizard also came over to say hello. They were always indifferent.

"Gengar~"

"Mo Lizard~"

"Alola~ You are in good spirits today, please work hard later!"

Lillie is now very much looking forward to the next commission, and this is also the key to deciding whether she can officially join the House of Everything.

Hoshino tried his best not to look at her to avoid embarrassment. After holding the little Gengar in his arms who wanted to float over to play with her first, he continued: "Wait a little longer. It will be the appointed time soon. I think it will be quick to snipe the tree owl."

Coming over."

"Um."

Lillie nodded lightly, and then sat down with him on a bench in the park, with a deliberate distance between them.

During the waiting time, it was Hoshino who broke the awkward atmosphere first and said slowly: "As a... friend? Can you tell me about you? I want to get to know you..."

"Um?"

"That's why you are afraid of Pokémon. There must be a reason for this, right?"

Hoshino was a little curious about this. He instinctively felt that this stubborn young lady might not be able to get rid of him in the future. In order to avoid being accidentally tricked by the other party in the future, it would be better to ask a little bit about the reason.

When mentioning this, the smile on Lillie's face gradually faded. She shook her head slightly and responded in a low voice: "This...actually I don't know. I always feel like I have forgotten something."

"I don't know from which day, whenever I encounter a Pokémon, I will react instinctively, and I will become very scared, both physically and mentally."

After hearing this, Hoshino thought for a while and guessed: "The brain should let you selectively forget something out of protection. But people don't remember, but the body still remembers, so that's why it's like this?"

"That's what everyone says, but I still can't remember what happened, and I can't overcome this fear, and my mother... no, it's nothing."

When she suddenly mentioned her mother, Lillie's eyes flashed with pain, but it was fleeting. She shook her head and her voice became much softer.

She did not continue talking, but changed the topic, looked sideways, and asked: "What about you? There must be a reason why you have such a character. You lack the company of your family..."

"I have been an orphan since I was a child, without a family."

"Feel sorry……"

Only then did Lillie realize that she should have known about this kind of thing for a long time, but she mentioned it again.

However, Hoshino shook his head and responded: "It doesn't matter, and that's in the past. Don't we have family now?"

As he spoke, he touched the head of the little Gengar in his arms, and then looked at the motorcycle lizard chasing the wild little Du'er in the woods.

Lillie instantly understood what he meant and murmured softly: "Do you treat Pokémon as family...that's why you came up with the idea of ​​establishing a master house?"

Hoshino smiled, stood up and responded: "The only thing I know and am good at is Pokémon. If I can't succeed in what I'm best at, then I don't know what the meaning of my life is."

"You don't seem to be particularly good at it. Didn't you fail all the subjects in the exam..."

"Keep talking and I'll break your defense!"

Seeing him suddenly acting like this, Lillie smiled softly, but the next second Hoshino suddenly put Gengar on her body, her smile stopped abruptly, and her hair suddenly exploded.

"!!!"

"If you are afraid of Pokémon, keep contacting it and contacting it again until you completely overcome it and adapt to it. Your purity as a trainer will be greatly improved!"

"Gengar~"

Gengar smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Lillie's face. He already knew that this cute little sister might be a member of the future House of Everything, so he naturally wanted to treat her friendly and kindly.

Just as they were fighting, the green shade above shook for a while, and a sniper tree owl flew down from above and landed in front of them, almost falling down.

"Gu..."

"Coming."

Hoshino straightened his posture, and Gengar returned to his shoulders. Lillie also recovered with a resentful look on her face. Although she was a little angry, it was not the time to start working!

…

"Gu..."

"Is your trainer in the intensive care unit of this hospital? I understand... the relationship between you should be very good, right?"

"Goo!"

"Well... in the past two years, because the trainer's health has deteriorated and he has been hospitalized frequently, we have rarely seen him again?"

Watching Hoshino start a conversation based on the sniper tree owl's calls and movements, Lillie on the side only felt that it was very powerful and she wanted to learn this too.

But these things were put aside for the time being. After hearing the translation, she subconsciously asked: "In that case, why don't you spend more time with me in the last time? Is there any conflict between you two?"

Lillie said the question Hoshino wanted to ask, but the sniper tree owl shook its head, saying that it had always had a good relationship with its trainer, but this happened suddenly.

"That's indeed a bit strange..."

Hoshino took notes and continued to ask: "Does your trainer have other Pokémon? Since he has been traveling for so many years, you should not be the only one. Are there others..."

"Gu..."

The sniper tree owl shook its head again. As its body moved, some feathers fell off its body. Lillie noticed it and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Hoshino's wave, indicating that she had something to talk about later.

"I met and parted with Pokémon during the trip, and in the end only you were still with me..." Hoshino pondered for a moment, nodded gently, and responded with a smile: "I understand, let us investigate the rest.

We will notify you of any news as soon as possible, and you must be nearby anyway."

"Gu..."

The sniper tree owl nodded, then flapped its wings and flew away, but it seemed to be very laborious and the take-off speed was not fast at all.

After it left, Lillie looked a little sad. She put her hands on her chest and whispered: "Its body is dying. Maybe some of the injuries when it was young were not well healed. Now that it is older,

, finally..."

"There are no outsiders here, so you might as well speak in more detail."

"I'm afraid this sniper tree owl only has about a year or two left..." Lillie paused for a moment, looked at the feathers falling in the air, and continued: "Feathers fall off easily, and even the little bit of vitality is gone.

No, it’s obvious…”

"really……"

Hoshino saw something was wrong with the sniper tree owl last night. As a result, not only the trainer was about to die, but also the Pokémon. Even with ghost-type attributes, nothing could be changed in the end.

"Let's go, let's go to the hospital first to see the target of the investigation."

"Um."
