Naz, who wants to become an actress

Chapter 57 Naz, who wants to become an actress

Goldenrod City, the largest and busiest city in the Kanto region, is named for its shimmering, golden color, which attracts countless people to come and develop their careers.

Saffron Gym, one of the most famous gyms in the Kanto region. Of course... its fame doesn't come from its high challenge level, but rather from the fact that it's not only a gym but also a club for psychic abilities!

The owner of this psychic club is none other than Sabrina, the gym leader of the Goldenrod Gym, who is known as the psychic girl!

Although this is a name from many years ago, and she rarely appears after becoming an adult, even having Alakazam take her place in gym challenges, various terrifying rumors about her continue to increase...

At this moment, on the roof of the Goldenrod Gym, in a room filled with dolls and toys, a tall girl with long gray hair, wearing only a thin black lace-trimmed bra, lies expressionlessly on the bed, scrolling through her Rotom phone.

"Has it been shipped? It should arrive around 4 PM... I hope it won't disappoint me."

The girl slowly opened her beautiful eyes. She had just used her ability to vaguely foresee the future. In the past, she could clearly confirm the delivery time, but not now.

She knew the reason, which is why she used her unstable superpowers to find this online store selling strange fruits on Salted Fish King...

She needed to wait a while longer. She put down her Rotom phone, then sat up in bed, grabbed a doll from beside her, and hugged it tightly, burying her delicate, aloof face in its flesh.

No matter how you look at her, she seems like just a slightly frail young lady, but if anyone else were here, they would definitely be scared away after recognizing her.

Because she is the gym leader of this gym, the terrifying girl who is rumored to turn any trainer who defeats her into a doll... Sabrina!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Mingyou has arrived at the North City Center to continue her stall life today, but she is somewhat absent-minded. She feels inexplicably uneasy about Nazi's "threatening" message.

"Superpower girl..."

He searched online for rumors about Sabrina, and without exception, there was almost no positive news. Trainers were so afraid of Sabrina that they completely ignored her beauty.

It is said that any trainer who challenges Sabrina and is defeated will be turned into a doll and become the other trainer's collection. As for when they will be released, it all depends on their mood, and they may be forgotten forever.

There are even rumors online that Naz didn't even spare her own biological parents...

"This is a bit ridiculous. Are superpowered people really that terrifying? Speaking of which, I eat peaches every day to boost my mental power. Could I become a superpowered person too...? Or maybe I'm just wishful thinking."

Just as Mingyou was surprised by this, Xiaozhao's voice suddenly came from not far away!

Good morning!

"Good morning! I thought you had already left today. Why are you only coming now?"

Mingyou responded with a smile, explaining that she had been delayed for a while today while waiting for the courier to pick up the package.

Xiao Zhao walked to the stall, patted the head of the horned deer, and replied, "Many students have finished the first phase of the activities, so things are a bit more relaxed. I just went to Baoban Square with Danyu and the others to see the Baoban statues."

"I see. Thank you for your hard work."

"You're the one who's having a tough time, sitting here in the sun all day. Look how much darker your skin has become."

"Ha ha……"

"Why did you look so worried just now? Did you run into some trouble?"

"Forehead……"

After a moment's thought, Mingyou told her what had happened. Although he wasn't afraid of Nazi's threats, the rumors circulating online still made him a little panicked.

After hearing all this, Xiao Zhao smiled gently, then earnestly raised her little fist and said, "It's okay, I'll protect you if there's any danger!"

"ha?"

"Don't let my appearance fool you. Even a Steelix, I can easily lift and swing with one hand. In the wild, I always battle Pokémon by myself!"

"You're more into people..."

Seeing Xiao Zhao say these things so seriously, Mingyou just thought the other person was joking. Swing a Steelix with one hand? Tear a Pokémon apart with your bare hands? Are you a complete newbie?

However, the topic was quickly turned over. Xiao Zhao came to pick up the fruit she was going to sell today. Although she knew that these fruits were not easy to sell recently, she thought that maybe she could still sell them.

While taking the fruits that Mingyou had counted, she suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Mingyou, the administrator recently contacted me to ask about you. He seems to want to know the origin of these move-learning fruits."

"Um?"

Mingyou frowned slightly. He had been wondering why things were so lively on his side lately, but there was no news from the administrator. It turned out that they didn't want to come directly to him.

Did you tell him?

"I only said that I work for you, and I know nothing else, because I really don't know anything."

Xiao Zhao responded honestly, but there were still some things she didn't say.

That is because Mingyou's business has been booming recently, which has caused dissatisfaction among some people in Beishang Township. Some people even went to the administrator to demand an explanation, asking why an outsider was given a stall to steal their business.

She overheard these things by chance, but she couldn't say them directly to avoid causing a conflict of interest between Mingyou and some people in Beishang Township. The result would definitely be that Mingyou would be driven away, and she didn't want to see that happen.

Moreover, she was also from out of town. After losing her memory, she was taken in by Danyu and her family. However, some people in Beishang Township also took good care of her.

However, during the initial period after arriving, I did experience some cold treatment, but I always felt that I had experienced something similar before, being driven out of the village, so I quickly adapted and knew how to deal with it.

So she picked up the fruit, lowered her voice, and said seriously, "Don't get into conflicts with others. If you have any trouble, tell me, and I'll handle it!"

"..."

Mingyou did not respond immediately, but watched Xiaozhao leave and fell into deep thought. She felt that there was something more to what the other party said, especially since the administrator had just been mentioned.

"...Is someone jealous?"

He had been worried about something for a long time, and it felt like it was finally coming. But it didn't matter; the manor was there, and everyone was welcome to come and visit.

If you'd like, you're welcome to come to my Mickey Mouse Clubhouse anytime. You can play until you're tired, then just go to sleep—it's all fine...

……

That evening, as Mingyou was preparing to pack up and go home, her Rotom phone suddenly sent a message indicating that the buyer had received the goods.

"Finally received the goods..."

Meanwhile, in Golden City, Naza had already received the plump peaches she had bought. Even she couldn't help but show a hint of surprise when she saw how juicy the peaches were.

"It's...it's really big, but it doesn't matter. It won't make me fat anyway. The important thing is whether it works!"

She didn't even need to use her hands to pick it up; she just glanced at it, and the peach flew right in front of her, its skin peeling off automatically to reveal the translucent flesh. The rich aroma of the fruit made her eyes light up.

At least visually, it's acceptable; the important thing is the effect. However, her superpowers cannot detect anything special from the peach.

"Perhaps this is the last resort..."

Instead of eating the peach immediately, Nazja glanced at her Rotom phone, where her parents had sent her messages, all expressing concern for her condition.

Although she was always known as the scariest girl, that's all in the past. Ever since she was amused by a challenger using Haunter during a gym battle and regained her humanity, she has decided to live a new life of her own.

She wants to...become an actress!
