Prejudice

Chapter 79 Prejudice

When Haruka arrived at the Natsuki campsite.

At this moment, Xia Mu was holding the little blacksmith and shouting "Long live the blacksmith!"

"It's finally over!!"

The little blacksmith, tossed into the air, let out a silvery laugh, accompanied by his little slingshot bouncing around in the air.

It looks quite interesting.

Upon seeing this, the two little ones exchanged a glance and immediately sped up to rush towards Xia Mu.

"Meow~"

"despair!"

This is the first time they have been separated from Natsuki for so long since they became partners.

Seeing the intimate interaction between the little blacksmith and Xia Mu, the two children could no longer suppress their feelings.

I want a hug too!

Like long jumpers, the two little ones reached a certain distance.

He took a leap.

"Meow~"

"Tap~"

After leaping into Xia Mu's arms, the two little ones nestled on either side of Xia Mu's neck.

While rubbing against her frantically, she also made sweet, coquettish noises from her mouth and nose.

but.

Even under such circumstances, the Green Vine Snake still showed its calm and wise side.

At least.

She did not forget the little blacksmith who was still in the air.

While cuddling Xia Mu and acting coquettishly, the Green Vine Snake also used its vine whip to catch the little blacksmith in mid-air and put him on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Xia Mu felt relieved and hugged the two little ones tightly.

"Haha, you missed me, didn't you... "

Xia Mu nuzzled the two little ones on either side, and her previous fatigue vanished instantly upon smelling the fresh scent of Grass-type Pokémon on them.

Afterwards, Xia Mu held the two little ones and sat down near the tent.

At this time.

Seeing that Natsuki and the others had finished their interaction, Haruka also came over with breakfast.

"Let's eat something first..."

Upon hearing this, the two little ones seemed to finally realize that Xia Mu was still hungry.

But for a moment they found themselves longing for that warm embrace.

They exchanged a glance.

No one wanted to leave Xia Mu's arms.

Fortunately.

At this moment, the young blacksmith stepped forward.

After hearing Xiaoyao's call, the young blacksmith, who had been excited about finishing the hammer's reinforcement, finally felt hungry.

"Clang clang!"

With a little kick.

The young blacksmith snatched the bag directly from Xiaoyao's hand.

After wildly tearing open the tied plastic bag opening.

The young blacksmith took out bread and milk.

"Clang clang~"

The young blacksmith handed the food to Xia Mu as if presenting a treasure.

???

Upon witnessing this scene, Xiaoyao's expression was quite complex.

No?

You snatched it away just so you could hand it to Natsuki yourself?!

How did your relationship suddenly become so good?!

Although I am not Little Blacksmith's trainer, I and Natsuki met Little Blacksmith at the same time.

and.

Isn't this difference in attitude a bit too obvious?

Where's the Parthian bully I was promised?!

Xiaoyao had seen information about the blacksmith's family online.

The Great Blacksmith wielded his great hammer and launched an aerial attack on the Steel-Armored Raven.

Skilled blacksmiths attacked and slashed the commander in droves.

Even the little blacksmith, who looks like a crybaby, is a famous noise maker.

But now.

Looking at the extremely obedient little blacksmith in front of Xia Mu, and recalling the scene of the little blacksmith snatching the food from her hands just now, Xiao Yao felt heartbroken and didn't want to speak.

But the young blacksmith didn't care about any of that.

Upon seeing Natsuki accept the milk and bread, the young blacksmith's face broke into a bright smile.

"Clang clang~"

Then.

The little blacksmith wiggled his short legs and returned to the bag.

After taking out his share.

Arriving at the reinforced hammer, I laid it horizontally.

The young blacksmith leaped lightly and sat down on the edge of the tall hammer.

Taking a bite of bread, cheeks bulging, he patted his beloved hammer and glanced at his trainer not far away.

Then she wiggled her little feet again.

This moment.

The young blacksmith looked quite relaxed.

Seeing this, Xiaoyao suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Honestly, it's impossible to get angry at her..."

Shaking her head, Xiaoyao picked up the bag and took out a sandwich from it.

After sitting down next to Natsuki, Haruka looked at the rising sun in the distance and took a deep breath.

"The morning air is so fresh!"

"Yes, it's been a long time since I've seen the sunrise."

For Natsuki, who always sleeps until the sun is high in the sky, seeing the sunrise is indeed quite a rare occurrence.

Xia Mu tore off a piece of bread and fed it to the two little ones.

After seeing the amount of food in the bag and Haruka's actions.

Xia Mu guessed it.

This morning, not only myself and the little blacksmith, but also Xiaoyao and the two little ones probably didn't eat.

Under such circumstances.

Natsuki and Haruka enjoyed a beautiful morning, drinking milk and eating bread while taking in the lovely scenery.

of course.

If we don't mention that a little while later, Natsuki cried out "I'm hungry" again, asking Chef Slytherin to prepare a feast for himself, Golem, and May's Pokémon.

It was indeed a beautiful morning.

In short.

After a lively morning, Natsuki and Haruka returned to Snowflake City.

"Next up is intensive training at the ice rink!"

Although the weather is still hot, Pokémon's cutting-edge technology, which can even create snow-capped mountains underwater, is a testament to this.

Ski resorts and ice rinks in Snow City are operating normally.

Inside a large venue.

Xia Mu, wearing a thick cotton coat, looked at the three little ones in front of him.

"Not to mention the Snowflake Gym that's right next door, we might even encounter rivals in the future who create ice-covered surfaces."

Therefore, you must take today's special training seriously and not slack off. Do you understand?

"Meow!"

"despair!"

"Clang clang!"

The three little ones seemed to be very cooperative.

Then.

With one foot landing on the thick ice, Xin Ye Miao fell flat on her back.

"Meow, meow~"

Watching Shin-chan struggle to concentrate but always manage to slip towards its surroundings, Natsuki almost burst out laughing.

If it weren't for the Green Vine Snake and the Little Blacksmith in front of me...

Xia Mu might even suspect that he has traveled into the world of "Tom and Jerry".

What's with this Tom Cat-like way of falling?

Compared to Shin-Ye-Miao, who couldn't even stand steadily, Qing-Teng-She mastered the trick in an instant.

Quickly glide, jump, spin...

In a short time.

Like a figure skater, the Green Vine Snake became the most dazzling star on the field.

but.

This was also within Xia Mu's expectations.

The Pokémon Snivy is capable of running fast on land and even gliding on grass.

As for the last little blacksmith.

She had barely taken a couple of steps with the hammer, and hadn't even stepped onto the ice, when the staff who had been observing the area stopped her.

"You can't bring a hammer in!"

"Clang?!"

The young blacksmith was shocked.

"No, if you hit the ice with your hammer, the ice will break!"

As Natsuki picked up the cat, she noticed the commotion.

"But you didn't write anything saying little blacksmiths weren't allowed in! You're rejecting large Pokémon!"

Xia Mu spoke with conviction.

"Besides, didn't that green onion duck over there take green onions inside too?!"

"Are you discriminating against my little blacksmith?!"

"No...that, this..."

+

Xia Mu's skillful use of moralistic rhetoric instantly made the staff swallow all their words.

However, special training is the most important thing.

Xia Mu decided to show mercy and give the other side a chance.

"Alright then, I'll make sure the young blacksmith keeps the hammer up without letting it fall. Is that alright?"

What should we do if Exiamu breaches its seal and doesn't mention how the hammer damaged the ice?

Faced with such a difficult customer, and looking at the longing expression on the young blacksmith's face as he gazed at the ice, one could see the stark contrast.

Should I really refuse this adorable Pokémon's request to ice skate?!

The staff eventually gave in.

"Okay! Just this once!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Mu immediately led the young blacksmith into the ice rink.

At the same time, Xia Mu looked at the young blacksmith with a serious expression.

"In short, none of the metal here can be touched, understand?!"

"Clang?"

Looking at the steel frame on the ceiling and then at Xia Mu's serious expression, the young blacksmith could only nod, though he was disappointed.

Then.

The young blacksmith carried a huge hammer, watching the humans and Pokémon gliding across the ice.

"Clang."

The young blacksmith wore a disdainful expression.

What's the point of this? You can't forge iron anyway.

A short while later.

"Guest, guest, I'll give you a refund. Can you leave with your Pokémon?"

Looking at the anxious staff in front of him, Xia Mu then glanced at the two little ones running wildly around the ice rink.

"Clang clang clang~"

"Meow hahaha~"

After learning to skate, the two mischievous kids used a sledgehammer as a spear and wreaked havoc on the ice rink.

Especially after seeing the humans and Pokémon hurriedly trying to escape, the two of them let out unrestrained, arrogant laughter. Natsuki remained silent for a moment.

"Let me make this clear first: the idea that Pokémon and their trainers are very similar is just a prejudice, and there's no scientific evidence to support it!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The staff nodded repeatedly.

A Padia bully, and a Dark-type grass cat.

I don't want to say what your background is.

But as long as you leave with your Pokémon, I'll believe you even if you claim to be a world champion.

but.

This perfunctory attitude aroused Xia Mu's dissatisfaction.

"No, if you do this, I'll have to say a few words to you, as..."

"Alright, let's go!"

Before Xia Mu could finish speaking, Xiao Yao, whose face was already flushed with embarrassment, grabbed Xia Mu and dragged him outside.

This left Xia Mu with no choice but to repeatedly shout that the three little ones had caught up.

They didn't even have time to get their skating money back.

Just now.

boom!

Xia Mu heard a loud noise coming from inside the venue.

Although I don't know what happened.

but.

"Hurry up!"

Xia Mu took the initiative, dragging Xiao Yao along, and joined the three little ones who rushed out the door.

They disappeared down the street in a flash.
