Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 179

 Chapter 179 The first guest in the tavern (4000)

Today's plan was disrupted by the sudden arrival of the nine-tailed fish. Naoki glanced at the time and felt that he would be too late to participate in the fishing competition.

So he first used the video phone to inform Mayor Thomas that he could not attend, and then began to deal with the matter of the Nine Tails.

Jiu Tai raised his four legs and followed in. The nine big golden fluffy tails behind it swayed slightly, looking like a dream and not quite real.

Behind it, Pokémon such as Motorized Lizard, Gulton, Kuailon, and Frost Milk Fairy also gathered around, looking at this mysterious Pokémon curiously.

 “What do I need to do?” Kyuubi asked.

 According to its understanding, you need to pay to go to such human-run restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and the like.

money…

 It doesn't seem to be.

This made Kyuubi feel a little embarrassed, and it began to think about how to get money.

 Naoki understood what the nine tails meant.

 According to his original plan, the tavern would not charge a fee.

Of course, if Pokémon Dream pays, he will be happy to accept it, whether it is a tree fruit, an ordinary stone, or a flower.

Judging from the illusion that this nine-tailed creature just displayed, it must be very powerful.

 Since it can telepathize, he doesn't need to eat translation melon seeds.

Zhi Shu thought for a while and said thoughtfully: "No, you just need to wait for a while."

Jiuwei breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Hearing this, Naoki didn't say much, but turned around and started counting the ingredients in the refrigerator.

 The steps to make that dessert are a bit complicated and require ingredients such as cream, cake, and fruit from Frosty Milk Fairy.

 Fortunately, he hasn't made many cakes during this time and there are plenty of ingredients in the refrigerator.

Placing the things he needed on the kitchen table, Naoki looked back and saw Kyuubi squatting on the ground, waiting.

Looking at this scene, Naoki couldn't help but think to himself: "It's quite in line with the business style of the tavern."

 He began to imagine what it would be like when the tavern was open.

The kitchen table turned into a bar, and the wooden floor at the entrance was covered with a red carpet. There was a blazing flame in the fireplace, and the room was warm. Several wild Pokémon were drinking and playing in the tavern.

And he turned into a bartender wearing a suit, vest and white shirt, wiping the glass while looking at the lively scene in front of him.

This is a typical medieval tavern style, but it is replaced with a Pokémon version, which does not make people feel inconsistent.

Realizing that he still had other things to do, Naoki gathered his mind and began to make the dish seriously.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Kyuubi squatted there patiently and waited.

 Its eyes looked at the humans working there, and the image of the baby bear and Meng Meng finding it not long ago came to mind.

They called themselves the Hero Expedition Team, saying that they were traveling around the world, and asked why it was sad.

After learning the reason, the two Pokémon showed sad expressions, but they were helpless about this matter and could only turn around and leave sadly.

Nine Tails watched their figures disappear. It was planning to fall asleep, but unexpectedly, a few days later, the two Pokémon suddenly returned.

They said excitedly that there was a magical Pokémon tavern in a distant place on the other side of the sea.

The best human in the world lives there. He has magical abilities and can help Pokémon fulfill various wishes.

Kyuubi still remembers the expression of the baby bear when he said these words.

 It said very excitedly and excitedly: "Naoki can help you! Go find him!"

 So, it came.

In order to see the face of his former friend again and hear her voice, Jiuwei, who could not cross the sea, crossed the mountains and lakes, arrived at the other end of the sea, and arrived at this magical tavern.

 Zhi Shu called the Cream Fairy to make fresh caramel cream, and then spread it evenly on the cake base.

With his movements, a cream cake exuding a sweet smell gradually took shape.

　　When the cake was first made, the kitchen utensils at home were not complete, so the cake made looked very crude.

Nowadays, both materials and kitchen utensils are readily available, which also makes the appearance of cakes even better.

 The last step is to cut the fruit into pieces and decorate it on top of the cake.

"alright!"

Zhi Shu looked down, and the information about this brand new cream cake immediately appeared in his mind.

[Cream Fruit Cake (Caramel Flavor) (B): A fruit cake made with hand-whipped cream from the Cream Fairy. The delicious cream and beautiful appearance make it more attractive.

Cooking effect: Sweet Dream lv2, after being given to Pokémon, it can temporarily forget worries and sorrows, have a sweet dream, see the people and things you want to see in the dream, and be blessed by the Dream God.

  Evaluation: A dessert that can bring happiness to humans and Pokémon. ]

“Sure enough, with the use of higher-grade ingredients, the level of the cooking has been improved accordingly.” Naoki thought to himself.

 He remembered that the grade of this thing seemed to be D- last time?

  Furthermore, the cooking effect has also been increased from lv1 to lv2, and the description has an additional word "blessed by the dream god".

The God of Dreams... A beautiful figure like a fairy appeared in Naoki's mind, as if she was wearing a pink gauze.

That is Cresselia, the goddess of dreams, the incarnation of the new moon, and the counterpoint of Darkrai.

There is a legend circulating in the city - it is said that if you sleep with Cresselia's feathers, you can avoid nightmares and have sweet dreams.

Just looking at the description, Naoki didn't know what the effect of Sweet Dream at level 2 was more than the effect at level 1.

 After a brief thought, he cut out a small piece of the cake and placed it in front of Kyuubi.

Smelling the aroma coming from the cake, Jiuwei was slightly startled, with a doubtful look in his bright red eyes.

 “Try it?” Zhi Shu said.

Jiuwei has no appetite and doesn't want to eat: “I just want to see her.”

 Naoki: "You can see her after eating this." Although it is in the form of a dream.

 Hearing this, Jiuwei did not speak again.

It lowered its head slightly in confusion, opened its mouth and ate the cake in front of it perfunctorily with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

 “Get some sleep!” Naoki was a little regretful that the cake did not have the effect of making people sleepy, and it would have to wait until the Pokémon falls asleep naturally before it can take effect.

Kyuubi was stunned for a moment.

 It suddenly thought of the question that the human asked it before.

 “Just want to see her? In any way?”

At this moment, Jiuwei suddenly realized what that method was.

As expected, what the other party said next confirmed his suspicion. "This cake can make you have a dream and see the person you want to see in your dream."

Kyuubi was silent.

 Are you dreaming? This is not a bad idea.

“Just sleep here, don't worry, it's safe here.” Zhi Shu said.

 “Thank you.”

Jiuwei thanked him, then turned around and came outside. Its eyes cast into the distance, and then it ran under the flames to the foot of a tree, where it lay down, closed its eyes, and began to fall asleep.

Kyuubi thought that he would not be able to sleep, but when he heard the muttering of the Pokémon not far away and felt the rhythm of the wind, he unconsciously felt a strong sense of sleepiness.

When it opened its eyes again, it was shocked to find that it had arrived at the ancient mansion in its memory, a distant era that was more than 1,500 years ago.

Jiuwei looked around and found that everything here was so familiar, and there was almost no change from the scene in his impression.

His long-quiet heart suddenly felt a little moved, as if a drop of clear water fell on the dusty floor.

  There was a faint hint of expectation in Kyuubi's heart.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and a girl wearing kimono and wooden shoes walked towards it with a smile.

“So you came here!” The girl said gently: “Isn't the sun shining? Come here and take a rest!”

 Then, Liangzi picked it up, walked to a big tree in the yard, sat under the shade and started reading.

Kyuubi didn't care about his inexplicable degeneration into Vulpix. It curled up in the girl's arms, and a distant name came to mind.

 Liangzi…

How long has it been since you heard this name? Kyuubi can no longer remember clearly.

 The afternoon sun was shining all over the ground, and the girl was sitting under a big tree reading a book, with Kyuubi quietly by her side.

 Is this a dream?

 But why is the scene in this dream so real? It can even smell the surrounding vegetation.

This thought flashed through Kyuubi's mind, but instead of thinking about it, it stood up from the ground and jumped on the girl's body.

The girl seemed to understand what it meant. She smiled and grabbed the two front paws of Nine Tails, put it on her lap, and scratched its nose with her hand:

 “Naughty boy! Okay, sleep here!”

　　　Kyuubi didn't want to sleep.

But the girl frowned: "Can't you sleep? This is not possible! We will go to the forest to collect herbs later. If you are not energetic, you will easily miss the herbs growing in the trees!"

 Hearing this, Kyuubi immediately closed his eyes.

The girl finally smiled: "That's right! Be good Vulpix!"

But at this moment, she realized something was wrong: "Eh? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

 “Woo!”

Kyuubi blinked quickly, pretending that he just had sand in his eyes.

“Did you get something in your eyes? Then let me blow it for you!” The girl came forward and blew it a few times: “Okay, it's gone now, you can sleep peacefully!”

Kyuubi nodded slightly, then closed his eyes and curled up on the girl's lap, quietly enjoying the atmosphere.

Even many years later, it will still think of this afternoon, this afternoon that is so warm that it feels comfortable.

In the pasture, Naoki has been observing Kyuubi's situation through the bubble above Kyuubi's head.

 He discovered that when Kyuubi cried in his dream, there was also a tear on Kyuubi's cheek in reality.

Several Pokémon also came over, and they also saw Nine-Tails' dream.

The Motorized Lizard showed a sad look on his face: "Gah aw..." (So sad...)

Zhi Shu had not finished the bowl of melon seeds he had eaten in the morning, so he naturally understood what the Motorized Lizard said.

As a companion who has lived together for a long time, Naoki understands what the Motorized Lizard means even without the need to explain.

 “Indeed, but there is nothing we can do about it!” he said.

 “Ah gah?” (What does it mean?)

Seeing several Pokémon looking over at the same time, Naoki continued:

“Because the lifespans of different species are different! Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature, and everything in the world will have such a day, it's just a matter of sooner or later.”

Kuailong quickly asked: "Ouch?" (Will Naoki die one day?)

 Hearing Kuailong's words, a group of Pokémon's heads drooped.

 “Gala…” (I don't want Naoki to die…)

Hurton looked frightened. Although it came from the future, it was not too far away in the future.

It is impossible to imagine that day...

As far as he knows, human beings are very fragile, and their lives are also very short. Some can only live a few years or decades, and only a small number can live for hundreds of years.

what to do? I'm so scared. What if Naoki is like those short-lived ghosts and dies tomorrow?

 The more Leden thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and finally he asked directly: "Ah gah?!" (Naoki, how long can you live? It can't be only a dozen years, right?)

Hearing this, Zhi Shu's head was full of black lines: “How can anyone curse someone to death like this?!”

So Luton realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he covered his mouth.

 Zhishu knew what they were thinking, because seeing what happened to Kyuubi was so emotional.

After thinking for a moment, he said with fighting spirit: "Don't be afraid, even if it's for you, I will try to live to be two hundred years old!"

Kuailong broke the casserole and asked: "Ouch?" (What about after two hundred years old?)

 The rest of the Pokémon also wanted to know the answer to this question, and quickly looked over eagerly.

Naoki coughed twice and said, "Maybe it will become a Pokémon! I once heard people say that some Pokémon are transformed after human beings die. I wonder if you have ever seen Pokémon like Gengar. Kemeng.”

He remembered that he had watched a Pokémon short animation in his previous life, and one of the episodes was titled "Am I Becoming a Gengar?" 》

The heroine of that episode turned into a Gengar while staying in school, and got rid of her social fear with the help of another Gengar.

Later on, sharp-eyed viewers discovered that the Gengar who helped the heroine was probably the heroine's sister.

 Because its smile, the pendant of the mobile phone, etc. are all subtle hints.

 Because of this, some people speculate that Gengar may also be a Pokémon transformed after the death of a human.

Although this is just an urban legend with little authenticity, in this world, nothing is surprising.

“So, as long as you still remember me and don't stop thinking about me, a miracle may happen. If I become Gengar, I will find you no matter where you are.”

Zhishu smiled and reached out to touch the heads of the many Pokémon in front of him: "When the time comes, don't recognize me!"

 After all, the fact that he can travel here is a miracle in itself.

Although there is no logic in this statement, the naive Pokémon believed it.

Definitely not! No matter what Naoki looks like, they will recognize it!
