Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 183

Chapter 183 Building a new home

 June 28, 198 in the Alliance Calendar.

With the completion of the new residence, Naoki's first summer in the Pokémon world has officially come to an end.

 This morning, Keri, who had been busy for nearly two months, officially handed over the new house to Naoki.

 She directed Guai Li and the old builder to move tools and excess building materials to the truck, and then took Naoki to visit the house.

 Pushing the door open, what appeared in front of Naoki was a large living room.

It's just that there is no furniture in the house at this time, and the whole house looks very empty.

Kelly led the way and introduced:

“This is the living room. At your request, we installed a new fireplace here. When the fireplace is lit in winter, the whole house will be warmed up.”

Following her gaze, Naoki saw a brand new fireplace with a piece of transparent glass installed on the wall opposite the living room.

 Keli: "But you have to prepare enough compressed firewood, which is the fuel for the fireplace."

 A smile appeared on her face: "If you need it, I can sell it in my store!"

　　Naoki: "..." Sure enough, Keli is worthy of being Keli, and she never forgets to promote her own goods.

 But he really needs it.

"Okay, I'll go back and have a look." Zhishu said.

“However, in addition to this method, you can also use the power of Pokémon.” Cree continued: “If you have Pokémon like lava bugs, you can put them in the fireplace.”

“Lava worms will use warm fireplaces as nests and live there. At the same time, they will also release heat from their bodies, which can effectively replace the role of firewood.”

 “Lava bugs?” Naoki thanked Keli and kept this in mind.

However, most of the habitats of Pokémon like lava bugs are volcanic areas with hot temperatures, and it is difficult to see them in other places.

And there seems to be no such Pokémon inhabiting the Padia region, which means that if you want to find them, you have to go to other areas.

 It's just that Naoki has no plans to go to other areas at the moment.

Because the season is about to change, he has to prepare in advance to buy some autumn crop seeds and plant them.

And he also had to buy a bunch of wooden barrels. The hops he stored in the utility room could not wait to be turned into beer.

“There are five rooms on the first floor.” After visiting the living room, Keri took Naoki to visit other places: “The master bedroom is on the right side of the living room, the open kitchen and dining room are on the left, and the bathroom is on the far left.”

 Speaking, she opened the door so that Naoki could see what was going on inside.

“You can buy a bathtub that you like in the future.” Keli said: “This way after you finish your farm work every day, you can take a comfortable bath in it to relieve physical and mental fatigue.”

 Zhi Shu nodded, expressing that he was very satisfied.

Seeing this, Keri pursed her lips and chuckled, and took him up the stairs to the second floor: "The second floor has more rooms, there are five in total, a guest bedroom for entertaining guests, a study room for working and reading, and a children's room." If you have a child in the future, you can let him live here."

 Child... It's too early, he hasn't even thought about it, Naoki thought to himself.

 After all, he was only twenty years old, and he didn't even know if he could find a marriage partner.

However, there is no rush in this matter, and he does not plan to get married now. It all depends on fate!

If he can't find the right one, then it's not a problem for him to be single for the rest of his life.

The two walked through the small hall upstairs, and Keri opened the door to the remaining two rooms: "Here are two empty rooms. You can decorate them how you like according to your own preferences and needs."

Zhi Shu nodded to express his understanding, and then asked what he was most concerned about: "Where is the cellar?"

 Keli: “The entrance to the cellar is on the first floor.”

The two of them came downstairs, and Naoki finally saw the entrance to the cellar in the southwest corner of the living room.    That is a small wooden door.

 Keli opened the door, and what she saw was a staircase leading down. The cellar was very dark, and it was almost impossible to see where to go.

“The cellar light is on the wall to the right of the stairs.” Kelly turned on the switch, and with a crisp sound, the retro wall lamps lit up.

 Suddenly, a warm orange light filled the entire space, illuminating the entire cellar.

 “The temperature here is suitable, very suitable for making wine!” Keri said, with a smile on her face that made Naoki feel familiar.

Zhi Shu: "...I understand. I will buy barrels from you later."

He has saved a lot of money over the past month and can buy everything in one go.

 Kerri: “I'll give you some discount.”

 After the introduction to the room, Kelly was ready to leave.

 The two of them saw outside. Before getting in the car, Keri said, "I will be in the store in the afternoon. If you need it, you can go to me at any time."

 “Okay.” Naoki was thinking about when to move things there.

 After that, he plans to transform the old house into a Pokémon tavern, but he still needs to make some preparations in advance.

After thinking for a while, Naoki asked: "By the way, Kelly, do you sell bar tables there?"

Hearing this, Keri was slightly startled: "Bar counter?"

"That's it." Naoki explained: "I'm going to transform the old house into... a tavern for Pokémon gatherings."

"Tavern? This is simple." Keri didn't think much about it. She just thought he wanted the Pokémon to play house: "When you go to the store in the afternoon and finish picking out the furniture, I'll put it in I'll send you the things together.”

 Zhi Shu nodded: "Okay."

 Kelly drove away in the van.

 Zhi Shu went there with several Pokémon who were looking forward to the new house.

"This will be our new home from now on." Naoki said with a smile: "How is it? It's much bigger than before, right?"

 “Gah!” The Motorized Lizard nodded repeatedly.

Frost Milk Fairy and Butubo began to explore the room, but Guluton didn't look too surprised.

The Frost Milk Fairy was too small and had a hard time climbing the stairs, so Butubo took it upstairs.

Looking at the two little guys disappearing at the top of the stairs, Naoki also started to get busy.

He opened every window in the room to allow the air in the room to circulate, and picked up the mop and mopped it again, cleaning the inside and outside of the new home.

After everything was done, the time came to twelve noon.

 Zhi Shu was so tired that her back ached. When she got back to the old house, she lay down on the bed.

Looking at it this way, it's not a good thing if the room is too big. Cleaning it is too tiring and one person can't handle it.

 Looking at the ceiling above, Naoki's mind flashed to the figures of the pair of nurturing siblings.

So far, nearly two months have passed since that day. I don't know if they have grown up now, what they have become, and whether they still remember him as a person who they met once.
