Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 213

 Chapter 213 Barley Beer, new in the pub (4k)

 The next morning.

 Naoki glanced at the calendar as usual after getting up. Today was August 13th, and on the word 13, there was a red circle drawn with a red pen.

That was the mark Naoki made more than a month ago when he was making wine.

 It represents that today is the day when beer is brewed.

Thinking of this, Zhi Shu, who was still a little sleepy, instantly became energetic.

He got up and left the bedroom, taking Babu Tubo and Gu Ledun to the living room.

 In the kitchen, my sister, Ai Guanwai, has already begun to prepare a delicious breakfast for everyone.

　　　Brother's nosy servant is cleaning up the place in the living room that was messed up by Pokémon such as Frostmilk.

The Motorized Lizard was lying in front of the fireplace, squinting his eyes lazily, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

Seeing this scene, Leden couldn't help but remind him: "Ah gah!"

Why did it look so much like a lazy pig before?

Hearing Gulton's voice, the Motorized Lizard woke up instantly. When it opened its eyes, it found that everyone was looking at it.

 “Quaao?”

Motor Lizard couldn't help but panic, thinking that he had done something wrong.

　　Naoki was speechless: "It's okay. It will take a while before we can eat. You can continue to sleep for a while."

The Motorized Lizard was relieved at this moment, but after being so frightened, it lost its sleepiness and simply shook its body and ran outside to breathe fresh air.

Morning pasture is always so relaxing.

 The breeze carries the faint fragrance of flowers and grass, and crystal clear water drops hang on the leaves of crops in the fields.

Hybrid Eevee walking, Olinio doing photosynthesis, the hard-working Three Bees, and the wild bird Pokémon standing on the roof, all of them give people a leisurely and lively feeling.

The Motorized Lizard liked it so much that he joined in and started running energetically on the green grass.

  In the living room.

 The Cream Fairy stood on the cupboard and watched her sister Ai Guanshi preparing breakfast.

  Babu Woodchuck jumped on the sofa, his furry body lazily wrapped in the soft sofa.

Sunlight shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Along with Babu's movements, a few thin floating hairs float in the air, which appear particularly clear under the light of the beam.

 Naoki: “…”

　　It seems like you need to feed more chicken soup to the furry Pokémon in the pasture.

He remembered that chicken soup has the effect of preventing hair loss and can also make Pokémon shiny and smooth.

Not only Naoki, but also his brother Ai Guanshi also noticed this scene.

It came over with a tool and cleaned up the loose hair that fell on the wooden floor.

Naoki was satisfied and sighed once again that he was worthy of being a famous housekeeper Pokémon!

Before breakfast was ready, Naoki opened the door to the cellar.

 The cellar was dark, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

Zhi Shu sniffed it carefully and could smell a hint of the unique aroma produced by the fermentation of hops and malt.

 “It's really done!”

With anticipation, Naoki went down the stairs to the cellar, came to the oak barrel closest to him, opened the valve, and the golden wine trickled out.

 Following it is the aroma of rich and mellow barley beer.

Zhi Shu shouted to Gulton who was guarding the entrance of the cellar: "Bring a cup!"

 “Ah gah!”

Huluton responded, quickly turned around and took a glass from the living room.

Zhi Shu reached out and took it, used it to catch a glass of beer, and then looked down, the information about the glass of beer appeared in his mind.

[Barley beer (B): Beer fermented from malt and hops, it is an indispensable part of the pub.

 Cooking effect: Drunk. After drinking, the Pokémon will enter a slightly tipsy state, which can bring a short period of tranquility to the Pokémon and allow them to relax body and mind. In this state, the recovery speed of injuries is accelerated.

If a Fighting-type Pokémon drinks it before a battle, some unexpected effects may occur.

˜Evaluation: A basic barley beer, easy to make, and a good choice for home travel. ]

"Drunk?" Naoki didn't expect such a simple effect, but if he thought about it carefully, it was normal.

 It can bring peace to Pokémon's minds and allow them to relax...

Perhaps those extremely tired Pokémon would like to have a drink like this.

However, what makes Naoki find it interesting is that beer seems to have a special effect on fighting Pokémon?

 If you drink it before a battle, will it make them perform a drunken fist in the battle?

By coincidence, he also has a Fighting-type Pokémon in his ranch!

 Zhi Shu looked up at Gu Ledun above.

 But after a short period of reflection, he gave up the idea of ​​trying it on Guluton.

 Because he was afraid that Guluton would get drunk and start tearing down the house.

It would be fine if it were a normal Pokémon, but Luton is a legendary Pokémon.

If it gets drunk and goes crazy, no one in the pasture can stop it.

 The beer was brewed, and Naoki was so happy that he immediately went up and told the news to the steward brother and sister who helped run the tavern.

“The effect of this beer can help Pokémon relieve fatigue and relax them. If an injured Pokémon drinks it, the injury will heal faster.”

“This way, we can add one more drink to the pub's menu in the future!”

 “Love?”

　　Hearing this magical effect, my sister's cute little face showed an expression of surprise.

Zhishu smiled and nodded. After finishing breakfast, he asked two carefree waiters to use their telekinesis to carry an oak barrel filled with beer to the back of the bar in the tavern.

In this way, if there is a Pokémon that wants to give it a try, the Avatar only needs to unscrew the valve and connect a cup.

Since this period of time, the Pokémon Tavern has been flourishing and being run by two caring butlers.

They not only serve as bartenders to entertain guests, but also prepare food for hungry guests.

 In addition to the milk and tree juice prepared by Naoki, they also specially prepare simple and easy-to-make sandwiches, cream-covered tree fruit snacks, and buttered popcorn made from corn for guests to choose from.

With their efforts and the word-of-mouth spread among the Pokémon in the town, this tavern, which was transformed from a dilapidated old house, has become an exclusive gathering place for Pokémon.

Although it deviates a bit from his original intention of creating this tavern, this seems to be good.

Zhi Shu usually doesn't disturb this group of Pokémon. Only when some Pokémon he has never seen before or is interested in visit, he will run over to watch and eavesdrop on their chat.

Today, in order to observe the effect of beer, Naoki came here specially when the pub was open.

 He ate nearly a dozen pieces of Chinese melon seed cakes, and stood behind the bar with his sister Ai Guanwai to entertain the guests.

Brother, who loves to be a waiter, stays aside and acts as a bartender, ready to serve the guests meals depending on the situation, or clean the floor and tabletops stained by the guests.

 At 6:30 pm, the pub officially opened for business. After a while, the two strange beasts of the Cree family, loyal guests of the tavern, came over.

They planned to order a glass of juice and milk as usual, but suddenly found that there was an extra drink in the pub today.

Quai Li couldn't help but ask: "Ni Ke?" (What is that? New tree juice?)

 Sister Ai Guanshi smiled and shook her head: "Oh!" (No, it's beer that can relieve fatigue!)

 “Ni Ke?!” Guai Li couldn't believe it. There is such a thing?

 Sister likes to ask the waiter: "Aye?" (Want a drink?)

 The two monsters looked at each other, and finally could not resist the curiosity in their hearts, and ordered two drinks with the money that Keri specially gave them.

Seeing this, Naoki hilariously took two full glasses of beer and gave them to them.

Two strange forces were sitting at the dining table, looking down at the golden liquid in the glass, feeling that it smelled a little weird.

They hesitated a little, but finally lowered their heads and took a sip.

 As the beer entered his stomach, the cheeks of the two strange forces immediately turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

 They successfully entered a tipsy state.

 The first time I experienced the strange power of being tipsy, I felt as if I was stepping on clouds. My whole body felt light and I no longer felt any worries or fatigue.

Although this drink tastes a little strange, it tastes surprisingly good!

The two monsters raised their glasses and drank the beer in one gulp, then sat on the chairs and burped, shaking their heads and looking at the faces of the brothers opposite.

No one spoke, they just felt the strange atmosphere quietly.

 Naoki: “…”

I don't know if it's because the beer's effect is too overbearing, or because the two monsters' alcohol power is very weak.

So when the Carnival Dance Duck arrived, she saw her sitting on a chair and swaying her body, with an expression on her face as if she had been charmed by Miss Mi Lip's charming voice.

This made the carnival duck stunned for a moment, and it asked strangely: "Ga?" (What happened?)

 Sister Cui Shi's face showed a gentle smile: "Aye." (They drank beer.)

 Beer...no wonder!

 Carnival Duck has heard of this drink, which is for humans. It tastes a bit strange and he doesn't like it.

 Therefore, he rejected the recommendation of his sister, who was a carefree waiter, and ordered a glass of tree juice as usual, sitting there and drinking it slowly.

 As time goes by, many more Pokémon guests arrive here one after another.

Most of them are Pokémon in the town, and some are wandering Pokémon who heard the news and came to eat and drink.

 There are a pair of rats, electric petrels, Pikachu...

The empty seats in the tavern are gradually being filled, and the Pokémon are chatting. The atmosphere here seems very lively.

 The two brothers and sisters looked at this scene happily.

Zhi Shu felt very sorry in his heart.

 Because these Pokémon thought the smell of beer smelled weird, he couldn't sell a single beer after the strange power.

At this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open.

A meow with a sad face and a gold coin on his head walked in from the door.

 Naoki recognized it.

I heard from Carnival Langwuya that this is a meow that wanders in Ziqin Town and makes a living by opening treasure boxes in the town.

It is said that a trainer once wanted to tame it, but was rejected by this cat because it said that it liked the life of opening treasure boxes every day.

 Opening treasure chests means digging through trash cans.

Zhishu has seen this meow several times before, and it has always been cheerful and lively.

　Why did you show such an expression today?

Meow Meow walked to the bar with a sad face, ready to order a glass of juice and milk as before.

It feels that only fragrant and sweet milk can soothe its wounded heart.

However, suddenly, the gentle voice of my sister Ai Guanshi sounded from in front of it: "Ai eh?" (There is a new product in the pub today! It is a magical beer that can help you relax your body and soothe your mind. You have to try it. Try it?)

Hearing this, Miaomiao was stunned for a moment.

It then thought that its wounded heart really seemed to need soothing.

So Meow Meow nodded, not in the mood to chat with the caretaker, and just said: "Meow Meow." (Then have a cup of Meow Meow.)

 It placed a 300-face-value coin on the bar. It was a treasure that Meow Meow had found using the Treasure Gathering Skill. It was round and he liked it very much.

Seeing that another customer finally ordered beer, my sister, who was a waiter, was very happy. She immediately poured a large glass for it and handed it to her brother to put on the table.

Meowth sat on an empty seat, sighed heavily, then picked up the cup and took a sip of beer.

Hearing its sigh, the fire brigade's Carnival Duck turned his head and looked over: "Gah?" (What happened today?)

Seeing someone asking, Meow Meow immediately said sadly: "Meow..." (I'm so stupid, really, I just knew that the elegant cat from a wealthy family wouldn't like me, but I still couldn't help but confess to it. White meow...)

　　Carnival Dancing Duck: “…”

Meow's eyes suddenly lit up: "Meow!" (What a beautiful and elegant cat that is, meow! It is so beautiful, so noble and elegant, meow! The first time I saw it, I knew, my Love has arrived!)

 Then, Meow's expression became dazed and depressed: "Meow..." (But it rejected my confession, and I lost my love Meow again...)

 Speaking, Miaomiao took another sip of beer.

It was in a daze, its face was red, and it successfully entered a state of tipsy.

　　Zhi Shu was surprised when he heard Miaomiao's words.

 Hey guys, this is still a love cat!

 Drunk Miaomiao seemed to have forgotten that he had just fallen out of love.

It just feels light and floating all over, as if it is in the clouds, wrapped in soft and white clouds, as if time has stood still.

 “Meow!” (So comfortable, meow!)

Seeing this scene, the other Pokémon were shocked. What happened to this meow?

　　A moment ago, he was still feeling sad because of his broken love, but now he showed this expression.

Naoki couldn't help but explain aloud: "This is the effect of beer. It can help Pokémon temporarily forget sad things, relax body and mind and relieve fatigue. After drinking it, just go home and have a good sleep, etc. Wake up tomorrow and everything will be fine.”

 Hearing this, all the Pokémon looked surprised.

Beer actually has this effect?

　　The faces of several Pokémon that had not planned to drink showed expressions of eagerness to try.

Seeing this, Naoki raised his eyebrows: "Is it possible that you have also fallen out of love?"

 “Pikachu!”

 “Zhizhizhi!”

 A group of Pokémon shook their heads quickly, they didn't!

　　Many Pokémon covered their mouths and snickered, and for a while, the tavern was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Zhi Shu was chatting with them like this, but at this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open again.

It was already dark at this time, and Naoki thought it was Miss Junsha who was patrolling the mountains with a dog, but he never thought that as soon as he raised his head, he saw a large group of unexpected figures.

 Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Pikachu, Meowth…

The Pokémon that opened the door is a Gothaduck that evolved from a Gothaduck.

Seeing so many Pokémon, Naoki had a look of astonishment on his face.

The group of Pokémon also saw him, but the next second, they all moved out of the way.

Behind them, a creature with a humanoid body and the characteristics of a feline Pokémon was standing in the darkness, looking over calmly with its emotionless eyes.
