Chapter 17

【Little Thief Cat Nami: Damn it! Apricot, you're being too damn shady! (Pam is angry)】

【Nakano Miku: When can I check in for a study-boosting buff? Dad recently got obsessed and hired tutors for us. Sigh! (Pam is exhausted)】

Hm?

Tutors?

Has Uesugi Fengtailang appeared?

Lu Shu, peeking at the screen, was slightly stunned; this shouldn't be happening!

This doesn't fit the trope of a power-fantasy novel.

It's going to flop, hey!

【Lu Shu: Tutor, what grade are you in?】

【Nakano Miku: You're online? Have you reached Inazuma City yet? I'm just starting my second year of high school.】

【Lu Shu: Yeah, rode a pig all night, just saved a young girl, and am temporarily staying at her place. What's your tutor's name?】

【Himeko: Ahem, rode a pig? (Pam expresses interest)】

When the Astral Express travels through the starry sky, there is no sense of time, but they have their own biological clocks.

【Little Thief Cat Nami: The key point is 'young girl'; young girl, don't tell me you were lust-struck? (Pam expresses suspicion)】

【Nakano Miku: The new teacher is named Kobune Sumi; why do you ask?】

【Lu Shu: Oh, nothing!】

See, the male lead has appeared; this really doesn't fit the power-fantasy trope.

Kobune Sumi?

A name I've never heard!

Not one of the five sisters will escape; they are all my wings.

【Group member 'Lu Shu' Check-in Successful.】

【Congratulations to group member 'Lu Shu' for obtaining 888 Credit Points.】

Holy crap!

Is this newbie this lucky?

Luck eats spear!

<(￣▽￣)

【Busujima Saeko: Your style is indeed different from ours. (Pam is greatly shocked)】

【Xi Xi Luona: Newbie, do you want a Pokémon Egg? It's fresh, about to hatch. There's a certain chance it could yield a Pseudo-Legendary!】

Hand over all the Credit Points to the great Xi Xi Luona!

【Little Thief Cat Nami: You reek of a shady merchant; something's off with you! (Pam pricks up its ears alertly)】

【Xi Xi Luona: What words are those? What kind of talk is that?】

At the same time, a photo was posted in the group chat.

They were all eggs of different colors and varying patterns!

However, Lu Shu instantly realized; these damn things seemed to be all eggs from the Big Three!

Moreover, eggs from Generation One to Generation Eight were all mixed together.

What a scammer.

If one accidentally picks a Generation Two egg, there'll be no place to cry.

【Hydro God Furina: If you aren't a shady merchant, then who is? Also, where's the Water-type Pokémon you promised to compensate me with yesterday?】

【Hydro God Furina: Have you reached Inazuma City? Do you have a place to stay? Have you eaten? @Lu Shu.】

As soon as FuFu came online, she cared about whether I was hungry!

Boo-hoo~

So touched~

(＞n＜).

014: Draw for Squirtle or take a gamble? Do you want to fill Angewomon's body with canned knowledge?

Palais Mermonia.

Watching Lady Furina savor the cake pie bite by bite, Neuvillette the Otter was somewhat perplexed.

Why happy one moment, angry the next?

That expression was just like the weather in Fontaine.

Can't figure it out!

Could it be because 'Duke Tang Mu' got lost?

……

「Future Rich Ladies' Health Preservation Group」

Boo-hoo~

So touched.

FuFu, you've worked hard these past 500 years.

Hugs.

(＞n＜)

【Lu Shu: Thank you for the Hydro God my lord's concern; I've already found a foothold and had breakfast, and was just about to take a nap.】

【Hydro God Furina: That's good (Pam smiles).】

Phew~

Having slept poorly all night, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

【Hydro Archon Furina: Just call me Furina; calling me Fufu is fine too. There's no need for 'Lord Hydro Archon' or anything like that...】

What Hydro Archon or not Hydro Archon?

In the group chat, let alone someone like her who is only a half-simulated god.

Even if the actual Seven Gods came, they wouldn't be worth looking at.

As for the ID?

That was her last stand.

【Group member 'Hydro Archon Furina' has successfully checked in.】

【Congratulations to group member 'Hydro Archon Furina' for obtaining 233 credit points.】

Ahaha?

That's not bad either.

【Xi Xi Luona: My dear Fufu, how about a buy-one-get-one-free deal? For just another 500 credit points, you can own another fire-type Pokémon that isn't afraid of water. It's perfect, since your place deals with elemental reactions. (Pam instantly perked up)】

【Little Thief Cat Nami: Tsk, tsk, where's your shame, Xi Xi Luona? Where's your shame? (Even Pam couldn't bear to watch)】

【Mu Hai Xingzi: Hmph, look at how you changed your tune the moment you saw Fufu check in for 233 credit points. What a shady merchant, what a shady merchant!】

【Busujima Saeko: Hmph!】

【Xi Xi Luona: I'm broken down, I'm truly broken down. (Eggplant limited edition emoji)】

【Xi Xi Luona: I warn you all not to speak recklessly; I'll sue you for defamation, do you hear me? I'll sue you for defamation! Himeko, they are defaming me... (Brother Tai limited edition emoji)】

【Hydro Archon Furina: I still have the matter of you scamming me with that Armored Mole recorded in my little notebook. (Pam looked on with contempt)】

【Hydro Archon Furina: Do you know or not how much manpower and material resources I have mobilized to catch Duke Tang Mu? An invasive species will destroy the ecological environment of Fontaine!】

【Hydro Archon Furina: It's already good enough that I haven't demanded extra compensation from you.】

【Lu Shu: Especially since it's a 'rat' with extremely high reproductive capabilities.】

Duke Tang Mu?

That Armored Mole?

Thanks, Teacher Tang Mu.

【Xi Xi Luona: Hey, you're wronging me here, dear. I really can't compensate you with two; I'd be losing money.】

She didn't understand either how a Pokémon could betray its Trainer and run away on its own.

Logically, this shouldn't happen.

Could it be acclimatization issues in another world?

That doesn't seem right either.

Shouldn't it be "World Harmony"?
