Chapter 9

【Little Thief Cat Nami: Damn! Kikyo, you're way too shady! (Paimon is angry)】

【Nakano Miku: When can we sign in for a study-boosting buff? Dad's been obsessed lately and hired tutors for us. Sigh! (Paimon is exhausted)】

Hmm?

A tutor?

Has Uesugi Fengtailou appeared?

Lu Shu, who was peeking at the screen, blinked in slight surprise. That shouldn't be right!

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

It would be a total flop, I tell you.

【Lu Shu: Tutor, how old are you?】

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

【Lu Shu: Yep, rode a pig all night, just saved a young lady, and I'm staying at her place for now. What's your tutor's name?】

【Himeko: Ahem, riding a pig? (Paimon shows interest)】

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

【Little Thief Cat Nami: The key point is "young lady," young lady. You didn't get carried away by her looks, did you? (Paimon is suspicious)】

【Nakano Miku: The new teacher is called Funakoshi Kasumi. What's up?】

【Lu Shu: Oh, nothing!】

I said the male lead had appeared; this doesn't fit the power fantasy formula, does it?

Funakoshi Kasumi?

Never heard that name!

None of the five sisters can escape; they are all my wings.

【Group member 'Lu Shu' has successfully signed in.】

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

Holy crap!

Is the newbie this lucky?

Eat the spear!

<(￣▽￣)

【Musashido Yako: Your style is indeed different from ours. (Paimon is greatly shocked)】

【Cynthia: Newcomer, do you want any Pokémon eggs? Fresh ones, about to hatch. There's a chance you might get a pseudo-legendary!】

Hand over all your Credit Points to the great Cynthia!

【Little Thief Cat Nami: You reek of a scammer; something's off about you! (Paimon's ears perk up alertly)】

【Cynthia: What kind of talk is that?】

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

It was full of eggs of different colors and patterns!

However, Lu Shu instantly realized that these damn things were all Starter Pokémon eggs!

Moreover, eggs from the first generation to the eighth generation were all mixed together.

What a scammer.

If you happen to pick one from the second generation, you'll have nowhere to cry.

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

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

As soon as Fu-fu came online, she was worried about whether I was hungry!

Boo hoo~

So moved~

(＞n＜).

014: Draw a Squirtle or take a gamble? Want to fill a Ladybird's body with canned knowledge?

Court of Fontaine.

Watching Lady Furina taking small bites of her cake pie, Neuvillette was somewhat puzzled.

Why is she happy one moment and angry the next?

Her expressions are just like the weather in Fontaine.

I don't get it!

Could it be because of the missing Duke Tom?

……

"Future Rich Ladies' Wellness Group"

Boo hoo~

So touching.

Fu-fu, you've worked hard for these 500 years.

Hugs.

(＞n＜)

【Lu Shu: Thank you for your concern, my lord Hydro Archon. I've already found a place to stay and had breakfast, and I'm just about to take a nap.】

【Hydro Archon Furina: That's good (Paimon smiles).】

Phew~

After a sleepless night, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[Hydro Archon Furina: Just call me Furina, or even Fufu is fine. "My Lord Hydro Archon"... is unnecessary.]

What Hydro Archon or not?

In this group chat, let alone her, a mere half-god.

Even if the true Seven Archons arrived, they wouldn't be worth a glance.

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 receiving 233 Credit Points.]

Ahaha?

Not bad, I suppose.

[Cynthia: My dear Fufu, how about buy one get one free? For just 500 more Credit Points, you can own another Fire-type Pokémon that fears no water. Perfect, since you guys have Elemental Reactions over there. (Pam instantly perked up)]

[Little Thief Cat Nami: Tsk, tsk, where's your shame, Cynthia? Where's your shame? (Even Pam can't stand to watch)]

[Anzu Mihara: Pfft, look at Fufu checking in for 233 Credit Points, and you immediately change your tune. What a merchant! What a merchant!]

[Itsuki Mushimaru: Hmph!]

[Cynthia: I'm collapsing, I'm really collapsing. (Eggplant Limited Edition Sticker)]

[Cynthia: I warn you not to talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation, got it? I'll sue you for defamation. Himeko, they're defaming me... (Taige Limited Edition Sticker)]

[Hydro Archon Furina: I still have the incident where you used a Sandsloth to trick me written in my little notebook. (Pam looks down on you)]

[Hydro Archon Furina: Do you know how many man-hours and resources I've mobilized to catch Duke Tom? An invasive species will disrupt Fontaine's ecological environment!]

[Hydro Archon Furina: It's a good thing I haven't asked you for extra compensation for one.]

[Lu Shu: Especially since it's a "rat" with super reproductive capabilities.]

Duke Tom?

That Sandsloth?

Thank you, Teacher Tom.

[Cynthia: Now, you're wronging me, dear. I really can't give you two; I'd be losing money.]

She didn't know how Pokémon could betray their Trainer and run off on their own.

By all rights, this shouldn't happen.

Could it be that they couldn't adapt to this other world?

That doesn't make sense either.

Shouldn't it be "World Harmony"?

She had already tested this with Anzu; when Anzu's Digimon was placed in her world, it could be put into a Poké Ball just the same.

[Hikari: We can't afford it; we don't have many credits left.]

[Cynthia: Others, sure, but Hikari, you're a wealthy woman—does it not trouble your conscience to say that? (Paimon is utterly speechless).]

This group has only existed for two months.

Everyone joined the group in the first month.

The only way to earn large amounts of credits is through the daily check-in.

Even then, it's only from zero to a thousand?!

But people like the little thief cat Nami have all drawn a zero before!

It's just that Nami did it six times, which is far more than anyone else.

Basically, the daily reward rarely reaches a hundred.

Sometimes it's only a dozen or so.

Only Hikari has ever drawn a thousand points.

This time, Lu Shu's 888 points and Anzu's 666 points were both extraordinary bursts of luck.

Furina saved for an entire month and only accumulated a thousand points!

Let's calculate it.

On average, it's just over thirty per day.

Although one can upload legendary items to earn points, except for Hikari, most of them were appraised at extremely low values.

Just a few points or a dozen points.

As for their own abilities?

Everyone is somewhat wary.

Except for Furina, who went all in, no one else was willing to spend.

They are all saving up points.

[Cynthia: Sigh, to restore my reputation, I've brought a batch of Pokémon eggs this time~. Furina can get one Water-type Pokémon egg for free. If anyone else wants one, it's 500... no, 300 credits each.]

[Cynthia: Since new members have joined, consider this a bonus, a token of gratitude to our family members.]

Lu Shu pouted.

Using his name, she's truly a shrewd merchant.

[Cynthia: I've marked the numbers on the eggshells; you can choose for yourselves.]

[Little Thief Cat Nami: I feel like there's a trap. (Paimon is on guard).]

[Hydro Archon Furina: Nami, you can be more confident; just drop the "I feel like" part.]

As soon as she went online, she immediately consulted Miku to cross-reference the complete Pokédex of all Pokémon eggs.

But unfortunately,

it seems something is wrong!

The complete Pokédex of all Pokémon eggs that Miku found doesn't seem to match Cynthia's batch exactly.

Moreover, there are too many eggs; comparing them one by one made her eyes spin.

[Lu Shu: These Pokémon eggs are indeed not a trap, but most of them are the "Starter Pokémon."]

Based on his limited memory, they all seem to be Starter Pokémon.

However, the patterns on the eggshells seem slightly different from what he remembers.

Only Squirtle remains unchanged!

There is no definitive conclusion on which generation's Starter Pokémon is the strongest, but the second generation is universally acknowledged as the weakest!

He passed the information to Furina.

[Hydro Archon Furina: Squirtle, huh? To be honest, Squirtle is quite cute. So now it's a gamble?]

Drawing Squirtle is a safe bet.

As for the rest, it depends on luck!

The first generation's Starter Pokémon are the most well-known.

Grass-type Bulbasaur, Fire-type Charmander, and Water-type Squirtle.

That disobedient old Charizard—how many people's childhoods did it shape? Even now, its popularity remains sky-high.

And the Water-type?

The first two are very cute, but the third?

Emm, it became the mascot for memes.

Haha!

[Mutaguchi Yako: I'll buy one. Besides the Water type, are there any others?]

To be honest, she was tempted.

Who wouldn't want a pet that is both adorable and understands what you say?

One you can pet and also fight with.

Starter Pokémon can be trained to be very powerful.

She wouldn't mind trying her luck.

[Nakano Miku: Then I'll take one as well.]

["The Demon's Full Course Meal": Can I pay on credit?]

[Little Thief Cat Nami: Me? Never mind...]

She needs to save up points.

[Cynthia: Sister Himeka, don't you want one? And Lu Shu?]

[Himeka: I already have Pam.]

[Lu Shu: Forget the Pokémon; I want Digimon. Preferably Angewomon, Rosemon, Venusmon, Lilithmon, and the like. @Mihara Anko.]

Everyone: "!"

[Mihara Anko ^ω^: Oh~ Little handsome, your motives are impure. Do you perhaps wish to fill Angewomon's body with canned knowledge?]

PS: If you find this book acceptable, dear readers, please cast even a single flower or a review vote, or leave a comment in the discussion section to let the author know someone is reading.

Orz.

015: As for cream puffs and such, gods cannot marry.

Angewomon, Rosemon, Venusmon, Lilithmon?

Lu Shu's bold declaration stunned the women in the group chat.

They stood there, dumbfounded.

What a boast!

They all knew that the 'Digimon' in Mihara Anko's world were data given physical form.

In other words, they possessed real bodies.

They had tested it.

Anko had sent a 'Black Ballmon' to Cynthia, and upon entering the Pokémon world, it remained in a physical state.

Furthermore, some Digimon were indistinguishable from humans.

Take Venusmon, for instance, an Ultimate-level Digimon and one of the Twelve Olympian Gods, a Digimon embodying 'love' and governing affection.

She was a completely human being.

Moreover, her attire was extremely sexy and fiery!

Yet, upon her, one strangely detected no trace of any vulgar or filthy aura.

She was quite sacred.

[Mutsuki Saya: Uh, this person is so perverted!]

[Thief Cat Nami: Yeah, a pervert.]

[Hydro Archon Furina: Humans shouldn't, or at least shouldn't.]

[Himeka: Hmm, young Lu is quite avant-garde.]

[Cynthia: Pfft, scum, devil! How dare you harbor such filthy thoughts toward the pure Angewomon? I despise you! (A death glare from Pam)]

[Mihara Anko: Tsk tsk~ I must say, little handsome has some ideas.]
