It all starts with helping Pokémon

Chapter 134 Lusamine: "Have you guys dated yet (laughs)"

On the boat to Ether Paradise, the students were not very happy about Lillie's concealment of her identity.

We've known each other for so long, but only now do we know, it's as if we don't consider them friends, so we're waiting for an explanation.

"Because of that..."

Lilia was struggling with how to explain it reasonably, but Hoshino helped her explain to others: "Because her mother was a researcher before, sometimes it is not easy to disclose her identity, but it is different now, as a director of the Ethereum Foundation Long, it doesn’t matter if this identity is made public.”

"So that's the case. If you're doing research, it's really inconvenient to say it."

Mizuki nodded, but she glanced at Hoshino. She and Lilia were very familiar, and she was curious about her family situation before.

But every time there is no answer, it means that there must be a problem, there may be these reasons, but it is definitely not the key, but since she doesn't want to talk about it, then she will come to help smooth things over.

When the two sang together, the others naturally believed it. Bi Ke was not with them, so even if there was a problem, it was impossible to point it out.

Seeing that this matter passed so easily, Liliai also heaved a sigh of relief, and thanked Hoshino and Mizuki gratefully.

"Ah."

"Small idea."

Soon, the speedboat will arrive at the Ether Paradise. From a distance, you can feel the size and shock of this artificial island, especially when you get close.

Rather than saying it is an island, it is more like a huge building floating on the sea with a sense of technology!It wouldn't be a surprise to fly someday.

Looking at the magnificence of the ether paradise, someone asked in shock: "Lilia, your house is too big!"

"These are all expanded at the back. They were never so big before, and although this island belongs to my family, my house is actually at the back..."

"Being able to own such an island is actually the same. I can't envy you."

"It's better not to be envious..."

As everyone chatted, the speedboat gradually entered the pier and stopped in the dedicated docking area. There are only some staff members of the Ether Paradise nearby, and there are no tourists, so there is no need to worry about being too crowded.

After docking, Bi Ke walked over from the front, clapped his hands together, and said to them with a smile: "Okay, kids, let's get off the boat here, pay attention to your feet, don't fall~"

"..."

In one sentence, everyone was silent, and Li Liai explained with some embarrassment: "Miss Bi Ke is only a few years younger than my mother, but she is well maintained and looks very young. By the way, she likes children very much. She does that to me a lot too."

"Wait, like children? Big carts... Sorry, I was wrong."

"Don't think wrongly! Think straight!"

"..."

After disembarking, Bi Ke was in charge of taking them to take the staff-only elevator, which other tourists could not appreciate.

Hoshino looked around curiously, and suddenly found that the map on the panel in front of him had now marked all the routes of the ether paradise, which hadn't been there before.

However, he suddenly discovered that there are not so many surveillance cameras in Ether Paradise on the map, even more than Orange Grape Academy.

He looked up and looked around, and sure enough, there was a Rotom camera pointed at this side, and he didn't know if that was it, or who he was watching...

After taking the elevator to the first floor, when everyone was about to ask where to start the tour, Bi Ke suddenly smiled and said: "Before the official visit, we still have a place to go~"

"Huh? Didn't you say that before?"

Everyone was a little puzzled, is this kind of thing still a temporary drama?Maybe what will happen.

Seeing their expressions, Bi Ke quickly explained: "Actually, the chairman wants to see you."

"!!!"

Li Liai was startled, not far behind, Hau asked: "Isn't the chairman just..."

Bi Ke nodded, and responded: "That's right, it's Lilia's mother. After she learned that you would all be here, she deliberately pushed away some of the media, and was going to meet you in person to thank you when you were at school. Some care for Lillie."

"I see, I feel a little embarrassed..."

Knowing that it was the chairman who wanted to see them, everyone had nothing to worry about, and they all looked forward to what kind of person Lillie's mother was.

But Liliai started to get nervous. She didn't expect her mother to push away other things and come to them specifically. What should I do?
Hoshino stood beside her, patted her shoulder lightly with one hand, and comforted softly: "Don't be nervous, it's okay, I'm here."

Liliai glanced at him and felt a sense of security in an instant, then smiled and nodded slightly.

"Ah."

It's just that their somewhat ambiguous actions were all captured by the Rotom surveillance camera above.

On the other side, the chairman of the Ethereum Foundation, Lillie's mother, Lusamine, was watching this scene with a smile in front of a screen, but her eyes gradually changed.

"Heh... are you here?"

……

The crowd continued to follow Bi Ke to the second floor of the Ether Paradise, which is the ecological garden, that is, the place where the injured Pokémon live when they recover from their injuries and heal their psychological trauma.

"Wow, this place is completely different from the ecological parks of some research institutes I have visited before."

"Of course, we have completely simulated the ecological environment in the wild. At the same time, we will also create a living area for each Pokémon here, which is convenient for recuperation."

"This is a bit powerful..."

"This is the technology of our Ethereum Foundation, and it will not be passed on to the outside world, so it is better not to continue to inquire."

Bi Ke reminded her kindly, then looked forward, and continued: "The director's office is through the woods ahead, because she can see the Pokémon in the park at any time, so she chose the office here, so that it is convenient to take care of."

"Eh? The chairman is really a kind person, and he loves Pokémon so much."

"Everyone here is like this~"

Bi Ke smiled and interjected, then stopped, and continued, "You guys just go straight there. I still have work, so I'll go down first."

"Well, thank you."

After bringing everyone there, Bi Ke said hello and left.

And at this moment, from the front office, Lusamine walked out with a kind smile on her face. She could see the surveillance along the way, so she would naturally know that they had arrived.

"Alola~"

Lusamine waved her hand and greeted with a smile, and almost everyone couldn't help being a little surprised when they saw this perfect woman who was very similar to Lillie and full of mature temperament.

"So young, so beautiful, exactly like the news, is this really Lillie's mother and not her sister?"

"The child can really talk, but I am indeed her mother~ I am already in my 40s."

Lusamine responded with an embarrassed smile, and then glanced away.

After staying on Hoshino for a while longer, it landed on Lilia, and then said in a somewhat reproachful tone: "Anyway, I am also your mother, but I haven't contacted me for a year outside. I heard that you have been to Papa before." Dia? At least tell me something interesting happened when you come back."

"This one……"

Lillie lowered her head, a little afraid to look at the other party, but her action made Lusamine's green eyes seem a little cold.

But Hoshino stood aside and said with a smile: "Because she has been working hard this year, she finally overcame her fear of Pokémon and learned to fight. If she wants to catch up with others, how can she not work harder, so I just There isn't much time left."

Hearing this, Lusamine's eyes changed again, and then she asked in great surprise: "Really? You have really..."

"Yes!"

Lillie nodded seriously, and continued: "I have overcome my fear, and now, I have tamed two Pokémon!"

As soon as the words fell, other people on the side immediately testified. This can be regarded as some ways to make friends not lose face in front of family members when they go to play at a friend's house, although this is also true.

After confirming, for the first time, Lusamine really showed a happy smile on her face, and nodded with great satisfaction. Seeing her mother like this, Lillie was actually quite happy in her heart.

Just the next second, the other party's eyes fell on Hoshino, and then he put his right hand on his waist and asked curiously: "You answered for her just now, can you tell me, classmate, is your name?"

"My name is Hoshino, meeting you for the first time."

Hoshino responded politely, with a smile on his face all the time, and he had been observing the other party since he appeared on the stage. This chairman is indeed a ruthless character not to be trifled with.

"Well...it's a good name."

Lusamine nodded slightly, but immediately, the corners of her lips raised slightly, showing a kind smile, and suddenly asked, "So have you guys been dating?"

"???"

Hoshino directly asked a few question marks, how did he think of this?No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't think of a piece, okay, so many people at the scene, so I chose myself?
After hearing this question, Liliai immediately shook her head and responded after reacting: "We have no relationship, we are just ordinary friends."

"Ordinary friends... I see."

The kind smile on Lusamine's face still did not disappear until now, and then she looked at the others and said, "I have something to do later, but you, as Lillie's classmates, have helped me take care of her for so long, so you must also Some perks will do!"

"Later, I will ask Bi Ke to take you into the ecological park for a close look. This is a treatment that other tourists can't experience. As for the evening, come to my house as a guest. I will cook for you~"

Hearing this, the others were quite surprised, but they could understand it, and they were too embarrassed to refuse. After saying thank you, they turned and left.

But at this moment, Lusamine suddenly tilted her head and shouted, "Lillie, come here, I have something to tell you."

"..."

Lilia just turned around, and when she heard the voice, she froze on the spot, then nodded slightly, and walked towards her mother.

Hoshino glanced at it, but it was a pity that he couldn't follow, this was the other party's family business, he was just an outsider, and the past would only cause the other party's displeasure, so he whispered: "We will wait for you below."

"Um……"

Lilia responded, and then walked into the office with her mother. After the door was closed, there were only mother and daughter left here.

At this time, the smile on Lusamine's face gradually disappeared. She turned to look at her daughter and asked, "Didn't it mean that you worked too hard, so you didn't have time to contact me? How come you still have time to fall in love?"

"I……"

Seeing her sudden expression, Lilia panicked instantly, fear flashed in her heart, and she was about to explain immediately, but Lusamine suddenly sighed with disappointment and shook her head.

"I even learned to lie to my mother. It's too easy to see through your mind. I know you have been avoiding me, but I agreed, because I love you and want to see you grow up, but in the end you are also like yours. I’m really sad that I’ve become a bad boy like my brother who didn’t live up to expectations.”

"No, I didn't..."

Although I don't know why my mother suddenly mentioned her brother who has become a missing person, but she and Hoshino really don't have that kind of relationship.

This is the truth, she didn't lie, she just tried her best to explain, but in return... there was only a crisp sound.

Snapped--

Lilia's voice stopped abruptly, her eyes were wide open, her expression was completely stunned, and a red mark was clearly left on her fair face.

Lusamine withdrew her hand, her eyes had lost their brilliance at this moment, she looked at her daughter indifferently, and said coldly: "Bad children who don't listen to their mother should be punished, think about it carefully! You should be my daughter for the rest of your life." Lovely daughter, instead of going to be with someone else! Then leave me! This is not domination, but my love for you..."

After finishing speaking, she opened the door and left the office, leaving Lilia here alone, kneeling on the ground, covering her face, choking up...

On the first floor of the Ether Paradise, Hoshino waited here alone for the eldest lady to come down. As for the others, they followed Bi Ke to play, mainly because he was not interested in it for the time being.

He glanced at the time on the big screen not far away, and complained softly: "It's so slow, it's been almost an hour, hasn't it come down yet?"

"Meow……"

Xinye Miao was hugged by him with a resentful expression on his face, pawed and held his hand non-stop, expressing that he wanted to play around, but he didn't understand why he had to wait so long.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there to eat desserts, I hope the children haven't taken them all."

"Meow~"

With that said, Xinye Miao became happy, and Hoshino had no choice but to hold them and prepare to go there.

But as soon as he got up from the seat and took two steps forward, he collided with a passerby wearing a hat and sunglasses. The other person's sunglasses were accidentally knocked off the ground, and he subconsciously said sorry.

The other party didn't respond, so he had to bend down to pick up the sunglasses, and Hoshino also bent down to help the other party pick it up, but he couldn't understand why he wore sunglasses in such a brightly lit indoor place.

At this moment, the two touched the sunglasses at the same time, subconsciously looked up at each other, and then froze at the same time.

Because of bending over, the hat on his head couldn't hold down the mop-like bangs of the opponent, and was ejected to the ground, revealing his true colors.

"It's you?"

"It's you!!!"
