I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

"Eh?"

Lillie tilted her head, but Aisha didn't explain further.

Although she is young, Liliae is undoubtedly a very sensible child.

She had not held a grudge against her mother even though she had been scolded so unreasonably and rudely by Lusamine before.

After misunderstanding her relationship with Lusamine, she did not choose to create a gap with her mother. Instead, she surprisingly took the initiative to find herself and told her about Lusamine's kindness and hard work, asking herself, her mother's "new love" in her eyes, to treat her well.

Lillie has pure love for Lusamine.

Lusamine did the same to Lillie.

But unfortunately, in the original plot, because of Lusamine's paranoid and obsessive style, and her almost pathological desire to control her daughter, the mother and daughter who loved each other deeply eventually stood on opposite sides due to a series of events, resulting in a huge and irreconcilable contradiction.

During this time, Lillie also endured too much pressure that she shouldn't have to endure at her age...

"Lilia."

Out of pity for the girl, Aisha thought for a moment and finally raised the question.

"Did you and your mother have a conflict?"

If possible, Aisha still hopes that she can help Lillie as much as possible and resolve the conflict between her and Lusamine.

This child shouldn't have to endure so much pain.

"..."

Hearing Aisha's question, Liliae's eyes darkened a little.

But thinking of the conversation with Aixia just now, she still answered Aixia's question.

"Ah."

The girl nodded and returned to her timid look.

"Um......"

"During this time, not during this time." Lillie's face showed a thoughtful expression. "It should have started a year ago. Mom started working overtime frequently due to work. She didn't stay home during the day and often stayed in the office all night. The opportunities for us to see each other gradually became less and less."

"Ah."

Aisha sat opposite Liliae, looking as if she was listening attentively. She nodded and waited for her to continue.

Seeing Aisha's expression, Liliae seemed to have received recognition and encouragement. She calmed herself down and continued her story.

"Since then, I've noticed that my mother has started to change."

"changed?"

"Well, maybe it's because work is too tiring and too busy. I found that my mother has become less gentle than before... She used to come home every night to cook for me and tell me stories before bed. But gradually, all of this disappeared, and she became irritable and angry."

Having said this, Liliae showed a bitter smile on her face.

The afternoon sun shines through the office window and falls on the girl.

Her brilliant golden hair shone in the sunlight like golden sand.

However, the girl's expression hidden under her brilliant golden hair was excessively bitter.

“You saw it before…”

"Ah."

Of course, Lillie was referring to the time when she and Aisha first met, and Lusamine was merciless and scolded her without even giving her a chance to speak, and then drove her away.

"Maybe I've been talking to my mom about something so many times lately that she's getting impatient... Anyway, my mom feels so strange to me right now."

As if recalling the few conversations she had with Lusamine during this period, all of which ended in a terrible quarrel, Lillie lowered her head somewhat aggrievedly, her slender arms tightly clasped across her chest, her body trembling slightly.

"Well, I see."

Aisha's voice remained gentle, indicating that she had a general understanding of the situation.

Lillie's description was very similar to his own thoughts.

Lusamine's obsession and desire for control finally made their mother-daughter relationship worse.

"But don't be afraid."

Aisha's voice was full of confidence as he comforted Liliae, who was trembling slightly across from him.

"If that's the case, then I think I can help you."

"Eh?"

Lilia looked up in surprise.

At first, she didn't actually hold out hope that Aisha could help her. After all, she knew that Aisha came to the Ether Paradise for work, and she couldn't trouble him too much.

Originally, Lillie had accumulated too much negative emotions in her heart due to her bad relationship with her mother. Today, she finally had someone to talk to, so she thought of using Aisha as a confidant and telling her about her distress.

Unexpectedly, Aixia actually said that he would help himself?

"How to help?"

Although she subconsciously didn't want to trouble others, for Liliae, her relationship with her mother was more important than politeness and reserve.

Therefore, she still looked at Aisha with anticipation.

"You also said that the reason why your mother is like this is probably because of work problems."

Aixia spread her hands and said, "You guessed right, actually. She was really worried about work. A major project at the foundation was stuck and hadn't been resolved. This might have contributed to her bad mood and the change in her temperament during this period."

"Um......"

Lilia nodded obediently and stared at Aisha seriously, like a student waiting for the teacher's lecture.

"what."

Aixia couldn't help but smile slightly when she saw this.

"But now that problem has been solved."

"solved?"

The blonde girl cried out in surprise.

Because she is young, she has not yet participated in any work of the Ether Foundation.

Therefore, she had no idea what everyone in the foundation was busy with.

However, when Lusamine just began to change, she accidentally saw something important...

"..."

Thinking of the Pokémon she had seen in the underground laboratory, Lillie pursed her lips and looked at Aisha with a hopeful glint in her eyes.

She wondered if this older brother with a good personality and handsome looks could help her rescue the child. Burying this thought deep in her heart, Liliae planned to find an opportunity to tell Aisha about it later.

"Well, it's solved."

Aisha noticed that Liliae was distracted just now, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he planned to comfort the girl first.

"Because of my intervention~" He deliberately said this in an exaggerated tone, patting his chest and saying, "The problems that previously troubled everyone in the foundation, as well as your mother, have been successfully resolved."

"Oh~"

Lillie clapped her hands cooperatively and cheered for Aisha in an exaggerated tone.

"I estimate that the foundation will not encounter any work-related problems for a long time to come, and your mother will certainly be happy."

Aisha wasn't sure what Lusamine would do, but according to common sense, this woman had obtained the Xuwuide she had coveted for a long time, and now she had the leisure to hold a celebration party for herself. She seemed to be in a good mood no matter how you looked at her. At the very least, she should give Lillie some good face.

"Really...?" Lillie was clearly a little frightened by Lusamine's recent behavior. "Will Mom really be happy again?"

"Haven't you seen it all before?"

Aisha asked Liliae back, with a half-smile on her face.

"When you saw her with me, she was smiling happily. You even said she hadn't smiled like that in a long time." The young man shrugged and said, "We had only just agreed to a partnership. Now that we've achieved some real results, of course she's even happier."

"Woo!"

Lillie's face turned red again when she mentioned her misunderstanding of the relationship between her mother and Aisha.

When Lillie thought about how she had even thought about her mother and him doing that kind of thing in the elevator, she wanted to dig a hole right there and bury herself in it.

It turns out that I'm the one who's not ashamed...

"hiss."

Liliae tapped her toes on the ground in embarrassment.

"I, I know!"

She no longer dared to stay in front of Aixia, so she stood up and bowed sincerely to Aixia.

"Thank you, big brother, for not only keeping my secret, but also telling me so much and helping mom..."

Even now, she still understands Lusamine's difficulties. It really makes people sigh that this child is really too well-behaved.

"You're welcome."

Aisha also stood up.

"You can call me Aisha, it's my name. Calling me big brother... always reminds me of dogs and little girls."

"Ok?"

Lillie didn't understand the joke Aisha played at the end, but she didn't care. She had a bright smile on her face because she was able to reconcile with her mother.

"I understand, Brother Aisha!"

--------

Show me another episode of Gochard and I’ll do anything!

By the way, I recommend a book to you~

Chapter 583: I hit Aixia? Really?

"I already said it would be weird to call you big brother..."

Aisha adjusted the hair by her ears, a helpless expression on her face.

"never mind."

Then, he shook his head and accepted Liliae's name.

"It's better than just calling me brother."

If Lillie directly called me brother, wouldn't I be a generation shorter than Lusamine for no reason?

Although considering her age and mine, this isn't a problem...

But Aisha still felt something was strange.

"Hmm~"

Liliae smiled and nodded.

"Well, please give me your guidance during this period of time, Brother Aixia!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her slender little hand towards Aisha.

The sunlight shines through the window and falls on the girl.

The blonde girl in a white dress seemed to be glowing all over under the sunlight.

Unlike before, at this moment, it was not only Lillie's long hair like golden sand that was shining brightly, but the girl's smile was also extremely bright.

The knot that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time was finally untied a little...

"Ah."

Seeing Lillie's happy and genuine smile, Aisha knew that what she had just said had worked.

So, he also reached out and held Liliae's little hand.

"I'll be grateful for your guidance in the future."

He smiled and said, "I'm a newcomer. I might need your help with something in this Ether Paradise."

"Hmm~"
