Chapter 694 Island Development (Part 2, please vote!)
The next day.

"Ha ha!"

Jinghe excitedly pulled up the fishing rod, looked at the barracuda hanging on the hook, and smiled with satisfaction.

This is a Pokémon that was discovered and registered in the Pokédex in the Galar region. It gets its name from its shuttle-like shape, and its tail fin has three blades, somewhat resembling a propeller.

Barracuda is a Sucker Punch Pokémon, a pure Water-type Pokémon with extremely high speed in water. Its evolved form, Barracuda, can exceed 100 knots.

However, Pokémon like Barracuda have very poor eyesight, so hunting them often depends on luck.

At the same time, although Barracuda is very fast, it is only at a straight line speed. If you make them turn, they will become very slow. It is one of the Pokémon that Lunado is most fond of swallowing and spitting.

"While it's not particularly rare, at least it's not a Magikarp anymore."

Jinghe was overjoyed.

This is a good omen.

"This body of water is indeed very rich in resources."

Before long, Jinghe caught his second barracuda, then a third, a fourth, a fifth, and a sixth.
"No."

Undeterred, Jinghe cast his fishing hook again.

What was supposed to be a great start to the day seems to have stirred up trouble for the barracuda.
the other side.

Gengar sat under the tree, its complete tea set laid out on the table, the kettle bubbling and steaming.

"Gengga~ Gengga~"

Humming a little tune, he slowly began to brew and steep the tea.

Of course, the most important thing is the newly acquired tea set, the teapot, and two tea leaves.

In response, Bu Si Hu and Lai Bei Cha seemed quite calm, no, even a little excited.

They had no idea how long they had been in the shipwreck, only that they hadn't experienced the "baptism" of tea for a very, very long time.

I'm kind of looking forward to it.
Gengar quickly fulfilled their expectations.

Gengar tossed the slightly bitter-tasting Aura Root into a Pot of Fire, then poured in boiling water. Instantly, the Pot of Fire was filled with the slightly bitter aroma of Aura Root.

Da da da da——

The lid of the pot suddenly shook, and the little purple figure inside the pot seemed to realize something was wrong and struggled to get out.

No! This isn't tea! This is vital energy!
Gengar calmly placed its finger on the lid of the pot, silently calculating the time.

"哓GA!"

almost!

Gengar confidently picked up the teapot and poured the tea into the teapot.

Two steaming cups of Vitality Root Tea were quickly brewed.

The chubby purple-skinned boy flicked his finger and pushed one of the cups in front of the leader of the well-fed squirrels.

"Whoosh?"

The gluttonous squirrel looked at the cup of tea with great interest, while Gengar had already picked up another cup and gently blew on it.

call--

Then I slowly took a sip.

Smack smack smack, huh?
It tastes pretty good, much better than before!

Seeing that Gengar had already taken a sip, Squidward immediately put away its suspicious look, picked up its teacup and imitated Gengar, blowing on it before taking a sip.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"

The gluttonous squirrel's eyes widened suddenly, as if it wanted to spit it out, but it met Gengar's teasing gaze and forced itself to swallow it back.

Then, watching as the squirrel's face gradually changed from its original reddish-brown to white, then slowly to green, and finally to gray, its eyes rolled back and it collapsed onto the table, foaming at the mouth, its toes still twitching.

"Genga~" Gengar pouted.

And you call yourself a leader? You're trying to act all high and mighty in front of me! You can't do that!
I blew on it, took another sip, and found it tasted better and better, and became more and more intoxicating.

This treasure was definitely worth finding!
What's wrong with it?

Jinghe gave up and came back with his fishing rod, only to see the leader of the Sunflower Squirrels lying on the table, foaming at the mouth.

Gengar gestured with his lips, indicating the Lai Bei Tea on Jing He's table.

"Aren't Normal-type Pokémon immune to Ghost-type Pokémon?" Jing He asked, puzzled.

The tea from Lai Bei shouldn't be able to cause any harm to the savage squirrel, right?

Moreover, the combined grade of these two Lai Bei teapots and even the Bu Si pot is probably not as high as that of this Tibetan squirrel.

Gengar shrugs.

"Genga~"

That's what I meant~
As it spoke, it brewed another cup for Jinghe and handed it over to him.

Jing He's expression changed instantly, and he waved his hand, saying:
"Well, forget about me. I still need to dig up trees and try to bring back as many fruit trees as possible at once."

Whether it was because the tea from the Lai Bei Teapot was inherently unpalatable and even drained one's vital energy, or because the tea brewed in the Bu Si Pot was said to have a great flavor, Jing He had no interest in trying it.

how to say.

Isn't this similar to drinking the "bathwater" from the Laibei tea and the Busi pot?
He's not like A-Du, he doesn't like that kind of thing.

As the saying goes, a little fishing is pleasant, but too much fishing is harmful. After catching more than a dozen barracuda, Jinghe gave up and went back into the orchard on the plain, where he began to dig up saplings.

It’s time to say it or not.

In the Pokémon world, efficiency is indeed high.

With the help of Pokémon, it only took two days to tidy up this originally messy berry forest.

They obtained many tree seedlings of various sizes, as well as a very rare "magical tree fruit".

Considering that the transplanting of the tree fruit seedlings should be done sooner rather than later, Jinghe said goodbye to the wild Pokémon and the Squirrels on the Lake-side Plains in the afternoon and returned to the Crown Snowfield.

"If you have time, go to 'Sleepy Forest'."

Calycerin took the reins of Spirithorn from Gengar.

I've really let it ride around to its heart's content these past few days, but I haven't insisted on taking the Spirit Horse back with me.

At worst, we can just call the Spirit Horse for help when we need it later, right?
The Crowned King still retains a portion of its original power within the Spirit Horse's body. Only by gathering its two beloved horses can the Crowned King's power return to normal.

As for the peak, I'm afraid we'll never see it again.

Without sufficient "faith power," the Raicrown's power cannot be restored to what it was when she was the King of Galar.

“The Misty Forest?” Jing He raised an eyebrow.

The Misty Forest is located in the southern mountains of the Crown Snowfield, but it is blocked by continuous mountain ranges and glaciers, making it very difficult to get there from the Crown Snowfield, even by flying.

Because the Misty Forest is not only located in the mountains and forests, but is also shrouded in thick fog all year round, it is notorious for being easy to get lost in.

The only, and relatively best, route to enter the Misty Forest is through Hualang Town.

Others may not know what lies within the Misty Forest, but Jing He knows very well.

The two legendary heroes of the Galar region, the Sword Dog and the Shield Dog, slumber in the Slumbering Forest.

Combined with the previous account of the Crown King's deeds.

When Mugentana created "Dark Night," it was probably working with Sword Dog and Shield Dog.

Now, let Jinghe visit the Misty Forest if he has the chance.
Did you sense the signs of Wuji Tai's awakening?
“Yes, for your Greatsmith,” said the Crowned King, glancing at the Greatsmith beside him. “It should be of considerable help.”

Master blacksmith?
Jinghe also looked at her own Hammer Girl.

The little guy was holding a hammer, looking around with his head held high, as if wondering if a big bird or something would appear in the sky.

Is this meant to send Brigitte to "tap" the rotten sword and shield?
Jinghe seemed to understand what the Queen of the Brilliant Crown meant.

In the special episode, the protagonist, the master blacksmith, has a significant connection with the decaying sword and shield.

Furthermore, both Sword Dog and Shield Dog are Steel-type Pokémon.

“If I have the chance, I will go,” Jing He nodded, without making any further excuses.

Now that his Pokémon's strength has increased, he's still willing to try anything that benefits his Pokémon.

After all, he had experienced the Super Demon God Hoopa incident and seen so many legendary Pokémon. As long as he didn't encounter those super-sized legendary Pokémon, such as Eternatus or Necrozma, Jing He was still somewhat confident.

Even if it's the Eternal Tita.

As long as we can find the decayed sword and shield, awaken Zacian and Zamazenta, controlling Mugenta shouldn't be a problem.

As for now.

He needs to go back first and plant the saplings he finally managed to dig up, lest the success rate of transplantation decrease over time.

“If you have the chance, you can come to Hoenn for fun,” Jinghe also extended an invitation.

If the Crowned King were to descend upon his island, the island's resource growth would likely be multiplied dramatically.

Lei Guanwang did not refuse Jing He's invitation.

just.

It led the spirit horse and sighed softly.

"Although my people no longer remember me, I still consider myself their king, and it is my responsibility as king to protect them."

Seeing that Voidera was becoming more and more active, and even the Galar particles had moved to the Crown Snowfield, how could the Crown Queen be willing to leave the Galar region, which needed it the most, at this time?
Upon hearing this, Jing He sighed inwardly, somewhat admiring the sense of responsibility of the Queen of the Brilliant Crown.

I must say, this cauliflower-headed creature truly lives up to its title as the King of Galar.

After bidding farewell to the Queen of the Brilliant Crown once again, Jing He went to the Butterfly Clan, with whom she had previously made an appointment.

After several days of deliberation, the Butterflies made their decision.

Jinghe was asked to take three Butterflies, five Iron-shelled Pupae, and seven Green Caterpillars away. As for the Butterfly leader and the rest of the Butterflies, Iron-shelled Pupae, and Green Caterpillars, they chose to stay on the land that gave birth to and raised them.

This is a classic example of putting your eggs in two baskets.

Although Jinghe's strength is undeniable and their goodwill is palpable, there is still some trepidation about the unknown.

Jinghe didn't insist, and said that he might come back next time, bringing with him the butterflies that had lived there for a while. At that time, he could give the choice back to the butterflies.

This is the end.

Having reaped a bountiful harvest, Jinghe, along with Daye and his Pokémon, returned to Hoenn.

On June 8th, the weather was fine.

After getting off the plane, I rested for a while at the coffee shop, then took my Pokémon and my "creeper" Bigleaf and headed straight for the island.

Although I had only been gone for a few days, the island had already changed quite a bit.

What was once a barren island is now covered with a thin layer of green grass.

It's a vibrant green.

Even from afar, one can feel the vibrant life emanating from the island.

"Great!" Jing He said with a look of satisfaction. "You must have had a tough time with your mount, the goat, and the three ground squirrels."

The scene before us proves that the island has now completed its most basic transformation and is suitable for vegetation growth.

Although the ground left after the magma solidified was rich in minerals, it was too hard and obviously unsuitable for plants to take root and grow. However, with the efforts of the three gophers to cultivate the land, these solid magma rocks have been transformed into soil that is extremely rich in nutrients.

If it weren't in the Pokémon world, completing such a modification would undoubtedly be extremely troublesome and difficult, but in the Pokémon world, not only was the modification completed, but it also didn't seem to be very difficult.

The mountain goats covering the entire area with grass further confirmed the soil environment of the island at that moment.

Besides the green grass.

The depression that Dragonite and its companions dug in the center of the island some time ago is still filled with a pool of fresh water.

In this way, the most basic water supply needed for daily life is met.

As long as you add some gentle water-type Pokémon to the pond, you won't have to worry about stagnant water.

They disembarked from the aircraft.

Jinghe brought out all the "harvest" from the Crown Snowfield.

This includes Pokémon: three Butterfree, five Kakuna, seven Caterpie, and six Berrybug. Of course, the tea set that Gengar "captured," a Pot of Terror, and two Rising Teas don't count.

However, this is in addition to the two gophers and two riding goats that were already there.

The number of Pokémon living on the island has also exceeded even numbers, surpassing twenty!
Besides Pokémon, this also includes a large number of plants, especially berry seedlings.

The following trees are included: one "Miracle Tree Fruit", five cherry saplings, two peach saplings, seven pomelo saplings, ten each of wild apple and orange saplings, three banana saplings, and five each of corn saplings, bamboo saplings, jujube saplings, lemon saplings, and horned saplings.

In addition, there were three mature fruit trees dug up from their own yard: cherry, pomelo, peach, jujube, limu, and jujube.

A total of eighty fruit trees will be planted!

"What a huge project!"

Watching Gengar emerge one by one from the shadows, Jinghe couldn't help but sigh.

But aside from marveling at the scale of the project, Jinghe felt mostly joy and satisfaction.

at last
Finally, I can settle down and plant the crops.

Eighty fruit trees are not a large number for a farm.

Many farms have fruit trees, with the number measured in "hundreds".

On farms like Mr. Fu's, the trees and fruits planted are said to be measured in "thousands".

That's a real big farm.

Only a farm like this can supply the needs of high-energy-consuming trainers like Jinghe.

However, although it cannot compare to those large farms, these eighty fruit trees, once fully mature, will produce enough fruit to greatly alleviate the pressure on Jinghe.

Moreover, this island is so big that it can continue to plant and grow. One day, the fruits produced on the island will not only meet the needs of him and his Pokémon, but there will even be a surplus to sell.

This is always a very good start.

"Gengar, move Calyrex to the lake in the center of the island."

Jinghe then called on everyone to get to work.

"Genga~!"

After the Crowned King regained some of its strength, its power on the wood carving also became stronger.

Even if the wooden carving were placed in the center of the island, the power from the "King of Abundance," even from a great distance, would be enough to cover the entire island.

Gengar moved the wooden carving from the cleared farmland and placed it next to the lake.

Afterwards, Jinghe called on everyone to start planting trees, and he also walked to the center of the island.

Not far from the Yu Lei Crown Wood Carving, a pit was dug, and the "magical tree fruit" was taken out.

According to the knowledge written in Master Fu's book, for some tree fruits with high nutrient requirements and high environmental requirements, planting the whole fruit would be a better choice. As for the process of drying, soaking, and germinating the seeds, the special characteristics of the tree fruit itself mean that this step can be skipped.

"Hopefully it will grow."

After gently rubbing the "magical tree fruit," Jinghe placed it in the pit and covered it with soil.

Then take out the Squirtle spray bottle that you prepared beforehand, sprinkle some water on it, and wet the soil.

Whether it can ultimately grow depends on whether the conditions on the island can meet the factors necessary for its growth.

"King of the Brilliant Crown, please keep an eye on things for me," Jing He said to the wood carving with a smile.

hum-

On the wooden carving of the lace crown, a faint, crystalline green light shimmered, as if to say—as you wish.

After planting the most important "magical tree fruit", Jing He also turned to transplanting the tree fruit seedlings.

It's summer now, the temperature is high, and the sun is very strong, so frankly, it's not a good time for a transplant.

Fortunately, these problems can be overcome to some extent.

Transplanting saplings is much simpler than digging them up, at least there's less concern about damaging the roots.

even.

With the help of the Brilliant King wood carving and the riding goats, the leaves of several saplings with better conditions, which had been somewhat withered, recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

While planting, Jinghe also comforted the Pokémon that were not quite adapted to the environment.

Especially the six fruit-eating worms.

Although the group of giant butterflies had arrived in a new environment, Jinghe had at least informed them beforehand, so they quickly calmed down.

But the six fruit-eating insects seemed somewhat cramped and afraid of this small island, which, despite its fertile soil, still appeared somewhat barren even with eighty fruit trees planted there.

They huddled together inside the apple.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they had harvested a bunch of apples.

Fortunately, Jinghe is a professional when it comes to communicating with and comforting Pokémon.

With the lure of food, a safe environment, and the kind guidance of Jinghe, the six fruit-eating worms finally slowly dropped their disguise and began to tentatively observe their surroundings.

Jinghe has already checked them. Of the six fruit-eating worms, four have the "mature" trait, and the other two have the "gluttonous" trait. None of them have a hidden trait.

Because of their "gluttonous" nature, they have a relatively high demand for food.

Therefore, Jinghe has decided that if conditions permit in the future, the four fruit-eating insects with the "mature" trait will evolve into Apple Wrap Dragon and Honey Dragon respectively, continuing the "mature" trait.

The other two "Gluttonous" type fruit-eating bugs can evolve into Honeybee and Honeycomb Serpent.

In the future, they will not only serve as the main force for the reproduction of fruit-eating insect populations, but also undertake certain tasks in the protection of small islands.

With the planting of the berry saplings, it is foreseeable that when these saplings grow up and begin to bear fruit, they will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of some wild Pokémon.

It could be anything that flies in the sky or swims in the sea.

Jing He couldn't possibly stay on the island to guard it for long; his teaching duties and his goal of winning the championship wouldn't give him that much time.

At that time, the island will have to have a certain ability to defend itself.

Butterfree could be an option, and Honeycomb Orochi is also a good direction for the future. He might invite more wild Pokémon to live on the island in the future, and gradually expand the island's population.

However, one thing is certain.

He will need to invest more resources and funds before the island can be completely self-sufficient.

But once you get through this "development" period, the pressure will drop dramatically.

The problem is how to survive.

Even if he doesn't train the Pokémon on the island like he trained Gengar or Ninetales, he still needs to provide them with basic food, right?
More than twenty Pokémon, even just their basic daily food intake, would amount to a considerable sum every day.

"I was thinking of raising some dairy cows or woofers to expand the livestock industry, but it seems I'll have to wait a bit longer."

He can't handle too much of a burden.

I just don't know how long my current savings will last.

Put aside your complicated thoughts, plant a sapling, cover it with soil, and water it.

Jinghe clapped his hands and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Turn around and look.

Then I saw the Snivy standing silently by the lake.

A gentle breeze rippled across the lake.

In a daze, Jinghe seemed to see a special connection between the vine snake and the "magical tree fruit" that had just been planted at its feet.

Ok?
Waveguide diffusion.

Jinghe saw the connection more clearly now.

It seemed that a grass-type energy was flowing from the Snivy, along its roots that spread out from its feet, and gradually being injected into the newly planted "miracle fruit".

At the same time, an energy slowly emanated from the "miracle fruit," which was absorbed by the roots of the vine snake.

This was somewhat beyond Jinghe's comprehension.

What is this doing?
To establish a connection with the "miracle tree fruit" or, more precisely, with the future "giant tree" in advance?
Because of the "blessing of the forest" possessed by Snivy?
However, since seeing the Snivy was not a bad thing, and could even bring some gains, Jinghe didn't bother with it.

While the "Miracle Berry" and the tree it grows into may be rare and valuable, they seem insignificant compared to their own Pokémon.

Besides, Jinghe didn't think that what the vine snake was doing would cause him much loss; it was more like a mutually beneficial relationship between it and the tree fruit.

Both sides can benefit.

The only difference is that Snivy may get tired in a short period of time.

But I reckon a good night's sleep should be enough to recover.

"Could this be the reason why this 'miracle fruit' tree is so difficult to cultivate?" Jing He felt as if he had vaguely grasped something.

This could be a direction for research.

"and many more."

However, before Jing He could be happy for long, he suddenly realized something.

"Putting everything else aside, this means that the Snivy's need for energy, or more accurately, its need for food, will be even greater?"

Okay.

You two are mutually beneficial and promoting each other, but it's our wallets that are being drained by your relationship!

Jinghe pursed her lips, observed for a while longer, and after confirming that the vine snake was indeed fine, she simply decided to ignore it.

"Mount Goat, and Fruit-Eating Worm, come help me plant some flowers."

Take out the seeds you bought in advance.

Compared to planting fruit trees, these common flowers are much easier to grow.

Simply scatter the seeds on the prepared soil, water them, and then let your mount, the goat, and the fruit-eating bug give them grass-type energy, such as a grassy field, and the seeds will quickly take root and sprout.

These aren't particularly precious flowers; they're just there to meet the basic needs of the Butterflies.

"We could try raising a swarm of bees. Forget about the giant bees, they're too dangerous. We could raise a swarm of honeybees instead. That way we'd have nectar, honey, and fruit, and our consumption wouldn't increase much."

The reclamation and transformation of the island are proceeding gradually, and Jinghe already has a plan for how to develop the entire island.

But when it comes to details, he often remembers what he thinks of and then tries to fill in the gaps later.

The current plan is to raise some more honeybees so that we can collect honey when the flowers bloom.

They also keep a few lotus leaf buds in the pond in the center of the island to prevent the stagnant water from producing too many bacteria.

As for the others, we can postpone them for now.

Time flies by in the midst of our busy lives.

For several days in a row, Jinghe went back and forth between the coffee shop and the island.

Aside from daily training, studying, cooking, and sleeping, he spent most of his time on the island.

All eighty fruit tree saplings have been transplanted.

In addition, most of the previously reclaimed farmland has been planted with plants.

It mainly consists of Ice Radish, Black Radish, the Spirit Root favored by Gengar, and some traditional Chinese medicines used to make potions and sprays.

In some open spaces, a large number of flower seeds were scattered.

Thanks to the efforts of Jinghe and the Pokémon, all the transplanted saplings took root and grew successfully. All the plants in the farmland and the flower seeds sown also sprouted green branches, and some even grew flower buds.

It must be admitted that the growth rate of plants in the Pokémon world is indeed astonishingly fast.

Of course, the wooden carvings of the Crowned King, including his riding goat, fruit-eating worm, and even the vine snake, all played a significant role.

However, even with so many plants of all sizes, they still only occupy less than one-tenth of the island's area.

"Hiss~"

The slug stood before the flower field, humming softly, raising its arms, and a surge of emerald green energy emanated from beneath its feet.

In the flower field before him, the plants were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and some flower buds were slowly unfolding.

For a while.

What was originally a small, lush green island has blossomed with vibrant colors, adding a touch of splendor to the entire island.

The aura of the Sniper has noticeably weakened.

"Woo~"

Seeing this, the butterflies fluttered their wings and flew into the bushes, enjoying the long-awaited nectar.

The two mountain goats looked at each other with puzzled expressions, not understanding why the vine snake could do this, while they seemed unable to.

Jinghe glanced at the wisteria snake, then looked at the tender seedling that had already broken through the soil by the pond, and a sense of enlightenment dawned on her.

He immediately smiled and said:
"I'll make you flower cakes for lunch today."

"Genga!!"

Gengar immediately cheered.

Flower cakes and tea are a perfect match!

woo-

A large sailboat sailed through the waves and approached the island.

Wearing a loose captain's uniform, King Genji looked at the newly renovated island with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This island... Jinghe really developed it? And planted so many things on it so quickly?

"Flying dragon!"

Riding the Flying Dragon, Genji arrived on the island.

Stepping on the soft soil covered with a thin layer of green grass and smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, Genji's expression of surprise deepened.

"Jinghe, you really have the potential to be a farm owner!" Yuanzhi laughed as he walked towards Jinghe, who was busy at work.

Jing He, who had already noticed the approaching ship, smiled and continued working, saying:
"Yes, Master Fu said I was born to do this job. He regretted not meeting me sooner, otherwise he would have passed on his mantle to me."

These words made Genji laugh even louder.

"Flower cakes?" His eyes lit up when he saw the items on the table.

He grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, while simultaneously taking out four red and white Poké Balls.

Looking at the Poké Balls, Jing He immediately put down what she was doing and asked with a hint of surprise:
"Lotus Leaf Boy?"

goo-dong-

Genji swallowed the flower cake, then drank a few sips of freshly squeezed tree juice before saying with satisfaction:

"Yes. We found it for you as soon as you applied."

Jinghe immediately threw the Poké Ball.

Four lotus leaf children appeared on the ground.

As a Pokémon bred in the League's breeding center, it wasn't shy at all. After observing for a while, it happily ran towards the pond in the center of the island.

Lotad is a Water/Grass-type floating Pokémon with a blue body and a bright green lotus leaf on its back.

This is a Pokémon that loves clean water and also has a certain ability to purify water. The Lily on its back also has anti-fouling properties, which can reduce dust from entering the pond.

As soon as they entered the pool, the four lotus leaf children floated up leisurely, looking quite satisfied.

Seeing this, Jinghe smiled with satisfaction and looked at Yuanzhi Tianwang again.

"How could such a small matter warrant such a special trip for someone as powerful as you, one of the Four Heavenly Kings?"

Just then, another person squeezed through.

"Teacher Jinghe, save some for me." She said, reaching out to grab a few pieces of flower cake and picking up a glass of tree juice.

"Hey, who are you?" Genji asked.

"Me?" After eating the flower cake, "I'm Da Ye!"

Yuan Zhi looked at the dark-skinned Da Ye, and that somewhat familiar red afro, and instantly understood that Da Ye was doing hard labor for Jing He. His lips twitched as he said:

"Nonsense, Da Ye isn't as handsome as you."

"Really?" Da Ye touched his cheek, believing it to be true, and said, "Hey, I just got a little tanned recently."

Jinghe pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh.

Da Ye has indeed put in a lot of effort these past few days.

Genji, however, was less restrained and burst into laughter, leaving Daye somewhat bewildered.

After laughing, he answered Jing He's earlier question.

"It's not that I made a special trip; it just happened to be nearby."

He paused, then became more serious and said:
"But I'm also here on behalf of the alliance to let you know that preparations are almost complete. Please choose a time as soon as possible and begin."

ready?

The Road to Victory!

Jinghe suddenly realized.

But looking at Genji's even more anxious expression...
Genji, even if we've cleared the "Road to Victory," you still haven't been able to retire.
