Chapter 190 Zi Yu is actually my fan?
"Hey, Teacher Qingyu!!!"

Upon spotting Qingyu in the distance, Nemo, who was chatting with a pink-clad girl whose back was to her, immediately became excited and waved to him from afar with a smile.

As Nemo spoke, the girl next to her quickly turned around.

Qingyu's gaze froze for a moment as she looked in that direction.

Senior Ziyu? How come she's in Beishang Township?
Wait a minute, according to the current timeline, she should be like Nemo, not having officially enrolled in Blueberry Academy yet, right?

It would feel really strange if I called her "senior sister" now.

"Nemo, you've come to Beishang Township for tourism too?"

"Yes! Since my parents aren't coming home for the Lunar New Year this year, I decided to come to Beishang Township for a vacation with my friends!"

Nemo quickly jogged over to Qingyu and Zhulan. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Qingyu, she quickly turned her gaze to Zhulan, her eyes instantly transforming into those of a devoted fan.

"Hey, Sister Zhulan, we meet again~"

"What a coincidence, Nemo."

Zhu Lan smiled gently. She also had a good impression of this energetic, enthusiastic, and cheerful apprentice at Qingyu Dojo.

Furthermore, Nemo seems to be striving to emulate her status as a champion, and under Qingyu's guidance, she is preparing to challenge for the Padia Championship.

There shouldn't be anyone in this world who doesn't like someone who has goals and is willing to work hard for them, right?

Qingyu was also staring at Nemo.

Come to think of it, Nemo's parents and sister never actually appear in the game's storyline; they only exist in Nemo's narration.

As the owners of Rotom Mobile, her parents must be very busy, right?
This is why Nemo, who was raised in a free-range environment, developed a personality that Peony jokingly describes as "doing things her own way"...

Just as he was pondering this, Zi Yu, who had been chatting with Nemo by the roadside, quickly came over.

"Hello, Ms. Yu and Ms. Zhu Lan."

After giving a cute smile, Zi Yu took the initiative to greet the two of them.

It was only then that Nemo belatedly realized that Ziyu, who had been traveling with her, was still behind her.

"Teacher Qingyu, this is my good friend Ziyu, from the Unova region beyond the ocean!"

"Hello, Miss Ziyu."

After Nemo introduced her, Qingyu nodded and greeted her.

Although he had known her for a long time and even ran into her in the game yesterday, the proper procedures still had to be followed.

"Just call me Ziyu."

Zi Yu winked playfully, then turned her head to look at Qing Yu.

"Actually, I'm also a fan of Teacher Yu. I was even lucky enough to be matched with Teacher Yu yesterday."

"..."

Qingyu immediately broke out in a sweat.

How could he not know that? Yesterday, the first opponent of the cowardly tactic was Ziyu!
The very next day, he ran into the victim offline and learned that she was actually a fan of his, and therefore knew that his opponent from the previous day was him...

Senior Ziyu is actually my fan?
Oh no, this is going to be real again!
"Although it's unpleasant to be an opponent, it's really impressive that Teacher Yu can come up with such a... well-thought-out tactic."

Seeing that Qingyu's expression seemed a bit serious, Ziyu quickly spoke up again.

"By the way, Teacher Qingyu might not know this, but Ziyu's father is also a gym leader!"

Nemo suddenly seemed to remember something, clapped her hands, and immediately spoke.

"Ziyu's dad is really amazing too, he's from Homba City in the Unova region... mmm!"

Nemo was only halfway through her sentence when Ziyu, whose cheeks instantly turned red, covered her mouth from behind, leaving her only able to stammer.

"Ugh, don't reveal my personal information without my permission! I don't think that's right!"

Even after releasing Nemo, Ziyu's face was still a little flushed. She shyly crossed her arms in front of her, pouting slightly as she whispered a complaint to Nemo. So cute.

Qingyu, who had witnessed the entire interaction between the two, quickly smiled.

Just as Qingyu was about to say something to liven up the atmosphere a bit more, he noticed a familiar face not far away, through the gazes of Nemo and Ziyu.

"Brother Qingyu, and Nemo, so you guys came to Beishang Township too?"

Pipa quickly came into view, and greeted everyone with a cheerful smile.

"I noticed that Qingyu isn't in Padiya anymore. I just heard that there's a really good sticky rice cake dish in Beishang Township, so I'm planning to come and learn how to make it for a few days."

"I never expected to run into you here. It must be fate!"

"Yes, I think so too!"

Nemo nodded repeatedly, a bright smile spreading across her face.

"One thing to say, one thing to say, indeed."

Even Qingyu felt the same way.

Is it the bond between the main characters, or the inertia of fate...?

He couldn't help but complain to himself that this trip to the countryside in the north had turned into a group tour.

It's a pity that the main character and Peony are missing; otherwise, the main character group would not only be full, but also include Senior Sister Ziyu, the only designated cute girl from the Blue Disc DLC.

"Since we're so destined to meet, then..."

As Qingyu was feeling sentimental, she noticed that Nemo suddenly reached out her hand and looked at her with burning eyes.

"How about we have a match?"

"Teacher Qingyu, my Budope has evolved into Babutope! It's super strong now!"

"So please accept my challenge once again on your path to the championship!"

After Nemo finished speaking her mind, her eyes, filled with an almost tangible expectation, stared intently at Qingyu.

"..."

How could I forget that Nemo is essentially a battle maniac, someone who can't stop talking about battles.

The Sunshine Dojo has been closed for a while, so she can't use her status as a dojo apprentice to welcome challengers. She must be itching to get back to work.

But that's fine too, since Eevee has evolved into Sylveon and needs a real battle to experience its new power.

Qingyu sighed and nodded helplessly.

"Of course, but let's put the battle on hold for now."

"It's lunchtime now, let me invite you all to have lunch together."

As a mature and reliable gym leader and older brother, he is not a reckless battle maniac like Nemo.

Eating is the most important thing!

As if sensing Qingyu's thoughts, a Poké Ball in the pocket shook slightly a few times.

Milnerton thought it was awesome!
……

As the core of Padiyah's carefully developed tourism industry, Verdant Town, though small in size, has all the necessary facilities.

Even the "Top Fresh" seafood restaurant that I tried with Zhu Lan in Zhudao City last time has opened a branch here, and it seems to be doing quite well.

Before even entering the store, Qingyu saw the figure of a blonde loli again through the window.

"..."

He believed everyone else's claim that it was a coincidence, but he couldn't believe it at all!
