Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"Let me see..."

Before she could even take out the Poké Ball, Sirin's voice suddenly rang out from not far away.

"Kiana, Mei~"

With her long purple hair swaying, Xilin jogged over to join them.

Squirtle followed leisurely behind her, while she held an incredibly cute light green cat in her arms, showing it off to Kiana and Mei as if to flaunt it.

"Look, my new partner, New Leaf Cat!"

"So cute~"

Mei's eyes lit up immediately, and she leaned closer, cautiously extending her hand.

Shin-chan kindly rubbed against Mei's hand; this human had a very pleasant scent.

But when Kiana curiously reached out her hand, Shin-chan turned her head away without giving her any face, jumped down, and wouldn't even let her touch her.

"Huh? Why won't you let me touch you?"

"Oh dear, maybe Meow Meow doesn't like idiots~" Sirin shrugged and laughed mockingly.

"Who are you calling an idiot?!"

"Whoever's in a hurry wins!"

"You!!! It's not like we don't have new Pokémon!!"

Kiana gave an angry snort and immediately took a new Poké Ball out of her bag.

"Ha, you? You didn't just grab a walking grass...?"

A flash of white light appeared, and a small hedgehog with a green back and a pink flower on its head looked around with bewildered eyes, as if it hadn't yet realized its current situation. Xilin's voice stopped abruptly the moment she saw the hedgehog.

'Shaymin, Grass-type, Mythical Pokémon.......'

"Huh?????? Mythical Pokémon??????"

Chapter 110 Kiana: I suspect Sirin has someone she likes!

【? ? ? 】

[Wait, how come someone can catch a mythical beast on the very first day?]

Is this reasonable?

[I thought the pufferfish's luck was already unmatched, but who is this subordinate of?]

The live streamers who hadn't closed yet saw this scene just like Xilin, and immediately their screens were filled with question marks.

Mythical Pokémon, in the lore, are on par with Legendary Pokémon, rare and powerful. Moreover, Shaymin's cute and timid appearance instantly captured the hearts of tough guys.

"I...I...I don't know either?!"

Kiana was also stunned, staring in astonishment at the incredibly cute little hedgehog.

She really just threw the ball randomly; who knew she'd catch a mythical beast?

"Mi~"

Shaymy took two steps back, raised its head and let out a small cry. It shrank back and looked weakly at the three humans who had surrounded it.

"Sigh~"

If this were an animated film, the three girls would probably be beaming with love at this point.

"so cute!!"

Kiana was overjoyed. She crouched down, smiled broadly, and reached out to touch Shaymi. But Shaymi quickly jumped aside, looking at her with wary eyes.

She finally managed to escape the flowerbed, but before she could even take two steps, she was suddenly caught. Shemi is still completely bewildered.

"let me!"

Seeing that Kiana was rejected, Sirin swung her arms and cautiously approached her.

Similarly, without even glancing at them, Shemi once again fled to the side, hiding behind Mei amidst the two people's puzzled gazes.

This human felt warm and had a pleasant scent, making Shaymi instinctively want to get closer and seek shelter.

"Mi~"

Mei raised her head and called out softly, then immediately bent down and gave Shaymi a gentle smile.

"Be good~"

She reached out her hand, and this time Shami didn't dodge; instead, she quite enjoyed being touched by Mei.

Kiana: "?"

Looking at this harmonious scene, Kiana felt that something was amiss.

Isn't this Pokémon hers? Why is it getting closer to Mei instead?

For some reason, a bitter feeling, akin to that of a victim of the Minotaur, welled up in Kiana's heart.

On the other side, Sirin, who had been feeling a bit sour, immediately burst out laughing when she saw this scene. She nudged Kiana and asked with a smile, "How does it feel?"

"What do you mean? I don't feel anything. Isn't it a good thing that my Pokémon is close to Mei?"

Kiana's behavior, like a victim unwilling to admit being wronged and frantically defended, made Sirin burst out laughing.

After a while of commotion, Sirin turned off the live stream, and Kiana recalled Shaymin, who had lowered his guard somewhat, into his Poké Ball.

"Let's go. It's a pity that Seele and the others can't come with us this time."

"Let's get together again at the end of the month. If you want to see fireworks, I can arrange it."

Mei casually uttered the words befitting a wealthy woman, then patted Kiana's somewhat dejected head.

"Yay, Mei's the best~"

Seeing Kiana's childlike, rapidly changing emotions, Mei smiled and shook her head.

"Then let's go. Shall we go to the same place we were at last year?"

"Yes, I've already made an appointment in advance."

Mei and Kiana walked side by side ahead. As they approached the festival, Kiana suddenly turned around and grabbed Sirin's arm: "This time, I won't let you get lost again!"

Xilin paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "What are you thinking? Last time was just an accident. Besides, didn't he find me?"

"You mean Ayu? It's a pity he couldn't come this time."

Kiana said with a hint of regret.

"Yes, he didn't come."

Sirin's voice suddenly softened, and she gently pulled away from Kiana's hand, stopping in her tracks.

"Celine?"

Kiana and Mei stopped in their tracks, puzzled, and turned to look at her.

"You guys go ahead, I have somewhere I want to go, so I won't be going with you."

Turning her head to look at the street next door, Xilin's voice carried a hint of reminiscence.

"Hey?"

Kiana was stunned, then quickly said, "But, you..."

Before Kiana could finish speaking, Sirin interrupted her, raising her hand and shaking her phone: "Don't worry, my phone is perfectly fine this time, and the AR glasses work too."

Without waiting for Kiana's response, Sirin quickly blended into another stream of people.

Kiana and Mei were left staring at each other, completely bewildered.

The fireworks display was about to begin, and the crowds once again converged in the same direction.

It's the same stall as last year, in the same location.

She stood by the roadside, her eyes glazed over as she watched the flow of people passing by, just as she had last year.

Unfortunately, when the crowd completely dispersed, she never heard the voice that had found her last year.

boom! !

Brilliant fireworks burst in the sky, their fleeting brilliance painting a magnificent picture against the night sky, vibrant and enchanting.

Just as Xilin was a little distracted, the same uncle at the roadside stall, who was the same one as last year, suddenly spoke up: "Little girl, you're still here this year."

"Huh? Hmm."

Xilin paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded at him. She didn't intend to say anything more, but the stall owner asked again, "Where's that young man from last year? That song was really great, but I can't find it anywhere after that. Didn't he come this time? I wanted to hear him sing it again."

After saying that, he hummed a couple of lines of a tune that remained in his memory.

"He went to another city and hasn't come back this year."

"That's such a shame."

"Yes, it's such a pity..."

Xilin opened her phone, held it high, as if the sky on the screen connected with reality, and looked at the boy playing guitar under the fireworks. For a moment, her thoughts became a little hazy.

With the passage of time, beautiful memories often become even more precious.

As if possessed, she tapped a few times on her phone and opened a recording from a year ago.

Held to his ear, the sound was noisy, but the clear guitar notes and the boy's singing began to flow out slowly.

Last year's song paired with this year's fireworks; Xilin stood there for a long time, waiting until the fireworks had burned out before leaving.

"Where have you been?"

The fireworks display ended, and it was time to leave. As soon as Sirin met up with Mei and the others, Kiana asked a question in confusion.

"There's something I want to eat at that stall over there, so I went over there. Do you want some?"

As she spoke, Sirin handed the bag she was carrying to Kiana; it contained the fried noodles that the uncle had made earlier.

"Oh, thank you!"
