My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 98 Eight Teeth Sunbathing

The short-haired female customer covered her mouth in surprise, while the bespectacled male customer widened his eyes at the same time.

"Yes, I think I saw it too!"

"Nyan, hurry up! Smile again so I can see!"

"Meow—." Meow frowned, seemingly trying to control its superpowers.

I never imagined I'd be so careless, letting the delicious food break down my defenses.

"Hey, Meow-jun, smile one more time, okay~"

The female customer picked up Miao Miao immediately, her face beaming with an uncontrollable smile.

"Meow!" Miao Miao kept her expression under control, but a hint of shyness could be heard in her tone.

She stretched out her little paw and gently pushed the female customer's face as she leaned in, seemingly complaining about the other woman's overreaching behavior. But her gaze involuntarily drifted to the half-eaten Bao Fen beside her.

Even though she was trying hard to tell herself not to eat that stuff anymore, she couldn't help it! It just smelled so good!

My body was completely out of my control; I opened my mouth on my own!

"Meow~"

Miao Miao took the rest of the food into her mouth and chewed it with a "blank expression".

This adorable little face, where she was clearly happy but trying so hard to hold back her emotions, was found incredibly cute by Tong Hua and the two guests.

"Alright, alright, stop teasing it." The male customer smiled, his eyes filled with the joy of seeing his partner's rare reaction.

"It seems the desserts here are indeed delicious. Boss, please pack some more of these bacon for us, and some of the other recommended ones as well."

"Of course, no problem!" Tong Hua replied with a smile, and worked with Foam Squirrel to quickly start packing.

"Besides the Happy Bo Fun cakes, the freshly baked strawberry cream cakes and berry tarts are also very popular."

In the end, the two guests left satisfied, carrying several large bags full of desserts, having spent several thousand Union Coins in total.

Before leaving, they thanked Tong Hua repeatedly and said they would definitely recommend the place to their friends.

After seeing off the first group of interesting guests, Tong Hua looked at the empty spaces in the display case and breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned to the foam squirrel on his shoulder and the messenger bird beside him and said, "Looks like our desserts are very popular! Keep up the good work and restock!"

"Trembling!" The foam squirrel waved its little paws with great enthusiasm.

"Chirp!" The messenger bird nodded seriously, flapped its wings on its chest, and seemed to have completely integrated into the Happy Dessert Shop.

"I don't know if these materials are enough. It seems I'll have to increase the number of Pokémon."

Large milk tanks are the top priority; one tank can produce 20 liters of fresh milk per day.

Then you need to buy a small milk tea bar so you don't have to make your own cream.

"Pfft, if I'd known the dessert shop would be this popular, I should have bought it from Grandpa Yang yesterday."

While planning for the future, Tong Hua kept working with the foam squirrel and messenger bird to speed up the production of the next batch of desserts.

The kitchen was once again filled with an enticing aroma.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

The two people and one cat who left Fairy Tale Ranch did not head towards Chicory Village, but instead turned west.

That's the back mountain of Fairy Tale Ranch; you can see the sea at the end of the mountain.

After confirming that no one was around, the man took off his sunglasses, and at the same time, removed the disguise from his face.

"It's so good that we stopped by here on our way, Machiavelli."

"Yes, handsome uncle." The short-haired woman smiled and looked at the expressionless cat in her arms.

"I don't know how long this mission will last. I just tried some food at this restaurant, and it's really delicious."

"I wish the owner could open a coffee shop in Miaret; this kind of dessert should be paired with a cappuccino."

"Anyway, let's prioritize the mission. Our beautiful girl and handsome boy duo can't fail!"

"Meow!" Miao Miao meowed in dissatisfaction.

"Oh right, it should be a trio of beautiful girl, cat, and handsome guy."

"What? Why am I listed last?"

"Meow!" Meow flicked its tail, giving off a "that's more like it" look, but still tried to maintain a poker face, though a faint smile seemed to flicker deep in its eyes.

She carefully used her superpowers to control the bags full of desserts, preventing them from shaking.

"Okay, stop fooling around."

The man who had been called "handsome" regained his serious expression, although there was still a bit of cream residue on the corner of his mouth from when he was tasting the food.

It slightly damaged his professional image.

His true identity is actually an Interpol agent; "Handsome Guy" is just his code name, and Maggie is his assistant.

The two of them used to run a "Handsome Detective Agency" in the city of Miare in the Carlos region. It was during that time that Machiavel, an abandoned child, met the handsome man and gradually grew into his assistant.

"According to intelligence, there have been suspicious energy fluctuations in this area recently, very similar to the technology used by 'that organization' before."

"What exactly is that organization—the remnants of Team Flare—trying to do?"

"We don't know, that's why we need to investigate. Other officers from the Patrolman Alliance are already handling the coordination, so let's just stay here and do our job."

The handsome man wiped his mouth, reverting to his usual professional and reliable demeanor.

"But then again, Meow-chan's smile was so beautiful just now, can I see it again?"

"Meow!"

Miao Miao immediately and precisely slapped the handsome guy's face with her little paw, covering his mischievous smile as he tried to get closer. The force was just right, expressing her dissatisfaction without actually hurting him.

"Oh dear, how fierce!"

The handsome man gripped his hand, feigning grievance, but his eyes were full of laughter.

Of course he knew when to stop. If he teased her too much, the next time he went back, Meow Meow might "accidentally" use her superpowers to replace his coffee with something else.

"That handsome uncle is really something... But I also really like seeing Miao Rong's smile. Hehe—"

As Machiavel spoke, she suddenly burst into laughter.

That bright, toothy smile made the handsome man's calm heart skip a beat, just like the smile he had seen in the alleys of Miarey before.

Ever since he saw her smile, the handsome man vowed to protect this girl and take care of her as his own daughter.

One day, Maggie will become the second director of the Handsome Detective Agency.

Before that, he must ensure that she and Miao Miao can grow up safely and smoothly until they have enough ability and wisdom to face the light and shadow of this world.

This mission is an opportunity for her to hone her skills.

"cough."

The handsome man released Miao Miao's paw, coughed lightly again, carefully putting away the tender feelings that belonged to an elder, and put on the calm coat of an international policeman once more.

"Alright, that's really enough with the fuss this time. Let's get going. We need to finish investigating this entire area by today."

Machiavel immediately got into character, her expression turning serious: "Yes!"

"Meow." Miao Miao also meowed expressionlessly, but the smile hidden in her eyes was keenly caught by the other two.

She secretly used her superpowers to take a Baofen (a type of toy) out of the bag and started chewing on it.

"Meow~"

This time, both the handsome guy and Maggie saw it clearly.

Seeing the incredibly happy smile on Miao Miao's face.
