Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

finally.

Oreki dismissed Cattleya's outrageous idea with the reason that "too much of a good thing is bad".

Please, young lady, with your current superpowers, if I punch you, you'll probably be asleep for a long time.

After making up her mind, Cattleya felt completely relaxed.

She felt that although the method of breaking wood was a bit violent, it was something she had never tried before, and it was indeed effective.

More importantly...

She realized a hidden benefit to being by Oreki's side.

The other party wasn't afraid of his superpowers going out of control; they could knock him unconscious in a matter of minutes.

That can definitely be considered one's own personal protective umbrella.

I'm ashamed to admit it.

Her ace Pokémon, Gothic, couldn't defeat her when she was completely out of control.

Therefore, she had long ago asked her Pokémon not to stop her when they were out of control, so as not to get accidentally hurt.

of course.

The reason things turned out this way is simply because she didn't bring the Poké Ball with her at all; instead, she sent it to the Pokémon Activity Center at the academy after reporting to the school.

This is her habit.

When she was in Sinnoh, she would leave her Pokémon to roam freely in the villa unless absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, when Oreki was beating her up, Miss Goethe and the others would definitely have come out to stop him.

Although, in most cases, we'll both get beaten up...

therefore.

With Oreki, a super-powerful fighter, by my side, I can stop her in time and minimize the losses.

If she accidentally demolishes Kanaz Academy, losing money is a small matter, but being expelled is a big deal!

Cattleya didn't care at all why Oreki was so good at fighting.

Her superpowers are already unreasonable enough.

Only someone even more unreasonable could control her superpowers.

She felt she had finally figured it out!

however.

There's a saying that goes, "A smile doesn't disappear, it just moves on."

Compared to Cattleya's happiness, Oreki was very sad.

Can anyone tell me why I have a little tagalong following me around?

Even when I go to the toilet, someone squats outside the door!

After lunch.

Oreki finally couldn't hold back and turned to say to Cattleya, who was idly following behind him.

"Don't you think there's something... ambiguous between us?"

"Is there?"

Cattleya tilted her head and thought for a while, then her slender legs under her skirt shifted and pulled back a distance.

She even tripped a little during the process, as if she wasn't very good at walking.

"How about this?"

have to.

This young lady is obedient; she doesn't use her superpowers to travel when told not to, but she completely fails to understand the implied meanings behind the tactful expressions.

"What I mean is, stop following me around all the time. I can help you control your superpowers if you transfer here, but... but you know what I mean?"

"I understand..."

Zhemu nodded: "This child is teachable."

"Huh??"

Oreki, furious: Bullshit!

"I mean, I'm just a history teacher, I have no obligation to take you along all the time!"

After saying that, Oreki quickly looked around, worried that Cattleya would get angry again.

But who knew?

Cattleya patted her bare chest, looking like she was saying, "I knew it, you should have said so earlier."

"I'll pay more."

"You know, I prefer one-on-one teaching to large classes."

From afar, Oreki saw Gadriya take out her phone and open "Pikachu Pikachu," and quickly stepped forward to stop her.

"There should be no middlemen taking a cut."

Jia Deliya exited "PikaPika" and skillfully opened the payment software.

"Does Oreki-sensei want to be rumored to have accepted bribes?"

Oreki's face stiffened for a moment, and he even suspected that this guy was pretending to be stupid, when he clearly knew everything.

"I don't like money, but I need some rare minerals for my research recently, preferably metal ore raw materials."

Originally, he planned to get something for free from Daigo, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

It's going to be too big right now!

Oreki isn't that kind of person.

Just then, another treasure trove of resources, Cattleya, came knocking on our door. Why not take advantage of it?

He'd been craving Monster Hunter weapons for a whole week.

Let's take a look at the katana after some light forging.

By the way, should we ask Ralts if she's willing to use weapons?

Instant teleportation followed by dual sword strikes?

From this perspective, dual swords are not bad either.

"A rare mineral?"

Cattleya nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"I'll go find Devon to buy some."

"?"

The broken tree remained silent.

So, this money has to be given to Dewen to earn?

— "Pikachu" was also developed by Devon Corporation.

...

...

During his lunch break, Oreki lay on a chair, deep in thought.

In her arms was a real-life version of the Xinye Miao doll.

I'm asking online: What should I do if my cat keeps purring?

As for Ralts.

That guy, as expected of a Pokémon that calls itself "this lady," is a perfect match for Cattleya, hitting it off immediately.

He's using his Flame Fist to warm people's feet right now.

She claimed that this way she could train the endurance of her Flame Fist and also bring warmth to others—a win-win situation!

Even Zhemu understands this principle.

The problem is, Hoenn is much warmer than Sinnoh!

Even though it's cold today, Grandma Zhulan didn't feel it when she came.

"It's raining heavily outside today, this will help get rid of the dampness."

As if sensing Oreki's malice, Cattleya offered a sullen explanation.

"If you're physically weak, you're weak. Don't explain."

"..."

Calm down, calm down!

Caldelia took two deep breaths, suppressing her restless superpowers once again.

"Well done."

"I don't need your praise!"

Calm down!

dong dong dong.

A knocking sounded suddenly.

puff--

Cattleya, who was focused on suppressing her superpowers, was instantly overwhelmed.

Ralts reacted quickly, immediately using her psychic powers to create a psychic barrier that blocked the overflowing psychic abilities.

But the sofa under Cattleya's bottom wasn't so lucky; it got a hole popped out of it.

Caldelia's fair face flushed instantly, and she quickly moved to a different spot, using the hem of her long skirt to cover the hole in the sofa.

The broken tree looked up.

First, she glanced at Ralts, who was holding its little face up and not saying a word, but she could tell that it was thinking, "I was right before the future."

Then, glancing at Cattleya, whose face had turned red again, he said, "This is a different price, remember to pay me back," before getting up to speak.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open.

Grand walked in awkwardly.

Even as the director, I felt bad about disturbing someone during their lunch break, especially since the other person was Oreki, who had just caused a blunder that morning.

Upon entering, Grand immediately paused, forcing himself to look straight ahead and avoid glancing at the sofa.

Do not look at what is improper.

At this moment, he was no longer thinking about whether Oreki and Cattleya really knew each other, but rather whether Miss Takeran knew that their relationship was this close.

Her cheeks were flushed, her delicate feet were exposed, and her clothes were disheveled...

Didn't I say "don't look at what you shouldn't see"?

Grange forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "I'm really sorry, Oreki, for disturbing your lunch break."

"It's alright, is there anything you need, Director?" Oreki waved his hand and asked in return.

"That's how it is..."

Grand explained his purpose for coming here in just a few words.

"Should I substitute for a class? Or a battle class??"

Oreki held up the new Leaf Cat in his hand, as if to say, "I'm going to use this to give them a battle lesson."

"Meow meow~"

Xin Ye Miao yawned listlessly.

Although I wanted to refute it, I figured it was better to avoid trouble.

"Ralu!"

Wow! (￣０￣)ノ

Ralts volunteered and raised her hand, but Oreki completely ignored her.

Seeing his hesitation, Grand hesitated for a while before finally making up his mind and speaking through gritted teeth.

"Oreki-sensei, you don't want to be with Cattleya either..."

Not the director? You're from Tokyo?

"Stop! I'm going!"
