Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 14 Yuri Terada

"Miss Officer Jenny, I'm here!"

The day after Chiba Kaede asked Officer Jenny for help, he arrived at the police station right after lunch. It was the time he and Officer Jenny had agreed upon; he came regardless of the outcome. 🍓☮ ❻➈ᔕĤ𝓤𝐗.Ć๏𝐦 🐲✎

"You've come at the right time! I've taken care of everything you asked me to do!"

When Miss Officer Jenny saw Chiba Kaede walk in, she immediately spoke up.

"Really? Miss Officer Jenny, you're amazing! You got it done so quickly!"

Chiba Kaede was indeed surprised; she hadn't expected Officer Jenny to be so efficient.

"What's this? You actually helped me out!"

Miss Officer Jenny smiled mysteriously.

"Oh, how so?"

"I won't tell you yet. Let me tell you first that your Fire Stone has been tested by professionals and is of good quality. A buyer is offering 15 Alliance Coins to buy it. What do you think?"

Chiba Kaede was also a little surprised that it could sell for this price!

According to what he knew, the price of Fire Stones ranged from 5 to 20 Alliance Coins. The reason for such a large price fluctuation was mainly determined by the quality of the Fire Stones.

The higher the quality of the evolution stone, the more it helps the Pokémon evolve, and therefore the more expensive it is.

The fact that it can sell for 15 Alliance Coins proves that this Fire Stone is at least of superior quality, but it is just an ordinary one among superior quality stones.

"I'm already very happy to have sold it for this price, why would I have any objections?"

Chiba Kaede said honestly.

"Alright, I'll buy your Fire Stone!"

Officer Jenny smiled at Chiba Kaede and then spoke. (New 60 Bookstore →)

"Oh, Miss Officer Jenny, please don't try to inflate the price of my Fire Stone, or I won't sell it to you!"

Upon hearing that it was Officer Jenny who wanted to buy the Fire Stone, Chiba Kaede assumed that Officer Jenny wanted to help him, which was why she was offering such a high price for his Fire Stone.

"Xiao Feng, don't be surprised. I'm not doing this to help you. I bought the Fire Stone to evolve my Growlithe. If your Fire Stone isn't of superior quality, I won't buy it."

"I've wanted a high-grade fire stone for a long time, you've really helped me out!"

Upon hearing Officer Jenny's words, Chiba Kaede realized that Officer Jenny's signature Pokémon was Growlithe.

These spirits are extremely loyal to their trainers, brave and reliable, and have an exceptionally keen sense of smell, making them an ideal choice for police dogs.

Growlithe needs a Fire Stone to evolve into Arcanine, a powerful Pokémon with a base stat total of 555.

"Alright then, I'm happy to help you, Miss Officer Jenny."

Unless Officer Jenny deliberately offered him an inflated price to acquire the Fire Stone, Chiba Kaede could accept the deal.

Subsequently, Officer Jenny immediately transferred 15 Alliance Coins to Chiba Kaede, completing the Fire Stone transaction.

After completing the transaction, Chiba Kaede breathed a sigh of relief, since he had already spent almost all of his Alliance Coins.

"Hello, Officer Jenny, I'm here!"

At this moment, a tall and beautiful girl walked in. Judging from her appearance, she was about 15 or 6 years old.

"Yuri, you've come at the perfect time! I was just about to introduce you to Kaede!"

Miss Officer Jenny was clearly familiar with the girl; the two shared a casualness that only acquaintances would have.

"This is the employee I'm introducing to you. Her name is Terada Yuri. She's an orphan from the town's orphanage, 15 years old, and she's looking for a job raising spirits."

"Since you were looking for someone to take care of your Mare, I told her. Yuri was also interested, so I had her come over to meet you today."

Ms. Officer Jenny briefly introduced Terada Yuri's situation and Chiba Kaede's situation.

"Hello, Ms. Terada Yuri, my name is Chiba Kaede, you can call me Kaede-chan."

Chiba Kaede greeted Terada Yuri with a smile.

"Hello, Xiaofeng, you can just call me Youli. My dream is to become a Pokémon breeder."

"Before, while I was in the orphanage, I didn't have many opportunities to interact with Pokémon, but I read a lot of books about Pokémon breeding."

Terada Yuri introduced herself to Chiba Kaede in a very open and generous manner. When she talked about becoming a Pokémon breeder, her eyes seemed to light up, clearly showing that she really loved the profession of Pokémon breeder.

"I have no objection to hiring Ms. Yuri, but there are some things I need to make clear in advance."

My farm is just starting out, so I can only offer you 3000 Alliance Coins per month. Also, my farm is located in the wild, which carries some risks. You need to consider these factors carefully.

Chiba Kaede was quite satisfied with Terada Yuri, but he still needed to explain the situation of his farm to her clearly, otherwise it would be a waste of time to hire someone else if she was not satisfied later.

"I have no objection, but I have a small request: could you please help me capture a starter Pokémon?"

Terada Yuri was somewhat embarrassed when she mentioned her request.

"Of course, that's no problem. My farm is right next to Petalburg Woods, so I can take you there to catch a starter Pokémon."

Chiba Kaede had no objection to Terada Yuri's request; even if she hadn't mentioned it, he would have asked her to capture a spirit.

Later, there will inevitably be times when Terada Yuri is alone on the farm. If wild spirits appear at this time, she will need spirits to defend against and drive away the invading spirits.

"Since you've all agreed, let's sign the contract!"

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Ms. Jenny took out the contract she had prepared and asked them to sign it.

After signing the employment contract, Terada Yuri officially became a member of Chiba Farm.

Chiba Kaede and she agreed to meet at the Pokémon Center the next morning and then head to Chiba Farm.

Now that her wallet is a little fuller, Chiba Kaede has started a new round of shopping.

First, he purchased a generator set, along with some matching lights, sockets, and other products, since he also needed electricity to charge his phone.

This power generation device can generate electricity by foot pedal and can also be charged using an electric-type Pokémon.

There aren't many electrical appliances in Chiba Kaede's room right now. If it's just for lighting and charging a phone, half an hour of foot massage is enough, and it can also be considered a form of exercise.

After Mareep grows out of its infancy, it will no longer need to generate electricity by pedaling, which is a unique way of generating electricity in the Pokémon world.

Then, another batch of Moo Moo milk was purchased. That's right, Chiba Kaede ordered 10 more Mare Elves from Nozawa Breeding House.

He had already saved Nozawa Breeding House's business card, so now he can just call and make a reservation.

In this way, apart from the oddly colored Mare sheep, Chiba Farm now has 15 Mare sheep. Once they start producing wool, they can bring in a considerable income every week.

For now, Chiba Kaede only plans to raise this many Mare sheep; if there are more, Terada Yuri might not be able to take care of them all.

After all, elves are not like the cattle and horses raised in my previous life. They are quite intelligent, and if they are not satisfied with their living environment, they will run away.

As for forcibly detaining elves, if it is discovered, not only will the elves be confiscated, but the person will also be imprisoned and forced to eat from the same pot.

Finally, Chiba Kaede went to the supermarket and bought enough food to complete her shopping trip.

The next morning, when Chiba Kaede arrived at the Pokémon Center lobby, she found Terada Yuri already standing there waiting with a package in her hand.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Chiba Kaede quickly stepped forward and apologized.

"No, I'm just too early, boss!"

Terada Yuri did arrive half an hour earlier than the time they had agreed upon.

Then, Chiba Kaede put Terada Yuri's package into his spatial backpack, which immediately filled up the backpack.

Fortunately, the store will help deliver the power generation equipment and Moo Moo milk to the farm; otherwise, his space backpack simply wouldn't be able to hold them all.

The two walked for about two hours before arriving at Chiba Farm.

However, to Chiba Kaede's surprise, Terada Yuri did not complain after walking for such a long time, and she also had good stamina and did not ask Chiba Kaede to stop and rest.

"Yuri, you have pretty good stamina!"

If you have any questions, just ask. Chiba Kaede directly voiced her doubts.

"When I was in the orphanage, I often took my younger siblings to run all over the mountains and fields. This distance was nothing to me."

When talking about her younger siblings, a hint of tenderness seemed to flash in Terada Yuri's eyes.

Chiba Kaede knew that Terada Yuri grew up in an orphanage and was afraid of some taboo, so she never asked about her situation in the orphanage. Now it seems that she was not lonely in the orphanage.

Your support is my motivation to create!
