Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 44 Returning to the Farm

"I understand, Uncle Qianli, but I still hope to come back and spar with you again after I've improved my skills further!"

After hearing Chisato's words, Rina Usui realized that she had been too demanding. However, she still hoped to have a battle with Chisato's "Sick Leave King" in the future to make up for today's regret.

"Rina, your personality is exactly like your mother's—both so serious and love challenges. You're always welcome here; you can take on any challenge you want whenever you want!"

Qianli smiled helplessly and then said.

Chiba Kaede, who was standing next to her, then realized that Usui Rina's mother and Chiri were friends, and their relationship was quite close.

"You've finished your challenge at the Petalburg Gym. Would you like to come over to my house for lunch?"

Qianli said to the two of them.

"I won't bother you any longer, Mr. Senri. I've been away from my farm for a long time and I'd like to go back as soon as possible!"

Chiba Kaede politely declined.

He knew that Chisato had actually invited Rina Usui, since he was just a challenger and not very familiar with Chisato, so he declined directly.

"And you, Rina, if your Aunt Mitsuko knew you were coming to visit, she would be so happy, wouldn't she?"

Seeing that Chiba Kaede had declined her invitation, Chiri simply nodded and then continued to ask Usui Rina.

"Alright then, we'll have to bother you, Uncle Qianli. Xiaofeng and I will go to the Pokémon Center first, and I'll come back to visit you later."

Rina Usui did miss Aunt Mitsuko, and she felt that it was rather impolite of her to come and challenge the Petalburg Gym without visiting her.

"That's wonderful! You guys go and treat the elf first. I'll tell Mitsuko about this good news."

After Qianli finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Let's go then!"

Chiba Kaede said to Usui Rina.

Afterwards, the two went to the Pokémon Center and handed over the injured Pokémon to Nurse Joy for treatment.

Chiba Kaede originally intended to use his ability to heal, but with Usui Rina present, he couldn't act too strangely.

We can only wait until we get back to find an opportunity to treat the Great Swallow and the others. After all, today's battle was indeed very intense, and their injuries are not light, especially Heracross, who can be said to have fought to the very end.

However, the more this happens, the greater their strength increases after being nourished by Chiba Maple's life energy. After all, Slaking from Senri is truly terrifying, putting immense pressure on the Pokémon.

"Are you going back after you finish treating the giant swallows?"

While waiting for treatment, Rina Usui asked.

"That's what I'm planning. After all, I've been away for over half a month, and I wonder how the farm is doing now!"

Chiba Kaede answered truthfully.

"That's such a pity. I was thinking of letting the forest lizard challenge your Great Swallow after it recovered."

Rina Usui said regretfully.

"There will be opportunities in the future, and I might even participate in this year's Ayame Tournament, then we'll have a chance to compete on the same stage."

Chiba Kaede knew that Usui Rina had already obtained 4 gym badges, and with her strength, she would definitely be able to obtain 8 gym badges before the start of the Rainbow Tournament.

"That's wonderful! You absolutely have to come! If you don't, I promise I'll never talk to you again!"

Rina Susui threatened.

"Alright, alright, I'll do my best. After all, there are only a little over six months left until the tournament starts, and I've only earned one gym badge so far. Time is indeed a bit tight!"

Chiba Kaede felt that he had only mentioned that one sentence, and now he was in a very difficult position. (New 69 Bookstore)

"Hmph, with your Swellow and your strength, how could you possibly be too late? I'll consider this a promise between us. If you don't participate in the Rainbow Tournament, I will absolutely not forgive you!"

Rina Usui directly countered the reason Chiba Kaede had given, leaving him no way to refuse.

Chiba Kaede felt like he'd been tricked. Given his tendency to procrastinate, if he hadn't told Usui Rina about it, he might have missed the Ayaka Tournament because of other things. Now, it had become a promise to Usui Rina, which left him speechless.

"It seems I'll still have to participate in this year's Ayame Tournament. I wonder what kind of ranking I'll get?"

Chiba Kaede thought to himself.

Ash was eliminated in the top 8 of this tournament, and Kaede Chiba also wanted to know what level he was at.

The champion of this year's Saiyu Tournament was Tetsuya, who defeated Ash. As for the other champions, Chiba Kaede didn't know, so he also didn't know what ranking Rina Usui would achieve in this year's Saiyu Tournament.

"Well then, goodbye, Rina!"

By this time, Chiba Kaede and his companions had finished treating their spirits. After saying goodbye to Rina Usui, he planned to ride the Great Swallow back to Chiba Farm.

Goodbye, Xiaofeng, don't forget your promise!

Rina Usui added this last sentence.

"I won't forget!"

After saying that, Chiba Kaede quickly made the Great Swallow take off, flying directly towards Chunhua Town at a very fast speed.

Sitting on the back of the Great Swellow, Chiba Kaede took stock of his gains from the trip. First, he had unexpectedly caught three Shuckles, and then he had bought four Miltank Pokémon eggs from Maki Yoshihiko. After that, he obtained his first Gym Badge in this world.

Chiba Kaede felt that her trip had been worthwhile and that she had gained a lot.

The giant swallow flew for about two hours before arriving at Gumei Town.

Chiba Kaede planned to rest in Gumei Town for one night before returning. After all, even the Great Swallow had almost exhausted its strength after carrying him for such a long distance and needed a good night's rest.

However, this efficiency is indeed much better than walking on his own two legs. If he were to walk, it would take him a week to reach this place.

"Miss Joey, hello, I'd like to check in."

Chiba Kaede had Swellow stop right in front of the Pokémon Center, recalled it into its Poké Ball, and then went inside to speak with Nurse Joy.

"It's you, Xiao Feng! Welcome back to our Gumei Town!"

Although Chiba Maple only stayed in Maple Town for one night, Nurse Joy still recognized him. After all, Officer Jenny awarded him the Honorary Resident Badge at the Pokémon Center, and Nurse Joy was one of the witnesses.

"Yes, Miss Joey, I'm on my way back and would like to rest here in Gumei Town for the night before continuing my journey tomorrow morning."

Chiba Kaede explained to Miss Joey with a smile.

After completing the formalities, Chiba Kaede rested in his room until dinner time, as the battle with Chiri had greatly exhausted him.

Afterwards, Chiba Kaede returned to the same restaurant and enjoyed a delicious meal with her spirit companion.

Nothing was said that night.

In the early morning, after saying goodbye to Miss Joey, Chiba Kaede rode his Great Swallow back home. After all, he didn't know many people in the town. Although he knew Miss Junsa from Gumei Town, the two were not familiar with each other.

"I'm back!"

Chiba Kaede pushed open his front door and then spoke.

"Welcome back, boss!"

Terada Yuri and Takemoto Yui were overjoyed when they saw their boss coming back.

It was only then that Chiba Kaede realized that Terada Yuri and Takemoto Yui were using the fruit mixer to make energy cubes.

"Are you making energy cubes? Did I disturb you?"

Chiba Kaede walked up to them, looked at the still-rotating fruit mixer, and said.

"No, I'm already proficient at using the Berry Mixer to make Power Blocks, so I'm not afraid of being disturbed. Besides, I'm teaching Yui how to make Power Blocks right now!"

Terada Yuri said with a smile.

"Oh, that's good too. If Yui can learn it, you won't have to work so hard!"

Chiba Kaede was very happy that Takemoto Yui had such ambition.

The main reason is that if she can learn to make energy cubes, then the production of energy cubes at their Chiba Farm will definitely increase significantly. In addition to using them themselves, they might also be able to sell some and generate some income.

"By the way, aren't Yuta and Akiko here?"

Chiba Kaede looked around but didn't find the two of them, so she asked.

"Yuta took Akiko to the orchard. After finishing his work, Yuta likes to go there to interact with the Turtle Swallows, hoping to gain their approval. Akiko doesn't like staying indoors, so she went with him."

"So that's how it is. Haven't the Pride Swallows laid any elf eggs during this time?"

Chiba Kaede continued to ask.

"According to Yuta, several Swellow eggs have been laid. However, the Swellows do not allow us to touch them, and they are guarding the eggs very closely."

Terada Yuri said helplessly that although she could command these Toughspins to do some things, it didn't seem to include taking away their Pokémon eggs.
