Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 53 The Big Milk Tank's Grievance

"Hello, is this Professor Birch?"

After Officer Jenny left, Chiba Kaede used the contact information she had given her to contact Professor Birch directly.

"Yes, may I ask who you are?"

Dr. Odori across from him was clearly puzzled.

"Hello, my name is Chiba Kaede. The League has asked me to come to you to pick up a starter Pokémon egg and a Pokédex. When can I go to pick it up?"

Chiba Kaede asked directly.

"So you're Xiao Feng! It's true, you can come and pick it up anytime!"

Dr. Oda Birch probably only received this notification recently, so she still has a strong impression of this matter and remembered it immediately.

"Okay, I'll get there as soon as possible. Sorry to bother you!"

After confirming with the other party, Chiba Kaede hung up the call.

Plans can't keep up with changes. Chiba Kaede had already planned his travel route, but because of the league's rewards, he needed to replan it.

The first thing to do is definitely to go to Littleroot Town to get the starter Pokémon eggs. After all, things can change in the meantime, and getting the starter Pokémon eggs sooner means you can start training them sooner. These are definitely the future main Pokémon!

The reason for this is that the starter Pokémon have been trained by the League for many years and have excellent aptitude, making them highly likely to inherit powerful skills.

"Phew, I'm so full!"

After finishing lunch, Chiba Kaede patted his stomach contentedly, feeling that Terada Yuri's cooking skills had improved again.

"Xiao Feng, there's something I need to discuss with you!"

Rie Uchino said to Kaede Chiba with a serious expression.

"Oh, Grandma Uchino, just tell me what's on your mind."

Seeing that Rie Uchino looked very serious, Chiba Kaede quickly straightened his posture and pretended to listen to her teachings.

"Here's the thing, the Alliance gave us some compensation, right? I'm planning to use that money to build another house next door as our residence. What do you think?"

Rie Uchino asked.

"If you want to build another house, you don't need to use your money; I will pay for it."

Chiba Kaede said casually.

The houses built in Chunhua Town are generally wooden houses. Since the surrounding forests make it easy to obtain materials, the cost of building the houses is not expensive.

"No, you've already helped us so much. We definitely can't let your money go to building our house."

Rie Uchino said very firmly.

"Alright then, since you insist, I won't force you. But if you encounter any difficulties, feel free to tell me."

After thinking it over, Chiba Kaede understood why Uchino Rie had done it.

If he were to pay for the construction of a house for them, then the house would not belong to the orphanage, which would make them feel like they were living under someone else's roof. That's why Rie Uchino solemnly proposed to build their own house, because it was to build a home that belonged to them.

"I already told Yuri that I wanted to participate in the Saiyu Tournament, so I'll be leaving tomorrow for gym challenges. It'll probably be more than two weeks before I'm back, so I probably won't be able to help you build the house. I'm very sorry!"

Chiba Kaede said with a hint of apology.

"Xiaofeng, what are you saying? We commissioned the construction of the house to a local construction company, so we don't need to worry about anything. You can go on your trip without worry. Yuri and I will take good care of the farm for you!"

Rie Uchino said with a hint of amusement.

"Boss, I'll prepare everything you need for your trip this afternoon, so you don't need to worry about it!"

Terada Yuri said to Chiba Kaede.

"Thank you for your help. I need to inspect the farm this afternoon!"

After Chiba Kaede went outside, the first thing she found was the big milk tank that was grazing on the grass.

"Hello, Milk Tank!"

Chiba Kaede patted one of the large milk cans and greeted it.

"Moo!"

"Moo!"

Upon seeing Chiba Kaede, the giant milk tanks surrounded him and excitedly began to shout and gesture. One of the giant milk tanks even started trembling as it gestured.

Seeing how agitated they were, Chiba Kaede realized they had encountered a problem and wanted to seek his help.

"You mean you got electrocuted?"

Seeing the giant milk tank trembling, Chiba Kaede guessed directly.

"Moo!"

Seeing that Chiba Kaede understood what he meant, the big milk tank nodded frantically.

"But why were you shocked? Did the Mareeps bully you?"

Chiba Kaede thought for a moment. It seemed that the only Electric-type Pokémon on the farm was Mareep, but in his memory, Mareep were gentle and wouldn't bully other Pokémon.

"Moo!"

The Miltank animals all pointed to a warehouse, which was originally a place to store grains. After Chiba Kaede transformed it, it became the home of the Mareep. After being born, the Miltank animals were also temporarily arranged to live there by Chiba Kaede.

Afterwards, Chiba Kaede followed the Milk Tanks into the warehouse. The warehouse was quite large, and it should be no problem for Mare and the Milk Tanks to live there. Moreover, the ground was covered with thick hay, which was very soft to sleep on.

"Is there anything wrong?"

After Chiba Kaede inspected the area and found nothing wrong, she turned to ask Big Milk Tank.

Big Milk Tank pointed to the haystack, gesturing for Chiba Kaede to touch it.

Having no other choice, Chiba Kaede walked over and reached out to touch the dry grass.

"Crack!"

The moment Chiba Kaede's hand touched the haystack, his whole body trembled, and sparks flew from the haystack.

Now Chiba Kaede finally understood. The Mare sheep carried a lot of static electricity, and when they gathered together and rubbed against each other, they generated even more static electricity.

The hay beneath them also had some static electricity, which meant that even without contact with the Mare sheep, the Milk Pot would still get shocked from time to time.

"I'm sorry, Milk Tank, I didn't think it through. You can sleep in my room for now, and I'll build your shelter as soon as possible."

Chiba Kaede said apologetically to the big milk tank.

It has been almost a week since Chiba Kaede arranged for the big milk tanks to stay here, but the big milk tanks have endured it until now to tell him, which shows how good their character is. They would rather endure the pain themselves than trouble him.

"Moo!"

Hearing Chiba Kaede say that, Big Milk Tank jumped up and down happily.

"Yuri, there's something I need you to follow up on: make sure the construction team finishes building the houses for the big milk tanks as soon as possible!"

After separating from the Milk Tanks, Chiba Kaede went directly to Terada Yuri and told her about what the Milk Tanks had reported, asking her to coordinate with the construction team to build the Milk Tanks' house.

"I'm sorry, boss. I've been neglecting the little ones lately because of the orphanage situation, and I didn't consider the inconvenience they might be experiencing!"

After hearing Chiba Kaede's words, Terada Yuri was also filled with remorse.

Chiba Kaede entrusted the large milk tanks to her care, but she failed to discover the housing problem of the large milk tanks earlier. This was obviously largely due to her focusing too much energy on the people in the orphanage during this period, which could be considered her dereliction of duty.

"You don't need to blame yourself. I was just as careless. These things are unavoidable. As long as we can resolve the problem promptly after it's discovered!"

Chiba Kaede comforted her.

"I understand. I will definitely get the construction team to build comfortable homes for the big milk tanks as soon as possible, I promise!"

Terada Yuri assured Chiba Kaede.

Because of the incident where Miltank was electrocuted, Chiba Kaede specifically asked the other Pokémon living on the farm if they had any requests.

Fortunately, the other Pokémon are quite satisfied with their current life, with only some minor frictions. The only problem that is relatively difficult to handle is the one raised by Mosquito Coil.

It felt that the artificial lake it lived in was a bit small and the water wasn't deep enough, and its group was already a bit overcrowded. It wanted to ask Chiba Maple to expand the area.

Chiba Kaede thought he could consider the request, but it would take some time, since he simply couldn't spare the time to do it right now.

Mosquito Coil can accept this. For the time being, this artificial lake can meet the needs of their species. However, if the species expands further, it will not be enough.

Chiba Kaede was exhausted after going around in circles, but the gains were still good, at least it made him understand the relationship between the elves better.
