Ditto doesn't move

It's just like a primary school boy throwing a tantrum.

Dr. Kukui, feeling somewhat uncomfortable under Xia Ming's teasing gaze, couldn't help but wonder what was going on in his mind.

What are you messing around with? Even if it's this guy, he should feel embarrassed after his identity was exposed.

Why did the other party not feel embarrassed at all, but instead become even more self-righteous?

"Because I don't feel like I owe you anything." The Emperor smiled wickedly. "On the contrary, I think you should thank me."

Dr. Kukui: ? ? ?

"You chose this path, you set your dreams, and as for overtime... you can simply ignore it or hand it over to someone else."

"As the saying goes, those who pursue their dreams are always asking for trouble. On the contrary, I've helped you resolve many long-hidden problems."

"Or do you think that none of what's happening right now would have happened without me?"

Yes, yes...

Right... right?

Indeed, the events surrounding the Ultimate Hole, the Rainbow Rockets, and the league were all foreshadowed long ago. It's hard to say whether he could have achieved such a good outcome if he had handled everything alone.

But why do I feel this inexplicable unease?

Dr. Kukui, already captivated by the Emperor's astonishing wisdom, nodded almost subconsciously, but then shook his head.

"I can't deny your contributions, but don't try to shirk your responsibility!"

"Damn it, there are clearly many better solutions, but you've created so many new problems!"

"Take responsibility and get those guys who can't stand not fighting in line sorted out!"

However, emperors have never cared.

He let out a hearty laugh, but unexpectedly, he didn't revert to his transformed state. Xia Ming left the ward with an air of self-righteousness, leaving behind only his last words:

"If you always focus on the details, you'll become nagging!"

"Dr. Barnett has been waiting outside for a long time. If you have any complaints, go tell her."

In this way, another debt should be cleared.

Xia Ming, the martial god, was in a good mood, thinking this way, until he encountered...

Volume 2, Grand Alliance Chapter 202: Damn it, he's still chasing me on our blind date?

Not good.

Even a seasoned warrior like Xia Ming felt a strong sense of foreboding upon seeing this scene.

Or rather, this was a situation he had never experienced before.

With Rainbow Rocket defeated, Team Creatures in a favorable position, the league reorganization scheduled, and the tournament in full swing, the current situation is as follows:

Everything is on track now, and even if there are still some problems, they will take a long time to resolve. What kind of scene could make even the Martial God Xia Ming break out in a sweat?

The answer is:

Someone was waiting for him on his way home.

"Shh, Lillie, when did you get here?"

"Mao, didn't you decide to study food and psychology?"

"Mizuki and Mari, what are you doing getting involved in this?"

Wow!

Although he had only witnessed the scene of the mentally challenged child being utterly humiliated on video, the murderous atmosphere of the scene still gave Xia Ming, the Martial God, goosebumps and caused him to break out in a cold sweat.

This scene probably isn't what I'm thinking, is it?

That scene, which would only elicit laughter if spoken aloud, made bro think he was some kind of protagonist from a light novel.

Why did you all manage to gather together so coincidentally and block my way home?

stare……

The girl didn't speak, but her eye contact with the others sparked a kind of brilliance that was imperceptible to ordinary people.

Then, Mary, who should have had the least reason to get involved, took the initiative to reveal some information:

"Um... Mr. Xia Ming, are you really going to publicly solicit partners?"

Xia Ming: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Even with the emperor's extraordinary wisdom, he instantly felt a terrifying impact no less than when he first heard the words "I love you, and everyone else."

As Mary began to speak, the girls, who were already closer to her than the others, all cast ambiguous glances at her.

In that instant, the emperor was reminded of the endless hell of blind dates he had once endured...

fear!

His unparalleled wisdom, which was invincible on the battlefield and in tactics, seemed to have withered at this moment, unable to come up with any response. The only thing that could help him was a little hint.

　Who is Erling VII, the 1er bell (three)?!

Who the hell is plotting against me?!

"Hum hum."

Hiding in the bushes, the Team Rocket trio, whose ambition and dominance had been solidified for their final mission to become executives, let out a cryptic laugh.

With a wicked grin, Meow Meow looked through the binoculars and praised:

"He can devise such a terrifying plan without any mercy even for the person who helped him achieve his dream of becoming a star..."

"How utterly despicable and shameless, Musashi!"

"Although it might sound a bit sarcastic to ordinary people, as a member of a villainous organization, I'll gladly accept your praise, meow."

Rina Musashi, a rising star who has already made her debut and gained fame through the Alola tournament, is dressed very cutely and hiding in the bushes today.

Or rather, ever since she established herself as an idol, Musashi Rina's daily routine has been like this:

While concealing her whereabouts as required by the producer, wearing casual clothes and sunglasses, she also seemed afraid that others would not recognize her, always inadvertently revealing her identity through her accessories and attire.

Women are scary, aren't they!

Because he was born into a wealthy family and had also experienced the hell of arranged marriages, Kojiro had never looked at his companions who had come all this way with such awe as he did now.

The only thing that puzzled him was that Kojiro couldn't help but ask:

"But will this plan really work? Isn't repaying kindness with enmity a bit..."

"Hmph! Mere Kojiro."

Almost letting out a strange laugh that was usually reserved for her own people, the rising idol girl instinctively covered her mouth as she had been trained to do.

"Do you think I don't know what you guys are thinking? No man would refuse to be surrounded by girls, so how can this be considered repaying kindness with enmity?"

"Right now, the boss is probably overjoyed and can't wait to go on dates with those cute girls!"

Kojiro was momentarily speechless. He glanced at Xia Ming, who was already drenched in sweat, silently swallowed his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments), and asked again:

"No, what I mean is, can a simple public matchmaking event really reach the level of disrupting the league's order and the games that Boss Sakaki is talking about?"

"That's why you always fail at pursuing girls, Kojiro."

The idol girl, who recklessly delivered a fatal blow to her companion's heart, let out another eerie laugh:

"Do you know how many copies of the game Sky Exploration have been sold so far?"

"Do you know how many young girls, filled with romantic longing, have already developed a crush on the producer because of that overly beautiful story of their first meeting?"

Even a mischievous move like putting the happy ending in the second playthrough is a plus for girls, since women love bad boys.

"Mysterious origins, formidable strength, successful career, insightful mind, and most importantly, incredibly handsome..."

"Heh, the producer's current status in the world of girls' dream boyfriends is practically on par with Daigo and Michael!"

"If it weren't for our dreams, I... if I had heard this news, I would definitely have gone up and fought for it too!"

Women are terrifying.

Kojiro and Meowth, both drenched in sweat, couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"Stop talking nonsense! The internet, news outlets, forums—wherever there are people, we must use the Rockets' world-class technology to spread this message!"

The evil villain gave the order without any politeness, and only smiled arrogantly when she saw the TV station's interview helicopter appear in the sky.

"Now, let me sacrifice a little bit of my looks to make this a hot topic."

No, you just want to ride the wave of popularity and become even more famous, right?

Having long known Musashi's personality, Kojiro and Meowth couldn't help but think to themselves.

Their bodies, without Musashi's command, operated at a speed ten or even nine times faster than the large robots previously created.

I'm sorry, producer, although you paid us a high salary and let us enjoy the joy of fame.

But don't blame us for being despicable, producers.

Who can blame us for being lovable and charming villains?

For the sake of our great dream of becoming leaders, and to cause trouble for the league's events, you might as well happily fall into the girls' love war!

It's on!

The rising idol girl, who debuted under the stage name Musashi Rina, fearlessly rushed out in front of everyone, under the filming of TV reporters, with the attitude of "I know I'm cute".

"Mr. Xia Ming, are you really going to start looking for a girlfriend?"

"Can't you at least consider me?"

The pitiful idol girl, holding the right hand of the stunned Martial God Xia Ming, said this to the camera.

Volume 2, Grand Alliance Arc: Chapter 203: War of Love!!!

"Gentlemen, this is war."

In the dimly lit room (referring to the conference room), the person sitting at the head of the table had his fingers interlaced, and a sharp white light flashed behind his glasses.

The police officers sitting on either side of the hall showed no embarrassment whatsoever; instead, they stabbed their notebooks with their pens with an even more furious attitude than their commander.

Wow, it turns out that the Junsa ladies of Alola are holding a meeting.

However, the Rainbow Rockets incident has come to an end. Are they holding a reflection and summary meeting now?

"General! I have something to say!"

Despite being a trainee, she unexpectedly donned Junsha's formal police uniform, at which point Junsha, with an imposing air, leaned over and slammed her hand on the table:

"Based on my understanding of his senior, he would never release such a heinous message!"

After entering the probationary period for official employment, he's already starting to look quite professional.

The approving glances from her older and younger cousins ​​made the trainee girl puff out her chest with pride.

"So what we need to do right now is to use our technology to catch the rumor-mongers, maintain network stability, and at the same time give our predecessors a peaceful life."

However, this time, unexpectedly, instead of receiving approving glances, he received a lot of questions like, "Are you serious?"

"Ugh."

Branch head Junsha sighed softly, giving the other puzzled Junshas a look that said, "The child is too young and too foolish," and then said:

"So, I have a question for you: why did we establish this secret fan club?"

"Um... to support your senior's great dream?"

"Wrong! Utterly wrong! It's to prevent those bastards, Joey, from taking away what rightfully belongs to us again!"

The resounding statement left the newly promoted intern stunned, but everyone else glared at him with shared indignation.

Why? Why?

The intern was trembling all over, completely bewildered.

Haven't our Junsha and Joey families been on good terms for generations, advancing and retreating together?

How could this happen?
