I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

Like her sisters, her face was painted with the same delicate makeup as last night.

Although Aisha was invited to go with us last night, she became shy after a night.

"Cherry blossoms."

Suddenly, Aisha's voice came into her ears.

"exist!"

The next moment, Sakura straightened her back, put down her hands, and looked at Aisha with a smile on her face.

"..."

The fourth sister standing next to her curled her lips.

Virtue!

"Hahaha~"

The third sister laughed happily, looking very happy.

"Ai, Ai, Ai, Coach."

Sakura was probably having some strange thoughts today, so she wasn't as calm as she was last night when facing Aisha.

Her expression was a little nervous, and she stuttered when she spoke. She stood there in the same kimono as last night, but she felt very awkward. Her four sisters all held their foreheads and sighed to the sky.

Hey.

Shameful.

"I am coming."

Aisha said this and smiled at Sakura.

At this moment, the sunlight passed over the top of the bell tower in the distance and fell in front of the door of the Bell Sound Path, that is, fell on Aisha.

The beautiful boy with a gentle smile seemed to be glowing under the golden sunlight, which stunned Sakura, who had a nervous face.

That's right...

That's right.

It's that kind of smile.

Coach Ai’s unique “killing smile that will 100% instantly kill all female fans, and maybe some male fans too”!

I was born into this world just to see this smile!

"Okay, just come!"

As if healed by Aisha's smile, Sakura, who had been nervous and couldn't even speak clearly just now, suddenly perked up.

Seeing this, question marks popped up in the sisters' heads.

Sister, you have a problem...

"The abbot is already waiting for us."

The older sister in the black kimono saw that her younger sister had been taken advantage of by the handsome boy in front of her. She immediately held her forehead and shook her head helplessly, saying, "Then don't dawdle here, let's go in."

"Ok!"

Sakura didn't notice the complicated looks her sisters gave her at all. After nodding in agreement, she grabbed Aisha's arm and led him into the Lingyin Trail.

"Eh!"

Aisha let out a scream unexpectedly.

"Aisha."

Latias looked at his back as Sakura pulled him away, and complained quietly.

"A sinful man..."

I actually learned this from Rotom.

"Oh......"

Only after passing through the gate did Aixia see the full picture of the Bell Sound Path - a narrow path that led straight from the gate to the front of the bell tower. Tall maple trees were neatly arranged on both sides of the path. People who stood here could see the maple leaf crowns swaying like flames when they looked up. When the sunlight fell, it cast a layer of golden light on the fiery red maple leaves.

“It’s not autumn yet, but leaves are still falling…”

Aixia raised her hand and caught a falling maple leaf.

"Wow!"

Just at this moment, a strong wind blew, and the maple treetops all over the sky swayed in the wind. From a distance, it looked very spectacular.

The fiery red maple leaves also slowly fell among the mottled shadows of the trees, giving Aisha a feeling that "autumn is coming".

"It's a miracle that completely defies the laws of nature... The world of Pokémon is truly amazing."

Muttering to himself, Aisha recalled the painting of "Yuan Zhu City" that he and Cattleya had seen at the Miare Art Museum.

The painting shows a scene of brilliant maple leaves surrounding the bell tower.

"Beautiful, isn't it~"

Sakura chuckled.

"pretty."

Aisha spoke the truth.

"What an appreciative little donor."

Suddenly, an old but energetic voice came from the front.

Aisha and Sakura looked up and saw an old man in a monk's robe.

"Donor Sakura, thank you so much for coming here."

The old man looked at Sakura and the other four dancers following behind the two of them, smiled, clasped his hands together, and said, "It is time to offer sacrifices to Lord Phoenix again."

Needless to say, this person is the current abbot of the Bell Tower.

"So, this little donor who loves maple leaves... huh?"

The abbot looked at Aixia and suddenly paused.

Aisha and Sakura, who were standing at the front, could see the abbot staring at the former with his eyes almost popping out of his head.

Then, this old man, who was probably already eighty years old, ran to Aisha at the speed of an eighteen-year-old boy.

"Donor, donor, donor..."

The abbot kept repeating the word "donor" and his white beard was trembling with excitement.

He stared at Aisha, his eyes as if he had seen a god.

"Please, please come with me!"

After saying that, the abbot pulled Aisha into the tower, completely forgetting the dancers standing beside them.

"what?"

Sakura looked confused.

Latias, on the other hand, looked at Aisha's back as she was dragged away by the abbot, and complained quietly.

"Aisha, sin..."

"This isn't a serious sin!"

Rotom quickly interrupted Latias.

Chapter 547: The Bell Tower and the Second Portion of Holy Ashes

Aisha was pulled by the abbot and ran through the bell-ringing path covered with fallen maple leaves, running towards the tall tower at the end of the path.

In front of the pagoda gate, two young monks in gray robes were holding brooms and sweeping the maple leaves piled at the door.

They saw the abbot running towards them in a hurry and wanted to say hello, but they saw the abbot dragging Aixia into the tower in a hurry, with no intention of paying any attention to them.

"Eh......"

"What's wrong, Abbot?"

The two monks looked puzzled, stared at the two men's backs, and asked questions.

In their impression, the abbot has always been a very kind, gentle and steady type.

In the past, when he met the abbot, he would greet them with a smile.

But today...

"I've never seen the abbot look so anxious..."

"What happened?"

The two monks looked at each other, puzzled.

"Is it because of that young man?"

One of the monks remembered Aisha being jogged by the abbot.

"I don't know, but it should be. Perhaps it's a distinguished guest from somewhere?"

Another monk echoed the guess.

However, they soon gave up thinking about it.

"Forget it. The abbot must have a deep meaning behind this. We are just ordinary monks sweeping the floor. It is better not to get involved in such matters of adults."

"really......"

Then, the two of them continued sweeping the floor as if nothing had happened.

"Speaking of which, the weather today is really nice and sunny."

"Ah."

Sweeping the maple leaves to the door with a broom, the second monk looked up at the sun hanging high in the east sky.

The sun fell on his body, face, hands, and even on the window sill of the bell tower behind him, and then into the tower...

"call!"

In the tower, the abbot took Aisha to the back hall on the first floor.

"call......"

The old man was panting heavily.

It can be seen that for an elderly man like him, pulling Aixia to run such a long distance in one breath is really a very difficult task.

However, despite the hard work and the burning sensation in his lungs, the abbot could not hide the excitement and anticipation on his face.

He looked at Aixia with a smile on his face, his eyes full of sincerity and excitement, and said: "Little... no, benefactor, please stand in front."

I don't know what he was thinking about, but the host was very respectful to Aisha, not only in his expression and tone, he even used honorifics.

“No need to be like this…”

Aixia was also confused by the host's series of actions.

He instinctively didn't like being treated like this by the old man, so he reached out to stop the abbot who was about to bow to him.

"well......"

The abbot was supported by Aisha, and immediately showed an expression of being flattered. He even forgot to kneel down to him. The look he gave Aisha was as if Prime Minister Cao saw his beautiful wife, Jotaro saw DIO, Gudako saw the Saint Crystal, and Aisha himself saw a first-level god. Aisha's scalp tingled.

Only then did he have time to look around and see the furnishings inside the bell tower.

Should we say that it is worthy of being built by craftsmen according to uniform specifications?

The first floor of the bell tower is exactly the same in terms of top, bottom, left and right areas as the burnt tower Aisha had visited before.

The walls, floor, and ceiling are made of the same special wood as the Burnt Tower.

However, the interior is quite different - after all, it has not been burned by a fire.

The first floor of the bell tower is very spacious. The wooden beams intersect each other, and the interior space is divided into several rooms by screen-like walls and doors.

Aixia was just dragged by the abbot to run through the lobby on the first floor. Judging from the furnishings there, it seemed to be a place for pilgrims to pray and burn incense. There were merit boxes, statues of gods, incense burners, kneeling mats and other such things.
