Chapter 174: New Companions
On the second day after the challenge of Xiangshuang Town Gymnasium ended, Guan Liyuan got up in the morning, packed his luggage, and left the Pokémon Center with Esther and Salina, he also received news from Xiao Ai that she would wait for Guan Liyuan outside the town.
"You still remember my friend who saved Salina before?" Guan Liyuan and Esther, Salina mentioned this.
"Of course I still remember! We haven't thanked her in person yet!" Esther said immediately.
"Well... that's true. She may also travel with us in the future. Now she should go outside Xiangshuang Town." Guan Liyuan said.
"Really? That's great!"
"Ah! Wait for me, I should go and buy a gift to express my gratitude."
Esther and Salina obviously welcomed Xiao Ai. Even though Esther, who was scared by Xiao Ai with a sense of oppression last time, did not show any resistance.
However, Guan Liyuan was still worried that if he wanted to get along well with Xiao Ai, such "consciousness" was not enough!
"That... there is one thing that I must remind you in advance." Guan Liyuan said cautiously.
"What's wrong?" Salina said in a puzzled tone. She had never seen Xiao Ai from beginning to end.
"Her temper is quite weird...and...how to say it? In terms of appearance..." Guan Liyuan scratched his head a little.
"Don't worry! Even if it's hard to get along with, we will try our best to gain her recognition. And... Li Yuan, you can't criticize the appearance of a girl!" Esther said.
Before, she vaguely saw Xiao Ai wearing a cloak, but when she wanted to get close, she was startled by the oppression on Xiao Ai, so she kept thinking about Xiao Ai as a very fierce trainer.
However, because Xiao Ai saved Salina, and according to Guan Liyuan, the other party was a trainer of the divine beast, Esther and Salina had very low postures.
"You made an appointment at 10 o'clock, right? Then there is still some time. Sister Esther and I will go to buy a gift first... But the tree fruits used on the road are still a little short, so let's take action separately!" Salina had not forgotten the thank-you gift.
Guan Liyuan did not stop him. Gifts or something should be a relatively "novel" thing for Xiao Ai.
Letting Xiao Ai get in touch with more human things will also help her adapt to human psychology...
Afterwards, Guan Li went to Pokémon Street to buy tree fruits, and other things needed to go to the southwest coastal areas, while Salina and Esther went to choose gifts for Xiao Ai.
At 9:45, when Guan Liyuan was about to meet at the entrance of the town, he suddenly received a call from Esther and Salina.
"Liyuan, where are you? We seem to see you waiting for your friend, a girl who is about the same age as us, right?" Salina asked.
"Ha? How do you say it... it should be considered." Guan Liyuan's definition is a bit subtle.
"Really! Liyuan, what are you saying! Even if he is very fierce, you are too rude to do this... Let's say hello to her first." Esther's voice inserted.
"Wait... forget it, you guys first ask if you are waiting for me. It feels like you have recognized the wrong person." Guan Liyuan said helplessly.
If Xiao Ai really stood at the entrance of the town, the entire Xiangxun Town would probably be in full bloom. And he would not recognize that he was a girl no matter how he looked at it.
Later, in the picture book, Salina's greeting voice came: "Hello, are you waiting for Liyuan?"
Guan Liyuan is now very sure that they must have recognized the wrong person. If it were really Xiao Ai, although Super Dream is similar to a human figure, no matter how carelessly comes to greet him, right?
Who knew that at this moment, the other party's answer was...
"That's right, you are Esther and Salina, aren't you? I heard Liyuan mention you. In the past few months, Liyuan has caused you a lot of trouble? Thank you for your care of Liyuan."
Guan Liyuan: "..."
The voice is a bit familiar, but it is also very strange. But what is certain is that it is definitely not Xiao Ai, but like... Xiaoxia? But this tone is very strange... What the hell is it so polite? Are you imitating a lady from somewhere? Is the TV station broadcasting some crazy dramas recently?
"Where, where, we are the ones who are caring for, and we have to thank you..." Esther obviously choked.
After all, Guan Liyuan said that "new companion" before, but after meeting, he was actually so polite that it was awkward that anyone would catch him off guard.
At the same time, Esther was not without doubt - was the figure I saw before really the person in front of me? It was completely different from the temperament at that time...
"Li Yuan told us in the morning that you were coming, so he didn't have time to prepare any gifts. This is the aromatherapy we just bought. It is a specialty aromatherapy in Xiangshuang Town. It's a little bit of fun!" said Salina.
Guan Liyuan smiled at this time - now Xiaoxia should know that she had understood it wrongly, right? She didn't tell Guan Liyuan what she was going to come before!
"Really? That's what he told you?" Xiaoxia said, looking very surprised.
Guan Liyuan: "..."
Guan Liyuan was already angrily lifting the coffee table in his heart - are you suspicious that I guessed the news you were coming? It’s impossible? How could anyone guess that there is no clue at all?
In fact, Guan Liyuan was wrong. Xiaoxia was not here on a whim. In fact, when Guan Liyuan had just set off from Miare City and contacted Xiaoxia and Nazi, he said that Fatong's two daughters were also with him. Xiaoxia specifically mentioned that his special training was about to end.
And I have been paying attention to Guan Liyuan's travel plans since then...
The reason why I came to Carlos now is entirely because the Yamabu environment was "not good at" by Xiaoxia. After all, it is the type that Xiaoxia cannot handle whether it is the insect system or the ghost system.
"Of course, Liyuan often mentions yours to us." Salina said.
It’s weird! Guan Liyuan didn’t know how these three people could chat so well in the “normal” situation.
But the current situation seems to be more beneficial to Guan Liyuan? So Guan Liyuan did not speak out to stop him, but just rushed to the entrance of the town.
"Liyuan must have never mentioned my advantages, right?" Xiaoxia asked back.
Well, at this time, the understanding Salina could definitely hear Xiaoxia's retreat as she advances - just asking for praise! At this time, she would definitely say "How is it possible? Liyuan often praises you balabala..." and so on.
However, Guan Liyuan miscalculated a little bit, that is, there is still Esther who is outspoken!
"That's right! But that guy Liyuan is too much, he must be not as bad as he said he has a temper! I think he is deliberately scaring us... and he looks really cute!" Esther said directly.
Guan Liyuan: "..."
Guan Liyuan couldn't see Xiaoxia's expression at this moment, but she obviously paused for three seconds before laughing: "Hi Luo Luo... Liyuan is really, always making such jokes!"
Listening to the strange laughter, Guan Liyuan couldn't help but shivered.
And at this moment, another familiar voice from Guan Liyuan inserted in: "You are Guan Liyuan's friends, aren't you?"
This time it was indeed Xiao Ai! Not only was his voice, but his tone was also usually cold...
Chapter completed!
