Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

The Freeze Punch hit its mark perfectly, with outstanding results!

Sundae's last Pokémon has also fallen.

"Marowak is unable to battle. Ash is the winner of this match!"

The entire audience cheered as the first person to advance to the Quartz Conference semifinals was born.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the side quest "Ciallo～(∠?ω<)⌒☆, She's a Star Maid!": Defeat Yuto Seidai in the Quartz Tournament quarterfinals]

【Star Maid: A special combat unit whose loyalty is always above 80%. The Star Maid will not die as long as the master is alive. During a Grand Harmony event, there is a 1% chance to increase the master's stamina attribute by 1 (It is the maid's duty to fulfill the master's needs (∠?ω<)⌒☆!)】

[Congratulations, host, on achieving the "Indigo League Semifinals": You have advanced to the semifinals of the Indigo League!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +800; Attack +1; Free Attribute Points +2; Regional Reputation +20]

This so-called Star Maid actually gave Ash a parchment contract, which stated that it would only take effect if signed voluntarily.

It seems that she will only be "promoted" to Star Maid after Sundae signs the contract.

Chapter 101 When there's work, the secretary does it; when there's nothing to do, there's nothing to do...

"Ash once again demonstrated his strength, defeating Sundae's six Pokémon with four of his own to qualify for the semifinals."

"Let's congratulate Ash!"

Led by the commentator, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause once again, and Xiao Zhi turned around and waved to the audience around him to express his gratitude.

His friends clapped and cheered each other to express their excitement, and even Naz had a happy smile on her face thanks to the atmosphere around them.

In the players' lounge after the match.

"I lost, I lost, I lost..."

Since the match ended, Sundae has been muttering to herself, as if she still can't accept the outcome.

She spent a tremendous amount of energy and resources to cultivate her proud Pokémon team.

"I've completely lost..." Sundae managed to defeat Ash's three Pokémon despite her best efforts.

I'm feeling a bit sad but also a bit relieved. She really isn't as good as Ash.

Suddenly the door to the lounge opened, and Xiaozhi told Xiaoxia and the others that he had something to take care of, then returned here.

"Well then, Miss Sundae, let's go."

Upon hearing Ash's voice, Sundae's delicate body trembled and she immediately tensed up.

What are you going to do?

"As agreed, this young lady is now my servant, right?" Ash gently walked behind her and placed his hand on Sundae's shoulder.

Her reaction was absolutely adorable; she would tremble at the slightest touch.

"This bet was made in the presence of the Alliance President, Little Sundae won't go back on his word, will he?"

Xiao Zhi took out the Star Maid Contract given to him by the system and spoke to the little girl in a coaxing tone.

"Come on, don't resist. Just sign this agreement!"

Sundae looked at the contents above and found that there were basically no problems; it was just about the duties and obligations of a maid.

But she was about to become someone else's maid.

"Ugh~" The haughty expression that the young lady had been wearing on her face finally broke down, and she was about to cry.

"Dear Mr. Xiaozhi, may I have a word with you in private?"

At that moment, a tall, capable woman dressed in an elegant butler uniform pushed open the door and entered the lounge.

Although she has many wrinkles on her face, you can still tell from her temperament that she must have been a beauty when she was young.

The person who came was Eve, the butler of Sundae.

"Eve!" As soon as he saw her appear, Sundae immediately fled from Ash's clutches and hid behind Eve.

"The Yuteng family can offer ten times the Alliance Coins as your bet. What do you think?"

"It was your young lady who proposed the bet first. Do you really think I'm a greedy person?" Actually, it is true that Xiaozhi is a greedy person.

"Of course not, I think you are an upright and excellent trainer, Mr. Ash."

"So in addition to the 5 million Alliance Coins, the Yuteng family will also provide a baby Gilas as compensation for Miss Sundae's misbehavior."

"If you need other Pokémon, please feel free to suggest them. We would appreciate your consideration."

"This..." To be honest, Xiaozhi was a little tempted. The Star Maid Contract has no expiration date and doesn't necessarily have to be used on Sundae.

And judging from Sundae's appearance, if she were to become a maid, who knows who would be serving whom?

Just as Ash was hesitating, Sundae spoke first.

"Wait a minute, Eve, who's going to pay for all this money and the Pokémon? Didn't Dad say he'd never take care of me again?!"

"Of course, it was provided by your older sister, Miss Naixi."

"You have an older sister? She's always being called 'Miss'." Xiao Zhi inadvertently learned about someone else's family situation again.

"Miss is saying that my family is very powerful, not that I am ranked among my sisters in the family."

Sundae walked out angrily from behind the butler.

“Eve, how could you tell me about my sister’s bet? When I left home, I said I would never be worse than her.”

"Doesn't this make me look like a failure?"

The old butler was speechless. "You've failed, Miss Sundae."

"Ugh, I don't care!" Sundae immediately snatched the Star Maid Contract from Ash's hand and signed it.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, the "Star Maid" contract is complete!]

"Please take good care of me in the future, Master...Master...Master." It took Sundae a while to overcome her shame.

Since they had already made their choice, Xiao Zhi simply accepted it.

"Well then, Miss, I'll report to the master." The butler reluctantly made a phone call to the head of the You Teng family.

He explained the current situation with a serious expression, and after a moment of silence, a deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Is that so? It was witnessed by the Alliance President... Then let her do whatever she wants."

"Yes, sir! I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, she took out two large bags of luggage from somewhere and placed them in front of Xiaozhi and Shengdai.

"Then please take good care of Miss Sundae in the future, Mr. Ash." After saying that, the butler Eve left.

"Just abandoning them like this?" This truly demonstrates the uniquely resilient hearts of parents in the Pokémon world.

Now only Ash and Sundae are left in the lounge, and the atmosphere is starting to get a little awkward.

"Well, then change into your work clothes, little sundae!"

Ash took out the "Easy Take" maid outfit he had bought in advance from the system store and showed it to Sundae with an honest smile.

"No way! I won't wear such shameless clothes!"

"A maid has no right to refuse her master!"

"Hmm~"ヽ(*。>Д<)o゜

------------

The "Easy Take" maid outfit was obviously meant to prank Sundae; Ash would never let her wear that kind of outfit on the street.

Later, she brought out a long-skirted maid outfit, but it took her a long time to put it on.

After she became Ash's Star Maid, Ash can now view her personal panel through the system.

"You're quite knowledgeable about business?" Ash's abrupt question left Sundae somewhat bewildered.

However, she wouldn't miss a moment like this to boast.

"Of course, I have received guidance from renowned teachers since childhood, unlike those inferior nobodies."

"Great! Then you can work part-time as my secretary from now on, you're so capable."

"what?"

After all, the secretary does the work when there's something to do, and does nothing when there's nothing to do...

Chapter 102 Xiao Zhi Wants to Be the King of Guandong

Seeing the puzzled look on Sundae's face, Ash explained his current strength to her.

She was increasingly shocked as she listened, realizing that the master she was to serve was not a farmer or a commoner.

"Xiao Zhi, which family do you belong to?"

“We’re just ordinary farmers. My mother is a pharmacist and her family grows medicinal herbs. My father doesn’t have any connections.”

"It's nothing more than my personal efforts plus a bit of opportunity from the times!"

Ash's classic Vegeta laugh.

"So what does a secretary do?"
