My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 115 Cat Hot Spring Inn

The match ended an hour later.

"How could this be—why did this happen?"

The winner, observing the loser's reaction, found it entirely within his expectations and won with great ease.

As for the losers, they weren't so happy.

"Why, why did we lose?"

I've already secured the best spot for fishing—..

Tong Hua couldn't understand it, but the facts were undeniable, and he couldn't refute them. The only explanation Tong Hua could think of was that Feng's fishing skills were far superior to his own level 19 fishing skill.

"Hehe, you should accept your loss, Tong Hua."

You have to fulfill my three requests, three times, three times! Don't forget!

He proudly held up three fingers, declaring his victory.

Meanwhile, the Pokémon under the tree also slowly woke up.

Amidst laughter and shouts of lament, the group set off again toward the cat-themed hot spring inn a few hundred meters away.

"Ah, handsome uncle, they're here!"

Wearing a yukata, Maggie stood at the hotel entrance and saw Tong Hua with his family from afar.

"Good, there's just one room left, and the surveillance preparations are complete. I never expected the hotel to be so popular..."

The handsome man straightened his mask; from today onward, he would be using this false identity for the long term.

Therefore, he specifically applied to Interpol headquarters to have a more breathable and comfortable face mask made.

"Sigh, is there only one room left?"

"But I think he also brought a female companion—." Maggie muttered softly, looking at the handsome man with some concern.

Hello.

When Tong Hua and his group arrived at the hotel entrance, they were somewhat surprised by the impressive building in front of them.

This hot spring inn is much more luxurious than I imagined, with traditional Japanese architecture combined with modern facilities, and cute cat-shaped lanterns hanging at the entrance.

Judging from the many cars parked in the courtyard, there seemed to be quite a few guests. "Welcome to Neko Onsen Ryokan," the handsome young man said in a practiced greeting tone. "We've been waiting for you. Are you all together?"

Before Tong Hua could speak, she answered first, "Yes, we're together."

"That's wonderful. There's only one Japanese-style room left in the inn. In that case, Machiavelli, you can take the guests to check in."

:

"what?"

Completely ignoring the subtle changes in Feng's expression, Machiavel smiled and nodded: "Okay, please follow me."

She led the group through an exquisite Japanese garden, the wooden clogs making a crisp sound on the stone path.

Tong Hua and Feng changed into slippers and followed behind with their Pokémon and luggage. The two of them didn't have time to admire the hotel's decor and started to discuss things in hushed tones.

"What should we do? Do we really have to share a room?"

"I think a Japanese-style room should be fine. It should be the kind of room I'm thinking of, with tatami mats and a sleeping area on the floor."

"We're not sleeping in the bed anyway, so we can just separate the two rooms at night. Don't worry."

While saying this, she was actually thinking that this time she seemed to have gone too far. "Oh dear." "Chirp chirp!" "Tears!"

The group walked through a corridor decorated with ukiyo-e style cat paintings, paper lanterns emitted a soft light, and even the door signs were shaped like cute cat paws.

The Pokémon were very satisfied with the scenery here, finding it very novel.

"This is your room."

Maggie opened the paper door, revealing a spacious and bright Japanese-style room. The room had electrical appliances and a private bathroom, and the tatami mats were neatly made with bedding. The window faced a beautiful view of the courtyard.

What excites the Pokémon the most is that there are several cat-shaped cushions in the corner of the room, as well as small toys specially prepared for the Pokémon.

"Poyoyo~" The three little fairy milks immediately flew around the room, attracting the other Pokémon to explore curiously as well. "Wow, the view is not bad!" Standing by the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the courtyard and flowing water outside, I suddenly felt that living here was not bad.

"Please enjoy yourselves at your leisure. The hot springs are currently reserved for group guests, so please use them in the evening."

Dinner will be delivered to your room shortly, as will breakfast for tomorrow.

Well then, I'll take my leave now. If you have any questions, please come to the front desk.

After saying that, Machiavel stepped out of the room and gently closed the sliding door.

After Maggie left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat subtle. Tong Hua and the other person exchanged a glance and simultaneously began to look around the spacious Japanese-style room.

"Um—" Tong Hua scratched his head, "If we're sleeping tonight, I'll put the bedding on the side closest to the door."

Leaning lazily against the window: "Okay, then I'll lay it out next to the window and let the Pokémon sleep in the middle."

By the way, we can't go to the hot springs yet—”

Feng looked around and noticed there was a television in the room.

"Then let's watch some TV. By the way, what should we do with the fish we caught?"

Upon hearing that they were going to watch TV, Sweetie, Bubble Squirrel, Mini Fu, and Salt Stone all instantly became excited.

The little ones scattered, searching the room for the remote control.

Tong Hua also helped look for it, and sure enough, they found the remote control on the TV cabinet again.

When Tong Hua turned on the TV, it was still the same six channels, which made her feel a little sad. However, she still switched to a cartoon channel and let the Pokémon watch it.

"We finally got to travel, and all we got was to change rooms and watch TV? Oh well, what can we do when we don't have a TV at home?"

But you can't watch this from that close! Move back, back, there needs to be at least two meters between you.

Tong Hua said things like "it will damage your eyes" while pulling the Pokémon to the optimal viewing distance.

To prevent them from crossing the line, Tong Hua also piled up pillows to form a defensive line two meters away.

Having done all this, Tong Hua nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the Pokémon who were intently watching, "?, why are you watching too?"

Feng lay lazily on the tatami mat, her eyes fixed on the TV screen: "What's wrong? Is that not allowed? I like watching Tom and Jerry, are you having a problem with that?"

She held the charming cat in her arms, and both of them were engrossed in watching.

Tong Hua smiled helplessly and was about to sit down to watch when she suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, those fish—"

He picked up the bucket and looked at the crucian carp swimming inside. "I'll go ask if I can use the kitchen."

Without turning her head, she waved her hand and said, "Go on, go on, remember to make the scallion-roasted ones!"

Ah, consider this one chance I've used up. Do your job well, okay?

"Okay, okay—"

Tong Hua carried the bucket out of the room and ran into Maggie in the corridor.

After explaining the situation, Maggie looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, the kitchen is preparing dinner right now, so it might not be convenient."

However, I remember there's an open-air kitchen in the courtyard behind the hotel; it should be usable there.

Tong Hua thanked her happily and followed the direction pointed out by Maggie to the backyard. Sure enough, she found a fully equipped open-air kitchen with stoves, seasonings, and a small barbecue grill next to it.

However, it seems that someone arrived here earlier than Tong Hua. The barbecue grill was already lit, and there were some semi-finished skewers on it.

Just as Tong Hua was wondering who was using it, two surprised exclamations suddenly came from behind her.

"Isn't that Tong Hua?"

"Master Acorn? Senior Brother Mumu?"

It turns out it was acorns and wood from Chicory Wood Hall. What a coincidence!

"Why does it feel like all the people I know have suddenly gathered together—" Tong Hua silently complained in her heart, but still greeted everyone warmly.

"It's been a long time, Master Acorn. Have you finished that set of custom furniture with a profit of 100 million?"

"Of course, otherwise how could we afford to bring this kid on a hot spring trip?"

Master Acorn laughed triumphantly, then smelled a burnt odor and hurriedly went to turn over his skewers.

Mumu also came over and whispered something while sporting his signature green hair.

"He's in a good mood these past few days, throwing money around everywhere. Let me demonstrate for you, so you can learn from me. We'll split it 50/50 later."

Mumu cleared her throat and deliberately said loudly, "Master, I haven't heard you tell me about getting another big order for 5 minutes."

Tong Hua said he wanted to hear it too, "Please tell us the story again."
