Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Late at night.

Xiaoxia was helped into the tent and put to sleep by Hanako.

Jiang Chuan sat by the campfire, gazing at the starry sky.

The starry sky over the grassland was exceptionally clear, and the Milky Way hung overhead like a luminous ribbon.

Hanako came out of the tent and sat down next to Egawa.

"Is Xiaoxia asleep?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"Mmm, you slept soundly." Hanako leaned on Egawa's shoulder. "I'm tired from playing today."

"And you? Aren't you tired?"

"It's alright." Hanako looked up at Jiang Chuan. "With you by my side, I don't feel tired."

Jiang Chuan looked down at Hanako.

The firelight illuminated her face, softening her features and giving her a gentle look.

Hanako wore a loose white T-shirt with a slightly large neckline, revealing her delicate collarbones.

Below, she wore light-colored shorts, her long legs gleaming faintly in the firelight.

Jiang Chuan reached out and put his arm around Hanako's waist.

Hanako's body stiffened slightly, then relaxed and leaned into Jiangchuan's arms.

"Jiangchuan..." Hanako's voice was a little soft.

"Um?"

"Tonight... how about...?"

Hanako's face turned red before she could finish speaking.

Jiang Chuan lowered his head and kissed Hua Zi's forehead.

Hanako closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Egawa's neck.

The campfire was still burning, making a faint sound.

The distant grassland was pitch black, with only the sounds of wind and insects.

Jiang Chuan, carrying Hua Zi, walked into a patch of tall grass.

The grass was very tall, reaching above a person's waist.

The two people lay in the grass, with a sky full of stars overhead.

The surrounding area was filled with the scent of grass and the aroma of earth.

Hanako's body is soft and warm.

The moonlight shone on her, making her skin glow white.

Jiang Chuan kissed Hanako's lips, his hands roaming over her body.

Hanako made a soft sound, her body trembling slightly.

The two of them were incredibly close to nature on this vast grassland.

The starry sky is my blanket, and the grass is my bed.

The wind rustled through the grass.

It's like they're playing accompaniment for them.

...............

the next morning.

Xiaoxia climbed out of the tent and yawned.

"Good morning." She rubbed her eyes and saw that Jiang Chuan was already sitting by the campfire.

"Good morning." Jiang Chuan was toasting bread. "Awake? Wash up and get ready for breakfast."

"Where's Hanako-nee?" Xia looked around.

"They went to the river to fetch water," Jiang Chuan said, pointing into the distance.

Xiaoxia said "Oh," squatted down by the campfire, and stared at the bread.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"It's great," Xiaoxia nodded. "It's so quiet to sleep on the grassland."

"That's good."

Hanako returned just then, carrying a water bottle.

She wore a light pink dress today, her hair was draped over her shoulders, and her face had a faint blush.

When walking, the steps are a little light.

Xiaoxia glanced at Huazi, then at Jiangchuan.

"You guys didn't... last night?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chuan asked without changing his expression.

"It's nothing." Xiaoxia pouted. She wasn't stupid; of course she knew what had happened.

However, she didn't say much.

After the three finished breakfast and packed their things, they continued their journey.

...............

After crossing the vast grassland, a large forest came into view.

The trees are tall and dense, their branches and leaves blocking out the sun.

Sunlight could only filter through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

The air in the forest was humid, carrying the scent of earth and leaves.

As soon as Xiaoxia entered the forest, her expression changed.

A green caterpillar hung down from the tree, dangling from a thread, swaying back and forth in front of Xiaoxia.

"ah!!!"

Xiaoxia screamed and grabbed Jiang Chuan's arm.

"Insects! Insects!!!"

"It's just a green caterpillar," Jiang Chuan said helplessly. "It doesn't even bite."

"I don't care! Take it away! Take it away now!" Xiaoxia shouted with her eyes closed.

Jiang Chuan reached out and brushed the green caterpillar away.

Xiaoxia opened her eyes, but she still clung tightly to Jiang Chuan's arm.

"Um... are we still in the protected area?" Xiaoxia asked nervously. "There are so many bugs around. Do the bugs need protection too?"

"According to the map, we should be almost at the wilderness area." Jiang Chuan took out the map and looked at it. "But there are big trees everywhere here, so we can't be sure if we've made it out yet."

"Then let's hurry up and leave, okay?" Xiaoxia looked at Jiang Chuan pitifully. "I don't want to stay here any longer."

"Alright, alright, let's go quickly." Jiang Chuan patted Xiaoxia's head. "But don't be too scared, aren't Pikachu and Eevee protecting you?"

Xiaoxia glanced down at Pikachu and Eevee following at her feet.

The two little ones were looking up at her, their eyes sparkling.

Xiaoxia looked at the two little ones and said earnestly, "Pikachu, Eevee, you two have to protect me!"

"If an insect comes, swat it away! Don't hesitate!"

Pikachu raised its little paw and cried out, indicating that everything was fine.

Ibu rubbed against Misty's leg and made a cute squeaking sound.

Xiaoxia said happily, "We've arrived in the city! I'll buy you tomatoes and fruit biscuits!"

Pikachu and Eevee, hearing about the food, happily hopped around Misty's feet.

Its tail wagged back and forth, it was so happy.

"Alright, let's go." Jiang Chuan walked ahead to clear the way.

Xiaoxia followed closely behind Jiang Chuan, holding onto the hem of his clothes with one hand.

Hanako walked at the very back, glancing around from time to time.

The forest was quiet, with only the rustling sound of footsteps on fallen leaves.

Occasionally, a few Bobos would fly overhead, the sound of their wings flapping echoing through the woods.

After walking for about half an hour, Xiaoxia suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chuan turned around.

"Is there...something over there?" Xiaoxia pointed to the bushes next to them.

Jiang Chuan looked over and saw the bushes swaying slightly.

"It's probably a wild Pokémon," Jiang Chuan said. "We can't fight it, so let's ignore it and keep going."

...............

After walking for a while, Hanako suddenly stopped.

"Huh? What's that?" Hanako looked curiously behind a big tree. "It's so cute, I wish I could catch it."

Jiang Chuan and Xiao Xia both looked over.

A pink head peeked out from behind the big tree; it was round and fluffy.

There's also a pair of small ears on it.

They are really cute.

Xiaoxia also became interested: "What Pokémon? I've never seen one before."

Hanako took two steps forward, trying to get a better look.

The pink head moved, and then slowly stood up.

Hanako was stunned.

That's not a Pokémon.

She was a woman wearing a pink elf hat.

The woman was wearing a uniform and holding a gun, which she pointed at Jiang Chuan and his two companions.

"Don't move! Poachers!"

The voice was clear and crisp, yet carried an absolute air of authority.

Jiang Chuan stopped in his tracks.

Xiaoxia was so frightened that she shrank behind Jiang Chuan.

Hanako also subconsciously took a step back.

The woman emerged from behind the tree.

A pink elf hat, a blue uniform, and black stockings that hugged her long, slender legs.

With a holster on his waist and a tranquilizer gun in his hand, the muzzle was steadily aimed at three people.

It's Officer Jenny.

[Ding! Mission triggered: Assist Officer Jenny in driving away poachers and help find Dashan, the child who was stranded among the marsupials.]

[Quest Rewards: 3 Beginner Pokémon Candies, 3 Intermediate Pokémon Candies]

General favorability with Officer Jenny +10

[Joey Family General Affection +10]

The appearance of Miss Officer Jenny immediately triggered a system notification in Jiang Chuan's ears.

Jiang Chuan briefly glanced at the task.

I got six more magic candies at once.

Jiang Chuan was worried that he couldn't freely hunt wild Pokémon to level up in the reserve and would fall behind in progress, so this task came to him.

In addition, there are also favorability points with the Officer Jenny and the Joey family.

The Officer Jenny family has accumulated 60 points.

The Joey family's general favorability quests are already rare, and this one, being related to the protected area, is a reasonable reward.

Building up goodwill will make things easier in the future...

Jiang Chuan glanced at Miss Officer Jenny.

The uniform accentuated her curves, her long legs were encased in black stockings, and her face held a wary yet refined expression.

If you complete this task again and reach 70 points, the probability of triggering a special interaction will increase significantly.

"We are not poachers." After quickly reviewing the mission, Jiang Chuan raised his hands in a harmless gesture: "We are trainers passing by."

Xiaoxia peeked out from behind Jiang Chuan and nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes! We are good people!"

Hanako quickly added, "We're just passing through this forest on our way to the next city."

Miss Officer Jenny did not lower her gun.

Her eyes scanned back and forth between the three people.

Having dealt with poachers for many years, she has seen far too many tricks up her sleeve.

Some pretended to be trainers, some pretended to be lost tourists, and some even pretended to be researchers.

Everyone claimed to be innocent.

But the moment Jiang Chuan spoke, Jun Sha felt a strange feeling well up inside her.

This person... seems trustworthy.

She couldn't explain why.

It's just an intuition.

It feels like I've known this person for a long time.

Officer Jenny suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and softened her tone: "Please show your identification."

His voice still carried a professional seriousness, but it wasn't as cold anymore.

Jiang Chuan took out a trainer card from his pocket and handed it over.

When Officer Jenny took the card, her fingers accidentally touched Jiang Chuan's hand.

Her fingertips twitched slightly.

My heart skipped a beat.

What happened?

Officer Jenny looked down at the card, trying to hide the slight unease on her face.

The card is real.

The photos match up.

She then looked at Xiaoxia and Huazi, who both took out their identification documents.

"Sorry." Officer Jenny returned the card to Jiang Chuan, finally lowering the gun. "There's been too much poaching activity lately; I was just being overly sensitive."

As she spoke, she emerged completely from the bushes where she had been lying in wait.

Jiang Chuan then got a clear look at Officer Jenny's full appearance.

The blue uniform shirt was stretched taut across the chest.

The buttons were a bit too tight.

Below is a blue short skirt, not the usual bodycon skirt, but a slightly looser style.

But Officer Jenny has a great figure.

The skirt was supported by the curve of her hips, forming a beautiful curve at the top of her thighs.

Black stockings encased her long, straight legs, which shimmered faintly in the dappled sunlight of the forest.

She was wearing a pair of black ankle boots.

She was clean and neat, with the charm of a mature woman.

Jiang Chuan's gaze lingered on Jun Sha's chest for less than a second before naturally shifting away.

"It's breeding season for many Pokémon right now," Officer Jenny sighed. "Poachers like to strike at this time, and with such a large area under my jurisdiction, it's really hard to keep up with everyone."

Her chest rose and fell with her breath as she spoke.

The gap between the uniform buttons was slightly open, revealing a bit of the edge of the black fabric inside.

Jiang Chuan nodded, his expression serious: "I understand. The security work in the protected area is indeed tough."

"Yes," Officer Jenny smiled wryly, "Sometimes you can spend a whole day staking out and not encounter a single suspicious person, but you can't let your guard down."

"Miss Officer Jenny is in charge of such a large area all by herself?" Hanako asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes." Officer Jenny nodded. "This protected area is quite large, but I'm the only Officer Jenny who lives here permanently. It's fine most of the time, but it gets a bit tough during the breeding season."

Jiang Chuan looked at her.

Officer Jenny did look a little tired.

There was a faint bluish tint under his eyes.

I guess they've been staying up late a lot lately to keep an eye on things.

"Miss Officer Jenny, you've worked so hard," Jiang Chuan said earnestly. "Patrolling and keeping watch in such a large forest all by yourself, while also facing dangerous poachers, your dedication is truly admirable."

Officer Jenny paused for a moment.

Then a faint blush rose to her face.

"This...this is what I should do." Officer Jenny's voice was much softer than before. "Protecting Pokémon and maintaining order in the protected area is the duty of our Officer Jenny family."

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "Duty is duty, but it's still rare to see someone so conscientious and responsible."

Officer Jenny was a little embarrassed by the compliments.

She bent down to adjust her hat, taking the opportunity to hide the smile on her face.

This person... has such a pleasant way of speaking.

Moreover, his eyes were very sincere.

Unlike some people who offer compliments but have ulterior motives.

Officer Jenny looked up at Jiang Chuan, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Um... I have a favor to ask."

"you say."

"Since you're trainers, you must all have Pokémon, right?" Officer Jenny said earnestly. "If it's convenient, could you keep an eye out for poachers while we're walking through this forest?"

She quickly added, "You don't need to confront them directly. Just notify me if you discover anything suspicious."

Jiang Chuan smiled after hearing this.

This was a task that was originally meant for him.

"Of course," Jiang Chuan said. "We just happen to be passing through this area anyway, it's a piece of cake."

Officer Jenny's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Really." Jiang Chuan nodded. "Anyway, our Pokémon need training. The poachers aren't within the protected area, are they?"

He spoke with a hint of teasing amusement in his tone.

Officer Jenny was amused.

She looks beautiful when she smiles.

His eyes curved into crescent moons, and the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a row of neat white teeth.

Her entire demeanor transformed from that of a serious professional woman to that of a cute girl next door.

"Yes, poachers are not within the protected area," Officer Jenny said with a smile, "and are a key target for our crackdown."

"That makes things easier." Jiang Chuan cracked his knuckles. "Perfect timing for my Pokémon to stretch its muscles."

As Jun Sha looked at Jiang Chuan, an indescribable feeling of affection welled up inside her.

This person... is really charming.

It's not the kind of charm that's deliberately displayed.

It comes from the very core of one's being.

The way he speaks, his attitude towards doing things, and that just-right sense of humor.

They all make people feel comfortable.

Officer Jenny silently sighed to herself.

What a charismatic trainer!

"Then come with me." Officer Jenny turned around. "Let's go to my camp first, and I'll arrange your lodging and food."

After saying that, Officer Jenny began to lead the way…
