Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Jiang Chuan turned around and walked towards the cherry blossoms.

Sakura stood still, her hands clasped in front of her chest, her eyes fixed on Jiang Chuan.

She saw it all clearly from behind.

Jiang Chuan stood alone by the water; his Venusaur had already been returned to its Poké Ball.

Then he closed his eyes and stood motionless for a long time.

There was no movement on the water.

Gyarados didn't reappear.

The entire underground space was so quiet that only the dripping sound of leaking water pipes could be heard.

Sakura was feeling quite apprehensive at the time.

Will this person run into some kind of problem?

Why did it suddenly stop moving?

She almost called out to him.

But I'm also afraid of disturbing something.

Just as he was hesitating, Jiang Chuan opened his eyes.

Then he walked towards her.

"nailed it."

Jiang Chuan walked up to the cherry blossoms, speaking casually as if he were talking about something trivial.

Cherry blossoms paused for a moment.

"Is it... all done?"

She repeated it again, somewhat incredulously.

Jiang Chuan nodded.

"Well, that Gyarados said it would rest for two days so you could repair the gym." He paused. "Is two days enough?"

Sakura nodded quickly.

"That's enough! Two days is more than enough!"

When she said this, her mind was still a complete mess.

Is that all?

This is what she just witnessed—

Jiang Chuan called Venusaur back, then walked to the water's edge and stood there with his eyes closed for a while.

Then Gyarados roared a few times underwater.

Then Jiang Chuan came back.

They said it's all sorted out.

Gone.

that's it?

Sakura blinked and couldn't help but ask, "What were you doing by the water just now? How did you manage to get it all done?"

Her tone was full of disbelief.

To be honest, from Sakura's perspective, the development of this matter has completely exceeded her comprehension.

First, Jiangchuan's Venusaur beat up Gyarados.

Then Jiang Chuan stood alone by the water, just standing there quietly.

There were no announcements, no commands, and nothing was done.

How many minutes did you stand there for?

Then Gyarados roared a few times underwater.

Then Jiang Chuan came back and said it was all done.

What kind of operation is this?

Sakura looked at Jiang Chuan, her shock impossible to hide.

Jiang Chuan smiled.

"Oh, this."

He thought about how to explain it, and finally decided to keep it simple.

"A special ability trained during the journey, um, it makes it easier to communicate with Pokémon."

"I was just communicating with that Gyarados."

Cherry blossoms stared wide-eyed.

"communicate?"

"Just standing there... and you can communicate with Gyarados?"

Jiang Chuan nodded.

"More or less."

"Anyway, Gyarados has already agreed to two days."

"Let's go up first."

As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the passageway.

Sakura followed behind him, her eyes shining as she watched his back.

This Jiangchuan.

How can someone have so many amazing abilities?

First, there was that Venusaur whose strength was ridiculously high.

Then there's this special ability to communicate directly with Pokémon.

He can fight and communicate well.

Sakura has never seen many trainers like this in her life.

As Sakura thought about this, a thought suddenly popped into her mind.

oops~

That brat Xiaoxia.

You mustn't let such a powerful man get away.

Sakura was extremely anxious inside.

She had asked Xiaoxia this question before.

What was Xiaoxia's reaction at the time?

She blushed, stammered, and then loudly denied it.

But Sakura's intuition told her that Xia was definitely not telling the truth.

That brat is so stubborn.

She wouldn't say anything when asked.

Sakura walked behind, watching Jiang Chuan's back.

His soaked shirt clung to his back, revealing glimpses of his well-defined muscles.

He wasn't the kind of exaggeratedly muscular, but you could tell at a glance that he was very powerful.

He has a straight back and walks with a steady gait.

Sakura's gaze unconsciously shifted downwards a little.

Then quickly take it back.

The key issue is that brat Xiaoxia.

Have they made their move yet?

Sakura became increasingly anxious as she thought about it.

What if Xiaoxia doesn't make a move yet, and such a good man is snatched away by someone else?

She just saw it with her own eyes.

Jiang Chuan can even handle a Gyarados just by standing by the water.

If Xia lets this kind of man go, she'll regret it for the rest of her life.

Sakura sighed inwardly.

Ouch.

That brat Xiaoxia.

He's being stubborn and won't tell me the truth.

I'm so anxious!

Her mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts, but her feet didn't stop.

Follow Jiang Chuan up the passage.

Both of them were soaked through, their clothes clinging to their bodies.

Water droplets dripped down the hem of her clothes.

The passageway was rather dimly lit, making it difficult to see details clearly.

But Sakura still subconsciously looked away from Jiangchuan's back.

I can't watch anymore.

If she looked any longer, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist touching it.

That would be truly embarrassing.

Sakura secretly made plans in her heart.

When I get back, I must find an opportunity to ask Xia properly.

Even if Xiaoxia is stubborn and won't say it.

She also needed to find a way to get information out of him.

If all else fails...

Sakura bit her lip.

If all else fails, she'll do it herself.

Anyway, Hua Lan Dojo needs a man like Jiang Chuan right now.

If Xiaoxia hasn't won her over yet, then as her older sister, she'll have to step in herself first!

Sakura found a plausible reason for her wicked thoughts in her heart.

Then he nodded in satisfaction.

But the anxiety is only in my heart.

On the surface, the cherry blossoms maintained their usual peaceful demeanor.

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

On land.

Xia was hiding behind Hanako, her head bobbing left and right as she observed the situation at the entrance of the passage.

She has been holding this position for several minutes.

Hanako was poked in the waist several times by her.

"Xia, don't be in such a hurry," Hanako said helplessly.

Xiaoxia pouted.

"How can I not be in a hurry?"

"That's a Gyarados! I was terrified of it when I was a kid..."

She swallowed her words halfway through her sentence.

I really don't want to talk about that experience of being bitten on the head by a Gyarados again.

Xiaoxia poked Huazi's waist again.

"Sakura-neechan and Egawa are down there, won't they cause any big problems?"

Her tone was full of worry.

Hanako tilted her head and pondered for a moment.

"I may not be very clear about your sister's abilities."

"But I believe Jiang Chuan should be able to handle this situation."

Hanako's tone was very confident.

After all, she had known Jiang Chuan for quite some time.

She had a lot of confidence in this man's abilities.

Moreover, when Jiang Chuan went down just now, his expression was very calm.

I felt no tension at all.

That means he's confident.

Hanako added, "Besides, isn't that Gyarados your gym's heritage Pokémon?"

"Even if it's furious or enraged, it wouldn't hurt your sister, would it?"

Xiaoxia pouted when she heard this.

"Hard to say."

It bit me when I was a child.

Hanako: "..."

That's really hard to refute.

After all, Xiaoxia's fear of Gyarados is a genuine childhood trauma.

It can't be eliminated with just a few words.

Xia looked down at the three little ones beside her.

Ibu squatted at her feet, his ears twitching every now and then.

Pikachu stood next to Eevee, its tail slightly raised.

Pokopf's round eyes looked around.

Xiaoxia thought for a moment and then said, "Well, which of you three will go take a look at that cave entrance?"

"Let's see if Jiang Chuan and my sister are back yet."

Pikachu nodded upon hearing this.

Then, he took small steps toward the entrance of the passage.

Its steps were light and quick, without any sense of tension.

Xiaoxia watched nervously from behind.

Pikachu walked to the edge of the passage and poked its little head out to look inside.

Just then, Jiangchuan and Yinghua came up from inside.

Pikachu's eyes lit up immediately.

It turned around and waved its little paws in the direction of Xiaoxia and Hanako.

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

His voice was full of excitement.

Hanako and Misty breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Pikachu's response.

"I'm back, I'm back." Xiaoxia patted her chest.

But after Jiangchuan and Sakura got closer...

The two of them froze in shock again.

Jiang Chuan and Yinghua were both soaked to the bone.

Her clothes clung to her body, and her hair was still dripping wet.

Especially cherry blossoms.

Her long dress was already thin, and after it got soaked in water, it clung to her legs.

Water droplets were still dripping from the hem of her skirt.

Xiaoxia and Huazi quickly stepped forward.

"What happened?"

"Why are you two soaking wet?"

Hanako frowned, her voice full of worry.

Xiaoxia also asked, "What happened down there? Where's the Gyarados?"

Sakura walked up from behind Jiang Chuan and waved.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing."

"It was just a minor accident."

Her tone was relaxed, as if she were talking about something insignificant.

"They sprayed water as soon as we went in, that's why we all got wet."

"Anyway, the situation has already been resolved with Jiang Chuan's help."

Sakura became happier and happier as she talked, and a smile appeared on her face.

"We have two days to repair the water pipes in this area."

"Gyarados has promised not to cause trouble."

Xiaoxia blinked.

"You agreed?"

"It's that simple?"

Sakura nodded, then changed the subject.

"Xiaoxia, Jiang Chuan is such a powerful man!"

"What your sister told you before..."

She's about to start her classic nagging routine again.

But Xiaoxia reacted faster than her.

Xiaoxia, with her sharp eyes, immediately noticed something amiss about Sakura.

"what!"

She exclaimed in surprise, interrupting Sakura's words.

Then he pointed to the cherry blossoms' clothes and skirt.

"Sister, your skirt!"

"This clothing is way too thin!"

Just now in the passage, the light was dim, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Now we've reached a place with light.

Her wet dress and clothes clung to Sakura's body.

The light-colored top, after being soaked in water, became almost translucent.

It adheres tightly to the skin.

Outline the following graceful curves.

more importantly.

Through that thin layer of water-soaked fabric.

The outline of the underwear inside is clearly visible.

The white lace bra adorned with cherry blossoms created a delicate contrast with the skin that was faintly visible beneath her top.

Water droplets slid down the lines of the collarbone.

Slide into the ravine covered by fabric.

And the lower body.

The long dress, once wet, clung tightly to her legs.

The curves of her buttocks were clearly outlined.

The same white lace panties, with the floral pattern on the edges, were faintly visible through the wet skirt.

The lace trim sits perfectly at the waistline.

After being soaked in water, the color of the lace became lighter.

Her skin almost blended in with the cherry blossoms' fair complexion.

But upon closer inspection, one can discern subtle differences in texture.

Water droplets dripped down the hem of her skirt, falling one by one onto the ground.

The cherry blossoms made her look exceptionally charming.

The charm that mature women exude unintentionally after being soaked in water is more alluring than any deliberate makeup.

Xiaoxia's face immediately turned red.

"Sister, quickly block it!"

She said in a low, hurried voice.

Sakura looked down at her clothes.

Then he raised his head, his expression calm.

They even seemed a little indifferent.

"What's wrong?"

"Wearing a swimsuit in the pool looks pretty much like this."

She spoke very naturally, without feeling that there was anything wrong with it at all.

And to be honest.

Sakura didn't really care about this matter.

There was only Jiang Chuan around, and it seemed like he would have to see this outfit sooner or later!

Now that he's seen it, what does it matter?

Then there's the time she performs synchronized swimming at the dojo.

The swimsuit she was wearing wasn't much different from her current condition.

At most, the outline is more obvious when it's soaked than when wearing a swimsuit.

But so what?

Jiang Chuan is a member of the Hua Lan Dojo family.

So what if he saw it?

Sakura even secretly glanced at Jiang Chuan.

I noticed that his gaze was quite ordinary.

I neither stared at them intentionally nor avoided them.

He was just standing there normally.

He didn't seem to care much about his current appearance.

Sakura felt a little disappointed for no apparent reason.

However, the thought only flashed through my mind.

Xiaoxia certainly understood these principles; Jiangchuan was so strong, he would definitely be the pillar of the dojo in the future.

He saw it, so what? It's really no big deal.

Xiaoxia knew exactly what was going on.

Her shout was not primarily intended to protect her sister's image.

Rather, it was to avoid Sakura-neechan's embarrassing advice.

"Oh dear, sister, it's all right now!"

"Your clothes are all soaked, go back and change right away!"

As Xiaoxia spoke, she stepped forward and grabbed Yinghua's arm.

Then he turned to look at Jiang Chuan.

"Um, Jiang Chuan, thank you!"

"Um...you can remember your contribution today for later!"

She paused for a moment, as if considering her words.

Then he added a sentence very quickly.

"I'll reward you even more!"

After saying that, Xiaoxia's ears turned red.

That was said too hastily.

It sounds like it's hinting at something.

But the words have already been spoken, and there's no going back.

Xiaoxia simply didn't give herself a chance to hesitate.

Then he turned to Hanako and said, "Hanako-nee, could you please take care of Jiangchuan for a while?"

"I'll take my sister to change her clothes first!"

After saying that, she pushed Cherry Blossom away quickly.

The two figures quickly disappeared around the corner of the dojo.

Jiang Chuan stood there, watching Xiaoxia's flustered figure.

And then there's the way cherry blossom's white lace panties are subtly revealed beneath her skirt.

He nodded slightly.

Then he muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"What do you mean by doubling?"

"Are the numbers doubled?"

The sound wasn't loud, but Hanako next to her could hear it clearly.

Hanako took a few steps closer and gently patted Jiang Chuan's arm.

The force wasn't strong; it was more like a reminder.

"You."

"What naughty things are you thinking about now?"

There was no blame in her tone, but rather a hint of helpless indulgence.

Jiang Chuan turned to look at Hanako.

Hanako did not avoid his gaze.

She withdrew her hand and then gestured with her chin towards the main building of the dojo.

"They're gone, they're gone."

"Go change your wet clothes."

"Let me blow-dry your hair."

Her voice was very gentle, as if she were coaxing a troublesome child.

But her gaze lingered for a moment on Jiang Chuan's soaked clothes.

The shirt clung to his body.

His shoulders and back were outlined more clearly than usual.

Hanako's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Then she turned around first and walked towards the main building.

The pace was neither fast nor slow.

Jiang Chuan followed behind her with a smile. The two of them walked into the corridor of the dojo one after the other.
