Pokémon travel photography: Starting with riding the wave of popularity.

"An arts festival? You're just a worthless writer, what does this have to do with you?!"

"Just say you're a writer, why do you have to add 'stinky' to that?!"

Wanlong gritted her teeth, glaring fiercely at Xia Mu while taking off her little leather shoes. Her black-stockinged feet were itching to move. She tried to use her feet to shut Xia Mu's infuriating mouth and let him know whether she really smelled bad or not.

However, considering the constant flow of people around, Wanlong temporarily chose to endure it. But in Wanlong's mind, there was already a man with a bad temper being brutally beaten to the ground by the protagonist.

[It has to be inside the toilet...]

Wanlong glared at Xia Mu, her mind filled with images of Xia Mu's tragic fate.avi.

At this moment, Xia Mu was unaware of the various miserable scenes he was experiencing in Wan Long's mind. He looked at the silent Wan Long and nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, it seems what I just said has touched the depths of your soul. I'm very pleased that you have self-awareness..."

"Relieved my foot!"

Wanlong rolled her eyes, deciding to ignore this infuriating guy in front of her. Instead, she chose to heal her wounded heart with cute girls.

"Xiaoyao, Ziyu, it's been so long!!"

"It's been a long time, Miss Wanlong!"

"Oh dear, I already told you to just call me Wanlong..."

Wanlong smiled and corrected Ziyu's address. However, the next moment, she looked at Xiaoyao and Ziyu, who were both tilting their heads and looking at her, and couldn't help but tilt her head as well.

What's wrong with you all?

"I accidentally twisted my ankle..."

"Me too!"

Wanlong's expression was somewhat strange.

"We both got twisted... Is it because of Natsuki?"

"Huh? Wanlong, how did you know?!"

Amid Xiaoyao's shocked question, Wanlong rubbed his nose, banishing the erotic image of the two girls sleeping on Xia Mu's arm, causing him to get a stiff neck, from his mind.

"It's nothing. By the way, what brings you guys here? I was planning to visit you at Orange Academy after the arts festival..."

Wanlong, whose mind was filled with lust, chose to change the subject, and Xiaoyao was easily fooled.

"That's actually how it is!"

Through Xiaoyao's explanation, Wanlong learned about the specifics of Taijing's training and that Xiaoyao was going to challenge the dojo here to pass the test. At the same time, she also learned from Xiaoyao and Ziyu what happened to Xiamu in Yuanmo Town.

"I see, so this is how you can escape punishment..."

Wanlong nodded thoughtfully.

However, Xiaoyao and Ziyu, who heard Wanlong muttering to himself, showed speechless expressions.

"Miss Wanlong, you mustn't go astray!"

"That's right, that's right, there's no good ending to learning from Xia Mu!"

Despite the two women's attempts to dissuade him, Wanlong waved his hand.

"Don't worry, I'm just using it as material for my novel..."

"..."

"..."

Xiaoyao and Ziyu didn't really trust Wanlong. They had just been careless because they hadn't seen her for a long time. But now, they remembered the important fact that Wanlong was a woman who shared the same tastes as Xiamu.

Therefore, when faced with Wanlong's attempt to continue exploring Xia Mu's past and find a way for her to escape punishment when she got into trouble while gathering materials, Xiaoyao and Ziyu immediately became tight-lipped.

Under these circumstances, Xia Mu and Mao Mao completed the basic tasks.

"If I need anything else in the future, I will continue to ask you for help!"

Kouza becomes quite dramatic when it comes to art.

Therefore, when faced with Kou Sha's sudden shout, Xia Mu and Maomao both trembled and were startled.

However, compared to Xia Mu and the cat, Orinyu, who had been obediently following Kosa's side since before, reacted more strongly.

"New!!"

With a scream, a spray of yellow liquid gushed out, instantly turning Xia Mu and Maomao into drowned rats.

"Ah~ I'm sorry!"

"New!"

Amidst the panicked expressions of Kosa and Orinyu, Xia Mu licked the yellow liquid from the corner of his mouth.

"This oil...tastes really good!"

As is well known, there are many economical Pokémon in the Pokémon world.

Tropical Dragon's fruit, Miltank's Moo Moo milk, and Cod's fish meat... these are all economically viable crops that Pokémon can continuously produce.

Orinho, standing before us, is a prime example.

Although she looks like a cute little girl, the yellow fruit on her head, which looks like an ornament, contains fragrant, fresh, and delicious oil.

Slytherin, who was trained by the Gym Leader of Padia Highland, also likes to use oil produced by Orion and its evolved form Orichalco when cooking. Slytherin even specially taught Natsuki how to distinguish the quality of oil produced by Orion.

Even if Xia Mu only went to learn these little bits of knowledge that he would hardly ever use in order to deepen his relationship with Snake Sister.

But at that moment, Xia Mu immediately confirmed one thing based on that knowledge.

That is... the oil produced by Orino is more delicious than the oil I bought from the supermarket before.

"It tastes so good!"

Xia Mu licked the oil from the corner of his mouth and looked at the little cutie in front of him with a look that made Orion involuntarily tremble.

Meanwhile, Kou Sha was still apologizing repeatedly.

"Sorry, this guy sprays oil whenever he's startled. My studio happens to be nearby, so please come to my place to change and get cleaned up..."

Xia Mu nodded.

"Then I'll have to trouble you!"

But does it spray oil whenever it's startled...?

Xia Mu's mischievous schemes began to churn.

At that moment, the wicked little cat seemed to sense Natsuki's thoughts. So, after glancing at Orinyu, who was apologizing along with Kosa with his hands in front of him, the cat couldn't help but turn its gaze to Natsuki.

Just then, Xia Mu also looked at the cat, who was soaking wet.

At this moment, the man and the cat revealed the same smile that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had after borrowing troops from Yuan Shu.

……

In short, under these circumstances, Xia Mu and his companions arrived at Kou Sha's studio.

This is a two-story villa covered with ivy, and on the lawn outside the studio are many of Koza's past sculptures.

Tropical dragon sculptures, Four Seasons Deer Horticulture...

Even inside the room, you can see many everyday items with Pokémon designs at a glance.

Sunflower seed-shaped flowerpots, carnivorous plant-shaped teapots, and gnome tree-shaped coat racks...

Once you get to the bathroom, you'll see an Olive-shaped faucet and showerhead, and next to the showerhead is a sculpture shaped like a Lucky Kappa.

Furthermore, Natsuki also discovered...

Pressing Lucky Kappa's left hand will produce shower gel in his mouth, while pressing his right hand will produce shampoo.

Faced with such a novel toy, Xia Mu immediately became engrossed in playing with it.

"Hey hey hey!"

With a strange laugh, Xia Mu not only gave the cat a bath, but also Snake Sister and the other Pokémon. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Salt Giant is a Rock-type Pokémon, Xia Mu would have even wanted to give it a bath as well.

Chapter 268 I'm going to drain you dry!

In short, after washing up and deciding that her future house should also be designed in this way, Xia Mu walked out of the bathroom with a refreshing smile.

Then, while drying her hair, Xia Mu noticed the strange looks from the people sitting in the living room drinking tea.

After checking his pants and confirming that he was properly dressed, Xia Mu looked at the group with a puzzled expression.

"what happened?"

When faced with Xia Mu's question, Wanlong immediately rolled her eyes.

"Shouldn't we be the ones saying that? Why are you making that lewd laugh while you're taking a shower..."

If Wanlong hadn't missed hearing anything strange while eavesdropping, she would have thought Xia Mu was up to something that couldn't pass censorship.

"The main problem is that the Lucky Kappa sculpture is so funny, you can easily fall into it..."

Upon hearing this, Kosa's smile immediately brightened.

"Hahaha, isn't that interesting? That's one of my proudest works. Although the carving and materials may look like a replica of the real thing, with passion, it can become a masterpiece that surpasses the original!!!"

"New!!"

Once again startled by Kosa's loud shouting, Orinho covered his face and screamed. At the same time, golden vegetable oil spurted out from the olive on Orinho's head.

However, unlike the previous time when she was soaked, this time Natsuki was prepared for it.

"Meow!"

Amidst the cat's triumphant meows, everyone looked on in surprise as the cat suddenly appeared before them, one foot on the coffee table and the other holding a glass jar.

"So fast!"

Where did you find the canned food jar?

"The oil...it's all been collected!!"

Amidst the three women's surprised exclamations, Xia Mu revealed a smug smile.

"The same moves won't work on a Saint Seiya!"

Magic Masked Cat, as the name suggests, is a cat that wears a mask and uses magic tricks and illusions.
