He thought he had found the reason why the dream demon came to him along with the mansion, but Gengar's words added some other factors to the answer he found.

And judging from Gengar's performance, this should be something that all the Pokémon in the mansion know.

"Did the Dream Demon himself say this?"

"Yes, that's right~" Geng Gui nodded, "I haven't seen the Dream Demon leave the mansion since I met him."

John nodded without further questioning, and then silently overturned his previous idea that the mansion was using the power of the dream demon to maintain its operation.

This idea is extremely wrong!

The real answer should be the other way around!

It is the dream demon that has been relying on the power of the mansion to sustain its existence!

The reason is also very simple!

If the Dream Demon he dreamed of was really the former Dream Demon, and if the Dream Demon could not leave the mansion as Gengar said, then it was obviously impossible for the Dream Demon to become a dominant Pokémon!

That is to say...

Is it the power of the mansion itself that is feeding back to the dream demon?

Doesn't seem right...

Recalling the message he had captured when the mansion opened the door and closed the curtains for him, John realized that things were not that simple.

The dream demon seemed to have become a part of the mansion without knowing it, otherwise it would not have said that it was the mansion itself that carefully helped it close the curtains.

Although this is indeed true, considering the Dream Demon's obsession with 'becoming a family', Jon believes that his speculation should be correct.

And if that's the case...

"We've reached the entrance~!"

Gengar's voice interrupted Jon's thoughts, and then he heard the creaking sound of the door opening.

"Although no one in the mansion needs to eat, the Dream Demon said that the food in the kitchen is all fresh. Mongoose also likes to eat fresh food!"

As Gengar finished his words, Mongoose rushed into the kitchen and happily pushed a small basket of eggs in front of Jon.

It was already full, but it thought Jon must be hungry.

Just like the reversal of the situation when he first met the meerkat.

Not refusing the meerkat's kindness, Jon picked up the eggs with a smile.

"You've also used it to entertain other guests, right?"

He still remembered what the Dream Demon said about the mansion not refusing any visitor, just like the Pokémon he met along the way in his dream were not only not hostile but also willing to play with him for a while.

But in the end, those Pokémon all...

"Yeah!" Geng Gui nodded, then became a little disappointed, "But the previous guests didn't want to stay in the end."

This answer did not surprise Jon.

"Geng Gui wants to find his family too?"

Gengar opened his mouth, but couldn't answer the question.

Jon was not in a hurry either, he just quietly prepared dinner for himself.

It was a long time before he heard Gengar's voice again.

"I...I don't know..."

Gengar, standing alone in the back, looked at Jon and the Frostmilks surrounding him, with a hint of envy in his tone that he himself was not aware of.

"Dream Demon has been looking for his family all the time. If he finds them, he will be very happy~"

This sentence startled Frosty the Milkman, who was trying to secretly inject cream into the beaten eggs, and then he turned around and looked at Gengar curiously.

"Eh-bo? Eh-bo-eh-bo-eh-bo!"

Frosty the Frost waved her little hands and called to Gengar in a soft voice. Even Mimikyu, who had been paying attention to Jon's movements, turned around.

"Why would you go looking for other families when you already have each other? I don't know. Meng Yaomo has always said that she has not succeeded yet."

“Eh-bo~eh-bo-eh-bo?!”

"Angry Kou Jie? Why would you be angry Kou Jie?" Geng Gui shook his head and said, "Everyone likes Meng Yao Mo, and Meng Yao Mo is also very good to us."

"Chirp?"

"You don't like it? Do you still think that maybe the dream demon doesn't want to become a family with us? No, the dream demon has been trying hard to become a family with us."

The meerkat opened his mouth but said nothing.

It doesn't understand these complicated things.

Compared to these, food and friends are the most important.

Is there any difference between family and friends?

The meerkat couldn't help but look up at Jon. He felt that Jon must know the answer.

But what confused it was that John seemed not to hear the argument between Gengar, Frostmilax and Mimikyu, and was concentrating on the work at hand.

"Huh?"

The meerkat tugged at Jon's sleeve with its less-than-pewed claw.

"It's fine..."

Jon rubbed the meerkat's head and spoke softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Of course he was listening to the discussion between Gengar and the little guys, but the reason he didn't answer Gengar was that he wanted Dream Demon to hear Gengar's thoughts as well.

Although it is not known how the Dream Demon is observing him, if it is really doing so, then it should be able to hear this conversation.

...

...

[Why do I feel like we are a bunch of idiots who don’t understand each other’s feelings. 】

[It shouldn't be that troublesome. Perhaps it's just that the Dream Demon has very high expectations for his "family". And judging from Gengar's behavior, the Dream Demon is not unilaterally asking them to do something. He just thinks that he can't do it yet.]

[It's impossible that they think that there needs to be a blood relationship. 】

[Obviously impossible! Based on the Dream Demon's previous behavior, do you think it wouldn't understand this? ]

Looking at the debate on the live broadcast room, Meng Yaomo sighed imperceptibly.

Of course it knew what the little guys in the mansion were thinking, but it was not enough.

The mansion had once saved it, and all it asked for was for it to stay and become a family member.

It promised, but after so many years it still hasn't been able to actually do it.

The reason for thinking this way is simple: the mansion itself feels that it is not enough.

It's as if there's always been something missing.

so...

Since it and the most important mansion are not even family members, it is even more impossible for it to be family members with Gengar and the others.

The Dream Demon didn't know if it had done something wrong, but it had been working hard to fulfill the promise.

"It will definitely work this time, because we finally see humans, right?"

A gentle voice rang out in the room where only the dream demon was, as if comforting its anxious companion.

"If he can devote his heart to a unicorn beetle, then he will definitely accept you without hesitation."

Chapter 52: Gengar: Or...will you still marry into the family?

"So the Dream Demon actually has a very strange tone. He has been muttering about humans from the very beginning."

Although he was unable to come to a conclusion with Frostmilx and Mimikyu, Gengar was clearly in a much better mood than when he was standing alone just now.

It was obviously a very ordinary communication, but Gengar felt satisfied for the first time, and it made him happier than any prank he had done before.

"But at that time, I and everyone else had no idea what humans were like~"

Having said that, Gengar, holding his chubby belly, looked at Jon.

"The Dream Demon explained that the mansion is where humans live, so will Jon stay?"

This sentence made Frost Fairy and the others focus their attention back on Jon.

Seeing this, Jon finally stopped being silent and tapped Frosty's face with a smile.

"Does Frostmilk like living here?"

"Eh Boo!"

"Frost Milk Fairy said that as long as she is with you, Jon, she will like you everywhere."

"What about Mimikyu-Q?"

Jon looked at Mimikyu who was floating back to him.

"Chirp!"

Mimikyu rubbed it against Jon's face.

"Mimikki said it was also Koujie."

Gengar's translation made Jon smile widely, and he scratched Mongoose-shao's chin.

"And Mr. Mongoose, since you've already chased us out, don't go back."

The meerkat nodded shyly.

Gengar began to feel envious again, and then heard Jon answer its question.

“So it doesn’t matter where you live; it’s what matters.”

Jon pointed at Frosty Milk Fairy, and then at the three little guys including Ironshell Kun.

"As long as I'm with them, anywhere is home."

Frost Fairy covered her face shyly, and her little body seemed to be unable to control the sweet scent.

Gengar became even more envious, but Jon's answer was obviously not just to make Gengar feel this way.

"So I think the Dream Demon just hasn't figured out its own feelings yet. Maybe once it gets out of this dead end, it will know the answer."

Although he still hasn't figured out why this mansion appeared in this world, John understands that it is not difficult to become a "family member" in the eyes of the dream demon.

All I want is to become a part of this mansion, just like the dream demon I once was.

But this simple step becomes complicated because of the dream demon's thoughts.

He had previously asked the Dream Demon whether the relationship between it and Gengar could be considered family, and the Dream Demon’s answer was that it was not enough.

In this case...

Jon picked up his thoughts which had been interrupted by Gengar.

The mansion will take good care of every guest, and to some extent, the dream demon has become a part of the mansion.

Then comes the most important green cone!

The appearance of the green cones proved that the dream demon had not deceived him, and as long as he chose to stay, the problem of Iron Shell Kun would be solved.

The mansion will help him solve it!

Simply put, the mansion should be similar to a wishing house that can fulfill the wishes of every guest, and the price the guest has to pay is to stay and become the "family" it wants.

It's a bit weird, but the mansion itself doesn't force guests to stay. On the contrary...

John thought that if he was not mistaken, then this mansion would respect the ideas of every "family member".

This was the dead end that Jon saw as trapping the Dream Demon.

The Dream Demon wanted to become a member of the mansion's family, but from the moment it was rescued, it became the mansion itself.

The dream demon is the Western-style house, and the Western-style house is the dream demon.

So the reason why the dream demon can't do it is obvious, it can't become one's family.

At the same time, this is also the basis for John to believe that the mansion will respect the ideas of every "family member".
