I've seen many people raising wives, but this is the first time I've seen someone raising

"Do not want to."

Hearing this, Xia Mu, who was reading a book, answered without thinking.

Rather than playing in the mud, he is more interested in books and Pokémon.

And the most crucial point was that his keen intuition told him that Tess didn't want him to make too many friends.

Of course, maybe the other party himself doesn't realize this.

Hearing Xia Mu's answer, Latias felt happy for some reason.

But thinking about the contents in the parenting manual, she felt that it was time for her to take on her responsibilities as a mother and correct her child's strange personality.

Thinking of this, she moved a little closer to Xia Mu.

While recalling the contents of the book, she said:

"Xia Mu, it's the right thing for children to fully socialize. There's no point living alone."

Xia Mu felt helpless when he heard Latias' emotionless praise.

He put down the book in his hand, sat up, looked at Latias, and asked:

"You want me to socialize?"

"That's what it says in the parenting manual," Latias answered honestly.

Then she added:

“I want to be a good mother.”

Hearing this, Xia Mu couldn't help but smile.

"What qualified mother would train her child to sit down and shake hands while also letting the child call her master?"

"Ok?"

Hearing Xia Mu's question, a blush visibly appeared on Latias's fair face.

She waved her hand and said stumblingly:

"Then, wasn't that title abandoned long ago?"

"You...you are not allowed to mention it again!"

After being integrated into human society for a long enough time, Latias has accumulated a considerable amount of common sense in life.

This includes the ambiguous term "master", which should not be used casually between people.

She finally understood why Miss Junsha looked at her as if she were a criminal.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Xia Mu gently threw himself into Latias's arms, buried his face between his legs, and said in a muffled voice:

"Don't force yourself. The content in the book is just for reference."

The warm breath hit the sensitive parts of the body, causing Latias to stiffen.

But after hearing what Xia Mu said, she relaxed again.

"Ah."

Latias responded softly.

Ever since Xia Mu grew up, she sometimes had an illusion.

That is, the other party is a being similar to a trainer, and he is just a baby under his protection.

However, being Xia Mu’s Pokémon...seems pretty good too?

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Latias was shocked himself.

She quickly dismissed this horrible thought and instead stroked Xia Mu on her legs.

No matter what, Xia Mu must not discover the identity of his Pokémon. This is not just an agreement at the time.

She was even more afraid that Xia Mu would find out the truth and become distant from her.

She would never allow anyone to speak out about this kind of thing.

Latias made up his mind.

[At the age of 5, at the suggestion of your neighbor, Latias reluctantly sent you to the city's trainer school.]

[At the school gate, many immature children cried and expressed their desire not to go to school. Their parents often used sweet words to deceive these immature children.]

[However, it seems to be the other way around with you...]

"Are you really going to school?"

Latias's watery eyes turned red, and the telekinesis he conveyed was full of reluctance.

"I'll be back in the afternoon."

Xia Mu said helplessly.

As the people around him looked at him curiously, he reached out his hand and pinched Tis's soft face.

"I promise to go home as soon as possible after school and will not be abducted by others."

Knowing what Tess was worried about, Xia Mu simply went along with her and comforted her.

Sure enough, as he finished speaking, the dissatisfaction on Latias's face diminished a bit.

"I, I know."

[With your comfort, Latias will let you go to school alone for the time being. ]

【For some time afterwards, you can't help but regret your decision. 】

[Because you found that the so-called trainer school is essentially no different from the kindergarten that you sneered at.]

[The biggest difference...maybe the school can use its money to get a batch of gentle initial Pokémon, so that you can experience the feeling of being a trainer in advance. ]

"Xia Mu, what Pokémon are you going to choose?"

On the way home from school, a little boy with white hair came up to him, looked at the form in Xia Mu's hand and asked.

The boy's name was Zifuchi Daigo. He was a friend Xia Mu had made not long ago and had a small family in the local area.

"Not ready yet."

Xia Mu looked at the list in his hand with some confusion and answered.

To be honest, he didn't want to choose his starting Pokémon from these artificially domesticated Pokémon.

Rather than being arranged in an orderly manner and obtaining these Pokémon effortlessly, Xia Mu would rather capture them with his own hands.

Looking at Xia Mu's struggle, Daigo's eyes lit up and he felt like he had found a confidant.

"Sure enough, Xia Mu, you don't like these Pokémon in school either?"

Coincidentally, Daigo also didn't want to accept the school's arrangement.

Rather than the regular three starter Pokémon, he, who loves stones, would like to find a Pokémon suitable for mining.

At Daigo's invitation, the two decided to take some time to go to Meteor Falls in the north to look for Pokémon that suit them.

[After returning home, Tiss showed considerable curiosity about the Pokémon you were going to choose.]

[But after you told her that you didn't want to choose your initial Pokémon, Tis's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.]

"Xia, Xia Mu, don't you like Pokémon?" Latias asked with a trembling voice.

Chapter 51: Can I invite you to be my Pokémon?

"Why do you ask?"

Hearing Tess's question, Xia Mu paused and gave her a puzzled look.

"You...don't want to choose Pokémon?" Latias asked nervously.

Beneath her calm appearance, her heart was pounding.

Latias can accept any of Xia Mu's preferences, but only when it comes to Pokémon...

She didn't know, if Xia Mu hated Pokémon, then when her identity was exposed one day, would the other party also hate her.

This made Latias extremely nervous.

Looking at the frightened Tess, Xia Mu became more and more confused.

After thinking about what he had just said and done, he still couldn't find the reason why the other party was so emotional.

However, although he didn't know the reason, Xia Mu had rich experience in comforting Tess.

He stood up and walked to the other person's side and sat down. He gently held the delicate hand and explained:

"I just don't want to choose the Pokémon offered by the school, not that I don't like Pokémon myself."

The moment his hand was held, Latias' body stiffened involuntarily, and a beautiful layer of light blush appeared on his face.

Even though she has lived with Xia Mu for several years, she still feels shy and unnatural when faced with certain intimate contacts.

But despite this, she still overcame the urge to pull her hand away and asked:

"I don't like the Pokémon at school. Why?"

"Maybe it doesn't meet my requirements for Pokémon."

Xia Mu shook his head. Being still young, he didn't know how to describe his feelings.

But there is one thing he is sure of - what he wants is a partner and family who can accompany him, not just Pokémon.

Latias wanted to continue asking what Xia Mu meant by "request".

But before she spoke, she keenly noticed the fleeting confusion in Xia Mu's eyes.

Based on her understanding of Xia Mu, she immediately realized that the other party himself did not have clear boundaries regarding "requirements".

Latias couldn't help but clench his palms.

Compared to the past, she was more afraid of having her identity discovered by Xia Mu.

In the past two years, her brother had suggested that she reveal the identity of the Pokémon to Xia Mu in a subtle way and observe the other party's reaction.

Latias was originally tempted by this suggestion, but now that she knew Xia Mu did not like all Pokémon, she made a secret decision.

——Never reveal your identity.

She would rather spend her life with the other person in human form than risk revealing her true form and being hated.

As Latias made up his mind, Xia Mu glanced at his palms that had been clenched until they turned white.

His keen intuition told him that Tis was hiding a secret from him.

[You are keenly aware that your mother is hiding something from you, but your considerate nature makes you decide not to dig deeper into the issue.]

[You just keep this in mind silently. If Tess doesn't say anything, you decide not to ask about it for the rest of your life.]

[At the age of 6, the original Pokémon mentioned last time has arrived at the school, but among the enthusiastic students, you and Daigo have become the outliers. ]

"Eh? Aren't Daigo and Xiamu going to choose their starting Pokémon?"

The teacher in charge of recording widened his eyes slightly and asked in disbelief.

Pokémon, this magical creature that is popular among people of all ages, in her opinion, it is impossible for anyone to resist it.

"Well, there are no Pokémon in here that Xia Mu and I want."

Daigo spread his hands and said with inexplicable pride.

Recently, he has had an idea about the Pokémon he likes.

He was deeply fascinated by the other person's clear lines and seductive appearance, and the cool touch made him want to hold her in bed and sleep at night.

Looking back at Pokémon like Boseong and Swampjumper, Daigo suddenly felt bored.

These mortals have no idea how wonderful it is to have iron dumbbells with cyber aesthetics that can mine both online and offline.
