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

“People who like personality and nature may like this place very much.”

Hearing Xia Mu's answer, Latios nodded in approval.

"What if you were asked to live here forever and could only go out at very rare times?" he asked.

"Then I will probably feel bored and want to escape from here."

Xia Mu answered without hesitation.

The ecology on the island is certainly good, and there are Pokémon like Cassie to keep you company.

but...

After witnessing the complexity of human society and tasting the mundane world, he could no longer tolerate such an isolated life as a master.

Maybe it would be okay for a week or two, but over time, he would definitely want to return to human society.

Latios was not surprised by Xia Mu's answer, because...

"Latias thought so too," he replied.

"Song went to Latias in human society once, and became fascinated by that place which is completely different from the Pokémon world."

"She might have been able to suppress the itch in her heart before, but since you showed up, she has completely lost her concerns about this."

"Because she wants to stay with you in the human world."

Thinking of the time when he tried to call the other party back but was angrily retorted, Latios' heart seemed to bleed.

My sister...ran away with someone!

Although he felt upset, Latios didn't show it on his face.

After looking at Latias in Xia Mu's arms, he continued:

"Latias's choice is not wrong. As his brother, I should support him."

"But... you should know that she has a special physique, right?"

Hearing this, Xia Mu nodded slightly.

Latias had confessed to her about her body before, and Xia Mu knew why she often smelled the scent of honey on him.

"I will protect her from poachers," he replied.

However, Latios shook his head when he heard this and handed him a handful of something that looked like gems.

"This is?"

Xia Mu frowned and asked.

"These are one hundred star fragments, which can be sold for an unimaginably high price in the human world."

"I hope you can take this living allowance and leave, stay away from Latias from now on, and leave his safety to me."

"Human society is ultimately too dangerous for her."

Latios stated his purpose.

As he spoke, he observed Xia Mu calmly, as if trying to find out something.

Greed for money is a common desire among human beings.

Although Latios could understand, he would not allow his sister to be around such a human.

He wanted to see if Xia Mu could withstand such a test.

Hearing this, Xia Mu understood what Latios wanted to express.

His expression couldn't help but turn a little colder.

He would not allow anyone to try to take Tis away from him, even if it was the other person's brother.

He looked at Latios's eyes, which were slightly darker than those of Disi, and said word by word:

"I won't interfere with my mother's choice. I will stay with her forever until she gets tired of human society."

"As for safety issues..."

"If something like what happened a few days ago happens again, I am willing to protect Tis's safety with my life."

"You don't need to worry about this matter."

Xia Mu did not lie about this.

To him, Latias is indeed more important than his own life. After all, he was able to grow up to this age thanks to the other's care.

Perhaps realizing that Xia Mu was not lying, Latios's expression softened a lot.

Until now, he has somewhat approved of his sister's choice back then.

Following Xia Mu is indeed a better choice than following his brother who only has a few years left to live.

"I hope you can remember what I said today."

After the test, Latios said to Xia Mu with some relief.

After he finished speaking, he seemed to want to say something else.

But after noticing the slightly raised corners of his sister's mouth, Latios suddenly stopped talking after realizing something.

He didn't say anything else. After handing Xia Mu a letter that had been prepared long ago, he turned and flew into the night sky.

[Your conversation with Latios came to an abrupt end, and you couldn't help but feel a little strange. ]

【But after deep thinking, you realize one thing——

Although Latias cannot hear your conversation directly, he can use telepathy to borrow your ears to observe the entire conversation process. 】

This silly mom is really smart for once.

Xia Mu looked at the other person's slightly raised mouth with some helplessness, and then he realized that Tess was not asleep at all.

Both he and Latios were fooled by each other.

Of course, Latios might have already thought of this...

[That night, you fell asleep on the beach while holding Latias, who was pretending to be asleep. Your telekinesis prevented you from waking up from the cold.]

[As for Latios' letter, you decided to go back and read it. ]

Chapter 63: The Enemy at Honnoji Temple

[The next morning, you and Latias set off for home as planned.]

[When leaving, Latias showed his reluctance to leave his brother, but his attitude of leaving was extremely firm. 】

[This makes Latios look depressed again, but this time his attitude towards you is much gentler.]

[From the results, it seems that he truly recognizes your identity and treats you as a member of the family. ]

"Xia Mu."

Before leaving, Latios suddenly called Xia Mu.

"Huh?" Xia Mu cast a puzzled look when he heard the voice.

Then, in front of Tess's puzzled gaze, he was mysteriously dragged to the distant woods by Latios.

"Uncle, is there anything else?"

Looking at Latios's expression as if he was facing a great enemy, Xia Mu became even more confused.

If it weren't for Latios' change of attitude today, he even thought that the other party wanted to kill him.

Facing Xia Mu's gaze, Latios coughed lightly and stated his purpose:

"Xia Mu, let me ask you, from your human aesthetic point of view, what does Latias look like when he turns into a human?"

"Appearance?" Xia Mu was a little surprised, but still answered truthfully:

"It's very beautiful, and it's top-notch among humans."

Xia Mu did not exaggerate on this point.

Tess looks like an enlarged doll, with fiery red hair, amber eyes and three-dimensional facial features. She looks stunning at first glance.

At least in Xia Mu's opinion, Kaluni, a very popular actress on TV recently, does not necessarily have any advantages over Tess.

Hearing Xia Mu's comments, Latios raised his head proudly and said disdainfully:

"Of course, don't you see whose sister she is?"

However, after being happy, the expression on Latios's face became more solemn.

He hugged Xia Mu and said through gritted teeth:

"Since you also know that Latias is very beautiful, I will give you a task."

"Don't let anyone, especially men, get close to her. I don't need to guess what those human men who think with their lower body are thinking."

"If you encounter someone you can't solve, send me a message and I'll make him disappear."

"Anyway, you must keep an eye on Tess. You don't want to have another father, do you?"

When he spoke about the latter part, Latios' tone became a little excited.

It’s okay since he already has Xia Mu, after all, he is just a son, but if there is another husband, it will definitely drive him crazy.

When he thought about his sister being taken away by someone else, he felt like Sulips were crawling all over his body.

This kind of thing must be absolutely banned!

Hearing this, Xia Mu looked at Latios strangely.

After seeing the other party's distorted expression, he wisely swallowed what he wanted to say and promised:

"Don't worry, I will never let any man other than myself get close to Mom!"

Xia Mu's words were powerful.

Although Latios had a strange feeling, he couldn't find any fault with it for the moment, so he still showed an expression that said "this child is teachable".

For a moment, he felt he had found an ally.

The sister protection organization can add another powerful member.

"It's good that you have this intention. Don't make Latias wait anxiously. Go!"

[After making your promise to Latios, you and Tiss set out on the journey back home.]

"What did your brother tell you?"

During the flight, Latias asked anxiously.

"Nothing." As if he thought of something, Xia Mu waved his hand and chuckled.

"It just means that you should stick to me more and not get close to other strangers."

He summarized the content according to his own understanding and told Latias.

Latias couldn't help showing a bored expression after hearing this, and replied:

"Isn't this natural? Brother is really an idiot."

After all...she and Xia Mu will stay together forever.

[You returned home amidst laughter and joy]

[This trip to the isolated island has made you feel much more relaxed. After returning, you also remembered the letter that Latios gave you.]

【After reading it, you concluded two things. 】

[1. Latias's strange physique will grow with age. In other words... the number of poachers who discover him will increase day by day.]

[Latios hopes that you and Tess can stay in Kanaz City and not travel far away, so as not to attract more poachers. ]

[2. Latios tells you that his health is very poor and he doesn't have many years left to live.]

[He hopes you won't tell Latias about this. If he dies one day, tell him that he's just going on a long journey.]

The joyful mood disappeared as the letter was opened.

Although Xia Mu was a little worried about the first one, he believed that when he grew up, he would have the strength to crush all poachers.

He firmly believed that he could protect Latias, so he was not too worried about it.
