chapter 119

Just when Naganohara Yoimiya made her decision, a faint voice suddenly came from behind Arataki Itto, who was sitting on the ground.

"Huh?" Arataki turned his head slowly, his neck stiff.

"...Ah, Shinobu?"

It was Kuki Shinobu, the second-in-command of the Arataki Gang. Arataki Itto wasn't afraid of anything in the world, but he was most afraid of the small, sharp-witted ninja.

Kuki Shinobu said, "So, you saw it last time, huh?"

Arataki Itto carefully answered, "Ah, Shinobu, I'm really not following you like a crazy person, I'm just curious. I just looked at it a million times..."

Kuki Shinobu nodded thoughtfully. "In the past few years, I've traveled to various countries and earned a lot of wealth. Yoimiya, you don't have to be embarrassed. Two eggs, 40,000 Mora. I'll settle it now!"

Arataki Itto whimpered, moved to tears, but Kuki Shinobu turned around and glanced at him, saying abruptly, "You owe me two million Mora. You have to work part-time to pay it off within one year! I will personally supervise your work!"

Arataki Itto shrank his neck. Asking this idler to work in a factory was absolutely impossible!

Yoimiya heard this and said with a smile, "In fact, after becoming a Trainer, you can go to the ecological zone in Liyue or visit the secret realm of time and space—the Hisui region. If you're lucky and pick up a Pokémon item, it can easily be worth millions of Mora."

After the payment was made, Yoimiya solemnly handed over a blank Pokédex to Kuki Shinobu and Arataki Itto, guiding them to register and authenticate. They had officially joined the Pokémon House customer group chat.

After completing this step, Yoimiya once again seriously said to Kuki Shinobu and Arataki Itto, "In this group chat, everyone is very talkative, including the founder of the era, Takumi, the Nightclub Manager. Whenever he has free time, he replies to the various questions of the group members in the group chat."

The Trainer's Pokédex was a new concept in Inazuma's world. Kuki Shinobu had traveled to various countries and gained profound knowledge and both civil and military skills. Therefore, after playing with the Pokédex device for a while, she realized what an impactful innovation this device would be in the Teyvat continent today!

"This group chat... This app store... Cheers to this Teyvat... And this Pokémon Auto Chess," she murmured. Each app was like an entire world.

Kuki Shinobu was about to get familiar with each one, but suddenly, a message popped up. She clicked on it, and the group chat interface automatically opened.

Yanfei: Kuki Shinobu, hey, isn't this Ren? Didn't you return to Inazuma after graduation? Isn't Inazuma currently in seclusion? How did you get the Pokédex and join the group chat?

Seeing this message, Kuki Shinobu couldn't help but widen her eyes. "Is it Senior Sister Yanfei?"

She opened the list of members in the customer group. The real names displayed alongside the nicknames were all very familiar. It was also divided into Mondstadt and Liyue regions!

Mondstadt...

From Jean, the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, to various cadres of the Knights like Kaeya, Lisa, Eula, and Albedo. Kuki Shinobu had studied in Mondstadt as well and knew some of the members, such as the Spindrift Knight Eula, Diluc from Dawn Winery, and the elusive Venti.

These powerful individuals, if placed in Inazuma, would also be among the top existences in the renowned archipelago.

As for the Liyue Group member list...

Not to mention her senior sister Yanfei. Liyue's Seven Stars, including Tianquan Ningguang, Yuheng Keqing, and Secretary Ganyu—these names made Kuki Shinobu feel like she was back in her days of studying abroad in Liyue.

Seeing or hearing each name inspired a sense of reverence from the bottom of her heart. They were all important people who could control the fate of many!

System prompt: The group leader (Takumi) has modified the group member list. The Inazuma area column has been added.

Huh?

Kuki Shinobu happened to see this group system message float by. She scrolled down to the bottom of the list. In the newly added Inazuma area section, her and Arataki Itto's names were filled in.

Takumi: Naganohara Yoimiya, I'm chatting with you privately to ask about the progress... Seems there's no need to report, keep working hard (encouragement.jpg).

Seeing the group leader's message pop up on the chat interface, the red highlighted text was very conspicuous.

Kuki Shinobu thought, "This is incredible. Such a character... Why haven't I heard of this person when I was studying abroad in Liyue?"

As she chatted with Yanfei, Kuki Shinobu browsed through the videos in the group chat's file library, and her breath suddenly caught. She was fascinated by the strange and incredible Pokémon shown in the videos.

On the other side, Arataki Itto, who had a childlike curiosity, had not yet fully mastered the use of the Pokédex, but he had somehow opened "Pokémon Auto Chess" and started playing chess for the first time in his life...

When Yoimiya caught a glimpse of this, her eyebrows twitched sharply.

"Ah, this..." She regretted it a little. "How does this strange young man from the Oni tribe have such a natural talent for 'eating, drinking, and having fun'? He just came into contact with the Pokédex and already knows how to open the game and get ahead!"

However, it's alright. The better Itto got at Pokémon Auto Chess, the better he could master knowledge about Pokémon. After all, it was a game created by Takumi, the Nightclub Manager, recognized as both entertaining and educational, projecting Pokémon's attribute resistances, characteristics, uses, and evolutionary information into the game.

Yoimiya comforted herself, "Yo."

Today, there were unexpectedly many visitors in the alley by the Naganohara Fireworks Shop. Thoma, the housekeeper of the Kamisato family, stood at the entrance of the alley. He smiled and waved at Yoimiya. Thoma glanced at Kuki Shinobu and Arataki Itto in surprise.

When he saw the leader and second-in-command of the Arataki Gang, both staring at the mysterious high-tech equipment in their hands, a deep doubt appeared in Thoma's eyes.

However, Thoma didn't have time to ask in detail, as the family head, Kamisato Ayato, had taken the matter seriously today and asked him to come to Yoimiya to talk about the Kamisato Estate.

For this secret conversation, Kamisato Ayato even mobilized the clan's secret force to temporarily take over the defense inside and outside the estate!

It could be called airtight!

The corners of Naganohara Yoimiya's mouth slightly curled up, and she thought to herself:

"A few days ago, it seems that the Pokémon egg I sold to Miss Kamisato Ayaka has hatched successfully!"
