MTL - Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 25 The ranch gradually becomes lively

 In the chicken hut, Zhishu put feed into the feeding trough.

 Three hens and a rooster who smelled the smell wandered to the feeding trough and started to eat.

"It seems they have adapted to this place!" The girl behind looked at this scene with a smile on her face: "In that case, Mr. Naoki, I will leave first. If you need anything, you can call the store. Our phone number is 9573868."

 Naoki: “…I haven’t had time to buy a phone yet.”

The girl was stunned for a moment, as if she had not thought of this: "Huh?"

　　Naoki asked with a smile: "Is it okay to just go to the store and ask?"

 The girl nodded quickly: "Of course!"

After explaining what needed to be paid attention to, the girl put on her straw hat and left the pasture on her little tricycle.

Zhi Shu stood in the chicken hut, looking at the chickens.

Although hens can lay eggs by themselves without relying on roosters, such eggs are infertile and cannot hatch.

 Only eggs laid after mating with a rooster can hatch into chicks.

 This is also the reason why Naoki specially bought a rooster.

Those three hens are all healthy adult hens and can already lay eggs.

 This means that starting from tomorrow, he will be able to earn at least three eggs every day.

“Well, one egg can’t be sold for much money, so the most appropriate way is to use all three to hatch eggs.” Naoki thought to himself.

 In this way, when the crops outside mature, three more little lives will be added to the pasture.

The newly built chicken house seemed a bit messy. Zhi Shu picked up a pitchfork and shoveled the hay stacked by the door into the corner.

 After completing this work, Naoki couldn't help but look down at his current appearance.

Wearing brown overalls and holding a pitchfork on his shoulder, he really looks like a farmer with a rustic flavor.

Putting down the pitchfork, Zhishu walked out of the chicken hut. In order to prevent the hens from running around, he closed the door before leaving.

On the way back to the cabin, Naoki thought about what the girl just said, "In addition to Pokémon and crops, the basic facilities in the ranch also need to be completed."

 Such as telephone, television, gramophone, computer, etc.

 The telephone allowed him to communicate with people in the town.

TV can help him understand news and news outside the ranch.

Gramophones can also be used to cultivate sentiments. Playing a serenade on rainy days when you can't go out to work is also a good way of entertainment.

 As for the computer…

 It can help Naoki search for the information he needs more quickly, and also allow him to communicate with netizens in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Alola and other regions.

But from the memory of the original owner, we can know that these things are not cheap. Rather than building entertainment facilities, he currently needs to solve the problem of food and clothing for himself and a few Pokémon.

  No matter what, for a better tomorrow, go for it!

 Zhi Shu’s heart was full of fighting spirit.

 In front of the wooden house, Luton and Motor Lizard have returned.

Opposite them, Frosty Milk Fairy and Mini Fu were trembling with fear.

Seeing Naoki, the two little guys immediately hid behind him, holding his left and right calves respectively, with only half of their heads exposed to observe Zuluton's actions.

 Naoki: “…”

 Hulton looked confused: "Gah?"

 So, are they afraid of it?

 But what’s so scary about it?

Huluton looked down at his own body, then at the obedient Motorcycle Lizard next to him, and thought: Isn't it just that his appearance has changed a little...

 Zhi Shu knelt down and patted the heads of Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu, and said comfortingly: "Relax, it won't hurt you."

 “Gah!” So ​​Leden nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement with this sentence.

Hearing this, Frost Milk Fairy and Mi Nifu looked at Gulton cautiously.

So Luton stood there and let them look at him.

 After a while, Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu looked at each other.     “Mama…”

It seems like you really can’t eat them?

Seeing this, Luton patted his chest with his big paw in a very humane manner.

 “Gah ah ah ah!”

 Let's see, let's see!

 The fear on the faces of Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu disappeared, and instead they showed innocent smiles.

 “Mama~”

Zhi Shu didn’t know what the Pokémon said.

 Seeing that Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu looked less afraid, he paused, so he picked them up one by one and took them into the wooden house.

“This will be our home from now on!” Naoki looked around and asked, “Where do you want to live?”

 He left the choice to them.

Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu understood what Naoki meant, and they began to look around, observing the situation here while choosing a place suitable for them to live.

Soon, Minifu took the lead in choosing a location—the window sill above Naoki’s desk.

It is within the range of sunlight, and a breeze blows in from outside from time to time. For a grass-type Pokémon that maintains vitality through photosynthesis, this is the most suitable place to live.

Zhi Shu nodded, placed the mini Fu on the window sill, and then looked at the Frost Milk Fairy.

"how about you?"

The Frost Milk Fairy cast her eyes on the cabinets in the kitchen area, and her eyes lit up: "Ma!"

"Cabinet?" Zhi Shu raised his eyebrows and walked forward with the Frost Milk Fairy. He opened the cupboard and revealed the fruits and various condiments stored inside.

 The Cream Fairy jumped in and hid in a small space in the corner of the cupboard.

 “Ma!” This is it!

"Uh...okay." Zhi Shu originally thought that this place was a bit small and not suitable for the Frost Milk Fairy to live.

But when I think about it carefully, combined with the ecology of Frost Milk Fairy, I feel that there is no place more suitable for Frost Milk Fairy than here.

Maybe it’s because it’s worried that it will be eaten by Pokémon that likes sweets, so Frostbite naturally likes small spaces, which can give it a complete sense of security.

 “Not bad.”

Zhi Shu nodded. He smelled the faint sweet fragrance wafting in the air and thought that the cream produced by this cream fairy should be caramel flavored.

Zhi Shu may not have eaten sweets for a long time, but now that he smelled this smell, he suddenly had a terrible thought in his heart that he wanted to lick the Frost Milk Fairy.

 He quickly put this idea back, and after placing the Frost Milk Fairy, he turned to see Mini Fu.

Looking at the slightly empty window sill, Naoki couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

There seems to be something missing there...

Grass-type Pokémon need soil and water in addition to sunlight.

 By the way, it’s a flower pot!

Zhi Shu remembered that there was an empty flower pot in the utility room behind the wooden house!

He immediately went to the utility room, found a dusty flower pot there, rinsed it under the tap, and then dug out a shovelful of soft soil from the farmland and put it in.

 Zhi Shu placed the flower pot in front of Mini Fu.

 Minifu showed a happy expression on her face.

 It jumped into the flowerpot, stuck its little feet into the soil, and then lazily basked in the sun.

 “You will enjoy it.”

Zhi Shu smiled softly. He placed the flower pot on the windowsill and opened the window to let in the breeze from outside.
