Chapter 139 The Clock in the Opposite Direction
But Officer Jenny is Officer Jenny after all; she's quick-witted and intelligent.
After a moment's thought, a sudden inspiration struck her, and she said softly:
"Then I'll tell Bailu and the others later that you found their fighting unbearable and therefore want to leave early!"
"you--
Xia Mu looked on incredulously.
"You're Officer Jenny! You're not a morally bankrupt person like me, how could you do such a thing!"
"You're quite self-aware!"
"That's right!"
Seeing Xia Mu standing smugly with his hands on his hips, Officer Jenny immediately gave up on the idea of arguing with him.
"Anyway, I'm Officer Jenny. Let's see if Haruka and the others believe you or me!"
Natsuki:
"......"
Thinking about his precarious image in front of the girls, and then thinking about the ironclad reputation forged by generations of Officer Jenny who have sacrificed themselves for justice.
Xia Mu could guess who they would believe even if she used her toenails.
"Damn it, he really is my lifelong enemy!"
Xia Mu sat back down in his seat, looking uncomfortable.
As Officer Jenny and her ilk, who always stand on the front lines against evil organizations, their moral standards are much lower than those of Joey and the others.
Seeing this, Officer Jenny wore a smug expression.
At the same time, she couldn't help but think to herself.
[This guy isn't actually as troublesome as I thought!]
But to Officer Jenny's surprise, after a moment of silence, Natsuki, knowing he couldn't leave, immediately started doing something outrageous in the preparation room.
He was initially just watching the battle quietly, while releasing the new Leaf Cat to pet it.
But less than two minutes later, he sent out the Green Vine Snake and started playing ping-pong.
Watching the intense battle on TV, Officer Jenny, who had been fully engrossed in the fight, could no longer bear it.
"What exactly do you want?!"
"I just thought it was a bit boring for you to just watch TV like that, so I was going to make you some tea—"
Natsuki's pitiful look made Officer Jenny's heart skip a beat.
Even though she knew Xia Mu was faking it, Officer Jenny couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness in her heart at that moment.
"Then, then you should keep your voice down too."
"oh!"
Natsuki's voice was indeed much quieter, and Officer Jenny was very satisfied with that.
However, she did not let her guard down.
No matter what, I would never eat anything made by this guy!
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Officer Jenny never expected that Xia Mu's vine snake craftsmanship would be so perfect.
Thinking about her daily life of working in the cafeteria and ordering takeout after get off work, she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
"Eating is definitely more than just a mechanical act to prolong life!"
Xia Mu was speechless.
"Just how busy are you to live like this?!"
"The main reason is the recent youth tournament; the influx of too many people has led to a variety of problems."
As she was talking, Officer Jenny suddenly paused, then realized something.
Isn't the biggest problem right in front of us right now?!
However, one is bound to be obligated to accept gifts and food.
Officer Jenny did not choose to reveal her true thoughts, but immediately changed the subject.
"To be honest, I originally thought you'd tamper with the food or chew on it!"
"How rude of me! Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm very particular about food. I'll lick the bowl clean even if there's only a single grain of rice left!"
"Sorry, sorry!"
Officer Jenny's eyes were filled with apology.
She never expected that someone like Xia Mu would have the virtue of being thrifty and frugal.
"It's okay, I've pretty much gotten used to people's prejudices." Um...
Officer Jenny, who was singled out, had nothing to say.
But Officer Jenny didn't notice that while Natsuki was saying these words, both the Green Vine Snake and the New Leaf Cat quietly turned their backs, looking ashamed to be seen.
If it weren't for the Green Vine Snake stopping him, Xia Mu, who was now complaining about others' prejudices with a resentful expression, would have already stuffed a lethal dose of sugar and salt into Officer Jenny's portion.
But Officer Jenny was unaware of all this.
Therefore, when Natsuki started making a fuss again, Officer Jenny, feeling guilty, could only choose to ignore it.
"Haha, kitty, don't run away~"
"Meow~"
Watching Natsuki, who had a cloth over his eyes and started playing tag with Shin-chan, Officer Jenny remained silent for a moment before giving up on making sarcastic remarks.
"Fine, there's no one else here anyway, let this guy continue his madness!"
Officer Jenny changed her posture, crossed her legs, and continued watching the battle on TV.
But she never expected that the sound of her changing positions would "just happen" attract Xia Mu's attention, and she never expected that someone would suddenly come here to interview Xia Mu at this time.
therefore.
When Officer Jenny, who had been ambushed, angrily straddled Natsuki, preparing to show off her newly learned grappling techniques...
She looked at the suddenly pushed-open door to the lounge, at the cameraman carrying the camera on his shoulder, and at the cameraman holding a microphone.
she knows.
I have no choice but to write a self-criticism this time.
The antics of Natsuki and Officer Jenny did not affect the battle taking place.
After three consecutive matches, the quarterfinals came to an end.
The four who advanced were Xia Mu, Xiao Yao, Zi, and Bai Lu, who narrowly won her battle against Kenny Yang.
Since the remaining semi-finals and finals would be held in the afternoon, Xia Mu and his friends decided to go to a beauty salon to relax, partly to celebrate and partly to prepare for the upcoming matches.
However, unlike before, this time Xia Mu decided to learn some massage techniques from the trainers.
"is that so?"
"Hmm~"
"How's this power?"
"Very good~"
"Meow?!"
The cat's big eyes were full of questions.
Xinye tugged at Xia Mu's right hand and gazed at him.
Weren't you supposed to be teaching us massage techniques? Why are you massaging the nursery girl?!
"The main purpose is to practice first, so that you don't get hurt because of my poor technique!"
"Meow?"
Newleafy doesn't understand what the point of practicing massage techniques learned for Pokémon on humans is, since everyone looks different.
But thinking that the trainer would massage it after the training, the innocent cat chose to let it be for the time being.
but.
Shin-chan still stared at the breeder girl being massaged, her eyes full of threat.
You can't take advantage of my trainer!
The breeder: "..."
As a Pokémon breeder, she is actually very good at understanding Pokémon's emotions from their subtle expressions.
therefore.
She easily grasped Shin-Ye-Nyan's idea.
While speechless, she couldn't help but recall the pitiful sight of her predecessors with their faces covered in cat scratches.
No, according to the older generation, aren't Neoleaf and its evolved forms difficult Pokémon to deal with?
As Pokémon known worldwide for their "jealousy," the Leafeon family is quite famous among breeders.
If you're too affectionate with the cat, it will scratch you.
If you spend too much time with the cat's trainer, the cat will scratch you.
The trainer apologized for the cat scratching them, but the cat secretly scratched them again.
But this is a new leaf cat in front of me.
She only threatened me verbally, without even breathing on me.
Thinking about all this, the breeder couldn't help but sigh:
"Your new Leaf Cat is quite different!"
Before Xia Mu could reply, Xin Ye Miao immediately clung tightly to Xia Mu's arm upon hearing this, while looking at him warily.
Why are you suddenly saying nice things about me? What are you trying to do?
