On the afternoon of the fifth day of staying at the Damu Institute, Meilin was preparing the ingredients needed for dinner in the kitchen. In order to cook the last big meal before saying goodbye, Meilin also specially arrested Xiaomao, Xiaolu and Xiaozhi, who came here to fight and kill time, and asked them to help wash vegetables and set up the dining table.

Although they can't help cooking, it's enough to put in the effort to get things done... Well, maybe it's right?

"Ding! Crack~!!"

Meilin, who was cutting vegetables, once again heard the whine of a tableware falling on the floor and falling into pieces. Then he once again heard Xiaozhi's apology and Xiaomao's scolding.

"Sorry, sorry, this plate is so slippery, I didn't catch it..." Xiaozhi's apology was very quick and sincere, obviously knowing this well.

"Oh my God, do you dare to be a little clumsy? This is the first plate you broke? I think you are going to break all the plates in the institute before you are satisfied?" Xiao Mao's voice was filled with a strong helplessness, "Forget it, you'd better go and move the chairs and stop fiddling with these fragile items."

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it..." As she mumbled, Ash moved away.

Just as Meilin breathed a sigh of relief and was about to continue cutting vegetables, another sound came from behind.

"Bang!~~!!"

"It's so terrible~~~"

"What's wrong with Xiaozhi?! Can you get into an accident when moving chairs?" Xiaomao roared.

"...I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm just tripping and falling..." Xiaozhi coughed a few times, hesitated for a while and said, "By the way, Mao, do the institute have any extra chairs? I seem to give some chairs...well, it's broken."

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Xiao Zhijun, what's the point of telling me that you are! Can a human being be so stupid? Do you have the characteristics of "clumsy" or what's wrong? I think you'd better stay at home honestly. If you go out for a trip, you will definitely die, you will definitely~!" Xiao Mao ran away with a huge step.

"Huh~~~" He let out a deep breath of turbid air. Meilin turned his head and looked at Xiao Lu who was helping wash vegetables beside him, and asked, "As Xiaozhi, is this always the case?"

"Bad, it's almost the same. There will be some accidents every day." Xiaolu's face was faintly helpless. "In my cousin's words, Xiaozhi always 'speaks of stupid words' and 'doing clumsy things', and he can always make his cousin crazy and have no choice but to do anything."

"Haha, that's really hard."

"Yes, so sometimes my cousin said something ugly to him, I can't understand..."

"Uh, that's true..."

"Actually, to be honest, I really think Xiaozhi shouldn't be in such a hurry to travel. I won't mention that his knowledge and skills are seriously insufficient, just his personality and..."

Just as Meilin and Xiaolu were chatting, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Green~!" Xiaomao's voice came from a distance, "Please go and pick up the doorbell. I can't take it off here. I said Xiaozhi, can you pull out your legs quickly?! Do you think you are very handsome when you are stuck here??"

"I understand." Xiao Lu smiled bitterly at Meilin, wiped her hands and went to answer the doorbell.

[This is a normal friendship, a normal family.] Seeing Xiao Lu walk away, Meilin sighed.

[Probably so.] Vyzel replied casually, [Let's leave tomorrow?]

【Well, it’s time to continue the journey after being bothered for a long time.】

[Thank God! I'm so fed up here! Absolutely! Absolutely! Don't go back here, even if you come back, don't stay for so long!] Vyzel's teeth are quite gritting, [I've been restraining my desire to attack that shit doctor.]

[Visil, that is Dr. Damu, his grandfather's junior and his friend.] Merlin had to emphasize Dr. Damu's identity, [is still a famous Pokémon master.]

[I can consider saving his life and just getting a half-dead.] Vyzel made a sound like pinching the joints as the background sound, [Let him taste what it feels like to stay in a place that is so small that he can only curl up! Let him taste what sadness is, what darkness is, what helplessness is, what...]

In this regard, Merlin could roll his eyes and mean that there was no solution.

"Cousin, Nanamei's cousin is back!" Xiao Lu's cry suddenly came from the living room, "It's already here."

[Nanami? Oh by the way, it's Dr. Oki's granddaughter. It seems that he is still the manager of the beauty salon. Aka mentioned it to me, saying that he is a very gentle beauty...] Meilin began to collect information about Miss Nanami in her mind, [Mao seems to have mentioned that his sister was on a trip, but she didn't expect to come back so soon.]

"Is that so? Why did you come back suddenly? I'm here!" With a burst of thunderous things falling, Xiaomao's voice floated out.

"Hey! Xiaomao, don't leave me alone, I haven't...ah~~!!" Xiaozhi let out a scream, and then calmed down.

"Oh~" Putting down the vegetables and kitchen knife in my hand, Merlin went to wash his hands silently.

"No matter what, I'd better save Xiaozhi first..."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

By the time Meilin rescued Xiaozhi from the warehouse that seemed to have been blasted, Xiaomao and Xiaolu were already busy facing Miss Nanamei to the living room.

"Thank you very much, Merlin," Xiaozhi, who was in full condition as soon as he came out of the warehouse, was resurrected in a state that seemed to have not suffered any damage or blows. She slapped the dust on her body indifferently and said cheerfully: "That guy Xiaomao actually left me and ran away. I must make him look good this time!"

"Haha, as long as you're fine, as long as you're fine." Merlin said with a wry smile.

[What exactly is this guy's body structure? Why is it so resistant to tossing?] Merlin, who was still scared, couldn't help but look back at the messy scene. [This kind of resistance is comparable to Pokémon, and even exceeds many Pokémon...]

[Biogenies with brain atrophy will always receive some physical benefits, and they cannot be envied...] Vyzel said contemptuously.

"Haha..." Merlin couldn't help but chuckled.

"By the way!" Xiaozhi, who was jumping his feet and cursing Xiaomao, suddenly remembered something, and suddenly turned around and asked Meilin, "Did they just say that Sister Nanami is back?" Xiaozhi's expression was a bit strange as he spoke.

"yes."

"Hmph, Xiaomao, Xiaomao, you're in trouble this time!" Xiaozhi suddenly changed to a face that had succeeded in his treacherous plan, and pinched his waist and laughed with some relief, "Hahahahahahaha!" It was obviously a scene of fantasizing about his successful revenge.

"Is there anything funny?" Merlin, who was startled by Xiaozhi's quick face change, couldn't help but ask.

"Uh, no, it's okay." Xiaozhi answered barely with a serious face, but the constantly tugging corners of his mouth and the uncontrollable smile betrayed his little thoughts.

"Let's go, let's meet Sister Nanami." Xiaozhi couldn't wait to turn around and walk straight to the living room. Merlin could only smile bitterly and then follow.

After passing a short corridor, I turned around and came to the huge living room of the institute.

Along the way, Merlin could hear a cheerful female voice. The voice seemed to have a magical power that made people calm and comfortable, and she couldn't help but feel good about the owner of the voice.

[Hmph, human trick.] Vyzel naturally heard the sound, but it seemed as if it was offended, [a stupid woman who can't even control her own abilities.] It said angrily.

Merlin blinked, not caring about it.

"Xiao Mao! You actually left me alone in the storage room! If Merlin hadn't saved me, would you have planned to keep me in those chairs for the rest of my life?!" Xiaozhi suddenly adopted the tactic of being ahead of his voice, and shouted at the top of his voice before he entered the living room.

"Tsk~! Are you okay?" Xiao Mao immediately launched a counterattack without any loss.

"Ah~!! You guy!" Xiaozhi couldn't help but get angry and rushed into the living room. "It was all your sudden letting go that I was buried in the chair again, and I was hit by the head by the chair! Sister Nanamei, you see, it's swollen! This is all caused by Xiao Mao!"

"What, you may get injured? You guy with developed limbs is basically empty in your head, even if you get hit with your head!" Xiao Mao continued to fight back.

Merlin stopped and stood around the corner listening to the "quarrel" inside.

"Xiao Mao, how could you say that?" said the pleasant voice, "Apologize to Xiao Zhi quickly. Come to Xiao Zhi, let me see if you are injured. Why are you always so careless?"

"I don't want it. This guy was so clumsy that he was injured. He was able to fall down when he was asked to move the chair and broke all the chairs in the warehouse!" Xiao Mao continued to refute.

"Xiao Mao, hurry up and say sorry to Xiao Mao. Look, Xiao Mao has several bags swollen on her head. This is always because of you, right?" Nanami continued to persuade Xiao Mao.

"This little injury is nothing at all." Xiaozhi said pretending to be honest.

"Sister, he said that himself." Xiao Mao snatched the white spot, "This guy can fight Pokémon directly, and his physique is just like a monster. How could he be injured!"

【Haha, fight directly...No wonder...】

"Xiao Mao~~" Nanami raised her tone slightly.

"Okay OK, okay, I admit defeat, I apologize. Is this OK?" Xiao Mao obviously had no choice but to give in to his sister.

"Yes, are you up?" Xiao Mao gritted his teeth and apologized word by word, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Not counting or not! Who should accept such an insincere apology?" Xiaozhi, who seized the opportunity, naturally would not let Xiao Mao go.

"Hey, you've had enough!"

"Nah, is this the attitude of apology?"

"Yeah, then how should you calculate the account of so many chairs you have broken? If the chairs are not enough for dinner at night, it is your responsibility!" Xiao Mao began to bypass the injury and pointed directly at the damage to the seat.

"Uh, that's all an accident. I don't think about it..." Xiaozhi, who was poked into the pain, suddenly withered.

"The dinner tonight?" Nanami asked, "Do you know we are coming back and have prepared the dinner in advance? Did Aunt Hanako prepare it?"

【We?】

"It's not my mother, it's Meilin. Meilin has good skills, although it's better than my mother." Xiaozhi explained randomly.

"It's a guest of grandpa. He's leaving tomorrow so he's having a big meal tonight." Xiao Mao added.

"Uh..." Nanami obviously couldn't fully understand the situation from Xiaozhi and Xiaomao's statements. "Anyway, there is a guest preparing a grand dinner, right?" But she still summarized and refined it.

"Yes." The three teenagers agreed at the same time.

"What's so good? Let the guests prepare dinner and see it off by themselves? It's too rude to say it. Just let me cook when I come back." Nanami suddenly became full of energy.

"I'll help too. These little ghosts will only cause trouble." A female voice who had never spoken suddenly interjected. There was a faint sense of charm in this female voice. You can imagine that she would be a mature beauty by just hearing the sound.

[This sound seems to be...] A drop of sweat suddenly slipped off Meilin's forehead, [...it's her...]

[Well, it's her.] Vyzel seemed very calm.

[Did you know it long ago?] Blue veins appear on the forehead.

【nonsense.】

[Then you didn't say it earlier.] The corners of your eyes began to twitch slightly.

[That's interesting. And who was so confident at the beginning?]

Merlin gently patted his forehead, [Is it rude to leave without saying goodbye?]

【It's certain.】

"Where is that guest? Let me introduce it to us. I can't let him continue to work..." Nanami said.
To be continued...
