Chapter 79: The Relationship between Hash and Alice

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Your Excellency Hash, thank you for explaining it to me.”

Hearing Hash’s explanation, Giles nodded slightly.

The situation was similar to what he had imagined. The reason as to why the Beast Tamer Association had the Beast-taming Gyms close one after another, was probably highly confidential.

The reason why Starlux Gym did not receive the Beast Tamer Association’s gym closure notice in advance was because the notice had been sent directly to Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym.

At that moment, Gym Leader Alice was not in Starlux Gym. Even if she had received the notice, she could not have rushed to the Beast Tamer Association to maintain order during the dispute.

However, what confused Giles was that Gym Leader Alice hadn’t contacted him recently.

Now that she was faced with such a huge matter of Starlux Gym closing, she actually did not tell him after receiving the notice.

Did something happen to Gym Leader Alice?

When this thought appeared in his mind, Giles decided to find a time to contact Alice later.

“Giles, I told you not to be so polite. Don’t call me Your Excellency Hash.”

After her impression of Giles changed, Hash felt a little strange when she heard Giles address her as ‘Your Excellency’.

“Alice and I were born in the same year. I should be only two or three years older than you. You can just call me Sister Hash.”

Giles was thinking of ways to contact Gym Leader Alice later. When he heard Hash mention Gym Leader Alice’s age, Giles suddenly picked up a clue.

He tried to remember some of the things that Hash had said previously, until he remembered the first sentence that Hash said when she arrived at Starlux Gym, “Is this Alice’s Starlux Gym?”

Realization dawned on Giles as he recalled where he had heard the name ‘Hash’ before.

If he remembered correctly, Hash should be a university classmate of Alice’s from the Beast Tamer University in the nearby Flange City.

The two of them were friends who had lived in the same dorm for four years and were also competitors in various projects in university.

Therefore, every time Alice came back from college on a long vacation, she would talk to Giles about some of her and Hash’s exploits.

It was said that the two of them had made a bet that they would see whose achievements were greater three years after graduation.

Giles had no idea what they had bet on.

However, Alice chose to return to Starlux Gym after graduating from university and became the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym in less than three years.

Hash, on the other hand, seemed to be a local from Flange City. Therefore, after Alice graduated and left Flange City, the two of them temporarily stopped all contact because of that bet.

However, what Giles did not expect was that Hash, whom Gym Leader Alice would always mention to him when she was reminiscing about her university life, had now become the youngest Elite Beast Tamer and had even come to their base city to take office.

After realising who Hash was, Giles looked up at Hash, who was shaking her legs on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, and asked tentatively, “Sister Hash, were you Alice’s university classmate back in Flange City?”

“Huh? Alice actually mentioned me to you?”

When Hash heard Giles call her by a new nickname and was even asking if she was Alice’s university classmate, she immediately became excited.

She turned her head and waved at Rex, gesturing for him to head back to the Beast Tamer Association first to prepare lunch.

“Mr Rex, I’ll have to trouble you to head back to the Beast Tamer Association’s Branch first. By the way, just prepare a vegetable salad for me for lunch.”

Although Rex was surprised that Hash and Alice were classmates in college, he knew that the next topic would probably be about Hash’s personal matters.

Furthermore, since Hash had taken the initiative to ask him to go back first, it was not convenient for him to stay here.

Rex sighed in his heart after saying goodbye to Hash and Giles.

As expected of the top Beast Tamer University in Florida.

They actually nurtured Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, and the youngest Elite Beast Tamer, Hash.

“Sister Hash, when Gym Leader Alice was in university, every time she returned to the gym during the holidays, she would mention the competition and exploits between the two of you.”

Seeing that Rex had left after saying goodbye, Giles reassuredly recounted Alice and Hash’s experiences, “I heard from Gym Leader Alice that she and Sister Hash competed almost a thousand times in the four years you were in university, but the results were pretty much a 50-50 split.”

When it came to winning or losing, Giles had especially kept it to himself that Gym Leader Alice would always say that hers and Hash’s wins and losses were a 60-40 split, with her win rate reaching up to sixty percent.

When Hash heard Giles mention the numbers of wins and losses in her matches with Alice, she also smiled.

“Don’t lie to me, Giles. I know as much about Alice as you do.”

“Based on her personality, even if our wins and losses are not much different, as long as she wins a few more matches than me, she will say it’s a 60-40 split rather than a 50-50 split.”

Seeing that Hash had exposed him the moment she opened his mouth, Giles scratched his head awkwardly.

Hash smiled as she sat on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle and swung her long legs.

She felt that Giles, who had looked serious and stern previously, was a little cute when he looked embarrassed.

“Giles, you’ve already called me Sister Hash, so don’t add a ‘Gym Leader’ to the name when you call Alice.”

“Speaking of which, isn’t she your elder sister who grew up with you?”

“Oh, this…”

Upon hearing Hash mention this problem, Giles frankly revealed his relationship with Alice.

“Actually, I was adopted by the previous Gym Leader. I should be considered Alice’s family.”

When Giles mentioned his “family,” he also stopped joking.

Recalling that he hadn’t contacted Alice in a long time, he felt a little worried.

Even if Alice had the strength of an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, she was investigating a Mythic-rank spirit beast after all.

He wondered what was going on with Alice now.

At the thought of this, Giles probed, “Sister Hash, when Alice left Starlux Gym previously, she told me that she was going to investigate the traces of Mythic-rank spirit beasts.”

“Many days have passed now. I listened to her arrangements previously and didn’t contact her.”

“However, this time, we encountered such a huge matter of the gym being closed temporarily. Even though she received the news from the Beast Tamer Association in advance, she didn’t contact me to make any preparations.”

“Sister Hash, when you return to the Beast Tamer Association’s branch, can you help me contact Alice?”
