I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

"..."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, maybe he was thinking about what tone he should use to speak, but the whole process didn't take much time.

"Brother Bai Chen..." Finally, on the other end of the phone, Kamizlei asked softly with a little expectation and a little hesitation: "Have you ever thought about going back to Raven City?"

Back to Raven?

Bai Chen didn't expect that Kamizlei wanted to ask this question.

"Going back to Raven City? Well... probably not, after all, there is no need, and the life in Random Town is not bad~ It's better to say that the goals of life have been completed, and I really don't have more energy to go east. West ran away."

"yes......"

On the other end of the phone, Kamizlei's voice sounded a little disappointed, but then the sense of loss disappeared completely, and turned into a happy tone: "I understand, so it's okay for me to go over there, right?"

"Huh? Come here...? You can, but..."

"Then it's settled, I will go there later, remember not to go too far, bye~~"

"Ah?! No, wait a minute..."

Before Bai Chen had time to finish speaking, there was a burst of busy tone from the other end of the phone.

"Even though she has become a household name and a top model in the Hezhong area, she still has such a fiery personality..."

Reluctantly hung up the phone, Bai Chen's face showed a hint of relief or nostalgia, but the next moment he felt something was wrong again.

"Huh? After talking? When will it be? How many days later? Morning or afternoon?? No way..."

Looking at the landline that had been hung up and turned into a lonely state, Bai Chen looked a little dull.

......

In the lobby of the coffee shop, the crackling sound produced by the impact between fingers and keyboards is one after another, which is particularly prominent in such a quiet space.

Of course, this means that when there is only one customer, the man with glasses, the store would not be so quiet in normal times.

Speaking of guests, there are not many young people in Random Town. Most of them come to the coffee shop just to sneak in or help take care of their own business and eat something along the way.

It's not that Bai Chen is bragging, he has always been good at cooking.Just like what the butcher said, Bai Chen chose to open a coffee shop instead of a restaurant, but it was a waste of his skills.However, Bai Chen doesn't have any special thoughts about this, because money is not very important to him, and the bonus he got after obtaining the position of Pokémon Master will take him "a while", even if the money is removed It still has a lot of expenses left over to buy a house and decorate the store here, but Bai Chen doesn't plan to use it much, after all, there is no big demand.

"Is it over yet?"

The man didn't raise his head but continued to concentrate on his work. Although this behavior might seem a little impolite to others, Bai Chen knew that the other party would devote almost all of his attention to it when he was working, so he agreed No idea in particular.

"Well, it's just a friend I haven't seen for a long time. I'll prepare your meal now."

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you then."

After the young man finished saying this, he became completely quiet, and Bai Chen didn't look for other topics, but started his work quietly.

Take out the coffee machine, but it is not the fully automatic one that is popular in the market now, but the one that requires manual grinding.

Although the automatic one is more convenient and efficient, and it is more friendly to a newcomer like Bai Chen who has not spent years or even decades on coffee bean grinding, but Bai Chen just likes to experience cooking a dish by hand. The feel of the meal.

Bai Chen then filled 2/3 of the coffee beans into the grinder, and began to shake the handle slowly.

click...click~

The grinding sound of the coffee machine echoed leisurely in this small space along with the sonorous keyboard sound...

006 Special client

"Ding bell~"

"Welcome~ Oh, uncle of the butcher's shop, please find a seat wherever you want. By the way, your injury doesn't matter, right?"

The doorbell rang, and it was the uncle who was bragging with Bai Chen in the commercial street before, who walked in. At this moment, he had a lot of bandages on his face, looking very miserable.

"Ahem... I accidentally fell while walking, my wife insisted that I post this thing, there is no way, I can't spoil her interest, right?"

"Hehe~"

Bai Chen turned his eyes back to the frying pan in front of him, and carefully observed the state of the thick-cut bacon that was still frying in the pan. As for the butcher shop uncle...

This is one of the important secrets of maintaining interpersonal relationships in the town.

The butcher shop uncle also knew that Bai Chen was giving him face, so he didn't say anything, just smiled and found an empty seat to sit down.

When the butcher shop uncle came in, there were already a lot of customers in the shop. Compared with the usual number of customers today, as far as Bai Chen knew just now, someone he knew from the commercial street said that he collected today. As a result, many people who have nothing to do and some people who have nothing to do with their busy schedules gather here to taste the taste of fresh ingredients.

"Then it's alright if I prepare according to the ingredients I have today?"

"Oh, I'm sorry to trouble you, anyway, I don't understand this, so I leave it to you~"

In Bai Chen's shop, it is not allowed to order any food alone, unless it is accompanied by coffee.And most of the middle-aged and elderly people in Coffee Random Town don't know much about it, so most of them left it to Bai Chen to decide on the food matching, and Bai Chen naturally didn't disappoint them.

"Okay, it's time."

Bai Chen saw that the surface of the bacon in the pot had a layer of broken skin, and most of the fat in the bacon was forced out under the action of frying on medium heat. The bacon made at this time must have the best taste .

On the one hand, in addition to the soft texture of the bacon at this time, you can also taste the crispy shell formed after the fat is fried; on the other hand, the remaining fat in the thick-cut bacon has been forced out of the bacon. Most of what's in bacon these days is just the gravy locked in by the pork when it was pickled.

"Then just put the bread..."

"Ding bell~"

"welcome!"

Today's business looks really good. I didn't expect another customer to come in in such a short period of time.

child?

The little boy who walked into the store looked about seven years old.

Baichen's coffee shop has always been full of children, but because children can't drink coffee, even if they want to order coffee from Baichen, they will usually be rejected by him. At most, only coffee Ole (milk) is provided, and most of them At this time, the children will find the two "mascots" to play because of anger, so that their anger will almost disappear.

It's just that the two "mascots" are often disturbed by the children because of this, but it is also because of this that the children love the long-haired dog and cool leopard in the store more than other Pokmon in the town.

Just when Bai Chen thought that this child was also here to play with them, unexpectedly, the other party came straight to him.

With his head down, his hands kept rubbing back and forth, looking very nervous.

Bai Chen just smiled wryly at this, and it is true that there are more introverted children who are afraid of cool leopards and long-haired dogs, but they don't know how to get in touch with them, so they come to ask themselves for help.

"Hello, kid, if you want to play with them, don't be afraid, just touch them directly, they won't resist..."

"No...not big brother! Actually...Actually...I'm here to entrust you!"

Entrust?This is really rare... Could it be a prank?

"Yes, yes, but there is a fee for entrusting, if you can't pay..."

"I...I have money, so...I want to entrust!"

At this moment, Bai Chen's gaze began to look a little strange. Although there were no children who pretended to entrust something with a playful mood before, they all apologized and slipped away because they said they needed commission fees, just like the behavior of the child in front of him. He really met for the first time.

But since the other party has said so, Bai Chen naturally has no reason to refuse. As the saying goes, everyone who comes is a guest, no matter what, he can't ignore the other party just because he is young.

"I see, I will listen carefully to your commission." Bai Chen pointed to a waiting seat next to the coffee shop and said, "You can sit there for a while or go back first, the work of Master House You have to wait until the cafe closes before you can start, and it will take about two hours."

"It's...it's okay, I can wait!"

The little boy's voice suddenly became louder, probably because Bai Chen didn't deal with him casually, but answered his request head-on.

"Mu~ra~"

On the other side, the long-haired dog who was still resting on his stomach came up after discovering the situation here, and took the initiative to lead the little boy to the waiting area next to him, and the little boy may have disappeared because his original worry had disappeared. Almost, now after seeing the long-haired dog, I let go of my nature, petting the long-haired dog, talking and playing softly with it, which seems to have become a unique scenery in the afternoon cafe.

......

Time passed without knowing it, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the land of Random Town, adding a unique beauty to this peaceful and harmonious town.

"Then I should go too."

In the coffee shop, the man with eyes saw that all the customers around him had left, and his work was about to come to an end, so he slowly got up and prepared to leave.

The young man drank the remaining cold coffee in one gulp: "Then let's say goodbye, today's coffee and meals are also delicious."

"Thank you for your compliments, and welcome to your next visit."

Walking to the door, he turned the sign hanging on the door back to Close again. After hearing the young man's farewell, Bai Chen responded with a little joy. With the young man's departure, the coffee shop became empty again. state of tranquility.

"Mu~ra..."

Oh, no, today there is a special guest.

After hearing the long-haired dog's call, Bai Chen remembered that there was another boy who said that he was going to commission the master house.

When Bai Chen turned his head around, he realized that the client had fallen asleep sitting on the chair, his head kept pointing down bit by bit, which looked like a student who was sleepy during class and then secretly fell asleep.

"What kind of commission will it be?"

While thinking about it, Bai Chen walked behind the counter of the coffee shop and opened the wooden door hidden behind, and there were a few words printed lightly on the wooden door...

【Random House】

......

007 Commission to rescue wild Pokémon

The interior of Master House has a completely different style from the more fashionable cafes.

In the small space, apart from the reception counter, there are only a few scattered chairs, a square table in the center of the small space, and a few low stools neatly placed at the corners of the room. Obviously, the purpose of setting it up at the beginning was also to greet the guests who came to wait, but looking at the dust on the low stools, one can know that the business of Master House is bleak.

However, a large part of the reason is that most people entrust through the small mailbox hanging on the door.

"......"

He randomly found a chair and moved it to the front of the counter. Although the little boy sat on it and waited for Bai Chen's arrival, he still looked a little uneasy. After all, he just woke up in a strange place. The hairy dog ​​woke him up with a gentle shake and brought him here, but he still felt a little nervous after understanding his situation.

"Please use."

"?!"

After waiting for about four or five minutes, Bai Chen finally opened the door and walked over, but he was holding a tray with a plate of sandwiches and a cup of steaming milk in his hand.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, although it may not be good to eat something else after it's almost dinner time, but it should be okay as a temporary filling, right?"

"But... this... that..." The little boy looked a little bewildered and flustered.

"Don't worry, these are just leftovers from today's sale in the store, so there will be no charge. Next, let's talk about your order while eating something."

After Bai Chen finished speaking, he walked into the counter, dragged out a chair from under the counter, and sat down. He really didn't seem to care about it.Seeing this, the boy was finally relieved, although he still felt a little ashamed that Bai Chen had seen through that he was already hungry, but he still chose to accept Bai Chen's kindness.

......

Although Bai Chen said that he could talk while eating, but the little boy didn't know whether it was because he felt embarrassed or because he was too hungry. He devoured all the sandwiches and milk in front of him, making Bai Chen even doubt whether he wanted to eat again. Just prepare an extra copy for him.

"? Excuse me... what's wrong?"

Facing Bai Chen's slightly surprised expression, the little boy didn't seem to realize what happened.

"Uh...cough cough...no...it's nothing, let's talk about your commission."

"Ah! That's right! Entrust!"

Compared to Bai Chen, the little boy looked more surprised.

By the way, did you forget the entrustment because you ate something? !Is it important?

Bai Chen resisted the desire to complain in his heart, took a deep breath quietly and adjusted his mentality, and then slowly listened to the boy's statement.

"Uh... that... that... hello! My name is A Yan... I am here today... I mainly want to entrust you to help a Pokémon!"

Although he was a bit hesitant when he started talking, Ah Yan still tried his best to make his words as smooth as possible when he talked about the most critical parts.

"Helping a Pokémon?"

Bai Chen's curiosity was immediately aroused.

Help a Pokémon?In other words, that Pokémon doesn't belong to his family, right?Wild Pokemon...

Bai Chen suddenly had a judgment in his heart.

But for a wild Pokémon to spend the whole afternoon waiting for me in fear, such children are quite rare now...

Bai Chen had a brand new view of the little boy in front of him.

"Really? In short, let's talk about what happened first, so that I can be better prepared."

As Bai Chen spoke, he took out a notebook and a pen from the drawer to record A Yan's words. At this time, the long-haired dog and the cool leopard ran in without knowing when, and they just lay quietly on the left and right sides of the white table. Chen's feet seemed to be a fixed process.

"I see..." Ah Yan raised his head slightly when he said this, his eyes seemed to drift away, as if he was recalling the scene at that time.

"Hmm... I was scolded by my mother, so I went to the forest to go for a walk... But when I walked to the middle of the forest, a wild Pokémon attacked me... "
