Elf: Sailing since being taken in by New Leaf Cat

Chapter 190 End of the Year

Kitakami Township is half a world away from the Padia region. At the speed of the spaceship, without considering energy consumption, it would take a day at the fastest to fly there.

However, Qiu Qing is still worried that the energy of the pure crystal will not be able to hold up. It is not yet clear how long the pure crystal can stick and be consumed, so she does not dare to drive too fast. She is currently flying over the Hezhong area.

It is now the third day after leaving Beishang Township, and it will take about two days to reach Padia. There is less than a week left before the end of the year, and the Orange Academy is already on holiday.

Just today, the incident in Beishang Township was made public. Whether it was Tao Gang or the three treasure companions, they were all mentioned in the news. The truth from hundreds of years ago was also revealed.

It's almost the end of the year, and something as big as this happened, which naturally attracted attention from all over the world. However... the identity of the person who handled this matter and made the truth public did not change with the release of the news. be made public.

This was what Qiu Qing deliberately confessed when Sha Li left. He didn't want too many people to know, otherwise his identity would be revealed, which would easily lead to big trouble, and his whereabouts would also be known to those from Orange Academy.

Of course, Sha Li understood this and said that she would just keep it to herself, and promised not to let anyone know that it was Qiu Qing and the others who were responsible for solving the problem.

In addition, He Yuexiong's affairs have not been made public. This is what he promised to the other party before. Not to bother He Yuexiong anymore. Shali will naturally not break the contract. Her photos have been taken anyway.

Just like that... things in Beishang Township have come to a successful conclusion, and then it's time to return to Orange Academy and what's going to happen.

Time flies so fast, two days later...

The eastern part of the Padia region was affected by the Padia Crater. It was like spring all year round. After coming back from a cold place like Beishang Township, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Ergui stood on the edge of the deck guardrail with a curious face, looking at the colorful Niangguang City below. This was the first time it had seen this kind of scenery, and its expression was extremely shocked.

The Fierce-Legged Locust is also watching. Although the Speaker Cricket Man and his companions are below, it does not intend to go back now... It is not mature enough now and needs to be well-experienced.

"Meow~"

Tiremiao asked curiously, it's the end of the year, Orange Academy is on holiday, are you sure there is still someone there now?

"Yes, the school will not be closed during the holidays, but there will be no teachers coming to class. Students can come and go freely with their student ID cards. Although I don't know the reason, Mudan doesn't seem to want to go back to Galar during the Chinese New Year... She obviously still has There’s a family waiting.”

Qiu Qing shook her head. If you have family, you should cherish the time you spend with them. Otherwise, once you lose it... you may never get it back. Of course, this is definitely not a hint of that so and so.

"But it's the end of the year, why don't you feel like there's no New Year's atmosphere at all?"

Qiu Qing used a telescope to observe Niangguang City below. She felt that it was almost the same as when they came here before. There were still so many tourists...

Sure enough, cultural customs may be different. Although he never went out during the Chinese New Year in his previous life, he could still feel the atmosphere of putting on lanterns and making dumplings and smashing them together.

"Speaking of which... we have to prepare too!"

"Meow?"

Tiremiao looked confused, what are you preparing?

"Make dumplings and smash them!"

Qiu Qing said with a smile, there are only two things during the New Year, talking about marriage, and making dumplings. Although he can't expect to talk about marriage for the time being, there is still no problem in making dumplings, even if he has never made them before. But I believe that cats can definitely be cured!

Cats are omnipotent!

"Meow……"

Tiremiao didn't understand what he was talking about. Making dumplings... what kind of food is dumplings? Maomao doesn't quite understand, because there are no festivals in hell, and Ten doesn't even have much sense of time there, let alone New Year, so Maomao has never experienced these things again.

But now...well, it feels okay!

"Meow!"

Then decide like this!

Although she didn't know exactly what she wanted to do, Tiremiao still nodded seriously and said that just leave it to Maomao. As for the rest... of course it would be more lively. Since Peony and the others are not going back, why not call them all to the spaceship? Come up.

"No problem. She will be lonely at school alone with Bubu. Let's call Pipa up so that the cat doesn't have to be too tired."

"Meow~"

Very thoughtful!

Tiremiao nodded, she really should call the other person, this is also a poor guy, his parents are gone, and his life and death are still unknown.

But just call these two people?

"Meow?"

"Hmm...let me think about it."

Qiu Qing touched her chin and fell into deep thought. He had too few friends. If anything, could Qishu be one of them? Although I haven't contacted him for a long time, the gym leader must be very busy, and he will definitely go home to spend time with his parents during the Chinese New Year.

Not to mention Nemo, the other party is the second lady of the Rotom Cell Phone Company. At this time of the New Year, there might be some big dinner party, and they are not even qualified to come and watch the fun.

"Well... let's get in touch."

Regardless of whether they are free or not, it is better to ask before talking. After all, friends still have to do this.

So he sent messages to the three of them respectively, and within a minute there was a reply. It was from Nimo. The other party said that he would definitely arrive and would bring New Year's gifts. Remember to prepare more food.

"Is it really okay not to spend time with your family?"

Qiu Qing was surprised, so she sent a message to ask, and the other party replied again: "It doesn't matter. Those upper-class banquets are really boring. They made me wander around in a very non-active evening dress. I had to go there when I was a child. , who cares about me now, it was the last time I went there in the past two years."

"It was really boring at the time. In the end, I had a Pokémon battle directly in front of all the guests, and with the gym leader Jubo from Hoba City in the Hezhong area who was also present... although I lost miserably. That’s it, but everyone thinks I’m a weirdo, so I don’t want to go anyway.”

Looking at the two messages sent by Nimo, what else could Qiu Qing say? All I can say is that she deserves to be...

The two chatted for a while and agreed to meet on the New Year's Day. Then Pipa also responded to the message, saying that the other party had no questions and said he would definitely come.

Now the two people agreed... and nearly ten minutes passed before Qishu finally replied: "Hey~ I didn't expect you to be such a proactive person, but since you have invited me, how can I not What’s the reason for coming?”

"Aren't you going to spend time with your family?"

"How can Qishu have these things? Every Chinese New Year, I sleep at home. No one watches the live broadcast that day, so I can only give myself a day off to rest. I am almost bored to death."

"Fine……"

Putting down her cell phone, Qiu Qing didn't expect that everyone agreed... No, there was one person who didn't send a message to ask, but there was no need to send a message, just go offline and ask!

The spaceship continued to move forward, all the way to the sky above the Orange Academy. It had been a while since it had been here, but it felt as if it hadn't been back for several years.

The end of the year is approaching, and there is a holiday. Although Orange Academy will not be closed, looking from above, it cannot be said that it is completely silent. It can only be said that there are really not many people, and only some Pokémon are still active.

Although they have adapted to the life of human society, they don't attend any festivals. At most, they just go there to join in the fun, so they stay the same.

"Speaking of which, I haven't told her that we are back yet, right?" Just after getting off the spaceship, Qiu Qing suddenly realized this. Tiremiao shook her head, why did she have to say it? Wouldn't it be nice to give it a surprise? This will estimate that the other party must still be sleeping.

"That's right...haha."

Qiu Qing smiled and suddenly noticed that there were sweet sunflowers growing in the nearby flower beds. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Oliva was already realizing his dream step by step.

Then he and Maomao went to the dormitory together and swiped his card to enter. Although the lights were on in the dormitory corridor, there was not a single person in sight. It was inexplicably eerie. However, after returning from Beishang Township after experiencing so many things, he was no longer afraid of these things.

Walking in this familiar corridor, he came to the door of the dormitory that he had visited countless times. He stretched out his hand and knocked lightly.

There was no echo from the house. It was not until nearly a minute later that there was finally a sound from the door. It was gently pushed open. Moon Eevee poked her head out and glanced at them quietly.

"Buy~"

"Meow~"

It’s not that we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Sometimes Peony will take Eevee Moon with her to cyberspace.

After the door opened, Qiu Qing stepped lightly and walked in. Seeing that there was no light on inside, she knew that the other party must be sleeping.

After closing the door, he turned on the lights in the room. The other Bubu people were still resting, while Mudan covered her head with a quilt and was still asleep.

"Still resting...she was busy late again yesterday?"

"Buy..."

"Oh, in cyberspace..."

Qiu Qing patted his head, because Mudan often stayed up late and slept during the day, so he subconsciously thought so, so he would just send a message and wait for the other party to come back after going offline.

After the message was sent, he began to observe. The room was very clean, and he no longer littered his underwear everywhere. Although he hadn't seen her for a while, he felt that there seemed to be a big change.

"Meow~"

It shows that this is growth~

Tiremiao nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Peony, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes, as did several Bubu beside the bed. It was obvious that they went in together.

"You're here...turn around quickly!"

Mudan, who was about to get up, suddenly realized something and shouted quickly. Seeing this, Qiu Qing put her forehead on her head and shook her head: "You're not wearing any clothes to sleep..."

"I'm wearing underwear this time... forget it, just look at it. You've already seen it all anyway."

"..."

Although the other party said this, Qiu Qing still avoided looking. This was the most basic courtesy. Mudan didn't seem to be particularly satisfied with his actions. She clearly said that she didn't mind...

After getting dressed, Mudan got off the bed and walked directly in front of Qiu Qing. She stood on tiptoes and measured it with her hands: "Have you grown taller again? You didn't seem to be as tall as me before."

"It's because you don't grow taller at all... I told you to pay more attention to your eating habits and rest."

"I'm paying attention now, right? I eat three meals on time every day, I go to bed on time, and I don't stay up late if I can!"

They hadn't met formally for a long time, and they still quarreled when they met, but the two of them had long been accustomed to it, and Mudan seemed eager to tell each other about her growth during this period.

Just after saying this, Mudan took the initiative to open her arms, gently hugged Qiu Qing, put her face on her shoulder, and whispered in her ear.

“Welcome back~”

"Hmm~"

Qiu Qing responded softly, and subconsciously hugged the other person. The two hugged each other tightly, and finally separated after a long time. At this moment, Mudan's face was already blushing. If someone took the initiative, something might really happen.

"It seems that things in Beishang Township have been finished. I saw the news. Although it didn't say who killed Momo, I believe that you definitely have a share of the credit!"

Mudan pushed up the frame of the mirror. She knew Qiu Qing relatively well. She was not the kind of person who would be afraid of getting into trouble. She was also very reckless, life-threateningly reckless.

"Haha... that's right."

"Can you tell me about it later? I like to hear your travel stories the most."

"no problem!"

While the two were sitting on the edge of the bed talking, Tiremiao suddenly spoke up, interrupting their conversation.

"Meow~"

The cat is still here, why do you feel like you haven’t seen the cat for a long time? Or is it that cats have become light bulbs? Then Maomao, let's go out for a walk with Bubu and others first, leaving space for you.

Tiremiao said jokingly, although Maomao was really happy to see such and such things, Peony looked embarrassed and flushed after coming back to her senses.

She knew very well that her current relationship with Qiu Qing was more than friendship, but not yet a lover, but she really didn't dare to confess her love, and was worried that it would be like the last time in cyberspace, so she had been expecting the other party to take the initiative, but... It feels so difficult.

After Tiremiao interrupted the conversation between the two, Qiu Qing finally remembered what she was here for, so she said, "Would you like to spend New Year's Day with us on the spaceship?"

"what?"

go! Of course go!

Mudan responded immediately. She didn't go back to Galar during the Chinese New Year just to wait for the other party to come back. She didn't expect to be able to celebrate the Chinese New Year with the other party!

"By the way, are we the only ones?"

"No, Nemo, Pipa and Qishu... they will all come over."

"what?"

Hearing this, Peony, who was still excited just now, said that the fire was misfiring. Why are there suddenly so many more light bulbs? It's so annoying... I really want to throw all these guys off the spacecraft!

Qiu Qing could see the change in her mood, so she said, "Don't be too disappointed. Just let us all be happy on the spaceship."

"But……"

"Don't worry...I will accompany you!"

"Um!?"
