Chapter 122. Seele: Woohoo, We're Rolling in It!
Pokémon + Eden.
Two already-explosive buzzwords crossed paths, and the effect was instant and unimaginable.
By early the next morning, all kinds of news dominated the trending lists.
"Eden concert."
"Too beautiful—Eden's duet with a Mythical Pokémon."
"Meloetta."
"The first Legendary Pokémon has been captured."
"..."
Just after washing up and coming downstairs, Seele held up her phone to him like she was presenting a treasure.
"So the first one actually went to Eden."
Xander put on a show of surprise.
In fact, during last night's remote meeting, he already knew a Legendary had been captured, but seeing Seele so excited, he naturally wouldn't spoil her fun.
"Right, right!
During the singing, a beautiful Mythical Pokémon descended from the sky, and the two became partners right there on the spot.
It felt so romantic!"
While the happily chattering Seele clung to him and they headed for the dining table, Bronya listened for a bit and then casually added, "Even though the topic is insanely hot, another voice is getting louder."
"What voice?"
She tapped her chopsticks and said helplessly, "What else—cheating.
A lot of people think we colluded with Eden for hype.
But we clearly didn't do anything."
After thinking for a moment, Xander understood and couldn't help but laugh.
To be honest, at first glance it really does look like cheating if you don't know the details.
The very first Legendary just happened to appear at Eden's highly watched concert.
Say it wasn't arranged, and probably no one would believe it.
"Pokémon are all controlled by AI.
They spawn on their own in environments suitable for them.
For example, Moltres and Entei are very likely to appear in volcanic regions, Articuno in icy fields.
Thunderstorms are too dangerous, so Zapdos and Raikou will most likely show up near power plants..."

After listing a few examples, Xander continued, "Meloetta probably chose to show itself after hearing Eden's singing.
With a voice that beautiful, its appearance is actually perfectly reasonable.
The issue is just that the concert and the 'Legendary descends' event happened to fall on the same day."

"So it was an accident?" Seele blinked and asked.
"Mm, an accident.
But it did bring us unimaginable traffic, didn't it?
As for the suspicion—don't worry about it.
Even if it weren't an accident, treating it as a paid collaboration with Eden would still be fine.
Just a reasonable business move."
Saying that, Xander rubbed his chin thoughtfully and looked at Bronya.
"By the way, should we reach out to Eden and say thanks… No, that's too formal.
I'll just congratulate her on social media."
"These things are your call."
Waving indifferently, Bronya started eating breakfast.
"Mm."
After the congrats post, he could call Elysia.
She's on good terms with Eden.
They could get acquainted and see if there are chances to collaborate later.
He had been eyeing Eden for a long time.
If that voice could be used in his game, what could be more wonderful?
After eating, Bronya and Kaguya returned to their room to change.
"Heading to the office?"
Following them back, Xander admired Bronya's mature, full figure and asked with a smile.
"Yeah.
Not like a certain someone who tosses all the work to others after a remote meeting.
Kaguya and I plan to take this game very seriously!
We'll probably be sleeping at the company for the next few days."
Going back and forth wastes too much time.
They had only just put together a rough prototype.
Gameplay, levels, story—so many things weren't settled yet, and there was too much that needed attention.
"Oh, then good luck~"
He stepped forward and supported Bronya now that her bra was off.
"...Aren't you going to try to keep me here?" Bronya protested, cheeks flushed.
"I am trying to keep you."
Feeling the hand roaming restlessly over her chest, Bronya clenched the bra in her hand and finally couldn't take it, flinging it into Xander's face.
"Who keeps someone like that!!!"
Catching the bra, he moved in with a grin to help her put it on.
He wrapped an arm around her waist and drew that soft body into his arms.
"Then… let me hold you like this for a while, okay?"
"Mm… okay."
...
"Your hand!"
"Sorry, sorry—reflex, reflex."
"You haven't let go once.
We have to leave for the office any minute!"
"Uh… how about changing into a different set?"
Why does duck-butt seem to be getting more and more sensitive?
Xander mused silently.
...
Downstairs, Seele saw Bronya and Kaguya to the door, both of them a little red-faced.
"Bronya-sis, Kaguya-sis, take good care of yourselves.
Seele will miss you."
She said that, but the smile tugging at Seele's lips was about to burst out.
Woohoo—four or five straight days of a two-person world with big brother!!
We're rolling in it—absolutely rolling in it.
When she first heard the news, Seele almost jumped for joy.
No, hold it in.
Don't laugh.
Don't get ahead of yourself.
Bronya-sis and Kaguya-sis aren't gone yet!
At the door, Bronya could hardly fail to notice Seele's little scheme, and she shot the girl a depressed look.
Tch.
If I switch places, it really does feel great.
Lucky Seele.
"Safe travels~"
Xander had just finished saying goodbye when Bronya and Kaguya each tugged him from a side, rose up on tiptoe, and got in a proper farewell right before leaving.
Seele didn't mind at all.
She cheerfully watched them go with reluctance until their figures vanished at the corner down the street.
Only then did the smile on her lips no longer need to be suppressed.
"Big brother~"
Xander had just turned back toward the living room when Seele leapt into his arms.
He quickly reached out to catch her.
The impact made him stumble back—thump—thump—thump—and he landed on the sofa.
With Seele instantly turning into a clingy kitten, rubbing against him here and there, Xander patted her head and said with a laugh, "Bronya and Kaguya being out makes you that happy?"
"Hehe, it's been so long since Seele got to spend time alone with big brother.
Of course I'm happy~"
Naturally, she liked Bronya-sis and Kaguya-sis.
But that didn't stop her from looking forward to a two-person world with big brother.
It was only five short days, so she had to make the most of it!
Just then, Xander's phone suddenly rang.
After struggling for quite a while to extract the phone from where Seele's thighs were pressing against him, he pinched his sore leg and glanced at the screen.
"Kiana?
Why is she calling all of a sudden?"
Muttering to himself, Xander answered as Seele watched curiously.
