After returning to the Overworld, Shinobu Kocho and Mitsuri Kanroji stayed with Lin Tian the whole time. They were very worried about his state.
"Sigh~, I told you, I'm fine. What are you two thinking?" Looking at their worried eyes, Lin Tian also said helplessly.
Heaven have mercy, he just wanted to get revenge on the Minotaur that had indirectly harmed Aoi Kanzaki. After all, he saw them all as family.
The two girls stared intently at his expression. After confirming that it was really as he said, they were relieved.
They were really worried that Lin Tian would blame himself for what happened to Aoi, since he was the one who had decided to split up and explore.
.....
For the next while, Lin Tian didn't go back to the Twilight Forest, instead spending time with Mitsuri and the others from the Butterfly Mansion.
Tonight, Lin Tian was sleeping with Mitsuri and Nezuko. Shinobu had to go and stay with Aoi.
This also happened to give Mitsuri an opportunity.
Although Nezuko was there, she could fool her by just pretending to be asleep first.
During this time, to prevent Lin Tian from actually falling asleep, she kept disturbing him.
This made Lin Tian constantly give her looks, and he even reached out to tickle her waist, but Mitsuri remained unmoved.
Seeing her like this, Lin Tian also understood her determination.
He sighed. It seemed there was no escaping tonight. But it was indeed time to show his true feelings.
The two of them thus had their own ulterior motives, but their thoughts were somewhat in alignment.
Only Nezuko, who was still watching cartoons, didn't know. She was still laughing at the show on TV.
After watching for nearly an hour, Nezuko also noticed that it was getting a little late. She looked at the two beside her and obediently prepared to go to sleep.
Lin Tian got out of bed, turned off the television, and returned to the large bed. It had to be said, the beds in the MC world were really comfortable. They were soft to the touch. No wonder one could fall asleep in an instant!
.....
Arriving at the center of the bed, Lin Tian also lay down on the far right. Nezuko rolled over, gave him a sweet smile, and then fell asleep in an instant.
Seeing Nezuko's habitual instant sleep, Lin Tian also noticed a pair of shining pink eyes on her other side.
Lin Tian's face turned slightly red. He picked up Nezuko and placed her to the side, then moved closer to Mitsuri.
"Tian~" Mitsuri softly called his name.
Lin Tian took out the Pokémon, a large Onix, that Ash had helped him catch, wanting to have a Pokémon battle with Mitsuri's Cloyster.
This was the Onix he had specially requested from Ash for Mitsuri. It was very well-maintained.
But Mitsuri's Cloyster wasn't bad either. She had asked Misty for maintenance tips during the last get-together.
He had heard that the smoother a Cloyster's shell, the stronger an Onix's desire to attack?
She hadn't quite understood at the time but had still followed Misty's method to maintain her Cloyster. Looking at the Onix Lin Tian sent out, she finally understood what Misty meant. But wasn't this just setting her up for a fall?
Mitsuri Kanroji: 'I feel like I can't win.'
Lin Tian didn't care if she was ready or not. One couldn't slack off in a Pokémon battle. Sometimes, the winner could be decided in an instant.
He saw Lin Tian directly command the Onix to use Sucker Punch. The Cloyster lost a lot of health from this attack.
But Mitsuri also reacted quickly, immediately commanding her Cloyster to use Protect.
This time, the Onix was trapped instead. As expected, one couldn't underestimate a novice. She was really strong!
Lin Tian praised her, then once again commanded the Onix to use Double-Edge. In an instant, the Cloyster's Protect was broken.
The rest of the battle was a foregone conclusion. The Cloyster lost again and again, losing all its defensive locks. Mitsuri was still a novice; how would she know what to do? She hurriedly gave commands, but the Cloyster could no longer hear its trainer's voice.
Its whole body was covered in wounds, and it was already on the verge of fainting.
Seeing this, Lin Tian also commanded the Onix to use its final move—Breath.
This move was super effective. The Cloyster could fight no more and lay on the ground, fainted.
With that, the final winner of this Pokémon tournament was—Lin Tian!
.....
The next day.
The moment Nezuko woke up, she noticed that Lin Tian was already up, but Sister Mitsuri was still sleeping?
Seeing Mitsuri sleeping, Nezuko was a little confused. Didn't she usually get up very early?
And...
"Sniff, sniff"
Nezuko felt a very fragrant smell in the air. "Is Brother Lin Tian cooking?"
Nezuko thought with confusion, but the smell didn't seem right. It wasn't the fragrance of food.
Before she could think too much about it, Lin Tian's voice came.
"Nezuko, time to get up and eat breakfast!"
At that moment, Lin Tian pushed open the bedroom door and said to the already-awake Nezuko.
Hearing his words, Nezuko stopped thinking about what that smell was. Eating was more important!
But...
"Brother Lin Tian, should we wake up Sister Mitsuri?" Nezuko asked, looking at the still-sound-asleep Mitsuri beside her.
Hearing her words, Lin Tian's face turned red. "No need. Let your Sister Mitsuri sleep a little longer. She was also tired last night."
'Tired?' Hearing his words, Nezuko was a little confused. Why would she be tired? Did she do something very tiring?
She didn't think too much about it and followed him out. Only Mitsuri was left in the room.
And at this moment, Mitsuri's breathing was also a little rapid. She was clearly already awake. After all, a night's sleep was enough to replenish her energy.
But she didn't dare to face Nezuko right now, afraid that she would tell on her to Shinobu. And her Pokémon, Cloyster, had also been damaged. It still had the scars from the Breath attack.
But thinking about last night's experience, she felt a little excited again.
This was the benefit of MC. No matter how serious the injury, as long as you ate your fill, you could recover, even down there.
But thinking that she would have to go out and face Nezuko and Shinobu eventually, Mitsuri still got up. After all, the longer she delayed, the more likely she would be suspected.
With this thought, Mitsuri also got up, got out of bed, and walked out of the bedroom.
"Lin Tian, Nezuko, good morning!"
