The next morning, when Naoki opened his eyes, he heard the patter of rain coming from outside.
Looking out through the window, I saw that the world outside was gray and the sky was dark.
It's raining.
The continuous spring rain enveloped the crops that had just been planted.
"It saves me the time of watering." Naoki thought.
On a rainy day, Naoki didn't want to go out for fishing or picking mountain products because he didn't want his feet to be covered in mud, so he didn't choose to go out.
Instead, he stayed at home and renovated the old house, changing the positions of the furniture according to his own preferences.
Move the desk under the window so that he can have a wider field of vision when reading in the future, without being as depressed as before.
The position of the bed remained unchanged. Leaning against the corner gave him a sense of security.
As for the cabinets…
Naoki circled it, and finally planned to move it to the other side to separate the seating area from the kitchen.
But when Naoki directed Gullton to move the cabinets away, he was surprised to find a dusty fireplace behind.
The fireplace was dark, and there were still some burn marks.
Naoki leaned in and took a closer look, and soon found that the fireplace seemed to be functioning normally.
It was okay to have nothing to do, so he simply started cleaning up the remaining old plant ashes in the fireplace.
Soon, the fireplace was cleaned up. Looking there, Naoki couldn't help but think to himself: "This is really a big surprise!"
In this way, in winter, he can light the fireplace to increase the temperature in the house without worrying about freezing.
As an ordinary social worker living in modern times, this was the first time he had seen such a thing as a fireplace.
Speaking of the fireplace, Naoki remembered the fairy tales he read in storybooks when he was a child.
There is a warm picture of a mother bear sitting in front of the fireplace knitting a sweater for her little bear in the forest, while the little bear is playing with a ball of yarn next to it.
Not to mention, that kind of life is really exciting.
Of course, it would be nice to have a few more Pokémon.
Like the cute Eevee, the warm Vulpix, the cute Pikachu, the pink and tender Mew, and so on.
"This is real life!"
Naoki couldn't help but sigh.
If he hadn't traveled through time, he would probably be catching the subway to work in the heavy rain, right?
However, the past is in the past, not to mention there is nothing worth remembering there.
Seizing the moment is the most important thing.
Naoki shook his head. The room was a little stuffy, so he opened the door and let the wind blow in.
With the cool wind blowing, Naoki sat in front of his desk and began to flip through the "Pasture Encyclopedia" and read the information about spring crops.
Including how to fertilize, growth cycle, number of times you can receive goods, etc.
Motorized Lizard and Gulledon did not disturb him from reading, but lay quietly by the door listening to the rain.
But at this moment, Gu Luton seemed to feel something.
It suddenly straightened up and took two steps forward.
"Gass?"
Naoki turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw the old man, Leden stuck his head out of the door and looked to the side.
"What's wrong?"
"Gahsh."
So Luton tilted his head and looked at the familiar green caterpillar.
Seeing its movements, Naoki also stood up and stepped forward to check.
Looking at the green caterpillar huddled under the eaves, soaked by the rain, Naoki showed a surprised expression on his face.
"Green caterpillar?"
As if hearing his voice, the green caterpillar opened its eyes weakly and looked over.
"Hiss..."
Seeing this scene, Naoki immediately had a bold idea in his mind.
Could this green caterpillar be the one he used to test the effect of glutinous rice dumplings yesterday?
What does it mean to follow?
Naoki was surprised. He briefly observed the condition of the green caterpillar and saw that it seemed to be very weak. He brought it into the room, helped it dry the rain on its body, and then took out an old blanket and wrapped it in it. in.
"Hiss..."
Seeing this human action, the green caterpillar's eyes were filled with gratitude.
It followed yesterday.
However, due to the slow speed and the attacks from some Pokémon on the road, it arrived here only after dark.
Those Pokémon are very strong, and the green caterpillar could only run away from them before, but after eating that magical fruit, it gained the ability to fight them.
Although it was not enough to defeat those guys, the tough worm threads were able to trap them inside.
Seeing his own power made the green caterpillar even more grateful to the human who helped him.
It wanted to become stronger and make all Pokémon dare not look down upon it, so it came.
But he was worried that he would disturb the other party, so the green caterpillar stayed outside the door.
Naoki brought a plate of hot juice that could warm the body and placed it in front of the green caterpillar.
Watching the green caterpillar drink the juice, Naoki thought about the green caterpillar's behavior and wondered whether this guy was deceived by it and wanted to travel with him like Ash Ketchum's Heracross in the anime, right?
After thinking for a moment, Naoki asked tentatively: "Do you want to choose me to be your trainer?"
The green caterpillar stopped drinking water, felt its warm body, and nodded repeatedly: "Uh-huh!"
"But I'm not a trainer!" Naoki spread his hands and said, "As you can see, I'm just an ordinary rancher and I don't know how to train Pokémon."
Regarding training Pokémon, he only had a lot of theoretical knowledge from watching anime and had never practiced it himself.
"Hiss..."
The green caterpillar looked a little sad.
Naoki scratched his head. As expected of the Pokémon world, even a bug is so smart.
In order to become stronger, this green caterpillar took the initiative to follow Cheng Yi and Cheng Men Lixue...
It would be unreasonable if he didn't show something.
Naoki fell into thought.
Although the Pokémon Green Caterpillar is very weak, the evolved Bad Butterfly is quite good and can help spread pollen to the crops in the pasture and help them grow.
Thinking of this, Naoki added: "I'm not a trainer, so I can't treat you like a trainer training Pokémon, but I may use other methods to help you become stronger. Even so, you still have to follow me. ?"
There are so many types of dishes. Maybe one day in the future, he will make dishes that can enhance the abilities of Bad Butterfly or Green Caterpillar.
But the probability is not 100%, so Naoki used the word "possible".
If the green caterpillar is willing, he will let it stay in the pasture and help with the work.
The green caterpillar understood the meaning of these words. It lowered its head and looked at the blanket wrapped around it, and then at the juice in front of it that could warm the body.
This human being is so nice!
Not only did he save it from being injured in the wild, but also gave it the fruit to make it stronger. Not only that, but now it also provides it with blankets and food.
At this moment, the green caterpillar no longer chose this human just to become stronger.
——It likes this human being.
Thinking of this, the green caterpillar nodded.
"Hiss~"
