Mingzheng did not raise his head, but pointed at the vegetable and meat porridge on the table with the tip of his knife.
After listening to Mingzheng's words, Kojiro glanced at the vegetable and meat porridge subconsciously, and his stomach immediately began to growl unsatisfactorily.
After a moment of hesitation, appetite finally defeated nervousness.
"Thank you... thank you..."
His voice was a little hoarse, and Kojiro probably hadn't even drank much water in the past two days.
Picking up the vegetable and meat porridge, Kojiro took one mouthful after another. Although he didn't pick up the bowl and drink it, his speed was not slow at all.
Within two minutes, a large bowl of warm vegetable and meat porridge was eaten, and a lot of color returned to Kojiro's face.
He licked his lips and looked at the table, looking for something.
"Not full?"
Mingzheng, who had cut up the radish, raised his head and asked softly.
Kojiro blushed and quickly shook his head.
"I want to wash the dishes... I'm looking for a rag."
Mingzheng smiled. At this time, Kojiro was not yet a member of the future Rockets duo. He was well-educated and knew that he must repay kindness.
Even if he joins Team Rocket in the future, Kojiro's heart will always be filled with kindness.
"Take it, just wash it and give it to me."
Passing over the rag and dishwashing liquid, Mingzheng did not refuse Kojiro's help.
Soon, the elves' breakfast was also ready, and Mingzheng gave Kojiro another half bowl of vegetable and meat porridge.
"Let's eat some more together."
Mingzheng didn't give it just now because he saw that he was eating too quickly and was worried that it would be difficult to digest.
Let's eat some together now, it's just right.
Kojiro took it obediently and followed the example of the elves who also sat around.
But at this moment, his attention is no longer on the porridge. Mingzheng's elf team... seems to be very powerful!
He is the young master of the Sasaki family, so he is naturally knowledgeable.
Whether it's the shiny metal monster, the super-large Ye Yibu, or the giant gray deer that I've never seen before, they all show how extraordinary Ming Zheng is as a trainer.
Such a person must be famous, but Kojiro has a heavy academic workload and doesn't have much time to understand the outside world, so he doesn't know who Mingzheng is.
After breakfast, it’s time to get down to business.
Mingzheng looked at Kojiro who wanted to help, and asked: "Do you know where home is? I will take you back."
Kojiro's pupils shrank suddenly and he subconsciously took two steps back: "No... I don't remember."
After all, you are already a teenager, how could you not remember where your home is?
Looking at this nervous look, he is really a good boy who can't even lie.
Mingzheng naturally knew the reason, so he continued to ask without going into details.
"What about your name? How should I call you?"
"Xiao...Xiaojiro!"
Kojiro did not give his last name, obviously because he was worried that he would be sent home by Mingzheng.
"My name is Mingzheng. The nearest city to here is Nohara City. Can I take you to the police station in Nohara City?"
"Ah...hey...how far is it from Lizhi City..."
While talking, Kojiro couldn't continue talking.
He also realized his own inconsistency. Although he didn't know where his home was, he knew that this direction was heading towards Lizhi City.
"Running away from home?" Mingzheng said with a smile.
Kojiro lowered his head, knowing that he could no longer hide it, so he could only nod silently.
The real elf world is very different from the original work. At least no child can travel at the age of 10.
Basically, they are 16-18 years old. After finishing high school, they can choose their future path, whether to continue their education or become a travel trainer.
You can even finish college and then travel to get badges.
However, once the strength reaches the gym level, there will be higher-level competitions for trainers to challenge, and there is no need to stick to the league competition.
Alliance competitions in various regions are mainly aimed at cultivating new trainers.
Therefore, it is very abnormal for Kojiro to appear in the wild before the travel time.
Mingzheng, who knew the plot of the original work, was not prepared to persuade him. Kojiro naturally had his own fate, but he was not prepared to be a nanny either.
"I just left Richi City, and my current goal is Nohara City. Although you walked here alone without injury, you are still tired and fainted. What should you do next?"
Kojiro silently clenched his fists. Mingzheng's words were very realistic, but thinking of the despair he felt before fainting yesterday, he really didn't dare to leave alone.
But if you return to Nohara City, with the abilities of your parents and the Rumega family, it will be easy to find yourself.
what do I do?
Kojiro's eyes were full of confusion. He just wanted to control his own destiny. Is it so difficult?
Mingzheng remained silent. Some things must be experienced by Kojiro himself before he can grow.
For example, bear the consequences of your own choices.
For example, learn to ask for help.
The two of them fell into silence, and Mingzheng did not rush.
Apart from the memories in his mind, Kojiro was a stranger to him.
Free help makes no sense.
Two minutes later, Kojiro clenched his fists, lowered his head, and his body trembled slightly.
"Please...please help me!"
Now he can only ask Mingzheng for help.
And judging from Ming Zheng's ability to save himself, it is still possible to get help!
Mingzheng looked at Kojiro and continued without giving in.
"What can I get from helping you?"
But I saw Kojiro sniffing and said seriously: "Please help me catch an initial elf and give me some food for three years... no, one year! I will return everything to you tenfold!"
Kojiro said solemnly, obviously having thought about these issues while deep in thought.
It is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. If Kati Dog hadn't stayed behind to block the pursuers, he wouldn't have been able to escape.
Therefore, instead of asking Mingzheng to send him somewhere, it is better to have an elf himself.
Mingzheng smiled. With an initial elf and some food, even if it was doubled a hundred times... well, a hundred times would be fine, but ten times would really not be taken seriously.
But who calls Kojiro the real protagonist? If he has this heart that knows how to repay kindness, he will be willing to help him.
It doesn't take much time and energy to form a good relationship, so just do it thoroughly.
"Okay, the test is half passed!
I don't need ten times the compensation, my partners are here, and as long as you can convince any of them to help you, I won't stop you. "
After saying that, Mingzheng took out an empty Poke Ball that had never been registered and handed it to Kojiro.
Kojiro was overjoyed. After thanking him seriously again, he couldn't wait to look at Gala Gala and the others.
He looked at the metal monster first.
No way, the combination of flash + quasi-god is very eye-catching wherever it goes.
But after Kojiro hesitated for two seconds, he looked away with difficulty.
In addition to being powerful, the quasi-god is also extremely proud of his personality. Kojiro doesn't think he can win over the metal monster.
Then his eyes swept over Gala Gala, Shuttlecock Mian, Teng Cui Xiaojiang, Sly-horned Deer, and Ye Yibu.
Three seconds later, Kojiro stood up and walked towards Ye Yibu with firm steps.
Mingzheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Is this guy lucky?
Among the six elves, Yeyibu is truly the most kind-hearted and the most willing to help the weak.
