The renovation captain, a familiar face, looked at Natsu in surprise. "Sir, I believe we just t last month, didn't we?"
"It was last week," Natsu sighed. "I might have to trouble you again in the future."
"Don't worry, just give us a call, and we'll be there anyti!" the renovation captain said with a smile, thinking to himself.
This tenant's business… it's almost equivalent to half the neighborhood's revenue…
Maybe… I should start a renovation company in this area?
The renovation wasn't too complicated—just so repainting.
The money was deducted from Haunter's payroll card.
The giant hole on the second floor was patched up with new bricks, and from the outside, it looked as good as new.
Once the repairs were done, the construction team packed up and left.
Natsu stood with his hands on his hips, glaring at the two culprits.
"Growlithe? (??▽??)" Growlithe scratched its head with its paw.
"Haunter…" Haunter poked its fingers together, giving an awkward smile.
Natsu clicked his tongue.
The renovation money ca from Haunter's account, and Growlithe had learned Fla Wheel…
It seems… I didn't really lose anything?
But still, the authority of the household head must be maintained!
Natsu nodded.
He then pinned Growlithe down and started rubbing its head furiously. "Apologize!"
"Growlithe!" Growlithe struggled on the ground, its little brain suddenly lighting up.
The Trainer seems so happy…
I guess I need to work even harder from now on!
"Growlithe!!" Growlithe howled proudly.
Natsu was taken aback.
He stared at Growlithe's wise eyes for a while but couldn't figure out what it was thinking.
Turning to the dejected Haunter, Natsu patted its head and smiled. "Alright, let's clean up. I'll make dinner."
Haunter was slightly stunned, then grinned from ear to ear, licking Natsu with teary eyes.
"Haunter! ??(｀Д｀??)"
…
After dinner, Natsu sat on the couch.
He held Sylveon and tied its ribbon into a bow.
"Sylveon! (｀皿｀)??"
Sylveon shook its head, the bows on its ears hitting Natsu.
Natsu ignored it.
Glancing at Growlithe, who was busy digging into the couch, he sighed. "I just didn't take you out today. Do you really have to be this energetic?"
Growlithe's eyes widened, paused for a mont, and then continued digging.
"You…"
Natsu felt a pang in his chest and sighed. "Forget it, no point arguing with Growlithe!"
He buried his face in Sylveon's soft, snow-white fur and took a deep breath.
In this world where everyone stabs you in the back…
Only cuddling with an Eevee can soothe Natsu-sensei's wounded heart!
"Sylveon… (????????)"
Sylveon stared at Natsu, lost in thought.
Then, it gently stroked Natsu's head with its ribbon and let out an adorable yawn.
Natsu-sensei, who hadn't slept well these past few days and had dark circles under his eyes, felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him.
"Mmm… so fragrant…"
Resting his head on Sylveon, Natsu gradually drifted into a deep sleep…
anwhile.
Haunter rummaged through the package and pulled out the handwritten manual for [Ice Punch].
"Haunter?"
Haunter tilted its head in confusion at first.
Then, glancing back at the sleeping Natsu, it suddenly had an epiphany.
This must be the Trainer's new challenge!
"Haunter!" Haunter chuckled.
After covering Natsu-sensei with a blanket, Haunter eagerly opened the manual.
Kenji, after all, had made his na with [Ice Punch], so the manual was quite cryptic, testing the Trainer's comprehension.
But Haunter had even managed to understand Koga's [Toxic Manuscript].
This [Ice Punch] was just the first step in mastering the "Farr's Three Punches"!
"Haunter…" (I see…)
Haunter licked the manual thoughtfully, nodding.
With its experience in [Shadow Punch], Haunter had a unique fondness for punching moves…
After all, even Substitute users with an E in Attack eventually rely on "ORA ORA" to win battles.
Haunter floated to the wall, grinning as its fist began to glow with a faint icy aura.
The room temperature dropped, snowflakes fell, and Haunter swung its fist, creating a gust of icy wind.
"Haunter! (σДσ)=3??????????????????"
…
Natsu-sensei had a nightmare.
In the dream, Natsu-sensei struck an embarrassing pose.
With a snap of his fingers, Gengar appeared behind him.
Gengar, with its sinister grin, threw punches so fast they beca a blur…
"Even JOJO's here…"
Natsu rubbed his stiff neck and groaned. "Gengar isn't even an Attack stat specialist!"
The next mont, Natsu-sensei opened his eyes.
"Haunter! (*⊙~⊙)"
Haunter was holding the manual in one hand and a Pecha Berry in the other, licking it with great interest.
Natsu's expression turned strange.
The one who learned [Ice Punch] wasn't Squirtle.
It was , Haunter!!
"I must still be having a nightmare…"
Natsu rubbed his forehead, got up, and went to change the water in the fish tank in the bedroom.
Squirtle was squatting at the bottom of the tank, staring at the blue droplet-shaped crystal, lost in thought.
Natsu called out to it, but when Squirtle didn't respond, he scratched his head. "I'm taking Growlithe out for a walk. Do you want any midnight snacks?"
Squirtle snapped out of it and cautiously shook its head.
Natsu chuckled.
I almost forgot… This guy's probably afraid of being poisoned!
Leaving the bedroom, he glanced at the clock—it was only 7 PM.
Sylveon was sprawled on the couch, too lazy to move.
So, Natsu grabbed the leash and took Growlithe out for a walk.
"This is such a healthy lifestyle," Natsu said cheerfully. "All I'm missing is a female Trainer!"
As the sky darkened, Natsu and Growlithe headed straight for the departnt store.
The adorable Growlithe and the handso young man attracted quite a bit of attention.
"So handso…"
"He must be rich, raising a Growlithe like that…"
"Natsu-sensei?!"
Natsu's destination was the musical instrunt store on the second floor.
After the Youth Tournant, Natsu-sensei had gained [Performance Lv3], and this trip was to test the skill's effectiveness.
The instrunt store was bustling with custors, filled with pianos, drum sets, guitars, and more.
"Can I try these instrunts?" Natsu asked.
The sales assistant nodded with a smile. "Feel free."
Natsu-sensei's previous knowledge of pianos was limited to Yamaha.
But the matte black piano in front of him, with its silver Swablu engraving, caught his eye.
Natsu placed Growlithe on the piano bench, flexed his fingers, and thought: Might as well give it a try. No harm in that.
As Natsu sat down at the piano, many curious eyes turned his way.
When the clear notes began to play, the onlookers' expressions softened, and they pulled out their phones.
The gentle chords, his fingers dancing across the keys—Natsu raised an eyebrow.
This skill… is actually pretty useful!
Natsu: "You're telling this isn't a Strear System?!"
The System remained silent.
I gave you this skill to increase your Pokémon's affection, not to beco a content creator!
As the song ended, applause broke out, and people began whispering.
Natsu turned to the sales assistant. "If I buy multiple instrunts, can I get a discount?"
The assistant, still dazed, replied, "O-of course!"
"Are you planning to teach classes for children?"
The assistant noticed Natsu's slender fingers and blushed slightly.
What a talented young piano teacher…
"Just one piano," Natsu said, looking around. "But I'll take one of each instrunt here."
The assistant: ???
Are you here to wholesale instrunts?
"S-sir… if you want to learn other instrunts, you can sign up for classes first and then purchase them," the assistant stamred.
Natsu shook his head and smiled frankly. "I think I can handle all the instrunts here."
Seeing Natsu-sensei's confident deanor, the assistant was speechless.
…
With the knowledge provided by [Performance], Natsu wasn't worried about being scamd.
He picked out a drum set, piano, guitar, bass, and more.
Natsu arranged for Dodrio Express to deliver everything to his address.
The local delivery was fast, and by 10 PM that night, all the instrunts had arrived at Natsu-sensei's ho.
Fortunately, the rented house was spacious enough to dedicate a room to the various instrunts.
The little ones curiously watched the Machokes moving the equipnt in and out.
By 11 PM, the cleared-out attic had turned into a small music studio.
Natsu sat on the piano bench, placing Sylveon on his lap.
He turned on the cara and started recording.
Back in late July, during his first date with Cynthia, Natsu-sensei had thought about covering this song.
Although the lody was familiar, without music theory knowledge, it was hard to transcribe it into sheet music.
Lovers gazing at the sea on a sumr night, the fireworks lighting up the sky, the gentle evening breeze…
"打ち上げ花火", directly translated as "Launching Fireworks," is more commonly known as (Uchiage Hanabi).
Stretching, Natsu glanced at the various instrunts waiting for him in the corner.
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
Natsu-sensei, a one-man band!
