Chapter 367:
The video call connected, and the screen soon showed the sister Indeedee... and gumi’s face.
"Huh?"
Kaede was montarily surprised.
"Alcremie, Alcremie! Brother Kaede, I want to see Alcremie!"
Over there, as soon as the call connected, gumi exclaid excitedly, her face slightly flushed, probably from the excitent.
But this exclamation made Kaede move the phone back a bit.
"You want to see Alcremie?"
Kaede looked back at Alcremie lying in its bowl; it seed to be in a daze.
"Why do you want to see it? It’s spacing out."
As he spoke, he brought Alcremie over, bowl and all.
ヾ(≧▽≦*)o: "Wahh... Alcremie..."
The mont gumi saw Alcremie co into view, her eyes lit up even more, practically pressing her face against the screen.
"How is it so strong?"
Alcremie, being brought over, still looked a bit dazed and clueless.
When it saw gumi on the other side, it didn’t react imdiately, only feeling that the person looked sowhat familiar.
It later rembered this was the person who used to always grab one of them to work together.
"Alcremie?"
Alcremie looked at her, puzzled.
"She’s praising you, saying you’re very strong."
Kaede explained.
Then he watched as a bright smile spread across Alcremie’s face again.
Actually, this Alcremie was still very easy to please, both timid and shy. Before, when praised, it would blush with embarrassnt.
Later, it gradually got better.
Now, it doesn’t get as shy when praised.
"How is its luck so good?"
gumi couldn’t help but ask, thinking of the match she watched in the morning.
"Who knows?"
Kaede couldn’t explain this either. Although he had created dishes that could increase luck, those dishes weren’t only eaten by Alcremie.
But the only one with such luck was this single Alcremie.
"Hmm... alright..." gumi didn’t dwell on this question much, but still kept her eyes on Alcremie, a gleam of anticipation in her eyes. "Little cutie, I never knew you were this cute and yet this strong. I really want to hug you right now, see what you’re made of..."
Hearing this, Kaede rolled his eyes.
Judging by the background of the video, gumi should be at his house.
If she’s at his house, then there are twelve other Alcremie there.
Besides, what is Alcremie made of?
Isn’t it just made of cream?
But he didn’t dwell on this issue either, waving at her instead. "Alright, alright, move aside a bit. Let talk to the sister Indeedee"
gumi moved away reluctantly, and the sister Indeedee stepped forward with her cute face.
"Where’s your brother?" Kaede’s first question was about the brother.
"Indeedee~" (It’s cleaning up the dishes.)
Sister Indeedee held her hands together and replied softly.
Kaede asked again, "Has anything happened at ho? If there’s anything you can’t handle, call anyti."
"Indeedee~" (There was sothing today. Several people were at the breeding house door and said they wanted to do the Sky Challenge.)
"The Sky Challenge?" Kaede frowned.
"Indeedee..." Indeedee nodded.
Then she added, "Indeedee~" (But Brother said we aren’t accepting challenges, and they left without causing trouble.)
"I see..."
Kaede understood.
This was the backlash from the rising popularity.
His Sky Challenge video and the notice about the Sky Challenge being temporarily halted weren’t posted together. So sotis people might only see one video, leading to so being unaware of the situation.
But this wasn’t a big issue; he could just have Rotom add a pinned video explaining it.
He then brought up the main reason for the call. "So... are you scared being at ho alone?"
"Indeedee?"
Indeedee was taken aback, her small hands clasped together tightening slightly.
She wasn’t scared.
Big Brother was still at ho, and there were Steenee and Tsareena, and so many Pidgeot...
She was just worried whether the food she made would be disliked by everyone still at the breeding house.
Also, Salance was a bit scary every ti she fed it.
But after spending more ti with it, she realized that although Salance had so scary scars, it was really just a big dragon that loved to sleep.
So all in all, not that scary.
"If you’re scared, we can co back now..."
"Indeedee?"
Indeedee’s eyes lit up.
But at that mont, the brother Indeedee seed to have finished cleaning the dishes and ca over from the kitchen, hearing the conversation between Kaede and his sister.
So he ca over, expression serious, pulled his sister away from the cara, and said, "Indeedee, Indeedee!" (No, no!)
Sister Indeedee was stunned. "Indeedee?"
"Indeedee, Indeedee....." the brother Indeedee was even more stern.
"Indeedee...." sister Indeedee pursed her lips, showing an "I understand" expression.
This left Kaede on the other side montarily stunned. He then moved his ear closer to the screen, barely able to hear what they were discussing.
It was the brother scolding the sister.
Saying things like he’s busy right now, we should take good care of the house properly, not make him co back and get distracted.
The sister Indeedee ’s voice sounded weak and acknowledged as if she understood.
When the two Indeedee returned to the screen, they had unified their stance.
"Indeedee~" (We’re not scared.)
"Indeedee!" (Leave it to us!)
The brother’s deanor was serious, as if facing so arduous task.
In fact, that’s exactly what the brother was thinking.
On one hand, Kaede was currently away competing in matches; that was important business and shouldn’t be interrupted.
On the other hand, the brother wanted Kaede to know that even if he and Gardevoir weren’t ho, they could still manage the house well.
Because Kaede’s foundation was here; he couldn’t always stay ho and would occasionally need to go out for matters.
During those tis, Kaede needed to be able to rest assured on leaving household affairs to them!
"Hmm... Is that so?"
"Then I’ll leave it to you."
Although separated by the screen and not fully knowing what the brother Indeedee was thinking, seeing its serious expression successfully dispel Kaede’s thoughts of returning ho.
The matches would take at most another day and a half. Going back now would just an troubling Dragonite to bring him back tomorrow.
Even though it was fast, flying in this cold, bleak weather was really hard on it.
Better to finish the matches quickly and go back properly for the New Year~
