Chapter 583 Wow, Mary is so cute!
After a match that could easily be called a coaching game, Aoba easily secured his first victory.
However, due to the large gap in points, his points barely increased, while Du Juan only dropped a few places.
"I've learned a lot, Teacher Yu!"
After the match, Du Juan quickly composed herself and gracefully walked up to shake hands with Qing Yu.
"It is an honor to have the opportunity to battle with such a powerful trainer as you. I hope to have the opportunity to battle with you again in the future."
This is a lie.
After the match, Du Juan had actually come to realize her current level of ability.
However, the golden spirit of the Zvoch family is to never give up, so they must never show their cowardice!
What should I do if I can't beat Teacher Yu?
Let's leave it to the even stronger Daigo! He'll definitely put on a spectacular offensive and defensive battle with Yu-sensei!
As for myself—
Du Juan felt that she was still too young and needed to mature further, so being an audience member was fine.
"You've done a great job."
"As a newcomer, it's already commendable to have the courage to accept failure. You will definitely become stronger in the future."
Qingyu also offered her a few words of encouragement at the right time.
"However—let me offer a tiny bit of advice."
Sometimes, an unexpected choice is more important than an "absolutely correct" judgment.
"If you can grasp this point, your command style will definitely become more mature."
Du Juan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded after thinking for a while.
"I see."
"Thank you again for your guidance, Teacher Yu!"
Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief after watching Du Juan leave quickly.
Fortunately, Du Juan has a strong mental fortitude.
If I make another trainer cry, I always feel a strange sense of guilt.
Although the requirement to go all out was something Du Juan herself made.
Wait, why did I say "again"?
Qingyu scratched his head, not paying too much attention to it, and quickly turned and left the venue.
As he stepped out of the arena, Zhu Lan, dressed in a white dress, was waiting for him.
"Congratulations?"
After Zhu Lan spoke up, the two smiled at each other.
"Just a victory that was taken for granted."
When they were alone together, Qingyu was unusually more confident.
After all, if he said he won easily in front of others, they would definitely think he was being arrogant, but in Zhulan's eyes, it was perfectly normal.
As a holder of the title of "Eight Masters", Zhu Lan was qualified to skip the first round of auditions, so she was much more relaxed than Qing Yu.
According to the points ranking, Qingyu is still several places behind her.
"Let's go get some dinner first. Shall we try some local Galar specialties?"
After casually glancing at the sky, Qingyu took the initiative to extend an invitation.
"it is good."
Zhu Lan smiled and nodded.
"I've heard that Galar is famous for its curry, and also for a dish called fish and chips."
"I'll give it a try today!"
In a restaurant in Gongmen City that served "authentic old Galerian cuisine," Qingyu looked at the delicious food on the table, feeling a little conflicted.
How to put it—
Although it is known that Galar's prototype is Dai-ei, who has always been known as the "Food Desert" and whose cooking skills are automatically awakened when international students go there.
But after truly experiencing the local food culture, he was qualified to sincerely exclaim, "What a miserable life these Galatians are living!"
Fish and chips can actually be considered a dish, and even the most representative local food??
It takes real talent to make fried food taste bad.
-
Curry goes without saying.
Is this a local specialty? It's not as good as our Padiya sandwiches!
If it weren't for the fact that Third Brother hasn't gotten his visa yet, he would definitely have to fight with those chefs in Galar!
Fortunately, this restaurant didn't have the legendary "Stargazing" pie, otherwise I might have ordered one to try.
Even if your cooking skills are terrible, at least the food you make is edible.
I guess so?
I want to see what kind of amazing tricks the hellish chefs from other regions have up their sleeves!
"Don't you like the food?"
Seeing that Qingyu was holding a knife and fork but had not made a move, Zhulan took the initiative to ask.
"No, I was just thinking about tomorrow."
Qingyu shook her head and picked up a piece of fries with her fork.
"The preliminary rounds are just a formality for me; other contestants probably don't want to be matched with me too early."
"So, I'm free these few days, and I can go to the Crown Snowfield with you."
Qingyu is currently firmly in ninth place, and the score gap between him and the players ranked tenth and below is enormous.
Even if they don't play the next game, it's unlikely they'll drop out of 16th place.
Let's see if we can control the score a little on the last day of the auditions.
"it is good."
Zhu Lan's smile became even gentler.
As a champion whose main profession is mythology, she has always been more interested in the myths and legends of various places than in battles.
Previously, due to his status as champion, he had to stay in Sinnoh, which caused him to miss many opportunities. He could only hear about the legendary Pokémon that had awakened in various regions from Qingyu.
Now that she finally had the opportunity to personally visit a "hermit," Zhu Lan, who happened to be free, naturally wouldn't miss it.
Galar left behind only a few legends about the deeds of the "King of Abundance".
However, there is basically no information about its existence or when it was active in Galar.
Even the heroes Zacian and Zamazenth have ancient murals that prove they were indeed respected in the past.
But the Crested King left no proof of its existence.
This in itself is strange.
A king who is said to have once ruled Galar and who possesses the most attractive power to mankind: "Abundance".
It is absolutely impossible for it to remain unknown.
Therefore, there is only one truth: this wise king named King Rai-crown may have deliberately concealed his own history and completely disappeared from human society.
But why would it do that?
Perhaps no one knows, not even Qingyu or Dr. Mulan from Galar, could reach an accurate conclusion.
I'm so curious!
As she pondered, Zhu Lan's eyes curved into two crescent moons.
Unearthing the buried truths of history has always been a task that mythologists enjoy immensely.
Compared to battles and championships, myths and legends are definitely more interesting.
After a quick dinner, Qingyu and Zhulan prepared to return to the inn to rest and recharge for their Crown Snowfield adventure the next day.
On the way, they encountered a group of teenagers wearing black leather jackets and with strange patterns painted on their faces.
"Dear viewers, welcome to our Shout Team! Let's protect the world's most adorable Miss Mary together!"
"Miss Mary is so cute, let's all become her supporters!"
"If you don't join, the only way we can force you to become one of us is through battle!"
"Let's all shout together, Miss Mary, the cutest girl in the world, is the best!!!"
This group of people looks very abstract, and what they do is more like a performance art piece.
But passersby didn't seem to be strangers to them; on the contrary, some even greeted them with smiles.
Even the kids who seem intimidating will politely wave at this time.
"Are all Galatians this unrestrained?"
Zhu Lan stopped and looked at Qing Yu curiously.
The reason for not choosing to avoid it is simple—
Because the location where these shouting groups were conducting their propaganda happened to be right in front of the hotel where they were staying.
"I guess it's because I've gotten used to it."
Qingyu shrugged and continued watching them with interest.
"The Shout Team is a small group from Spike Town. Although they look like a villainous organization, they don't actually do anything bad. At most, they just disrupt the local order."
"As for the 'Miss Mary' they mentioned, she's the younger sister of Nie Zi, the gym leader of Spiketown."
"However, she seems to be a newcomer; she shouldn't have qualified for this year's Masters Championship, right?"
Qingyu had glanced through the list of participants for this year's competition, so she was also a little curious about their behavior.
That's incorrect!
Just as he and Zhu Lan were whispering to each other, a tall member of the shouting group who was handing out flyers suddenly pointed at Qing Yu.
"Does not participating in the Masters tournament mean I can't cheer for Miss Mary?"
"Of course not! How could our love be affected by external factors? We must transmit energy to Miss Mary every single moment!"
'
Qingyu scratched his head, unsure how to respond.
Actually, a simple "villainous organization" like the Shout Team can be quite endearing at times.
After all, their love was pure and they didn't cause any trouble for society. It's said that they would sometimes even take the initiative to do good deeds under Mary's guidance.
This isn't some villainous organization at all; it's clearly a group of good young people who have transcended vulgar interests and have lofty aspirations!
Qingyu was also very honored, because he had once been a member of the Shout Team.
Wow, Mary is so cute!
I wonder if his thoughts were written all over his face again.
"Comrade, you seem quite interested in our Shout Team. Would you like to join us?"
The tall member of the shouting team suddenly came over and offered her a poster with a cute picture of Mary on the front.
(Mary is so cute!)
Qingyu: ? ? ?
In other circumstances, he might have gladly accepted the gift from his good friend.
but----
Don't you have any common sense?!
There are other people around me!
Feeling the grip on her wrist tighten, Qingyu was about to tearfully refuse the invitation to join the Shout Team.
And it was at this moment—
"What are you doing now!"
The hotel door was suddenly opened, followed by a furious shout from a young girl, which immediately startled the surrounding shouting team members into a panic.
The girl wore a black studded jacket over a pink dress, and her hair stood up like Morubek's ears.
The image is exactly the same as the cute girl printed on the flyers distributed by the shouting team.
"Mama mama mama, Marie!!!"
"Miss Mary, we're promoting your beauty to outstanding trainers in other regions—?"
"Idiot, stop causing trouble for others!"
This was the first time Qingyu had clearly seen a girl with bulging veins on her forehead.
Although it sounds very imposing, combined with her still young face and voice, it actually adds a touch of cuteness to the contrast.
"If you really have nothing better to do, why don't you volunteer at the Palace Arena!"
"Stop doing things that only make me embarrassed!"
Clearly, Mary already knew exactly how to manage her enthusiastic fans.
She quickly calmed down and softened her tone slightly.
The shouting team, on the contrary, became even more passionate, with shouts of "Oh ho!" rising and falling.
"Angry Miss Mary—so cute!"
"I understand. I will carry out all of Miss Mary's instructions!"
"Shouting Team, all troops, attack!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh—!"
Soon, led by an unknown minor leader, a small group of more than a dozen people, the shouting team, set off in a grand procession toward the palace arena.
Mary finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Qingyu and Zhulan, who were silently watching her.
Her cheeks became noticeably rosier.
"Sorry, the shouting team caused you trouble."
"It's okay, I understand."
Qingyu smiled and waved at her.
"Fans being too enthusiastic can be a nuisance sometimes, but I guess it's also a way for them to express their love."
The little incident with the Screaming Team just now reminded him of the members of the "Star Team" far away in Padia.
If only my fans could be as united and supportive as the Scream Team!
As fellow villainous organizations, look at the Sky Star Team!
After he taught the children of Padia a lesson, they were all now rebellious and stubborn as nails.
When he returns to Padiya next year, he will likely face another round of "strategies" from the members of the Star Team.
"I think those kids in the shouting team are right."
"They say you're the cutest princess in the world, and they're absolutely right~"
Although it was the first time Zhu Lan had met Mary, she was very friendly and started joking with her.
A casual remark made Mary's face turn even redder, and even steam seemed to rise from her head.
"Bamboo and bamboo orchid champions, please don't make such jokes!"
"And Teacher Yu too—"
"I've always been a big fan of yours!"
While trying to maintain her aloof expression, Mary waved her hands shyly, her words becoming incoherent.
But this actually makes her even cuter.
Zhu Lan and Qing Yu exchanged a smile and stopped teasing the little girl.
After chatting with Mary for a few more minutes, they went into the hotel elevator to prepare for their trip the next day.
As for Mary?
After glancing around to make sure no one was in the hall for the time being, Mary, her face flushed, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Teacher Yu and Zhu Lan, the champion, said I was cute.
The thought that she had just been praised by two idols at the same time made Mary's lips curl into a slight smile.
After noticing her expression in the mirror on the wall, Mary deliberately extended two fingers, pulled the corners of her mouth upwards, and manually made herself smile.
Next time, I definitely have to laugh out loud!
(Mary)
