I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time."

Li Ran lay on the big white bed in the hotel and stretched lazily. All his fatigue was gone and he even wanted to stay in bed longer.

A day ago, Hong Pang finally used his superpowers to check into the hotel here.

dong dong.

"Xiao Ran, get up quickly, we can go back!"

Hong Pang's voice came from outside. He was helping to bring food, so he didn't bring the room card.

"Really?"

Li Ran opened the door and couldn't wait to check. Although he had enough food here, it was still not as good as eating outside. He felt a bitter taste in his mouth these days.

“Just now in the restaurant, I heard that Master Yun Qiyan and others have returned to rest in their rooms.”

Hong Pang handed over the packed food in his hand while enjoying Li Ran's words "Thank you, godfather".

"That's good. This way we, the little soldiers, won't have to worry about it."

Li Ran shrugged indifferently after listening to this, but it was still great to be able to go back. This time he had no chance to go anywhere except the Winter Region, and he had caught most of the elves. He had activated the second tier of rewards in the system a few days ago, but it had not been opened yet, so he thought about going back home first.

"You are such a salty fish..."

After searching on the Internet, Hong Pang wanted to get in touch with those top masters, maybe he could get some guidance on his path to becoming a trainer.

"Why not?"

Li Ran opened the food and started eating it in big mouthfuls. Anyway, he didn't want to be a trainer. Being a salted fish was his dream.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Li Ran here?"

Just as they were chatting, an inopportune voice came from the other side of the door, which had not yet been closed. Li Ran had just eaten a piece of pork chop and was almost choked to death.

"Ahem, it's me. Is there anything you can do for me?"

Li Ran wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with a tissue and looked at the man outside the door.

They are like a professional team, wearing formal black suits, sunglasses, and a serious and unapproachable temperament, giving them the feeling of bodyguards.

The man looked at Li Ran, and a light flashed in his eyes hidden behind his sunglasses. He stood straight at the door and spoke.

"I need to consult you about something. Do you have time?"

"Okay, just say it."

Li Ran felt a little wary, but he quickly suppressed it. He had never shown his face in the tower before, and had never been seen by anyone, so what was he afraid of?

"It's best not to have outsiders in our conversation."

The black man glanced at Hong Pang, and Hong Pang immediately understood what he meant and quietly walked out of the room.

"This guy......"

When Li Ran saw the ruthless figure leaving, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he looked at the man in the suit helplessly and asked.

"We are the only two here. Can you tell me what you want to talk to me about?"

"Don't be hostile, I'm just asking casually."

The man in the suit pulled over a chair and sat down naturally, crossing his legs deliberately, fearing that others would not know how long his legs were.

"Excuse me, where were you a few days ago, from the 24th to the 27th?"

Li Ran's pupils shrank slightly when he heard that, but soon returned to normal.

"I was in Qiuyu, but I was unlucky and fell into a cave. It took me a long time to get out."

As expected, they were coming for him. Li Ran was as steady as an old dog and did not show any emotion on his face. He spoke calmly.

"Which cave is that?"

The man in the suit didn't give Li Ran any chance to breathe and continued asking like a poisonous scorpion.

"The one to the west."

Li Ran had visited almost the entire island before. As far as he knew, only the cave on the west side seemed to have a large activity area, so he had never gone deep into it.

The man in the suit smiled and did not continue asking questions, but his suspicion towards Li Ran deepened.

He had been to the cave west of Qiu Territory.

Although it is possible to fall in accidentally, it is absolutely impossible for it to take three days to get out.

"Second question, what is your trainer rating?"

"Rookie trainer."

Li Ran took out the identity card that symbolized his identity and handed it to the man. He could clearly see the man's surprised look.

"I didn't expect that... But it's a bit strange that a rookie trainer like you can beat Zhang Qing."

"I'm curious about how you've grown to this point in just over a month."

Li Ran's next move surprised the man.

He actually started to think seriously, supporting his chin with his hand, and only raised his head and gave him an answer three minutes later.

"Maybe the food at Asakusa Research Institute is too good..."

Li Ran said honestly that it seemed that the cultivation of Longlongyan was not done by himself, but it was just because the research institute gave him too much.

"..."

The man in the suit was silent for a while. He regretted why he came here without checking some information. It seemed that what the boy said was true and he looked very innocent.

He is Feng Ke, the president of the Elf Association. He originally hoped that the secret realm would appear, but the report from Yun Qiyan and others reduced his joy by half.

It was not until Yun Qiyan said that a bead was missing from the tower that Feng Ke began to investigate.

Then he discovered problems with the list of people on the island. All the names were registered at the beginning of the incident related to the Blazing Volcano, except Li Ran, who was registered three days later.

Moreover, the timing was exactly when Yun Qiyan was contacting the outside world, so he couldn't be blamed for thinking too much, so he found many people to inquire about Li Ran's situation.

Among them was Zhang Qing. When Feng Ke learned that this young man was only a rookie trainer but had defeated him, he had an inexplicable feeling that there must be something going on between Li Ran and Blazing Volcano.

As a result, this kid didn't seem to want to say it.

"Do you have any more questions?"

Hearing Li Ran's words that seemed to chase him away, Feng Ke smiled and handed over his business card.

"No, this is my business card. If you have any questions, you can come to me."

Feng Ke was quite happy about Li Ran's age. He was happy to have such a young and capable trainer.

"Thank you."

Li Ran didn't want to accept the business card at first, but when he saw the words "Pokemon Association", he followed his heart. Although he was not a competent trainer, he had heard of the Pokemon Association, which was considered the top organization in this society.

"With your ability, you are fully qualified to be an elite trainer."

Before leaving, Feng Ke left a few words, but they went straight into Li Ran's ears and out of his right. What a joke, Uncle Li is an elite trainer, and he was called away as soon as the incident happened.

Only a fool would take the test.

"Hello, it's me. Please help me check for a new trainer named Li Ran who is registered at the Asakusa Research Institute. I'll send it to my email later."

After going out, Feng Ke quickly took out a mobile phone and called his secretary.

......

"Let's go~ Let's go home!"

Li Ran was carrying large and small bags, unable to hide his joy.

"Just go home and take a plane back."

Hong Pang had already talked to his family over the phone. After what had happened, his family was already worried and they didn't dare to let him take the bus home again.

Of course Li Ran took advantage of Hong Pang.

"Yan Yan, fasten your seat belt and stop getting so excited."

This was Li Ran's first time taking a plane in this world. In fact, it was no different from the previous time, but Yanyan was different. She was obviously more excited than them. She looked outside curiously for a long time before fastening her seat belt.

It took several hours to reach the place before, but now it only took less than an hour to return to Fangwen City.

Hong Pang's family's car was already waiting at the airport, and there was someone to help with the luggage. This made Li Ran, who had lived two lives, envious.

After Li Ran returned to the villa and moved all the luggage in, he saw Yanyan standing blankly in front of the calendar, and he was a little confused.

"Yan Yan, why are you standing there like an idiot?"

"Brother, what's the date today?"

Yanyan didn't turn around, but said with some fear.

"No. 29, what's wrong?"

Li Ran walked over. Why did this girl start talking nonsense just after returning home?

"It's over! I haven't finished the summer homework assigned by Teacher Sheng yet!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ran's forgotten memories quickly awakened. Although Yanyan had not officially started school yet, it seemed that she was given some homework when she was taken to register!

But he calmed down soon. It’s not like I didn’t do my homework, so why was I feeling so panicked for no reason?

I am no longer at the age where I could create a miracle every night with a pen.

So Li Ran gave Yanyan a look that said "come on", which made the little girl very angry.

This dog brother.

Yanyan ran upstairs and took out two brand new exercise books from her bag. She had originally planned to do some writing when she had time during the camping.

As a result, I completely forgot about it once I left.

She had no choice but to turn on the light and start writing. During this time, Li Ran's voice was still heard outside the door.

"Write clearly and don't cause trouble for Teacher Sheng."

"..."

She didn't notice that all the energy blocks she had left outside the window sill were still there.

"She's doing her homework, so let's not disturb her. There's still some time before dinner, so come out!"

Li Ran came to the yard. He had not been back for about a month, but a lot of weeds had grown in the yard again, and several of the plants he had planted before had died. This made him very unhappy.

"Okay, get moving. Don't let your body get rusty."

All the elves started pulling out weeds, loosening the soil, catching insects, sowing seeds and watering the plants all in one go. Li Ran's eyes were tired from watching, so he took out a bottle of happy water from the refrigerator and started drinking it.

"You are worthy of being my capable assistant. Come to Lalulasi for a hug."

Li Ran nodded with satisfaction and picked up Lalulas, who was still unfamiliar with the new environment. In Li Ran's arms, Lalulas gradually felt no longer unfamiliar and began to look around with curiosity.

There is still a familiar smell here.

......

"President, the information about Li Ran has been sent to you."

"Well, I see."

Feng Ke picked up the atlas, opened the email sent by his secretary, and clicked on Li Ran's information.

"Asakusa Research Institute's Gosanke Project... Spark Cup champion... Orphan? Adopted a child..."

Feng Ke's expression became solemn. Li Ran had come this far without the support of his family. Either he was far ahead in talent, or he had some other adventure.

However, when he saw the information about Li Ran's Rhodon, he realized that what Li Ran said was true.

"His parents... turned out to be..."

Feng Ke discovered that there was a second page. When he saw the two people displayed on that page, he was stunned for a moment and then all his suspicions about Li Ran disappeared.

On the contrary, I felt a bit of awe.

Father: Li Jianwei

Mother: Wang Lili

(All died in the Battle of the 16th.)

Feng Ke's thoughts suddenly drifted back to that battle, and he took a long time to recover.

That battle had countless casualties, and it was a past event that no one wanted to recall. Who would have thought that Li Ran was actually the descendant of those two...

Li Ran naturally had no way of knowing, because this incident happened when he was three years old, and he had very vague memories of his parents, let alone who they were.

“Finally finished writing!”

After a day and a night, Yanyan finally put down her pen. Fortunately, her homework was not very difficult. Most of it involved copying content about elves and drawing diaries.

For her, who had been traveling for a month, it was easy for her to deal with things like diary keeping.

"Here, I bought this specially to reward you."

Li Ran came up from behind her with a smile and handed over the plate of small desserts. The beautiful appearance and tempting aroma immediately swept away Yanyan's fatigue.

It turns out that there is truth in the saying "bitter before sweet", these desserts feel sweeter and more delicious than usual.

"Hey, Pachirisu hasn't come these days?"

Li Ran noticed the full array of energy cubes and said.

Yanyan had her mouth full of cream, and then she looked at the place where she had placed the energy block before she left, and it was still intact.

"Maybe it doesn't like me anymore, so it doesn't come anymore."

Yanyan suddenly became sad, and Li Ran comforted her. He didn't think that Pachilis would dislike Yanyan.

There's no way that greedy little squirrel wouldn't be tempted by these energy cubes.

The fact that he hadn't eaten a single one was enough to prove that Pachirisu hadn't been here since the day they set out on their journey.

In order to prevent Yanyan from worrying, Li Ran still spoke.

"Don't worry, Yanyan. Maybe it has no worries about food recently. I'll help you find it tomorrow when you go to school. Maybe it's having a great time somewhere."

It's dark now and it's not easy to look for her. Besides, Yanyan has been busy with her homework these two days and school has to start tomorrow.

It is still necessary to focus on rest. Although Yanyan nodded obediently, the worry in her eyes did not diminish.

"There's a place near here where Pachirisu might live..."

After saying good night to each other, Li Ran lay down on the bed and started to think. There were almost no residential areas near them, and there were only one or two places where wild Pokémons might appear.
