After abandoning the respectful title of "Mr." and switching to the more intimate "Onii-chan," Lisia looked up and called out prettily, then lightly grasped the corner of his clothes, following closely behind him without moving an inch.
Feeling Lisia's subconscious intimate gesture, Hakuya couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation in his heart.
Although they were both pure and lively young girls, the feelings they gave off were completely different.
Dawn was outwardly lively and cheerful, occasionally a bit carefree, but secretly soft and clingy like a kitten, creating an overwhelming contrast.
The empathy sisters, May and Sapphire, looked almost identical, but their personalities were vastly different—the former was warm and sincere like summer honey, while the latter was independent and cool like autumn fruit.
As for Lisia, she was like the most vibrant little bird on a branch in late spring.
After chattering all the way, Hakuya finally brought this idol girl to their destination.
"Wow~ What a beautiful cafe!"
Lisia clasped her hands in front of her chest, stopping to marvel at the pink-themed building before her.
It was evening, and the fiber optic light strips decorating the exterior of the building happened to start working.
—Warm pink, light purple, and peach-colored soft lights lit up successively, like a string of crushed pink stars falling on the building's outline. If Lisia hadn't seen the "Fairy Whisper Cafe" sign, she would have thought it was some large idol venue.
"This is it; let's go in together~"
"O-Okay, wait for me, Brother Hakuya!"
Falling behind and watching Hakuya's back as he walked forward, Lisia lifted her skirt and trotted to catch up, the hair accessories in her hair shaking off fragments of light, even her ear tips dyed with anxious thin pink.
And the moment Hakuya pushed open the door with Lisia, the female Trainers who were originally sitting around tables having tea parties in twos and threes all turned their heads, casting their gazes over in unison.
Logically speaking, this cafe generally declined male guests, so the first thought that popped into everyone's mind was to send the guest away.
But after seeing the visitor's face clearly, the cafe first fell into a brief silence, then erupted with bursts of exclamations and welcome sounds like a stone thrown into a lake.
"Eh~ It's Lord Hakuya!"
"Walking this way... whoa... really so handsome!"
"Coming to find Lord Valerie, right? A talented man and a beautiful woman are really a match... wait... who is that green-haired little sister grasping Lord Hakuya's clothes corner beside him..."
Some peeked half a face from behind the bar, spring eyes condensing with peach hearts; some excitedly bounced up from the soft chair cushion regardless of the steaming coffee in hand; some fanned lightly covering blushing cheeks, murmuring like nymphos... The enthusiasm of the cheers and the warmth of the behavior almost startled the accompanying Lisia girl.
"Is Brother Hakuya so popular here too?"
Lisia looked up slightly, lifting her beautiful eyes doubtfully.
"Probably... because I happen to be quite familiar with the owner of this cafe, and once had a battle here?"
Regarding this scene no different from fanatical fans chasing stars, Hakuya shrugged helplessly.
Outstanding appearance and temperament, plus a battle performance defeating Valerie with an absolute crushing posture once, gaining some fans was reasonable, just even he didn't expect these guests would be enthusiastic to this extent.
"Mmm... so that's it."
Lisia nodded thoughtfully.
Watching everyone's gazes focus on Hakuya hotly like torches, she first felt a burst of pride in her heart.
—The girls' irrepressible joy, the mature sisters' lazy charming low murmurs, the mature women's unwavering gazes, all erupted suddenly the moment they saw Hakuya. While fully displaying Hakuya's charm, it also gave Lisia accompanying him a feeling of sharing the honor.
However, when that sense of pride and superiority subsided slightly, Lisia somehow felt her heart tighten suddenly.
These women were simply too enthusiastic, as if they would swarm up in the next second if she wasn't careful, snatching Hakuya away from her side... The Lisia girl, with possessiveness sprouting, no longer just grasped the clothes corner, but instinctively leaned closer, carefully and secretly holding one of Hakuya's fingers with her hand.
Just this action made Lisia's pretty face fly two touches of rosy clouds.
And just as Hakuya felt the soft glutinous touch from the girl's small hand transmitted from his fingertip, secretly amused and preparing to hold it completely, an enchanting soft charming female voice came from the front.
"Long time no see, Hakuya."
This Fairy mature sister was still in the previous attire.
A magnificent dress like a butterfly wrapped around her jade-soft delicate body. High platform shoes sounded thump-thump-thump with her elegant steps. Valerie stepped forward slowly, the corner of her full lips hanging a trace of soft charming seductive faint smile.
"Originally wanted to send a message telling you the clothes are customized, can come over to try and drink a cup of coffee conveniently, but didn't expect... we have such telepathy~"
"Ah..." Hakuya scratched his head, smiling in response, "Actually I just remembered this matter after finishing work... After shooting the promotional video requested by Wallace, calculating time, I should almost go back to Hinata Town."
"So soon?"
Valerie froze slightly, then her gaze inadvertently swept over Lisia's small hand carefully holding Hakuya's finger.
Same heart tightening, and full possessiveness also surged up completely occupying the heart at this moment.
However, being a mature mature sister after all, her enchanting pretty face still didn't show any strangeness.
"Since Hakuya is in a hurry, then quickly follow this concubine to the changing room~"
"Okay." Hakuya nodded, turning his head to look at the Lisia girl beside him, "Lisia, you sit outside for a while first; I'll come out very quickly later."
"Okay, Brother Hakuya."
While agreeing obediently, Lisia blushed and released Hakuya's finger, tilting her head doubtfully again.
Why feel this Miss Valerie has a feeling of impatiently wanting to eat Brother Hakuya?
The pure girl was just experiencing first awakening of love currently, completely unable to guess this nympho fairy's little thoughts at this time. Plus the fashion designer taking the customer to the changing room to try clothes alone, she couldn't say anything about this.
Couldn't possibly break in like a nympho, right?
"Hush~"
Taking Hakuya into the changing room, Valerie turned around and locked the door cleanly.
Then, with an impatient look on her face, her black silk soft hand poking out from the butterfly sleeve cuff pressed Hakuya against the wall.
Hakuya: "???"
No?
He still underestimated this Miss Fairy's nympho degree—
Relying on her home field advantage, planning to do whatever she wants here, right?
Outside the changing room at this time, Lisia, Linnea, and others were completely unaware of what happened inside.
Taking the coffee handed by the long-sleeved kimono mature sister, Lisia took a sip, then listening to their introduction and narration, couldn't help widening her eyes in surprise.
"Eh? So Miss Valerie is not only a very famous fashion designer but also a Gym Leader in the Kalos region?"
"Yes oh~ Last time Lord Valerie also had a fierce battle with Lord Hakuya here..." Linnea nodded, a look of reverence appearing in her beautiful eyes involuntarily, "Speaking of this, Lord Hakuya's Pokémon strength and superb command scared everyone present at that time~"
"Not only suppressing Lord Valerie with Gym-level strength lightly throughout the process, but finally making a command to break the Trick Room creatively, indeed very handsome..."
Kali took over the conversation, holding hands lightly in front of her chest, eyes alsoing with little stars of worship.
Just as they were still leisurely sipping coffee and chatting, a strange commotion suddenly came from not far away.
Just now, a Pokémon ran into the cafe at some unknown time.
A pale blue neck ring surrounded its neck. Pink bulbous nose sniffed lightly. This Pokémon looking like a blue sea lion jumped onto the bar happily, hugging the microphone.
Under the spotlight, its petite and cute appearance also attracted everyone's attention present at once.
"Eh? It's Popplio~"
Lisia put down the steaming coffee, looking up and recognizing the little guy's name at a glance.
