How can I be a trainer when my girlfriend is so cute?

Chapter 187 Titanium Crystal Cuisine

"I'm so hungry after a morning of work. Can you two have a meal with me?" Before they knew it, it was already noon. After a morning of fighting, Qingmu sat down opposite Fang Ci and the others like a zombie.

"Of course!" After waiting for such a long time, the two had almost digested what they had eaten in the morning. It was time for lunch, and their stomachs began to growl again as they smelled the aroma of food in the air.

"Please give me an ordinary mustard rice ball like mine." Seeing Aoki sitting down, the waiter who had been waiting for a long time immediately came over with the menu. Aoki took the menu and handed it to Fang Ci and Qishu without even looking at it, while not forgetting to say to the waiter.

"Okay, one serving of wasabi rice balls! Take a look at what you two need." After writing down Aoki's wasabi rice ball in the small notebook he carried with him, the waiter smiled and looked at Fang Ci and the other person on the other side of the table.

"Then I want a grilled rice ball and a bowl of red bean soup!" Qishu took a quick look at the wide variety of dishes on the menu and quickly found a set meal that was highly recommended online.

"Then give me a bowl of clear soup soba noodles, and an omelette." Fang Ci soon finished ordering.

"Okay, please wait a moment!" After taking down the orders of the three people, the waiter smiled and left in a hurry.

"Oh, sitting here leisurely waiting for the delicious food to be served, this is probably the most pleasant moment of my day!" After ordering the dishes, Aoki knelt loosely on the mat and sighed sincerely.

"Mr. Aoki has worked so hard." Thinking of Aoki's non-stop fighting for several hours this morning, Fang Ci and Qishu looked at him with eyes full of respect.

"My only hope now is that you young people will grow up and help me share some of the burden."

"We will work hard!"

"By the way, Mr. Aoki, why did you call me here?" Before the dishes were served, Fang Ci asked the question that concerned him most.

"Do you know what's special about this treasure restaurant besides the food?" Qingmu did not directly answer Fang Ci's question, but asked back.

"this..."

Just as Fang Ci was trying to think about Qing Mu's question, Qi Shu's eyes suddenly lit up and he raised his hand excitedly and answered, "I know that there are dishes in the Pokémon Canteen that can help Pokémon change their titanium crystal attributes. My Dream Monster ate the electric-attribute titanium crystal dishes here and its titanium crystal attribute changed to electric!"

"Change the properties of titanium crystal? It sounds very similar to Gigantamax soup!"

Fang Ci's eyes immediately lit up when he heard about this kind of food for the first time. You know, wild elves in the wild, except for a few special individuals, can only use Titanium Crystal's own attributes, and those elves with two attributes will generally randomly choose one of their two attributes. Although Titanium Crystal's own attributes can enjoy more bonuses, for some elves, Titanium Crystal's other attributes will be better for joint defense or expanding the attack surface.

For example, Fang Ci's Ai Guan Shi, although he originally has a general psychic attribute, but after being transformed into a fairy attribute by titanium crystal, he can resist his original weaknesses, the evil and insect-type moves, to achieve a surprise victory.

Speaking of this, Fang Ci couldn't help but admire the wealth of the Elf Center. Even if they were not trained as combat elves, they still changed the most suitable titanium crystal attributes for each elf. It was for this reason that among all the elves Fang Ci had now, only Ai Guanshi's titanium crystal attributes were beyond his own attributes.

"Giant soup, I've heard of it too, but I've never had the chance to try it because I've been too busy with work." Just as Fang Ci was attracted by the magical titanium crystal cuisine, Aoki also began to fantasize about the gigantic soup that he had only heard of but never seen or tasted.

"When I was on Kai Island, I learned how to make the Gigantamax Soup from my master's wife. If Mr. Aoki doesn't mind, I can ask my brothers on the island to mail the raw material, the Gigantamax mushrooms, and make it myself for you to try." Upon hearing this, Fang Ci took the initiative to say.

"Forget it. There are still many delicious foods in this world that I haven't tasted. I'd better save this kind of expectation and surprise for after I retire."

What Fang Ci didn't expect was that Qingmu rejected him without hesitation.

"Let's talk about the dishes that change the properties of titanium crystals. This time, in order to commend the contribution made by your group, the Ancient Sword Leopard, the president specifically asked me to provide each of your elves with a free opportunity to change the properties of titanium crystals. The required money and titanium crystal fragments will all be borne by the alliance. It seems that the president really thinks highly of you. This is the first time I've seen her be so generous." Aoki couldn't help but sigh again.

"Okay, just fill out this form, and I will prepare the rest!" Qingmu took out a form and a pen from the inner pocket of his suit and gently placed them in front of Fang Ci, saying softly.

"Ok!"

Seeing this, Fang Ci immediately took the paper and pen excitedly, lowered his head and started discussing enthusiastically with Qi Shu in a low voice.

Just as the two were discussing, the waiter slowly came over with the food ordered by the three.

"Okay, there's no rush for this. After all, this is a rare opportunity. You can think about it carefully when you get back and ask for the elves' opinions. It won't be too late to hand the form to me in two days. Now, you should concentrate on the food in the Treasure Cafeteria, otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ci quickly put away the form. Just as Qingmu said, this opportunity was rare, so he had to go back and think about it carefully.

After putting away the paper and pen, the three of them were instantly attracted by the delicious food in front of them and immersed in it without saying a word.

The cafeteria was bustling with people. Guests sat around the dining table, some whispering, some talking and laughing loudly. Children were chasing and playing in the corner, laughing one after another. The waiters were busy shuttling between the tables and chairs, carrying trays and delivering delicious dishes to the guests.

After finishing the last piece of rice ball in the bowl, Aoki stood up, stretched and said, "The best time of the day has ended. Next is work time again."

Seeing Qingmu standing up, Fang Ci immediately drank up the last remaining noodle soup in the bowl and stood up and said: "Mr. Qingmu..."

"Okay, let me pay for this time. As an adult, there is no way for me to let you two children pay for it." As if he had sensed what Fang Ci wanted to say, Qingmu gently waved his hand and motioned him to sit down.

"But..." Fang Ci wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Qing Mu again. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I have a reason to ask the president to reimburse me for the money I paid for you~"

At this point, Aoki showed a rare smile on his face.

"You two can enjoy your meal here. I have to go back to the gym to prepare some Pokémon for work this afternoon."

After a whole morning of fighting, the elves in Aoki's body were already very tired.

"Oh, I almost forgot about this. I'll give it to you sooner or later anyway, so I won't delay." Seeing that Fang Ci had nothing to say, Qingmu, who had already turned around, seemed to suddenly think of something. He took out a round badge from his pocket and gently placed it on the table in front of Fang Ci.

"Mr. Aoki, this is against the rules." Looking at the familiar badge on the table, Fang Ci hurriedly stopped Aoki who was about to turn around and leave.

Hearing this, Qingmu turned around and smiled at Fang Ci, saying, "There's nothing against the rules. You don't need to prove your strength with a gym battle. Just assume that we've already had the gym test during our meal."

"But..." Fang Ci was still a little hesitant.

"Look, I'm already fully booked with challengers for the day, so don't add to my workload. If you really want to fight me, then wait until the challenge league comes and fight me, the king, with all your might!"

After saying that, Aoki left Bao Canteen without looking back.

"Mr. Aoki is such an interesting person!" Qi Shu, with his mouth full, couldn't help but sigh as he watched Aoki leave.

"Yeah~" Fang Ci picked up the badge on the table and put it in his badge box. He had already accepted the reason given by Aoki.

Since Mr. Aoki will definitely not use his full strength during the gym battle, why not wait until the King of Kings battle and then fight with all his might!

......

When the two of them walked out of the Treasure Cafeteria after eating and drinking, the trainers waiting to challenge the gym had already lined up outside. The lively scene made Qi Shu sigh with admiration.

"I thought I was busy enough at work every day, but now it seems like nothing compared to Mr. Aoki!"

"I don't want you to become so busy." Holding Qishu's delicate little hand, Fang Ci suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

"Don't worry, our Niangguang Gym limits the number of people who challenge it every day." Seeing what Fang Ci was worried about, Qi Shu patted the back of his hand in relief.

"That's good, but why doesn't Mr. Aoki limit the number of challengers like you do?" Fang Ci asked with some confusion.

"I don't know, but I heard from my dad that although Mr. Aoki likes to complain, he doesn't want to stop for a moment when it comes to working." Qi Shu remembered Qi Rong's evaluation of Aoki. As a trainer of the same generation, his words were still very convincing.

"Oh, after watching the battle for so long, I'm starting to feel itchy inside." Although Qishu had complained to Fang Ci many times before about how tiring it was to be a gym leader, she really liked the job of gym leader. After leaving the gym for so many days and not having a proper battle, Qishu couldn't help but feel itchy.

"Okay, it's decided. Let's have a fight after dinner to help digest the food!" Qishu thought of one thing after another, and after making up his mind, he immediately started looking for an opponent.

"Hello, are you Qishu and Fang Ci?" Before Qishu found the target, the target found him.

"We are!" Although they were not wearing their signature outfits during live broadcasts, for most fans, Qishu's cute little face is the most iconic feature, so the two have long been accustomed to being recognized by fans when walking on the street.

"That's great. I'm your fan, Qishu. I went to the Niangguang Gym some time ago to challenge you, only to find out you weren't there!" Looking at Qishu's little face, which was even more delicate and lovely than in front of the camera, the girl opposite her who claimed to be her fan, with black shawl hair and wearing the Orange Academy uniform, immediately jumped up excitedly.

"Shh, please keep your voice down. We're just out here to play and don't want to attract too much attention." Seeing that the girl's voice was unconsciously a little excited, Qi Shulima pulled her and looked around carefully. He was relieved when he saw that no one else noticed the movement here.

"Okay, okay, Miss Qishu, can you fight with me once?" Seeing Qishu's actions, the girl immediately lowered her voice and asked excitedly.

"Of course!" When he was really sleepy, someone came to bring him a pillow, and Qishu agreed immediately.

"Great, thank you Miss Qishu. By the way, my name is Yuemei, and I'm a student at Orange College!"

"Okay, Yuemei! Let's find a place with fewer people to fight!" Qishu, who hadn't fought for a long time, was already itching to fight.

Finally, the three of them successfully found a large enough space behind a small house at the edge of the circle.

"It's decided to be you, Diremeow!"

"You must cherish this opportunity to fight against Miss Qishu. Go ahead, Dolimia!"

After standing still in the corresponding positions, they both threw the Poké Balls in their hands at the same time. With a flash of red light, a cat and a dog appeared on the grass.

"Dorimia?" Seeing an elf he had never seen before, Qishu opened the illustration out of curiosity.

"Dorimia is a poodle Pokémon with normal attributes. In the Kalos region in the distant past, Dorimia was a Pokémon that was given the duty of protecting the king. There was a time when nobles would compete to see how to trim its fur beautifully. If the shaggy fur is trimmed well, not only will the appearance become more beautiful, but the body will also become more agile. If left alone, the fur will continue to grow, but it will only allow people it trusts to trim it."

"Wow, what a beautiful elf. But why didn't you give Dolymia different styles, Yuemei?" Looking at the various styles of Dolymia in the illustration book, Qishu looked at the big dog opposite who still had a wild hairstyle with some confusion. If it were her, she would have wanted to change Dolymia's style every day.

Upon hearing Qi Shu's question, Yue Mei's face immediately drooped and she said, "Dorimia came here from Kalos with me to study abroad. We did have a very nice hairstyle before coming here, but there is no stylist in Padia who can maintain Dorimia's hairstyle. Over time, she became like this."

"Wow, Yuemei, you are from the Kalos area? I have never been to Kalos!" When Qishu heard that Yuemei was from Kalos, he immediately became excited.

"Summer vacation is just half a month away. If you have time, Qishu, I can be your tour guide and take you on a good trip around the Kalos area!" Yuemei said excitedly upon hearing her idol say this.

"Brother~"

After hearing Yuemei's words, Qishu did not give an immediate reply, but looked at Fang Ci who was standing beside him with his big watery eyes.
