“Meei~~~”
Dratini’s eyes lit up; these noodles were much more delicious than last night’s.
The sound was almost like a moan.
“Eh~”
Kain narrowed his eyes as he watched Little One’s body begin to turn pink.
“Meei~ Mini~ Mini~”
Dratini also noticed the change in its body, looking in surprise at its body turning pink.
This is so strange~
But it also looks quite pretty.
Dratini chased after its tail, flying quickly in circles.
But soon, the pink color faded away from its body.
“Meei~”
Dratini stopped its tail-chasing head, lifting it in confusion.
Why had it turned back to normal?
“How cute.”
Looking at Dratini’s appearance, Kain couldn’t help but say.
If he didn’t still need to feed Dratini, he definitely would have wanted to hold it in his arms.
“Little One, come on, keep eating.”
Kain called out to Dratini.
Seeming to realize something, Dratini quickly came over to eat the noodles Kain picked up with chopsticks.
The next moment, its body turned pink again.
“Mini~ Mini~ Mini~”
Dratini’s joyful voice rang out.
Next, it was as if they fell into a cycle: Kain fed Dratini a bite of noodles, it would happily cry out a few times, and after the color faded, it would watch Kain and continue eating.
After repeating this a dozen or so times, the noodle soup was completely drunk by Dratini.
Then came the fruit juice it liked.
As soon as the purple fruit juice went down its stomach, Dratini felt that a Pokémon’s life could be this fulfilling.
Having eaten its fill, Dratini coiled back around Kain’s body, resting its head on Kain’s shoulder.
It was stuffed and needed to digest.
“Little One, do you still want some?”
Kain picked up noodles from his own bowl to tempt Dratini.
However, although there was temptation in its eyes, its stomach told it that it couldn’t eat anymore.
“Mini~”
Dratini turned its head away, not wanting to look at Kain’s face.
This person was so bad for tempting it when he clearly knew it couldn’t eat any more.
Bad guy…
Forget it, it might as well give the very fragrant Trainer a chance.
It certainly wasn’t trying to look at the Trainer the whole time.
No, definitely not!
Slurp!
Slurp!
Kain quickly slurped down the noodles, finishing them in a few bites, and then turned to the Berry in the bowl.
He ate the red and blue ones first.
The remaining light blue and purple Berry were also slowly eaten into his mouth.
“Mmm~~”
Kain wore a refreshed expression.
This was different from what he had imagined; the light blue Berry gave a refreshing feeling, as if he had grown wings and was soaring carefree through the sky.
The purple Berry also gave him a different feeling—sweet and sour, making him feel like an expert of the world.
“Hoo~”
“It seems it was my preconceived notion thinking that darker colors meant bad quality. This is my problem.”
Kain deeply reflected on himself.
He was still judging people by their appearance—no, judging a Berry by its appearance.
Since that was the case, could he also eat the other dozen or so kinds of Berry?
That was great!
If they all had different flavors, that would be wonderful.
Then no matter how long he ate them, he wouldn’t get tired of them.
Quickly finishing everything and washing the bowls, chopsticks, and basins,
Kain energetically found Gyarados in the lake.
“Big guy, let’s go. Starting today, I’m going to exercise hard, train until I can fight those magical creatures, and not become a burden to you all.”
“Roar~”
Gyarados flew out of the lake, its nearly ten-meter-long red body shining brilliantly in the sunlight from the flash of its scales.
“You also think what I’m doing is right, right?”
Kain said happily.
Anyway, after yesterday’s attack, he had already decided that he must make himself stronger.
That way, yesterday’s events wouldn’t happen again.
Moreover, people in this world must surely be able to fight these creatures.
Only in this way could one have companions of their own, unlike him, who could only use food to tempt them.
But this method was also quite good; at least he didn’t have to fight to the death right from the start.
Someone like him without any strength could only use this method.
“Mini~”
Dratini’s urging voice pulled Kain back from his thoughts.
“Sorry, I thought too much. Let’s go now, to exercise our bodies. If you guys want to, you can join in too.”
Kain extended an invitation to them.
They should also be able to exercise and get stronger, or fight alongside other creatures to become even stronger.
He had also read some beast-taming novels where fighting each other made them stronger; he even vaguely remembered someone saying something to him before.
They even strongly recommended him to watch a certain anime, but he didn’t seem to watch it.
When he was young, his family was poor, so he could only play outside casually.
After growing up and having money, he could no longer find the feeling he wanted when he was young.
He was always busy amidst the city’s lights, going to work every day, then getting off work to rest and do his own things, rarely having such opportunities anymore.
“Mini~”
Dratini and Gyarados exchanged a glance and then intended to follow Kain.
Growing stronger also required training, such as battling other Pokémon and eating energy-rich items like the Berry kept by the Trainer.
Eating them provided a powerful Help.
“Alright, let’s go together.”
Kain waved his hand.
Dratini coiled around smoothly, while Gyarados floated and followed behind Kain.
Walking out of the manor gate, the traces of yesterday’s battle destruction were still there.
Looking at these marks, Kain’s resolve to exercise and become stronger deepened even more.
“Step one: run three laps around this island.”
Kain pointed at the cloudless sky and said.
“Mini~”
“Roar~”
Dratini and Gyarados cheered Kain on.
The Trainer could definitely do it and become stronger.
After one lap, Kain looked at his reflection in the sea.
He had run a full lap around, yet didn’t even sweat a single drop—this was truly too strange.
Given his usual condition, running this far would have long left him exhausted, gasping for breath.
How could he possibly be like this right now, looking completely relaxed without a single drop of sweat?
“Could it be that after coming to this world, my physical fitness has become stronger?”
Kain touched his chin and guessed.
It was very likely.
No wonder he didn’t feel much change.
Since that was the case, he would increase his training volume.
Without any nonsense, Kain sped up his running pace and sprinted with all his might.
This time, he wanted to test how many laps around the island his full-strength self could run.
With the sun hanging high overhead, Kain had become drenched in sweat, his sweat drenching his body.
“Hah~ Hah~”
Kain half-squatted, supporting himself with both arms.
“So strange, could it be that the human constitution in this world is all this strong?”
