In the most luxurious hotel on Lily of the Valley Island.
Erina carefully cleaned her body, ensuring not a single flaw remained.
Part of the reason was that a young girl always wants to present her best side to her partner.
Secondly, the competitive environment around Lott was just too fierce.
She didn't want Lott to find a stray hair or two under her arm during their intimate moments... that would ruin the experience.
Knock knock~
A knocking sound suddenly came from the door, followed by the voice of her cousin, Alice:
"Erina, are you there?"
After simply changing into pajamas and wrapping her wet, long hair in a towel, Erina half-turned her head and said:
"Blissey, please get the door."
While having her Pokémon open the door, Erina was also a little curious inside.
After all, since the Kuku Kuku no Mi was assigned to her by her grandfather, Alice had never initiated a conversation with her.
Wait, no, more accurately, the two of them barely spoke at all.
The door was opened by Blissey. Seeing the Blissey that opened the door for her, the Combee flying around, the Miltank lying on the carpet, and other Pokémon.
A flicker of resentment passed through Alice's eyes, but it was hidden the next second.
"Alice, what is it?"
Erina walked up and asked.
"The honey and milk you gave me before were quite good. If we market them as products of our Nakiri Group on Planet Terra, they'll definitely be a huge hit. I hope you can negotiate with the people here to provide us with Pokémon that can produce agricultural products in large quantities, which we can take to Planet Terra to raise."
Alice tried her best to speak in a calm tone.
The honey produced by Combee, the MooMoo Milk produced by Miltank, and other ingredients, though mostly used by Erina for cooking for Lott, she often asked her former secretary, Arato Hisako, to deliver a portion to Alice.
It was a meager compensation to the other girl.
"But you're the headmaster of Totsuki now."
Erina felt Alice's idea made sense, but shouldn't this kind of thing be handled by Alice, the true heir?
"I don't know many people here. You've been here playing with Lott for over a month, so you must know quite a few important figures, right?"
Alice said flatly.
"Uh... O-Okay, I'll go tomorrow..."
"We're going back tomorrow, there's no time then?"
Alice bluntly interrupted her cousin.
"Uh... O-Okay, I'll go now."
Erina thought it made sense and hurried into the room to blow-dry her hair and change into formal attire.
After sending Lott a private message saying 'I'll be late', she quickly left.
However, she completely failed to notice the 'According To Keikaku' smile, identical to Yagami Light's, on Alice's face as she went out.
Clearly, Erina still lacked life experience.
Whether Alice had connections or not for doing business on the Planet Pokémon wasn't a problem at all…
She just needed to say 'I'm Lott's sister-in-law' in the group chat, and companies like Silph Co., Devon Corporation, and the Aether Foundation would be kneeling, begging for cooperation.
…
Another room.
Lott, lying down and petting the pink-haired cat, suddenly heard the door open.
Thinking it was Erina, he couldn't help but say:
"That was fast?"
He had received Erina's 'I'll be late' private message just five minutes ago.
He thought he'd have to wait at least half an hour.
Just as he heard footsteps, the lights went out.
At this point, Lott still didn't find it strange.
Erina, with her tsundere, shy personality, always turned off the lights.
This was the opposite of Nino.
Nino preferred watching Lott during the act.
Especially when he was in his Super Saiyan form.
So it's not just guys who have uniform fetishes… girls do too.
Immediately after, Lott felt a warm body throw itself into his arms.
Then his mouth was blocked... Something's wrong!
Now Lott realized-
He knew the tsundere Erina would absolutely never be this proactive.
Lott used his energy sensing slightly...
A full minute later, this clearly clumsy and inexperienced girl finally let go of Lott because she didn't know how to breathe properly.
Lott reached out a hand and turned on the bedside lamp.
"Little sister, what are you doing?"
Lott rarely showed a baffled expression.
"Stop talking! Are you going to eat the cooked dish or not? Don't be like those impotent male protagonists in some novels who find every way possible to avoid taking the meat! Can you act like a man!?"
Alice sat on Lott's abdomen, grabbing his collar with both hands threateningly.
Her ferocious look made it seem less like she was here for fun and more like she was here for revenge.
Erina's usual way to relax was reading Shoujo manga.
After Alice became the headmaster of Totsuki, she read novels.
But those novels really pissed off even a girl like Alice.
Often, the female characters made their intentions perfectly clear, so why did the male protagonists always find ways to avoid taking the opportunity?
She really didn't get it.
Hearing this from his sister-in-law, Lott was utterly stunned.
In the twenty years since he crossed over, this was truly the first time someone had told him he didn't act like a man.
'Well done, woman... no, girl, you've successfully caught my attention.'
'From now on, you are no longer a 'girl'.'
…
It had to be said, Alice really did seem like she came for revenge against Lott.
Although she started off crying for her parents, once she got used to it, she even tried to counter-attack.
Lott thought Nino was fierce enough, but Alice was even more so.
However, during the engagement, Lott more or less figured out Alice's thoughts.
"You're using this method to get back at Erina?"
Lott asked after washing his face and coming out of the bathroom.
He had to wash up, as Alice had even sat on his face earlier.
It's so daring!
"What? Think I used you? Want to kill me~"
Alice said weakly.
No matter how high her morale was, her physical stamina was only so much. Lasting this long was already a miracle.
"Don't be ridiculous. Do you see me as a murderous maniac? Besides, I got the better end of the deal..."
Lott wouldn't spout nonsense like 'Our feelings haven't developed enough, doing this isn't right'.
When he read novels with such plots in his previous life, Lott always felt like giving the author a couple of good punches.
"Strange, it's been over an hour. Why hasn't Erina come yet..."
Alice struggled to prop herself up, glanced at the time, and said somewhat regretfully.
Her original plan was for Erina to finish her business negotiations and walk in right in the middle of her and Lott's engagement.
Well, Alice got this inspiration from a novel she recently read.
Of course, it wasn't a proper novel.
But unfortunately, Erina's business negotiations took longer than she imagined.
The plan didn't reach its most perfect stage.
Coincidentally, Lott received another private message from Erina at that moment:
[Sorry, I need to go to the Moomoo Milk's headquarters in Goldenrod City, Johto, to discuss the contract. I'll make it up to you tomorrow night, okay?]
Not bothering to pretend to be shy, Alice, who had her arms hooked around Lott's neck, saw the private message content and first let out an annoyed 'Tch'.
Then her eyes started darting around schemingly.
'What evil plan are you hatching now?'
Lott had a bad feeling in his heart.
