Chapter 66: Are You the Housekeeping Fairy?
After Chikorita got acquainted with everyone, Bai Feng followed Helioptile to see Buneary.
Thanks to Helioptile's careful attention, Buneary's Injuries had basically recovered, and it could hop and jump.
After seeing Buneary, Bai Feng came out of Helioptile's Room. Seeing Helioptile following closely behind him, he asked in confusion:
"Helioptile, is there something you want to tell me?"
Hearing this, Helioptile looked hesitant and shy, wanting to speak but feeling a bit embarrassed, completely Different from its usual self.
Helioptile had a straightforward Personality, and Bai Feng rarely saw it like this. He couldn't help but feel curious about what it wanted to say to him.
"What are you shy about with me?" Bai Feng patted its Head and said, "If you don't say it soon, I'm leaving!" After speaking, he made a Stance as if to leave.
"Ai bi~ Ai bi~" That... that... I have something I want to ask you...
Helioptile immediately panicked upon hearing this and quickly called out to stop Bai Feng.
"Go ahead, I'm listening!" Bai Feng nodded.
So Helioptile stammered out its Request.
Bai Feng wasn't surprised after hearing it. Looking as if he had seen right through Helioptile all along, he said, "Oh, so it's about this~" He drew out the end of his sentence, his voice full of teasing towards Helioptile.
It turned out Helioptile's Request was hoping Bai Feng would let Buneary stay at Fang Xing Mountain. It was just afraid of causing trouble for Bai Feng, which was why it had been hesitant to speak up.
Seeing that Buneary's Injuries had recovered and there was no need to stay and recuperate anymore, it finally couldn't sit still and ran to find Bai Feng.
But in reality, this matter was just a trivial thing for Bai Feng. His Orchard already employed so many Pokémon, what was the harm in adding one more Buneary?
"Ai bi~ Ai bi~" Buneary can work, it's very diligent...
Seeing that Bai Feng didn't continue speaking, Helioptile thought he wouldn't agree, so it anxiously listed Buneary's Advantages.
"Hahahaha..." Bai Feng saw it scratching its ears and cheeks in anxiety and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Finally, he stopped teasing it. "Alright, it's just about letting Buneary stay, right? I agree. The Orchard happens to be short on Hands right now."
"Ai bi~ Ai bi~"
Realizing belatedly that it had been tricked by Bai Feng, Helioptile puffed up its little cheeks in anger, scurried up onto Bai Feng's shoulder, and then pulled his Hair to vent its frustration. In no time, Bai Feng's Head looked like a Chicken's nest.
Bai Feng reached out and hugged it down from his shoulder, pleading, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again. You should quickly go and tell your Little Friends the News."
Helioptile glared at Bai Feng, then quickly jumped out of his arms and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After learning that Bai Feng had agreed to let it stay, Buneary was equally excited and vowed to repay Bai Feng properly in the future.
After Helioptile's description, Buneary had long yearned for Fang Xing Mountain and never expected that it would actually have a day to join. For a while, it hopped, jumped, shouted, and yelled with Helioptile in the Room.
After learning that Helioptile had pleaded on its behalf, Buneary was even more grateful to Helioptile. It hugged Helioptile and rubbed against it affectionately for a while, making Helioptile shy.
Before Dinner, Bai Feng went to see the Flabébé again. He showed great care for them in his words but didn't disturb them excessively, which made the Flabébé's favorable impression of him increase greatly once more.
Looking at the remaining Fruit Pits in the Flabébé's Room, the Computer playing a Movie, the Toys scattered nearby, the unfinished Snack... Bai Feng smiled with satisfaction.
Everyone is really capable!
Because he was in a good mood, Bai Feng rarely called all the Employees into his Home that evening. He personally cooked them a hearty Dinner and officially introduced Buneary, who would be staying to work at Fang Xing Mountain, to everyone.
After Dinner, Bai Feng gave everyone a Massage one by one. Now with Psychic assistance, Bai Feng could give Massages to multiple Pokémon simultaneously, so it didn't take much Time at all to finish this time.
Buneary and Chikorita were both getting a Massage for the first time. Their reactions were the same as Primarina and the others back then; they simply couldn't resist the refreshing feeling of the Massage that made their bodies go soft and feel completely comfortable.
Even Purrloin, which was initially skeptical about the Massage, completely cast aside its previous thoughts after enjoying it a few more times.
There was no helping it, it was too good. Getting a Massage could make one forget all worries.
After spending some Time with the Pokémon on the Mountain Top, Gastly, Misdreavus, and Litwick, these three Pokémon, finally stopped being constantly anxious. They could now calmly stay with everyone, and this time, they also experienced a Massage with a peaceful mindset.
After feeling refreshed, everyone dispersed.
Because he had cooked too many Dishes that evening, Bai Feng was a bit tired. So after everyone left, he didn't really clean up the remaining Leftovers and Pots and Pans, planning to deal with them the next morning. He then went to bed early.
Children who don't get enough sleep won't grow tall.
Perhaps because he went to bed early last night, Bai Feng woke up early the next day. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he walked out of his Room. As he passed by the Restaurant, he was surprised to find that the mess on the table from last night was gone.
He thought he was seeing things and rubbed his eyes again, only to find that he hadn't seen wrong.
"Who got up so early to clean?" Bai Feng muttered softly, feeling a bit incredulous. His Mom wasn't exactly diligent; she definitely needed to sleep in in the morning and wouldn't easily get up too early.
Then Bai Feng noticed the Difference in the Home. Not only was the Restaurant cleaned spotlessly, but the Pots and Pans in the Kitchen were also washed sparkling clean and even neatly placed in the Cabinet.
And the Living Room, the tables and Chairs were neatly arranged and wiped sparkling clean, the floor was swept spotless, and everything was organized perfectly.
Bai Feng looked around the Home in disbelief, thinking: Did a Housekeeping Fairy come to my Home?
Just as Bai Feng couldn't help but get lost in thought, a voice pulled him out of his fantasy.
"Mii ru~ Mii ru~" Boss, you're awake!
Bai Feng turned around and saw Buneary standing timidly behind him, wearing a small Apron and holding a small Duster in its hand.
The Apron was simply made by wrapping a towel around itself, and the Duster was homemade from scraps of cloth.
Bai Feng finally understood who the Housekeeping Fairy was.
"You did all this?" he asked, pointing to the clean and tidy Living Room.
"Mii ru~ Mii ru~" Yes~ Did I not do something right?
Hearing Bai Feng's question, Buneary was a bit apprehensive.
"No, no, you did great." Bai Feng quickly waved his hand. It wasn't just great, it was absolutely wonderful, like a Housekeeping Fairy walking into reality.
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Buneary quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It said shyly, "I'll work hard from now on and definitely won't eat a Free Meal."
In the end, while happy about Bai Feng taking it in, Buneary also felt uneasy inside.
With such a diligent Buneary, Bai Feng felt like he had truly struck gold. So he waved his hand and said, "Buneary, you did a great job. From now on, all the cleaning work in the Home will be handed over to you!"
Bai Feng's Home was indeed built large, and cleaning was a time-consuming and laborious task. Now having a Pokémon that could help was simply the best thing.
What Bai Feng didn't know was that Buneary was much more capable than he imagined. Since having Buneary, he never had to worry about Housework again.
"Mii ru~ Mii ru~"
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Buneary hopped and jumped happily. In its eyes, Bai Feng was entrusting it with an important task. From now on, it was secure in this Home!
Thinking of this, Buneary felt as if it had been injected with Blaziken's Blood; it was boiling with enthusiasm and full of drive. It picked up its homemade Duster and continued to be Busy.
Soon, Bai Feng discovered the special quality of this Buneary. Its small Body actually contained great Energy. It could effortlessly lift heavy Furniture like Cabinets and Refrigerators with ease.
Was Buneary perhaps the legendary Strongman?
