Lumiose City's blistering heat continued for many days. Even if it was the evening, the heat didn't even cool down a degree.

The meeting proceeded until six before breaking.

Afterwards, Brock tailed Ash to his office, wanting to find an excuse to bum a dinner off. He carelessly sat down on the sofa. Brock started on an improper topic: "I say, you and our faculty beauty just decided to live apart?"

Ash walked behind the desk and bent down, his fingers tapping on the keyboard, "Without a proper title and no qualifications, what do you want me to do?"

Listen, listen!

The words! The tone!

You too have this day!

Brock was happy, very happy in his heart but very carefully didn't let this type of emotion spill out. This person in front of him was very perceptive, and he still owed this guy a few hundred dollars.

"Oh, this thing, pretty tragic." Brock brought out an expression of sympathy, and was planning on throwing out a "we are both lonely people, why don't we go eat dinner together?" when he saw Ash close the computer, looking like he was leaving. Brock paled.

"Leaving this early today?"

"En."

"Doing what?"

"Getting married and having kids."

At the exact same time in Vaniville town, it was storming rain. In a spacious and luxious villa's den, Serena was walking a little boy through middle-school level questions.

"First make a line connecting the corners, then make an assisting line from this side, we can conclude the following relationships ...... and using the proper relationships ...... solve like this ...... understand?"

The little boy seemed to want to cry and shook his head, looking at Serena with eyes of confusion.

"Um, no problem, let's go over it again."

Last week when Serena returned home, before she could spend some quality time with her parents, she was sent by her dad here to give his factory manager's son some tutoring. He also rejected Serena's request for a cellphone, saying: "When it's time, you can use your money from tutoring to buy it."

Every time Serena thought of it, she couldn't help but wanted to cry. If she knew earlier, she wouldn't have spent the scholarship money she had gotten before. Thankfully this child was very obedient and easy to teach.

After changing her way of explaining, the boy understood. She took him through another two questions. The rain finally stopped and Serena hurriedly said farewell and left.

After the storm, the sun was still stubbornly trying to peek out, but the strength was very weak. The air seemed to carry the special type of crisp and cold smell that came after rain. Facing the cool night wind, Serena rode her bike. She wore a green straw hat, traversing the crooked streets to quickly rush home.

There were important things to do today.

Getting home, eating dinner and washing up took to almost seven. Serena greeted her parents before squeezing into her bedroom and putting on earphones. Opening the computer and logging on to the game, Master was already there.

Serena adjusted the microphone: "How long have you been here? It was raining today, I came back late."

Serena was using voice chat.

Before in the dorms, she had been afraid of disturbing her dormmates so she basically used only typing to communicate. It certainly wasn't the case at home. She did what was most convenient. Her parent's bedroom was on the other side of the living room, she wasn't afraid of them hearing anything after locking the door.
