Luther's guess was correct. This solar rain lasted only a short time. The grass elves along the way ran out to welcome the rain with laughter. After a while, they shook the water drops on their bodies in disappointment and went back to their homes.
Several cities in central and southern Sinnoh have had no rainfall for more than half a year.
There has even been a large-scale water shortage in the east and south of the Hoenn region near Sinnoh.
This summer, there was almost no widespread rainfall in Hoenn and Sinnoh, causing agriculture in many places to be seriously affected.
It's okay to live on the island. The fresh water resources on the island depend on Mana Fei, Xiao Yin and Lugia, so there is no shortage of them.
However, in the long run, Luther is really worried that there will be a food shortage caused by a bad harvest centered on Sinnoh.
Before Arceus woke up, the energy he had spilled had already transformed into a divine punishment.
The extreme cold has delayed the sowing time of crops in the region, and the drought has destroyed the environment for growing crops. A cold and a drought, even without the gravel of sanctions falling from the sky, are enough to cause suffering to the people in the Sinnoh region.
This strong sense of déjà vu is simply like Midina after a meteorite fell and no grass grew.
If he can't find the Life Gem, Luther doesn't want Arceus to wake up.
But if Arceus remains awake, the land of Sinnoh will be ravaged.
Luther never asked Phoenix King if there was a food shortage in the land of Sinnoh, whether she would help restore those lands that had lost their vitality and provide help to humans.
In the case of Arceus, Luther did not want to rely on the power of any mythical beast he knew. His intuition told Luther that it would be difficult for them to make a choice.
"Let's take a step and see."
Sighing, Luther opened the door.
It was very quiet, there was no loud talking, and no other movements could be heard.
It wasn't until he walked to the hall that Luther saw Mai and Kong Mute writing something with pens on the coffee table with their heads down.
After the two parties exchanged the documents in their hands, they realized that Luther was behind them.
Kongmu Che stood up, put the documents into the briefcase he carried with him, and said, "I'll come back on the wedding day. If you need anything, call me."
Kongmu Che insisted not to let Luther and Mai send him away, but let Cresselia lead him, and then left the island, as hurriedly as when he came.
Sitting on the boat returning to Binhai City, Toru Kongmu looked at the documents in his hand, remembered what Mai had just said to him, and smiled happily.
Mai is still willing to call him daddy, even though it's awkward, but compared to her decision four years ago, a lot has changed.
As Mai said, only by separating the two parties and re-examining the relationship between the two can the lost emotions between the two be recovered bit by bit.
It wasn't that he didn't want to stay as a guest, but when he saw Luther... he couldn't help but want to be angry.
Kongmu Che felt that his anger was unreasonable. Luther was a qualified husband in every aspect.
When he and Mai had nothing to talk about, they talked about Luther. Mai could immediately talk a lot, with a happy smile on her face.
That was Kong Mu Te's familiar yet unfamiliar expression, and for a moment it reminded him of the time when Mai was always around him.
Kongmu Tetsu knew very well that Luther could give Mai everything she wanted and was very protective of him...but he was just awkward.
It felt like a cherished treasure had been taken away, and I felt uncomfortable seeing Luther.
Showing such awkward emotions in front of Mai might cause her to misunderstand.
Simply, it’s better to leave alone,
After Kong Mu Te left, Luther glanced at the documents left on the desktop.
Judging from the name, it is a cooperation matter related to the Qidao theme restaurant. It is probably that Toru Kongmu hopes that the theme restaurant will only have drinks from the Kongmu family.
Or maybe he plans to exclusively sponsor Elf Knight, a project that is about to develop into a big IP.
Luther didn't ask. He didn't know as much as Mai in this regard. Anyway, if Mai took action, Kongmu Tetsu couldn't take advantage.
"Is the deal settled?" Luther asked.
"Well, the Elf Knight will be the exclusive sponsor of the Kongmu family, but I don't plan to let his family eat the drinks in the restaurant."
When Mai talked about these things with great joy, it could be seen that she took the dominant position in the conversation with Kongmu Tetsu and forced him to make concessions.
Luther originally wanted to ask about the private conversation between her and Kongmu Che, but when he saw Mai being so excited, he remembered that she had been so eager to prove herself in front of Kongmu Che over the years...
Luther held his chin and listened patiently as Mai told him the details of the negotiation between the two. He listened to Mai chasing after Kongmu Che fiercely and refusing to give in on the distribution of interests, forcing Kongmu Che to almost not want to talk.
Hearing her proudly announce that she had cut out a piece of meat from the Kongmu family and helped Qidao take a big advantage.
Mai kept stroking Eevee in her arms, becoming more and more excited as she talked, like a child who had gained a favorite toy and couldn't help but want to show off to others.
"Are you happy?"
Mai was stunned for a moment and nodded vigorously.
She clenched her fists and said firmly: "I finally..."
Mai changed the topic, looked at Luther with gleaming eyes, and said, "Tonight I want to eat sweet and sour crispy pork. If you don't let me eat more, I will also eat two more bites of pickled and sour pork."
"Also, please don't compete with me for the fried tofu. You don't give me more to eat every time. You're so mean!"
Mai named the dishes so fast that Luther couldn't laugh or cry.
"Can you eat so much?"
"I don't care, I want to eat!" Mai hugged Luther's hand, "Make it for me, okay?"
He was indeed like a child who wanted to be unreasonable and make a fuss, but suddenly realized that it was inappropriate and started to ask questions in a consultative tone.
"Okay, okay, I'll make it later. If I can't finish it, I'll probably serve it to the elves as a late-night snack. Maybe Sirona stays up late and wants to eat some too?"
Seeing that Mai was so happy, Luther simply didn't mention the topic that might make Mai unhappy.
Luther put on his apron and called Fat Keding and the others to strike.
Just as she was about to enter the kitchen, Mai suddenly said: "Didn't you say that when the baby is one month old, you will treat everyone to a full moon wine?"
"I told him that when the time comes, he will be asked to come to Qidao as his grandfather and meet this child."
Luther walked up to Mai and kissed her forehead gently.
"Revisited?"
Mai nodded: "It's time to turn the page. We are all going to be mothers. Let him go by the past."
"Although I don't approve of his past actions, he has indeed tried to change in recent years."
"He was very humble when talking to me...You know, he was not like this before. He would only order me to obey his arrangements."
"Now, I can feel that he really cares about me and is willing to respect every choice I make."
Mai, who had proven her excellence to her father, straightened her body and said confidently.
