Pokemon: I'm a Farmer

"The water quality here is really good. We can come over here to swim often in the future!" 

Rex exclaimed.

It had been a few days since they diverted water from the artificial lake. When Rex was building the artificial lake, he didn't dig everything to the same depth. Instead, it was distributed in a step-like manner.

The water depth near the shore was only 1.5 meters, and as you moved towards the center of the artificial lake, it got deeper. However, the deepest part was only about 2 meters.

Now, he was playing in the lake with the Pokémon who were tired from working alongside him.

Yuli was also brought over by her sister, Akiko. Looking at the tall and slender figure in front of him, Rex couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart, but fortunately, it was quickly suppressed.

"Akiko, don't swim too far. Be careful!"

Yuli reminded her sister as she watched Akiko, wearing a swim ring balloon, swimming towards the center of the lake.

"I'm not afraid. With Poliwag here, it will protect me if there's any danger!"

"Now, Poliwag and Akiko are very close. They're basically inseparable. With its company, there's really no need to worry about her safety."

After all, this artificial lake wasn't large, and it had just been dug out. There were no dangerous Pokémon inside, and they were all keeping an eye on them.

"Yuli, the development of Rex Farm is getting better and better now. Especially in the past few months, after you made the energy cubes, we finally don't need to spend a lot of PokéCoins to buy energy cubes from the Pokémon store!"

Rex expressed his gratitude to Yuli.

This was indeed what he felt. In the past few months, apart from some daily expenses, he hadn't needed to spend money elsewhere. He had saved up 300,000 Alliance Coins now, and he also had five high-quality Evolution Stones, which could be cashed out in emergencies.

"Boss, you don't have to say that. The development of Rex Farm is all thanks to you. I just did some trivial work!"

Yuli didn't think she had done anything remarkable for Rex Farm.

She just did what she was supposed to do. On the contrary, Rex, the boss, often helped her, and he also donated a large amount of fruit to the orphanage, which she deeply appreciated.

"Well, let's not praise each other. There's something I want to discuss with you.

Our farm has been doing pretty well these past few months, so I plan to use the profits to purchase Miltank Pokémon eggs.

It's the uncle I introduced to you before, Makoto, who raises Miltank. His Miltank just laid a batch of Pokémon eggs and asked if I was interested. I plan to visit his farm in person and make a decision."

Rex explained the whole situation to Yuli and waited for her response.

"You can decide on this matter yourself, boss. I have no objections. I'm just afraid that we won't be able to handle it."

When Yuli heard that Rex planned to recruit another employee, she thought of her siblings, but she found it difficult to bring it up, so she hesitated.

"Why? Do you have any good recommendations?"

Seeing her hesitant expression, Rex understood her thoughts clearly. He also had plans in this regard, but he wanted to tease this usually calm and composed girl.

"Well, well, boss, can you consider my siblings? They're very capable."

Seeing Rex's half-smiling look, Yuli couldn't hide the fact that her intentions had been seen through.

But for the sake of her siblings' future, she still bit the bullet and spoke up.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Bring them to Rex Farm tomorrow. I need to meet them in person before making a decision!"

Although Rex intended to recruit Yuli's siblings, he only knew about Akiko. He hadn't met the others and wasn't sure if they were suitable for working on his farm.

Seeing one another was necessary. If he recruited someone who was all talk and no action, it would cause trouble and might even affect the rapport he had built with Yuli during this time!

"I understand, boss. I'll call the director now and inform her of this news. I'll ask her to bring them over for an interview at the farm tomorrow!"

Yuli also knew that Rex wouldn't decide to hire them just because of her words. If it were that simple, it wouldn't be responsible for both sides.

"In that case, it's settled. Tomorrow, make some delicious food to entertain the director and them properly!"

Rex felt that since they were guests from their farm, they couldn't be negligent and disrespect them.

"I got it, thank you, boss!"

Seeing Rex being so friendly to her relatives, Yuli was also very happy. She felt that the boss was really a good person.

That night, Yuli explained the situation to Director Nieno, who then had a thoughtful expression.

She was very happy that the children in her orphanage had good prospects. However, every time a child left the orphanage to start their own life, she always felt a sense of reluctance.

Because she had invested emotions into every child who joined her orphanage. It was like seeing her own children grow up and leave the shelter of their parents to venture out into the world.

Of course, despite her reluctance, she wouldn't stop the children from pursuing their own paths. She would silently bless them and hope they would have a bright future.

"This is the situation. You two need to carefully consider whether you are suitable for this job. Don't let down the kindness of your sister!"

Director Nieno explained the situation to Mizuno Yuta and Takemoto Yui after briefing them on the matter. Currently, only the two of them met the age requirements at the orphanage.

"Alright, Director Nieno, we will seriously consider it."

"So will I."

After learning about the situation, the two of them felt a little uneasy. They needed some time to think about what they really wanted and whether they were willing to go to Rex Farm.

With nothing said that night,

Early the next morning, because someone was coming to visit their farm, Rex got up early and went to his vegetable garden to pick some fresh vegetables. Then, he went to the orchard to pick some fresh fruits to entertain the guests.

"Welcome, Director Nieno!"

Towards noon, Rex finally welcomed Director Nieno and her group. Unexpectedly, they didn't take any transportation but walked over.

Director Nieno also considered that after they left, there would only be three children under ten left in the orphanage, and she felt a bit uneasy. So she decided to treat this trip to Rex Farm as an outing and set off early with the children to visit Rex Farm.

Of course, the children were very happy. They looked forward to everything at Rex Farm. It was just that they hadn't had the opportunity to visit before, but now they had the chance, they naturally wouldn't miss it.

"You must be little Rex. Thank you for taking care of our Yuli and Akiko for so long!"

Upon seeing Rex for the first time, Director Nieno liked this 12-year-old boy. She saw determination, sunshine, and enthusiasm in him.

She knew Rex's background. He had suddenly suffered the blow of losing both parents, but he was able to pick himself up immediately and even started managing a farm, making it prosperous. This was not easy even for adults, but he, a child, managed to do it.

"You're too kind, Director. Most of the time, it's Yuli who takes care of me, and Akiko's arrival has also brought me joy. I should be thanking them instead!"

Rex expressed his true thoughts. After all, as a person who had traveled to this world alone, having someone accompany him was already something he was very grateful for.

 Your support is my motivation!
