After all, having been plowed for a whole night, now smelling Hakuya's breath at close range, this female-ripe maid panted with warm breaths, leaning on Hakuya's shoulder with closed eyes like a large female cat.
And in Officer Jenny's eyes, this was undoubtedly a more dangerous signal.
"Jie-jie-jie... if Officer Jenny doesn't come for lunch soon, I will..."
At this moment, Hakuya, who had returned the sleeping silver-haired maid to her room, walked out. Looking at the untouched dishes on the dining table and the green-haired, cold, glamorous mature sister standing dumbfounded on the side, the corners of his mouth couldn't help rising.
Speaking of this, he picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful of thick soup, and lightly fed it to this police officer lady full of horrified expression.
Looking at the police officer lady staggering, as if really about to be drugged and fall to be trained by the farm owner at will, Hakuya finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
"Alright, I was joking. Cogita is my personal maid, and there's no drug in the food..."
"It's not early anymore; sit down and taste quickly~"
Hakuya reached out and pressed lightly on the fragrant shoulder of this still dazed green-haired mature sister, letting her sit down smoothly.
After all, the relationship between them was very good. He wasn't worried that Officer Jenny would directly take out silver handcuffs and invite him to eat League prison food.
Rather than explaining honestly like a criminal, it seemed more fun to go with the flow and scare her.
"..."
Realizing she not only thought wrong but was also played, Officer Jenny bit her cherry lips tightly.
She took the stewed Slowpoke Tail Hakuya served her. Her charming red pretty face turned away, unsure if it was anger from being scared just now or subconscious shyness from being stared at by the farm owner.
"Detestable, if I knew earlier... mmm... I would have handcuffed you just now!"
Officer Jenny, with her mouth stuffed full of delicious food, muttered.
"Bark-bark~"
On the side, looking at the stubborn Trainer, the honest Growlithe chose to expose her mercilessly.
After eating and drinking their fill, Hakuya, as the host, took this police officer lady around the farm.
Whether the Wan-Wan Grain fields overflowing with tempting wheat fragrance, the pasture where dozens of round, cute Miltank lived, or the Gracidea flower field enough to make many girls' hearts flutter... no matter which, they all brought a huge shock to Officer Jenny, who lived in Hearthome City year-round.
Of course, the river discovered this morning, polluted at some unknown time, was also among them.
"Officer Jenny, have you received any complaints or reports from residents recently?"
Hakuya stopped by the stinking river, turned around, and asked.
Although he previously guessed that Poison-type Pokémon like Muk occupied the river channel, making the originally clear river water muddy and smelly, without a large amount of man-made wastewater and garbage environment, those Poison-type Pokémon wouldn't migrate there specifically.
Moreover, the places this river flowed through were really too wide, spanning nearly three or four towns. If he and Gardevoir really had to trace the source bit by bit, just determining the pollution source would take a lot of time...
On the side, Officer Jenny, who also followed, looked at the black, turbid river water before her, frowning involuntarily.
Leagues everywhere had regulations constraining large and small enterprises in their regions. In order not to affect the ecological environment and the normal life of wild Pokémon, industrial and agricultural wastewater needed to be treated before discharge. Otherwise, light penalties were a seven-day tour of the police station detention center, and heavy penalties were eating more than ten years of League prison food directly.
She recalled carefully, finally shaking her head lightly.
"Mmm... Hearthome City Police Station shouldn't have received relevant report information these days."
"However, I will communicate with other police stations as soon as possible to try determining which river section it was polluted from..."
After pondering for a moment, Officer Jenny took out her communicator and began contacting police stations in towns along the river resolutely.
Although Hinata Town wasn't under her jurisdiction, for such a police officer lady bursting with a sense of justice and dedication, even if Hakuya didn't mention it actively, she wouldn't sit idly by.
After waiting for only a dozen minutes, police stations in towns along the river sent replies one by one—to Hakuya and Officer Jenny's surprise, neither Snowpoint City nor Floaroma Town had complaints about river pollution.
"Wait a minute, there is still a suspicious piece of news!"
Unlike the inexperienced farm owner, this green-haired, cold, glamorous mature sister locked onto a seemingly inconspicuous piece of information mixed in after successive investigations with her keen intuition.
This was a report received by a police officer in Floaroma Town in recent days.
The reporter was a Ranger working in Eterna Forest—during this time, he often heard strange roaring sounds coming from the west side of the forest.
But due to the patrol area and the difficulty in determining the specific location, he finally chose to feedback this information to the local police station in Floaroma Town.
Hearing this, Hakuya nodded secretly.
Hidden deep in the dim, secretive forest unnoticed by people, a group of evil gangs tinkering and producing strange things behind the scenes, then conveniently discharging a large amount of waste polluting the environment into the river... He expressed familiarity with this plot development.
"Houndoom~" The Houndoom leader, sensing there might be another fight, barked twice lightly.
"Eterna Forest is too large, and the environment inside can be considered complex."
On the side, unlike the eager Houndoom leader, Officer Jenny as a police officer was obviously much more cautious. "Entering rashly not only has a high probability of getting lost but is also prone to attacks from many aggressive Pokémon along the way..."
Reality was different from games. Breaking into a wild forest wasn't a fun house game—not to mention Pokémon hiding in the dark ready to attack anytime, just the complicated forest paths could give many Trainers a headache.
"Therefore, I think we can fully entrust it to the police station in Floaroma Town. With multiple police officers and local Rangers moving out together, they will definitely be able to solve the river pollution source..."
Normally speaking, professional matters could naturally be left to professionals. However, contrary to Officer Jenny's expectation, the black-haired youth before her didn't agree like a hands-off boss but chose to refuse straightforwardly.
"Thank you very much for your suggestion, Officer Jenny... but no need to trouble the local police station. Leave this matter to me alone to solve..."
Hakuya just shook his head lightly, speaking calmly.
The reasons were simple.
First, complete the mission issued by the system. Second, conveniently beat up the initiator who poisoned the Miltank on the pasture.
Making a special trip to solve it wasn't too troublesome a thing.
"..."
At this moment, looking at the farm owner's appearance, Officer Jenny was slightly lost in thought.
For some reason, she inexplicably recalled the figure repelling the beast tide alone under the sky full of ice and snow earlier.
Also calm and composed like this, full of confidence, as if any problem could be solved, right?
"Alright, then I'll go together too."
The police officer lady blushed slightly, bringing out the shield of absolute justice.
"After all, this is also my duty."
