After laughing, Heisenberg looked at the girl's excited expression, nodded, and continued.
"Then should I be leaving with you now? I really have to thank you for being willing to give me a ride. Are those two over there your parents? They look... quite friendly!"
"Of course. No one could be more kind than they are, sir. Come with me. We'll take you into the city. Oh, could I hold this little cutie? Just for a moment!"
"Of course you can."
Heisenberg casually placed Pikachu in Elena's arms. The girl immediately hugged Pikachu in delight and gave him plenty of affectionate attention.
As she interacted with Pikachu, the girl led Heisenberg toward her parents.
Nearby, after the other fishermen saw this scene...
Mysterious smiles appeared on every one of their faces...
When they reached Elena's parents, Heisenberg nodded in greeting and said hello to the elderly couple.
"Hello, I'm Heisenberg, a... poor fellow who went mountain climbing with his friends and got tossed into the wilderness by them as a joke. Believe me, once I get home, I'll give them a proper lesson!"
"Haha, that's truly amusing! Mr. Heisenberg, don't be too harsh on your friends. That kind of joke may be excessive, but people can't pull it off without a certain foundation of affection. Old folks like us are rather envious of the lively lives you young people lead."
Elena's father spoke to Heisenberg, then pointed at the car behind him.
"You look quite eager to get back to the city, so you can borrow our car first.
My wife and I still plan to enjoy Whitefish Lake's scenery and the fun of fishing for a while longer.
But you understand, we can't exactly hand the car keys over to you.
How about Elena gives you a ride?
Elena
