After laughing for only a moment, Zacian came to his senses.
He wasn't looking for Tang Yunqin as a Legendary Pokémon right now.
His identity around Tang Yunqin was that of a big dog. He couldn't let Latios accidentally expose him.
Without hesitation, Zacian moved between Latios and Tang Yunqin.
As he blocked Tang Yunqin's line of sight, he kept making little expressions at Latios.
"Brother, what do you mean by that?"
Latios naturally understood what his good brother Zacian meant.
But in a situation like this, if he didn't mess with him a little, wouldn't Latios be wasting such a perfect opportunity?
Zacian froze for a moment. Upon hearing Latios's voice, he quickly turned to look at Tang Yunqin.
But Tang Yunqin showed no reaction. She was merely playing with Diancie and Zorua, who had just woken up and was still groggy, in her arms.
"Don't worry. Telepathy—she can't hear us."
After Latios said that, he saw Zacian turn toward him with an unfriendly look in his eyes.
Oh no, he'd said the wrong thing.
Didn't that sentence amount to telling Zacian outright—
I understand what you mean, but I'm pretending not to?
However, Latios's expression only changed briefly before he quickly became righteous again.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm telling you, no matter what, if you don't give me an explanation today, hehehe~"
Never before had Zacian found Latios's face so irritating.
Just say you want a fee already. Why spout all that nonsense?
But there was nothing he could do. His little sword was with Tang Yunqin right now.
If he hadn't wanted to retrieve his little sword through proper channels, he wouldn't have needed to care about Latios's "threat" at all.
But unfortunately, he now had no choice but to be "threatened" by Latios.
