Tanie was inheriting Quasar Company?
Baimu looked at Tanie, who lay sprawled on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling. "At this rate, Lumiose City will belong to your family."
"What?"
Xanthia didn't understand.
The Porygon Phone explained, "You're the new boss of the Rust Group, and Tanie's about to become the new president of Quasar Company. Doesn't that mean you'll rule both sides of Lumiose City?"
Tymra and Bel exchanged a glance.
"That's true!" Tymra tapped a fist against her palm, her eyes lighting up. "Does that mean we can do whatever we want from now on?"
Bel rapped her on the head. Tymra clutched it in pain. "I'm kidding!"
Xanthia made no comment. She looked at Tanie. "When are you leaving?"
"As soon as I can..."
Tanie let out a long breath and put a smile back on her face. "Guys! I'll come back as soon as I can!"
An Xin'er quietly explained, "It looks like Tanie's going to take over right away."
Tanie had helped Mascato, the Quasar Company president's secretary, many times before. She had even served as President Xeldas's bodyguard, so she already knew the company's procedures well enough to start without training.
Tanie herself had never expected an odd job to bring her into contact with her grandmother so early.
Perhaps some things were simply meant to be.
Baimu looked at Tanie and Xanthia and, for some reason, thought of himself and Shan Ren. "..."
Was it time to go home?
Deep down, he felt this was some kind of sign.
The Parallel World had plenty of places worth exploring, but now was not the right time.
After all, he had stumbled into Future Lumiose City while trying to rescue An Xin'er.
It was time to return to where he had come from.
