June 20.
Alola Region, Ula'ula Island.
This time, Li Wei and Professor Kukui brought Ash and the others to Ula'ula Island for outdoor lessons.
Just as he had taken the Island Kahuna's trial on Akala Island, Ash planned to take Ula'ula Island's Island Kahuna trial this time.
"Look, we can see Ula'ula Island!"
"Huh, a snowy mountain!"
Lillie smiled. "Of course! That's Mount Lanakila, the highest snowy mountain in the Alola Region."
"Speaking of Ula'ula Island's Island Kahuna..."
Kiawe nodded. "I know. It's Mr. Nanu, someone who really hates dealing with trouble."
Professor Kukui explained, "Mr. Nanu is also a police officer."
Mallow and Lana couldn't understand that.
"A police officer who hates trouble? How does that work?"
Li Wei also had some recollection of Nanu.
But those impressions were all from long ago.
Lance had also told Li Wei about Nanu.
He had once been with the International Police.
He had even been Looker's superior.
But he had since left the International Police.
Apparently, there had been a reason for his departure.
Still, Lance had mostly described it as a personal matter.
Li Wei suddenly grew a little curious.
"I'm going to make a call."
Professor Kukui nodded. "All right."
Li Wei went alone to the stern of the luxury yacht.
He called Lance.
Of all the times Li Wei had called Lance, this was one of the quieter occasions on his end.
Several times, Lance had even answered Li Wei's calls while commanding an operation.
Li Wei asked, "Lance, are you busy?"
Lance's voice came through the phone.
"What is it? Need something from me again?"
"What are you doing? It's so quiet around you."
"Taking a break. Having tea in my office."
"From the sound of things, you're out at sea."
"Yeah, we're heading to Ula'ula Island."
