<h4>Chapter 677: Results</h4>


    "Miss Miyuki, we still have some matters to attend to, so we won''t linger here. Goodbye."


    After saying this to Miyuki, Yuga and Lain added, "Let''s go check on Misaki''s situation."


    Lain nodded in response.


    Even though the final rankings hadn''t been announced yet, Lain''s performance virtually guaranteed her a spot, making it unnecessary for her to wait here.


    With that, Yuga, apanied by Lain, Anya, and Gadevoir, left the incense area and headed to the Pokéblock area.


    Watching Yuga''s hurried departure, Miyuki''s expression darkened briefly. In a ce where no one could see, she wore a ugly look on her face.


    "Shimizu Yuga..."


    She softly whispered the name to herself before turning to leave.


    On their way to the Pokéblock area:


    "Why do I feel like you''re somewhat afraid of Miss Miyuki?" Lain asked Yuga, looking puzzled.


    Yuga let out a deep sigh and replied, "I''m not afraid of her, I just prefer not to interact with her."


    Although Miyuki didn''t have any personal conflicts or grievances with him, Yuga found her dark personality hidden beneath her beautiful exterior something to avoid. It wasn''t about fear; it was about dislike.


    Lainmented, "Well, it''s strange that you wouldn''t be interested when such a beautifuldy is showing you attention."


    Yuga retorted, "Who cares about being interested or not? I''m simply not interested."


    With that, Yuga quickly moved ahead.


    When Yuga and Lain''s group arrived at the Pokéblock area, the inspection was only halfway through. While crafting Pokéblocks was faster than incense, there were a lot more types of Pokéblocks—eighteen to be exact. Moreover, the number of participating merchants here was several times more than in the incense area, so the progress was reasonable.


    Before Yuga''s group arrived, Misaki had alreadypleted her inspection and was currently leading the rankings.


    Her performance was indeed impressive.


    YoYo Day Care was participating in ten types of Pokéblocks bidding.


    The solidity of Ground-type, the vitality of Grass-type, the fierceness of Dark-type, the extender of Water-type, the enigma of Poison-type, the chilliness of Ice-type, the imagination of Psychic-type, the innocence of Fairy-type, the resilience of Rock-type, and the levitation of Flying-type.


    They had a special agreement with Aroma Day Care to exclusively supply Grass-type Pokéblocks to them. Before entering this bidding event, Yuga had negotiated with them, and they understood the rarity of this opportunity. They had agreed to modify the agreement, and Yuga had even lowered the price of the Grass-type Pokéblocks they would supply, making it cheaper than the future selling price in the League Store.


    As for the Ghost-type Pokéblock form, Yuga had only recently acquired it, and Misaki hadn''t had time to practice, so it wasn''t included in this bidding event.


    The Beauty-enhancing and Improved Extender Pokéblocks were also not part of this bidding.


    Nevertheless, with ten types of Pokéblock forms in their possession, YoYo Day Care already outshone the majority of businesses.


    Even those with more varieties than YoYo Day Care ranked lower in the same types of Pokéblocks. Achieving this result owed much to Misaki''s exceptional crafting skills and the miraculous forms rewarded by the system.


    "Boss! And Lain! You''re here!"


    Seeing Yuga and his group, Misaki was overjoyed. Her face had turned rosy due to the excitement.


    Despite being a year older than Lain, Misaki didn''t possess the same level ofposure.


    "It''s been hard work for you," Yuga said with a smile.


    "Not at all, not at all!" Misaki quickly waved her hands.


    For Misaki, having her crafted Pokéblocks sold in League Store was a tremendous honor. Her background was ordinary, and without being recruited into YoYo Day Care, she might never have had this opportunity in her lifetime.


    At this moment, she couldn''t help but feel fortunate that she hadn''t betrayed YoYo Day Care to the Kiryu (uncle and cousin).


    Now, with YoYo Day Care''s business booming, their employees'' sries kept increasing, and even though their workload had grown, the boss treated them well.


    Most importantly, they were learning knowledge that couldn''t be acquired elsewhere.


    Misaki: "By the way, how is Lain''s situation over there?"


    Lain replied with an OK gesture, "Everything''s going smoothly! Barring any surprises, she''s definitely in."


    "That''s great, really great," Misaki said with joy. The glory achieved by YoYo Day Care was her own as well. It instilled in her a sense of belonging and pride to be part of YoYo Day Care.


    Due to therge number of participating merchants and the variety of Pokéblocks to be reviewed in the Pokéblock area, waiting for the final inspection results was time-consuming.


    Yuga observed batch after batch of breeders entering and exiting the smallpartments where they crafted Pokéblocks, a process that took a significant amount of time.


    By the time the results for the Pokéblocks were finally released, it was already dark outside.


    The results held no surprises. Misaki had maintained her top position throughout, for all ten types of Pokéblocks.


    The results were disyed on electronic screens in the lobby, and as soon as they were out, YoYo Day Care''s reputation spread rapidly among their peers.


    In the incense area, the results were simrly uneventful, with no significant fluctuations or unexpected dark horses. Miyuki''s scores remained at the top, followed closely by Lain.


    Miyuki and her grandfather received congrattions from their fellow participants in the crowd.


    Miyuki wore a polite smile, concealing her true emotions. Only her asional icy nces at her grandfather, who was engaged in conversations, revealed a hint of coldness.


    However, her grandfather, while engaging with others, didn''t disy much joy on his face. He remained remarkablyposed.


    This was in stark contrast to his friendly demeanor when dealing with Yuga.


    Others didn''t find this odd. In their eyes, Miyuki''s grandfather was a highly respected figure in the incense world, and a more aloof attitude suited his image.


    Of course, there were quite a few people who came to congratte Yuga as well.


    But since the results were already out, Yuga had no intention of staying longer. He promptly left with Misaki and Lain.


    This left many people disappointed who had hoped to make connections with Yuga.


    Most people understood Yuga''s actions, though. He was a young, Elite level Trainer, and a promising future awaited him. Many wanted to befriend him.
