Chapter 57 The Alien Adapting to Local Customs
Name: Unnamed (Single-cornered Jakuma)
Favorability: 85
Name: Unnamed (Double-horned Gakuma)
Favorability: 85
Looking at the two monsters' favorability ratings, Lin Yeming almost lost his composure.
No...it's really that rudimentary.
It's impossible to get any information from the panel.
However, this naming method is acceptable; we can't all just call each other "Gakuma," can we?
But what name should I use?
Lin Yeming thought for a long time and finally decided to use the simplest method.
They were named based on their characteristics.
Since Gakuma eats stones, let's use "stone" as our surname.
My older sister's name is Shi Wan.
My younger sister's name is Shi Qing.
Wan means gentle and graceful, and Qing means pure and innocent.
Just as he finished naming the two Gakumas, both of them raised their heads and looked at him.
Lin Yeming was somewhat surprised, "Since you like it, then it's decided."
The two Gakuma blinked, and then Shi Wan, the one-horned Gakuma, rubbed her head against his hand, looking quite pleased.
"Alright, since you like it so much, then... it's settled then."
"If you get hungry, just tell me, okay?"
The two Gakuma nodded.
Lin Yeming patted the two Gakuma heads. "Good boy."
His communicator suddenly rang, and he answered it with a puzzled look, only to find that it was Xincheng.
No, it should be Tsukishima Tetsuya.
I glanced at the time and realized it was already quite late.
"Ye Ming, could you come to the plaza for a moment?"
Tetsuya Tsukishima's voice was somewhat low, and he seemed rather downcast.
Lin Yeming could tell that this guy had made a decision.
He nodded, indicating that he would definitely be there.
He hung up the call, put on his clothes, and went over.
When he arrived at the square, he found that Tetsuya Tsukishima was already there.
He stood in front of the stone tablet, his expression complex.
Hearing footsteps, Tsukishima Tetsuya turned around and looked at Lin Yeming.
"You've arrived."
Lin Yeming nodded. "Have you made a decision?"
Tetsuya Tsukishima was silent for a moment, then said, "Maya said she wants to stay."
Lin Yeming was somewhat surprised by what Tsukishima Tetsuya said.
He thought Maya would choose to return to Mars.
That's exactly how the story went before.
Wait a moment...
Lin Yeming realized that something had changed. Since Maya had this idea, it must be because Tsukishima had told her the truth.
The choice then rested with him: whether to stay or to search for another place in the vast universe.
Looking at the night sky, Tetsuya Tsukishima continued, "She said that Earth is also her home, and she wants to stay and protect this memory."
"And do what you can."
She tried to persuade me to stay, but...
Lin Yeming interrupted Tsukishima Tetsuya, "But do you want to continue exploring the universe and searching for a new place to live?"
Are you sure you don't want to stay?
Tetsuya Tsukishima was silent for a long time before speaking, "Yes, my planet was destroyed, and my friends died one after another."
"But the Tantians are ambitious and will definitely start a war in the solar system. I want to do something... to delay their discovery of Earth."
"You still have one day of vacation left, you don't really need to rush."
Lin Yeming could tell that Yuedao was being a bit impulsive, so he tried to calm him down a bit.
Tetsuya Tsukishima shook his head. "No need. I've made up my mind. I'll take the Martian spaceship away to distract the Natanians."
"Ye Ming, the only person I can't let go of is Maya. She's my only family."
"Could you take care of her for me?"
Lin Yeming looked at the other person and understood that Tsukishima Tetsuya had made a decision.
He nodded. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."
Hearing Lin Yeming's reply, Tsukishima Tetsuya breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Yeming."
"We're friends, aren't we?"
Tetsuya Tsukishima smiled. "That's right, we're friends."
He reached out and hugged Lin Yeming.
Lin Yeming smiled slightly, his eyes showing a hint of helplessness and compromise: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's put our worries aside for now and go have a drink. This time it's on me."
Tsukishima shook his head slightly, his expression firm: "Don't drink and drive, that's my principle."
Lin Yeming was taken aback, then a playful smile appeared on his lips: "You're quick to learn. You're an alien, and you're actually starting to care about Earth's traffic rules?"
Tsukishima smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with wisdom: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since we're here, we should respect the culture and rules. After all, safety and respect are universal, no matter the world."
Lin Yeming nodded thoughtfully, but then shook his head: "How can that be? I finally have a chance to treat you to a drink, how can I just let it go like this?"
Tsukishima gently patted Lin Yeming's shoulder, her tone both gentle and firm: "Let's decide on this. We can drink milk or juice and still enjoy our time together."
In the end, the two smiled at each other and chose milk and juice as their drinks for the evening.
Lin Yeming watched the other person leave, leaving Xincheng unconscious.
Find the car keys on him and drive Xincheng to the headquarters.
Xincheng woke up as soon as he got off the bus.
"He's gone?"
Lin Yeming nodded, but didn't speak. Instead, he listened to Xincheng talking to himself, "I tried to persuade him, but it didn't work."
He also said... Mayumi was very worried about me.
Shinjo resonated with Tsukishima's guilt towards her younger sister.
After calming himself down, he said to Lin Yeming, "As you wished, Yuedao asked Maya to prepare some autographed albums for us to deliver."
When Xincheng opened the trunk, several boxes popped out. After unsealing them, it was clear that there were more than one box per person.
“Maya told him that the people here are strange; they usually prepare three copies of things they like.”
Lin Yeming knew this rule; it was advocated by a foreign collector.
His original words were: Every gentleman should have three copies of a book: one for display, one for use, and one for borrowing.
Of course, if you want three portions of something that's limited, that's impossible.
Lin Yeming nodded and said, "Then let's hand it over to everyone tomorrow."
"Mayumi invited us to the amusement park tomorrow, do you want to go?"
Lin Yeming shook his head and refused, indicating that he would not join in the fun.
According to his guess, if he goes, Mayumi might invite Takuma along; if he doesn't go, Mayumi will be alone.
This would turn into a sibling-like situation, and given Mayumi's concerns, it wouldn't be bad for the two of them to have an open and honest conversation.
Therefore, Lin Yeming decisively refused!
