Pokémon: Adventures with Sirona

"Domo"

"No, thank you. Let's go."

Cam froze when his master told him to leave.

Unexpectedly, he looked around the store, but there was no sign of Sirona.

"never"

"Yes. Lord Sirona is getting dressed."

"Me too"

"Yes"

Cam held his head.

""

"It suits you very well~"

Keim, who was urged to change clothes by the shop owner, looked away from him.

I searched for various colors and ended up with an indigo kimono paired with a black blouse.The outer cover is embroidered in navy blue with a moon pattern painted on it.

""

"how?"

"…good.

"oh dear"

As expected of a professional in this field, he chose a kimono and haori that matched the atmosphere of Keim.

It was Kaim's first time wearing a kimono, but somehow it was fine.Clothing that naturally stretches the spine is a refreshing feeling while at the same time giving a sense of tension.It's a little hard to move, but you'll get used to it soon.

"Fine. I thought calming colors would suit you, but my eyes aren't crazy."

"Domo"

"No, it's work. Ah, Lady Sirona, I think you will be dressed soon. It is difficult for a woman to prepare for all kinds of things."

"I know."

Women are very conscious of their appearance.Cam had been living with his sister until he met Sirona, and he was well aware of that.

Cam's older sister was quicker to get ready, but even so, she seemed to take a lot of time from a man's point of view.Therefore, Cam is quite tolerant of women's personal preferences.

"I think it's time to put an end to the rumors, if there are any."

Just as the shopkeeper said that, the sliding door behind opened.

There is also Bai Nai who has a dignified aura that is different from usual.

The navy blue kimono is engraved with a floral pattern, and the navy blue background brings out the beauty of the flowers.The sash is white to match the navy blue kimono.Plus, her knee-length blonde hair is tied back, matching the kimono perfectly.And she has light makeup on her face, and her small mouth with pink lipstick looks very elegant.

"ーー"

Cam was speechless.

Because it is so beautiful.

"…copper?"

Sirona smiled gracefully at Cam, but Cam turned cold.

With that smile and words, Cam rebooted.

“The atmosphere has changed so much.”

"Isn't it nice? I like this kimono very much."

Sirona turned around on the spot.

"real"

"So? Wouldn't it be great if you could tell me what's on your mind?"

Sirona understood that this was something Cam was not good at, so she said so.I said this with the motive of playing with Whispering Cam, but the plan ended in failure.

"It suits you. It's beautiful."

Hearing what Kaim said, Bai Nai's whole body was stiff this time, and her cheeks felt hot.Since her skin is naturally fair, when she turns red, it is striking even with makeup on.

"what"

"That's my real impression.

"Uh yeah"

"What a pity. And this."

Kem handed the hairpin he bought before to Sirona.

"This is?"

"I bought it because I thought it matched the color of Sirona. I wanted you to wear it."

Sirona looked at the hairpin handed to her.

The hairpin is painted in black lacquer with gold patterns painted on it.The color is similar to Sirona's usual outfits and fits well with her current kimono.

"beautiful…"

"It's similar to a color I usually use, so I thought it would match."

"Thank you, I'm glad"

Sirona carefully pinned the hairpin to her chest.

"Can you wear this?"

"willing"

I bought a barrette, but Cam doesn't know how to put it on.Hirona wanted Cam to wear it, but I decided to ask a professional on that route.

The bobby pins that Cam bought stuck in the gathered hair at the back of his head.This made the atmosphere more dignified.

"What, how is it?"

Cam said with a normal expression to his blushing face.

"Very beautiful, very suitable for Bai Nai now."

Just one word.That's all Cam said.But this sentence made Sirona feel happiest.

Sirona turns her face away so Cam can't see her face, but it doesn't work as well if her ears are red.

"…thanks"

Cam said nothing to the whisper, but he sighed contentedly.

"Can I go out on the street wearing this kimono?"

"Yes. That's what rent is for."

"I'm going out first. Come out when you're ready."

Cam finished and left the store.

Bai Nai who stayed behind blushed, and the shopkeeper was looking at her with a smile.

"Ala, you speak straight."

"I don't usually say things like that."

"Isn't it because of this? You saw the very beautiful Lady Sirona, so don't you think you should tell her honestly?"

Cam rarely told lies, but he wasn't honest.This is why Sirona is weak to Kem's outspokenness and impression.

Cam knew this too.He was disobedient, and even knowing this, Sirona still played pranks on him.He was a little embarrassed to tell his true feelings, so he didn't say much.

But this time, I was fascinated by Sirona's beauty.Bai Nai, who was already very beautiful, became speechless as soon as she put on the beautiful kimono.I'm just interested in Sirona in the kimono, but I want Kaim to see it too.Cam knows what he's thinking, so he decides to be honest and tell him what's on his mind.

"I want you to be honest with me."

“Huhu, it’s great to be young.

“Even the hairpins”

"Does Lord Cam understand the meaning of sending hairpins?"

"If you understand that, I think you might not be so calm."

"That is, you gave it without knowing it."

"Maybe, I think so."

"Fufu, are you still happy?"

“Yes, I like it very much”

Sirona looked at Cam, who was shown to him by the clerk outside the store, with a little resentment, and touched her hairpin at the same time.

“Where to go first”

"First I wondered if the burnt tower was nearby."

"A burned tower? What does it look like?"

It looks like the burnt tower has the same shape as the Si Pagoda of Eunju City, but there is no trace of it now.You can see outside, but not inside.

"Kam, what is the most famous Pokémon in the Johto area?"

"Hooo. Or Lugia?"

"Both. Because these two are a pair of creatures. Isn't it unnatural that there is a tin tower in Yuanzhu City, that is, a tower that only enshrines the Phoenix King?"

"Well, there is a story about Silver Feather in the legend. Doesn't Lugia must be enshrined in the burned tower?"

"There's no doubt about it. What I'm curious about is 'Why did it burn down?' and 'Why didn't you rebuild it?'"

"!"

Bai Nai wondered why the pagoda, which was originally enshrined, had been burned down and why it hadn't been rebuilt.Is it your reluctance to rebuild, or is there a reason you can't?As an archaeologist, this seems like a very interesting place to be.
