Pokémon: Adventures with Sirona

"So when did you realize you liked Cam?"

Hearing Cattleya's question, Sirona's face flushed red.

Cattleya looked at Sirona happily, Shikimi looked curious, while Alice looked at her with sparkling eyes.

"When?! When?!"

"Uh"

"How was it when we met last year?"

"Well that time"

"then?"

"I guess I didn't realize that."

"When then?"

"To be honest I don't remember much. When I realized"

When she wanted to say "I'm in love with you," Sirona felt embarrassed and stopped.

But even if I don't say it, the three of them know what I want to say.

"…are you ready?"

"not yet"

"I want to hear more!"

“Because Miss Sirona’s private life is not known. I really want to hear more.”

"Is it fun to make fun of people older than you?"

"Yes"

"Yes!"

"relatively"

"already…"

Cam was good at running away from things like this, but even here he couldn't escape.

"I don't want to talk too much about girls at my age"

"But that's what Miss Sirona really thinks, isn't it?"

She devoted most of her life to warfare and archaeology, and never dated a man.Of course, there were times when someone approached him, but no man could match Sirona's glasses.So I never had a relationship until this age.

It's a bit embarrassing to have a boyfriend for the first time at the age of 25, but it's even more embarrassing to say something unsuitable to that boyfriend.

However, since this is Sirona's true intention, there is no other way.In the face of Cattleya's mental power, no matter how clumsy deception is, it will not work.

"Hey, Miss Sirona, why do you like Miss Cam?"

Alice's problems are purely due to her naivety.However, more important than this, in a sense, it can be said to be the most important thing in this women's club.

"Where do you like"

Since she can't escape, Sirona thinks of Cam and decides she has no choice but to talk about it.

"I don't think this kind of thing is very logical. But in this case, it's best to give a valid reason."

"I can understand it's not logical.

Sirona thought for a while and honestly expressed the answer in her heart.

"As I thought, I was serious and dedicated."

Neither warfare nor archeology is outstanding.However, Sirona liked the fact that she accurately identified her shortcomings and worked hard to overcome them.It took time to get over it, but his steady approach was more genuine than any other trainer I've encountered to date.

Sincerity applies not only to war and archeology, but also to relationships.Keim's appeal is that he treats everyone sincerely and never does anything to undermine trust.

"It's not surprising that someone can be honest with anyone and anything and keep going. I don't think anyone can stick to it."

"Well, sorry to be rude, but Cam really has no fighting talent."

“But Mr. Keim, you look strong, don’t you?

"I have a talent for being strong because I can find exactly what's missing. But I can't figure out how hard it takes to overcome a weakness."

This is the single most lacking aspect of Cam.I don't know what I can do to overcome it.So, they tried all kinds of ways, but in the end they wasted their time.

"But it's very hard to understand that and keep going. Everyone is afraid to face their weaknesses. I don't know if I can get over it and keep going."

Sirona herself has both combat talent and archaeological talent.Also, they were very interesting and enjoyable for Sirona, so she was able to keep working on them.

But if Sirona doesn't have these talents, can she still get to this point?I will make some.However, I cannot easily shake my head when asked if I am able to pour out my enthusiasm.

"Hmph, I really don't have confidence when you say that."

"There's no question I've always loved Pokémon but if you were to ask me if I would be as passionate as I am now I can't say for sure."

"I don't know much about fighting, it's fun whether you win or lose. I think the good thing about fighting is that you can learn about each other and your Pokémon through conflict. Of course I want to win, and if I lose, I will be very upset.

"Right? In whatever form, unlike Cam, we have talent and quality. Always

Once, when he entered the university, he seemed to have given up, but since taking Sirona as his teacher, he has continued to work hard without any compromise.Sumo has amassed terrible losses, but he will certainly use all of them, even a little, to keep himself afloat.

"He's awkward and kind of unobtrusive, but I think that's what attracted me to his honesty."

The three of them looked at Sirona's beauty unconsciously, and their faces blushed slightly.

"Haha I love you more than I thought."

"Isn't it?"

"Fuwa! That's great!"

"…enough?"

Embarrassed by the trio's reaction, Sirona begs for an end.

Of course, whether he listens or not is another matter.

"I want to ask you more until I get sleepy"

"Not yet! Shall we talk again?"

"I also want to hear about Miss Sirona!"

"The one I told you to take it easy"

After about two hours, Sirona was bombarded with questions until the three fell asleep peacefully.

Finally, Sirona was exhausted and headed to Cam's room, where the lights were still on, to replenish her lost energy.

Sensing the rising sun, Sirona opened her eyes.

For an instant, the first thing I saw in my blurred vision was the sleeping face of my loved one.Usually, his eyebrows are wrinkled, but when he fell asleep, I stared blankly at his face, sleeping peacefully.

Look at the clock, it's still early.

It was not surprising that the housekeeper Cochrane woke up, but at least Cattleya hadn't woken up yet.

You can sleep twice, but Cam usually wakes up earlier than Sirona, so there are not many chances to see her sleeping face.A rare opportunity, I looked at his slightly calm sleeping face.

Sirona stroked Cam's head as before going to bed.The slightly stiff hair touched my palm and changed shape to fit Sirona's hand.I stroked her slightly longer hair and stroked her cheek.

"...A"

Kuroko, who was sandwiched between Sirona and Cam, opened his eyes.

He must have woken up when he noticed Sirona's movement.I thought I did something wrong, but Heizi didn't seem to mind, licking Sirona's face.

"Hehe. Good morning."

I held Xiaohei in my arms and stood up so as not to wake Cam.

The villa was very quiet, as if Cochrane hadn't woken up yet.

don't know if it's too early

I feel like my sleep is a bit short, but I don't feel physically tired or sluggish.I felt so relaxed and slept deeper than usual.As expected of Villa Cattelan, the beds in the rooms are of very good quality.Sirona felt that it seemed to be Cattleya who was addicted to sleep.Perhaps because of the quality of the bed, the sleep was deep and high quality.

no it's not right

Of course, this is also one of the factors.But that's not even the biggest factor.

I stroked the head of Cam who was sleeping next to me.Having someone who is important to her around her reassures Sirona and makes her feel more relaxed.

Sirona thought it might be a good idea to consider buying two single beds in the future and sleeping together.Of course, I don't think Cam would shake his head easily in embarrassment.

"Thank you"

After thanking Kaim in a low voice, Sirona quietly left the room with Heizi.

ー ー

The four of us finished the breakfast made by Cochrane and Cam. Cattleya overslept, and Alice and Hikimi were going to go shopping when Cattleya woke up.

Meanwhile, Hakuna and Cam finish their investigation and head to the Pokémon Center.

"Does the Pokémon Center accept it?"

"Yes. We went in because we were investigating, but the ruins themselves can only be seen by ordinary people."

According to Sirona, they seemed to have everything ready except for the camera and other items needed for the recording, and the only things they had were the camera and the swimsuits they wore under their wetsuits.

"It's simple, so everything is fine."

"You'll have less unnecessary worries before investigating. By the way, do you have experience diving with Pokémon? I've heard of skin diving."

"I was once forcibly taken away by my sister."

"what…"

Seeing Kaim's embarrassed expression, Bai Nai wondered whether he was caught off guard or defeated, so he didn't pursue it further.

When I entered the Pokémon Center and headed to the designated location, the guide was already waiting.

"Miss Bai Nai?"

"Yes"

"I am the one who will take you outside the ruins today.
