“.…..” Woke up, Kamijo opened his eyes.

？

It's already dark?

Puzzled, Kamijo suddenly remembered something, and reached out and grabbed the small hand that covered his eyes.

"Ah......h

"yes. Meaningless greetings, Kamijo gently rubbed his cheek against Hitomi's warm palm, and after gradually becoming fully awake, he let go, and slowly got up.

It's just that even if the little hand without a pupil covers the light source, it is still pitch black all around—after all, it was already evening when I went to sleep.

Stumbling, Shangjo flipped out his phone. I was going to look at the time, but I don't know if it's because the relationship that was pulled into the water by Meiyun before has been completely unable to start.

"Well~" Scratching the hedgehog's head, Kamijo glanced at the moon above his head and said to Hitomi, "Let's find a place to rest first." ”

"Yes. Hitomi nodded.

"Okay, then ......" Kamijo stood up and twisted his body, making a "click, click" stretching sound between his bones.

Then he took out the Pokéball that was playfully popped and made it use [Flash] as lighting.

After doing these preparatory exercises, Kamijo half-squatted in front of Hitomi: "Let's go." With that, Kamijo reached out to pick Hitomi up.

"The subordinates themselves can ...... Ahh

"Naughty bullet, gone. ”

"marururu~" shook his ball-shaped body, and finally stabilized the [flash] brightness of the naughty bullet and walked down the hill along the path he had come.

Isn't there any leakage? It seems that the naughty bullet is recovering......

"Ahh

！

A sudden sneeze nearby startled Kamijo.

What's going on??

Suppressing the fierce heartbeat, Kamijo cautiously poked towards the bushes that made the sound - but didn't notice that Hitomi's face was a little unpleasant.

"Maru!" he didn't want to, but the naughty bullet suddenly crashed straight into the bushes that made the sound.

Boom!

"Ahh

With a muffled sound, a young man in a Western-style dress sat up from the bush with his head in his hands, and the cloak behind his back became tattered in the screeching sound of "stabbing".

“.…..” Kamijo, whose face is full of black lines, instinctively wants to put the naughty bullet into the Pokéball, but he is still holding Hitomi, and there is no other light source near the naughty bullet except for the naughty bullet...... Hesitating slightly, Kamijo put down his pupil first, and then asked the young man in strange clothes (in this environment):

"Hello, you... That one... Are you alright?"

！

"Hmph, who do you think I am!" Kamijo didn't expect that compared to surprise, the young man seemed to be paying more attention to his image than instinct - obviously the corners of his eyes were still twitching, but he was the first to stand up and respond, and he seemed to be very careless about arranging his collar.

However, in fact, because of the sudden movement in the bushes, almost only the collar of his clothes remained in the finished appearance.

"Ahem. Kamijo coughed dryly and reminded, "Excuse me, ...... you are here"

"Hmm~" The young man put his hand on his chin and made a contemplative expression: "I was originally walking in the air under the guidance of the north wind, but I didn't expect the sudden change of tide to attract ......"

"Naughty bullet, gone. Shangjo, whose face was full of black lines, waved his hand, and did not continue to listen to this person's intention to continue "literature and art".

"Oh?" Seeing Kamijo turn around, the young man screamed violently.

？

Before Kamijo came back to his senses, the young man was directly pressed to the ground by Hitomi.

“.…..” Judging from the posture, the young man was going to pounce on Mr. Kamijo before he was pushed down, and the poker in his hand ..... the ace of spades?

Kamijo looked at the young man suspiciously.

"Please call me a magician. The young man who was pressed to the ground in embarrassment was not embarrassed at all, but said lightly: "I can forgive you for your rudeness to me, after all, this card drawn from behind your back shows ...... Ahh

"...... that, Hitomi, stop it, let's go. Even Kamijo, who was a bystander, felt embarrassed and waved his hand to let Hitomi go.

I was surprised at first, but it didn't look like Mr. Uejo had thought it would.

"Anyway, if you treat me well, you'll let you meet very important people next!" But he didn't expect the young man to continue to talk nonsense anyway

"Hitomi! Stop!" really, it's not good to say anything......

".....Yes, Lord. Hitomi, who appeared behind the young man, withdrew her action to knock him unconscious.

Finally, this time, the young man was also frightened by Hitomi's murderous aura and did not dare to move. Merely......

Mutter~~~

Sometimes human instinct is irrepressible.

Hey..... this cheeky hunger setting......

Kamijo sighed silently in his heart, and then said to the young man: "If you need help, let's go together, although there is no way to get to the city now, Mr. Kamijo still remembers the location of several houses when he came." ”

"All right, then let's go quickly!" the young man suddenly regained his vitality.

"Hey, hey~" Shangjo scratched the hedgehog's head, beckoned Naughty Bullet and Hitomi again, and several people walked towards the mountain path together.

------------------------ dividing line---------------------

Knock knock.

"Hello, is anyone home?" asked Kamijo knocking on the iron door.

- Of course there are people, after all, they found a light source on the mountain road and walked there. However, when Kamijo got closer, he realized that this was not an ordinary house:

Not to mention the strange antenna on the roof and the unclear equipment, the image of the whole house alone is ...... It's so clean. I didn't see the configuration of the fenced roof backyard at all, as if a few wooden boxes were placed directly on the flat ground in the mountains. It feels like ......

"Oh, wait a minute, come right now!" came the shouts of a young man, and then after a series of "knock-knock" footsteps and a strange "clanging" sound, "Here we go!"

“.…..” Why is this situation so familiar?

Squeak~

The turn of the iron door made an unexpectedly sour sound.

"It's coming, it's coming, huh, you're ...... Who?" A young man in a white lab coat who was still nervously buttoning opened the door, and looked up and couldn't help but be stunned. He scratched his messy orange hair with a puzzled face, and looked at the two people in front of him with dark circles and heavy eyes, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.

This outfit and the outside situation...... Is this a research station in the field?

"Hello, we are ......"

"It seems that you have some trouble~" Shangjo just hesitated, and the words were immediately snatched by the young man on the side: "Come~ Let me see ......" As he spoke, the young man circled around the orange-haired researcher.

Suddenly, the young hand pulled out a card of clubs 3 from the researcher's white coat pocket.

"Well, plum 3. 3 is the traveler, and the plum blossom represents ......"

"I'm sorry, we just want to spend the night here, is it convenient?" Kamijo, who couldn't look at it, grabbed the young man's hand holding the playing card and asked the researcher sincerely—and motioned with his eyes to the young man to stop playing tricks.

"Please don't worry, Mr. Kamijo is not a suspicious person. As he spoke, Kamijo also took out the ID card representing the rescue team.

"It's okay to stay overnight, but there are no other rooms in the institute, so if you'd like to be careful in the reception room......" the researcher said embarrassedly.

"That's fine, thank you very much. Kamijo said.

"If there is food, it is not unacceptable. The young man said, throwing something to the researcher: "This is a concentrated and purified fruit clot, you should be able to rest well after eating it - of course, now that we two outsiders are here, remember to lock us up." ”

"What's the excuse about that? And it's going to be remodeled soon, so there's nothing to worry about. The researcher said as he put the clot in his pocket, then pointed in one direction, "The kitchen is over there, Mr. Kamijo and this ......"

"Nanqi, the water lord hunter Nanqi. "Youth—Nan Qi said.

Water Hunter?

The researcher didn't react, but Kamijo was very curious about the title, but he thought about it...... This is definitely self-proclaimed, isn't it!But isn't Mizu-kun a legendary Pokémon in the Johto region?Why is this "hunter" in the most remote area of Kanto?

"My name is Zhenghui. In short, then Shangjo and Nanqi are at your own convenience. Researcher - Masaki left as he spoke, muttering words like "not there yet" and "shouldn't be" along the way.

"Anyway, Nan Qisan, let's settle dinner first. Looking at the clock on the wall, Kamijo decided to rest after his "dinner" - although Kamijo slept until late at night, he didn't want Hitomi to stay up any longer.

"Okay!" Nan Qi jumped up from the sofa at once, untied his tattered cloak and red bow tie, rolled up his sleeves and looked full of energy: "Let you see the great chef Nan Qi ......"

"Hey, hey, hey~ Let's go together, hurry up. "I didn't expect this Nanqi to be a doer.

Thinking in his heart, Kamijo had already put down his duffel backpack and walked towards the kitchen.

……

Although there is only one passage between the reception room and the kitchen, it is surprisingly long, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows facing out should have a good view during the day. On the other side of the wall, facing inward, there are many photos, most of which are photos of Zhenghui and the researcher in the same white coat......

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, Kamijo saw three photos of Masaki and Dr. Ohki in various periods.

Is it an acquaintance of Dr. Ohki?~ Anyway, I should leave tomorrow, but I don't have anything to worry about now.

Scratching the hedgehog's head, Kamijo quickened his pace and walked into the not-so-large kitchen at Nanqi's urging.
