After eating, the two returned to the hotel.

"What time do you leave tomorrow?"

"yes. I want to be there by 10 o'clock. “

"Then get up at 8 o'clock, including the departure time. The journey is also quite long, and you should be a little tired, so it's best to rest early. “

Kem said as he set the phone's alarm function.

"yes."

"You use the shower first. I'd like to review some data. “

"Oh, can you?"

"You're taking a long shower. Go for it. “

"Okay~"

Sirona took a change of clothes and disappeared into the shower.

Cam watched her leave, turned on her laptop, and connected to a portable hard drive.

He began to organize the data of the photos he had saved today, sorting them into categories that he could understand. First, group by ancient text and decoration, and then put similar content into folders.

Even within the same ruins, the details sometimes differ. Is this the creator's personality, or is it something else? Since the comparison object is only the contents of the Sinto ruins, it is impossible to determine. To delve into these, it is also necessary to investigate the remains of Aluf in the Chotu region.

Unable to conduct a more in-depth analysis in this place, he disconnected from the portable hard drive, as there was no object to compare.

At this time, he noticed that a ball hanging from his waist was shaking slightly, so he released a Pokémon. The Heruga who came out stretched and jumped on Cam's knee, and then jumped on his head.

"It's so heavy."

Being stepped on by it on the head caused a lot of pressure on the neck and was very heavy.

Normally, he would push it away and let it sit on his lap, but he ignored it all day today, so let it move freely.

He smiled wryly as Heiruga lazily relaxed on his head, and the door to the shower opened.

Sirona walked out wearing a shirt, a thin cardan shirt, and shorts.

"Ah, it feels so refreshing."

"Hey, blow dry your hair. I'm going to catch a cold. “

The silky beauty of Sirona's hair reached near her knees, and although she wiped it with a towel, it was still wet. Often, even if it takes a considerable amount of time to dry your hair, you can't even hear the sound of the hair dryer now, so it's clear that it's not blow-drying.

"Give."

For such a Keim, Sirona handed over the hair dryer with a smile on her face, as if to say, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Keim took the hair dryer with a bitter expression on his face.

"You."

"Dry it for me."

Shirona sat in her chair with her back to Kem. She held the Heruga on Kem's head and placed it on her lap. Heruga was moved to his knees, and he didn't particularly look resistant, leaving Shirona at his mercy.

"Don't you usually do it yourself?"

"It's okay. After all, it's a journey. “

"Oh, I see. If you want, you can do it yourself, if you want, you can do it. “

Kem willingly plugs in the hair dryer, flips the switch, and begins to dry Sirona's hair.

"It's really careful."

Didn't you say before, "Hair is a woman's life"? “

"You remember."

"Of course. Although it's not quite clear which method is the right one, if there is anything bad about it, please let me know. “

"So far, it's fine. So be it. “

"Okay."

"By the way, what about the information collected today? Did you find anything? “

"I don't know. This time, I investigated from the perspective of the connection between the Sinto ruins and the Chotu and Sinnoh places. While there is almost no doubt about the connection between the two, why was it built in such a remote place, and the mythology of Sinnoh places is full of elements of the place of Chotu, there is very little information about the place of Chotu. The statues inside look a lot like those of the ruins of Aluf, but no others have been found so far. While there seems to be little controversy between the two, only that statue is clearly informative when it comes to the Chotu place. I wonder if anything ever happened in between. “

"Good perspective. The ruins themselves were discovered not so long ago, and it would be a huge development if there was any understanding of the connection between them. “

"Probably. But if I want to solve this problem, I need to investigate the ruins of Aluf in the Chotu region. Judging by the age of the stone, there is not much difference in the age of the two. “

"The ruins of Aluf also have unknown totems. It's possible to find some clues. “

"Either way, now it's just a matter of collecting as much data as possible. Sooner or later, I'll go to the ruins of Aluf. “

"The excavation of that ruin is almost complete, and you can go there at any time."

The ruins of Sinto are the most recent ones to be discovered. Therefore, the part of Shirona that they have been able to investigate so far is not yet a complete ruin.

Although it felt like there was something hidden in the depths of the three stages, the purpose of their visit this time was not to excavate, but to investigate. Unfortunately, we can only wait for the results of the excavation to be revealed.

"We don't know what that relic will reveal in the future. Whether its history is glorious or gloomy, it is impossible to say. But whatever it is, we need to know how our ancestors lived their lives. This is the mission of archaeologists. “

"I'm just an assistant, right?"

"Since you've helped me, Kem is also one of the best archaeologists. It doesn't matter if the results come out or not. “

““

"And, you're already part of me as a scholar. Thanks to you, I was able to achieve such great results. “

"I'm honored to be able to help you. Well, it's done. “

Kem said as he turned off the switch on the hair dryer and folded the used towel. Sirona's long hair is dry and neat, and she is as beautiful as usual.

"Thank you."

"Since you can do it yourself, do it yourself."

"It's okay to ask me to help once in a while, right?"

"Occasionally. It's a little tiring for me to help every time. “

"Then you can help me once in a while, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I'll be satisfied with what I said, right?"

Knowing that no amount of nonsense would be of use to him, Cam picked up a change of clothes and walked straight to the shower room.

“… If it's just such a return, it's evenly matched. “

Heiruga, who was on Sirona's lap, couldn't understand Sirona's words and tilted his head.

Sirona gently stroked Heruga's head.

"Are you going to sleep in a moment?"

After taking a shower and getting ready for tomorrow, Kem said to Sirona. Tomorrow we will set off early, and there are still some mountain trails that require physical strength. Keim thinks going to bed early is the best option.

"Hmm..."

"What is it?"

"Although the environment is different, it is too wasteful to fall asleep right away."

"Stupid, I still have to use my strength tomorrow, I'd better sleep and recover."

"Yes, but-"

In the face of Sirona's childish whimper, Kem sighed for an unknown number of times.

"I can't think of it at all with my usual attitude, just like a child."

Kem didn't think he would fall asleep right away, so he sat down in the chair provided and crossed his arms.

"Yes?"

"Yes.

"Maybe. But that's definitely me, I'm still me. People have emotions, but they can also be inconsistent. ”

"The appearance and essence are all me"

"Yes, I am who I am. I'm a champion, I'm an archaeologist, and I'm under your care, all of which make up the human being known as 'Shirona'. ”

All of them are different. That's why there are people like Sirona, who are usually very dignified, but very sloppy at home. Some people are biased.

The same goes for Pokemon. A Pokémon that is revered in one region may be considered a disaster in another.

"What is diversity?"

"Yes"

"It's hard."

"Yes.

"Really"

"Okay, let's change the subject, after the investigation, I have a place I want to go."

"Where do you want to go?"

"Altomare, Alamos Town, Njou City, Ubame Forest."

"Is it too much?"

"Now that we've come all the way to the historic Johto area, I thought it might be a good idea to continue sightseeing for a while."

"I'm fine, but is that okay? I have a job as a champion. ”

"It's okay, I've got everything done."

Kem was surprised by Sirona's arrogant expression.

From the beginning, I planned to go sightseeing in the Johto area after completing this survey. The job of a champion shouldn't end so easily. It must have been hard to clean up these days.

"Are you busy these days?"

"Yes"

"As long as it doesn't interfere with the trip, right?"

"I did it! Thank you! ”

Seeing Bai Luona caressing Kem's little black and smiling like a flower, Kem took out his smartphone and began to check the route.

"Yes"

I woke up early in the morning.

I lifted my upper body and saw the face of Cam, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed next to me.

"Your sleeping face is cute, isn't it?"

He usually has almost no expression, and the expressions he occasionally shows are mostly bitter or Buddha-like, and there are usually wrinkles between his eyebrows. However, there was not a trace of wrinkle between the eyebrows on his sleeping face, and it was very calm.

Over the past week or so, I've researched as much as I can on the Saints site. I recorded everything I could, such as the age of the stones, the structure of the carved patterns, and so on.

I'm a little tired, but there's a better result than that. Sirona firmly believes that if you take a hard look at these things, you will definitely get good results.

It's all thanks to the presence of Kem.

Of course, the data itself was collected by Sirona herself. In terms of data, Kem hasn't shifted much because he's working on the parts he's interested in.

But if Sirona were to investigate alone, a week's worth of investigation would not have been completed. There is no doubt that there will always be a rebound somewhere due to the roots being too stuffed.

That's why Kem stopped Sirona at a reasonable time. Kem acted as a brake on her, her concentration was too focused to easily see her surroundings. If it weren't for Kem, Sirona's current physical condition probably wouldn't be so perfect.

"Not applicable"

Sirona stroked the sleeping Kym's head, and Sirona's hand caressed her thick hair.

"Thank you. Well done this week. ”

Sirona looked at the sleeping Cam with a motherly smile on her face.

"It's a good survey."

After checking out of the hotel, Kem looked at Sirona from behind, who was stretching.

The investigation into the remains of Aluf ended yesterday. Of course, since we don't have the full picture yet, the excavation work will continue, and if there is anything I want to confirm, I will investigate again.

"Very interesting place"

"Yes, it would be a good experience to learn about the history of other regions."

"Oh yes"

I had never been to Kaimu in the Johto area before, but I learned a lot about the Johto area through this opportunity. As a result, I was able to learn a lot about the townscape, its character, and its history.

But I only know it as "knowledge". In order to elevate it into an "experience", you need to actually go to the scene and experience it for yourself.

"How? Interesting? ”

"Johto area?"

"Yes. Sinnoh and Johyo, Shinto ruins that show the connection between the two regions. And about the land where the people who left it once lived. “

A few days ago, after the end of her research, Sirona said that most of the places she wanted to visit were in the Johto area. Although Alamos Town is in the Sinnoh region, Shirona obviously wants to go to the Johto area.

However, if Kem refuses, Sirona will obediently give up. As a result, Kem thinks that Shirona may have made him interested in the Johto region.

"Oops"

"What?"

"Is this all part of the calculation?"

"Fufu, what do you think?"

Looking at Sirona, who gracefully placed her index finger to her lips, Kem thought it was confirmed, and hung her shoulders. It seems to be rigged well.

"Yes, yes, I'd love to accompany you, and this investigation has also piqued my interest."

"Okay, that's it!"

"So where are you from?"

"Yes, let's start here now."

I checked Sirona's smartphone and confirmed the location.

"I see, is there any reason?"

"I'm interested in this, aren't you happy with it?"

"Haha, isn't that the best reason?

"yes, nice to meet you."

Seeing that Sirona got into the car in a good mood, Kem set the route on his smartphone and got into the car. I started the engine and started driving along the route indicated by the navigation system.

Sirona and Kaim's little journey begins.
