"It's a beautiful city"

After walking for a while, Bai Nai found something that resembled an entrance, leading somewhere.

Unlike the entrance to the secret garden of Altomaré, it does not have a hidden feeling. Altomaré's gardens are hidden because they are the base necessary to protect the city itself, but this is rare. I'm worried about a lot of people.

"Is this the garden?"

When I entered through the entrance, I came to a garden with a fountain.

The quiet and bright garden is a very cosy place.

"It's beautiful"

"Oh, is it so?"

When I looked in the direction from which the voice came, I saw a blonde woman standing there. The pink dress with the black tights has a gentle atmosphere.

"Are you the champion Sirona?"

"Yes, yes."

"Wow! It's amazing! I've never seen someone so famous! ”

The woman was a little excited, and corrected her place in a surprised voice.

"Sorry, I'm so excited. I've seen it on Battle TV before"

"Hehe, I'm glad you saw me."

"Hey, hey, I'm late. I'm Alice. ”

"Mr. Alice. As you probably know, I'm Sirona. ”

Sirona held out her hand, and Alice grabbed it and shook it.

"I didn't expect Sirona to come to Alamostown."

"I'm also an archaeologist.

"Academic conference! The next archaeological meeting will be held in the hall. ”

A woman who calls herself Alice knows about the existence of the Soka Gakkai. Maybe she herself has something to do with the meeting or the venue.

"Oh, you know what?"

"Yes, I'm also a tour guide in the city, so I know about what to do in the city."

"You're a guide, aren't you?"

Outwardly, Alice is younger than Keim, about the age of a student. Still, I feel admiration and sympathy for the fact that I am also a tour guide.

"Do you want me to show you around this town?"

"Oh, that makes me happy. Can you tell me more about this town? ”

"Leave it to me! I'll take you on a tour of this garden first. ”

Walk through the garden in the company of Alice.

The garden is well maintained and you can see wild Pokémon like Mukuru and Honey.

Be. There are some characters, albeit in small numbers.

"The garden was designed a long time ago by an architect named Gordy.

"It's nice to have a place where people and Pokémon can touch."

As Alice said, this place is designed to be comfortable for both people and Pokémon. It's quite rare to find a place where you can stand on both sides. There are many patterns that humans can make, but you can see that this garden is very considerate of Pokémon.

"There are also a lot of things in this garden. Roads decorated with mosaic colors, temple-like buildings, and even fountains. ”

"You can tell that Mr. Gordy is a wonderful architect. When was this garden completed? ”

"According to the data, it was more than a hundred years ago, and the time and time when the Tower of Time and Space were built are almost the same."

"Could it be that Mr. Gordy is the one who built the Tower of Time and Space?"

"Yes. Mr. Gordy was involved in many of the things left behind in the city. ”

I don't know how long Alamos Town has been around, but I know from Alice's story that Gordy was involved in the development of the town.

"You developed this town, right?"

"Yes.

"Oh, is that so? You're in a relationship with an amazing person. ”

"I've heard stories from my grandmother many times.

Alice's tone raised slightly when she talked about her grandmother. It seems that Alice has a lot of affection for her grandmother.

"I used to listen to my grandmother tell stories at this fountain. There is not only the story of Mr. Gordy, but also the story of the Tower of Time and Space and 'that Pokémon'. ”

Alice said wistfully as she looked at the fountain in front of her. From Alice's gaze, Sirona guessed that the fountain would be an important place for Alice to remember her grandmother.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's all my relative's business"

"This place is a place for you and your grandmother to remember."

"Yes. I used to have my grandmother play the flute here.

Looking at Alice's embarrassed smile, Sirona smiled.

From Alice's words, I felt a certain love for my family. Perhaps it was because of his love for her that he told Sirona about his memories of her when he first met her. Of course, Bai Nai is not the kind of person who would feel uncomfortable with this. On the contrary, I think it's nice to hear Alice's touching story.

"Miss Alice, you know how to play the flute, right?"

"Yes. I can play some songs. ”

"It's amazing. What type of music can you play? ”

"There are a lot of things I can do.

"Oh, do you know how to read sheet music?"

"Yes.

Alice usually studied music at a music school, and working as a tour guide seems to be part of her part-time job.

Shirona speculated that her grandmother's influence may have been the reason for her decision to pursue a career in music.

"You're a student at a music school, so you can read sheet music."

"Yes, as a person who studies music, it is natural to know how to read sheet music."

"yes, hey, if you don't mind, can you try playing something on the straw flute?"

Sirona had never heard a flute before. I know Kusafue, but I haven't been exposed to music so far, so I've never heard it live. So I was interested in Kusabue and I wanted to hear about it if I could, so I asked Alice.

I thought I was going to be rejected because of the suddenness, but Alice reacted differently.

"If there's as good as mine, I'll show you!"

"I'm very happy. I beg you. ”

"Yes"

Alice plucked a leaf from a nearby bush and sat by the fountain. Sirona also sat next to Alice and listened to Alice's performance.

Alice put her mouth on the leaf and began to blow. Its voice was so clear that it was hard to believe that it was a grass flute, and it sounded comfortably in Bai Nai's ears. Alice was playing a strange tune. The song is solemn, but gentle and beautiful. It looks like a sad song. It's a song that makes me feel calm when I listen to it.

Sirona clapps Alice as she finishes blowing. Alice smiled happily.

"Thank you, that's a very wonderful tone."

"Thank you. I'm glad you said that. ”

"What is this song called? It's the first time I've heard it. ”

The song I heard just now was a song that Sirona had never heard in her life. I don't know what song it is, but Shirona loves it.

"It's a song called Oracion. My grandmother told me. ”

"What song is this Olasion?"

"I don't quite know what song it is, but I do know it's a song that has a healing and soothing Pokémon effect."

"yes, this song is good"

Sirona also loves the song Oracion. Not only does it make you feel calm when you listen to it, but you can feel the kindness in this song just by listening to it. A song so refined that even Sirona, who was supposed to be an amateur, could understand it. I don't know if the person who wrote the song was Alice's grandmother Gordy or someone else, but I felt like I added something important to the song.

"It's a great song. I'm a music amateur, but I'm sure you can tell I've put something important into this song. ”

"Oracion means 'prayer' in foreign languages."

"Pray, pray"

I don't know what kind of prayer the composer put into it. But I know it's a well-intentioned prayer. The song "Oracion" that contains this prayer has been passed down to this day, and Sirona feels the greatness of human connection.

"It's amazing. This song is called Oracion, and there is a history of you who inherited this song. ”

"I'm honored to hear Sirona say that. I'm sure my grandmother would be proud. ”

"I'd be happy if you could say that."

Alice stood up and held out her hand to Sirona.

"Then let's go to the next place! Next up is the Plane Tower. ”

"Please"

Sirona took Alice's hand and stood up and chased after her.

"This is the Tower of Time"
