"At the end of the day, I think I'm just chasing my sister's back."

"What do you think of Kem himself?"

"I've been thinking about it here for a long time, and until now, I still have an inferiority complex, I don't know if it's because I'm yearning for it, and I feel ill-intentioned."

Kem whispered as he touched Bashamo's head. Even Cam doesn't seem to know what kind of feelings he has for his sister.

"Bai Nai, why did you start fighting?"

"Me? I don't think so, I don't think there's any particular reason. I just love Pokémon and am interested in fighting. “

"I see"

"Kem, he admires Miss Isana, doesn't he?"

"Yes, I admire you, or rather, I think it's cool to see you fight, so I want to be like you."

As a result, I couldn't be as smart as Isana, failed many times, and continued to train without refinement.

"I want to know what kind of person my sister is for me now."

With the help of Sirona and N, Kem overcomes his bad habits. However, that was only a pure battle story, and the fundamental problem of lack of self-confidence has not yet been resolved.

In order to act on this, Kem must once again confront the source of the problem, Isana.

"I'm sure it's important to you. You have to think about it, face it, and find out. ”

"Yes, I know. I don't think I'm going to change dramatically because I got this answer. But I'm sure that one day I'll be able to proudly stand by Sirona's side. “

I feel like I'm getting stronger. The best proof of this is that I am serious about sumo. But it's not enough. Compared to Bai Nai, her abilities as a trainer and her knowledge as a scholar are far from mature. There is no reason to rest on your laurels.

"Yes. You already know what you need. ”

The once wandering and hard-working Kaim is gone.

I'm glad that as a teacher, what I can do is decreasing little by little. Nothing makes me happier than growing up as a disciple. But I felt a little, a little, a little lonely.

"I probably don't have much more to do."

"Haha, no. As a trainer and academic, I am not mature enough. No matter how far I go, I will continue to be a disciple of Sirona. “

"Yes. I am happy. ”

Keim stood up and let Bashamo get back on the ball.

"I've been around for too long. The date has changed. ”

"Ah, it's not surprising that there are so many."

"I'm sorry, I'm still with you at such a late hour."

"It's true. I want an apology. ”

"I get it, okay, it's my fault this time."

Seeing Sirona purse her lips, Kem folded her arms. Shirona may not want to do anything right now, but Kem thinks it would be better to take some kind of action.

I suddenly had an idea, so I decided to implement it.

"Shirona"

Stopped by Kem, I turned my gaze there. Then there were the eyes, and in front of him was Cam's face.

I felt a soft touch on my forehead.

When I'm in love, Kem's face disappears.

After a while, Sironana realized what she had done, and her face flushed.

"Air..."

"Because something similar happened to me in Sawana Town before.

“~~~！”

I could feel my face burning. Shirona usually attacks most of the time, but Kem never fights back or even attacks at the beginning. So, although Bai Nai is used to being attacked, she is not used to being attacked at all. Although they are sometimes counterattacked, the number of attacks is overwhelmingly low. In addition, Keim's counterattack was also a blockbuster. For Sirona, who is not used to it, this is a one-hit kill.

"Oh, it seems to work."

Sirona puffed out her cheeks and pulled at Kem's.

"Stay"

"It's already! I'm going home! ”

"Don't be angry, even if you do, you're beautiful."

"I'm not going to get carried away."

Shirona took Kaim's hand and covered her mouth with one hand to hide her flushed face. It is to let you not see your face relax while being emotionally counterattacked and unfaithful.

"Do you want to go home?"

“… Yes"

Kem lined up beside Sirona, who was walking in front, and then left holding hands.

The sound of the silent waves echoes as night falls.

Day 3 in the Hoenn region

The time is before 7:30 a.m.

Early in the morning, the shadows of four people appeared in the port.

"Good morning, Lucia-chan."

"Good morning! I've kept you waiting~"

"It's okay, they've just arrived."

This is a cute and active outfit, with a hoodie, shorts, and sneakers, which is completely different from the usual idol outfit.

"Thank you for letting me be with you today."

Lucia politely bowed her head to Sirona. Seeing this, Shirona told her not to worry.

"It doesn't matter. This is also the request of Ori-san. “

"I'm really glad to have the opportunity to show you a world I didn't know about! I'd like to talk to Miss Sirona more. ”

"Huhuhu, it's an honor to be said so by an idol."

"Mr. Kem, how is today?"

"Oh, nice to meet you."

Lucia then turned to Isana.

"Nice to meet you! My name is Lucia, I am with you today, please take care of me! ”

"Oh~ it's true, it's really cute. Nice to meet you, I'm Isana. I'm Cam's sister. Today I am going to be the pilot of this ship. Nice to meet you. ”

The two introduced themselves and shook hands.

After saying hello, Sirona began to speak.

"I think you all understand the purpose of today, but I'm going to go to the place where the chart Dr. Odo has entrusted me to see what's there. Truth be told, the provenance is very uncertain, and there is a good chance that there is nothing. But I'm sure that the old man entrusted to me by Dr. Odo must have hidden something important in this place. Whatever it is, I want to know. ”

According to Dr. Oto, "I entrusted him with the map because I knew he was a kind man. In other words, if the bad guys know where this chart indicates, something terrible can happen.

They have a strong intellectual curiosity, but sometimes their presence needs to be protected. The duties of a champion and the curiosity of a scholar. What kind of ideas did you entrust to Dr. Odo from these two positions? Shirona wanted to know this.

"Miss Isana, please take me to this island. I will guarantee your safety along the way. ”

"Fufu, you're too reliable.

"Then let's go. Keim, what's your luggage? ”

"It's already loaded, you can go at any time."

"Thank you"

"Get on the boat, I'll take you to the island!"

Listening to Isana's pleasant words, Sirona and Lucia boarded the ship. Seeing the two get into the car, Kem was stopped by Isana when he tried to follow them.

"Keim"

"Yes"

Isanna, who stopped Kem, was completely different from before, with a serious expression on her face.

"On the way, can we talk for a while?"

"Oh, I want to talk to you too."

"So, watch the timing and talk to me."

Isana boarded the ship with a shallow smile.

Kem looked at its back for a moment, then followed.
