There will be a lot of things if you want, but Kem won't try to do it. As long as they were all Gym Masters, they probably couldn't think of any choice other than fighting.

"Hey, hey! Can I ask you more questions? ”

"It's okay, but you're almost in love with me, aren't you?"

"Don't come!"

"No, refuse"

Kem's complaint made Shirana and Suzuna laugh.

*

"It's cold"

As I left the store after eating, the cool air caressed my cheeks. Since it is the northernmost city in the Kitakuni Sinnoh region, the cold is quite intense.

"It's still autumn in the world, but Keizaki City is already as cold as the middle of winter. I love the cold. ”

The skirt of the high school uniform is knee-length. It feels cold just by looking at it, but Suzuna is calm.

"This cold is also one of the characteristics of this land."

"Yes, I've been to a lot of cities, but somehow, I seem to like this place."

"I'm obsessed with it."

"Feelings are important, aren't they?

As he spoke, Bai Nai turned his gaze to Kem, who was standing beside him. Noticing this sentence and his gaze, Kem understood the meaning of the sentence and nodded slightly.

"Oh yes"

I want to know. More about each other.

Both Sirona and Kaim had the same idea. I want to know everything about each other and make it my own. There is a feeling similar to this desire for exclusivity. As a result, the conversation between the two has never stopped. Get to know each other. And allow it.

"Thank you for today. Sunai sauce. "

"Nope! It's also fun to chat with Miss Sirona! "

Not only does he learn about Sirona's private life, but it is extremely important for Suzuna, both in battle and on course. Nothing was decided today. Still, the stories of the seniors are helpful. This is even more true when it comes to champions.

"Are you two going home tomorrow?"

"That's the plan."

"Really? I have to go to school during the day, so I may not be able to send you. ”

"Don't worry, I'll be glad to see you."

"Thank you.

As soon as the unexpected words came out, Bai Nai reacted.

"Public baths?"

"Yes, it's where there is a chimney over there, it's off-season, and the open-air bath can almost be rented out!"

The snow season is about to begin, but there are still very few people. Therefore, until this time, all the facilities were available as you like.

"Ah, are you interested? Want to join us? ”

"Uh, is that okay?"

"Yes.

Hearing Suzuna's words, Hakuna turned her gaze to Kem. Kem noticed the gaze and reacted immediately.

"Isn't it? I'm interested too. ”

"It's the rule! Bring a change of clothes and meet in the building with the chimney! ”

"I got it"

"Okay, see you in the hall in 45 minutes."

"Ahh

Bringing a change of clothes, the group went to the public bath, which was divided into men's and women's baths. I entered the locker room with Suzuna and walked into the bathroom with the necessary items.

Inside is a large communal bath with a large bathtub made of cypress. Except for Shirana and Suzuna, there were only two or three guests, and it was quiet, probably because it was a little late.

"It's huge."

"You can go to the open-air bath from the door over there, let's go later!"

"Yes, anyway"

The two of them washed their bodies with the shower gel provided by the bathhouse. Seeing how Shirona washed her body, Suzuna said as she washed it.

"Miss Sirona, you have long hair, right? Isn't it difficult to take care of? "

"？ Ah, yes. It's true that it's sometimes troublesome after a long time, but it's been a long time since I've gotten used to it. "

"Your hair is long and beautiful, I envy you!"

"To be honest, drying in the sun is more troublesome than simple maintenance.

"Nag?"

"It's Kem. If you're soaked, you're going to catch a cold. Wipe it off. ”

Because I've been scolded for all sorts of things, I'm not sure what exactly is being said so much. I've been getting used to being nagged lately, so I haven't been complained about much, but I've been living together a lot.

"Ah, let's put it this way. I've heard that sumo wrestling is also often called out, so I can understand how it goes. "

"You are so careful, you take good care of me, when Xiao Xiangtao goes to the gym, I make her a bento almost every day."

'He said!' The rice made by Mr. Keim was delicious. 'Great. I want to try it too. ”

"Next time you come to my house, let's go when the time comes."

"If you have the chance, come ahead!"

So Suzuna asks Shirona what part of the conversation makes her uncomfortable.

“？ The two of you live together, don't you? ”

"Yes. Didn't I tell you? ”

"Wow! You look like a lover! ”

"We lived together before we started dating."

At first, Kem is reluctant because a man who doesn't even have a date lives with a woman, but when Sirona says she wants to clean the room, clean the room, she relents. In fact, there are many benefits to living in a Shirona home. You can browse materials related to the myths and relics owned by Sirona at any time, and if you use Sirona's home network, you can order and read restricted papers from Myocity's library. This was a great advantage for Kem himself, as he was able to study archaeology. Also, at this time, Kem was already thinking about Sirona. There is hardly any benefit to refusal.

"It's amazing. In this episode you can really see the mutual trust. ”

"More than half of that is my selfishness."

"Even so, it looks like Mr. Cam will forgive me."

"Whew, yes.

"It's kind of surprising. Mr. Kem has a very stoic image. ”

"I see."

Suzuna's words made Hakuna pause for a moment, and then began to speak.

"Because I'm stoic, I can use this to discipline myself, but I'm well aware that other people are different from me."

Shirona said as she spat out bubbles. Apply the rinse to your hair and care for it.

"It's hard."

"Hehe, in short, be strict with yourself and treat others sweetly."

"Ahh Then I get the idea! Mr. Kem feels like a loving older brother. ”

"Of course. Although I am older, I am always taken care of. ”

Almost all the housework is left to Kem. Therefore, the current situation is equivalent to being taken care of all the time. Sometimes I wonder what it's like to get old, but to be honest, I don't feel bad about being taken care of. I've always been able to do things on my own until I met Kem, but it was easy for me to let him do it, and at the same time, I'm happy to feel like we're supporting each other.

While talking to Hakuna, Hakuna and Suzuna completed the purification of their whole bodies. At first, the two of us soaked in the cypress bathtub. At that time, the two did not forget to tie their hair tightly with a headband so as not to stick to the bathtub.

"Whew feels good."

"Wouldn't it be nice to take a big shower? I come here about once a week. ”

"That's good~. I don't know if I can come to a place like this once in a while. "

"Ahaha! Sirona-san, your voice is too hoarse. "

"It feels good.

After a while, the two of them were warmed by hot water.

As she did so, Suzuna lifted her body out of the hot water.

"Would you like to go to the open-air bath before you warm up?"

"Yes. Let me join you. ”

Shirona also lifted herself from the bathtub and walked with Suzuna to the open-air bath. The open-air bath is made of stone and is surrounded by a large fence made of bamboo.

"Yes, there's an atmosphere."

"It's already cold at this time, let's go in early."

"Yes"

The two of them soaked in the stone bathtub. Because it was outside, the cold outside and the warmth of the hot water coexisted very well, and Sirona's whole body was wrapped in a pleasant feeling that was different from the previous cypress bath.

"Oh, it feels so good"

"Really. I come here often but it still feels good, so I'll come back often. ”

"I know that feeling. It feels so good. ”

Seeing Shirona exhale, Suzuna smiled.

"Do you know the merits of Keizaki City?"

"yes. There's history, there's delicious food, and there's a comfortable bath. That's enough to tell you that it's a good place. ”

"Welcome back."

"Yes. I'll be back with Kem. ”

Bai Nai said as she looked up at the sky. The sky was clear and I could see some stars, as bright as the lights that lit up the bathtub.

"Hey, Suzuna-chan."

Bai Nai said to Suzuna with some hesitation.

"Yes"

"Suzuna-chan that"

“？”

"Do you know how to make desserts?"

Suzuna's sudden words made her eyes turn into dots.

"I can do it like a normal person, but what happened?"

"Well, I didn't say it, but I'm generally not good at housework. But I really want to learn how to make dim sum, so I'm looking for someone to teach me. "”

That being the case, Suzuna thinks it's good for Kem to teach her, but she soon realizes that she's asking herself because she can't do it.

So why doesn't Kem teach? There are several candidates for the answer, but Suzuna is talking about the most likely one.

"Ah, is that Mr. Kem?"

Suzuna's words made Bai Nai's face blush slightly and nodded.

"On Valentine's Day, I wanted to give you something handmade. So far, I've given you some of the things I bought, but this time I'm officially in love, so I'd like to send you something that I made myself. ”

By the way, Kem returned the dessert he made to Shirona on White Day. I have fond memories of Shirona and her Pokémon hanging out in the kitchen, picking them up as they make fresh candy.

Hearing Sirona's words, Suzuna's eyes lit up.

"Great! After all, I want to give handmade things to someone I like! ”

"Yes. Now I'm learning normal cooking from Kem, but I haven't learned sweets yet. So I wanted to practice secretly and surprise Kem. ”

I wanted to surprise Kem, his expression barely moved. I want to prove that I can grow like Kem. Hakunai took action based on this idea.

"I'll cooperate with you! Just convey your passion to the people you love! ”

"Suzuna-chan, have you ever given something that someone else made with your own hands?"

"Yes, I don't have a boyfriend now, but I used to have a boyfriend."

Hearing this, Bai Nai smiled bitterly. I felt Suzuna's femininity because she was very different from me, and I had never been in a relationship, let alone a boyfriend, until she reached this age.
