"It's the countryside, isn't it?"

"Uh, okay"

"Hehe, you don't have to worry, it's like this."

Kanaji Town is actually my friend, and I haven't even reopened the store. It seems that the only public facilities are the Pokémon Center and the newly renovated Community Center.

After driving for a while, I got off the highway and immediately entered the town of Kaminagi.

"This is Kanagi Town"

"It's a small town."

We drove through the town and stopped in front of a large house north of Kanagi Town. As I parked the car on the vacant spot on the site and got out of the car, I saw a woman come out of the house, probably hearing a voice.

"Ah, sister. Welcome back. "

"I'm home. Thank you for the welcome. ”

The woman who came out looked like Sirona and had blonde hair as beautiful as Sirona. Unlike Sirona, her hair is cut shorter than her shoulders and her eyes are hidden in opposite directions, making it easier to distinguish her from Sirona.

The woman turned her gaze to Kem.

"Could it be this person?"

"Yes, I'll introduce you."

Sirona turned her gaze to Kem and introduced him to the woman.

"He's Keim. He was my assistant. ”

"I'm Kem. Nice to meet you. ”

"Hey! You're Mr. Keim! ”

The woman held out her hand to Kem and began to introduce herself.

"I'm Crona. Sister: I'm Sirona's sister. Nice to meet you, Mr. Keim! "

A woman, Krona, called herself so. Sirona gives a cold impression, while Krona gives a lively impression. Her hairstyle may be impressive, but it's probably because her voice is similar to Sirona's, but the way she speaks is lively.

Keim shook Croner's hand and responded with a handshake.

"Nice to meet you"

"Yes! But hehe. ”

Krona stared at Cam's face and muttered in admiration.

"Mr. Kem, it's amazing that you can abandon that sister."

"Hey, Krona!"

"Really? He was my sister's first boyfriend, and my sister had never been interested in being in a relationship. ”

As Sirona says, she doesn't seem to have shown any interest in love until she met Kem. As a relative, Sirona has a boyfriend after all, which must be a surprising fact.

"Well, I'll tell you later. Please come in. ”

With that, Crona hurried home. Shirona, who had been left behind, sighed and looked at Cam.

"I'm sorry.

"Don't worry, don't think about it."

Keim said as he unloaded his luggage from the car.

"Thank you, let's go."

"Yes"

Sirona and Cam followed Krona into the house. Sirona's parents' house is a wooden house, and although it looks old from the outside, it is surprisingly not old on the inside.

"I'm at home"

“… Excuse me."

"Here~"

As I walked to the front door, I saw Kroner poking his head out of the back room and waving to me. When I went to Crona, there was an old woman sitting on the sofa in the living room with Crona.

When Sirona and Kaim appeared, the old woman slowly opened her eyes and stared at them.

"You're here."

"Grandma, I'm back."

"Welcome back, come in, it must be cold."

"Wellly"

As soon as Sirona entered the living room, she took off her coat and threw it casually. Keim caught the coat before it fell to the floor.

"Oh, that's amazing."

“… Every time. ”

Because Shirona was relaxing in the basic house, everything was sloppy. Maybe it's because of the familiar space of my parents' house, the usually sloppy switch is turned on.

Kem hung Sirona's coat on the hanger that Krona gave him, and then hung his coat on the hanger and handed it to Krona. Then face the old woman in front of you.

"Nice to meet you"

“。 I heard about you from Sirona. You're Kem. ”

"Yes"

"Uh, isn't that pretty? I heard that you are a disciple of Sirona, but judging by the situation just now, the butler seems to be more suitable. "

Kem smiled wryly in front of the smiling old woman. Sirona puffed out her cheeks, but she seemed to realize it and said nothing.

"Anyway, sit down, you can't speak calmly while standing."

"Ah, yes. I'm sorry. ”

Kem sat down on the couch recommended by the old woman, and Sirona sat next to him. Krona set four cups of tea on the table and sat down on the chair next to the old woman.

"I have to give my name too. I'm Aina. I'm Sirona's grandmother. "

"I'm Kaim, Shirona's disciple and assistant. Nice to meet you. "

"Oh, nice to meet you. I've heard about you from your grandson. ”

"Is that so?"

Grandchildren, that means Krona also heard about it. Kem meets Krona for the first time, but Cam sipps tea while thinking that what Sirona said to Krona has been conveyed to Aina.

"It's almost a love story, though."

“Nh-gu”

I almost erupted involuntarily, but Kem held back. Kem, who spit out tea before they met, admired it in his heart and turned his gaze to Shirona next to him. Sirona looked away in embarrassment, her cheeks flushing slightly.

“… Is that so?"

"It's okay, as long as we know that our grandson is okay, everything is fine."

"I'm curious about your sister's boyfriend, but please don't chatter, I want to vomit."

"I—I'm sorry"

Shirona turned her gaze to Keim and said.

"I'm sorry, Kem. You don't like to be talked about too much, do you? ”

"Oh no, it's embarrassing, but to be honest, I'm glad someone thinks I'm rude. I don't want to say anything about it. ”

“… Thank you"

"There.

Aina's words surprised the two of them, and they looked away. Aina laughed and teased the two.

"If only we were good friends, we were here, you have to take care of yourself."

"Oh, Grandma! We're not that clingy! ”

"What do you say? It's not strange to sit next to you, but do you need to be so close that your shoulders touch? Considering the size of the sofa, it shouldn't be so close! So, "What about what about our conversation?" You can't deny that you're flirting like you're breathing. ”

"Ahh

Seeing Sirona being scolded, Kem curiously observed the conversation between the two. No one who usually scolds Sirona can scold her. This is partly due to Sirona's own position, but also because Sirona goes into out-of-home mode when there are other people, and others don't have a chance to say such things to her.

Kem felt that Shirona had become so strange and warm in front of her family.

"It's true that until now, I haven't seen a man at all, but now that I'm having a lover for the first time, that's it, it's much better than falling in love with a bad man."

"I was worried about when I would get married because I was just working, but now I don't think I have to worry."

"。 There are a lot of extremes, so sister. "

Aina and Krona make Shirona flinch. Hearing these harsh words, Bai Nai was completely speechless. Seeing Shirona like this, Kem sighed softly.

"Keim"

"Yes"

Stopped by Aina, Kem straightened her back. Seeing the look of Kem, Aina stood up.

"Don't worry. I want to get to know you. Nice to meet you. ”

"Thank you"

"I see. Like I've heard, you look serious. You seem to like Sirona a lot. "

"Grandmother!"

"What's the matter? You heard it right. ”

"yes, yes, but"

Sirona whispered in a voice that seemed to fade away. It was the first time Kaim had seen Shirona so cunning. In fact, Kem was also mostly defeated by his family. I don't know if my father was the only one who could speak as an equal.

"Keim"

"Oh yes"

"I heard you're here for the meeting.

Aina smiled as she spoke, her face very similar to the one Sirona had when she smiled. That smile shows that there is a blood relationship.

“… Yes"

Seeing Keim, who nodded slightly, Aina smiled like Sirona again.

*

"If you're already a grandma"

Shirona said as she walked around Kaminagi Town. Hearing this, Kem said to Sirona in a slightly provocative tone.

"You're a good parent."

"It's been a long time since a customer came, so I'm happy."

Seeing that Sirona had become a little bloated, Kem smiled slightly. Looking back, I remember that I had a lot of fun with Taki during that time.

"If an important member of the family comes, the family will be happy."

“… Maybe so. ”

"I also want to meet your sister's husband."

Someone who is important to your family. Even Kaim could understand his desire to meet the man. I wondered what kind of person I would marry, a free-spirited Isana, but after all, Kem could understand my pure desire to meet him.

"Yes. That's it. ”

"Ahh

"But I'm glad you've been accepted into my family."

"To be honest, I was really nervous."

I'm not here to welcome the engagement, but honestly, if someone tells me something like "you're not going to have grandchildren," the rest of the time is going to be awkward. There seems to be no such concern, and Aina and Krona seem to accept Kem for the time being.

"Hehe, do you understand my mood when I go to Nancheng?"

"Oh, I understand."

"Okay"

Shirona quickly shook Kem's hand. Kaim glanced at her hand, but without saying anything more, grabbed Sirona's hand.

"Not applicable"

The two held hands and walked into the city center.

Kanagi Town is shaped like a basin. A shrine is enshrined in the center, and next to it is a small ruin. Now the two of them are heading to the ruins to have a look.

"In the ruins ahead, there is a mural about the legendary Pokémon in the Sinnoh region."

"The legendary Pokémon Deluka and Palukiru?"

"Yes.

The ruins in question are not too far from the house of Sirona's parents. The walk was not long, and soon the ruins were reached.

There is a shrine in front of the ruins, and beyond that is the ruins that Sirona said.

"It seems that this shrine was built to protect the ruins.

"I'm supposed to be looking at this back."

Kem walked through the side of the temple to the ruins behind.

There are two murals at the entrance to the site. The mural has a blue dragon on one side and a pink dragon on the other.

"Dialuka and Palukiru?"

"yes, it's the heart of the mural deep in the ruins."

"The world is made up of time and space. In other words, the world we live in is a world in which the power of Dialuca and Palukiru is combined. "

"The reason I'm interested in history is because of this ruin. This is where I started. That's why I want you to take a look at it. ”

Kem approached a mural depicting Dialuka. Then I found out that something was engraved there.
