"Not applicable"

"What's wrong?"

Kem asked Cadalia, who smiled.

Gadelia shook her head casually and smiled.

"Nothing."

“… Really"

Kem perked up a little, thinking that he was going to mess up again, but at the sight of Gardelia's gentle smile, he felt that this was not the case, and returned his gaze to the dough that was being cooked.

*

night

There were a lot of dishes in front of Gardelia and Sirona, and it was obvious that they had taken a lot of effort.

"Wow, what a feast"

"Is this all Kem brough?"

"Ahh

The table is filled with assorted sashimi, wild vegetables, tempura with fish and mushrooms, large omelets, teriyaki chicken, and many other Japanese entrees that Shirona loves.

\"I tried to add some +a as per Shirona's request. I guarantee the taste. \"

"It must be difficult to do so much."

Indeed, this is all what Sirona asked, but Sirona believes that even if Kem is a good cook, it is quite difficult for him to make such a large menu by himself. Even though it's my birthday, I'm still a little sorry for what you've done.

Unexpectedly, however, Kem replied casually.

"It's not that hard. You helped me. ”

As he spoke, Kem touched Lucario's head beside him. Lucario's expression barely changed, but his expression seemed a little smug.

And at Cam's feet, Blakey jumps up and down, as if to announce his presence. He picked up Xiao Hei, touched his chin, and cried happily.

"This time, Xiao Hei also helped me with telepathy in various ways."

"Oh, where's Blackie?"

Usually I watch from behind, but this time Xiao Hei also used his telekinesis to help me do a lot of things. Although he doesn't have strong control, he can control it to a certain extent, so he provided some help to Kem during special training.

"Thank you.

As she spoke, Hakuna stroked Black and Lucario's heads.

I sent the two of them to the place where the other Pokémon were eating, and Shirona and the others sat at the table. The three of them held hands and began to eat.

"Ah, this one is delicious."

After eating the cooked dish, Bai Nai involuntarily muttered. Hearing this, Kem's face was expressionless, but the corners of his mouth were slightly happy.

"Cochran is also good at cooking, but Kem is better than me when it comes to cooking."

"Because that person is better than me."

Cochrane is still active as a frontier brain. Its strength is comparable to that of Gardelia, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. The Cochran clan has served the Gardelia family for generations, and their ability to protect them has increased dramatically.

Among them, Cochran was entrusted to the next head of the family, Gardelia's lieutenant, and even to the legendary Pokémon "Emperor Yan". Even if I go head-to-head with the current Gardelia, the win rate is about 50/50. Even Hakuna has the ability to say that it is almost impossible to achieve a complete victory. In Kem, the best is a good fight, and the worst is a crushing defeat.

"Oh, if you're the head of the gym, can't you at least fight well?"

"I'm not the gym director yet. I'm a candidate for the director of the gym. ”

"I'm a stand-in, so there's something like that, and I care too much."

"You haven't decided yet"

Everyone said that Kem's current ability was okay, but I still didn't believe it. This is certainly due to Kem's own bad habits, but more importantly, his carefulness and seriousness.

So Gadelia raised the question of the term dojo curator.

"Speaking of gym curators, when will Kem's gym director certification exam take place?"

To become a gym director, of course, you have to pass an exam. Of course Cordelia knew, but she just didn't know when the exam was. Jiadelia's strength at the beginning was enough to become one of the four heavenly kings of a state, so she didn't pass the level of the gym curator. So I don't know much about gym leadership.

"In mid-March, the test consisted of practical skills, a written test and an interview."

"There are probably two months left, and there shouldn't be any problems with the fight, but do you think everything else will be fine?"

In Gardelia's opinion, there would be no problem with her abilities, but the rest of Gardelia would not know. This question is especially true.

"How about the written exam? As far as I can tell, this is a question that is not beyond the bounds of common sense. I don't know about the interview. ”

"Kem, is he smart?"

"Just in case, I've graduated from college."

"Oh, I see."

Gardelia reacted as if she had seen it for the first time, and Cam replied with some hesitation.

"I didn't tell you"

"I could have said that. Sorry, this is not very important information. ”

"It's okay."

As long as you make a living from Pokémon battles, educational background is less important. In addition to academics, if you are not strong enough, no matter how much you study in combat, it is useless. Both are elitist.

"So the only thing you're worried about is the interview?"

"That's right."

\"Why did Shirona answer? \"

"Really? You're very polite, but I'm worried that you're too straightforward and will be misunderstood. ”

"Parents"

Keim unconsciously smiled bitterly at the comment that sounded too much like a guardian's concern. In fact, Bai Nai's assessment is the Guardian's statement, and given her status as the master, it wouldn't be wrong to say that she leans towards the Guardian, but for Kem, it seems okay.

"I'm not your parent."

"That's right"

"Are you lovers?"

"Ahh

Sirona's words were so sudden that her answer was a little delayed, but Kem was able to answer anyway. Sirona laughed like a prank-picked child, and Cam frowned.

Looking at the two of them, Gadelia's eyes lit up.

"Oh my God, your red ears look so cute."

"Noisy"

"Isn't it wrong to be a lover? Then don't be shy. ”

"It's noisy. That's right. ”

Kem drank the water and Shirona ate the sashimi.

Gadelia said as she looked at Sirona, who was having fun.

"Or is your wife or wife right?"

"Huh?!"

"Gough!"

Faced with the sudden attack, Sirona involuntarily swallowed the sashimi in her mouth, and the water entered Kem's trachea and suffocated.

"Gardelia? I've said this many times, but we're not engaged yet. ”

"Not yet? Oh yes, they were so friendly that I mistook them for newlyweds. ”

"Jia, Gadelia! Don't make fun of me."

"Woo woo, I'm sorry.

Gardelia said with a smile as she brought the white rice to her lips. Sirona felt her face get hotter and hotter, and involuntarily turned her gaze to Kem. Kaim frowned and drank the miso soup, but I could see that his ears were bright red.

"Yes, yesterday's Gadelia was despicable."

"Miss Sirona's reaction is cute, and the gap between her style and her usual style is cute. \"

"Kem, you can say something too. \"

Sirona said this and turned to Kem, but being treated like a husband and wife, embarrassed and happy, Kem completely stopped his thoughts, and couldn't think of anything good to say.

"Nantoka"

"Not anymore!"

\"Whew, hahaha! Interesting, Kem. \"

Kem looked at Gardelia, who raised her voice and smiled unusually.

"Shut up! It's all Gardelia's fault! ”

"Oh, then why don't you shut me up? In battle, of course. ”

"Then I'll do it."

"It's a different story, so"

Gardelia's words made Shirona and Kaim laugh, and Gardelia was amused.

For a while, in the midst of laughter, the peaceful meal time passed like this.

After eating, Kem stood up from the table.

"After the rice, let's have dessert."

As Kem said this, I saw that Shirona and Gadelia's eyes were shining.

"You can see it's done! I'm looking forward to it! ”

"The top, or rather, the decoration was done by Kem at my suggestion."

Sirona raised her hand to bake the cake sponge, and then Gardelia gave advice on how to make the cake.

I applied the root and powder. Of course, Kem didn't feel that way. Therefore, I prepared a lot of cake cooking videos and other things in advance, and finished the toppings according to the suggestions of Gardelia, which has a strong aesthetic appeal.
