"Think about it? In a sense, this is the strength I lack the most. I think you can't be a leader if you're not smart. Nowadays, I can teach a lot of things to the girls in the store, but when I first started myself?? When I started my business, I had a hard time. ”

"In order to teach others, it is important to know how much you can understand yourself. Maybe you can understand the feelings of those who can't. ”

"Ahh Sirona! But does it sting me? ”

"That's what I think and say."

"Oops!"

The two laughed when they heard it.

At the same time, Kem is slapped by Heiki while his head is locked by Bashamo.

While the two were talking and laughing, they heard a man's voice.

"Itana, Gula, I'm asleep."

"Oh, thank you. Good job"

The owner of the sound looks at the screen. It was the first time she had seen his face, but based on the situation, Sirona concluded that it was Isana's husband.

"Ah, nice to meet you. Minato is Isana's husband. Isana is taking care of me. \"

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sirona. ”

"No, I know. After all, he is the champion of the Sinnoh region. Moreover, I heard a lot of things from Isana. ”

"Don't make it. You don't have to behave like that. ”

"Is it because it's Isana? It's the first time I've met you. The last time I went to Nancheng, I was the only one who left in a hurry, and I didn't see my brother. ”

When she went to Southtown, Isana and her husband were unable to see them because they needed to return home for urgent work.

Isana's husband said in a very calm voice. Bright Isana and calm port. I see, they must be a good couple, Sirona looked at the two in front of her and thought to herself.

"Because in the near future, we're going to be a family, right? It doesn't have to be that hard. ”

"I'm at home?!"

"Oh? Is that so? ”

"Huh? Oh no uh I hope"

Isana puffed out her chest and stared at Sirona, whose face was flushed.

"Look. The rest is up to Kaim's time and determination. \"

"I see, even then, first impressions matter. There shouldn't be any problems with being polite, right? ”

"That's right. It felt weird because we became very close to each other. ”

"Hahaha, Isanna's communication skills are very good."

Watching the two of them start a romantic relationship with Yano and Yano, Bai Nai couldn't help but smile bitterly, but Bai Nai didn't realize that they had a more intense communication in front of the light.

"Well, now that I can say hello to my future sister-in-law, it's time for me to sleep." It's early tomorrow morning. ”

"Do I have to go see Cam?"

"In the near future, we'll be a family, right? In that case, there is no need to rush to meet here now. Besides, he must have been exhausted by what happened last time, and he seemed to be busy in the first place. It doesn't have to be now. \"

I don't think I'm here because there's something going on. I thought Watergate would have some work to do, but in reality he was just bullied by Pokémon. If he wanted to call for Watergate, he would bring him to meet her, but Bai Nai felt that he couldn't bear to see him so embarrassed when they met for the first time, so he didn't stop Watergate.

"That's right. Well, Shirona-chan, thank you. \"

"Thank you so much for contacting me"

"I, no, no! I just wanted to talk to you. Good bye! ”

"Say goodbye to Kem."

"Yes. I'm sorry. ”

With that, Sirona hung up the phone and turned off the computer.

When I walked into the garden, I saw Cam lying in the garden, being beaten, while Blakey curled up on his back. And Hikari looked at the figure with a wry smile.

"It looks like it's been done thoroughly."

"Ah, hahaha, she looks like she's angry."

"Okay, no way, you can decide for yourself, but I dived without telling you anything."

I'm glad Gabrias noticed me, but if he hadn't noticed me, I'd have continued diving. With that in mind, what Kem is trying to do is sinful. I just wanted Shirona to reflect on herself.

However, Sirona thinks he'll regret it if Kem was beaten like this, so she walks over to Kem, who is still lying on the floor.

"Good job"

"My eyes are sunken"

Kem muttered as he was turned into a black cushion. He looks tattered because he's badly injured, but Kem himself seems pretty good. I don't know if it's just a matter of resilience, or if Pokémon is good at adjusting, or both.

"Do you regret it?"

"From the bottom of my heart"

"It's more important than anything else"

Sirona holds Heiki, who uses Kem's back as a cushion. Little Black rubbed her head against Sirona, as if she was spoiled by Sirona.

Sirona stroked Blackie and held out her hand to Kem.

"We will discuss it carefully and make a decision. From now on, please protect us, okay? As I said before, if you go, there will be a lot of people and Pokémon will be sad. Please think carefully about our feelings. ”

\"Ahh Oh, yes. \"

Kem took Sirona's outstretched hand and stood up.

Maybe I'll be the one left behind, I certainly didn't think of that

As Sirona points out, Kem doesn't take into account the feelings of those who stay. Although the situation is urgent and there is not much time, they can also do something in advance to let them know.

But I didn't. That's because it's obvious that it will be blocked. If you are stopped, your resolve will be shaken. Cam didn't want to tell her because he felt that way.

However, this caused unnecessary emotional damage not only to Shirona but also to the Pokémon. The feeling of helplessness of not being relied upon or consulted. This is the primary reason why the Pokémon took revenge on Kem in this incident.

I don't want to get involved because it's important. I understand how you feel, but if you care about each other, you should try to get through it all together because it's important.

"If only you understood"

"Oh, I'll remember."

"The next time you do the same thing, I'll tell you, I'll wait for you, but don't make any promises, okay?"

"Please let me take a break. I understand that I won't do it again. ”

"Okay. Oh, I have one more piece of news. ”

"Information?"

Suddenly told that it was a message, Kem stood up and looked at Sirona.

"Don't interfere with others, Darkrai."

"Then don't look at me with a look that wants me to intervene."

Hearing Cam's words, Sirona laughed. Darkrai looks like that, having nightmares, but in Kem's mind, it's just a lonely Pokémon.

"I feel like I've got some insight into Darkrai."

"Maybe"

"So, Kem. You understand us, right? ”

Kem didn't understand what Sirona was talking about, and a question mark popped up in his head.

Sensing that Kam didn't understand, Shirona called the light over and said to Kam with a smile.

"You've made us worried. You can apologize somehow, right? ”

\"Oh, I see. What am I going to do? Do what you can. \"

"I told you. Hikari, is there anything you'd like Kem to do? ”

Hearing Sirona ask, Light's eyes lit up.

"Is there something wrong?!"

"Of course."

"Why did Shirona answer?"

Kem nudged lightly, but no one heard him.

On the other side, Hikari raised his hands vigorously and said happily.

"I want to eat Mr. Keim's rice!"

In the past few days, Hikari has been eating simple meals, and Hikari who is sick can only eat some easy-to-digest foods for nursing. That's why I wanted to eat what I liked, and that's why I asked for it.

"Let's eat? It doesn't matter, I'll do everything. Do you have any requirements? ”

Kem asks Lucario to bring his smartphone and activates his notepad, ready to listen to Hikari's request.

"Eat croquettes first! Then there's the burger steak and fried chicken! I want to eat sashimi too! ”

I jotted down the happy words of light on my smartphone's notepad.

"Croquettes, burgers, fried chicken, sashimi, and what?"

"And then Kabayaki and ajillo!"

"Kabayaki and Agilo are not nutritionally balanced. I'll add salad and kinpila, and the rest is vegetable soup. I don't think I'll be able to finish it. ”

Well, I'll keep some food aside from sashimi and eat it tomorrow. Is there anything about Sirona? ”

"How about fried tofu, spicy cucumber, salt-grilled fish?"

"Is this a bar menu?"

I couldn't help but smile wryly at Sirona's request. It's really good, but compared to Hikari, Sirona's request is more like a request in an izakaya. I don't think I'm going to drink in front of the light, and I don't think it's a good idea to add alcohol here, as the light serves most of the side dishes but the selection is too adult.

"What? Is it tasty? ”

"It's just that there's a lot of stuff on the menu that you eat when you're drinking.

Kem put away his smartphone and vaguely thought that if there were oranges, maybe he would be able to eat them all.

After taking Hei from Sirona, he summoned Pokémon.

"Okay, I'm going to buy something, I'm telling you to stay at home."

"Yes, please."

"I'm looking forward to it!"

"Hey, hey, hey. Okay, let's go. ”

Kem said as he took his Pokémon out shopping.

Seeing her back, Shirona and Hikari smiled at each other and realized that life had returned to normal.

Later, Keim, Lucario, and Bashamo were busy in the kitchen, and by the time the sun went down, the table was full of hearty dishes. Hikari was eating delicious food with a smile on her face, and Sirona was also very happy. Kem fed not only his own Pokémon, but also the Pokémon of Shirona and Tsuki, and his cheeks relaxed a little when he saw Pokémon and Shirona eating with relish.

I pray that such days will last forever.

It was the most important meal, but there were so many dishes that the three of us couldn't finish it. The rest of the food is used as a lunch box for Hikari who is going out on a trip, and for lunch for Shirona and others.

It's another thing to get Blakey stuck to Kem's head the entire time he cooks.

Hikari sets off on another trip, leaving only Shirona and Kaim at home.

And in the space where there were just the two of them, an hour had passed since Sirona buried her face in Kem's lap.

\"Sister. It's been almost an hour. \"

"Yes"

During that hour, Sirona barely said a word, just put her arms around Cam's waist. Keim wondered what was going on, but in the end he came to the conclusion that it was okay until he was satisfied, and now he was just gently stroking Sirona's hair.

Xiao Hei, who was still holding his head, had fallen asleep quietly unconsciously, and Bashamo, who was back to back against Kem, also began to doze off. From then on, the two never wanted to leave Kem's side again.

It's going to be like this for about a week or so

Kem gave up on this idea for a moment, stroking Blackie, who was holding his head. Blackie was touched, his ears fluttered, and his throat gurgled.

When Hikari was there, he behaved as usual, but as soon as Hikari left, he became like this. Even Cam thinks he understands how worried I am for him. However, when I saw this attitude, I realized how naïve my perception was.

If it were the other way around, I would do the same

What would happen to me if Shirona did the same? In all likelihood, he will do everything in his power to recapture Sirona. It was no different from what Sirona had done to bring her back.

This time, it's the only technology I have. However, that doesn't change the fact that he's causing a lot of worry for Sirona. At one point, I thought about letting Sirona do what she wanted, and when I stroked Sirona's hair again, Sirona opened her mouth.

"I'm so weak."

Hearing Sirona's words, Kem instinctively stopped.

"What does that mean?"

"I've been anxious these days without you, and although you're fighting alone, there's nothing I can do, and this fact has made me feel like I'm breaking down many times, what if I can't come back?" That's what I thought. ”

\"But I'm back. Shirona brought me back. \"

"Yes. But when you left, my heart was so tired. I promised you that I would bring you back. ”

Because of Kem, Sirona was able to become what she is now. However, before meeting Kem, as long as there were Pokémon, Sirona had a strong heart. However, after meeting Kem and exchanging their feelings, she can't live without him. The more I thought about it, the more I felt more and more dependent on Kem.

"I know how important your presence is to me, and I have learned a lot from this. Some people get stronger when they have someone important, but there are times when they get weaker. ”

"At the end of the day, it's probably a state of mind. Is it driven by the fear of loss, or is it succumbing to fear? It depends on the strength of that person's heart. ”

\"That's right. I'm weak. If it weren't for the light, my heart might have been shattered by fear. \"

"That's not true."

Kem denied Sirona's unusually weak words.

"It doesn't matter who supports me, as long as I can break down, I'm going to break down. But Shirona did not collapse. In order to bring me back, in order to save the world, I did not give up until the end. But isn't it? "Isn't it?"

Even with his best friend Daigo and his precious Pokémon, Kem is completely reluctant to take part in the fight. At this time, even if Bai Nai was by his side, he would probably lose the heart to fight. My heart was completely broken, so I gave up fighting.

But Sirona didn't give up. If it weren't for the light, I might have lost, but I was able to pull myself together with the light, which meant that my core didn't collapse. Either way, Kem said, he should be proud that he made it to the end.

\"That's right, you're right. If you are too disparaged, it is disrespectful to the Light that supports you. \"

Sirona interrupted abruptly, stood up, sat on Kem's lap, and stared at Kaim's face from the front.

"Hey, Kem, can I ask you something?"

"Ahh

"How can Kem do so much for the people around him?"

Kem's movements were so great that he couldn't help but be told that he was sacrificing himself this time. When he was awake, he worked almost sleepless to protect his victims, absorbing Darkrai's powers after learning about the possibility that he would not be able to return to his original world in the nightmare world. Sirona doesn't have the motivation to go that far for others, so I wonder what kind of emotions drive Kem.

Kaim stroked Sirona's hand and asked Sirona about it.

"Sirona, what comes to mind when you hear the word 'world'?"

“？ World map? ”

Sirona didn't understand the meaning of Kem's question, she just said whatever came to mind. Kem replied with a wry smile in his heart.

"I don't have a map of the world."

"What kind of picture is that?"

"When I imagine the world, I think of people like Sirona, Kohei, Mashamo, Daigo, Higashiwa, and Kota, who are all people around me. The people I care about, my Pokémon, and my friends are all 'for me'. "'Because of this world'

At this point, Kem looked away from Sirona and laughed at himself with a wry smile.

"Little one, right? The people around me are more important than the real world. ”

"This is..."

"I don't consider myself a good person, I want to work for people close to me, not for people who can't be seen. This is my world, and it turned out like this. It's just that I'm not acting for an unspecified number of people. ”

“… Yes"

Somehow, Kem's words made sense to Sirona.

Keim always tends to underestimate himself. Sirona wasn't too surprised by Kem's answer, as it stemmed from his own past, and something like that had happened several times.

"I'm lucky"

The reason why I am where I am today is because of the support of the people around me. He says this every day and tries to do his best for the people around him. I was immediately convinced that this came from his "worldview".

The spirit world of Kem as seen in the nightmare world. A very calm and gentle sea. For Kem, the world may have been made by this mind.

Keim's eyes were very friendly when he talked about it. When Sirona saw those eyes, she couldn't contain the overflowing feelings.

"Hey, Kem."

"Yes?"

"Can I let you cover your ears for a while?"

“？”
