Pokémon: Adventures with Sirona

"Sirona?"

That wasn't the arrangement before Cam left.So, if I did, it would be Sirona.

However, Sirona's household chores are generally destructive.In a sense, he is a genius, even able to turn such an insignificant environment into a disaster.

Nevertheless, the dining table is now very neatly arranged.

"Yes, there's only so much I can do now."

Sirona smiled awkwardly and continued.

"You've grown under me, both as a trainer and as an academic. I've enjoyed watching you grow. But you've been changing and I haven't changed much. Me." I think Growing up with Cam, so I think about what I can do.

The thing Sirona dislikes least of all is household chores in general.So far, I've basically handed over everything to Cam, but for self-growth, I want to be able to do the "minimum" things I'm not good at, even if it's not as good as Cam.

"Until now, I have always stood in the position of teaching you, and it may not change in the future. But you know, I have not only been teaching you, I also want to be taught. To get to know you, but also for myself .To be honest, I'm so bad at housework that I can't even do it without the help of Pokémon. But I don't think that's an excuse not to do housework. I'm not good at it."

"So you want me to teach you the housework."

"Yes, I want to increase the number of things I can do, what do you think?

Cam said to Sirona who smiled awkwardly with his usual expression and tone.

"Bai Nai didn't abandon me without talent. So, no matter how bad your skills are, I will teach you until you can do it."

I don't think I can fully repay you with this money, but I've been indebted so much that it would be nice if I could repay even a little, Cam thought.

"Hehe, let's ask for advice next time."

"I tell you, I will not compromise, I will do well."

"Yes, but let's celebrate today. It's a memorable day for Cam."

"Domo.

Now that the prep work is done, all that's left is cooking.It didn't take long for the meal to be finished.

The two ate the food prepared by Kaim with the Pokémon.

ー ー

"call"

While Cam does the dishes, Bai Nai takes care of the Pokémon and takes a shower.

When I came out of the bathroom, dried my hair, and walked to the dining room, Cam was sitting on the couch, having a drink by himself.

"Rare. Drink it yourself."

"Maybe. Today was good."

"Yes. Can I too?"

"what"

Pour the golden liquid into another prepared glass and pass it to Sirona.After taking the cup, Sirona enjoyed the scent and put it into her mouth.

"delicious"

"This is my cousin. That's what I heard from Denji the other day."

"Oh, you know some good stuff, Chuanzhi-kun."

Cam took a bite of the cheese and tipped the glass again.

After that we continued drinking and chatting for a while.

Perhaps because she felt hot after taking a shower, Sirona found the cold drink very comfortable and drank it faster than usual.

"It's delicious and easy to drink, so you'll be drunk in no time."

"I've prepared carbonated water for now, but rocks are the best."

"Are you all right? Cam, you're weak."

"I'm watering"

First of all, the pace is not as fast as when I was drinking at Ish.With such a pace, even Cam would not get too drunk.

As for Sirona, although she didn't drink as much as usual, she still felt drunk, probably because she drank after taking a bath.

"Is it fast paced?"

"Yeah, it's hot."

"If it's hot, drink some water."

Sirona obediently drank the water handed to her.

However, the temperature of the tub and the temperature of the alcohol did not change my mind.

"Hey Cam"

"Yes?"

"like"

The sudden words made Cam speechless for a while, but Cam came back to his senses immediately.

"Yes, Domo."

"Tell me too~"

Cam sighed, and Sirona pursed her lips to drink.

"Sister, you must be drunk."

"you're drunk."

Cam smiled wryly at the rare drunk who knew he was drunk.Sirona wasn't broke, but she was definitely drunk.However, the degree of intoxication also depends on the circumstances of the day.Maybe it's because I'm a little tired today and got drunk early.

Tired of setting the table?

From Cam's point of view, it's not a big deal, but from Sirona's point of view, it's a lot of work.I can't help but feel tired because I even said I got help from Pokémon.

"So? Where's Cam?"

"noisy"

"You can say you like me too~"

Cam frowned at the slumped Sirona and poked her cheek, but didn't try to pull her away.

"Since you are the one I like, tell me to love yourself~"

"Oh, that's what you said."

I thought he forced Kym to say he liked him too, but apparently that's not the case.

"You can do well, so please accept who you are."

Hearing Sirona's words, Cam sighed softly and rested his head on her shoulder.

"It's okay, at least I think I'll like you more than before."

“Then that’s it”

"Then can you hurry up and stop banging your head? It hurts."

"what about me?"

Sirona raised her head and asked Cam.

I don't know if he's drunk, or shy, or both, but his cheeks are flushed.

Cam gently pinched Sirona's already red cheeks.

"Ok"

"Oh, he doesn't look good."

"Isn't this sesame~"

Cam sighed at Sirona who spoke like a vain child, and patted Sirona on the head.

"You've decided you like it."

This sentence did reach Sirona's ears.

"Ok"

Sirona, who was in a good mood, sat next to Cam and rested her head on his shoulder.

Despite the disgusted look on Cam's face, he let himself finish.

By understanding and facing their weaknesses and strengths, the young man decides to break with the past, and the woman decides to learn what she lacks in order to grow with the young man.

The moonlight outside the window was shining quietly, as if guarding the two of them.

"society?"

"Yes, there will be news next week.??"

Sirona said to Kaim when she was researching the underwater ruins that she had investigated at home.

It seems that an academic conference will be held soon, and Sirona will also give a speech there.

"Did you publish a paper a few days ago?"

"No, it's not that. It's the holy relic. My thesis hasn't been published yet, but the holy relic is still full of mysteries, so everyone is very curious."

"Ah, that time."

Keim was sure that his findings had been published since he surveyed the holy city site around spring.

"so?"

"I'm the only one announcing this, but I hope you will follow me."

"Is it next week?"

"Yes"

So far, there have been several times where it looked like Sirona's announcement would be followed.Therefore, Bai Nai was looking forward to the fact that Kaim would go with her this time.

But Cam's answer was beyond his expectation.

"Oops, impossible"
