Pokémon: Adventures with Sirona

I don't understand it, but I know there is such a thing as "politeness" among researchers.

Before I knew it, I had finished my meal.

"It was delicious."

"Okay, next is the long-awaited dessert."

"I've been waiting!"

Open the menu and look for dessert.After all, Sirona is very interested in ice cream.

"Then I am this ice cream"

“I'm with this fruit tart”

Order and put down the menu.

"How long will Sirona stay here?"

"The day after tomorrow, the meeting will be tomorrow. I have other things to do."

"It's coming soon, isn't it?"

"Yes. That's why I'm so glad you invited me today."

Dessert arrived shortly after.

"Wow that looks delicious"

Sirona involuntarily took a photo of the ice cream with her smartphone.

"Okay, I'll go right now."

"Yes, let's do it."

Sirona scooped up the ice cream with a spoon and put it in her mouth.The coolness, sweetness and slightly sourness of the fruit made Sirona smile.

"delicious!"

"I'm glad you liked it. You seem to like ice cream so I'm glad I recommended it."

"Oh? Did I mention I love ice cream?"

"The ice cream for dessert looked really good the last time we ate, so I wondered if that was the case."

"Look, yes, it's my favorite."

In fact, Sirona loved ice cream so much that she spent an hour selecting it.That's why I was dumbfounded by Cam several times.

"As expected. I'm glad I hit it."

"Huhu, this is a good point."

Eat ice cream again.At this moment, the ring on Bai Nai's right hand shone.

The ring caught Alice's attention.

"A..."

"?What happened?"

"Miss Sirona's ring is beautiful."

"Oh, this, I like it."

Sirona stroked her fingers gently.

"I bought this when I went to Altomare, which is famous for its glass."

"Hey, Altomare! That's the city of water, isn't it? Very good, I want to go there."

"Woohoo, you should go there someday."

"Excuse me, who did you go with?"

Sirona's hand stopped.

"Ah, sorry because of personal matters"

"It's okay, I'm curious about the position of the ring, you are also a girl."

"Listen, are you okay?"

"yes.

Sirona smiled slightly, and put down the scoop of ice cream that she had eaten.

"Yes at that time" I went with the assistant.

"then…"

"Now he's a 'boyfriend'."

Alice's eyes lit up upon hearing Sirona's words.

"Yeah, you are my boyfriend after all!"

"He's also a scholar, so now I want to bring him to the city."

"I'll guide you then."

"Fufu, please."

"Then can I ask that boyfriend?"

"I'm about to fall in love, but if I can"

"I like!"

"Also, since I'm the one to speak, I'll ask Alice to speak."

Hearing Sirona's words, Alice was sure that she couldn't escape, but she regretted bringing up this topic.

After that, the two had a love story for a period of time.

The next day

夜晚

Sirona is attending a social gathering in the hall where conference lectures are being held.

She was wearing a black dress and her long hair was pulled up, giving her a completely different impression than usual.

Even if it is called a social group, it does not mean that it is only those affiliated with the academic group.People in the city are also participating.Inside, I saw a man, accompanied by Roberto, the manager of this hall.

I was naturally made to feel welcome as I walked around the venue drinking champagne.There are all kinds of people who call us, including famous scholars and young scholars who have achieved many achievements in their youth.

Not everyone has a good impression of Sirona.In the academic world, there are people who don't like the young and female Sirona, some who use Sirona as an assistant to raise research funds and publicity, and some who have other evil intentions.

Of course, not everyone is like this.Some of them sincerely evaluated Sirona's ability and proposed the idea of ​​joint research.As far as joint research is concerned, the outcome is 5050.In some cases, due to Sirona's popularity, achievements may be taken away without Sirona's intention.Honestly, I'm glad you understood this and offered to do a joint study, but Sirona has no intention of collaborating with anyone.I like the current research system, and most importantly, the research is going better than ever since Assistant Keim arrived.There are no particular benefits to working with complete strangers.

Even if you are not Sirona, if you walk in a world of mixed good and bad, you will feel tired.Physically, she was fine, but mentally, she was a little tired.

"Ah, classmate Sirona!"

A man approaches Sirona, who is resting.

"Dr. Orchid!"

The person who called me was Dr. Okido, the chief researcher of Pokémon.

“This has been a while”

"Long time no see. When was the last time we met?"

"I think the last time we met was at an academic conference four years ago."

"Oh, right! I'm also very busy, and I don't have many opportunities to attend conferences in other fields."

Seeing Oto's cheerful smile, Sirona smiled slightly.

"Yeah, the announcement the other day was fantastic."

"thanks.

"What did you say? In the field of biology, it may be so, but in the field of archaeology, you are now number one, and you should be more confident."

"No, I'm still young, I need to work harder."

"It's such a great ambition that I have to emulate."

Ohkito smiled happily while drinking oolong tea from a glass.

After drinking, I sat down next to Sirona.

"However, it's popular.

"what…"

Apparently Oto had seen him get yelled at by various people before.

"I appreciate your appreciation, but I like the current research system."

"It's important to know what kind of system you can use to do your research. Even I moved to the town of Masala because I wanted to study in a quiet place. Now it's your turn."

"Yes, I think so too."

No matter how much you like it, context matters if you want to continue.Continuing to do it in a stressful environment may not yield results, but conversely, if you can do it in an environment you enjoy, it will be easier to achieve results.

"But you have something to do, don't you? It seems troublesome for the number one scholar to wear sandals, why don't you hire an assistant? If you fall down, don't think about it." It will be useless. "

"Don't worry, I've actually hired assistants for almost three years."

The word "employment" makes a big difference considering the current relationship.But there was no need to say it, so Bai Nai said so.

"Yes, then you can rest assured. Everything is only possible if you are healthy. It is very important to have someone who can help you."

"Yeah, thanks to him coming, it's really a big help."

What if he?

The red ring shining on Sirona's chest and Sirona's "his" behavior.From these things, Oto vaguely understood what kind of relationship he had with his assistant, but he did not really get into it.

Sirona also admitted.I'm sure she's a good person.
