Pokémon: Adventures with Sirona

"Thanks"

Sirona took the cup and took a sip of tea.

She felt her cold body being warmed from the inside.Although the cold protection measures have been taken, the long-term investigation in the cold environment will still make the body cold.

The exhaled breath condensed into white in the cold.Sirona only moved her eyes and looked at Cam, his cheeks were also slightly flushed from the cold.

"Breathe the warmth"

"Can you control yourself a little bit?"

"Hehe, yes. Indeed, I know that I have a tendency to over-focus, and I have considered correcting it. Although I didn't take action, I at least found a way to control myself"

She once reached her physical limit due to overexertion and even collapsed at one point.

She hadn't met Kaim at that time, but the Pokemon helped her a lot and kept her safe, but it caused her unnecessary worry and distress, and it was a painful memory for her.

"Then just practice it."

"It's okay now."

"why?"

"Because you're here."

"what?"

"You stop me when I'm unconsciously pushing myself, right?"

"You really know how to tease me."

"In fact, now you're letting me rest. Look, you've stopped me."

Cam neither confirmed nor denied.

For Cam, worrying about others has become a habit.So he didn't do it consciously.Even if the other party is not Sirona, he will definitely do the same thing.

“You’re soft. That’s why you can’t just silently watch people around you do something regardless of yourself. That’s the kind of person you are.”

"Maybe."

"You'll stop me. I know that, so I can devote myself to research and combat."

"If you're conscious, be a little self-controlled."

"Do not."

"Hey, don't be like this."

"Because I like how you take care of me."

Looking at Cam's Sirona with a mischievous smile on his face, Cam had nothing to say but sighed.

Red ears aren't just from the cold.

“I am able to juggle all of this right now because of your help. I am grateful to you.”

“Nothing. I didn’t do it to be appreciated.”

"Gee, then why are you taking care of me?"

Cam is basically a worryer, but not for everyone.He's not meddling with everyone, and Cam isn't a nice guy either.

But after establishing a certain friendship with someone, he will start to worry.This was due to his inability to let go of his personality. Sirona knew this and she asked the question, although she didn't actually know why.

Of course, it was also to tease Cam.

"Let's put it this way."

"You are a worried person, but you don't interfere too much with others. But to me, you are very interfering. Why?"

".Maybe it's because I am your assistant, which is the most common reason. Although I have considered deliberately giving a different reason, I really can't think of a special reason."

Cam crossed his arms and twisted his neck in thought, but still couldn't find a reason.He couldn't even think of a reasonable excuse.

"oops."

"It doesn't matter what the reason is."

"Are you being nice to me for no reason?"

Sirona asked Kaim eagerly, but after hearing Kaim's answer, her words stopped abruptly.

“Ah. Because I like doing it.”

"?"

"It's almost time for me to go back and continue investigating."

"Ah, wait, wait a minute"

Cam showed a smirk of successful revenge, and went straight back to the ruins.

Sirona, who was left behind, sat down again, covering her face with her hands.

"woo hoo"

Sirona's face was flushed from between her fingers.

Probably if someone who didn’t know Cam heard what he just said, he would interpret it as “likes to worry.”

But Cam worried, but he never openly declared that he liked worrying.In fact, he doesn't like to worry, it's just the people he cares about.

In other words, what he really meant by what he just said.

"Only in times like this can you be frank."

Usually he is full of love for Pokémon, but basically indifferent to humans.It's not because he hates humans, but because he can't treat humans sincerely.

Therefore, it is rare for Cam to confide his sincerity to Sirona, because he understands this, so he chose to express his sincerity frankly at this time.

"Ah, really, it feels all messed up."

Feeling the slack at the corners of her mouth and the warmth of her face, Sirona took a deep breath and slapped her face to switch her attention.

"it is good!"

While deciding to take revenge somewhere, Sirona also returned to the work of investigation.

"Thank you, see you tomorrow."

"Thank you. Please take care of me tomorrow too."

After nightfall, the two were sent back to town by the old man and his Casey.

After witnessing the old man and Casey teleport home, Sirona turned to Cam.

"Thank you~"

"Ahh."

"As expected of the ruins just discovered. There are still many unsolved mysteries waiting for us. In short, back up these data first, and then go to eat."

"Indeed. It's not too late, the store should still be open."

The town isn't that big so there isn't a lot of store options, but they found a couple of good looking ones on their smartphone.

Sirona glanced secretly at Cam's smartphone and turned the screen towards her.

"Which is better?"

"Ah! How about this one?"

"Japanese food. Not bad."

"Then let's go right away. I'm hungry."

"I feel the same way."

Although she should be tired from the long investigation, Sirona walked briskly.

“Do you want to book in advance?”

Even at times like these, Cam's secretary spirit lives on.

After sorting out the data and backing it up, the two headed to the reserved restaurant.

"It's here."

"It's nice. It's a bit like the atmosphere of the Johto area. I like it."

"Sirona, you really like the Chengdu area."

"Each region has its own characteristics. Among these characteristics, I think the Johto region is the most suitable place for me after the Sinnoh region."

"Since Sirona thinks so, then that's it."

"Next time I want to visit the rich green area."

"Take me there."

"You understand well, don't you?"

"Ah, leave it to me."

When I entered the store, I recalled the incident in the rich green area.

The atmosphere inside the store is peaceful, but there are many customers.

"welcome."

"I'm Mr. Cam by appointment."

"Welcome. Please go this way."

Guided by the clerk, they arrived at a private room.

It's not too spacious, but it's just right for two people.

"Here's the menu. If you've decided, press the button over there to call us. Please take your time."

The clerk just said these words and closed the door.

"That's amazing. The clerk is wearing a kimono."

"Ah. Even though it's expensive, it feels very high-end."

"It's great to find such a store. But why private rooms?"
