Something suddenly occurred to me, so I asked Sakuma as she ate her late-night snack... Ever since I had met her, she had indulged in afternoon tea every day without restraint. Wasn't she afraid of gaining weight? Since I couldn't quite accept spending a girl's money, no matter what I said, I could only watch her happily eat her desserts.
So that saying about having a second stomach for dessert really was true. This was my first time seeing it firsthand!
"Huh? I don't know! Oh, right, so help me eat some too!"
What? How had it come to this?! Where were her principles? I pretended to be calm. "I'm not eating it because I especially want to, okay!"
"Mm-hmm."
Why did she keep looking at me...?
There was nothing I could do! After all, her Pokémon really wouldn't stop clinging to me! Chespin only approached Sakuma when there was food involved now. Right then, he was happily eating the special Pokémon macarons the shop had provided...
"Why do you keep looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
Huh, was I? I hurriedly made up an excuse.
"Because... I thought your straw hat looked pretty nice! So I was wondering where you bought it."
She pulled her straw hat down a little and kept drinking her hot chocolate. "Idiot..."
What? I was only telling the truth! Why was she angry again...?
She stood up. "Ah, I'm full! We're going to that shop next!"
"Which shop?"
"Come with me! I've already looked into most of the places we should visit!"
"Okay." After all, I wasn't very familiar with this place... Besides, we still didn't know where to find a Pokémon that liked dressing up. Wandering around would give us a better chance of meeting one.
Speaking of Santalune City,
