Author's Notes: Hey all, sorry for being dead for a few months, let's just say in a nutshell, school's been kicking my ass throughout the whole months I was gone on Wattpad and I made new friends on my school too, thus making me more busy than ever lol, anyways enjoy the chapter!
---------------------------------------------------------
I stared into the ceiling for a little while, and as my vision got clearer and clearer, I was awake for another day of my journey, well at least I had a clear goal for today, unlike yesterday, where I had to think of what to do.
"Morning, Y/N..." Akina said as I turned to my left and right to see that Akina and Haya were already awake ahead of me, which was rather surprising on my end, as I was the one who was waking up earlier than them.
"It was cute seeing your sleeping face, Master." Haya said as she smiled slightly along with the words she said, I simply smiled from her words of affection too, I couldn't help but pat both of their heads as I slowly gathered the strength to get up from bed.
Noticing that, they quickly got up as we prepared like usual, taking a shower on my end, as I put my dirty sleepwear clothes in my backpack, with a separate bag over it of course, wouldn't this be more messy than it should.
I absentmindedly turned on the shower, as the cold water poured over me, though it woke me up from the chilling temperature of it, I didn't care about it anyways, hot or cold showers are interchangeable on my end.
'A fire-type gym, I think I could manage with just two or three Pokemon, really...' I said to myself as I scrub my body and hair to perfection with soap and shampoo that is here in this bathroom, I know it's bad to be cocky, but I have a grown a bit since then, and my team is more diverse than ever, I trust them to do the job done.
As my body was now properly cleaned, I got the towel that I have hanged earlier, cleaning and drying myself off as I put on my proper clothes for travelling, ready for the day ahead of us, greeted by the two of them as we got out for something to eat, it's a routine at this point, so might as well after all.

A while has passed, as we were currently in the middle of waiting for our order to come up to our table, it was just the usual breakfast with the full party including me, and it was still as lively as ever, all I could do was stare with a small comforting smile
"When is the food gonna arrive...?" Maki said as her stomach grumbled in sheer hunger, typical of her during these times while waiting for our order to come around, well I can't blame her, I was also getting hungry on my end too.
"Now, now, let us wait, I'm sure it will arrive soon." Amaya simply said to Maki, well at least they were getting along, much to my surprise, I wouldn't thought that a sensible and hardworking person be such good friends with Maki, but then again, that's not an issue so it was fine, just a bit strange on my end, that's all.
"Maki's right, I'm starvin' here!" Kagari said with her voice filled with impatience, it seems like Maki is not the only one waiting for their food with a slight complaint, I simply chuckled it off inside of my mind..
"So immature, you never change, do you?"  Kiyohime simply muttered as Kagari could hear it despite doing so, as the two exchanged glares that were so sharp, I could feel it on my own skin, despite them cooperating and tolerating each other yesterday, I guess they still find ways to argue with each other.
"What did you say, you brat?!" Kagari exclaimed as she heard Kiyohime's usual complaints about her, adding most fire to the pile, now this was the expected interaction whenever these two converse with one another, I do not know when it started but I guess some people are just destined to be rivals, that I can slightly relate to.
