"Ouch!"

Kotone rubbed her nose-that already kissed every ground she stepped in since an hour ago due to her clumsiness-and screamed a low 'ow' after knowing that her precious nose is bleeding. A single drop of tear came down from her left eye, indicating she really felt pain on her nose.

A 'tch' sound came from her behind, making the brunette girl turned her head around, only to see Silver's annoyed face. He put his right hand to a pocket on his jacket, searching for something inside.

"It's already the fifth time, you know?" the redhead boy handed her a small white handkerchief of his.

"Well, it seems that those little rocks hate me." Kotone laughed lowly. Her small hand rubbed her nose again, this time using Silver's handkerchief.

A small sigh escaped through the boy's lips, "And not just that. We just wanted to go to Goldenrod from Azalea, and aside from tripped over many rocks, you also often get bad lucks, or was it just your stupidity not to walk carefully?"

Kotone pouted, "We are in Ilex Forest, you know? It's so dark here, and even if the exit is near, people sometimes get lost. So, it's not completely my fault."

A smirk appeared on Silver's face, "Really? Then why am I not getting any bad lucks even I was with you the whole time?"

"W-well, I don't know about that but I-I'm not that clumsy, okay?"

"You also fell to the water once."

"It was an accident-!"

"Bumped into trees twice."

"I couldn't see the way so-!"

"Aand chased by wild Combees."

The last sentence surely made Kotone stopped protesting.

"Are you actually a Misfortune Goddess or what?" Silver asked, in a rude way, of course.

A loud growl came from Kotone's Typhlosion who stood beside her, probably voicing his anger toward the boy, although Silver didn't seem to care. Putting the white-colored handkerchief to a small pocket on her bag, Kotone smiled widely, inviting a confused expression from Silver.

"W-what?"

"You're still by my side even after I got many misfortunes, then I don't mind if I am a Misfortune Goddess."

"Because that means you are my Misfortune Guardian, aren't you?" she smiled even wider, this time making Silver blushed a little.

"W-what kind of thing is that? Don't say any ridiculous idea of yours!" he turned around and started walking, leaving Kotone and her Typhlosion a few meters behind. Eventhough, the girl could still keep her wide smile and laughed a little.

"Heeey, Silvy! My legs are kinda hurt, so can you carry me until we arrive at Goldenrod?"

"Walk by yourself you dumbass!"
