84-084-Reunion with Sharon

128 years of St. King's history, the 13th of the same month, the 13th of the same evening.

So, why are you here?　And they even have an elf with them.

After the closing ceremony, as Satsuki and her friends were going back to the inn, three girls from the school of magic talked to them.

It's a good idea to make sure that you have the right kind of information to help you with your work.

Yes, her name is--.

Sharon, it's been a while!

Yeah, it's good to see you.

He is the genius wizard, Sharon, who is known as the best and youngest wizard in the school.

In the past, she had a bad reputation because she didn't like to get along with other people, but lately she has been getting involved with other wizards by teaching junior students and providing technology for the development of new magic, and in fact, she was the one who volunteered to help with this event.

''By the way, there are not only elves, but fairies as well.

What?

Then the hood of Satsuki's jacket moved mockingly....

"Troop leader Harle.

Number two Fleurieu.

!

The three of them were startled by the sight of the two popping out of Satsuki's hood.

Seeing this, Satsuki grinned and smiled suspiciously.

''Baba!　Actually, I'm a fairy tamer now.　Come on, Fleur, get me some yakisoba bread!

"You're on your own...

Haha, you're still exactly the same.

Sharon let out a sigh with a dumbfounded look on her face, but she scurried around and tilted her head in the air.

'Speaking of which, where are you, your brother and Elena?'

'Huh?　Oh, we're going back to Hajime Village by ourselves this time. That's why I left my brother and Elena behind!

You left it behind..... Well, if you have that elven boy over there, the escort seems to be fine. It's late, but congratulations on your win.

"Ehehee. Thanks, sweetie.

He was happy to have a girl he'd never met compliment him on his skills, and Jupiter smiled a little shyly.

But he doesn't notice.

The girl in front of him, who is speaking in a mature manner, is two years younger than him, let alone nee-chan.......

'So, I have one more question. Didn't my twin sister come to you guys just recently?　His name is Cologne, and he looks very much like me.

'No, I met Sharon's dad and mom when I delivered the letter before, but I haven't seen my sister!

So....

Hearing Satsuki's answer, Sharon mumbled something and pondered with a difficult look on her face.

''Sharon, if you have a message for me, shall I tell Onii-chan?

''No it's fine. I came all the way here from the Holy King's Capital and you interrupted my return trip and made me turn back into a dragonfly.

I see.

In fact, if you use Fleur's space transfer (Chikara), you can return in an instant, but according to Harl, it's a 'top-secret secret outside the gate'.

Even if it is Sharon, who is an acquaintance of mine, I can't reveal this fact.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

"You really are just like your brother when you want to get involved in other people's problems. But what you have to do now is to go back to your parents' house and show them how well you are doing, right?　It's enough that you cared about me.

...Yeah, thanks.

Hmmm... It's weird to be thanked here, though.

Satsuki couldn't help but laugh as Sharon caught her giggling.

''Well. It's almost dark, so let's break up soon.''

Yeah. Well, I guess I'll have to talk to you later.

Yeah, I'll see you around.

And after everyone exchanged their goodbyes, Sharon took the two juniors and headed towards the magic school.

''.........That ne'er-do-well, at first glance, she looked scary, but she seemed to be a good person.''

Well, you're looking pretty good for a Jupiter. Well done.

I don't understand your tone of voice.

But it's a shame you don't get the point.

Essentially?

~~

＜Magic City Emera City, Innkeeper.

'Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

So I went back to the inn and explained all this stuff with Sharon to Jupiter.

Of course, like Jupiter, I also tell her that her fate has changed because of the actions of Onii and Elena.

It's a good thing that you're two years younger than me.

'Onii-chan, I heard you didn't even know you were traveling with him for two years~'

Originally, Sharon-chan was destined to drop out of the magic school and be invited by the brave Kanemitsu to go on a journey to slay the Demon King.

Onii-chan was also a member of the same heroic party and acted together with them for two years, but they had no idea that Sharon was from the Holy King's Capital or that she was even ten years old.

''But..... I don't know if it's something that I, who was supposed to die, can say, but.......Nee-chan, is it okay to change history like this?''

It is true that we have been traveling through Onii-chan's diary, but according to the events described in the diary, not only Jupiter, but also child dragons Pete and Haruru and the light spirit Suimei should have actually died.

Even Sharon-chan would never have been happy, since she had been on a life-threatening adventure all the time with the pain of loneliness that she couldn't tell anyone about.

I think what you're doing is right, Onii-chan. It's a good thing that history will be changed, but everyone was still happy and smiling. And besides--

?

"I'd rather be with you in a world like this than a world where Jupiter is dead.

!

I'm going to tell Jupiter honestly what I'm thinking right now.....

I didn't expect a big cry!

Jupiter was crying hysterically and womping away without being noticed.

'Hey, hey, Jupiter!

"Ugh, I'm so glad I met Satsuki!　Woohoo!''

Oh dear...

As I was scratching my head with a troubled look on my face, Harl and Fleur peeked out from the hood.

I'm happy for you, boy.

"As many tears ... as there are ... will make you stronger.

'..........Utterly and utterly!　Sit up, boy!

I said something like what my mother used to say to my brother in the past, and while I stroked the sobbing Jupiter's head a little roughly, I felt a little happy, as if I had a whiny little brother.
