The nature of Mikael and Shajo Aige's return this time is similar to that of a family visit. They simply come out to relax. After all, Chaldea does not need Aige to worry about it. Even if the director is not there, it will continue to operate as usual.
Returning to his hometown after ten years of absence, Shajo Aige didn't have much of a feeling, except that the door of Shajo's mansion looked more weathered, and it was replaced with an electronic bell that matched the times.
Ding Dong——
Mikael stretched out his hand and pressed it. After waiting for a short time, the door slowly opened, and a familiar figure stood in the shadow, looking at the two people standing in front of the door, with undisguised surprise on his face.
Hiroki Shajo is still the same, but his hair looks much whiter and his stature is a bit stooped. Now he doesn't look like the head of a famous magic family at all, but like an ordinary middle-aged man who is oppressed by life.
Same as office workers.
"Love song...?"
Looking at the girl standing in front of him, he could hardly believe his eyes. He murmured to himself and subconsciously stretched out his hand to rub his eyes.
"Father, I'm back."
………
………
The layout of Shatiao Mansion is roughly the same as it was ten years ago. There are beautiful flowers blooming in the glass greenhouse, and it can be seen that someone often takes care of it carefully.
"Hey, Ayakashi isn't here? I still have a gift I want to give her."
Sajo Aige didn't see Sajo Ayaka, so she couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Ayaka went to school and won't be back until evening."
Shajo Hiroki made a pot of black tea and then took out some snacks. He seemed to be in a very happy mood, perhaps because Shajo Aige came back.
"I haven't seen Ayaka for many years, I'm really looking forward to it."
Hiroki Sajo looked at Sajo Aige and Mikael, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated.
"What's wrong, father?"
"No, I feel relieved when I see you now. If your mother knew about it, she would also be very happy."
Shajo Hiroki shook his head, sighed softly, then looked in the direction of Mikael, and said solemnly,
"I would also like to thank you for this, Mikael. If it weren't for you, Aige wouldn't have found her own happiness."
"There's no need to say thank you. Ai Ge is also my wife. Isn't it what I should do as a husband to make my wife happy?"
Mikael waved his hand, then picked up the black tea and took a sip. Sure enough, it still had the same familiar taste.
"Yes, it is the husband's responsibility to make his wife happy, and it is my responsibility as a father to make my daughter happy. I have only understood this truth over the years. I am really an incompetent father."
As people get older, they like to talk about the past and chatter about things in the past. Even Hiroki Shajo is no exception. Although he is only middle-aged, mentally he already has the mentality of an elderly person.
The black magic inherited from the Sajo family is not suitable for Sajo Ayaka. No matter how hard she tries, all she can really use is simple engineering magic. And with the development of the times, black magic will only become increasingly declining and disappear.
It's just a matter of time in history.
What he hopes now is that his daughters can obtain their own happiness. This is the little wish of Hiroki Sajo as a father, and it is also the only wish.

"Ayaka, I have to trouble you to handle these documents."
In the student union's office, Sajo Ayaka watched her senior sister place a large stack of documents in front of her, and circles could not help but appear in her eyes.
"Why are there so many...?"
She stretched out her trembling hands, picked up a document, and asked in a trembling voice.
"The president of the Linglong Pavilion is away these days, and I can't continue to handle many things. These documents are part of the backlog. I'm really sorry for you, Ayaka-chan."
The senior clasped her hands together and stuck out her tongue, deliberately trying to be cute.
"Ahhhh - okay, okay."
Sajo Ayaka nodded helplessly. After her senior sister left, she looked at herself reflected in the window glass and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
The girl reflected on the glass has shoulder-length jet-black hair, as if it had been dyed with ink. Her fair skin is like fine white porcelain, shining under the warm orange sunset. Under her black-framed eyes are a pair of
Clear blue eyes.
The girl's overall temperament looks quiet and soft, just like the white flowers that can be seen everywhere on the grassland.
“Ahhhh, it’s so annoying, so much work!
Sajo Ayaka took off her glasses and couldn't help complaining.
After taking off her glasses, both her hair and childish color became brighter. If Ayaka Sajo was an unknown white flower before, then she is now the brightest star in the night sky.
Dongdongdong——
There was a knock on the door of the student union office again, and she quickly put on her glasses and returned to her previous soft and quiet look.
"Please come in."
Miyazaki Yota heard the pleasant voice coming from behind the door, suppressed his surging heart, then took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.
The girl sitting at the table facing the door was so weak and quiet, but even the slightly old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses could not completely block the girl's regular facial features.
"Miyazaki-san, what can I do for you?"
Sajo Ayaka looked at the people who came in and couldn't help but sigh in her heart again. She felt that her luck was particularly bad today.
She didn't know much about Miyazaki Yota. She just knew that he was a classmate in the same class. He was a transfer student who transferred from Osaka a month ago. He had a very forthright personality, good popularity, and a somewhat handsome appearance.
The school is very lively and there are many girls who like him.
Under normal circumstances, this person named Miyazaki Yota and I would never have any intersection, but I don’t know where he went wrong, and one day he actually wrote a love letter to himself.
Fortunately, I destroyed it quickly and didn't let anyone know, otherwise my peaceful campus life would have been messed up.
Well, actually it's bad enough now.
"This is an application for a part-time job."
Miyazaki Yota took out the application form he had written in advance from his pocket and handed it to Sajo Ayaka.
The school they attended had extremely strict requirements for working outside their home, and they had to get a signature from the student union.
"oh."
Sajo Ayaka took the application form, glanced at it briefly, signed her name after confirming it was correct, and then returned it to Miyazaki Yota.
"Miyazaki-kun, do you have anything else to do?"
Looking at Sajo Ayaka's obvious indifferent attitude, Miyazaki Yota hesitated to speak. He planned to ask about "Sajo Love Song", but in the end he didn't say anything and could only scratch his head.
