When the sun almost completely set, Sajo Ayaka finished the work at hand. Looking at the gloomy sky outside, she subconsciously patted her head.
"It's over. I forgot to tell my father that I would be going back later today. He shouldn't be worried."
With an uneasy feeling, Sajo Ayaka embarked on the way home, took out the key and opened the door with ease, and walked through the glass greenhouse that she usually took care of carefully.
The napping crows sensed her return, flew over her head and circled, making a sharp "quacking" sound, as if to welcome her.
Not to be outdone, other pigeons made a "coo" sound, and black and white intertwined together to form a small whirlwind.
Sajo Ayaka covered her face with her hands and trotted away from the glass greenhouse, but inevitably there were some crow and dove feathers stuck to her body.
"Really, the uniform is almost stained. This is the only clean uniform I have left."
Sajo Ayaka cooed, took off the feathers stuck to her body, and then opened the door to her home.
"--I'm back!"
What lingered on the tip of her nose was the aroma of food permeating the air. She could be sure and certain that this was definitely not the level of her father's cooking skills.
Although my father often cooks, to be fair, his cooking skills can only be said to be average, so since he grew up, she has always been the one doing the cooking.
But this smell seems very familiar...
"Ah, is Ayakashi back? Welcome back, Ayakashi. By the way, go wash your hands first. Dinner will be ready soon. There is your favorite fried fish."
A familiar voice sounded in her ears. It was a voice that could only be heard in dreams. Ayaka Sajo's body trembled slightly, her vagina shrank, and she almost couldn't believe her ears.
She didn't know how she moved her body. When she came to her senses, she had already arrived at the door of the kitchen.
That familiar figure was busy in the kitchen, moving quickly but gracefully. The kitchen was part of the vast hall of the castle, and that person looked like the princess dancing in circles there.
"elder sister……?!"
Sajo Ayaka could hardly believe her eyes. The person busy in the kitchen was actually her sister whom she had not seen for ten years.
In her memory, her sister was a very powerful person. She was cute, no, I should say beautiful, and had a good mind. She was a perfect person who knew everything. Although she couldn’t remember her mother’s appearance, she always felt that her mother must have looked like her when she was alive.
Like this.
——With sparkling and dazzling beauty.
His eyelids couldn't help but become moist, and large tears fell across his cheeks and fell to the ground.
But such a beautiful and perfect sister disappeared ten years ago, completely disappearing from home. Every time I asked my father where my sister was, the answer I got was that she had gone to a very far away place.
When I was a child, I was ignorant and didn't know the meaning of this sentence. It wasn't until I grew up that I understood what it meant to go to a far away place.
Her father must have been very sad after losing her sister, so she became sensible and never mentioned her sister to her father again, for fear of making him sad again.
But, but...
"Why are Ayaka crying?"
My sister stood in front of me, smiling softly in the light.
She is indeed my sister, she is still so beautiful, her smile is prettier than anything else, and she is cuter than any princess in a picture book or doll.
I haven't seen such a sister for ten years.
"Maybe I'm too excited because I haven't seen you for ten years."
A strange man's voice sounded, which made Sajo Ayaka come back to her senses. She reached out her hand and wiped away the tears on her cheeks. She stretched out her arms and hugged Sajo Aika tightly, her voice choked with sobs.
Said,
"Welcome home, sister Aige, I really miss you."
"Well, I miss you too, Ayaka."
Sajo Aige stroked Sajo Ayaka's head and said softly,
"We haven't seen each other for ten years, and Ayaka has turned into such a beautiful girl. Time is really magical."
Of course, what Sajo Ayaka didn't see was that Ayaka's eyes once again showed a trace of depression, because Ayaka, who was much shorter than herself back then, was now much taller than her sister, and her growth was also the same.
If two people go out now, I'm afraid most people will think that Sayou Ayaka is the older sister.
Thinking again that it had taken ten years for her to grow five centimeters taller, Shajo Aige became even more depressed. She subconsciously looked in the direction of Mikael, only to see his face twitching uncontrollably.
She curled her lips and glared at him gently.
Mikael quickly covered his mouth, but the smile that almost overflowed from his eyes revealed his true thoughts.
After hugging for more than five minutes, Sajo Ayaka let go of her embrace. She looked at her sister carefully. Compared with the sister in her memory, her current sister was even more beautiful. Well... other aspects were different from those in her memory.
Not that big.
Only then did she notice her father, who was also busy in the kitchen, and the strange, handsome young man with white hair.
Hmm... he shouldn't be a stranger. I still feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity when I look at him. I must have seen him somewhere.
Wait a moment,
Sajo Ayaka couldn't help but widen her eyes. She remembered where she had seen the young man in front of her. It was ten years ago. If she remembered correctly, his name should be...
"Long time no see, Ayaka. My name is Mikael Stefan Animsfia. Of course, just call me Mikael. We have met before."
Sajo Ayaka held Mikael's outstretched hand, watched him wink at her, and showed a sly smile.
"Of course, I prefer you to call me brother-in-law."
【Wait, what brother-in-law?!】
Sajo Ayaka's body froze. She stared at the white-haired young man in front of her, then looked at her father, and found that there was no other expression on his face, as if he had already known it.
"Father, when you said that my sister went to a distant place, you meant..."
After hesitating for a moment, she asked the biggest question in her heart.
"Oh, you said this, Aige did go to a very far away place, and she has a new life after getting married, so it is difficult to come back."
[So it’s just far away in a literal sense?!]
The corners of Sajo Ayaka's mouth twitched slightly. Although she still looked like a quiet girl on the outside, she was already roaring in her heart.
Since it is literally far away, don’t say it in such a vague way! It made me think that my sister and mother had both passed away, and I was still sad for a long time!
She stared at her father resentfully, as if aware of her daughter's dissatisfaction. Hiroki Shajo coughed slightly and turned his head to look in another direction.
To be honest, he really didn't think that Ai Ge could come back. After all, apart from the second magic, there was no other way to travel through parallel worlds. Even if there were, it would be extremely difficult.
So in his heart, he always thought that he would never see Aige again, and what he said to Sajo Ayaka was also vague.
After all, dying and going to a parallel world are almost the same thing, right?
