Magic City Sharia, has not changed at all from two months ago.
My hometown now under construction, enlarged and is almost finished.
That’s right.
Many feelings are accumulated inside my chest.
Orsted promised my family's safety.
To reunite with my family only to find Sharia turned into a pile of ashes and dust.
Donning a headband, Ariel and I would enter into war planning with our president.
Well, I’m relieved that I could joke about nothing in particular.
Passing through the square, we arrived in front our house.
There is no change whatsoever to my house.
It is not burnt, frozen, nor covered in thorns..
Beat was photosynthesizing in the garden, shaking its branch.
Jirou the Armadillo was taking a nap in the kennel.
Peaceful.
"I’m home!"
"Welcome home!"
Upon opening the front door, with a [Tatatata], Aisha jumped out.
Full of spirit, she jumped straight into my chest.
I'm fine.
Above all, this does not seem to change.
"The souvenirs? Have you bought souvenirs?"
"Yes, here is yours."
In a split second, Eris retrieved a box from the luggage.
Suddenly moving away from me, Aisha received it.
"Wow! Eris-nee, thank you!"
Aisha opened the box immediately and removed what was inside.
A ceramic that looks like a rice paddle.
An exquisite relief is engraved on the handle.
Looking at it, Aisha’s eyes was beaming.
"It’s a mirror! Like the one I saw at Shirone!"
"Yes."
Perhaps because of trade with Begaritto continent, Asura kingdom was selling many glasswork products.
Because it was only a short traveling time this time, I mainly bought glassworks and mirrors.
"Wo~~w......amazi~~ing! It’s amazing!"
"Fufun, you seem to like it!"
Looking at Aisha making a happy face, Eris boasted that she chose it with Sylphy.
Although Eris’s sense is not bad, her original choice was too simple.
"When I look at myself, I am really cute...!"
While Aisha is praising herself, she is spinning round and round.
Lilia comes out a moment later, hitting Aisha on the head and adding in some rotation.
Watching a full spirited Aisha, somehow I feel relieved.
They’re alright and full of vigor.
"... Lilia-san, Nothing strange happened right?"
I asked for now.
Lilia nodded lightly, expressionless as usual.
"Yes, we’re all alright."
"Is that so."
It’s good.
It was really good.
And still clinging to my chest, Aisha’s expression suddenly darkened.
"Oh! But Onii-chan... Roxy-nee is..."
Roxy!?
What happen to Roxy!?
... No way, a miscarriage!?
No, if it’s like that Lilia would have told me.
Or did she have to be hospitalized because her condition is bad?
"Roxy-nee~ is..."
And, when Aisha just stopped her words.
My line of sight is directed to a door leading to the living room.
From there, Roxy’s face pokes out.
It looks like she is in low spirits.
"Roxy, I’m back."
At least, she does not look unhealthy.
I cannot see, but she doesn’t look injured.
She is very healthy-looking.
"Rudi, welcome back."
Saying that, she remained in that pose and replied without coming here.
"I expected it to take a little more time, but it seems everything went well since you’ve come back as planned."
"Yes. Ariel-sama won the political war safely "
Well, it’s not complete victory yet,
News that [Princess Ariel is dead!] might arrive at a later date...
Well, there is no need to say such a thing.
It’s because those are the President’s instructions.
"Really? That’s good."
Roxy still doesn’t reveal herself.
She is only showing her face.
Only face, it can’t be that her body became more plump.
You mean.....Roxy has become chubby!?
Roxy's gonna say, there is a myth that her body will continue to become more plump even after giving birth!
