When I Saved a Girl Who Was About to Be Kidnapped and It Turned Out to Be a Princess Who Had Come to Visit in Secret
“Onee-chan, you found her….?!”
When I told her that I had found someone who looked like her sister, Mi-chan’s eyes lit up with joy.
“Yes, I think so,”
From what I’ve heard, she seems to be an adult woman older than us.
Based on Mi-chan’s age, the older sister’s age would probably be around ours even if we were to estimate it on the higher side.
However, Ayla-chan’s opinion is that since it’s unlikely that childrens would come to the amusement park alone, even though they are friends, the probability of it being an adult woman is higher.
“hnn……!”
I guess she was so excited that, unexpectedly, Mi-chan took my hand.
It seems like she want to hold hands and go to her sister
Since she seems to miss Luna, I thought she would hold hands with her, but–
“Onee-chan also ……!”
-No, it seems that she will hold hands with Luna as well.
Mi-chan held out her free left hand, and Luna happily took it.
It’s like Luna and I are a couple, and Mi-chan is our daughter.
“Fufu, It’s a nice sight, isn’t it?”
Ayla chan, the only one not in the circle, took a short distance from us and held up her phone.
She was probably taking pictures.
I think Luna would love this kind of scene, so she will probably send it to her later.
We continued on our way, taking Mi-chan with us to the place Ayla chan had told us about.
Then – we saw a familiar figure.
“Onee-chan ……!”
Mi-chan, who was holding hands with us, did not run up to her sister, but called out in a loud voice.
As a result, the sister, who was sweating a lot and looking around busily, turned her gaze toward us.
“Mi-chan, ……! Thank God!”
The older sister rushed toward us, as if her usual laid-back appearance was a lie.
She hugged Mi-chan tightly.
“O-onee-chan, it’s so painful…!”
“Moou, wouldn’t it be bad if you just disappeared…! I was really worried…!”
There is no doubt that the sister was worried.
The fact that it’s still hot, the large amount of sweat that is pouring out is proof that she was looking for Mi-chan very hard.
But still – there are some strange coincidences …….
“You guys protected Mi-chan, didn’t you, Kiriyama-kun and Alford-san?”
The sister looked at us and smiled warmly and kindly.
So I smiled back at her.
“I just happened to see her. More surprising than that, I didn’t think it was Sagami sensei that Mi-chan was looking for.”
Yes, the person who asked was, unexpectedly, our homeroom teacher, Sagami san.
Now I understand why Mi-chan said that Luna and her sister are similar.
They have a soft and gentle atmosphere and a beautiful face that attracts many people.
Above all, their feminine side is much larger than the other.
Of course, even the young Mi-chan would say that they looked alike.
“Onee-chan, do you know Onii chan and onee chan?”
Mi-chan tilted her head curiously, as if she had guessed our reaction.
“Yes, that’s right. Kiriyama-kun and Alford-san are students in my class.”
“Oh!~”
Mi-chan exclaimed happily at the strange coincidence.
Perhaps she senses a fateful encounter.
“That …… Ayla Sylvian san is also a student at the same school, though in a different class.”
Sagami-sensei introduces Ayla-chan to Mi-chan.
It seems she knows the students in the other class as well.
When Ayla-chan was introduced to Mi-chan, she bowed deeply to her.
Apparently pleased with that, Mi-chan let go of our hands and clapped back.
She is a pure child and very cute to watch.
“I need to introduce her to you all. As you may have already guessed, this is my niece Mip. Thank you for protecting her when she was lost.”
“Hmm, it’s Mi-chan. ……!”
Mi-chan cheerfully raised her right hand as she was introduced.
Our cheeks unintentionally relaxed.
We knew that Sagami sensei is single and does not have a child, but she was a niece, not a sister.
Then, in terms of how to call her, 《Obaa san (Aunt)》 should be the right way to call her–.
“Kiriyama-kun, I won’t say anything since you saved Mi-chan, but don’t even think of being rude, okay?”
Again I was being face-palmed, and unspeakable pressure was unleashed by Sagami sensei.
It was a strong pressure that made me feel as if I was in danger.
She must have been twenty-eight years old, so I guess she didn’t want to be called that yet.
Haha …… excuse me.”
I immediately apologized to Sagami-sensei because her tone of voice is calm and gentle sounding, but what she says is usually very dangerous.
She’s probably a troublesome person if I make her angry.
“Phew…… no no no~, you just have to understand~”
Exhaling as if to calm herself, Sagami sensei returned to her usual calm demeanor.
She must have been tense because she had been looking hard for Mi-chan earlier.
I was thankful for that, because the atmosphere here had me squealing.
“More importantly, Kiriyama-kun. A date with flowers in both hands is a good thing, isn’t it?”
“”–?!””
The smiling Sagami-sensei’s words made me and Luna gasp.
Then, I felt a gaze from the side, as if wanting to say something.
Of course, it was Luna who was the subject of my gaze.
“I’m on a date with Luna, but Ayla-chan is like…an escort.”
For a moment, I thought about saying “surveillance,” but I decided against it because it might cause unnecessary misunderstanding.
If I don’t at least make it clear that I’m not on a date with Ayla-chan, Luna will get upset.
“I see~. Well then, we’ll be going now so as not to disturb you. I’ll thank you next time.”
Probably out of concern for me and Luna.
Sagami-sensei took Mi-chan’s hand and tried to quickly take her away.
However–.
“no! ……! Mi-chan, I want to play with them….!”
Mi-chan, who had taken a liking to Luna, began to beg and plead.
I think it can’t be helped since she’s a young child, but… considering Luna, I don’t think it’s a good idea to act together here.
“No, Onee chan is on a date. We must not intrude.”
Sagami sensei seems to understand this and tries to persuade Mi-chan.
But Mi-chan, unconvinced, looks at me and Luna as if asking for help.
Her eyes, clinging to us like little animals, are piercing to our hearts.
“Sagami-sensei, we’re–“
“I’m sorry, Mi-chan.”
In the opposite of when I found Mi-chan, this time I interrupted Luna’s words.
I know that she is a kind and gentle person and she will give her hand to Mi-chan.
So I have to be the one to say no here.
“Just for today, I want you to put up. Let’s play together next time.”
“…………”
I tried to smile and talk to her, but Mi-chan looked at me with her ululating eyes as if she was about to cry.
The silent appeal almost made me feel a little heartbroken.
I knew that, but it was quite heartbreaking to ignore a young child’s wish.
“Mi-chan, it’s okay~! You can play with them anytime you want, so let’s have them play with you again sometime~.”
As I was about to be defeated by Mi-chan’s gaze, Sagami-sensei gave me some cover.
I don’t know where Mi-chan lives, but I can always contact her via Sagami sensei.
As expected, it’s not possible for me to see Mi-chan every day, but I’m sure I’ll be able to hang out with her from time to time.
“………………Hnn”
Mi-chan nodded her head reluctantly as the two of us tried to persuade her.
It seems like she understood.
The next time we play, I’ll have to work harder to make up for what she put up with today.
I thought about that as I gazed at the back of the small, lonely back that Sagami-sensei had taken
