This time, there are some scenes with intense intertwining.
“…That’s what happened. Mom’s face back then.”
“No, she really looked troubled.”
“Ugh, is that so?”
Kent and Rachel were in bed, reminiscing about their previous world. After showering, they both changed into their respective jerseys and snuggled into bed, but they were so engrossed in reminiscing about old memories that quite some time had passed.
Knock knock.
“Kent, Rachel, good morning! Breakfast is ready. Should I bring it to your room?”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the room door, and Catherine’s voice was heard from outside.
“Good morning, Catherine. Thank you, I’m coming, it’s okay.”
“Understood~”
Kent understood that Catherine hadn’t opened the door out of consideration for the possibility that he and Rachel might be engaged in intimacy, and gratefully replied to her through the door. Hearing his words, she sounded relieved, and after a brief, unprobing remark, her footsteps faded away.
“Rachel, I’m hungry. Shall we go eat?”
“Ugh, I wanted to be with you longer, big brother. Ah, I forgot. Big brother! *Chu*”
“Whoa!”
When Kent invited her to breakfast, Rachel looked very disappointed. However, since she was also hungry, she couldn’t skip the meal and reluctantly decided to go. Just then, Rachel seemed to remember something and pressed her lips against Kent’s.
“Hehe, it’s a good morning kiss!”
“Ugh. You’re a cute one.”
“Eek!”
As Rachel said happily, Kent found her face so endearing that he unconsciously hugged her.
“Big brother, do you want to?”
“If you say things like that, I might actually do it.”
“Eeeek, big brother is going to attack me!”
Kent and Rachel began to affectionately tease each other again.
“Noooooooo, no! Not there! Ahh!”
“Huh?!”
Just as Kent and Rachel were getting into a good mood, Carol’s scream was suddenly heard.
“Carol!”
“Carol!”
Kent and Rachel jumped out of bed and hurried to the room where the scream had come from.
“Kent, Rachel, ahh, don’t put your finger in!”
The voice of Carol came from the room that Carol originally used, but was now mainly used by Catherine. Marie was sleeping in the bed, and Carol had been caught by her and was almost undressed. Marie’s hand was in Carol’s private parts, and to Kent and Rachel’s eyes, it looked like fingers were inserted there.
“Carol, it seems you failed to wake Mother up.”
“Don’t say that, help me! It’s deep, my finger is deep. No, no, if you put it that far in, ahh!”
Catherine entered the room a moment later and looked stunned at the scene.
“Hiccup, it’s not there, where’s Kent’s impressive thing in my crotch, sob…”
Meanwhile, Marie was fumbling with Carol’s private parts in her sleep, crying and muttering in her sleep.
“Marie, please wake up. It’s morning.”
“Hehe, I hear Kent’s voice. I’ll make you cum now.”
Mitsuhiko reluctantly called out to her. Marie, sensing Kent’s presence, exclaimed happily.
“Ahh, no, if you do that, I’ll cum, I’ll cummmm!”
Carol was made to cum by a sleepy Marie.
“Carol, I’m so sorry. It seems I have restless sleep and ended up causing trouble again.”
Marie’s mornings were always accompanied by various commotions, but upon waking, she realized what she had done and profusely apologized to Carol.
“It’s okay. It’s also my fault for being careless and getting caught.”
Despite this exchange, everyone gathered for breakfast. Marie kept apologizing to Carol during that time.
“Ah, that’s right. I’m so happy that Kent has recovered. I couldn’t do anything on my own, but as expected, the bond between siblings is amazing. Rachel, thank you for helping Kent recover. And from now on, as those who love Kent, please go easy on me. Last night, I could hear the three of you so clearly, and I tossed and turned, unable to sleep.”
“No, more than me, Carol worked hard this time. I didn’t realize she had been planning to get us together all along, sensing my and my brother’s feelings. Marie, were we perhaps too loud to sleep?”
Marie thanked Rachel for helping Kent recover and welcomed her as a fellow comrade. Although Rachel had mixed feelings since Carol had orchestrated this time, she acknowledged her achievement.
“…Mother was fast asleep, though.”
“What is this child saying when we’re having such a nice conversation?”
Catherine muttered softly, and Marie tried to change the subject as if she was being oblivious.
“Speaking of which, I don’t see Al.”
“Al went to the shop because he has something to tell Emily.”
Hanako hadn’t returned yet, but since Al was nowhere to be seen, Kent asked about it, and Catherine mentioned he had gone to the shop.
“‘Emily is at the shop? What do you mean?”
Kent asked, excited, as Emily’s name, whom he thought had disappeared, came from Catherine’s mouth.
“When we were fighting the Duchy’s Army, our shop was destroyed, and I think Emily seemed to have vanished, but that’s not quite right. Because the shop was destroyed, the prosperity we had built up was reset. As a result, Emily lost her power and returned to her pre-Shop-attached fairy form. I realized this time that Emily seems to have evolved from an old fork into a Shop-attached fairy. How that fork gained magic power and became a fairy through what means remains a mystery.”
“If my parents were alive, I might have been able to ask them, but now there’s no way to know how the fork was treated.”
Catherine told Kent about what happened after Emily had disappeared. Since Marie, who had originally lived with the fork, didn’t know how it evolved into a fairy, it was impossible to trace.
“By the way, I was the one who found the fork.”
“Thank you, Catherine.”
“Meow, praise me more!”
Catherine appealed for her contribution and seemed delighted to receive Kent’s gratitude.
“So, with Al’s help, we returned Emily, who was in the form of a fork, to her state as a Shop-attached fairy. However, with the shop in this condition, she only has about the same power as when you first met her, Kent.”
“In other words, if we restore the shop to a state where business can be conducted, Emily’s power will return to some extent?”
“I suppose so. The power of a Shop-attached fairy changes depending on the prosperity of the shop.”
Kent asked Catherine how a Shop-attached fairy could regain her power.
“Marie.”
“Yes?”
“I can no longer order goods through the terminal, but will you continue to employ me at your shop?”
Kent asked Marie with a serious expression.
“The name is mine, but I, Kent, Carol, Rachel, Catherine, Josette, Elnet, Patty, and the fairies… we all own this shop together. So, Kent, the answer is the same as if you asked me now. Let’s all put our heads together and rebuild this shop.”
“Ugh, Marie!”
“Ahaha, Kent, you’re like a child. But you can stay like this as long as you want.”
Kent was grateful to Marie, who welcomed him warmly like a mother. Then, burying his face in the swell of her ample bosom, he cried as if to release his emotions.
