Epilogue 

 ｢Ah well, she has been a handful since back then.｣

  She let out a sigh in frustration, her breath reeked of alcohol. Tetsu managed to put on a fake smile and praise her. 

 ｢You say that but you managed to build a connection with her, that’s really amazing.｣

  It seems like Sansa was enjoying Tetsu’s flattery. Tetsu was relieved that Sansa was in a good mood now and continued. 

 ｢But I’m relieved.｣

 ｢Huh? About what?｣

 ｢That you are you.｣

 ｢What are you sayingTetsu?｣

 ｢At the end of the day, you didn’t sell out Nanana-san and you didn’t kill the white fox either. ｣

 ｢It was a whim, I really don’t care about them. ｣

  Sansa looked away while saying that. Her cheeks were slightly red, it could have been due to the alcohol but could have been for some other reason too. 

 ｢I’m glad that I am your subordinate. ｣

  Sansa stood in front of Tetsu who was saying things like that with a straight face, lifted her leg, and stepped on him. Without showing any mercy she grinded her foot on him. 

 ｢Th….that hurts. ｣

 ｢Shut up! How can you say something like that while having me in front of you! You are really embarrassing! ｣

 ｢D.. did you feel embarrassed?｣

 ｢I’m not embarrassed! Shut up!｣

  Stomp stomp…

  And there was Tetsu lying on the ground all flattened since he got kicked too much. 

 ｢…..Ha, you are quite a handful. ｣

  Sansa put a jacket over him and left the room. 

 ｢Sleep tight.｣

  If it was as she had calculated what she had to do to save her reputation, nobody knows except Sansa. 

 ｢Oh sister! So you were here. ｣

  A girl wearing devilish clothes approached Sansa in the corridor and handed her a paper. 

Sansa looked at it and chuckled. 

 ｢So, it’s Yuiga Isshin. ｣

  ***

 ｢…..and it happened just like that….. ｣

  Nanana was smiling after she was done talking. Both of the people who were listening to her had different expressions. 

 ｢I don’t feel like winning at a casino and getting a pirate’s hidden treasure is a big deal, unlike you.｣

  Tensei sincerely thought of it that way after she was done listening to the swashbuckling story Nanana had just told them. 

 ｢What did you do after that, Nanana-dono?｣

 ｢I roamed around the world for about six months with Sansa and Ketekete after that. We experienced a lot of things in our journey. And at the end we were able to make enough money to make this Nanae Island. ｣

 ｢You are saying it like it was an easy task…..well, nonetheless. So, that was the trigger for all of this. ｣

 ｢Yeah, I was able to become friends with Ketekete thanks to that treasured sword. A thought occurred to me that there might be treasures that would make people smile like this…..there were a lot of other feelings too but I think I simply enjoy adventures like that. So, I wanted to experience more of it. I guess that’s how it was? ｣

 ｢I see. ｣

 ｢Jugo, how do you feel about my story? ｣

 ｢It was fun and it made me envious. ｣

 ｢What about it made you envious? ｣

 ｢That person called Sansa. ｣

  Jugo’s right hand was gripping and letting go of something. 

 ｢…..I’m not going to talk to you anymore. ｣

 ｢Eh, why! I didn’t do anything! ｣

 ｢Oi, Jugo. The right hand. ｣

  Tensai pointed it out and Jugo turned pale.

 ｢No, it isn’t like that Nanana-chan! I didn’t mean it like that! I just wanted to go on an adventure with you. I was envious that she was there with you. It isn’t like I want to cry tears of blood out of envy that she fondled your boobs! I wasn’t thinking about it, not even a bit! This mischievous right hand was acting on its own……｣

  Jugo was making excuses while Nanana was completely ignoring him. In the middle of all that Tensai asked. 

 ｢Speaking of your adventure, what is that white fox Ketekete doing now?｣

 ｢He was at this island till I died but I don’t know what happened to him after that. Maybe he went back to his own country or he is roaming around the world like when he was with us? Or maybe he is still somewhere around this island and looking over everyone. ｣

  She smiled and stared out of the window. She looked a bit lonely. 

 ｢I want to see him again.｣

  ***

  Hoshino D’arc was walking back home humming, he had just bought things to make dinner. But D’arc had to stop since he saw a white fox with a peculiarly large tail intersected her. 

 ｢Woah.｣

D’arc’s eyes started sparkling and he slowly approached the white fox. 

｢Come here, come here. ｣

She gestured at it. 

The white fox looked a bit proud and bold, it glanced at him and came closer to D’arc.D’arc was excited and happy, he cautiously extended his hand and patted the fox’s head. 

｢Woah, it’s fluffy. ｣

D’arc was full of happiness and the fox started sniffing the bag he was carrying. 

D’arc noticed it and inquired. 

｢Do you smell something nice? ｣

She searched his bag for something that the fox would like. 

｢Ah, is this what you want? ｣

It was the croquettes from the meat store in the shopping district he had bought for dinner. D’arc took out the paper bag with six croquettes in it and the fox started moving under it. 

｢Well then, I’ll share mine with you. ｣

D’arc bent down and took a coroquette out of the bag and suddenly the white fox stepped onto his knee and put its head inside the paper bag. 

｢Heh? Eh? Haha!｣

D’arc started panicking but the fox completely ignored him and started eating the croquettes inside the bag. 

｢N..no, not those. Eat this one!｣

D’arc started yelling and the fox took its head out after eating all of the croquettes in the bag and then it bit the one D’arc was holding. D’arc fell onto his back on the street in surprise. The fox swallowed the coroquette in its mouth and looked at D’arc who was sitting on the street in awe and then…..

｢It was a nice meal. ｣

  It lowered its head, came close to him, and licked his cheek and walked away like nothing had happened. 

  D’arc couldn’t move for a while. It took a lot of time to comprehend what had just happened. 

 ｢…..What am I going to do about today’s dinner? ｣

  D’arc didn’t talk about what happened that night to Tensai. He thought that she wouldn’t believe him if he said that a talking white fox had eaten all the croquettes. 

  ***

  It was on that night that Jugo got a message on his phone from Tsurezure Kagetora. Jugo and the rest of the adventure club’s members were informed there that Isshin was stabbed by someone and had been hospitalized. He was relieved to  hear that Isshin’s condition wasn’t severe and at the same time he was surprised reading the suspect’s name. 

 ｢Yun-chan is the one who…did it? ｣
