Sage Skyfall's Card story – Lucky Person

[kozvme]

Sage: (I have to hurry~!

Only half an hour left until the bakery opens! If I get in line now, I should be able to get those popular baguettes!

I heard Nico is going to make bruschetta for dinner, so I want to have some tasty baguettes on hand—)

???: Um...

Sage: !?

Teo: Excuse me, you're from HELIOS, right?

Sage: Huh-? Y- Yes! Yes, I am...

Teo: I'm here on vacation and... I think I've seen you on social media...

Sage: Woah! Is that why you called out to me? Thank you ♪

Teo: (... He's the guy who often posts pics of big bro on HeliChan.

His name comes up a lot in big bro's posts, too. I thought I'd check him out, so I tried to talk to him, but... Hmm?

Maybe I should just keep an eye on him for a bit. If he's a jerk, what should I do~...?)

Are you on your way to Helios Tower? If so, I'd love to tag along... I might get lost on my own.

Sage: Absolutely! I was actually on my way there, so let's go together ♪

(I can get the baguettes at other shops as well... helping others is what really matters!)

 

Teo: Yawn... so sleepy...

Sage: I have to say, you're quite tall! What's your height?

Teo: 198.

Sage: W- Wow...! You don't see people that tall around here very often!

Teo: ......

Sage: (It seems like I'm being watched... or more like, I'm being looked down on... Do I have something on my head?)

Err~... 

Oh?

Teo: What?

Sage: Um... I hope this doesn't come off as rude, but you look a lot like someone I know.

Do you happen to know a hero named Nico? Oh, maybe I should I show you a photo?

Teo: I know him.

Sage: Waah, you know him!? ♪ I felt like there was some kind of resemblance, you know?

Teo: Aren't we totally different?

Sage: Well... your heights and appearances are completely different, but if you look closely at each part of your faces, you actually resemble each other a lot...?

Teo: ......

Sage: Oh, I'm really sorry. That was kind of rude, wasn't it...  

Teo: ...... Heh ♪

 

Sage: Here we are! This is Helios Tower ♪

Teo: Oh, we're here already. When did that happen――

???: Teo?

Teo & Sage: !?
 

Nico: Why are you with Sage?

Teo: Big bro...!

Sage: Wait, huh? Big brother?


 

Oh, so you're Nico's younger brother~ That explains the resemblance!

Nico: Why did you lie about coming here on vacation?

Teo: W-Well, that's...

 

Sage: Hmm? A message... from Licht-kun.

(『I heard on the TV that Aries should be careful. They said something might happen on your way to work.

But they also said that a tall person is your lucky charm, so if you stay close to someone tall, you should be fine』...?)

 

 

Nico: ――Sage is a nice guy, right?

Teo: ... I guess? He's normal.

Nico: ......

No funny business, okay?

Teo: No funny business...

Sage: The tall person!!

Teo & Nico: ...?

Sage: I see, it's because I was with Teo-kun that I made it here safely. I can't imagine what would have happened if I had gone to buy those baguettes instead...

Thank you, Teo-kun! You really saved me! Can you believe this? It feels like a miracle...

Ah, how about we take this chance to invite Teo-kun over for dinner tonight?

I've been eager to meet him, so I'd love to talk more. And of course, I'll be sure to thank him plenty!

Teo: Thank me for what? I haven't done anything…

Nico: In fact, it's Teo who owes you thanks.

Sage: No, that's not true! Teo-kun is my lucky person, after all! ♪
