Ch. 2: Sharon's Wish
Sharon: “Hey, grant my wish! Come on! Please!!”
Even though I said I wasn’t a fairy from a lamp, Sharon kept going on in that way.
OO: “I’m not a fairy. And what’s a Fairy of the Lamp anyway…”
Sharon: “Ah playing dumb again! The person who meets the Fairy of the Lamp gets their wish granted! It’s a legend around here! That’s why you have to grant my wish.”

Like I said, that’s not it (SUN)

Your wish? (MOON)
Sharon: “Make me super rich!”
R-rich…?
His eyes twinkled as he spoke, then…
??: “Well if it ain’t Sharon!”
I looked toward the voice, and a large group of camels carrying luggage, like a caravan, passed by.
Merchant Man: “Been a while! I haven’t seen ya, so I was gettin’ worried.”
Sharon: “Sorry! I just couldn’t move around for a bit.”
Merchant Man: “Then I’d like ya to be a guard again. Seems like it’ll be a long trip. You may be short, but you’ve got some good arms on ya!”
Sharon: “Don’t call me short! But I gotcha! I expect a reward ya know?”
Merchant Man: “Well now, that depends on your work. I’ll get in touch again later.”
Saying so, the man waved and left.
Sharon: “They’re a caravan group. Once in a while I work for them as a guard, and get paid for it.”
OO: “I see.”
He works…even though he’s a prince?
While holding onto that question, I stared at him.
Sharon: “Right, let’s go!”
Sharon suddenly grabbed my hand and started walking.
OO: “W-where are we going?”
Sharon: “The town. It’ll get dark soon.”
Looking closely, I saw a number of faded scars on Sharon’s hand and arm.
From when he was a guard…? I wonder why he has such a need for money when he’s a prince.
As I was pulled along by his strong arm, the sun sank into the horizon and we headed towards the town.
OO: "Like I keep saying, I’m not this Fairy of the Lamp."
Sharon: “Don’t say that! The color of your hair, your eyes, your skin…it’s all just like the legend says!
This is a problem…
OO: “And what is your wish?”
Sharon: “Oh! You’re finally interested!
Sharon’s whole face lit up in a smile, and he put his hands on his hips.
