Five years later
For the past five years, Sara Macdougal had been able to hide her feelings. She hadn't shared it with anyone, not even Kaolla. She had been good at keeping her feelings.
When Keitaro announced he was going to follow in Seta's footsteps and become an archeologist, she couldn't be happier that her step-dad had a successor. Because Keitaro become a full-time archeologist, he was unable to continue his responsibilities as manager and he left the job to his aunt Haruka who returned to become manager again.
Sara's heart was so broken as she learned Keitaro was going to get married to Naru, she refused to attend their wedding despite the insistence of others including Seta and Haruka.
She spent all day sitting at Auntie Haruka's restaurant, staring at the Hinata inn far away from here for it was held as the place of Keitaro's wedding reception. When Sara viewed the couple entering their limo from her distance, she buried her face in her hands as the tears rolled down her cheeks.
"It isn't fair," Sara sobbed. Then she yelled, "IT ISN"T FAIR!!!"
Another five years later
Sara grew up into a petite young woman of 19 years. The blonde woman had her hair cut to neck length. She stopped using ponytails after she turned 17. Sara lived in Hinata Inn Dormitory, helping her Aunt manage the Inn since before Keitaro's wedding.
Motoko, Naru, Shinobu, Kaolla and Mistune already had left the dormitory after they got married. Thus only the original residents Sara and Haruka remained in the Inn with new occupants, most of which were Tokyo University students.
While enrolling in Tokyo University where Keitaro and Naru used to study, she decided to apply for the job of an assistant to Keitaro. One day, the teenager stepped in Keitaro's office and made her announcement right to his face.
"Hello, Sara-kun," greeted Keitaro.
"Hi, Keitaro. I noticed a flyer on your door, saying you need an assistant."
"Yes."
"I want to be your assistant," Sara announced
Dropping his jaw, he exclaimed, "You've got to be kidding, Sara."
"Nope," she replied. "Keitaro, I am totally serious."
"But why me? Why not your stepfather?"
"I thought about it but I figured you need an assistant more than Dad does."
"Why?" asked Keitaro who stared puzzled at her.
"Because Seta has been in that job for years before you come along and he doesn't need an assistant," Sara rebuked.
"Give me a reason why should I hire you?"
"I'll give you two reasons," Sara responded. "Number one is because I'm used to traveling around the world on Dad's archeological expeditions. Number two is I will try to be the best assistant you'll ever have."
"And you are the first assistant I have," sighed Keitaro.
"I am?" Sara gasped. "Does this mean you're going to hire me?"
"Isn't it obvious, Sara?"
"Oh, thank you. I couldn't be happier," shouted Sara who threw her arms around the young archeologist's neck and hugged him. He gently pushed her away and advised, "Please don't show your enthusiasm too much."
"I'm sorry, Keitaro. Should I do an application?" Sara inquired.
"No need, Sara. Give me your class schedule and I will make sure the time of your classes will not conflict with your job's time."
"Yes, sir." Sara replied, quickly giving him a copy of her class schedule.
"I will inform you of your tomorrow shift when I come to Hinata Inn for dinner tonight."
"Thank you. I promise I'll come here by tomorrow. Please visit us at Hinata Inn tonight," she reminded him.
"I will," Keitaro said.
"Bye, Keitaro,." Sara said.
At the moment the teenage woman exited and shut the office door, she started to run and jump in joy.
