After having lunch with Dr. Vier, I decided to visit Isis-san’s castle. I could have gone to Alice’s miscellaneous goods store first, but since I’m using Teleportation Magic to travel, the effort in going to either place would have been the same. Besides, I could just go to Alice’s miscellaneous goods store later from the basement of my house, so I decided to postpone my visit to her later.
When I arrived at Isis-san’s castle, Polaris-san greeted me and guided me to the place where Isis-san was.
[Eh? Lillywood-san is also here?]
[Yes, she just arrived a few minutes ago. She’s talking with Isis-sama at the moment. I have already confirmed with them that there is no problem if Miyama Kaito-sama is present.]
[I see, so Lillywood-san just came to visit?]
[I don’t know what the purpose of her visit was, but it seemed that Lillywood-sama had a difficult look on her face.]
[A difficult look?]
I don’t know what’s going on, but for Lillywood-san to have a difficult look on her face, that means she didn’t come to visit simply to hang out with Isis-san or to have a chat with her.
In that case, did some sort of trouble occur? As I had such a thought in mind, when I entered the room that Polaris-san guided me too, just as I was told, Isis-san and Lillywood-san were there.
[Hello, Isis-san, Lillywood-san.]
[……Kaito…… Welcome….. I’m glad…… you came.]
“Hello, Kaito-san. What a coincidence, meeting you here.”
After a quick greeting, I took a seat and Polaris-san prepared me a cup of tea, after which she left with a bow.
After seeing them off, I called out to them again.
[Even so, it really is a coincidence, isn’t it? Did Lillywood-san just come in a little while ago?]
[……Unnn…… She said she wanted to talk to me about something?]
“Yes, in a way, Kaito-san’s arrival could facilitate this conversation. Kaito-san, just to confirm, but is it true that you will be opening a stall at Archlesia Empire’s Founding Festival.”
[Eh? Yes, that’s right?]
What Lillywood-san asked me was the opening of a stall at Archlesia Empire’s Founding Festival. Incidentally, I had told Isis-san before, but I had not told Lillywood-san about it, so it’s surprising that she didn’t know about it.
[I’ll be opening a stall with Amel-san, a Winged whom I met at a tea party to which Lillywood-san invited me before.]
[……What kind of stall…… are you going to set up this time?]
[I’m planning to open a general store. We’ll handle products from Alice’s store and handmade accessories.]
“……Handmade…… accessories?”
When I talked to Isis-san about the content of the stall, it hadn’t been decided yet, so when I explained it again, Lillywood-san looked as if she heard that the world had ended.
[……Lillywood-san?]
“K- Kaito-san, just to confirm…… but those handmade accessories, does that also include accessories made by Kaito-san?”
[Yes, just a few of them……]
“……………………I see.”
I wonder why? The expression on her face looked as if she had given up on everything…… Ahh, that’s the same look Chris-san had before. Ahh, I see, it makes sense now. Could it be that Lillywood-san is also worried about the same thing as Chris-san?
[Ahh, Lillywood-san, please don’t worry. I’ve also considered how to handle Shiro-san and Eden-san, and I’ve also consulted with Alice to make sure I have all the information I need.]
“Ah, s- so that’s how it is…… May I ask you a little more about that?”
It seems my prediction was correct, as Lillywood-san was clearly relieved and asked for an explanation, so I told her that I had prepared separate accessories for my lovers and Eden-san.
“……That’s great. Really…… It seems that my worries turned out to be groundless. Actually, because of that, I was thinking of persuading Isis-san to reconsider attending Archlesia Empire’s Founding Festival…… but it looks like that won’t be necessary.”
It seemed that Lillywood-san’s business here was to persuade Isis-san not to participate in the Founding Festival. Just as Fate-san had mentioned before, it seems that she is concerned about the balance of power among the three countries.
Well, in any case, Lillywood-san’s expression clearly brightened up, so I think it was really fortunate that I was able to explain it at this time.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Wait, the flow of things here doesn’t really look good…… From the looks of things, this chapter was completely cut off so that it could be used to talk about giving the accessory to Isis…… but it doesn’t look good…… The flow of things doesn’t look good.]
