Chapter 90: 90
In the depths of the Spirits’ Forest, I encountered one of the Six Kings, the pinnacle of the Demon Realm…… the World King, Lillywood Yggdrasil .
The person who has become one with the tree continues to speak calmly to the astonished me .
“I’m sorry to have surprised you . But in a way, it was fortunate that I met you here . I’ve been wanting to meet you once . ”
[Me?]
“Yes, I heard about you from Isis and Kuromueina, and I thought I’d give you a visit after the Sacred Tree Festival . ”
[Kuro and Isis-san huh…… Errr, Lillywood-sama……]
“You don’t need to add an honorific title . You can just call me by my name, like you call Isis and Kuromueina . ”
Regarding Lillywood-sama…… No, Lillywood-san, I had heard from Lilia-san and the other that she was one of the gentlest of the Six Kings, and it seems that what I heard were true, as Lillywood-san’s voice is gentle, and she speaks to me, a mere human being, in a very polite manner .
[Errr, well then, please let me call you Lillywood-san . You already know my name, but once again……My name is Miyama Kaito . It’s nice to meet you . ]
“Thank you for your courtesy . It’s nice to meet you too . It’s a great pleasure to meet you here . ”

[Ummm, why was Lillywood-san planning to visit me?]
I bow once to Lillywood-san, who politely returned my greeting .
And then, I asked what she meant when she said ” she was going to visit me after the Sacred Tree Festival” .
I don’t need to doubt her now, but Lillywood-san is an existence with extremely high status…… She’s one of the pinnacle of the Demon Realm, and had a presence that won’t undermine that title .
That’s why I wondered .
It was just a coincidence that I met Kuro and Isis-san, and even though my encounter with Lillywood-san here was unexpected, she seemed to know me already and wanted to meet me, and I didn’t know the reason why .
Hearing my words, Lillywood-san gently smiles and replies .
“There were two reasons why I wanted to meet you…… One was simply because I became interested in you . And the second reason was…… I wanted to meet you once and express my “gratitude” . ”
[Gratitude, is it? For what exactly……]
“All of the Six Kings are close to each other…… But of all of them, I have the most opportunities to talk to Isis, and I can say that Isis is a long-time friend of mine . ”

Indeed, if I remember correctly, when Isis-san came to visit, she mentioned how “Lillywood told her about it”, and the two of them may be like close friends .
Just as Lillywood-san was speaking, her eyes slightly narrowed in sadness before she continued speaking .
“I thought I understood the suffering she was going through…… but I couldn’t do anything about it . Because I’m a being with power comparable to Isis, I was unable to fulfill her wish to “come in contact with the powerless as well, and to meet someone who would accept her even if such being doesn’t have power” . ”
[………………… . . ]
“I was busy with my own affairs, and seeing Isis growing sad and lonely, I always felt frustrated . But then, you appeared at her doorstep . ”
[Me?]
She seemed to care very much about Isis and Lillywood-san seemed to be feeling charigned at her inability to make Isis-san’s pain go away .
“Yes, ever since she met you, Isis has been smiling really happily and every time she visits you, she happily talks about you . Seeing her like that makes me happy . I can’t help but be really happy that she’s able to laugh from the bottom of her heart . ”
[I don’t think I really did that much though……]
“No, since Isis met you, the cold, hard ice that had bound her for so many years disappeared . For that, I owe you a debt of gratitude that is too great to convey in words . Kaito-san, thank you so much . ”

[Ah, no, that’s……]
“I’d really like to thank you . If there’s anything I can do to help, please let me know . ”
Looking at Lillywood-san as she deeply bowed her head to me and expressed her gratitude, I just scratched my head, a little confused .
Now then, what do I do? If she said that she wanted to thank me out of the blue……
It isn’t that I want something in return for being in contact with Isis-san . I like being with Isis-san because she’s a nice person who is kind and fun to be with, and I’m not thinking of anything by doing so .
So it would be right to say no here but…… there was one thing that inevitably stuck in my mind .
[……Lillywood-san . Regarding Isis-san…… I talked to her because she’s an important friend to me and I enjoy being with her . So I honestly don’t want to get rewarded for something like that……]
