Nigotta Hitomi no Lilianne - Chapter 158

Chapter 158

Just when I thought the send-off party for the Knights of the White Crystals finished and I was about to return to the Reki-kun room as usual, but I was dressed up in a costume for the send-off party .




I couldn’t naturally go to the Reki-kun room like that .
No, it’s not like I can’t really go like that, but it would be difficult to play with Reki-kun while dressed up .
The practice of my siblings has already finished, so a change of clothes was prepared in a hall near where the send-off party took place .
When I was about to welcome the change of clothes time with Ena and my personal maid――Jenny as usual, there was a knock on the door and Obaasama was called over .
Of course, I was in the middle of changing, so Obaasama didn’t let them inside and was talking at the door .
It seemed that Obaasama’s presence was requested so had to leave .

I lightly waved my hand to send off Obaasama while being dressed, and the changing of clothes was done .
Because I got changed into an easy-to-move-in modest dress, it is far easier to move in than a dress which weight was reduced by a magic tool .
Even though I might be from the great nobility of Christophe House, there’s no way a three-year-old child could wear such dress all the time .

I wear this kind of stuff only during some events at most .
I also occasionally wear what Ena dresses me in, what Ellie brings to dress me in, the several clothes Claire brings with her every time, and the many clothes Obaasama prepares…… I wear a lot of clothes .

When I left the room I changed my clothes in, Obaasama and Ojiisama were talking about something with serious faces .
When I thought I might be a nuisance and tried to leave for the Reki-kun room, I was called by the two .

「Lilianne, might I have a bit of your time?」

「Lily-chan, may we talk for a bit?」

「Ai~」

Said Ojiisama with a slightly stiff expression and Obaasama with her usual expression .
But, I didn’t overlook that the flow of his magical power was just slightly stiff too . Just what do they want to talk about, I wonder?

「What ish it~?」

「U, mu……」

「This is not a good place, shall we talk over there? Jenny, prepare tea」

「Certainly, Great Madam」

Following up the inarticulate Ojiisama, Obaasama didn’t want to talk while standing so she proposed of using a nearby room .
It appears that it isn’t a talk that will end soon .

By the way, the Christophe House’s mansion has many rooms, but there are also many lounges and parlors where people can have discussions .
Of course, they are cleaned perfectly every day so they can be used at any time .

Entering the lounge, I took a seat on my usual place, Obaasama’s lap, across Ojiisama . Ena naturally sat next to Obaasama, rather next to me .
As we sat down, Jenny served tea before everyone .
Her movements that didn’t let out a single noise deserve a word of admiration .
By the way, she used a cup whose magical power can be seen and served me a fruit water――I smell a fragrance of peach-like fruit .

The peach water was chilly, but not too cold . Having said that, it’s a perfect temperature for me as long as it’s not lukewarm .
This cup uses a magic tool that retains warmth, so the temperature won’t change even after leaving it as it is for a while .

Lightly drinking the tea, Ojiisama who calmed down spoke up .
Up until then, Obaasama didn’t show any gloominess .

「I will ask frankly . Lilianne, what have you done to the members of the Knights Order?」

「Hae?」

「Dear」

「Ugh…… so, sorry, Lilianne . It’s not like that . I’m not blaming you or anything! It’s the truth, okay!? But, with that encouragement of yours, the Magic Eyes of everyone have suddenly grown… immediately after receiving your words」

Crap . I have done it again .
I certainly didn’t think that the blank spaces would optimize this quickly .
Even though it should have taken the effect after some time so it didn’t look like I did something .

Come to think of it, they were really tense during the optimization……
I thought they might be nervous simply because I approached them, but did they perhaps already feel the changes happening to their Magic Eyes at that time?
If that was the case, then I have overdone it quite a lot .
Sani sensei and Kuti didn’t say anything so I thought it would be fine, but the result was more than I expected .

But, acknowledging here that I have done something would not be good .
Why don’t I cutely feign ignorance like a three-year-old would?

「Nu~?」

I, who have tilted my head to the side knows nothing . Still, this fruit water is really delicious . I replied as if expressing that .

The magical power of Ojiisama who saw that got even more nervous, but it immediately returned back to normal .
As I thought, he can’t win against the cute gestures of his grandchild .
His face is already deredere .

「I see, I see . It can’t be helped if you don’t know~」

「Lily-chan . As Ji~jii said, it’s not like we are angry, okay? Ba~baa will be Lily-chan’s ally no matter what happens, so it’s fine to talk with me at all times, okay?」

Obaasama who turned me towards herself on her lap said while smiling .
But, even here, my reply was the same .




I trust Obaasama, but this is this and that is that . They are different problems .

I, who tilted my head again doesn’t know anything . Rather than that, I would like to comb Reki-kun’s tail . Obaasama who guessed my response ended the discussion right there .
Ojiisama wanted to ask more, but his face was already deredere so it would be impossible for him .

I have decided to play dumb, so they won’t get anything from me .
I will dodge everything by acting cute!

Is what I thought, but my grandparents didn’t pursue the matter any further, so it seems they weren’t that convinced .
Since the growth of the four’s Magic Eyes wasn’t natural, they might have asked just in case since it happened during my encouragement .

Right, the growth of Magic Eyes isn’t natural .
The reason Magic Eye itself is a precious ability is most likely because there are too few samples .
In the case of both inborn and a posteriori Magic Eyes, it takes time until the body gets used to it and its powers can be exhibited flawlessly .
But, while you may be able to use Magic Eyes flawlessly, it’s not like they can grow .
You are merely getting used to them .

The growth of Magic Eyes refers to the case where the burden is greatly reduced like this time or when you obtain a new derived ability .
Of course, it takes time until you get accustomed to the derived ability .
However, taking hold of the Magic Eyes fundamentally takes time .
Normally, you wouldn’t be able to notice the reduction of the burden this quickly, but they did notice it immediately .

They might not have noticed a little change, but I have ended up making a plenty of changes, so they must have noticed .
It might not have been a matter of curiosity .
Well, I might have been too careless this time because I thought there was no danger involved . I will pay attention the next time .

【Kuti, I would like you to let me know next time, when I am about to get exposed to the surroundings like today~】

「Ah~ yeah…… well~ I was certain that Lily’s perfect plan would proceed smoothly or something~」

「We were wrong after all? Well, I had vaguely thought that this might be the case . Rather, even though I know you did something to the Magic Eyes, I have never heard of something like that . Just how did you do it?」

【Ermm~】

It appears that Sensei has noticed, but she didn’t understand what I was doing .
Kuti was trusting in me too much and it backfired on her instead . This is quite a serious problem .

On the way to the Reki-kun room, we split off with Ojiisama who went to his office, and I explained Sani sensei about the Magic Eyes while in Obaasama’s arms .

However, as I thought, there was nothing like today’s happenings in Sani sensei’s abyss deep knowledge .
But, she had a guess .
Wasn’t I enabled to do this because of my Magic Eyes that can see the formulas directly, the disposition of the special Variation Type Two, and the knowledge about sorcery I possess? Sani sensei conjectured .

Indeed, those conditions seem to be the necessary factor .

But, Sani sensei’s conjecture didn’t end there .
Although it might be a very low probability, she presented the idea that my Magic Eyes might be Magic Eyes that can manipulate other Magic Eyes .

It’s just it would be difficult to confirm that theory with so few samples .
I already know that I can’t do that to my own Magic Eyes .
If I could do that, I would not be able only to alter the sight of magical power but the physical sense of sight too .

There are only the Knights of the White Crystals that could act as samples .
No, as the possessors of Magic Eyes are rare, it’s a good fortune that they are close to me .

I know that it is not dangerous, so I was discussing meeting them for an experiment before long with Sani sensei .

With a mad scientist smile similar to Sani sensei’s floating in my mind, we approached the Reki-kun room .
