After finishing giving Shiro-san’s accessory to her, I wondered who I should give to next time, but I guess it wouldn’t be any trouble if I handed it over based on who is the most nearby.First, I checked to see if Anima was home, but it seemed that she went outside, so I couldn’t give it to her right away.In that case, the next closest would be Lilia-san and Sieg-san. No, it’s true that Alice would technically be the closest, but since she asked me to give hers later, I decided to consider her miscellaneous goods store as her location.And so, I went to visit Lilia-san first…… but for some reason, Lilia-san looked very tired.[……Arehh? Lilia-san? You look kind of tired……]That’s strange? Lilia-san hasn’t been busy with work lately, and last I heard, she should have been talking a little while ago that she was relatively free and could relax for a while. It was like, the expression on her face is also questioning where that cheerful face at that time disappeared to.[……Ahh, Kaito-san. No, ummm, it was hurriedly decided that I would participate in Archlesia Empire’s Founding Festival, so I was a little tired after confirming and completing various procedures.][Eh? Arehh? Lilia-san, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t be participating in Archlesia Empire?] Follow current on novelenglish.net
[That was the plan but……]Of course, I have told Lilia-san in detail that I will be opening a stall with Amel-san at Archlesia Empire’s Founding Festival. If she finds out about this later, she will definitely get angry, so I intend to thoroughly inform her in advance.I remember that Lilia-san also told me that she had no particular plans to participate in Archlesia Empire’s Founding Festival, and she even kindly told me “Please enjoy yourself”.I asked her why her plans had suddenly changed, and to my surprise…… She told me that Eden-san had come and asked her to visit my stall in her stead.According to Lilia-san, she wasn’t forced to do this by Eden-san, it was just a request, but even if that’s so, I don’t think Lilia-san could refuse Eden-san. Seriously, even though she isn’t someone I could have told her about, but even without considering that, she sure attracts trouble like a black hole……[……However, that’s surprising. I honestly thought Eden-san would come to my stall herself.][Yes, I was a little skeptical, but it seems that she had a contract with Shallow Vernal-sama, so she couldn’t go there directly.][I see……]Certainly, if someone is able to control Eden-san, it would be someone like Shiro-san…… I also felt like she was reprimanding Eden-san during my housewarming party, so she may have stopped Eden-san from going on a rampage without my knowledge.

[……I see, if Eden-san isn’t going to directly come, I think it would be better if I give this to Lilia-san.][Unnn? What is it?][Well, I actually expected Eden-san to come to our stall. And so, while Amel-san and I were making original accessories for the stall, I thought that Eden-san would definitely want it, so I made a separate one for her.]Yes, I was wary of Eden-san’s visit right from the start. Considering who the most dangerous person in terms of damage to Chris-san would be, no matter how I thought about it, it would be Eden-san. And if I were to make original accessories, I was sure that there was no way Eden-san would not want it, so I made an accessory for her.Alice recommended a necklace in the shape of a gear, so I prepared a necklace in that shape, planning to give it to Eden-san when she comes to my stall. However, since she had asked Lilia-san to go to my stall in her stead, it would be best to have her hand it over along with other products.That way, Eden-san’s impression of Lilia-san would improve and she might be less likely to drag Lilia-san around her absurdities in the future.Also, the purpose of having Lilia-san give it to her instead of me is to prevent Eden-san from going on a rampage.[And so, please give this to her.][Thank you. Indeed, with this, Eden-san will certainly be pleased, and it will be easier for me to give her the item.] Follow current on storynovel.net
[Also…… This is for Lilia-san……][Eh? For me?][Yes. I made it with Lilia-san’s image in mind. I tried making you a brooch, but I apologize for it being amateurish. If it’s alright with you, please accept my gift.][Kaito-san……]The brooch I made for Lilia-san is one made with a rare gemstone called Imperial Twin Topaz, which has two colors of blue and yellow at the same time…… as if there’s a blue sea trapped inside a yellow gemstone.I made it with the image of a dragon-like feather, and I think I was able to do it relatively well thanks to Alice’s guidance. However, it isn’t of a quality that would allow one to wear it to a social occasion, so I think it would be used more in a casual setting……[……Thank you. This makes me happy. Also, if Kaito-san is alright with it, would you like to go to a ball together with me next time? If possible, I would like to wear this brooch when I’m with Kaito-san……][Eh? Yes, if you’re alright with me, I’ll go with you anytime.][Fufu, I’m looking forward to it. Seriously, blowing away the tiredness I had just before as if it was a lie…… Somehow, I suddenly found myself feeling really happy.]Lilia-san’s expression as she said that with a smile wasn’t like the tired one she had before, giving me the impression that she was really happy. I also want to fulfill Lilia-san’s request as much as possible, so I’ll practice dancing so that I’ll be ready whenever she invites me again.Makina : [M- My chiiiiiiiild! I- I believed in you!!! Mother really believed in you…… Ah, my beloved child really is a cute and good child. I’m a bit dissatisfied that he can’t give it to me directly, but acting all reserved and handing it to Lilia also shows his cuteness, and that’s fine too!!!]
