Chapter 54: 54

For some reason, it looked very hectic inside the mansion just when I returned a little later than planned due to my meeting with Isis-san .

And when one of the servants led me to Lilia-san’s office, Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san were there, and for some reason, when they saw my face, they made a relieved expression on their faces .

[Welcome back, Kaito-san . I knew there was no chance of that happening since you’re with Kuromueina-sama…… but I’m glad you’re safe . ]

[……Errr, what’s going on?]

Tilting my head as I asked that question at Lilia-san’s relieved tone, a possibility came into my mind .

Ah, they were probably talking about that one incident where wyverns showed up in the royal capital . Though they may look a lot less impressive because Kuro quickly dealt with them, but after thinking about it again, it may be a big deal .

And the fact that I came home later than planned made Lilia-san worried about my safety .

I was about to sit down and apologize for causing her to worry, but the words that came back were different from what I expected .

[Kaito-san, I’ve already told this to Aoi-san and Hina-san earlier, but for a while…… or at least, just tomorrow, please refrain from going out . ]

[……Eh?]

Arehh? Weren’t we talking about the wyvern? Did something else of note happen? No, it might just be that they were being alert if there were still other wyverns flying around in the area .

[……Today, we’ve heard that Death King-sama has been sighted around the royal capital . ]

[……the Death King?]

It seems that she really isn’t talking about the wyverns .

Speaking of the Death King, if I’m not mistaken, the Death King was one of the bad-tempered ones among the Six Kings along with the War King, and was said that they would kill you if you displease them .

I see, I guess I can’t blame them for being so cautious when one of them is nearby……

[Death King-sama is always clad in “magic power of death” and is extremely dangerous . If you are feeble-minded, you will faint at the mere sight of her…… So, please refrain from going out until we acquire some accurate information regarding this matter . ]

[……………… . . ]

Arehh, that’s strange…… I wonder why, but while she was talking about that, Isis-san’s face popped out of my mind for some reason .

I don’t really know what this dangerously-sounding magic power of death is, but if she’s talking about something that would make you pass out just standing before it…… Unnn . I think I encountered a similar situation a while ago .

[……Miyama-sama? Is something the matter?]

[…… . Ah, no……]

Hahaha, no no, there’s no way that’s possible, right?

We’re talking about one of the Six Kings, you know? We were talking about beings that were the pinnacle of the Demon Realm, and beings that one wouldn’t usually see except at the Festival of Heroes, you know? And yet, there’s no way that I had just encountered one like that out of nowhere, right……

Unnn . It must just be imagination and I must have been mistaken . However, let’s check it out a bit, just to be sure .

[Ummm, Lilia-san . That Death King…… Her name isn’t Isis Remnant, right?]

[……Kaito-san . How do you know the name of Death King-sama? You wouldn’t have been able to know her name unless you’ve seen the person herself due to the Information Concealment Magic……]

[…………… . ]

I see, Isis-san really is the Death King huh…… However, she certainly may have been terribly intimidating, but I don’t think she has a bad temper though .

No, she certainly had a rather strong personality, though it was in a different way, but I don’t I don’t think she’s the kind of person who would just kill someone just because she finds him displeasing……

[……My Lady, is it just my imagination? It’s just that I have a very bad feeling about this . ]

[……That’s unexpected, Luna . I actually feel that way too……]

[Ah, no, errr……]

[Kaito-san . Where did you hear that name? You heard it from Kuromueina-sama, right? If it’s Kuromueina-sama, I think she wouldn’t be affected by the Information Concealment Magic, so you must have heard it from Kuromueina-sama!!! I’m begging you, please tell me that’s the case!!!]

[……I’m sorry . I met her just now . ]

I told Lilia-san, who looks like she’s relying on me with a desperate look in her eyes, that I’ve already met the Death King .

Immediately after that, like a puppet that had lost its strings, Lilia-san’s face slammed into the desk .

[My Lady! My Lady, please get ahold of yourself!]

[………………… . ]

Lunamaria-san hurriedly ran up to her, but Lilia-san didn’t even move and kept her face down, and after a while, she stood up and slowly walked towards me .

[Umm, Lilia-san—-Gueehhh……]

Feeling that there’s something strange in the surrounding, I was about to say a word of defense, but Lilia-san grabbed me by my collar before I could even finish speaking .

[What do you mean!!!]

[Wha, Lilia-san…… It hurts……]

[Why! Are you always! Every single time I take my eyes off you! You would always get to know one of the outrageous beings in the world!!!]

Holding my collar, Lilia-san began to shake my body back and forth with tears in her eyes, and my head jerked back and forth with the ridiculous force my body was being swinged .

On top of the pain, I feel like my body is floating up the ground!?

[Are you doing this on purpose!!! You must have been doing this on purpose, right!? How come you would know another one of the Six Kings just after that short period of time!!! Moreover, it had to be Death King-sama this time…… Why did you have to get to know the scariest one!!!]

[No, My Lady…… As expected, there’s no way he’s meeting one of the Six Kings on purpose . ]

[……………… . . ]

Lilia-san isn’t looking like she’s half-crying anymore, she’s completely crying already . I know that I can’t say this since I’m actually the cause of her tears, she must have been really worried……

I’m really sorry…… but I’d like it if you could release me as soon as possible . At this rate, I feel like I would get to mom and dad’s side before I can explain myself .

Also, Lunamaria-san, please stop calmly throwing your tsukkomis there .

Ah, sh*t…… I’m going to lose…… my consciousness again……

[……Anyway, I’m glad that you’re safe even after encountering Death King-sama . ]

[No, My Lady…… I doubt that Miyama-sama is safe a while ago…… though it’s mainly because of My Lady . ]

[……E- Errr…… Kaito-san . I’m really sorry, are you alright?]

[……Yes . Somehow……]

After shaking my body in mid-air for a while, I don’t know if Lilia-san finally regained her composure, she was now repeatedly saying her apologies while making sure I’m alright .

I feel like I’ve been fainting frequently since I’ve come to this world…… though it’s mainly at the hands of Lilia-san……

[However, to get acquainted with Death King-sama after Underworld King-sama, Miyama-sama really rever ceases to amaze me . Well, I don’t really know if you could exactly call your relationship with Death King-sama as something friendly but……]

[That’s right . I’ve heard that Death King-sama is a person that’s hard to please, so I’m just glad that you’ve made it back safely . ]

[……Ah, errr, regarding that……]

It seems that they were really frightened of Isis-san, as Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san don’t seem to think that I’ve become friends with her .

I guess the cause of all of their fears must be that unordinary aura I felt when I first met her, I think they called it the magic power of death? In fact, after I talked with her, she seemed rather kind though……

I guess I shouldn’t tell them about that topic for later huh? That would be no good huh…… I should tell them that I told Isis that she could come visit me anytime she wanted to……

[……She would…… come visit another time . ]

[ [ ……Eh? ] ]

The moment I timidly told them, the two of them stiffened, as if time had completely stopped .

And a little later, Lilia-san asked me with a pale…… . or rather, with a face that looked like it had completely lost its color .

[……She would visit? Death King-sama will? It’s not that you’re actually saying that she’s coming to kill us all, right?]

[Ah, yes . Errr, we’ve become friends, so she asked me if she could come visit me, and so, I told her she could come over whenever she wanted . ]

[……You become friends? With Death King-sama? Ah… Ahaha, you’re just kidding, right? I mean, we’re talking about Death King-sama here…… the most frightening among the Six Kings, you know? She’s the kind of person who would break many people’s minds just by encountering her……]

[No, we’ve really become friends . Ah, she also gave me an unusual flower . ]

When Lilia-san asked me with a dumbfounded and broken smile, I feel a little scared while I explained it to her and took out the blue flower that Isis-san gave me .

[That is a blue crystal flower huh . It seems that an incredibly powerful State Preservation Magic has been casted on it . My Lady, this really is…… . ]

[……Stop, I don’t want to hear it . ]

[Umm, Lilia-san?]

Looking at the blue flower—- the Blue Crystal Flower, Lunamaria-san sounds dumbfounded as she mutters, while Lilia-san just covered her face with her hands when she heard it .

Looking at her grim and sorrowful appearance, Lunamaria-san also looked shaken, as she began to gently pat Lilia-san’s back .

[My Lady…… Please stay strong . ]

[……What the heck’s going on with Kaito-san’s unique friendships…… It now looks like it’s more amazing than mine…… I mean, it’s already at the level where you can crush Albert Duchy with just a word……]

[My Lady, I can understand how you feel . Yes, it’s really just that Miyama-sama had become too abnormal . He could already be described as a monster in some way, and My Lady has done nothing wrong . ]

[……Luna……]

The people I’ve come to know certainly are outrageous, though it’s quite vexing being called as a monster .

However, when I see Lilia-san looking like a crying child in front of me, there’s no way I can complain about their words, and just feel sorry instead .

Leaving Lunamaria-san to comfort Lilia-san for a while, and as if she has found the right moment, she quickly stood up and bowed her head to Lilia-san .

[……By the way, My Lady . I would like to take some time off tomorrow . ]

[……Wait a second there . Why are you trying to escape all by yourself!?]

[P- Please let go of me, My Lady! Meeting Death King-sama isn’t something you could just laugh at! I still have my mother waiting for me to come home alive!]

[I’ll never let you go!!! You want me to go face Death King-sama all by myself!? That’s impossible! I was clearly overwhelmed when it was just Kuromueina-sama who was visiting us, and you’re now telling me to welcome Death King-sama……]

[……I will never forget the days I spent in the service of My Lady . ]

[Why are you assuming that I’m going to die!?]

Seeing the touching scene the two of them have suddenly turned into a grappling match, I once again recognized the magnitude of the situation .

Dear Mom, Dad—– Isis-san is coming to visit another time, but when I told them about Isis-san, it seems like both Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san—– looked scared .
