Chapter 459: 459

Noir-san is very strong, probably because she’s a half-vampire . Because of this, Luna-san had a hard time pulling Noir-san away from me .

But then, Lilia-san finally woke up…… and easily pulled Noir-san away from me . Should I say that it’s to be expected from Lilia-san, or should I be astonished at her power that overwhelms even half-vampires……?

After being ripped away from me, Noir-san blankly stared at nowhere for a while before she fell asleep .

And then, as for greeting the Head Chef…… Relying upon Lilia-san’s follow-up, I had somehow weathered through it . Good gracious, I’m really grateful that Lilia-san was here to help me .

[……Speaking of which, My Lady? Why is it that you fainted earlier?]

[Ehh!? Ah, t- that is……]

The inn that Lilia-san and the others were staying at is located on the way to the Central Tower from the restaurant, so all of us slowly walked towards their inn .

Carrying the sleeping Noir-san behind her back, Luna-san asked, to which Lilia-san clearly became flustered .

[N- No, it’s just that…… I was a bit exposed to the night wind so……]

[No, no, My Lady’s body isn’t that frail…… No, well, I guess that’s fine……]

Although she looked suspicious at Lilia-san’s lies, Luna-san didn’t pursue the matter any further, perhaps because she owed Lilia-san for stopping Noir-san .

That should be enough to calm Lilia-san down……

” ”

[Ahh, Lilia-chan, good evening~~]

[K- K- K- Kuromueina-sama!? G- G- G- Good evening . ]

Before she had time to recover though, she began to panic again when Kuro appeared .

Rei-san and Fia-san also hurriedly got down on one knee and tried to bow down, but Kuro stopped them .

[It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, Aoi-chan and Hina-chan . Are you enjoying the festival?]

[Yes, I’m having a great time . ]

[I feel like I’ve shopped a bit too much today . ]

[Ahaha, I see, that’s good then . ]

Aoi-chan and Hina-chan, who Kuro had already talked to back in the mansion, smiled when Kuro called out to them . Unnn, I think Lilia-san is just too nervous, but well, I guess that’s just like her……

Hearing what the two said, Kuro nodded with a smile and taking cloth bags out of nowhere, she handed them to my two kouhais .

[Well then, here . I’ll give you some pocket money, so you can have lots of fun tomorrow . ]

[……Eh?]

[Kuromu-sama? C- Can we really have this?]

[Of course . This is a different world after all, so enjoy it to the fullest . ]

[ [ T- Thank you very much! ] ]

When Kuro told them this with a smile, my two kouhais deeply bowed .

Kuro then turned to Lilia-san and with a slightly apologetic expression on her face, she spoke .

[Well then, Lilia-san . I’m sorry, I have some business with Kaito-kun, so do you mind if I take him with me?]

[Eh? Ah, yes . Of course, it’s fine . We’ve just finished eating anyway……]

[I’m sorry . I’ll send some delicious sweets to Lilia-chan and the others in your inn later, so enjoy them with everyone . ]

[Thank you for your concern . ]

When Kuro talked about sending them delicious sweets…… I feel like she wouldn’t send anything other than baby castellas .

[Well then, Kaito-kun . Let’s go?]

[Eh? Yeah…… Good night, everyone . ]

Even though I had no idea what this business Kuro had with me, but at her urging, I said good night to everyone and left .

Following Kuro’s lead, we reached a plaza where I couldn’t see a single person . Stopping there, Kuro looked back at me and spoke .

[Kaito-kun, I’m sorry about suddenly calling you here . ]

[No, that’s fine with me but…… what is this business that you talked about?]

[Unnn, it’s about that person you met this morning, the one that looked like your mother . ]

[Eh?]

[I’ve heard about it from Isis, and I thought I’d talk to you about this as soon as possible…… I have to go to Magnawell for a meeting later, so I thought I’d talk to you a little bit before I go . ]

It’s true that I was going to talk to Kuro to consult her about that woman who looked like my mother, following Isis-san’s advice .

Apparently, Kuro had come to find me so that we could talk about this before she leaves for a moment .

[First of all, let me say what I concluded . I’ve heard the story from Isis and asked Shiro about it but…… Shiro didn’t bring Kaito-kun’s mother back to life, nor did she create a being with the same appearance as her . ]

[…………………]

[When Shiro lies, she would say she’s lying, so there’s no doubt that she’s saying the truth . I checked with the Earth God just to be sure, and she said that she didn’t bring her back to life either . ]

[Then, she really is……]

[Unnn . She’s just another person who happened to have the appearance of your mother . ]

[……I see . ]

If that’s what Kuro said, that must really be the case . No, I knew that there was a good chance that that really was the case . But hearing about it now, I couldn’t hide my disappointment .

[……Kaito-kun, are you alright?]

[Unnn . I was a bit confused at first, but I’m completely fine now . I was able to take it in . ]

[……I see . I’m going to go to a meeting then . Let’s talk again later . ]

[Yeah, thanks . ]

Thanking Kuro for just gently smiling at me without asking too much, I watched her go .

When Kuro was completely out of sight, I tried to walk back to the Central Tower but…… my feet immediately stopped .

[Yaa~ It’s this morning since we last met, right~~ It’s a great coincidence to see you here, isn’t it?]

[ ! ? ]

I was so astonished hearing that voice that I thought my heart would leap out of my chest .

[……Mom……?]

Dear Mom, Dad————- It was concluded that the woman I saw at lunch who looked just like my mother was just another person . Kuro shouldn’t have been mistaken by her judgment and I myself was convinced that it was the case but…… why? Not only the appearance, but even the voice———— Why is it that you resemble her that much?
