Having asked Rosemary-san, I was able to successfully obtain a rose-designed accessory case, so I would have liked to give it to Illness-san right away…… but it feels a bit bland to just give it to her as is right after returning. That said, there isn’t any particularly suitable situation that would allow me to conveniently hand it over to her, so let’s just not overthink it and give it to her straightforwardly.
After contemplating such things in my room, just as I thought of looking for Illness-san, there was a knock on the door. Coincidentally, it seems like Illness-san had come by.
[Excuse my intrusioooooon. Kaito-samaaaa, may I have a moment of your tiiiiiiime?]
[Yes, it’s alright. Did something happen?]
[Noooo, it’s not that something happeeeeened, I just want to invite Kaito-sama for somethiiiiiing.][Invite me?]
As I tilted my head at Illness-san’s choice of words, she continued with a gentle smile.
[Actuallyyyyy, just like Kaito-sama, I also made my original tea bleeeeend. And so, if it’s alright with Kaito-samaaaa, would you like to have tea with meeeee?]
[Illness-san did? Yes, of course, I’ll be happy to drink with you. I’m looking forward to the original tea blend Illness-san made, and I’m also happy that I get to leisurely chat with Illness-san.]
[Kuhihi, hearing Kaito-sama say that makes me veeeeeeery happy. Well theeeen, it’s already dinner time, so how about tomorrow around nooooooon?]
[Yes, that’s fine. I’m looking forward to it.]
As I saw off Illness-san as she left the room with a slight bow, excitement welled up in my heart.Not only is this a good opportunity for me to simply give her the accessory case, but I can also look forward to enjoying tea time with Illness-san.
Back then, Illness-san has prepared tea and sweets for me, and I’ve encouraged her to eat with me, but this may be the first time that Illness-san has invited me to tea, so I’m simply happy.
I’m sure an original blend Illness-san made will be delicious, so I’m looking forward to tomorrow.
Having such thoughts in mind, I left the room and went to my garden, to where Nebula’s World Tree is. The sun is just about to set, but it’s not too dark because of the light from my home.
As soon as I arrived in front of the World Tree, Nebula came out.
[Milord, you wanted to see me?]
[Unnn. I’ve been helped a lot by Nebula with this tea brand and the original tea blend…… so I’ve brought this as a thank you, but would this be alright?]
[Thank you very much! Milord’s consideration makes me very happy…… Are these flower seeds?]
[Yes, that’s right. You see, Nebula mentioned before that you wanted to add more color to your flower beds, so I got some seeds for flowers that we don’t have in our flower beds at the moment.]
It’s not just Illness-san who has been assisting me all this time, as there’s also Nebula who has been helping me out a lot, so I prepared a thank-you gift for Nebula as well. However, it’s actually quite difficult to find a way to thank Nebula.
First of all, Nebula is a very kind and capable girl, so whatever I gave her, she would happily receive it. She’s the type of person who would be more pleased with my intentions to prepare her the gift rather than my gift itself.
That’s precisely why it’s challenging to decide what to give her, knowing that she would appreciate anything. This time, by chance, I had heard about her wanting to increase the variety of flowers in the flower bed. And so, considering I’m visiting Rosemary-san’s Garden of Myriad Flowers, where numerous flowers bloom, I decided to give her flower seeds.
I also borrowed some wisdom from Rosemary-san, who had seen our flower bed, and she prepared several uncommon flower seeds that would suit the atmosphere of my garden.
[Yes, I was just thinking of adding a few more types of flowers to the flower bed, so this makes me really happy! I’ll start growing them tomorrow. Please come and see them when they bloom, Milord.]
[Unnn. I’ll do that…… With Nebula raising them, they will definitely bloom beautifully, so I’m looking forward to it.]
[You can leave these to me! I’m Absolute after all!]
[Fufufu, I see.]
Smiling at Nebula, who had confidently exclaimed her catchphrase, I reached out and lightly patted her head.

Serious-senpai : [I have a bad feeling about this. The fact that it seemed like things are being intentionally passed over to the next story, I feel like the subtitle would be changed and would be started over from ①……]
