Symphonia Kingdom Royal Capital, Albert Duchy. In her office, Lilia, who had finished her paperwork, was taking a break after drinking a cup of tea that Lunamaria had brewed for her.
A little while later, Sieglinde, who had some free time, also arrived, and the three best friends naturally began chatting.
[Speaking of which, it seems that Miyama-sama is working hard on various things for his ship party, but Milady, you seem to be quite composed?]
[I don’t have any particular involvement this time after all. Since it’s Kaito-san’s party, it won’t take the form of a noble party, and in the first place, almost everyone there were people Kaito-san knows, so there’s no need for introductions at this point.]
[Indeed, we’ve all been acquainted with all the Six Kings and the Supreme Gods. In that sense, for Lili, it’s a relaxed party full of familiar faces.]Upon hearing Lilia’s response to Lunamaria’s question, Sieglinde nodded in agreement. Of course, Of course, it’s not like she absolutely wouldn’t have anything to do with this situation, and just the fact that the Six Kings and the Supreme Gods will all be present at the party is enough to make her nervous.
However, unlike back at the Founding Festivals, it wasn’t a situation where Kaito wasn’t around and Lilia had to deal with on her own, as Kaito was the host this time.
Naturally, the Six Kings, the Supreme Gods, Shallow Vernal would have their eyes on Kaito, so it’s unlikely that Lilia will have a long conversation with the Six Kings or Supreme Gods.
And since there won’t be any introductions or anything like that with influential figures she’s meeting for the first time, Lilia feels relaxed.
[Well, that’s why I’m just going to enjoy the party this time as one of the participants.]
[……Hmmm. I wonder why? This feeling…… What do you think, Sieg?]
Observing Lilia tip her teacup with a gentle smile, Lunamaria had a somewhat complicated expression on her face and quietly asked the nearby Sieglinde.The reason is that what Lilia said is certainly true, and Lunamaria couldn’t particularly find any room for rebuttal. However, it was also true that there was this feeling in her that rose up in her heart.
The same goes for Sieglinde, who answered Lunamaria’s question with an indescribable expression on her face.
[……How should I say this? It makes sense, and that should be too understandable…… but seeing Lili acting so composed like this, I can’t help but think there might be a big backlash coming.]
[That’s right. I can’t really point it out, but it feels like there might be something that’s about to happen……]
Lunamaria and Sieglinde…… the prediction the two made, perhaps from being close friends for a long time…… it was right on target.
Yes, it’s true that Lilia has already interacted with both the Six Kings and the Supreme Gods, but for her to think that she wouldn’t have to greet anyone new…… was a naive thought.
The participants currently in Lilia’s mind are those who attended when Kaito held a housewarming party…… but Lilia had forgotten one important thing.
During the period between the housewarming party and now, Kaito…… “got to know all the Six Kings Executives”…… and Lilia’s name is famous even in the Demon Realm, with many Six Kings Executives who are interested in Lilia.
However, Lilia has a deep relationship with Kaito, and her house is next to Kaito’s…… Thus, there are several of them who are acting prudently, not wanting to trouble not only Lilia but Kaito.
Such people will try to use this opportunity to interact with Lilia. Since the Six Kings and the Supreme Gods would likely gather around Kaito, they would find it inappropriate to disturb them…… and so, the person their attention would gather to…… In a sense, Lilia may have been fortunate that she currently doesn’t realize this.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Eh? No, Lilia should also be acquainted with most of the Six Kings Executives, so it shouldn’t be that big of a deal……]
? ? ? : [This would also be the first time she’s meeting my camp’s perverts though.]
Serious-senpai : [……I see. Lilia, it’s over for you then.]
