Chapter 339 - Evil Has Been Vanquished
After staying at Alice’s home for a few days, on the 13th day of the Light month, I came back to Lilia-san’s mansion.
I feel like it’s been a long time since I left, but somehow…… I really feel like I’m home.
While enjoying the feeling of relief, in the front door of the mansion…… for some reason, the door was vigorously opened.
[Arehh? Lunamaria-san?][I- If it isn’t Miyama-sama!? W- Welcome home…… Y- You’re just in time!]
[……Ehh?]
[P- Please help me!]
Lunamaria-san, who has jumped out of the house, seems to be in a tremendous panic, and with a sad expression on her face, she tells me to help her, hurriedly hiding behind my back.
As I’m puzzled as to what in the world has happened, an angry voice immediately resounds afterwards, shaking the entire house.
[Lunaaaaa!!!]
[Hyiiihhh!?][Wha!?]
The air seems to tremble with the tremendous power of Lilia-san’s loud voice, and even I, who wasn’t called by name, was frightened out of my wits.
And then, Lilia appeared from the door of the mansion, looking like a demon spawn who climbed out of the pits of hell, clad in an aura that clearly shows how angry she is.
W- What in the world did you do, Lunamaria-san!? Lilia-san became a shura, you know…… S- She’s too scary.
[How many times have I told you not to go into “that room”…… No, to begin with, it will be better if it’s just entering that room…… but how dare you do that!]
[P- Please calm down, M- My Lady…… I- It’s just an accident! It was just an accident!!!]
What? That room? Putting aside if she just went in? Seriously, what did you do? What in the world did you do for that kind Lilia-san to become this enraged?
[How dare you! How dare you break my “Tempest Dragon Model”!!!]
[M- My apologies!? I didn’t do it on purpose!!!]
[……Ehh?]
Eh? What? What did she just say? Dragon…… model?
[Today isn’t the day I will…… forgive…… you?]
[……E- Errr……]
Lilia-san was angrily approaching us, but when she noticed my presence while she was speaking, she stiffened.
A very awkward silence passed between me and Lilia-san, before a great amount of sweat began running down her face.
[……K- Kaito-san? S- Since when have you returned?]
[E- Errrr…… Just now. So, ummm, what’s this dragon model……]
[Ahh, n- no, w- what are you talking about? D- Dragon model? I- I don’t have any idea what you’re talking about though!?]
[………………..]
……Lilia-san, you’re really bad at deceiving others. Your gaze is swimming around really fast…… So, she’s someone who can’t use lies huh……
E- Even so, I knew that Lilia-san liked dragons, but I didn’t expect that she would have models as well…… However, I’ve been living in the mansion for nearly half a year, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like that before.
[……It was My Lady’s hobby.]
[Luna!?]
[Eh? Lilia-san said she didn’t have any hobbies……]
[Yes, she was trying to hide it……]
[S- Stop right there, Luna. What are you trying to say……]
When Lunamaria answers my question, Lilia-san starts to get visibly shaken.
[……There was a “hidden room” in My Lady’s office…… In that room, she secretly collects dragon models and scales.]
[……Luna. This is an order. Shut your mouth at once…… or I will make it that you don’t speak ever again.]
[Hyiiihhh!?]
She would do what? No, let’s not pry too deeply into this…… I think it will be something frightening.
[I- I didn’t know Lilia-san had such a hobby……]
[Eh? Ah, t- that’s not it, Kaito-san!? I- It was just…… a small collection……]
[……By the way, as of yesterday, her collection had “300 items” in it.]
[……Luna, seriously, shut your mouth. If you say anything more than that, I will crush you until you are half your size.]
[……R- Roger that! I won’t speak anymore!]
Seeing Lilia-san telling her in an outrageously deep voice, Lunamaria-san completely hid behind my back in silence.
As expected, even Lunamaria-san can’t seem to go against the current Lilia-san.
H- However, if I let the situation stay like this, it will be a little uncomfortable…… Is there some kind of follow-up I could make……
[I- Isn’t it fine? Having a hobby like that means you can afford it……]
[I- Is that how it is? Ummm…… A- Are you not disillusioned?]
[Eh? Why would I be?]
[No, ummm, i- it isn’t a ladylike hobby after all……]
Ahh, I see, she was hiding it because it wasn’t feminine huh…… I don’t think it’s anything she needs to be concerned about though.
Seeing Lilia-san glancing at me with her cheeks blushing red, my shoulders relaxed and with a smile on my face, I spoke.
[That isn’t the case at all. Each person has different hobbies, so there’s nothing you should be embarrassed about. Moreover, I think dragons are cool too, you know?]
[I- Is that so…… I- If Kaito-san says so…… Then I can be relieved.]
Lilia-san is so cute. Her gesture of caressing her chest is just so adorable. Seriously, she really doesn’t look like she’s older than me, though I’m saying that in a good way, but I think the gap between the appearance of her usually steady self and when she’s like this is very attractive.
Thereupon, I suddenly remembered the dragon model I got from a random box. According to Alice’s information, it’s something that Lilia-san wanted, so I think this would be the right moment to give it to her……
[S- Speaking of which, Lilia-san. I got something like this before……]
[……Eh? Wha!? T- This is, could it be…… the random box initial lots-limited Ancient Ground Dragon!? W- Where did you get this!? Please tell me where you get this! Please!!!]
She somehow bit onto it far more quickly than I expected!?
[P- Please calm down…… I just happened to get it from Alice’s store…… If you want it, I’ll give it to you.]
[Eh? Eeeeehhh!? I- Is that alright? R- Really? I- I mean, this is something you can only acquire on early lots, and is so valuable because it’s no longer available……]
[Yes, there’s no point in me keeping it anyway…… Let’s just say it’s my present for my precious girlfriend.]
[……K- Kaito-san……]
Saying that with a smile, tears appeared in Lilia-san’s eyes, as if she was really moved, and received the model with trembling hands…… Aren’t you a bit too overreacting!?
Then, she carefully hugged the model she received in front of her chest and gave me a happy smile.
While admiring her adorable appearance, seeing Lilia-san happy makes me happy as well.
Just then, I heard a small voice mutter behind me.
[A- As expected of Miyama-sama…… To easily pacify My Lady who was that angry…… This Lunamaria gives you my admiration.]
……It’s not like I’m doing this for you, you useless maid.
H- Hmmm. I’m glad that Lilia-san is happy now but…… I can’t consent that Lunamaria-san, who broke into her hidden room and destroyed Lilia-san’s precious model, even though she said it was an accident, should be acquitted of all charges.
Unnn, well, Lilia-san is my girlfriend……. So if I’m going to prioritize someone, it would be her.
While thinking about this, I moved my gaze…… and breathing in, l shouted.
[Bell~~! It seems like Lunamaria-san wants to play with you! You can play with her as much as you want!!!]
[……Ehh? Eh? M- Miyama-sama!? W- What are you……]
[Garuaaaaa!]
[Eyaaahhh!? W- Wait…… E- Even though you usually don’t want me to hug you, you’re running at full speed at me now…… Ahh, I see, it’s because Miyama-sama instructed you huh…… Ahh, ahhhh……. Migyaaaahhhh!?]
As soon as I gave the instruction, I quickly moved away from Lunamaria-san.
When she saw Bell coming towards her at an intense speed, Lunamaria-san, who hasn’t been able to keep up with the situation, turned pale and ran away.
[Bell…… Keep going like that and chase her for about two hours~~]
[Gau!]
[M- Miyama-sama!? T- That’s cruel of you…… P- Please have mercy…… wait, uwoaaahhh, he’s faaaaaaast!?]
Lunamaria-san frantically ran away from Bell, but I had instructed Bell to play with her. Bell is a smart child, so he knows when to hold back.
That means, Lunamaria-san will barely be able to run away from Bell, while Bell chases her with moderately fast speed.
Lunamaria-san tried sending an SOS distress signal towards us, but since she completely deserved it, we ignored her and went into the mansion with Lilia-san, who still looked happy with her dragon model.
Dear Mom, Dad———– When I came back to the mansion after a long time passed, I immediately encountered a troublesome person. I have encountered Lunamaria-san, who was bringing along her usual mischief, but I think I was able to handle her well. Unnn, in short———— Evil has been vanquished.
