Chapter 30 An Outrageous Being (2/2)
[……Kuro, why are you using Information Concealment Magic?]
[Unnn? My hobby is eating out and since I was quite famous in the Human Realm, so I’m using it so that I won’t make a scene.]
[……Why is that you would always slip through the Detection Barrier to enter this residence?]
[Eh? It’s not that I didn’t think of just giving my name to normally enter, but writing a letter just to visit a Duchy is troublesome……]
[……Then, why is it that you sent that invitation for the barbecue under a different name?]
[Sending it under the name of a child who lives in the Human Realm makes the conversation smoother, right?]
[………..]
Umu, what she means is that. To sum it up…… She’s a bit famous in the Human Realm and she feels that making a scene is troublesome, so she uses Information Concealment Magic all the time. But it’s not like she’s really trying to hide her identity, and it’s perfectly fine for her to hand out these books to other kids and tell Lilia-san about it……

Then what was my concern and determination to consult her for!?
[Ahh~ Errr, Kaito-kun? If you want, do you want me to visit under my name and explain it to them?]
[……Unn. If you do that, it would be a great help. I mean, I wish you had done it from the beginning though……]
[Ah, Ahaha, sorry sorry. I wasn’t really interested in anyone here other than Kaito-kun, and I’ve also been thinking about it…… But decided on waiting for when you ask me about it~]
In the end, my shoulders dropped from getting worked up for nothing. After wrily smiling and apologizing to me, Kuro takes out a small message card from her coat, writes something on it, puts it in an envelope, and hands it over to me.
[Well then, I have a few things I need to get done tomorrow…… So I’ll come the day after tomorrow, so can give this letter to the homeowner?]
[Yeah, roger that.]
I received the envelope from Kuro, which apparently contains a letter requesting a quick visit.
How should I say this, I feel kind of tired, but in any case, I can now tell Lilia-san about Kuro.
I felt awkward hiding things from Lilia-san, who is actually a great help to me, and if I knew she would easily agree to it, I should have brought up this conversation earlier.

After the night passed, I quickly explained the situation to Lilia-san while we’re having breakfast.
I’m not sure how much of an effect the Information Concealment Magic has, but at the very least, it seems like she got the message that I’ve been meeting with a demon every night so far, and that the demon has told me that they want to officially come visit, to which, Lilia-san nodded as if she was somewhat convinced.
[I see, it’s true that a high-ranking demon would be able to slip through the Detection Barriers, so it’s not surprising that they have a connection with the Seditch Magic Tool Company.]
[It’s a company with a parent organization that came from the Demon Realm after all. Rather, the fact that you have become so close to a high-ranking demon that doesn’t normally have much contact with humans… I guess you could say that it’s to be expected from Miyama-sama.]
Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san’s reactions weren’t as bad as I expected, and in fact, it was good that they reacted favorably.
It seems that from the beginning, the two of them seemed to be aware of the possibility that the demon I encountered when I got lost was a high-ranking demon, and they didn’t want to get into a situation where they’re met with hostility.
And after listening to what I said, Lilia-san was relieved to find out that Kuro favors me and that she has the intention of antagonizing her and the others.
That also shows how outrageous the power of a high-ranking demon must be.
[However, with that high-ranking demon adding to the list, this shows how amazing Kaito-san’s ability to have connections with others can be. If it’s someone who often visits the Human Realm, I may have probably spoken to them before.]
[Yeah, she said that she was quite famous.]

[Fufufu, that kind of makes me nervous. Well, since there’s already that one incident with the Goddess of Time, I doubt that there’s anything that would……]
Rather than saying that she’s calm about the situation, I think it would be better to say that Lilia-san received the envelope from me with a somewhat resigned smile on her face. She then opened the envelope as she talked about the big event that is coming up for her with a distant look on her face, as if she’s escaping from reality, taking out the folded message card from inside the envelope, she opened it up—– and quickly closed it.
[…………..]
[My Lady?]
[……I must have seen it wrong…… Just now…… I must have…… I must have seen it wrong……]
[My Lady…… What exactly is happening……]
After closing the message card once again just after she opened it, Lilia-san started mumbling something, and both Lunamaria-san and us just tilted our heads, not understanding why.
Then, after taking a deep breath, Lilia-san opened the message card again—– and immediately afterwards, she struck the desk with her face.
[My Lady!?]
Lunamaria-san quickly rushed over to her, but Lilia-san didn’t react as she laid down on the desk, and after a few moments, she looked up while holding her head in her hands, but for some reason, her face was very blue.]

[……No more…… Kaito-kun’s friendly connections…… It’s scary……]
[Errr? My Lady? What exactly happened?]
After looking at me with trembling eyes filled with fear, she held out the folded message card with her trembling hand in front of Lunamaria-san, who has a worried look on her face.
[Alright, Luna. Please take a deep breath…… After you keep a strong grip on your heart, then open it.]

[H- Hahh…… I respectfully obey.]
Seeing Lilia-san who was pale and shivering on her seat which was quite unusual, with a dubious expression on her face, Lunamaria-san took a deep breath just as she was told and with a serious expression on her face, she opened the message card—– and a few seconds later, she collapsed on her knees.
[Luna!? Luna! Please get a hold of yourself!]
[…………..]
Lilia-san hurriedly calls out to her, but Lunamaria-san just looked stiff and dumbfounded with her eyes wide opened.
Seeing Lunamaria-san looking as if she fainted while kneeling there, Lilia-san senses that there wouldn’t be any response from Lunamaria-san and gave some instructions to another servant.

A few moments later, a flurry of servants arrived in the dining room, one after another in a hurry…… And if I’m not mistaken, the people who were supposed to be in charge of various departments gathered, and in front of me, who haven’t been able to keep up with the situation, the pale Lilia-san opened her mouth.
[Tell all hands at once! Tomorrow at noon, we’ll be receiving a very important guest!! Any kind of disrespect in her presence isn’t allowed!! Prepare our best possible hospitality. Also, “immediately send a fast horse” to convey my message! Overlook the cost of ingredients…… No, tell the King that to “send the royal palace’s ingredients, along with the chefs”!]
[Huh? M- My Lady…… What’s happening……]
I can understand why they’re like that just from hearing all these preposterous instructions she’s telling them. I mean, the servants also seem like they’re confused as if they don’t understand the situation.
And when one of the servants timidly asks, Lilia-san stops moving…… and with tears in her eyes, she spoke.
[……coming…… tomorrow……]
[……Eh?]

[As I said! Tomorrow noon!! “Underworld King-sama” is coming here tomorrow!!!]
[ [ [ ! ? ! ? ! ? ] ] ]
Lilia-san’s voice that sounded like a scream echoed and vanished from the surroundings.
