Chapter 37 It Seems Like my Magic Power had Awakened (1/2)

After having some conversation with Sieg-san for a while, I walked down the hallway again.

It’s still dark outside as it was now 5 AM…… I began heading towards Lilia-san’s office, where she must have bee staying up all night. When I reached my destination, I took a deep breath before knocking on the door and announcing my name.

Then, after I heard Lilia-san saying that I can enter, I go inside the room.

[Good morning. Lilia-san.]

[Good morning…… What’s the matter? Isn’t it still early?]

As soon as I walked in, I noticed the large desk in which Lilia-san was writing what looked like a letter in there. Seeing my arrival, she stopped for a moment to return my greeting with a smile on her face.

I could see some fatigue on her face, which may have been because she stayed up all night, but she is a former member of the Knight Order. Her basic physical capabilities are different from mine, as she looked much more energetic than I had imagined.

[No, I just woke up early…… Lilia-san, you really stayed up all night huh?]

[Yes, I can’t really slack off with this quantity.]

[……Somehow, I’m sorry for that.]

[You don’t have to apologize. I may have said something like that to you yesterday, but I’m rather grateful to you, Kaito-san.]

Since I’m about half the reason why Lilia-san is buried in this massive amount of letters, I somehow felt guilty and uttered an apology, but what I got back from Lilia-san were words of gratitude instead.

When I tilted my head because of the words I never expected to hear, Lilia-san wrily smiled at me before explaining.

Although Lilia-san was a former princess, she had been away from social circles for a long time while she’s a member of the Knight Order. For that reason, after she acquired her peerage….. It seems that she had a hard time making those so-called connections. Fortunately or unfortunately, she suddenly became the woman of the hour, and it may be difficult for her, but at the same time, it was also a lifeboat carrying Lilia-san from her troubles.

She explained that in the current situation where she was thought to have strong connections with the Demon Realm and the God Realm, this would be an opportunity for Lilia-san to have a very advantageous position in connections to other nobles, and she was really grateful for that.

[……Even if I were the head of my family, it could be said that I’m quite inexperienced in my role. I’m really grateful, having acquired such an opportunity…… However, since I’m taking advantage of Kaito-san’s friendship for my own reasons, I rather feel like I need to apologize to you instead.]

[Errr, I didn’t really do anything special so……]

[I knew you would say that….. But, at least, please let me say my gratitude. Thank you very much, Kaito-san.]

[Ah, no, errr, you’re welcome?]

[Fufufu, well, I’m saying the truth when I said this is bad for my heart, so I’d rather you not do this again next time.]

Lilia-san’s gentle smile as she thanked me, together with her beautiful appearance, was filled with a very inquisitive charm.

After exchanging a few words, I remembered the original purpose of my visit here and opened my mouth again.

[Ah, that’s right. Lilia-san, Sieg-san…… Sieglinde-san has brewed me a cup from the tea that the Goddess gave me before, and I know you’re tired from writing letters all night, so do you want some?]

[Eh? Would it be alright?]

[Yes, of course.]

[……Thank you very much. Indeed, I’m a bit tired, and I think I should get some break.]

Yes, the reason I came to visit her was to bring Lilia-san a cup of tea. Time won’t pass for the things I put into my magic box, so I stored the entire pot of tea that Sieg-san made for me and brought it with me.

No matter how well she acted, the color of fatigue could still be seen on Lilia-san’s face. She’s a serious person, and I’m sure she hasn’t had much of a break in the middle of her work, so if possible, I wanted her to take a break at this time.

Perhaps sensing my intentions, Lilia-san put down the pen in her hand and after bowing to me, she began clearing her desk a bit.

Then, when I saw that there was enough space on the desk, I took the pot out and a cup from the magic box, and placed the tea and the cookies that Sieg-san shared with me in front of Lilia-san.

[It smells so good, doesn’t it?]

[Yes, Sieg-san said it’s a tea that can only be found in the God Realm.]

I decided to keep quiet about the fact that it’s apparently a super high-class product and just tell her that it’s a rare tea for the time being.

Lilia-san gracefully brings the cup to her mouth as if she’s enjoying the aroma of the team and after a while, her eyes slightly widened.

[……It’s wonderful. I’ve never had tea as tasty as this one.]

[The tea seems to be a good one, and Sieg-san was quite skillful in brewing it.]

[Speaking of which, Sieg praised Kaito-san before.]

[Eh? Is that so?]

[Yes, she said that if you would need an escort next time, then let her be the one in charge……]
