Chapter 41 Shiro-san was Still the Same (1/2)
Although things had become hectic in the beginning, the talks with the Goddess of Time is once again commenced.
In front of us is a luxurious table made of crystal, and as soon as we are seated at the prompting of the Goddess of Time, tea is served in front of us.
[Please have some tea, Kaito-sama, Lilia-sama.]
[Thank you very much.]
[Eh? Arehh? T- Thank you very much.]
She works as quickly as always. Putting me aside since I’ve already seen her work like that before, but seeing Lilia-san being bewildered as I expected, she looked somewhat amusing. I bet Acht and the others must have had the same thoughts when they saw me reacting like that back when we had barbecue.
[……Oi, you b*tch…… The heck is this……]
As I was thinking about this, the Goddess of Time raised her voice as if to suppress her anger, and when I looked over at her…… and saw that in front of the Goddess of Time is a tankard? No, it was a container that had a size that it’s better to call it pitcher instead, and it was filled in white liquid.
It looks like milk from the outside, but putting milk in that large container is really outrageous. In fact, it was completely just harassment now.
[What is it? Even though I’ve taken the trouble of getting you something to drink…… Well, I’m really doubting if that will have any effect on that cliff of yours.]

[……I’m going to crush you, you b*tch.]
[If you could do that, why don’t you try……]
You two are going to start fighting again!? Do you hate each other that much!?
[……………]
[……………]
[Errr, the two of you…… The talks won’t advance, so please leave it at that.]
[……That’s amazing, Kaito-san. How can you cut in between them within an atmosphere like that……?]
I told them to restrain themselves as I didn’t want them to start butting heads again, and it seemed like both of them seemed to understand as they turned their glares away from each other and took their seats.
On the other hand, Lilia-san is looking at me like she’s moved for some reason. I’m worried that this will raise the bars in a strange direction again, but anyway, the talks should advance now……
[You’re right, my bad. Well then, once again, I thank you for accepting my invitation on such short notice and for the trouble I’ve caused you. Lilia Albert, Miyama Kaito.]

[N- No. It’s a great honor for me to have this opportunity to speak with the Goddess of Time.]
[You need not be so stiff. I’m the one who called you out, so you are, in a way, my guests. Make yourself comfortable.]
[Y- Yes!?]
Despite her haughtiness, the Goddess of Time’s voice has no sharpness in it, and sounds somewhat gentle. However, that’s only when she’s talking to others aside from Ein-san……
In contrast to her, Lilia-san is already so stiff to the point that it was quite clear to see, as her back is stretched out and her shoulders are slightly trembling. It’s similar to when she first met Kuro.
[Well, though I said that, I’ve already solved most of the questions I’ve wanted to ask you lot though.]
[ [ Eh? ] ]
[The reason why I called out to you lot before was, Miyama…… I felt an unordinary pressure from you.]
[A pressure……?]
[Umu. A pressure that shows indications of surpassing mine. As for its identity, I found out when “that” arrived. I see, they’re fragments of the Underworld King’s magic power huh…… If that’s the case, I can understand why I felt that pressure.]

The reason why the Goddess of Time was interested in me is that she sensed Kuro’s magic power from me when we encountered each other before.
However, what did she mean when she mentioned that fragment of Kuro’s magic power. What came to my mind was that necklace with the magic crystal that Kuro gave me before…… but I temporarily left that necklace with Lilia-san, and it wasn’t returned until after Kuro formally visited Lilia-san’s mansion. I at least don’t think I have it in my possession at that point.
[However, that fellow really doesn’t change huh…… I could see that she’s still wandering around the world.]
