Chapter 79 Her Over-Seriousness is Also a Problem (2/2)
I see, it seems that they weren’t injured by the Black Bears, but they fainted because of Isis-san’s magic power of death.
[Incidentally, Rei-sama and Fia-sama are attending a reorganization meeting for the almost destroyed security force.

[Almost destroyed!? Reorganization? Eh? I heard that the city received no damage though……]
[Yes, the Black Bear didn’t cause any damage. However, after being exposed to Death Kin-sama’s frightening magic power of death, almost half of them had their minds broken……]
[That’s not surprising. Even I couldn’t stop shaking for a while. It was rather fortunate that Kusunoki-sama and Yuzuki-sama were among the first ones to faint.]
In the aftermath, she broke the Guard Force’s mind!? How outrageous could her magic power of death be……
How terrifying Isis-san was at that time can be seen by looking at the three of them trembling just as they remembered what they’ve seen.
It seems that Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san were fortunate that they passed out before their minds could process the horror caused by Isis-san’s magic power of death.
Just when we were speaking about that, Lilia-san stood up with a serious expression on her face, she walked up to me…… and suddenly got down on her knees.
[……Eh?]
[Kaito-san, I’m really sorry.]
[Li- Lilia-san!? W- What are you suddenly doing!?]

I’m really confused about why suddenly kneeled on a dogeza, and Lilia-san just held out the necklace I gave her last night.
[Kuro’s necklace?]
[……This necklace had a defensive magic imbued on it, though not a powerful one…… That is to say, if I hadn’t borrowed this, Kaito-san wouldn’t have been injured like that.]
There’s defensive magic in Kuro’s necklace? That’s the first time I’ve heard that though……. I thought there was only search magic in it, but it seems that there are lots of other magic in it as well.
Lilia-san didn’t seem to understand all the details about this necklace either, but after the earlier incident, she asked the former court mage Rei-san to take a look at this necklace and found out that it contained defensive magic.
Deeply bowing her head, Lilia-san’s voice was trembling as she continued to speak.
[No, if only I had been more level-headed right from the start…… I said I would guarantee the safety of Kaito-san and the others just when we met, but I was so preoccupied with myself that I forgot to even have someone guard Kaito-san and the others, and because of that, Kaito-san got hurt. Everything is… Everything’s my fault.]
[……N- No, it’s not like it’s Lilia-san’s fault or anything like that……]
[No, it could have been prevented if I had only been more level-headed. If I had just been more careful…… I’m sorry. I’m really, really sorry.]
Lilia-san’s voice began to distort with tears, as she continued to bow her head, keeping on apologizing to me…… The heck, she’s starting to get annoying.

I repeat, I’m not some kind of saint. I don’t remember it happening that much, but I can also get angry at times.
[Kaito-san. I’m really sorry……]
[……Lilia-san. I’m going to apologize in advance.]
[……Eh?]
After I told that to Lilia-san who keeps on apologizing to me, I swung my knuckles down on her head as hard as I could.
[Ow!?]
Even though Lilia-san is a person with great abilities, she isn’t always using Body Strengthening Magic.
My knuckles that struck her unprotected head seemed to be quite painful, and Lilia-san held her head down with both of her hands.
[If you just shut up there, and stop murmuring like a creep there…… How serious can you be that you distorted the facts and reached towards that conclusion!?]
[Eh? Eh?]

[What happened before was just an accident, right? I got hurt because I got careless, and me being careless isn’t Lilia-san’s fault at all! Or rather, shouldn’t I be thanking you instead, Lilia-san? Thank you for saving me before!]
[Eh? Ah, y- y- yes. Y- You’re welcome?]
Hearing the words I blabbered about, LIlia-san flusteredly nodded, though she still had a puzzled look on her face.
[Good. Then, this is the end of this conversation! If you say anything more about it being your fault or anything like that, I’ll hit you again.]
[Y- Yes!]
[In the first place, thinking that everything is your fault is a bad habit of yours, Lilia-san. I know that Lilia-san is a serious person, but it still depends on the time and circumstances. Even that time too……]
Lilia-san, whose position quickly changes from a dogeza to a seiza, and I go on with my lecture-like words.
(T/N: dogeza is the bowing, seiza is the sitting upright on your knees.)
I honestly don’t think that this is something she’s always doing, and maybe it’s not something I should have said to her, but I think someone should tell off this overly-serious person.
[Terrific. I am now inclined to give Miyama-sama a heartfelt round of applause. That’s really well said……]

[………………]
[Lu- Luna!? Sieg too, don’t just nod there, please help me out. Kaito-san somehow looks kinda scary right now……]
[Lilia-san! I’m still not done talking yet!]
[Y- Yes!? I’m sorry!]
Lilia-san looked like she’s becoming teary-eyed in a way different from a moment ago, but since I don’t intend to be lenient to her, I’m going to continue my sermon.
Dear Mom, Dad——- I don’t really think that this is something she’s always doing, but I still scolded her for that. Well, how should I say this—– her over-seriousness is also a problem.

If only I had been level-headed, I could have prevented Kaito from being injured

If I had just arranged someone to escort them……

In other words, it’s my fault that Kaito was injured

It’s all my fault.
