Chapter 207 It Seems that Lunamaria-sans Mother is Coming (1/2)

On the 18th day of the Earth month, when I was about to head to the dining room for breakfast, Alice appeared.

[Kaito-san, I’m sorry…… All the Six Kings have a meeting today, so I would be going out for a while.]

[Eh? Ahh, I guess you really have those kinds of meetings huh.]

[Ahh~~ no, we don’t have regular meetings…… It’s just that we were sometimes called to a meeting. As expected, there’s no way I could just have my clone attend for me, so I’m going to attend with my main body.]

[Alright.]

Even if she’s like that, Alice is still one of the Six Kings, the pinnacle of the Demon Realm. It’s hard to imagine it if you just look at how she regularly acts, but she really must be busy with lots of things.

At any rate, I’m very relieved to know that Alice is always with me as my guard, so when she declared that she’s going to be relieving her duties as my guard for a moment, I feel a little uneasy.

[Ahh, it will be alright. There’s someone who will substitute as your guard in my stead.]

[……When you say substitute, are you talking about those Count-level Demons from before?]

[Ahh, no, I was actually planning on having them guard you at first but…… An unexpected person took on the job of guarding you, so I decided to leave it to her.]

[……Unexpected?]

[Yes, I tried to make her try out guarding you back on your third day on Rigforeshia…… And it doesn’t seem like there would be any problems with her, so I’ll leave it to her.]

[Fumu…… So, who is that?]

[It’s a secret.]

[Why!?]

I was wondering if the Count-level, high-ranked demons would be guarding me just like when Alice had to leave before, but they apparently wouldn’t guard me this time.

I was curious about who would be guarding me, so I asked her, but Alice somewhat happily replied that it was a secret.

[Well, you just have to look forward to when you find out…… Then, I’ll be off~~]

[Ahh, Alice! Wait a moment!]

[Fuehh? What’s the matter?]

[Ah, well…… Here.]

Stopping Alice, who was about to leave with an unnatural salute, I took out the fruit sticks from my magic box and gave it to her.

[You probably aren’t eating properly again anyway……]

[Kaito-san…… Kuhhh~~~. As expected, even if you say all those things, you’re really a kind person! For you, for you to love me this much—— Fugyyaahhh!?]

[Just take them already.]

[Yes~~…… Well then, I’ll be off.]

[Yeah, take care.]

She’s still acting like usual, but I guess Alice would still be the same as always…… Thinking like that, I see Alice off with a wry smile on my face.

After a series of strangely unusual situations, and after finishing breakfast…… There was one person who was acting strangely.

[………………….]

[Ummm, Lilia-san…… Why is Lunamaria-san acting like that since earlier?]

In front of the four of us who gathered in the dining room, Aoi-chan, Hina-chan, Lilia-san and I…… Lunamaria-san has been pacing back and forth in the dining room for a while now, and it seemed like she can’t calm down at all.

I tried asking Lilia-san about it, but she just tilted her head, also wondering the same thing.

[I don’t know? Luna…… What’s going on?]

[Ahh, My Lady…… N- No, actually…… Mother informed me that she was coming to visit……]

[Is that so? How unusual.]

[Y- Yes…… She said that she had something important to do……]

Instead of her usual aloofness, Lunamaria-san looked flustered, as she’s worried about something.

Not only me, but Aoi-chan and Hina-chan also know that Lunamaria-san really cares about her mother.

She eats the lunchbox that her mother made for her everyday, and I think they’re a good mother and daughter.

[Lunamaria-san’s mother?]

[I’ve only heard things about her, so I’m curious!]

Aoi-chan and Hina-chan also seem to be interested in Lunamaria-san’s mother, who they don’t know much about, so they said that to Lunamaria-san, who is restlessly moving her gaze.

[Y- Yes…… I was thinking of introducing her to everyone at some point but…… I had some serious concerns so I was hesitating.]

[Serious concerns? What do you mean, Luna?]

[……I was afraid that if I introduced her to Miyama-sama…… My mother would be “violated”……]

[……Wait a second there, can I have about an hour or so of your time, let me just ask you what is your character assessment of me deep within your mind……]

All those bullcrap, what in the world are you saying, Lunamaria-san…… Or rather, seriously, what does she think I am in this person’s mind?

[No, no, I’m saying this as her daughter…… but my mother is a bit easy. She has always been sickly and a bit naive, and since my father died more than 50 years ago…… I’ve been firmly focused on my job, so she must feel lonely. If she encounters Miyama-sama, both the parent and the child would be easily ensnared…… Just thinking about that makes me frightened.]

[……Oi.]

Somehow, it seems that in Lunamaria-san’s mind…… She’s thinking I was some kind of Great Demon Lord of Lust from a distant world.

[……You really care about your mother, Luna.]
