Chapter 220 Just Around the Corner (2/2)

When I met her before, she looked like a bright and elegant princess, but that was just the way she interacted with her family, and apparently, she behaves differently in official assembly halls. I guess I should say that it’s to be expected from royalty huh……

In the meantime, we reached the entrance of the assembly hall and at one end, we were separated from all the guards here.

[Well then, master. We will wait on standby in the vicinity of the assembly hall. If anything happens, we’ll immediately rush over, so don’t worry.]

[Unnn. I’m counting on you, Anima.]

[Hahh!]

[Eta and Theta too, I’m counting on you two.]

[ [ Yes! ] ]

Encouraged by their firm responses, I took one look at Lilia-san next to me, who was also being encouraged by Sieg-san and Lunamaria-san, and then, we walked into the assembly hall together.

Inside the assembly hall, it looked like an extravagant room that I’ve only seen from anime and games.

It was such a dazzling and overwhelming sight that I felt as if the entire hall was shining. Everywhere I looked, I could see wealthy-looking…… people that seem to be nobles.

Ah, this is bad…… I’m starting to get nervous now. It’s not like I’m going to do anything directly, but a place where so many people are gathered together is still a hard hurdle to overcome for a former loner like me.

While I was thinking like that, I felt the hem of my clothes being lightly plucked. Turning around, I saw Lilia-san, looking at me with a slightly anxious expression on her face.

[……This is no good. I have been away from social circles for a while now…… and standing here makes me strangely nervous.]

[It certainly is a pretty amazing sight, isn’t it? …… I’m also strangely nervous.]

[Even Kaito-san is nervous?]

[Wait right there, Lilia-san? What the heck do you think I am?]

[I- I’m sorry!?]

I don’t know what kind of being with a spirit of steel I’m being made to be in Lilia-san’s mind…… I think she was just overestimating me, but that also shows how much she trusts me, so I’m a bit…… no, I’m quite happy.

For all sorts of things, Lilia-san has been helping me ever since I came to this world.

If Lilia-san wasn’t the first person I met when I first arrived in this world…… I’m sure that I wouldn’t be the person I am today.

That’s why I’m grateful to Lilia-san from the bottom of my heart, and why I want to be her strength when the time comes.

[……Lilia-san, I know there’s not much I can do for you but…… I will be rooting for you. Please do your best.]

[……Kaito-san. Thank you. Those words are really reassuring.]

Hearing my words, Lilia-san happily smiled, and looked around the assembly hall, her eyes filled with a strong light…… and silently stared at a certain spot.

Dear Mom, Dad——– I came to the royal palace to attend Amalie-san’s birthday party. Lilia-san’s dearest wish…… to confront the people who once tormented Lilia-san and the others——- is just around the corner.

At the same time, a light fills the building behind the temple in the Symphonia Kingdom, where the gate leading to the God Realm is located.

[……Now then, according to Phantasmal King’s letter, it’s about time……]

The Goddess begins to leisurely walk, her deep blue hair fluttering with the wind and her differently-colored eyes staring forward.

The scenario written by the Phantasmal King…… And she plays an important role in it. She’s Lilia’s trump card.

[Well then, I guess I should head towards the royal palace……]

After muttering that, the Supreme God who governs time…… Chronois went to her friend to stand by her side.

And thus, Lilia’s Arc starts.

Serious-senpai: [I- I won’t be fooled…… I won’t be fooled by this candy-like chapter in front of me…… It would probably be that way again, right? It would head towards that pattern, right? You know, the one where you start with “This is it!” feeling, only to be quickly resolved in the next chapter!?]

Serious-senpai: [D*mn youuuuuuuuuu!!!]

T/N: Sorry, a bit late. I was reading Ookumo-chan Flashback and couldn’t put it down until I caught up with the latest chapters so…
