Chapter 234 I Feel Like the Future Would be Filled with Troubles (1/2)
The 9th Day of the Wind month. With the reservation ticket Dr. Fear gave me, I came to the summer resort in the Demon Realm, Carrel.
It seems that Carrel has a cool climate close to autumn throughout the year, and is a very popular tourist destination near the Teleportation Gate.
The place I arrived at was just like the image of a summer resort. Wooden cottages stood in the midst of the shining, beautiful scenery of the plateau facing a big lake, and a tourist city with various shops can be seen on the other side of the shore…… I see, I can stay in this cottage and shop for anything I need in the city on the opposite shore.
The place looks even better than I expected…… I came alone because I left on such a short notice yesterday, but it might have been more fun to come with someone else.
Well, that’s for next time. For now, I’ll go to the cottage where I plan to stay. Fortunately, my luggage is all in the magic box, so I can just walk around empty-handed. Magic really is quite convenient.
Leisurely enjoying the scenery, I presented my reservation ticket at the Teleportation Gate and looked at the key I received. When I arrived at the cottage where I would be staying, the faint smell of wood tickled my nostrils.
The inside looked quite luxurious, looking like a true resort, even having its own bathroom assorted with magic tools. I feel like it’s a very luxurious place to stay.
It seems that there are several bedrooms to accommodate multiple people, and after choosing one of the bedrooms, I realized that it was just the right time for me to sort out my stuff.
[……Shoot. I forgot to bring any bath towels.]
Yes, I brought a change of clothes and other household items that I usually use…… but the bath towels I usually use were from Lilia-san’s mansion, so I guess I accidentally forgot about them.

I do have face towels with me, so I could use that for the time being…… I guess it’s a good idea to take a stroll and go to the tourist area to buy some.
Even though it wasn’t very big, it’s a tourist city, so I think they would at least have a towel sold there.
Thinking that, I decided to put the luggage I was about to spread out back into my magic box, locked the cottage up tightly before heading out.
About half an hour after Kaito leaves the cottage, a shadow approaches the cottage.
[……It’s been a while since I’ve been here, but it’s still a nice view.]
Lazily muttering with a smile on her face, Lilia reached the cottage while her shimmering blonde hair swayed with the wind. Entering the cottage with the key in her hand, she lightly looked around the rooms.
[This is quite a nice place to rent again…… Now then, there’s probably still some time before Luna arrives, so what should I do?]
Muttering that, Lilia glances at her body.
Unlike Kaito, who used Teleportation Magic to travel to the gate, she felt a little sweaty, though not to the point that she was being bothered by it, probably due to the fact that she had traveled to the gate in a carriage.
[……I guess I would have a light bath……]

In fact, Lilia is quite fond of bathing, and since she originally came here with plans to stretch her wings, she decided to take a bath, even though it was still early, and moved towards the bathroom.
Not knowing about the tragedy that awaits her……
The tourist city was closer than I thought, as my shopping was done in about 40 minutes and I came back to the cottage to sort out my stuff again.
Then, after I unlocked the door and walked into the cottage……
[……Arehh? What’s with this luggage?]
There was a small travel bag in the living room of the carriage…… Of course, I don’t remember bringing that with me.
Did someone get the wrong cottage by any chance? No, they wouldn’t have been able to open it without my key so…… a thief? No, a thief would be the one taking bags, not leaving them here.
As I was tilting my head at the strange situation, I heard small footsteps with the faint sound of creaking wood…… and also, a voice that somehow sounds familiar…… the voice of someone who shouldn’t be here.
[……Luna, you’re early. I’m sorry, I took a bath first—— Eh?]
[……Eh?]

The one who appeared was Lilia-san, dressed in a thin bathrobe while wiping her water-soaked hair with a towel.
The slightly wet white skin peeking through the gaps of the bathrobe looked so beautiful that it made others salivate, but I was more shocked by this situation than I was by such things. As Lilia-san and I remained staring at each other, the both of us stiffened.
Lilia-san’s eyes widened when she saw me and she began to profusely sweat.
[……Kaito…… -san?]
[Errr, why is Lilia-san……]
[……Ki.]
[Ki?]
[Kyyaaaahhhhh!?]
[ ! ? ]
Immediately afterwards, with a scream that seemed to rip through silk, Lilia-san disappeared into the inner rooms at great speed, leaving me stunned as I stared in the direction Lilia-san went…… Errr, what the heck is going on?

Lilia-san came back a while later, properly dressed…… and currently sitting across from me at the table in the living room, looking down with her face blushing red.
[……………………]
[……………………]
It feels awkward, outrageously awkward…… How the heck did this situation happen?
I got a summer resort reservation ticket from Dr. Fear, and came here to get some rest…… but when I went back from shopping, I found Lilia-san fresh out of the bath in the cottage for some reason……
[……K- Kaito-san……]
[Eh? Ah, yes!]
[W- Why are you here…… L- Luna was…… supposed to be here……]
[E- Errr, I don’t really know anything about Lunamaria-san but…… I got a reservation ticket from a friend of mine because she said that she can’t use it……]
Lilia-san thought that Lunamaria-san was coming. I thought I would come alone…… Deriving these two points, the answer would be……
