Chapter 247 I Feel Like I Got to Know Lillywood-san Better (1/2)

14th Day of the Wind month. I’m going to thank the people who helped me make the gift for Lilia-san, so I decided to go to Isis-san’s residence first.

I’ll give Kuro’s music box in the evening, so the people I’m going to give the music boxes today are Isis-san, Lillywood-san and Alice.

[……Kaito…… Welcome…… I’m glad…… that you came.]

[I’m sorry to intrude, but I actually have something for Isis-san.]

[……Something for me?]

In spite of my unexpected visit, Isis-san wholeheartedly welcomed me and willingly invited me into her home.

After having a cup of tea made by Isis-san and apologizing for my sudden visit, I decided to cut to the chase.

Isis-san doesn’t seem to know about my intentions yet, as she cutely tilted her head.

Feeling my heart warmed from her cuteness, I took out the music box I made in the image of Isis-san from my magic box.

[……Eh?]

[I’m grateful to Isis-san for helping me and giving me advice on the previous matter, and you also helped me with the jewels…… It might be comparably shoddy, but please take this.]

[……I- Is that alright?]

[Yes.]

The jewels used for the music box in the image of Isis-san isn’t made with Midnight Crystal, but just ordinary Ice Crystals and Blue Diamonds…… The reason I used these two is simple: I thought that Isis-san’s image wasn’t a deep blue color just like the ocean, but a blue with a lighter shade just like snow and ice.

And the song that the music box is playing is quiet and soft, inspired by the transition from a snowy landscape to spring…… I think it’s a perfect fit for the kind Isis-san.

[……Kaito…… Thank you…… I’m glad…… really…… glad.]

[If you’re glad with it, then I’m happy.]

[……Unnn…… Kaito…… I looooveee you.]

With some tears blotting out of the corners of her eyes, and a smile that looked happy from the bottom of her heart, Isis-san told me her sweet and happy words of thanks.

Just hearing those words and the smile on Isis-san’s face was more than enough to make my efforts worthwhile.

Drinking tea and chatting with Isis-san, we spent some time together filled with happiness.

The forest city of Yggfresis…… I had a glimpse of this city governed by Lillywood-san before, and it is a beautiful city that looks like the city of Rigforeshia enlarged several times over, and I can really feel the power of nature in the air.

In the center of that city, at the base of the giant, heaven-piercing World Tree, this is where Lillywood-san apparently lives.

When I got a branch of the World Tree, Lillywood-san picked me up at the gate, so I didn’t stop by here and it can be said that this is my first visit here.

The place has a majestic appearance that could be described as a temple made of wood, and even though I’ve sent a hummingbird there beforehand, I feel like I’m going to be immediately turned away on the gate……

However, I guess it’s to be expected from Lillywood-san. When I told my name to the gatekeeper at the entrance, he greeted me very politely and showed me to a large reception.

From the walls to the furniture, the room, which was entirely made out of wood, had an indescribably elegant charm in it. For some reason though, it makes me feel like I’m in a temple, but well, it isn’t necessarily a mistake.

To the people of this city, Lillywood-san is an object of faith, and a being equivalent to the Gods…… It wouldn’t be strange if this place feels solemn.

“……My apologies, Kaito-san. I’m sorry to keep you waiting.”

[Ah, no, I’m sorry instead for suddenly intruding.]

As I was drinking the fragrant tea that had the sweetness of fruit served in the reception room, Lillywood-san appeared, and standing up from my seat, I greeted her.

I’ve heard that Lillywood-san is quite busy, so I was prepared to wait for quite a while but…… Thankfully, she seems to have given me quite a bit of priority and went to receive me.

“So, how can I be of help this time? I heard that you had a business with me but…… If I can be of help, please don’t hesitate to let me know.”

[Ah, no, I’m not here to ask for a favor, I came to express my gratitude.]

“……Express…… your gratitude?”

She apparently wasn’t expecting these words, as Lillywood-san asks me back with a wondering expression on her face.

Smiling at Lillywood-san, I took out the music box that held the image of Lillywood-san from my magic box.

The jewels used for this music box is an olive green Peridot…… a jewel that looks like the vibrantly green leaves, which I think is perfect for Lillywood-san.

The song is a powerful, resonant, deep piece of music that is reminiscent of the great outdoors, which also fits Lillywood-san…… Alice really did a great job with this one.

“……Errr…… Kaito-san? If I’m not mistaken…… Isn’t that a music box?”

[Yes. Lillywood-san had helped me in the previous matter, and I want to at least thank you for it……]

“Ahh, errr……]

Lillywood-san looks at the music box that is offered to her, looking puzzled and somewhat troubled.

At the same time as I felt uneasy about whether she doesn’t like it, Lillywood-san speaks with a puzzled look on her face.
