Chapter 249 Theres Something Cute about Her that I just Cant Leave Alone (1/2)

16th Day of the Wind month. Half a month has already passed in the Wind month, and the incoming month, the Light month, is about to come.

Well, to be honest, it was partly because the past few months have been unusually dense, and I even thought of “Eh? Six months haven’t even passed yet!?”……

I think I have felt lots of changes in me come in less than 5 months. I’m not only looking forward to the future now, but recently, I felt like I’ve also been able to adapt to the common sense of this world recently.

As expected, that would most probably be because I’ve already settled my emotions…… and that I’ve made a clear decision about what I’m going to do in the future, and I guess you can say that I’ve broken through an emotional barrier.

Well, I’ve certainly gone through a lot of changes since I came to this world, but it isn’t just me, as the people around me have changed a lot too.

But well, there are things that don’t change even if I try to change them……

[……Hahhh……]

It’s midnight and the date is about to change. I let out a sigh as I stood in front of one of the rooms.

There was a faint light leaking out from underneath the door in front of my gaze, proving that someone was in this room.

If this was someone’s private room, I would have thought that they were just staying up late but…… The door that is currently in front of me is the door to the office…… In short, a room where you do work.

And the fact that this room has been in use for the longest time in the mansion is, needless to say, a well-known fact…… Well, it might be obvious already, but the one inside is Lilia-san.

Seriously…… Isn’t she working a little too hard? The other day, when we went on a trip together, we talked about how the both of us shouldn’t push ourselves too hard…… Only a few days passed and she’s already like this.

I don’t know if I should say that it’s just like Lilia-san or not, but seriously, I think her personality of being too serious is a problem.

Letting out a sigh in front of the door again, I walked away from the place and started walking in the “opposite direction of my room”.

A little after the date changed to the 17th day of the Wind month, I knocked on the door of Lilia-san’s office.

[……Yes? Come in.]

[Excuse me.]

[Eh? Kaito-san?]

Probably because she didn’t expect that there would be someone knocking on the door this late, a voice filled with curiosity called out from behind the door.

After receiving Lilia-san’s permission to enter, I opened the door and walked in. It seems that Lilia-san didn’t think it was me, as her eyes opened wide and a surprised expression appeared on her face.

[……What’s the matter? You’re up at this hour.]

[No, that’s more of my line here……]

[A- Ahaha……]

Muttering in response to Lilia-san, who curiously tilted her head as she turned her reproaching eyes at me, Lilia-san wryly smiles with the expression of a child whose prank has been discovered.

While letting out a sigh looking at such a Lilia-san, I take out the things I’ve prepared in the dining room earlier from my magic box.

[……Here’s something to refresh yourself . Please take a break for a moment.]

[Eh? T- Thank you.]

[Sieg-san has taught me a few things but…… please pardon me if it tastes comparably crude.]

I’ve brought tea and cookies…… Well, I made the tea, but the cookies are bought from the bakery. It’s impossible for me to bake cookies in a short time, so I prepared the ones I have in my magic box.

Lilia-san seems to be a bit apologetic as she looks at the tea and cookies I’ve prepared, and obediently following what I said, she stops processing her paperwork and took a break.

By the way, I’ve prepared a warm cup of tea and cookies for her…… It’s because I wanted to make her feel sleepy and get rested already but…… Well, I’m not really certain if she would feel sleepy after she fills up her belly, so I could only hope that it happens.

[……It’s very warm and delicious. Thank you.]

[That’s good to hear…… By the way, Lilia-san?]

[Yes?]

Looking at Lilia-san, who was smiling with relief after drinking tea, I decided to cut to the chase.

[If I remember correctly…… We talked about how the both of us will refrain from pushing ourselves too hard, right?]

[Ahh. errr…… This is, ummm……]

[Lilia-san, please don’t look away.]

[N- No, I have some business that I really need to deal with as soon as possible……]

Hearing my words, Lilia-san, who clearly looked flustered turned away her gaze…… That gesture of hers looks very cute, but now, there’s an oni appearing within my heart as I continue speaking.

[Heehhh……. That must be quite the urgent business huh?]

[Y- Yes, that’s right. Well, so, you just happened to see me when……]

[Lunamaria-san told me that most of the work that Lilia-san is doing today is “work that Lilia-san didn’t originally have to do” though……]
