Chapter 282 I was Able to Say "Im Home" (1/2)
The 4th day of the Light month. After being abruptly taken towards the Hydra Kingdom and staying there for nearly 5 days and 4 nights….. we finally returned to the familiar mansion.
Fate-san, Shea-san and Heart-san had to report to the God Realm, or more specifically, to Chronois-san, and that’s why we parted ways at the Hydra Kingdom.
Fate-san insisted on taking me back to the mansion, but no matter how I look at it, she was just trying to escape because she had to report to Chronois-san, so I refused her and returned with Teleportation Magic.
After returning to the mansion, the first thing I did was to go to the office to report to Lilia-san and greet her, and when I went inside the room, there were Lilia-san, Lunamaria-san and Sieg-san…… the usual trio.
[Welcome back, Kaito-san…… How was the Hydra Kingdom?]
[Yes, I had lots of fun there. Ahh, here, I brought some souvenirs.]
It seemed that Heart-san had contacted them, so Lilia-san knew that I wasn’t caught up in something important, and she greeted me with a gentle smile on her face.
As we lightly exchanged chit-chat while I was handing over the souvenirs I had brought, Lilia-san’s expression turned serious after a moment and with a grave tone, she spoke.
[……So, you also encountered King Hydra, right?]
[Eh? No, I didn’t though?]

[……Eh?]
Why is she assuming that I’ve encountered the King of another country? N- No, as expected, after all the things that had happened, I guess I can’t complain huh…… H- However, now that she mentioned it, I think that I really didn’t meet the King on this trip.
I’ve met Shea-san, a remarkable person of the God Realm, but not the Hydra King, someone who’s not a VIP human like the Hydra King…… Ahh, could it be…… that grandpa is actually the King?
[……Lilia-san, is His Majesty, the King of Hydra Kingdom an elderly man?]
[Eh? No, she’s a petite woman of the Mermaid race. But then, Mermaids are long-lived species, so her actual age is quite a bit older than her appearance……]
[……So, I guess I really didn’t meet her then.]
Apparently, the King of Hydra Kingdom is a girl of the Mermaid race…… Unnn. For once, I really don’t have a clue.
[R- Really?]
[Yes, I certainly saw some Mermaids often in the city…… but I didn’t talk with any of them, and I don’t think I’ve met any of them who feels like a King.]
[………………..]

When I honestly told her that I had no idea about it, Lilia-san’s eyes opened wide and she stiffened for some reason.
Then, she turned to me, looking as if she was thinking about something, then slowly moved her gaze to the side.
[……Luna!]
[Yes…… “His pulse rate is normal”.]
[……Sieg!]
[Hmmm. He doesn’t have any fever.]
[Hey……]
Along with Lilia-san’s words, Lunamaria-san checks my pulse and Sieg-san puts her hand on my forehead to check if I don’t have any fever.
After hearing their words, Lilia-san turned pale, and looking as if she was shuddering, she muttered.
[……No way, for that Kaito-san to not get to know anyone powerful when he walked out on his own? T- That’s…… not possible!]

[My Lady, I agree with you…… I think it would be better if we commission the royal physician and have a look at him……]
[B- Both of you, please calm down. Even if he didn’t encounter powerful people there, you may just be exaggerating it. It may just be that Kaito-san was fatigued after being suddenly sent to an unfamiliar place, and it might be best for us to let him get some rest first before seeing how things go.]
……What the heck is with this situation? Why the heck are they acting like it’s an anomaly that I haven’t met King Hydra?
Strange, no matter how I think about it, this is strange…… I’d like to spend an hour questioning what kind of person I am within Lilia-san and the others’ minds.
[……Kaito-san, how about you take some rest today? You may have been gathering quite the fatigue…… I will also have something nourishing brought to your room so you can rest……]
[No, no, wait, Lilia-san? It’s not like I’m feeling unwell…… So, please don’t look so seriously worried about me……]
[H- However……]
Apparently, in Lilia-san and the others minds, the fact that I didn’t meet King Hydra means that I’m feeling unwell, especially Lilia-san, who was nervously speaking to me with a worried expression on her face.
……Moreover, they aren’t being sarcastic or were just doing this to tease me, they’re seriously worried that I’m feeling unwell!? If they’re like this, I can’t complain about their strangeness…… W- What should I do, is there something that could derail their thoughts…… wait, that’s right!
[Ummm, Lilia-san. I haven’t met King Hydra……. but I met a High-ranking God, God of Disasters-sama, you know?]
