Chapter 559: Id Be Lying if I Said I Wasnt Happy (1/2)

After the fun date with Kuro, it would have been great if we went back to the Central Tower together but…… As she was the one who was running the event, Kuro seemed to be busy, so we decided to part ways at the Central Plaza where we had first met.

Maybe because tomorrow is finally the last day of the Six Kings Festival, and there are preparations they need to make for the party that is going to be held in the Central Tower.

Anyway, after seeing Kuro off with a wave, I didn’t go back to the Central Tower…… and started walking towards the stalls.

Unnn, how should I say this…… I’ve eaten nothing but baby castellas for almost the whole day, so I wanted to eat something else. Dinner time is near so I’m going to try not to eat too much, but I want to eat some skewers or something.

As I was walking towards the area lined with stalls, I suddenly saw a familiar figure ahead of me…… someone who shouldn’t have been here.

[……Illness-san?]

[Oyaaa? If it isn’t Kaito-samaaaa, good evening~~ What a coincidenceeee, meeting you here.]

[Ah, yes. Good evening.]

When I called out to her…… Illness-san, a maid at Lilia-san’s mansion, turned around and replied with her peculiar tone.

Illness-san is a maid under Lilia-san’s service, and she’s the one who cleans my room and changes the sheets on my bed.

At about 120cm tall, she’s the smallest person I’ve ever met except for Raz-san, and with her dark gray-colored hair that is moderately long she had the image of a youthful beauty.

However, as one would have expected in this world, where appearances couldn’t always describe what a person is, and despite her petite stature, Illness-san seems to be the oldest of the servants in the mansion.

And there are two…… no, three major characteristics that could describe Illness-san.

The first is her peculiar way of speaking. The second is her unfocused black eyes…… as if she was always staring at the empty skies.

And the third……

[Kuhiii, kuhihihihi…… Even though it may be a coincidenceeee~~ I’m glaaaad to have met Kaito-samaaaa.]

——is her very creepy smile that looks more like a grin rather than a smile.

Her peculiar way of speaking, unfocused eyes and creepy laugh…… If one only looks at these, how should I say this…… although it may be rude to say this, they would think that she’s a creepy person.

In fact, when I first met her…… I actually got really scared of her.

[Oyaaa? Kaito-samaaaa, do you mind crouching for a biiiiit?]

[Eh? Ah, yes.]

The sight of Illness-san urging me to crouch down with a smile on her face, the corners of her lips turned up so high that I can see her teeth, makes it look as if she’s going to play a prank on me.

Following Illness-san’s words…… Illness-san took a comb out of nowhere and started combing my hair.

[……There~~ You look greaaaat.]

[Thank you.]

[No, noooo~~]

Unnn, well, how should I say this…… I thought Illness-san was very creepy when I first met her, but she was actually…… a very “caring and gentle person”.

In the beginning, when I first came to this world, I was the only man in a mansion filled with women, so I was feeling ashamed, but it was Illness-san who stepped forward to be my exclusive maid, and I have been under her care ever since I came to this world.

The room she cleans is always spotless, the bed is very comfortable, and the clothes she washes are wrinkle-free.

Anyway, she is very talented and Lilia-san said that she’s indebted to Illness-san. Of course, I’m also indebted to her.

Furthermore, not only was she a skilled maid, she was also a top-notch leader, and this is something I just heard but…… it seems that it was actually Illness-san who instructed Anima in miscellaneous tasks such as letter processing, and Eta and Theta in the basic tasks of being a maid.

On top of that, she’s even taking care of Bell and Lynn while Sieg-san and I are away……

But well, even though she’s an amazing person, according to her, she doesn’t like standing out, so she basically stays behind the scenes.
