Chapter 715: Intermission: Lunamaria ~ ~ The Biggest Crisis Ever ~ ~ (2/2)

[……Fumu, continue.]

[I- I understand how he felt because I'm close to my mother too…… a- and as expected, I feel really shy being spoiled by Mom in public. T- That's why, I think Miyama-sama feels the same way, so if it's just you two……]

The words Lunamaria desperately spun seemed to have reached Eden…… as she lightly brought her hand on her chin, looking like she was thinking of something.

[……I see, that was quite interesting to hear. Lump of flesh…… What did you say your name again?]

[Y- Yes. I- I'm Lunamaria.]

[Fumu, I will keep your name in mind. You seem to be more promising than most lumps of flesh. I appreciate those who are worthy, even if you are but a lump of flesh. Hereafter, I especially allow you to call me by my name.]

[T- Thank you very much…… E- Eden-sama.]

It seems that Lunamaria's words were highly appreciated, as Eden's assessment of her has greatly increased.

Thereupon, Eden pulled out a huge bag out of nowhere and handed it to Lunamaria.

[For all your hard work, this is your reward.]

[Y- Yes. It is an honor.]

When Lunamaria glanced inside, she saw that the bag contained a large amount of white gold coins.

[Now, our conversation ends here. Lunamaria, prepare the tea as soon as possible. I'll leave the choice of tea leaves to you.]

[Yes! Understood!]

Relieved that she was out of mortal danger for the time being, Lunamaria vigorously saluted and began preparing tea.

What the relieved Lunamaria didn't realize though…… was what it meant for the ”omniscient” Eden to determine that her words ”isn't a lie”……

Anyhow, Lunamaria prepared Kaito's tea and entrusting the cart to Eden, who had changed into a maid uniform before she knew it…… and within her heart, she apologized to Kaito who would probably be suffering for what she said.
