Liliana moved from Tortus to earth, and around the time she became idol princess Lily through a lot of ○○ Princess chapter.
Hajime was walking through the street at night with one hand holding a bag filled with supply.
He was heading toward the condominium that Sumire was renting to use for her work.
Even after being a top idol, Lily didn't throw away her position as "mangaka princess". When she had time she would draw her own manga at Sumire's work place, and she was also working as Sumire's assistant even now. Tonight too she was doing that.
By the way, Sumire's work place was rented by thinking about the distance to the publishing pany rather than to her own home, so originally using "gate" to teleport was the quickest way.
Regardless of that, Hajime was walking the street at night like this while feeling the coldness in the air. The reason was simply because he was feeling like it.
A certain friend with thin shadow said it to him, that the Artifacts were too convenient and all-purpose. If one didn't control themselves and be prudent to a certain degree in using it, it felt like they would enter the territory of laziness. Hearing that Hajime too could nod 「Certainly」 in agreement.
And so, as long as it wasn't really necessary, he would walk with his own feet like this, or even if he used it, he would manage it so it would still be in the realm of earth's mon sense.
「It has bee really cold huh……」
It wasn't to the degree that his breath would turn white yet, but it soon would be a period where the autumn colors also ended. Ordinarily it was a period that would make anyone want to put on a warm jacket.
Hajime's physique was tough so it wasn't necessary, but without exception Hajime was also putting on a long cardigan with slightly thicker fabric.
Hajime's appearance today was black jeans and white shirt with loose collar. In addition he was wearing a dark grey long cardigan. His attire itself was simple, but from outsider perspective it looked really good on him. The quality of the clothes that were obviously not cheap even from a glance also somehow raised Hajime's manliness.
In fact, a woman who seemed to be just ing home from work that he passed by just now was throwing several glances at him when they were passing each other, so it seemed that the attire wasn't bad to be able to make a woman to forget their wariness to opposite sex while walking on street at night.
To tell the truth, Hajime's rescent dress code was decided by Remia most of the time.
She and Tio was bearing the responsibility for the design and management of "the shop of jewelry that had just a bit of miraculous blessing" made by Hajime right from the start, but right now they were managing the business with an objective of venturing to apparel product.
Whether it was Remia's western-style design, or Tio's design idea that was a mix of eastern and western style, they became quite the topic so the business was pletely on track. In that situation, Remia brought home the clothes and accessories with design from their own pany and made Hajime wore it.
Remia looked like she was having fun, so Hajime generally dressed like she was telling him to.
Returning to the main topic.
Hajime was secretly enjoying the night air and the silence while he soon would arrive at the condominium. It was then Hajime suddenly stopped. And then, his eyes narrowed slowly.
At that time there was a female high school student who seemed to be ing back from school club activity was glancing at Hajime while passing him by, so she twitched thinking like 「No way-, my glance is noticed!」. She quickened her pace while shaking.
Of course, just now Hajime wasn't exposing his displeasure because he couldn't bear the glance of a student.
「……Well, doesn't matter.」
Hajime's gaze fell at the supply his hand was holding while slightly hesitating, but then he shrugged and resumed walking.
The condominium Sumire was renting wasn't a high-rise condominium or a high class building, but its security was solid. It also had a manager that was permanently present there which Hajime was acquainted with. Hajime greeted the manager who was a former police officer and entered inside.
He used elevator until the tenth floor. Even there for some reason Hajime's gaze was getting strained while he fished inside his pocket and he did something with a sigh feeling that it was troublesome.
He pulled himself together and rang the interphone. When he showed his face through the camera, an excited voice 「Ye~s! I'll open it now!」 could be heard.
「Wele! Hajime-san!」
From the door that was opened within just a few seconds, an idol who recently often appeared on TV――so to speak it was Liliana, she leaped out. Her wide smile that was like blooming flower was obviously different from the smile that was seen at TV.
「Yo, I came bringing supply as well as helper.」
Hajime returned back a smile while showing the bag filled with supply. The warm bag was filled inside with warm food like toasted sandwich and so on. The toasted sandwich was handmade by Shia, it was made from ingredients with reduced sugar content, even the bread. A late-night snack that would make woman happy.
「Fufuh, thank you very much. Now, please enter. Although it still cannot be said to be winter, but the air is really cold already.」
「You're right. It feels like a lot of the time an idol will wear thin clothes, so rather than me you should watch out for your health Lily.」
「I'm fine. There are time that it might bee fatal for the country if I collapse and the work piled up, so I've been really good at managing my health since my time as princess.」
「……Rather than working hard even if you collapse, working hard so you don't collapse is still better huh……」
How Lily was more concerned to prevent hindrance toward her work rather than her health itself, in the end at her root Lily was a workaholic princess.
Liliana took the supply bag from Hajime's hand, then she also took off his long cardigan.
The inside of the room was warm, wearing the cardigan would be a hindrance in working so it was surely better to wear only shirt but……
From outside perspective, she also looked like a young wife being gallantly helpful toward her husband who was ing home.
In fact, everyone would surely think that.
The assistants who were peeping from the inside door that was left open were having really wide grin on their face. How they were all peeking in vertical line like a totem pole was really as expected from Sumire's assistants.
Hajime's face grimaced at the bad omen that felt like he would be teased and he opened his mouth.
「Machi-neesan and everyone, what are you grinning at?」
「We are shoujo mangaka's assistant you know? There is no way we won't grin after seeing that kind of scene!」
「A real harem man, just seeing it still make my heart beat fast. What's more it's a boy I'm acquainted with.」
「Ha-kun, you aren't going to give going home kiss at Lily-chan!?」
From above, the most veteran assistant Hagiwara Machiko (45 years old), the assistant who even though she was planning a shoujo manga but for some reason it became fighting manga at the middle and until now she still hadn't gotten lucky with serialization Wakai Tsukasa (24 years old ♀), half-Japanese who had American mother got attracted by Japanese manga and left the university aiming to bee mangaka Rurikawa Anna (25 years old).
Other than them, there was also an assistant who was acknowledged by herself and others as homo ic lover, and each time she met Hajime her gaze would stickily crawled all over Hajime, Aoyama Narumi (42 years old), and the assistant who was managing maid café as side job (?) and would do her assistant work wearing maid uniform, Mochizuki Mae (29 years old), and so on.
Also, Sumire's pen name was "Nano SumireSumire of South
