While looking for Lillywood-san, I looked around the various tables to see if I could et my other acquaintances. Hmmm, I could see a lot of World King’s subordinates and there are a few familiar faces, but almost no one I know by na, and most of them were people I have never spoken to before.
Well, this tea party was basically the closing party of the Harmonic Symphony, so the guests were centered around World King’s subordinates.
And since it’s not a luxurious event, it’s not that people in high positions were invited. Well, as for the Six Kings, there may be people who are too busy to participate…… Well, of course, people in high positions like Sechs-san are invited.
While I was thinking about this, I suddenly noticed an unusual person. She was a woman with short silver hair, a well-shaped face, and although she wasn’t very tall, she had a slender figure that gave her a cool appearance.
She was dressed in a black leather jacket and hot pants, a cool punk-like style…… but what caught my attention more than anything else was the large black wings on her back.
Could she be one of those Winged people? I knew they existed, but this is the first ti I’ve seen them…… Also, why is this person standing upright in a cool pose at a tea party, with her index finger between her eyebrows?
Having this thought in mind, I glanced at the woman who seed to be a Winged, and at that mont, she turned to and our eyes t. For so reason though, an intrepid smile appeared on her lips as she drew closer.
[……I see, you’ve also sensed our fated encounter?]
[Yes?]
[Sotis, people liken it to a shock from being struck by lightning. That’s exactly what I’m feeling right now…… I could feel your heart throbbing from your eyes.]
[………………..]
It seems that she’s suffering from the sa disease that I once suffered from. Looking closely, I can see that she even has a bandage wrapped around her right hand…… Seems like she had been seriously afflicted by this disease.
As I’m feeling incomprehensible feelings, the woman continued to speak as she held out her bandaged right hand.
[Praise the fate for this encounter. My na is “Al”…… Also known as “Black Gale”, possessor of the Brilliant Eye. Can you tell your na too?]
[……Err, I- I’m Miyama Kaito. It’s nice to et you.]
[Whoa there!]
[Eh?]
Even though I was feeling puzzled, I introduced myself and held out my hand to shake her hand…… but for so reason, she pulled her hand away.
[I’m sorry, I was careless. Mighty power is sealed within this right hand of mine. I’d hate for anything to happen to you, so I’ll shake your hand with my left.]
[……Yes.]
Seems like she’s afflicted that bad huh. Why did she ignore her illness until it got this bad…… Also, talking to her makes the skin on my back crawl, or rather, it reminds of my black history in the past.
In contrast to , who was thinking such things, Al-san had a rather satisfied expression on her face. Also, though her speech was theatrical, as she was about 15cm shorter than , about 155 cm tall, she feels a little unbalanced.
[The glittering stars in the skies led our fate to cross paths. It was already inevitable that we would be attracted to each other. Now, let us amuse ourselves with a dance on this stage prepared for us!]
[……Errr……]
The way she phrased things is so strange that my understanding can’t imdiately catch up, but the hand pointing to an empty table nearby ans that her words just now ant…… “Let’s have tea together at the table and deepen our friendship”, right?
When I am silent for a mont, thinking about the aning of her words, Al’s expression suddenly changes to one of anxiety, seemingly thinking that I’m not so eager because of my silence.
[……I- Is that…… no good?]
[……N- No, it’s alright. Well then, let’s chat a bit.]
When I reflexively responded upon seeing Al-san, who looked like she was about to cry, her expression clearly brightened up.
[Well then, let’s adorn the skies for the banquet of the twin stars!]
[……Yes.]
Well, once I agreed to do so, I had no choice but to sit down at the nearby table. Thereupon, Al-san took out her magic box…… and pulled out an “all-black” tea set from it.
[Jet black is good. The darkness, like an abyss that seems to suck you in, is the only thing that gives peace of mind.]
[……I- I see.]
[Of course, your black coat is also very nice.]
……Black coat? A- Ahh, she ant my black hoodie!? Eh? Could it be that Al-san approached because we were wearing the sa black clothes?
As I was feeling bewildered again, Al-san skillfully brewed a cup of tea…… No, it’s black!? Is this coffee? I an, black coffee in a black cup……
[I dedicate this beautiful tea to you.]
[……T- Thank you.]
……This is tea!? Eh? Seriously? I know black tea does exist, but that doesn’t an they’re literally black! Tea as black as this exists? W- Well, it’s another world after all, so it’s no wonder there is literal black tea here……
[A- A black tea, this is quite unusual.]
[Unfortunately, its colors have been dyed by falsehood. Magic has been invoked to temporarily deceive the world, bringing forth the black abyss within these cups.]
[………………..]
In other words, they’re just regular tea whose color was magically changed!?
T- This guy’s outrageous…… Her character is just too deep…… I’m not at all confident that I can keep up with her beyond this point…… Soone…… Help ……
【Al】
She is a Special Individual Winged, and the head of her species. She is also one of the four Humans with the sa level of power as Peerage-holders. She’s afflicted with chuunibyou, and although she doesn’t know why, she felt so kind of spark when she saw Kaito.
She calls herself by the alias “Black Gale”, but “she has never been called by that na”.
Serious-senpai : [……His flag-collection speed sure is fast.]
? ? ? : [Seems like whatever he does, he will always have the ti to deal damage to Lilia’s stomach.]
