When I arrived at giddo-san's castle, where I was supposed to et Ozma-san, he was already at the entrance. Although there were still over 15 minutes until our appointnt, it seed he had been waiting while smoking a cigarette.
[Ya, Miyama-kun, welco.]
[Hello, Ozma-san. I'm sorry for making you wait.]
[No, no, Uncle just arrived here early, so you don't need to worry. Well, let's not stand here chatting. How about we move and chat?]
[Ah, yes….. Is it okay not to greet giddo-san before we head out?]
I asked Ozma-san as he imdiately started to move. Technically, we were just using giddo-san’s castle as the eting place, and we didn’t have an appointnt with her specifically.
However, I felt it might be rude not to greet her since we were at her castle, so I inquired, to which Ozma-san responded with a light smile.
[Yeah, Master is out today and isn't ho, so no need to worry about that. She was apparently quite moved by an artwork displayed at the ship party before, so she might be making sculptures or sothing by now.]
[Ahh~~ Now that you ntion it, I did see her in the Art Plaza in the Northern District of Symphonia before.]
[Symphonia's Art Plaza certainly is quite famous. There’s a similar place in the Hydra Kingdom, which is also popular among young artists, though it’s not in the Capital but in another city.]
Hydra Kingdom has a penchant for progressive things, and their artwork tends to be quite daring. It’s almost like avant-garde art, which I didn’t fully understand but seed close to contemporary art.
Anyway, since giddo-san wasn’t present, heading straight to Ozma-san’s ho seed fine.
[Is Ozma-san’s house close from here?]
[Ahh, errr…… Can you see that small hill over there?]
[Ah, yes…… Is it located over there?]
[Unn. To put it simply, that hill is land owned by , and my house is located there.]
[I see……]
So the whole hill is like Ozma-san's garden…… That's aweso. But well, considering Ozma-san’s status as a top-class figure in the Demon Realm, being one of the Six Kings' Executives and a Duke-rank, it’s not surprising that he owns that much land. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if he owned a mountain.
[Still, it’s a bit surprising. I thought you lived in giddo-san’s castle.]
[Agni-chan and Bacchus-kun live in the castle. But I prefer a quiet place when I want to relax…… Plus, if you live in the castle, saying things like "Co drink with ", Master would regularly gather everyone and hold a party.]
[That does sound like giddo-san.]
[By the way, speaking of Master, she seems to like Miyama-kun even more than before recently. So much so that she talks about you all the ti. I an, she even said sothing about liking you in a romantic sense……. Umm, are you okay with that? I’m not sure if I can stop her, but if you’re troubled by her actions, feel free to consult .]
[Ah, no, I'm totally fine…… Rather than that, I thought Ozma-san liked giddo-san……]
Since the incident with giddo-san's destructive impulses, I knew she had grown even fonder of than before…… I an, she openly declared it herself. Well, I’m a bit relieved that she’s stopped her initially intense and aggressive approach after apparently getting a scolding from Kuro.
That said, I had thought that since Ozma-san had long known giddo-san’s true form, he might have feelings for giddo-san…… but upon hearing my words, Ozma-san looked as if I just suddenly asked about the universe.
[……Eh? Do you an romantically?]
[Yes.]
[……You sure say sothing so terrifying, Miyama-kun. No, "I" have sworn firm loyalty to giddo-sama as my King…… but thinking about having a romantic relationship with a tyrant like that, that's just frightening.]
Ozma-san really seed genuinely horrified. His use of "I" (Ore) instead of "this old man" (Oji-san) made it feel like he was being completely honest.
[……If I were to have a romantic relationship with soone, I would definitely want soone calm and gentle. You see, giddo-sama is quite overbearing, right? Being in a relationship with soone like that is definitely quite the hassle…… Rather, are you sure you're going to be alright, Miyama-sama? giddo-sama really seems to like you, and she won’t stop easily.]
[……Ah, well, about that…… I an, among those I know, giddo-san technically isn’t counted among those I consider as soone I can’t properly talk with…… I have acquaintances who are much worse, so forcefulness on giddo-san’s level isn’t really a problem for .]
[……You’ve really grown, Miyama-kun. Honestly, I don’t feel like I can match up to you in that regard.]
Ozma-san spoke with a sense of deep admiration, and I responded with a wry smile.
Makina : [Ah, how sad. To think that there were troubleso people who could make my sweet beloved child say sothing like this…… I'd like to see the faces of those fools at least once.]
Serious-senpai : [……Don't you have a mirror?]
