Although things had beco hectic in the beginning, the talks with the Goddess of Ti is once again comnced.
In front of us is a luxurious table made of crystal, and as soon as we are seated at the prompting of the Goddess of Ti, tea is served in front of us.
[Please have so tea, Kaito-sama, Lilia-sama.]
[Thank you very much.]
[Eh? Arehh? T- Thank you very much.]
She works as quickly as always. Putting aside since I’ve already seen her work like that before, but seeing Lilia-san being bewildered as I expected, she looked sowhat amusing. I bet Acht and the others must have had the sa thoughts when they saw reacting like that back when we had barbecue.
[……Oi, you b*tch…… The heck is this……]
As I was thinking about this, the Goddess of Ti raised her voice as if to suppress her anger, and when I looked over at her…… and saw that in front of the Goddess of Ti is a tankard? No, it was a container that had a size that it’s better to call it pitcher instead, and it was filled in white liquid.
It looks like milk from the outside, but putting milk in that large container is really outrageous. In fact, it was completely just harassnt now.
[What is it? Even though I’ve taken the trouble of getting you sothing to drink…… Well, I’m really doubting if that will have any effect on that cliff of yours.]
[……I’m going to crush you, you b*tch.]
[If you could do that, why don’t you try……]
You two are going to start fighting again!? Do you hate each other that much!?
[……………]
[……………]
[Errr, the two of you…… The talks won’t advance, so please leave it at that.]
[……That’s amazing, Kaito-san. How can you cut in between them within an atmosphere like that……?]
I told them to restrain themselves as I didn’t want them to start butting heads again, and it seed like both of them seed to understand as they turned their glares away from each other and took their seats.
On the other hand, Lilia-san is looking at like she’s moved for so reason. I’m worried that this will raise the bars in a strange direction again, but anyway, the talks should advance now……
[You’re right, my bad. Well then, once again, I thank you for accepting my invitation on such short notice and for the trouble I’ve caused you. Lilia Albert, Miyama Kaito.]
[N- No. It’s a great honor for to have this opportunity to speak with the Goddess of Ti.]
[You need not be so stiff. I’m the one who called you out, so you are, in a way, my guests. Make yourself comfortable.]
[Y- Yes!?]
Despite her haughtiness, the Goddess of Ti’s voice has no sharpness in it, and sounds sowhat gentle. However, that’s only when she’s talking to others aside from Ein-san……
In contrast to her, Lilia-san is already so stiff to the point that it was quite clear to see, as her back is stretched out and her shoulders are slightly trembling. It’s similar to when she first t Kuro.
[Well, though I said that, I’ve already solved most of the questions I’ve wanted to ask you lot though.]
[ [ Eh? ] ]
[The reason why I called out to you lot before was, Miyama…… I felt an unordinary pressure from you.]
[A pressure……?]
[Umu. A pressure that shows indications of surpassing mine. As for its identity, I found out when “that” arrived. I see, they’re fragnts of the Underworld King’s magic power huh…… If that’s the case, I can understand why I felt that pressure.]
The reason why the Goddess of Ti was interested in is that she sensed Kuro’s magic power from when we encountered each other before.
However, what did she an when she ntioned that fragnt of Kuro’s magic power. What ca to my mind was that necklace with the magic crystal that Kuro gave before…… but I temporarily left that necklace with Lilia-san, and it wasn’t returned until after Kuro formally visited Lilia-san’s mansion. I at least don’t think I have it in my possession at that point.
[However, that fellow really doesn’t change huh…… I could see that she’s still wandering around the world.]
[Well, that’s just the way Kuromu-sama is.]
[……Fuuu, she didn’t change.]
It seems like they rembered Kuro, who really fits the words “free-spirited”, as not to ntion Lilia-san and I, Ein-san and the Goddess of Ti lightly chuckled, and the air in the place beca a little calr.
The conversation continues, as the Goddess of Ti asked Lilia-san about several things regarding the summoning of the heroes this ti, while discussing with her about how this irregularity occurred.
[As I thought, the reason for this is because a large amount of residual magic has accumulated in the magic circle that has been used for a thousand years, and that’s why it went out of control…… Well, I don’t see any problem. We’ll make the necessary adjustnts as we originally anticipated and repatriation shouldn’t be a problem.]
[So that’s why huh… In that case, that’s a relief.]
I found myself getting lost in their conversation right around the middle, but it seems that Lilia-san and the Goddess of Ti’s conversation has been settled, and both of them seed to have a relieved expression on their faces.
As Lilia-san and the Goddess of Ti continued with their conversation, probably about the small details regarding the arrangents for the future or sothing like that, as I could only hear a conversation between them that’s filled with technical terms flying out one after another, Ein-san occasionally interjects.
And before I knew it, I’m completely left out of the conversation, or rather, I didn’t know what they’re talking about anymore, leaving completely left behind.
The atmosphere around is that, you know, that state where students were excited as they made their group work, while one of them could only just look lonely as he could only look at them. What I’m feeling isn’t just half as lonely as that.
However, even if I tried to participate in their conversation, unfortunately, I can say that it’s impossible for with just the ager things I know. I don’t even know what this magical performance of the magic circle and all these jargon they’re talking about right now.
I’m begging you, can soone please tell what they’re talking about?
(The summoning magic circle were taking in magic power from the air over ti, but since we may need to send ho several people this ti, they would need to replenish the magic power that they would need to use from other ans, and they were concerned about that.)
Ah, I see—- geh, wait, wait…… What is that just now? Why is so voice answering that question I’ve been pondering in my mind?
Don’t tell …… I am that lonely, that I have awakened so kind of new power!?
No but, that voice I just heard sounds very familiar.
(Do people in other worlds awaken their abilities through loneliness?)
If that’s the case, all the loners in the world would have gained supernatural powers.
Anyway, as I thought, that voice really sounds familiar. I an, this unique way of speaking without any intonation…… Could it be, is that you, Shiro-san?
(That’s right.)
Unn, it’s just as I thought huh. Putting that aside, what’s with you talking directly into my mind as if it’s obvious!? Or rather, you can do sothing like that!?
(I can.)
Seriously, you can do anything if you want it huh…… Well, anyway, I can’t really say “it’s been a while”, so I guess it should be “hello”, Shiro-san. Thank you for the very expensive tea you gave before.
(I’m glad to see that you’re doing well too, Kaito-san. I rembered the word “loner” which you taught before when I saw your sorrowful back.)
Why did you have to unnecessarily add in your thoughts!? I an, how co you’re talking with at this ti!?
(No, it’s just that sothing that has been supposed to be their subject that they’re talking about right from the start, and for so reason, before you knew it, you weren’t able to follow what they’re talking about, and since I saw that you were just drinking your tea while giving responses that you “understand” sotis, you look like you got ti to spare, so I thought of telling you a story.)
This absurd Goddess is gouging out a hole in my heart even though we just t again!? I don’t want to hear that kind of objective information……
W- Well, anyway, if Shiro-san can explain it to …… Then, I think I can follow this incomprehensible conversation for a bit—–
(It seems that you’re planning to attend a festival. If we’re talking about a festival around this ti, I guess it would be the festival of the elves huh.)
Unnn. I knew it…… I already knew that Shiro-san was a person who acts as she pleases differently from Kuro, and I would get sick if I keep on talking about things I knew from the past.
I felt like I had already deviated from the supposed conversation by the speed of light, and I’ve already given up following it, so I just continued talking with Shiro-san huh? Let’s just keep on it.
Dear Mom, Dad—– I’m certainly having trouble keeping up with the conversation, but despite that—— Shiro-san was still the sa.
