Two days passed since we decided that we’re going to participate in the Sacred Tree Festival, and it is now the 18th day of the month of Fire.
Lunamaria will look into the exact date of the Sacred Tree Festival and she said that she would prepare the things that need to be done like preparing a flying dragon for us to ride on, so all we have to do now is wait.
As a side note, thanks to the book that Kuro wrote before, Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san are now able to use their magic power successfully.
I’m told that they’re going to start practicing the actual activation of magic today but…… since they’re like who ca from another world, I wonder if they would also be able to use an unusual kind of magic?
Walking down the corridor while thinking about this until I reach the dining room, I woke up early today and thought there would be no one in the dining room, but when I entered, I saw the figure of soone inside the dining room, I reflexively bowed my head.
[Good morning.]
[Umu, you’re quite early. That’s a good attitude to keep, Miyama. Humans only have a finite amount of ti, so try not to waste it.]
[………………]
I shut the door in silence.
That’s strange…… I sohow have a feeling that there’s soone here that shouldn’t have been here. Did I open up the wrong door? That must be it…… Alright, let’s try again with more gusto!
[……What the heck are you doing?]
[That’s supposed to be my line instead…… Why are you here, “Chronois-san”……]
Yes, in front of the table in the dining room, there sits a Supre God who was supposed to rarely visit the Human Realm except at the Festival of Heroes…… the Goddess of Ti, Chronois, and she was drinking tea there like it was normal.
On a side note, regarding the way I call her, it’s just that I’ve been calling the God of Creation, Shiro-san, by her na in our previous conversation, and so, she strongly said that she won’t allow to call her with a “-sama” attached to her na, so I ended up calling her by her na, Chronois-san.
[? I am here at Lilia’s request. I told her before to call if trouble occurred…… Well, I didn’t expect it to happen this quickly nor did I think it was because of the worst-case possible……]
[No way, did sothing happen!?]
[…………….]
[Eh? Ummm…… Chronois-san?]
Hearing Chronois-san speaking like an ergency happened, I hurriedly asked since I thought it would be sothing that would require the presence of Chronois-san, a Supre God but…… Chronois-san made an expression like she was really dumbfounded, and as her red and blue heterochromatic eyes turned towards , she let out a sigh.
[Well, I guess I can understand the troubles that Lilia is going through with this guy. I ca here because of that situation that you went into, you….. I heard that you beca acquainted with the Death King?]
[Eh? Ah, yes. Isis and I beca friends two days ago.]
[That power of yours that blesses you with connections may as well be a curse huh. What has happened that you have found the Death King in such a short period of ti……]
[N- No, it’s really just a coincidence that I t Isis-san……]
[I know that. Still, it’s quite unusual for soone to get to know two of the Six Kings in less than twenty days…… especially the Death King… It’s not that the Underworld King dragged you and introduced you to her, right?]
[……Yeah, well.]
That’s a sound argunt I can’t refute at all.
Indeed, carefully thinking about it, the people I’ve known since I’ve co to this world are truly so of the most powerful people in this world, and so of them hold the highest position in status…… You could describe it as fortunate in so cases, but you could also describe it as unfortunate. I could understand the feeling of why soone would describe it as a curse.
However, let say one more thing—– aren’t you also included among that group of outrageous people I’ve t?
[Moreover, to have been acquainted with the Death King of all people you could et…… If it was soone like the World King, she would have been soone easy to talk to……]
[Is Isis-san really that feared by everyone?]
[That one is pure, in both good and bad ways. That’s also why she’s so much worse than the other mbers of the Six Kings. There are many occasions when she doesn’t make sense.]
[…………………..]
Hearing Chronois-san’s words makes feel a little complicated.
I know that I haven’t exchanged that many words with Isis-san yet, but I think I know that she’s not a bad person.
Isis-san seed really happy when she was talking to …… That would an that she was probably lonely all the ti, and that’s how I feel from the emotions I could read with my Sympathy Magic.
Feared as a monster by both the Demon Realm and the Human Realm because of the magic power of death she was clad in, and being constantly exposed to the gazes of fear, I can’t even imagine what it felt like being in her situation.
That’s why I couldn’t agree with Chronois-san’s comnt about Isis being bad, so I just replied with silence.
Thereupon, Chronois-san nodded once with a sowhat impressed look on her face, and right at that mont, sothing that looked like a blue bird appeared before .
[……Eh?]
[……A hummingbird…… Good grief, speak of the devil and she appears huh.]
[Errr, what’s this?]
[Just think of it as a convenient way of communicating through long distances using magic, just like a short letter delivered by ssenger birds. Touch it, and her ssage should appear.
As I’m surprised by the sudden appearance of the blue bird, Chronois-san gives a brief explanation about it.
Huh? Hummingbird…… Where have I heard that before? Didn’t Kuro ntion that before?
As I tilt my head, trying to recall where I’ve heard those familiar terms, the blue bird disappears as I touch it and glows in a bluish-white light in the air before disappearing.
“……Today…… Afternoon…… I’m coming…… to et you.”
That’s freaking scary!!! Did she just send a cursed letter!?
A- Anyway, it seems like this ssage ca from Isis-san, and it looks like she’s coming to visit today.
Chronois-san looked at the ssage and muttered “I guess it’s a good decision for to co huh.” before she stood up from her seat and left the dining room, heading towards Lilia-san’s room.
It’s currently past noon, and , Lilia-san, Lunamaria-san, and Chronois-san gathered at the entrance of the mansion to welco Isis-san’s arrival.
It’s clearly different from when we welcod Kuro, we were now greeting her with just a few amount of people instead of that ti where there were lots of people who welcod Kuro as, under Chronois-san’s direction, the feeble-minded and those with little magic power were ordered to stay in their room, which also includes Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san.
I don’t know if it’s because Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san are very anxious, as they are both repeatedly correcting their posture with a pale expression on their faces while waiting for Isis-san’s visit any monts now.
[……You don’t have to worry, Lilia. You just have to follow my lead.]
[C- Chronois-sama……]
Chronois-san calms Lilia-san with lines that only ikens would say, and Lilia-san looks at Chronois-san with eyes that look like she’s relying on her.
It appears that Lilia-san and Chronois-san have so kind of mutual understanding in that talks they had before…… I don’t know if it’s because they’re sympathizing with each other about being troubled with the higher-ups, but it seems like Lilia-san relies on Chronois-san very much.
As we wait within that tense atmosphere, a bluish-white light appears around the gate, and behind that light, Isis-san appears.
Dressed in the sa gothic-lolita style dress she had before, she began floating her way in slowly approaching my way.
I don’t know if it’s because my body had already gotten used to her magic power of death since that ti I t her, I’m not feeling the sa way I did but…… Looking at Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san who were repeatedly trembling, it seems that her magic power of death manages to reach where we stand even within the distance between us.
And just like the iken she is, Chronois-san naturally moves Lilia-san behind her, protecting her from Isis-san’s magic power of death.
When Isis-san notices , she has a happy expression on her face as she speeds up a bit to get in front of .
[……Kaito…… Good afternoon…… I’m sorry…… for the sudden visit…… I’m not a bother, am I?]
[Good afternoon…… It’s not like you’re a bother or anything like that. It’s good to see you again, Isis-san.]
[……Ahh…… Unnn.]
Isis-san timidly asked , so I returned her greeting with a smile on my face.
Thereupon, Isis-san smiled like a blooming flower and happily nodded her head……. As I thought, I really can’t imagine her as a person that’s hard to please.
[It’s been a while, Death King.]
[……Chronois? …… What are you…… doing here?]
[I know the hoowner of this place…… At any rate, it seems that you have visited at quite the reasonable ti.]
[……Lillywood said…… it would be rude to visit around noon…… and I should wait until afterwards.]
[I see, it’s the World King’s advice huh…… I guess that’s to be expected from the so-called Conscience of the Six Kings.]
To Chronois, who vigilantly speaks to her, Isis replies without seemingly bothered by her.
[Anyway, why have you co here today?]
[……I’ve co…… to visit Kaito…… Ah, Kaito…… Here…… I’ve brought so souvenirs.]
[Eh? Thank you very much. I’m sorry for the trouble.]
Isis-san announced as if she suddenly rembered it, and held out a basket of so kind of fruits, and as I’m wondering if I should accept it while disregarding the hoowner, Lilia-san but…… since she currently looks pale while trembling behind the Chronois-san, I decided to accept it and convey my thanks.
Thereupon, Isis-san happily smiles again and as her cheeks were slightly read, she spoke.
[……If you’re happy with that…… I’m also…… happy.]
[……Who the heck is this woman?]
Looking at Isis-san, who was fidgeting as she adorably poked her fingers together and shyly smiling, for so reason, Chronois-san had a dumbfounded expression on her face.
Dear Mom, Dad—— Chronois-san appeared, and then Isis-san appeared, and how should I say this—– I guess it’s going to be another rowdy day.
