Chapter 135: 135

As soon as I walked out of the gate, I used my Teleportation Magic Tool .

Up to this point, I came back with Lillywood-san’s continuation of her guide to the Demon Realm, but since there’s nothing particularly new for me to see on the road to the gate of the Human Realm, I decided that I would just teleport .

In an instant, the landscape around me was distorted, and I could already see Lilia-san’s mansion in front of me .

Hmmm, it’s quite convenient but…… I still feel a little sick after using it . I had no problems when I used that gate connecting the Human Realm and the Demon Realm but…… Does the magic power used have some relation to that?

Anyway, I returned to Lilia-san’s mansion safely .

When I moved to that room to tell Lilia-san that I was back, Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san were inside and greeted me with a gentle smile .

[Welcome back, Kaito-san . How was the Demon Realm?]

[I have returned . Yes, it’s such a beautiful, vast place, and I enjoyed just looking at the scenery . ]

[Is that so, that’s good to hear…… By the way, there’s something I’d like to ask you……]

[Yeah?]

Lilia-san nodded with a gentle smile on her face, but for some reason, her expression changed to a serious one .

As I tilted my head at this situation, Lilia-san slowly folded her hands in front of her face before she spoke .

[I- I know that it might be impossible but…… You’re not going to tell me that you actually met with Dragon King-sama, right?]

[……I’m sorry . We met . ]

[………… . . ]

[My Lady!?]

When I honestly answered the question Lilia-san asked me with a pale expression on her face…… Lilia-san slammed her face on her desk .

[……Why…… is this person…… always meeting one of the Six Kings everytime you go out……]

[My Lady, please keep yourself composed, they may have just met and no real connections have been done yet!]

[T- Thank you, Luna…… Kaito-san, ummm, errr…… Please don’t tell me that you actually got along with him or anything like that, right……]

[………………]

[Kaito-san…… Why are you looking away?]

Her hands trembling with a pale expression on her face, Lilia-san…… looks really scary .

However, it isn’t like I can just not tell her…… If I were to tell her about this later, she will definitely strangle me again……

Thinking about that, without a second thought, I took out the scale Magnawell-san gave me from inside my Magic Box .

[……He gave me his scale . ]

[…………… . ]

All expressions disappeared from Lilia-san’s face .

The air was so frightening that I couldn’t help but straighten up…… but just like a puppet who lost its strings, Lilia-san’s body collapsed .

[……Kyyuuuu~~]

[My Lady!?]

The scale of over 5 meters long that I took out seemed to have exceeded Lilia-san’s tolerance limit in an instant, and as her eyes upturned, she fell down on her desk .

Yep, it feels like another preaching is confirmed to arrive later…… However, I don’t think this whole situation was caused by me, and I think it was the Phantasmal King’s fault though……

After a while, Lilia-san’s consciousness returned . She scurries to the corner of the room though, and holds her knees on her embrace .

[……Seriously…… Kaito-san, you’re strange…… you’re abnormal…… Why is it that…… this only happened while I’m the one looking after the otherworlders……]

[My Lady…… you poor thing……]

[Why are you laughing there!?]

Lunamaria-san was still the same, smiling at the depressed Lilia-san, and was instantly scolded .

However, what should I do…… It might be bad for Lilia-san’s heart and I’m really apologetic for her but……

[U- Ummm, Lilia-san?]

Visit lightnovelworld . com for a better experience

[Yes?]

[……Errr, I’ve got something for you from Isis-san……]

[………………]

Hearing the words I timidly said, Lilia-san looks like she was about to start crying…… No, there are already tears in her eyes .

Even though I’m feeling uncomfortable since it feels like I’m bullying her, I place the jewelry that Isis-san told me to give to Lilia-san on her desk .

[……W- W- W- What…… i- is this……]

[These are the things Isis-san wanted me to give you, they’re blue diamonds and ice crystals . ]

[That’s a tremendous amount . Moreover, all of them have a wonderful depth of color, My Lady…… Wouldn’t this be equivalent to a tremendous amount of money?]

[…… No…… more……]

Looking at the beautiful blue jewels piled up like a mountain, Lilia-san holds her head in her hands and hides her face under her knees .

Thereupon, after trembling for a while, she vigorously looks up and……

[NO MOOOOORRREEEEEEE! KAITO-SAN, YOU IDIIIOOOOOTTTTT!!!]

……started crying .

[WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO WITH THIS AMOUNT OF JEWELRY!?]

[Gueehhhh!? Li- Lilia-san, p- please calm down……]

[WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS DOING THINGS THAT WOULD HURT MY STOMACH!!!? GEEZ, JUST OPEN UP A HOLE IN MY STOMACH, WILL YOU!!!?]

[It huhts, Li- Lilia-san…… I give up, so phease rehease me……]

Grabbing my collar, she began to violently rock my body back and forth in the air .

However, Lilia-san looks like she really had enough, looking really pitiful with tears streaming down her face, so I can’t strongly go against her .

How should I say this…… I’m really sorry, Lilia-san .

[My Lady, there’s something I’d like to ask before you make Miyama-sama faint……]

[WHAT IS IT, LUNA!? I’M BUSY RIGHT NOW……]

[No, it’s just that there’s something bothering me for a long time…… My Lady, you used to turn bright red right away when you touch a man who wasn’t part of the family…… but you’re fine with Miyama-sama?]

[……Ehh?]

Hearing the words Lunamaria-san told her so matter-of-factly, the strength in Lilia-san’s grip on my collar weakens, and my body falls down to the ground .

Released from the agony of feeling like I’m about to lose my breath, I loudly breathed out and turned my gaze towards Lilia-san…… whose face had turned bright red like a boiled octopus .

[……Eh? Was I just touching Kaito-san?]

[Now, or rather, you’ve already been close to him a few times already . Your faces was so close that they were almost one breath away from each other .

[Ehh? Awa— awawa—That is because, ummm, my head was filled with lots of things, so I wasn’t aware of it— awawawawa . ]

With a face so red that it looks like smoke is about to come out of her ears, Lilia-san flusteredly muttered, her eyes circling around the room .

I wonder why, but it’s just that based on the experience I had until now…… She will probably faint sooner or later .

[I- I- I…… to- to- touched Kaito-san…… Kyuuu~~]

[Lilia-san!?]

As I thought, Lilia-san’s eyes upturned, and she collapsed on the ground .

Hurriedly running over to her, I checked whether she’s injured or not for the time being before I turned to Lunamaria-san .

[……Lunamaria-san . What’s going on here?]

[Probably because she’s raised in an all-female environment…… She’s not immune to men at all, so just shaking their hands is enough to make her turn bright red . However, I was wondering why she didn’t seem to be turning bright red even as she touched Miyama-sama all these times…… I see, she was simply too preoccupied with other things to be aware of it until now huh……]

[……You mean, just like what happened earlier?]

[Perhaps, my remark reminded her of all the times she has ever touched Miyama-sama, and the embarrassment overwhelmed her…… What a pity . ]

[……You did it on purpose, didn’t you?]

Visit lightnovelworld . com for a better experience

[……No way……]

Now that she mentioned it, thinking back, Lilia-san indeed only touches me when she’s basically confused…… She would never touch me unless she’s one step away from passing out .

I never really questioned it since she’s a woman of marriageable age but…… I see, it isn’t that she’s being reserved, but she was completely vulnerable to men .

Dear Mom, Dad—— I’m really sorry for the trouble I’ve been causing Lillia-san . But this time, the cause of her fainting was different from usual—— It was out of embarrassment .

In the evening light, a figure dressed in black appears in a certain miscellaneous goods store .

The person takes one of the daggers hanging on the wall of the miscellaneous goods store, wraps a black cloth around it and then, places it on the counter .

[……A commission huh?]

It’s the hidden face of this miscellaneous goods store’s owner…… A sign of a commission for an underworld worker .

The shopkeeper clad in a stuffed costume looks at the figure clad in black before asking in a cold voice .

[……I would like you to abduct a certain person . ]

Visit lightnovelworld . com for a better experience

[……Not kill, but abduct huh……]

[Yeah, he’s someone whose existence itself has worth . ]

[Well, I suppose that depends on who it is and how much you’re paying . ]

Following the stuffed costume-wearing shopkeeper…… Alice’s words, the black-clad figure took out a paper with his target’s physiognomy and white gold coins from his pocket, placing it on the counter .

(T/N: It’s those papers with a face drawn and a description written on it . I think . )

[10 white gold coins as an advance payment…… 30 white gold coins for your success . ]

[That’s quite the tasty treat…… So, this person…… is someone I’ve seen first huh?]

[He’s not a being from this world . He’s a human from another world…… The name is “Miyama Kaito”……]

[Heeehhh~~ An otherworlder huh…… I see . ]

To the words told by the black-clad figure, Alice replies to him indifferently, without getting shaken at all .

Thereupon, after looking at the physiognomy for a while, she picks up the white gold coins .

[……I will accept it . When’s the deadline?]

[The sooner you can, the better…… I need you to bring him to the place stated in there . ]

[So, I’m not handing it over to you, but bring him here? Am I going to deal with a pretty dangerous person here?]

[……Here’s the information about him .

Saying that, Alice flips through the proffered bundle of papers, and without seeming to be bothered at all, she spoke .

[……Well, I don’t see any problem . Then, it’ll be in a few days later……]

[I’m counting on you . ]

Hearing Alice’s words as she tells him that she’ll accept the request, the black-clad figure turns away, as if to say he has nothing more to say, leaving only those few words .

After seeing the figure off, Alice looks at the paper with Kaito’s face drawn on it and mutters to no one .

[……Well, this is one of the paths fate leads us huh…… What a shame . I like Kaito-san quite a bit but……]

The eyes of the masked girl in the stuffed costume, illuminated by the light shining through the window were…… as cold as ice .

Serious-senpai: “I have come to chew gum and spread seriousness…… and I’m all out of gum . ”

The Underworld King began shadowing .

The Death King began to warm up .

The God of Creation began to monitor .

Serious-senpai: “……Oh, I still have gum here . ”

Well, it might be a bit preemptive to say this, but it’s the start of Alice’s capture .

T/N: The author didn’t specify who is capturing who, just saying .
