-

16th Day of the Wind month. Half a month has already passed in the Wind month, and the incoming month, the Light month, is about to come.

Well, to be honest, it was partly because the past few months have been unusually dense, and I even thought of “Eh Six months havent even passed yet!”……

I think I have felt lots of changes in me come in less than 5 months. Im not only looking forward to the future now, but recently, I felt like Ive also been able to adapt to the common sense of this world recently.

As expected, that would most probably be because Ive already settled my emotions…… and that Ive made a clear decision about what Im going to do in the future, and I guess you can say that Ive broken through an emotional barrier.

Well, Ive certainly gone through a lot of changes since I came to this world, but it isnt just me, as the people around me have changed a lot too.

But well, there are things that dont change even if I try to change them……

[……Hahhh……]

Its midnight and the date is about to change. I let out a sigh as I stood in front of one of the rooms.

There was a faint light leaking out from underneath the door in front of my gaze, proving that someone was in this room.

If this was someones private room, I would have thought that they were just staying up late but…… The door that is currently in front of me is the door to the office…… In short, a room where you do work.

And the fact that this room has been in use for the longest time in the mansion is, needless to say, a well-known fact…… Well, it might be obvious already, but the one inside is Lilia-san.

Seriously…… Isnt she working a little too hard The other day, when we went on a trip together, we talked about how the both of us shouldnt push ourselves too hard…… Only a few days passed and shes already like this.

I dont know if I should say that its just like Lilia-san or not, but seriously, I think her personality of being too serious is a problem.

Letting out a sigh in front of the door again, I walked away from the place and started walking in the “opposite direction of my room”.

A little after the date changed to the 17th day of the Wind month, I knocked on the door of Lilia-sans office.

[……Yes Come in.]

[Excuse me.]

[Eh Kaito-san]

Probably because she didnt expect that there would be someone knocking on the door this late, a voice filled with curiosity called out from behind the door.

After receiving Lilia-sans permission to enter, I opened the door and walked in. It seems that Lilia-san didnt think it was me, as her eyes opened wide and a surprised expression appeared on her face.

[……Whats the matter Youre up at this hour.]

[No, thats more of my line here……]

[A- Ahaha……]

Muttering in response to Lilia-san, who curiously tilted her head as she turned her reproaching eyes at me, Lilia-san wryly smiles with the expression of a child whose prank has been discovered.

While letting out a sigh looking at such a Lilia-san, I take out the things Ive prepared in the dining room earlier from my magic box.

[……Heres something to refresh yourself . Please take a break for a moment.]

[Eh T- Thank you.]

[Sieg-san has taught me a few things but…… please pardon me if it tastes comparably crude.]

Ive brought tea and cookies…… Well, I made the tea, but the cookies are bought from the bakery. Its impossible for me to bake cookies in a short time, so I prepared the ones I have in my magic box.

Lilia-san seems to be a bit apologetic as she looks at the tea and cookies Ive prepared, and obediently following what I said, she stops processing her paperwork and took a break.

By the way, Ive prepared a warm cup of tea and cookies for her…… Its because I wanted to make her feel sleepy and get rested already but…… Well, Im not really certain if she would feel sleepy after she fills up her belly, so I could only hope that it happens.

[……Its very warm and delicious. Thank you.]

[Thats good to hear…… By the way, Lilia-san]

[Yes]

Looking at Lilia-san, who was smiling with relief after drinking tea, I decided to cut to the chase.

[If I remember correctly…… We talked about how the both of us will refrain from pushing ourselves too hard, right]

[Ahh. errr…… This is, ummm……]

[Lilia-san, please dont look away.]

[N- No, I have some business that I really need to deal with as soon as possible……]

Hearing my words, Lilia-san, who clearly looked flustered turned away her gaze…… That gesture of hers looks very cute, but now, theres an oni appearing within my heart as I continue speaking.

[Heehhh……. That must be quite the urgent business huh]

[Y- Yes, thats right. Well, so, you just happened to see me when……]

[Lunamaria-san told me that most of the work that Lilia-san is doing today is “work that Lilia-san didnt originally have to do” though……]

[…………………..]

It may be that Lilia-san thought she was able to deceive me, but unfortunately, I know that she worked until about the same time yesterday and the day before that. Ive also received word from Lunamaria-san that the workaholic Lilia-san is going as far as do the work that would normally be best left to her subordinates.

Hearing my words, Lilia-san begins to sweat profusely, and her gaze restlessly move about, as if she was desperately trying to think of an excuse.

[……Lilia-san]

[Hyiiiihhhh!]

[Is there something you want to say]

[i- Im sorry……]

Seeing Lilia-san bow her head, a loud sigh comes out of my mouth again.

Seriously, I dont if I should say that shes too serious or not, and its troubling me as even though she had the habit of giving her subordinates plenty of time off and breaks, she doesnt try to take a break at all.

Well, thats just the way Lilia-san is…… Fate-san, how about you try following Lilia-sans footsteps for a bit

[……Haahhh…… Cant you lower your workload for a bit]

[……Uuuuhh… Yes.]

[……Is there anything I can help with]

[Eh]

At any rate, this personality of Lilia-san already feels like a disease. Even after she left them for a while, shell probably start working late again…… At the times when Lunamaria-san isnt around, Ill check out on her from time to time.

Anyway, regarding what she was working at tonight, as far as I can see, theres still quite a lot left to do on her desk. I dont think I can be of much help, but I still want to help her out with some things.

[Please dont hesitate and speak. Well, I may only end up being a hindrance but…… I cant just leave my important lover as shes pushing herself, so please let me help you in any way I can.]

[……Ah, y- yes…… then, ummm…… can I ask you one thing]

[Yes, anything you say.]

Hearing my serious words, Lilia-san looks half apologetic and half happy, and as she slightly looks down, she murmurs.

When she confirmed that I nodded at her words, while shes making a gesture where both of her index fingers were poking at each other, Lilia-san spoke with a blush on her cheeks.

[……You dont have to do anything in particular…… I- Its just, errr…… C- Can you please stay by my side]

[Ehh]

[I- If you do that, errr…… I feel like I will be cheered up……]

[……Yes, understood. Ill stay with you as much as you like.]

Its a very cute and innocent request…… So cute that I almost reflexively hugged Lilia-san, but I could see that work wouldnt progress that way at all, and at worst, Lilia-san might pass out, so I firmly held back.

Then, before she finished her tea and returned to work, Lilia-san prepared a chair for me…… And sitting down in the chair provided next to Lilia-san, who had started working already, I look at the serious expression on her face as she goes over her paperwork.

Lilia-san goes on with her paperwork in silence, while occasionally glancing back at me with a smile on her face.

As I continued to stare at Lilia-san work for a while, I suddenly felt a soft touch on my hand that had been resting on my lap, and when I looked down…… I saw Lilia-sans hand, the one that isnt holding her pen, was piled up over my hand.

[……Kaito-san.]

[Yes]

[……Ummm, thank you.]

[No.]

[……Errr, also…… Will you take a trip with me again sometime]

[Yes. Anytime.]

[……Kaito-san.]

[Yes]

[……I love you.]

[I love you too.]

Dear Mom, Dad——– Lilia-san is a very serious and hardworking person, and she doesnt take a break at all. Even though there are some troubling aspects of her…… Shes shy and cute, and even her little gestures are overflowing with charm, and thats why I think——– That theres something cute about her that I just cant leave alone.

I like this unique bittersweet feeling of distance between the two of them.

And thus, thats the end of Lilias arc. Well, I guess its still going to take a while for it to develop into a kiss, but just because they held hands, you could say that its progress.-
