--Turn back the clock a little bit.
Welcome, my dear. I am the Witch of the Tower.
A girl with a robe over her head and her face hidden was waiting in the audience room.
Although her face was hidden, her large breasts peeked out, she had a good style, and her resonant voice was beautiful.
(Considering that she has beautiful maids like fairies at her side, the "Witch of the Giant Tower" must be a very beautiful woman. ......), the first prince Claw muttered in his heart.
Thank you for inviting me. My name is First Prince Claw of the Kingdom of Humans.
Likewise, I am the First Princess Lilith.
After the three of them finished greeting each other without incident, the meeting began in the audience room.
The content of the meeting itself was bland.
Ellie explained the treatment of humans in the "Tower of the Giants," the detailed contents and intentions of the "absolute independence of race (humans)," the position of the "Tower of the Giants," their insights, and future direction.
Clough and Lilith basically took the role of listeners, and the meeting was held peacefully on the sofa across the table.
After the meeting ended without incident, the first princes were escorted to the residential area where they would be staying.
The first prince and his family were asked to return to the residence where they would be staying. You must be tired from the trip, so please take care of yourself first.
I appreciate your thoughtfulness, Witch of the Gigantic Tower.
I'll see you at dinner.
Clough replies with a smile, but in his heart, he tweaks, 'I'm not tired or anything using items for long distance, but .......'
The reason he doesn't say it out loud is that he is afraid that he can't see the bottom of the 'Witch of the Giant Tower' even if he exchanges words with her.
When we left the audience room, the fairy maids and the guards & followers of the claws who were already waiting for us were waiting for us.
We followed the fairy maids down to the second floor.
The second floor had been remodeled just like the third floor.
The entire second floor was used as guest rooms, and rooms were assigned to Claus, Lilith, her guards, and her retinue.
The room to which we were shown had already been filled with luggage brought in from the human kingdom.
The room Lilith was shown was obviously more luxurious than her own room in her own country.
The only thing that made her feel a little uncomfortable was the lack of a window, but she did not mind because of the furnishings, artwork, and fruits she had never seen or eaten before.
With the help of Nono, the head maid, I changed from my outdoor dress to indoor clothes.
I have some time before dinner, so I feel tired to keep wearing the dress for outside. Of course, she will have to wear a different dress to dinner.
I ask, "...... Princess, what did the 'Witch of the Gigantic Tower' look like?"
She was intelligent, knowledgeable, and very elegant, although I couldn't tell because she was hiding her face with her robe. Above all, she is a real powerhouse, using 'long-range items' just to get around, and she has dragons! We need to talk to him and ask him to help the Human Kingdom at any cost. For that, we have to do something about your brother. ......"
I change into my loungewear and sit in front of the mirror to have my hair brushed.
Nono receives a comb from Yume, the apprentice maid, and goes behind Lilith.
Nono and Lillith walk behind Lillith, "Is something wrong?"
...... No, not particularly. I was just tired from the many shocking events and fell asleep for a moment when I sat down on the waiting room couch.
Nono, the head maid, and her friends witnessed the emotional reunion of Light and Yume in the waiting room and were put to sleep by "SR, Sleep.
However, the memory was altered by "SR, Hypnosis" to "I fell asleep for a moment," as Nono said.
Lilith let out a faint giggle at this statement.
It's so unusual," she said. Nono dozing off. Is there anything else?"
...... else?"
Nono ponders.
Lilith looks at Yume through the mirror and asks her.
Yume responds with an innocent smile.
The sweets on the table were delicious! The tea was a little bitter, so I added a lot of sugar and milk.
Yume is still not sure how good the tea is. "Hmmm...you still don't know how good tea is, Yume," he said. But the tea served at the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" had a more distinct flavor and aroma than any other high quality tea leaves. Where did she get it? I'd love to know the brand, as it's my personal favorite."
...... princess, you can't have anything too expensive."
I know what I'm talking about. If I had that kind of money, I would rather buy a piece of candy for the poor or for the children in the orphanage.
As expected of the Princess!
Yume lifts Lilith with a smiling face.
Lilith, the master, Nono, the educator - the other maids, and the female knights escorting her did not feel at all uncomfortable with Yume.
She is already an impostor who has been replaced by "UR, the second shadow," but no one feels any different.
Her words, actions, habits, memories, and even her gifts can be copied.
Even if one makes full use of magic items and appraisal, it is difficult to distinguish them from imposters.
However, there is no weakness.
Gifts deteriorate, and magic items worn by the wearer cannot be duplicated. If a person is killed, he or she will disappear, so it is easy to tell that he or she is an impostor. Furthermore, there are restrictions such as the fact that the person must actually use the "Infinite Gacha" card of his or her own volition in order for it to be copied.
There is no such thing as a perfect magic item.
After brushing my hair, I sit down on the sofa and have a cup of tea made.
Lilith relaxes and talks about the future.
There is still time before dinner. I have to somehow outwit my brother and get him to agree to cooperate with the Human Kingdom. Nono, we'll have a meeting for that."
"...... Roger that. Yume, you will go back to the other room until I call to you."
Yes, ma'am! Now if you'll excuse me."
Yume (imposter) bows and leaves the bedroom and moves to the adjacent living room.
Lilith and Nono, who remained in the guest bedroom, had a meeting to discuss future developments until supper.
--It is impossible to expect the girls, who are mere humans, to predict that this meeting will be meaningless.

After dinner and chit-chat, Lilith ducks into the guest room bed.
As she lounged in bed, she thought about dinner.
The "Witch of the Giant Tower" was also present at the dinner, which was a course meal, and her table manners were even more refined than those of the royalty themselves.
Most surprising of all was the deliciousness of the meal.
(The vegetables had no bitterness at all, and even the seafood and meat were slightly sweet. Above all, I never thought cheese could turn into such a tasty snack! It was so good that I ate two of them, which was still a shame (......)
One of Lilith's least favorite foods is cheese.
Aside from the texture and taste, the smell was not her favorite, and it was one of the foods she would not like to eat if she could.
However, the dessert "rare cheese cake" served at the end was out of this world. It was so delicious that I could say it was heavenly food.
I ate the first one in an instant and asked for the second one.
Brother Claude was also amazed at the deliciousness of each dish, and his eyes widened when he saw his younger sister having a second helping of the cheese dish, which she did not like.
(What if I am considered "unworthy of a cooperative relationship" because I showed my appearance to the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" (....... My predatory nature will determine the future of the race (humans), etc. ......)
I feel pathetic and depressed just imagining it.
But such feelings did not last long.
"--Good day to you, First Princess Lilith."
What?
Lilith jumps out of bed at the call.
A woman was standing at the end of a lace gap in the canopy bed.
She immediately recognizes the voice.
"...... 'Witch of the Giant Tower'?"
I'm sorry it's so late at night. But I have come to ask Master Lilith to meet my Lord.
