1049 - Rose Princess' Visit ⑦

While I was having a good time chatting with Rosemary-san, time passed so quickly that it was about time for Rosemary-san to go home.

Just as Rosemary-san was about to leave, Nebula seemed to have expected that she would be leaving around this time, as she arrived carrying a handbag.

[Milord, I brought the assortment of sugars as souvenirs. Please pass this to Rosemary-san, Milord.]

[Thanks, Nebula…… arehh? What about the other bag?]

Nebula had brought two bags in hand, one of which was a very stylish and eye-catching souvenir bag. Meanwhile, the other bag had a simple design with no patterns on it, and from a glimpse, both contained boxes of about the same size.

Both bags probably contained an assortment of sugar, but why did she bring two of them?

[One of them is for Milord. It seemed like you were interested in the other kinds.]

It’s true that when I heard that there were other kinds, I was curious to see what the other kinds were like, and it seems that Nebula sensed this and took the trouble to prepare an assortment for me as well.

[I see, I certainly wanted them too, but I guess Nebula saw right through that huh?]

[I’m Absolute after all!]

[Ahaha, I see…… Nebula really is amazing. Thanks.]

Gently stroking Nebula’s head, who was cutely puffing out her chest, Nebula happily smiled before handing me the bags and walking back into the house.

""

She must be being mindful of Rosemary-san. It seems that Nebula has a pretty accurate grasp of Rosemary-san’s fear of strangers, as she went through me instead of handing it over to her directly.

[Well then, Rosemary-san, here you go. I really had fun today, thank you.]

[N- No, I’m the one who should thank you. I should’ve visited to express my thanks, and I do feel apologetic that I received a lot more instead but…… I had a lot of fun today too.]

[I’m glad to hear you say that.]

[I- If Kaito-kun is alright with it, come visit me at my place next time. I want you to see the flowers in my home.]

[That sounds like it will be fun. Well then, I’ll come visit when the next opportunity comes.]

[Unnn.]

According to what I heard during today’s chat with her, Rosemary-san’s home is a place near Yggfresis, known as the “Garden of Myriad Flowers”.

However, it seems that the general public is basically not allowed to enter due to the ward around it, and it’s just famous as a phantom spot.

I suppose it’s needless to say why the general public isn’t allowed entry. The Garden of Myriad Flowers is a flower garden managed by Rosemary-san, but of course, Rosemary-san is extremely anxious around strangers, couldn’t open it up as a tourist attraction, so only Rosemary-san’s acquaintances are allowed to enter.

I waved Rosemary-san off with a wave of my hand as she departed, happy that I had one more thing to look forward to in the future.

In the center of the Garden of Myriad Flowers near Yggfresis, home of Rosemary, the Rose Princess, Rosemary was in a good mood as she tended to the flowers in her room.

The time she had spent with Kaito today had been very fun, so she was feeling very good right now.

At that moment, the bell at Rosemary’s home rang, announcing a visitor.

[……I’ll be intruding, Eri.]

[Lia? Welcome.]

The one who came to visit her was Camellia, one of the Seven Princesses and her best friend, to which Rosemary tilted her head before ushering her in.

Thereupon, she sat down in front of Camellia and prepared rose tea for her.

[Thank you. I’m sorry for the sudden visit, Eri.]

[No, but it’s unusual for you to come at this hour. Is something the matter?]

When Rosemary asked as she sat down across her, Camellia spoke with a somewhat worried expression on her face.

[No, I just wanted to make sure.]

[Make sure?]

[Yes, about “tomorrow”…… Are you sure you don’t need me to come with you? Even though you’re able to talk to Kaito-san now, I’m worried since there are also other people in his home……]

[……Eh? To…… morrow?]

When Rosemary heard what Camellia had said, she asked back with a surprised expression on her face.

[Unnn? No, like I said, tomorrow…… The 15th of the Heaven month, you’re going to visit Kaito-san’s home to thank him, right? I wanted to make sure about that matter……]

[……………………..H- Hey, Lia…… Can I ask you a question?]

[What is it?]

[Today…… is u- ummm…… the 14th of the Heaven month?]

[Eh? Yes, that’s right?]

After hearing Camellia’s words, Rosemary looked stunned, before turning her gaze to the calendar on the wall.

On the calendar, she saw the 15th Day of the Heaven month marked…… and seeing this, Rosemary finally realized that she got the date of her appointment with Kaito wrong.

[Awa—– Awawawawawa……]

[E- Eri? W- What’s the matter?]

[I- I- I- I messed up…… I- I…… went to Kaito-kun’s home today!]

[Eeeeeehhhhh!?]

Serious-senpai : [Now this is a rather curious development…… By the way, can I ask a question?]

? ? ? : [What is it?]

Doctor M : [Unnn?]

Serious-senpai : [Why did you eventually call her here…… Tell me a convincing answer……]

? ? ? : [Well, because of this and that, I guess.]
