Chapter 1882: Ship Party 7

This might be sudden, but among the three best friends Lilia, Sieglinde and Lunamaria, Lunamaria was usually the one acting as the brain of the group.

She isn't only smart, but also insightful. Feeling a vague sense of unease, Lunamaria's gaze shifted around, and as a result, she observed the people in the venue and their movements to some extent and arrived at an answer.

[Well then, let's have a quick hello to the people we know and have a meal]

[No, I'm afraid we're unable to do that, Milady.]

[Eh?]

In response to Lilia's somewhat relaxed suggestion, Lunamaria answered, a hint of pity held within her eyes. Upon hearing those words, Lilia momentarily looked anxious, but quickly regained her composure or rather, seemingly deceiving herself, she put on a smile.

[What are you saying, Luna? This time's party has nothing to do]

[No, I've always had this vague feeling of unease, but I now know why I see, Miyama-sama had truly been triggering stomachaches to destroy Milady's stomach on a daily basis.]

[No, it's not like Kaito-san is doing it intentionally]

Sieglinde lightly interjected, but not reacting to it, Lunamaria continued with a solemn expression on her face.

[But at the same time he gives Milady stomachaches, Miyama-sama was also a powerful bulwark that protects Milady.]

[W- What do you mean?]

[Let's put things into perspective first. Milady is arguably the most famous noble within the Symphonia Kingdom, and even without that, you're a rare genius among Humans who gained combat prowess equal to that of a Count-rank in a short period of time. Even without considering the Goddess of Time's Blessing, there should be many who have taken an interest in Milady, especially those who observed the previous battle in the God Realm. In particular, the Six Kings' Executives might want to have a conversation with Milady, given your connection with the Six Kings.]

[In the first place, Miyama-sama has extremely powerful people behind his back, so putting aside how he's polite with others, he's actually in a position where he would be forgiven even if he makes some sort of blunder around the Six Kings' Executives. I mean, to begin with, Miyama-sama is good at handling people, it's like he's loved by fate and the world No, I guess he really is loved by them huh. Anyhow, Miyama-sama is a communication monster who naturally gets along with others, leaving a good impression on them, whether intentionally or not. So, when Miyama-sama is around, leaving the situation to him would generally ensure a good atmosphere but since he's not here today, Milady will have to manage on your own.]

[.]

[Well then, I'm worried how Mom's doing at the moment, so if you'll excuse me]

[You must be kidding, right!? After stirring up so much anxiety in me, you're planning to leave me behind!? S- Sieg]

[Ahh~~ I'm also concerned about how my parents are doing Also, with my position, even if I were to stay here, it would be difficult for me to join in the conversation so umm Good luck with that, Lili.]

[My stomach It hurts]

Having said all she had to say, Lunamaria departed with very quick and smooth movements, and Sieglinde, even though she looked hesitant, also decided that it would be difficult to interject into the conversation between the Six Kings' Executives and a Duchess due to her position, and thus left the scene as well.

And now, left alone with a despairing expression on her face, Lilia was approached by the first person.

[Lilia Albert-dono, I would like to talk with you for a bit, but would that be alright?]

[Y- Yes. With pleasure Epsilon-sama.]

With the result of the eye contact seemingly indicating that Epsilon would be the first to visit her, though her eyes resemble those of a dead fish, Lilia desperately put on a smile and responded.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [The sudden sweetness from the last chapter gave me a body blow, this time, Lilia received a body blow right to her stomach A single arc making use of two different types of body blows, how frightening.]
