Chapter 1991: Canalis 8

Explaining things to Lilia-san is something I can't avoid. Strictly speaking, Canalis-san is just living in my house, and there's no real connection to Lilia-san or the Albert Duchy...... but considering they'll be neighbors, it's better to explain things now. I don't even want to imagine how angry she'll be later if I don't.

Checking with Lilia-san about her schedule, it seemed she was free, so I decided to seize the moment and head to her office with Canalis-san.

[Excuse me, Lilia-san. Sorry for dropping by all of a sudden.]

[No, I just finished my work, so I was free anyway...... So, is something the matter?]

[Actually, there's someone I'd like to introduce to you......]

[......Hey, why did her eyes suddenly become as dark and resigned as the night sea......? How many scenes of carnage has this young woman been through to look like that......?]

As soon as I spoke, the light in Lilia-san's eyes vanished. Even though she didn't say a word, I could almost hear her thinking, "Did you bring another troublesome person from somewhere?"

Even if it's just for a moment, the way she smoothly reached for her stomach medicine gave off an aura of dignity.

[......So, Kaito-san. From where is this authoritative figure from now...... I'm afraid this is the first time I've seen her...... Ah, excuse my rudeness. I should introduce myself first. My name is Lilia Albert.]

[Nice to meet you, I'm Canalis...... However, I'm not someone of authority, okay? You could say I'm more of a traveler from another world? I've come to live at Kaito-sama's house, so I thought I'd introduce myself. Tahaa~~ Sorry for being an unconventional traveler.]

No, the actual cause of her feeling like this is me, and I'm really sorry about that but......

[F- Forgive me. So, Canalis-sama mentioned that she would be staying at Kaito-san's house. Does that mean you plan to stay in this world for a while?]

[Yes. It's more like I'll be settling here, although it's not entirely set in stone yet. I plan to work for Kaito-sama.]

[Work?]

[Yes...... Errr, Kaito-sama, should the details be kept private for now?]

[Ah, no, it's alright. I planned to explain everything to Lilia-san anyway...... So, to explain from my side, I've been thinking of appointing Canalis-san as the head of the Nifty store expansion that I've been planning. Of course, I'll discuss it with Anima and others first but......]

[......I see...... A God on par with Shallow Vernal-sama...... You're going to hire such a person as a store manager...... Ahhhh, I can't take this anymore...... Just when I thought I'd met most of the influential people in this world, you start bringing in powerful beings from other worlds...... Do you not know how to hold back? Can I lie down for a bit? My stomach hurts.]

With an indescribable expression on her face, as if she was trying to endure a headache...... Lilia-san muttered with a hint of sorrow in her voice.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [After all the hardships and stomachaches, she'd gotten to the point where she could say she got to know almost all of the major authoritative figures in this world, and then, just when she let her guard down, a stomachache from another world arrives......]
