Chapter 57 Lilia-san Fainted Again

After finishing her greetings to me and Chronois-san, Isis-san looked around once and finally settled her sight on Lilia-san. [……The homeowner?] [……Y- Yes. M- My name is Lilia Albert.] [……Nice to meet you.] [N- Nice to meet you too.] Ah, I see. She wants to say her greetings to the homeowner, but she didn’t know who the homeowner was, so she looked around for any people that might look like it. When Isis-san asked so, Lilia-san nodded her head with clear anxiousness on her face. Even that Lilia-san is so frightened to this extent…… I wonder how dreadful her magic power of death originally is? [No, the pressure she’s releasing is considerably lesser today. Her mind greatly influences the magic power of death she’s releasing, so she must be in a very good mood today.] Sensing the doubts that came to my mind, Chronois-san whispered more information. It seems that her magic power of death was greatly affected by her emotions, so if Isis-san is in a bad mood, she would look more atrocious, and conversely, if she’s in a good mood, she becomes less intimidating. Perhaps because of that, Lilia-san is also able to properly converse with her even though she’s still trembling, so Chronois-san also looks at both of them with a slightly relieved expression on her face. [……By the way…… there’s one thing…… I want to ask you……] [Eh? W- What is it?] [……New Year’s evening party……Why is it…… that only Kaito didn’t attend?] [Hiiiihhhh!?] Isis-san’s voice clearly becomes lower, and Lilia-san reflexively jumps back. Perhaps, Isis-san is releasing a rather atrocious magic power of death. Not only Lilia-san, but even Lunamaria-san’s legs are trembling now, and seeing the situation, Chronois-san immediately intervenes between Lilia-san and Isis-san. [Wait, Death King. What are you planning to do when you ask something like that?] [……What I’m going to do? ……If Kaito…… was being tormented by someone here…… I will “kill” everyone related to it.] [Wait a sec…… Isis-san?] [……If the homeowner there…… is tormenting…… Kaito…… I’ll kill her.] [ ! ? ! ? ] I don’t know how Isis-san knows about the evening party, but I can tell that the current situation is being caught up regarding this topic. Chronois-san is clearly about to fight with Isis-san, glaring at her with her sharp eyes, while Isis-san is also looking at her with her freezing gaze. And also, is it their magic power that was clashing between them? I can even hear the air creaking. Doesn’t this situation look really bad? [Do you really think I’m going to let you do that?] [……If you interfere…… I’m also…… going to kill you.] [Tsk…… I knew it would turn like this!] [P- Please wait a minute, Isis-san!] [……Kaito?] When I saw Isis-san and Chronois-san look like they would really start fighting, I hurriedly called out to Isis-san. I don’t know where she got that information from, but it seems that Isis-san misunderstands that I’m being tormented here, and I, as the person in question, must first of all, tell them the truth. [Isis-san, even if that were the case, fighting here is no good!] [Miyama, stop! With the way she is right now, she’s in no condition to converse with……] [……Unnn…… I understand…… If Kaito says so…… I won’t fight.] [——What?] When I told her not to start fighting here, Isis-san quickly listens to me and the tense atmosphere she previously had dissipates. Chronois-san looked as if she doesn’t understand what’s happening, but I think it’s better if I clear up Isis-san’s misunderstanding first, so I ignore Chronois-san for the time being and begin explaining to Isis-san. [That day I was invited by Kuro…… the Underworld King, so I wasn’t able to attend.] [……Underworld King…… You know…… Kuromueina?] [Yes, anyway, that’s why I’m not being tormented by anyone in particular. Lilia-san has been really good to me, and I’ve always been in her care.] [……I- Is that so…… Lilia…… I’m sorry.] [Eh? Ah, y- yes.] As I thought, Isis-san really has an honest personality, as after hearing my words, she understands that what she heard before was just a misunderstanding, and immediately bows her head to Lilia-san and apologizes. After seeing one of the Six Kings suddenly bowing her head to her, Lilia-san looked dumbfounded as her trembling stopped due to the confusion she’s feeling, and nodded her head. [Besides, Isis-san is an incredibly strong person, so you shouldn’t just say you’d kill someone without a second thought.] [……I understand…… I won’t just say…… that I will kill someone.] [Thank you. I’m glad you understand.] […..If Kaito is happy…… then I’m…… also happy.] [……Oi, seriously, who the heck is that? It’s not someone else that’s wearing the skin of the Death King, right?] When I thanked Isis-san for listening to what I said, Isis-san nodded with a smile while her cheeks were adorably blushing. Yep, I think she really is a good, honest person, and the public’s perception of Isis-san is probably largely due to the effects of her magic power of death. Patting my chest after feeling relieved, for some reason, Chronois-san looked confused as she whispered something to me. [Oi, you…… How in the world did you manage to tame that unreasonable Death King?] [Eh? No, it’s not that I tamed her or anything like that……] [No, she was originally the kind of person that’s so unreasonable that it makes the head of the people around her hurt, and she would even resort to using force when someone disagrees with her…… How did you make her listen to you like a loyal dog. You…… Are you a monster?] [………………] For some reason, the Supreme God thinks of me as someone inhuman. To me though, Isis-san has always been like this since the moment I met her, but it seems to be different from the public’s perception of her. Hmmm, I think it was the public’s perception of her that’s wrong though…… I think Isis-san is an honest and kind person, but could it be that the magic power of death she was clad in caused unnecessary misunderstandings? As I was thinking about this, Isis-san turned to Lilia-san again, and with a calm tone, she spoke. [……Kaito…… said that he had always been in your care…… that’s why I…… am also thankful to you…… If there’s anything I can do to help…… Just say it.] [Eh? Ah, errr, ummm, i- i- it would be my honor!?] As if she didn’t expect those words to come out from her mouth, Lilia-san stutter while she resolutely nodded her head, filled with a mixture of fear and confusion. [Hohhh… Does that mean……for example, if Lilia says that she wants to procure “Blue Diamonds” and “Ice Crystals” that can be mined from under your home, you would accept?] [B- B- B- Blue Diamond!? Ice Crystal!? U- U- Ummm, Chronois-sama? That should be one of the world’s finest jewelry that only appears on the market a few times a year……] [……Unnn? ……If you want them…… I can give you…… as much as you want, you know?] [Eeehhhhhh!?] I still don’t understand the cost of living in this world very well, but it seems that in the area where Isis-san lives, an extremely rare jewel can be mined, and Isis-san that it’s alright for Lilia-san—— for Albert Duchy to procure it. [I- Isn’t that great…… My Lady. We could even make a fortune as a jeweler with this……] [N- No, I mean, eh? P- Please wait a moment!? I can’t keep up with what’s happening…… Kyyuuu~] [My Lady!?] Ah, Lilia-san had already reached over her tolerance limit. Lunamaria-san rushed over as Lilia-san’s eyes turned in circles. It’s a scene that I’ve become rather used to seeing lately…… but in a way, it can be said that it’s my fault again, so I feel somewhat sorry for it. [Isis-san, shall we go inside for now?] [……Unnn…… I’d like to talk…… with Kaito…… about lots of things.] [Yeah, we didn’t get to talk much last time. We’ve got lots of time today, so let’s just sit back and have some tea while we talk.] [……I’m looking forward to it.] Though I said that, since I can’t really do anything about it…… I’ll just show Isis-san around for the time being. Because of her magic power of death, the only people who can properly speak with her are me and Chronois-san, so I was originally supposed to be the one who will be guiding her in the mansion, so there’s no problem. Seeing the sincerely happy smile on Isis-san’s face while her cheeks were slightly blushing red, I also smiled at her and headed into the mansion. [Lilia…… You’re really filled with all sorts of troubles huh. I’ll go send you some good stomach medicine next time.] I heard Chronois-san’s voice from behind, sounding like she was really pitying her from the bottom of her heart. Dear Mom, Dad—— With Isis-san’s arrival comes some troubles, and I don’t know if you could say that it has become a tradition these days but—— Lilia-san fainted again. T/N: Stop, stop, stop please! No, seriously, I almost used up all my stacks there. -LazyCat T/N: Shameless : How about checking out Saikyou Juzoku Tensei Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life?
