C.1552 – Gifts for My Lovers ③

After finishing giving Shiro-sans accessory to her, I wondered who I should give to next time, but I guess it wouldnt be any trouble if I handed it over based on who is the most nearby.

First, I checked to see if Anima was home, but it seemed that she went outside, so I couldnt give it to her right away.

In that case, the next closest would be Lilia-san and Sieg-san. No, its true that Alice would technically be the closest, but since she asked me to give hers later, I decided to consider her miscellaneous goods store as her location.

And so, I went to visit Lilia-san first but for some reason, Lilia-san looked very tired.

[Arehh? Lilia-san? You look kind of tired]

Thats strange? Lilia-san hasnt been busy with work lately, and last I heard, she should have been talking a little while ago that she was relatively free and could relax for a while. It was like, the expression on her face is also questioning where that cheerful face at that time disappeared to.

[Ahh, Kaito-san. No, ummm, it was hurriedly decided that I would participate in Archlesia Empires Founding Festival, so I was a little tired after confirming and completing various procedures.]

[Eh? Arehh? Lilia-san, didnt you say that you wouldnt be participating in Archlesia Empire?]

[That was the plan but]

Of course, I have told Lilia-san in detail that I will be opening a stall with Amel-san at Archlesia Empires Founding Festival. If she finds out about this later, she will definitely get angry, so I intend to thoroughly inform her in advance.

I remember that Lilia-san also told me that she had no particular plans to participate in Archlesia Empires Founding Festival, and she even kindly told me Please enjoy yourself.

I asked her why her plans had suddenly changed, and to my surprise She told me that Eden-san had come and asked her to visit my stall in her stead.

According to Lilia-san, she wasnt forced to do this by Eden-san, it was just a request, but even if thats so, I dont think Lilia-san could refuse Eden-san. Seriously, even though she isnt someone I could have told her about, but even without considering that, she sure attracts trouble like a black hole

[However, thats surprising. I honestly thought Eden-san would come to my stall herself.]

[Yes, I was a little skeptical, but it seems that she had a contract with Shallow Vernal-sama, so she couldnt go there directly.]

[I see]

Certainly, if someone is able to control Eden-san, it would be someone like Shiro-san I also felt like she was reprimanding Eden-san during my housewarming party, so she may have stopped Eden-san from going on a rampage without my knowledge.

[I see, if Eden-san isnt going to directly come, I think it would be better if I give this to Lilia-san.]

[Unnn? What is it?]

[Well, I actually expected Eden-san to come to our stall. And so, while Amel-san and I were making original accessories for the stall, I thought that Eden-san would definitely want it, so I made a separate one for her.]

Yes, I was wary of Eden-sans visit right from the start. Considering who the most dangerous person in terms of damage to Chris-san would be, no matter how I thought about it, it would be Eden-san. And if I were to make original accessories, I was sure that there was no way Eden-san would not want it, so I made an accessory for her.

Alice recommended a necklace in the shape of a gear, so I prepared a necklace in that shape, planning to give it to Eden-san when she comes to my stall. However, since she had asked Lilia-san to go to my stall in her stead, it would be best to have her hand it over along with other products.

That way, Eden-sans impression of Lilia-san would improve and she might be less likely to drag Lilia-san around her absurdities in the future.

Also, the purpose of having Lilia-san give it to her instead of me is to prevent Eden-san from going on a rampage.

[And so, please give this to her.]

[Thank you. Indeed, with this, Eden-san will certainly be pleased, and it will be easier for me to give her the item.]

[Also This is for Lilia-san]

[Eh? For me?]

[Yes. I made it with Lilia-sans image in mind. I tried making you a brooch, but I apologize for it being amateurish. If its alright with you, please accept my gift.]

The brooch I made for Lilia-san is one made with a rare gemstone called Imperial Twin Topaz, which has two colors of blue and yellow at the same time as if theres a blue sea trapped inside a yellow gemstone.

I made it with the image of a dragon-like feather, and I think I was able to do it relatively well thanks to Alices guidance. However, it isnt of a quality that would allow one to wear it to a social occasion, so I think it would be used more in a casual setting

[Thank you. This makes me happy. Also, if Kaito-san is alright with it, would you like to go to a ball together with me next time? If possible, I would like to wear this brooch when Im with Kaito-san]

[Eh? Yes, if youre alright with me, Ill go with you anytime.]

[Fufu, Im looking forward to it. Seriously, blowing away the tiredness I had just before as if it was a lie Somehow, I suddenly found myself feeling really happy.]

Lilia-sans expression as she said that with a smile wasnt like the tired one she had before, giving me the impression that she was really happy. I also want to fulfill Lilia-sans request as much as possible, so Ill practice dancing so that Ill be ready whenever she invites me again.

Makina : [M- My chiiiiiiiild! I- I believed in you!!! Mother really believed in you Ah, my beloved child really is a cute and good child. Im a bit dissatisfied that he cant give it to me directly, but acting all reserved and handing it to Lilia also shows his cuteness, and thats fine too!!!]
