Perhaps they continued to clean throughout the night?　In front of the mansion, which is so clean and neatly cleaned to the extent that I think it's like a new building, most of the servants who serve the Duke Albert family are gathered in front of the mansion.
　The sight of Lilia-san and others neatly lined up from the gate to the front door of the mansion seems to indicate how important the beings who will be visiting here are to them, and the air in the air is filled with a tingling, skin-piercing tension.

　Today is the seventh day of the fire moon and the time is soon to be noon - Black will be here soon.
　I don't know if it's because of the business I mentioned last night or the fact that I'll be visiting today, but Kuro doesn't appear in my room, and that's partly why I'm feeling nervous.
　In the quiet silence of the air, I look at the pocket watch in my hand. The moment the ticking second hand circles around and the time indicates noon - the air changes.

''Huh?''

　If I were to compare it to that, it would be as if the air around them suddenly changed to lead or something....a heavy pressure on the entire body.
　The view ahead of you wavered like a mirage, and Black appeared in front of the wide open gate.
　The expression on the black coat is not the innocent smile that I've seen before, and the atmosphere he wears is different from the usual.
　Naturally, the people around them, including Lilia and I, hang their heads. The sound of the sound disappears as if the entire space around them has fallen silent, leaving only the sound of Kuro's footsteps in the silence.
　His beautiful silver-white hair shimmers in the sunlight, and his golden eyes silently stare only forward.

　It was right - it was the king's march.
　You've got to be able to get the best out of it.
　It's only a few seconds of walking from the gate to the front door. We can't look away, we can't speak, we can't breathe, we can't look at the figure of the Absolute, who walks forward with ease.
　Then Black stands in front of Lilia-san, who has her head deeply bowed, and quietly opens her mouth.

''I'm sorry for my sudden visit. Duke Albert.
No, no ... welcome. The Dark Lord Crom'eina-sama.
'Yeah. I'm sorry to be so quick, but I'd like to talk to you at length, and I wonder if you'd mind letting me in?
Of course. Please come this way....

　We exchange greetings with Lilia-san in a calm but sure and dignified voice, and Kuro walks straight into the mansion, guided by Lilia-san.
　Instead of a small reception room, we move into a neatly decorated hall, and inside, only Lilia-san, Luna Maria-san, me, Kusunoki-san, Yuzuki-san, and a few servants enter, and then the large door is closed.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with this particular one.
　The weight of the weight of the weight of the weight of the day disappears.

'How did it go, Kite?　I'm in serious mode!　Wasn't that cool!
....

　It is ruined. I'll repeat it twice because it's important, but it's ruined.
　I want you to return the respect I had for you when I saw your dignified appearance earlier and thought, oh, you're the Dark Lord. The smug look on his face is so cute, it's annoying.
　Anyway, Kuro seems to have returned to normal mode from his seriousness mode and is talking to me with his usual bright smile.
　And even though I was stunned by the change in his behavior, I accepted Lilia's suggestion to sit down, so he took a seat in front of a large table, looked at me and patted the seat next to him.

''Kaito-kun, here, here,''
"...um...yeah. Okay.

　I don't know what to do and look at Lilia-san, but she nodded silently, apparently telling me to sit next to her.
　In other words, this means that you have to follow Black's wishes. Recognizing that, I follow Kuro and take a seat next to her.
　

Black was the Dark Lord...
"Oh, that's the one, but people call me that, and I've never called myself that.
Something about it doesn't seem to fit the picture, for sure.
Ha-ha, I know.

　Seeing me talking to Kuro as usual, Lilia-san has a pale face, but Kuro doesn't seem bothered by it and replies with a bright smile.
　And in front of Kuro, Lunamaria-san brings a cup of tea in front of him, looking extremely nervous.

''Meh, Pluto-sama........oh, tea........''
Thanks, huh?
Huh?

　Looking at the tea that Lunamaria-san put down, Black looked at Lunamaria-san's face and tilted his head after saying a few words of thanks.
　Seeing this, Lunamaria-san, perhaps thinking that she had done something coarse, hurriedly got on her knees and tried to bow, but immediately afterwards, she stiffened at the words Black had said.

''You, we met about ten years ago, didn't we?''
!
'I think it was ... Luna Maria, right?
...Oh, you remembered.................

　After receiving the words Black said, Lunamaria-san's eyes widened as if to say she couldn't believe it, and she opened her mouth as if she was stunned and muttering.

''Of course I remember. How's your mother doing?''
''~~!　Ha, yes!　Thanks to the Dark Lord, health itself!
Good. That's good.
''Yes........all thanks to the Dark Lord. I couldn't even thank you for that time....

　Come to think of it, did Lilia say that Lunamaria had met Black before, and then she began to adore the Dark Lord at the level of a fanatic?
　Lunamaria-san didn't think that Black would remember her after meeting her only once, and after looking impressed, she put her hands on her head and bowed deeply.

'Don't worry about that. You've grown up. It's good to see you again.
''~~!　

　Black smiles brightly and pats Lunamaria-san's head, while Lunamaria-san is overcome with emotion and bursts into large tears.
　I can only assume from the exchange that something happened to Lunamaria-san's mother and that Kuro helped her out.
　In other words, you owe a great debt of gratitude to her, and that's why she admires you so much. It's a good story.
　And as it was, Lunamaria-san thanked Black repeatedly, then got up and went back to the rear of Lilia-san, but on the way, I heard a small voice muttering something.

The thing is....I don't care if I die now....
....

　Yup. Luna Maria I think the needle has swung too far into another vector than gratitude, don't you?　He has a trance-like expression on his face, his face is all red like a maiden in love, and his eyes are only looking at Black from earlier.

　Dear Mom, Dad-- Looks like Mr. Lunamaria was saved by Black a long time ago. But even with all that, Mr. Lunamaria was still a fanatic.
