67-I will try to move positively




 When I come back to the mansion, Lilia-san seems to be calling me, and I move to the office where Lilia-san is.
 When I open the door and enter, Lilia-san turns to me with a mysterious look on her face.

''Welcome back, Kite,''
Yes. I'm back now.
So ... and now who is it?
...Yeah?

 While looking at me with a worried expression, Lilia-san asks me with her hands trembling slightly, but I don't immediately understand what she means and nod my head.

''........Who on earth did you come to know this time? The World King? Is he the god of fate? If there's anything you need to know, just tell me now!
....

 What can I say about this, I seem to have pushed Lilia-san to the edge a lot.
 That's already enough to make me teary-eyed... no, I'm really sorry.
 I feel guilty that I've met some extraordinary people in rapid succession, and that I'm really giving Lilia-san a hard time, and I tell her about Alice, whom I met today.
 After listening intently to the conversation about Alice for a while, Lilia-san pats her chest with a heartfelt look of relief.

''.......Good. I don't know you.''
What do you mean? I'm sorry.
No, no, I'm sorry for the sensitivity on our part.

 I'll try to do better next time. I'll try to report even the smallest details more properly from now on.
 While thinking about this, I turned my gaze to Lilia-san's desk and found many documents on it.
 It's not so much a letter as it is an accounting-related document, as the numbers are lined up in a row, although from a distance.

''Mr. Kite? What's going on?
'Oh, no, I've never seen Lilia-san at work before...'
It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what to expect when you are in charge of your own life. And, simply by nature, it would be awkward to leave everything to others, so I try to do the work I can do myself.

 I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that it's a very good idea to have a good idea of what a nobleman looks like before you meet him, but I've realized since I came to this world that it was just my own preconception.
 It's not like a nobleman in a good way, especially Lilia-san, she's only one year older than me, but she's an honorable person who I can respect wholeheartedly.

 It seems that there are no important confidential documents, so since it's safe for me to look at them, I look at the documents that Lilia-san is processing from a little distance.
 The fact that there are a lot of numbers lined up means that they are accounting-related, perhaps calculating expenses and income.
 Is it because the currency is different? It's a different shape than the one I know, but the use of it is the same... I think that what Lilia-san is holding in her hand is the solo van of this world.

 As I watched the scene for a while, a question popped into my head. I wondered if this world doesn't have a calculator or something like that.......
 No, I would never say that a calculator is better than a Soroban in every way. It's a good idea to be able to use it to make calculations at a tremendous speed, if you're an expert in Soroban.
 However, that's only for a small percentage of people... In fact, Lilia-san has been looking at the documents over and over again and calculating each time while slowly moving the Soroban.
 I think that with that thing, it's going to take quite a while to finish calculating everything.

 Lilia-san is causing a lot of trouble, even just because of me. It's not that I'm not good at math, but I've only learned how to use Soroban a few times in my elementary school days.
 If you try to help, you'll be in the way.

 But if I had a calculator here, I might be able to help Lilia-san with her work, and even if I didn't, I would certainly be able to improve her work speed.
 But unfortunately, I don't have a calculator at hand at the moment. To be precise, I had a pocket-sized calculator in my backpack when I came to this world, but.......the calculator is a mechanical product, and right now it's in the custody of the Goddess of Law.

 Normally the conversation should have ended there, but a thought had come to my mind.
 In this world, useful tools called magic tools support life, and some of them even have capabilities far beyond the mechanical products of the original world.
 There are magic tools that play a role similar to that of a lighter, and there are magic tools that have a performance similar to that of an air conditioner. I'm sure you'll be able to find some magic tools that can calculate like a calculator, and even if you don't have one, you can make one.

 But I'm still a novice when it comes to this world, and I don't know if there is such a thing as a magic tool, or if it's really possible to make what I think it is.
 Hmmm. I'm sure the best way to find out is to ask the creator of the magic tool, Kuro, who is the most reliable source of information about magic.

 It's a good idea to leave the room so as not to disturb Lilia-san further, and while walking down the corridor to my room, I put together in my mind what I want to ask her the next time she comes to visit me.

 Dear Mom and Dad - I want to make it as easy as possible for Lilia-san, who has been causing me a lot of trouble. So I'm going to try to be a little--proactive.





























 Isis's residence, which is wrapped in ice. In that one room, the World King, Liliwood Yggdrasil, had a very tired expression on his face.
 In contrast to Liliwood, who has a mentally heartily fatigued expression on his face, Isis, the lord of this castle, is in a very good mood and is staring at a bundle of wrapped books.

''........Liliwood thank you.......for the books I'm giving to Kite. ...decided.
"...that's good. No, really, the world's economy didn't suffer from an imbalance...

 He desperately persuaded Isis, who was about to give him books of tremendous value, such as grimoires with ancient magic if left alone, and forbidden books containing the methods of secret medicine, to select and mend the safe items from his collection of over 10 million books. It was a really hard and long process, and thanks to that, Liliwood was completely exhausted.

'Sorry to bother you, Isis,'
Crom-ayna... welcome.
The new baby sponge cake is ready to share.... Was Lillywood here too?
''........Crom Eina. If possible, I wish you had come a little earlier.''
What?

 And just then........as if he was looking for the right moment to finish choosing a book, Crom-ayna appears and Liliwood mutters while slumping his shoulders widely.
 Crom-ayna turns towards Isis, tilting her head greatly at Liliwood's appearance.......and tilts her head again.

''Huh? Isis, you're in a great mood. What's up?
...a friend... of... a human being.
'What? Really!
''Yes, I was skeptical as well, but actually, Isis went to visit the person the other day and she's been in a good mood ever since.

 Hearing the words that Isis announced happily, Crom Eina made an expression of disbelief, and Liliwood, who had experienced a similar reaction not long ago, put in some additional words.

''Heh, there are some amazing kids. Isis, what kind of girl is that?
"....and he said he knew Krom Eina........and his name.......was Kite.
Huh? Kite is........Miyama Kite-kun?
Did you know?
Yeah, I see her almost every day. You're my favorite girl right now.

 Hearing Kaito's name that Isis told her, Crom Eina really makes a heartfelt expression of surprise.

''I see........Kaito-kun is friends with Isis.......''
'Crom Eina. Who is this person called Kite? According to what Isis said, you have special powers, is it really possible to resist the magic of death?''
'Hmmm. It's true that Kaito-kun has a slightly unusual power called sensory magic, and it can adapt to non-hostile magic, but it's not supposed to be against anyone.
What do you mean?
''Kaito-kun's magic power certainly adapts to other magic powers... but the basic premise is that if Kaito-kun doesn't want to be 'friendly with that person,' it won't adapt, and it won't adapt instantly.''

 Just like Crom Eina's words, Kaito's sensory magic does not correspond to all magic power instantly.
 It is only a prerequisite that Kaito wants to adapt to it even unconsciously, in other words, Kaito does not harbor hostility towards the other party either.

In other words, Kaito-kun........felt the magic power of Isis's death, still tried to get along with Isis, and desperately tried to adapt while being exposed to the magic power of death for a reasonable amount of time. I think that's why I was able to adapt to the death magic.
....
'And you're a tremendous person. I still can't believe it.

 Crom Eina told him quietly.
 Kaijin himself said it was thanks to the sensory magic, but it couldn't have happened if Kaijin hadn't wanted to reach out to Isis in the first place, and Kaijin still tried to befriend Isis despite his painful feelings.
 A fact that he found out unexpectedly. It was very happy, or maybe it was very happy, but the cheeks of Isis were dyed bright red, and she was staring at the void as if she had fallen in love with it.
 In contrast to such a reaction from Isis, Liliwood has a shuddering look on her face.

''Hmmm. I think it was impossible for the Kaito-kun from when he first came to this world. I'm sure you'll be surprised at how much better he looks these days, and he's a sweetheart who tries his best to help others. Well, that's why I like it so much.
'....yeah....kite....nice....cool...
''........I see. Come to think of it, Crom Eina said that you see her almost every day.......that's why you've been visiting the Symphonia Kingdom so much lately.''
Ha-ha, well, that's what you call it.

 Liliwood, who became more and more interested in Kaito after hearing both Crom'eina and Isis' words, nodded, looking forward to the upcoming visit.
 And he smiles serenely as he understands why Crom Eina has been visiting the Symphonia Kingdom so frequently lately.

''In that case, it looks like I should ask Crom Eina for a meeting for this heroic festival, regarding the Symphonia Kingdom.
No.
"...what?

 In the year of the Festival of the Brave, Crom Eina and Liliwood, who have close ties to the human world, divide up and meet with each country.......to discuss the order of the pilgrimage for the role of the brave and the events of the Festival of the Brave.
 

'I don't like the king over there because he 'made Kite-kun an outcast'.
...kite... to keep you out?

 Hearing the words Crom Eina told him, Liliwood held his head in his hands.
 
 You will be able to find out what kind of action Isis will take if it is known, so it is a secret, but Isis is just relieved to hear from Kaito that he couldn't go due to other business, and he was just relieved a few days ago............. The bomb was dropped from an unlikely place.

 Hearing Crom Eina's words, Isis quietly muttered and then quickly stood up.

''Hey, Isis. Where do you plan to go?''
...the Kingdom of Sinfonia.
'Well, wait! That's....
Isis! STOP!
...Chrome-Eyna?

 
 Liliwood was relieved to hear that and turned to Crom Eina, who was probably on his side.......but his next words made him pale.

''That's right Crom Eina. You have to tell me as well........''
Let me help you!
Hey!

You can't kill them, that would get you in trouble, Kite. I'm going to threaten you until your heart is broken so you won't do anything stupid again.
Okay I'll make it ... 'crippled'.
'What a terrible thing to say! And don't let ISIS convince you!'

 If you look closely, you can see that Crom Eina's smile has disappeared as well, and she is clearly angry, saying horrible things in a matter-of-fact manner.

''Wait! I'll, I'll take care of it! I'll make sure he apologizes to the King of Symphonia! Please don't move, please don't move, you guys!

 On that day, in the silent land of death the hardship of the Six Kings One the cry of the World King was inspired by the wood.
