Of course I know you don't have bad intentions, Kite. But how many times have you done it already?　Crom Aina-sama, Creation God, Death King, and World King..............................Even if we leave Cronor-sama out, it's already four times.
Yes.
''I'm at the end of my tether in many ways, so I think I can be forgiven for scolding Kite-san for once!
Oh, you're right.

　In front of Lilia-san, who was standing with a sad and painful expression...or rather, half-crying, I was sitting upright and bowing my head.
　The content of the conversation was, of course, about Liliwood-san, and when it comes to the third body of the Sixth King, Lilia-san's patience seems to have reached its limit.
　But even so, I'm not sure if she understands that I didn't intend for her to go there, so she doesn't yell at me unnecessarily..................it's more in the realm of complaining.

''........Well, it's not that Kite-san was hiding it this time, and fortunately, if you're Kaiou-sama, it won't be that difficult. So let's end the conversation here.
Oh, thank you.

　It seems that this is the end of the sermon, or rather the end of the complaining, and Lilia-san lets out a big sigh and her tense expression breaks down.
　Well, I really feel sorry for pushing Lilia-san to this point, and I know that the people I know are so outrageous that the kind Lilia-san has an expression of crisis to this point.
　No, I'm really sorry.... but... if I can complain about just one word, just one word... Lilia-san, I'm going to have to say '30' after that conclusion. I would have been happy to reach 'a minute early'.
　My feet are already numb and I can't feel them...

















　I'm finally free of Lilia-san's anger and come back to everyone.
　Everyone seems to decide not to mention Lilia-san's case for now, and they greet me quite normally.

''Miyama-sama.......over here.
'Miss Luna Maria?　What is this envelope?

　As soon as I returned, a somewhat good-humored Lunamaria-san held out an envelope to me, I took it and looked inside while tilting my head......................and there was quite a bit of money in it.

''No~ I've earned it from Miyama-sama. I'm already in a state where I can't stop laughing. So that's just a feeling.
Huh, huh...

　Apparently, Lunamaria-san, who bet all of last month's salary on me, won big, and that was already a smiling, smiling, smug face like an angel.
　

　And well, I replied to Luna Maria-san there, and when I moved my gaze.......I saw Fia-san sitting in a chair and hanging down in a paragraph.

''Um, what's wrong with Fia-san?''
Miyama-kun please leave her alone. Right now, Fia is in a twilight phase about her life.
What?
'.........2000.......2000 is such a number......monster.......

　With an expression of some kind of burnout, Fia-san mutters that I'm a monster. Confused by that melancholy look, I try to call out to her to comfort her somehow.

''........Oh no, that's Liliwood-san's power, and I'm not at all.
So ... how many did you collect before you met the World King?
...300-something.
...to be my apprentice.
Why?

　It seems that her mind is quite weak, and for some reason, Fia-san gets into a kneeling position and starts saying incomprehensible things.
　

　Yeah, it was too much in many ways.
　I knew I should have asked him properly beforehand about the scores of the harvest festival so far and so on.


... "Oh no, that's not...
...do you have........

　I took a sip of the tea that Luna Maria-san brewed for me, and hearing Lilia-san's words as she told me with a heartily tired look, I thought of what was in the magic box.
　

　But that doesn't mean that I'm going to hide it here.......I'm afraid of the consequences, mainly for Lilia-san....

　I think about it for a moment, and then, rather than put it off, I take the fruit of the world tree out of the magic box and place it on the table.

'What's this?'
It's beautiful.

　Looking at the fruit of the world tree that looked like crystal clear crystal, Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san tilted their heads in wonderment.
　But that wasn't all, Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san also tilted their heads to look at it.
　Oh, come to think of it, Lilia-san also said she had never seen the real thing before...

Miyama-kun!　This is........no way!

　Apparently Rei-san seems to have guessed what this is, and looks at me with an expression of disbelief on her face as if to say she can't believe it.

''Yes........it's the fruit of the World Tree. I received it from Liliwood-san.


　At my words, everyone's faces were filled with astonishment.
　It's no wonder that they were so surprised just to hear that the fruit of the world tree was going to be a prize at a hunting competition, so it's only natural that they would react in this way if the actual fruit appeared in front of them.
　Everyone stared at the fruit of the World Tree for a while, and then........the expression disappeared from Lilia-san's face.

''........''
Excuse me, miss?

　Lilia-san stood up with a blank expression as it was and walked to the corner of the room... and sat down with her knees in her arms.

''Miss!''
Why did you.... why didn't you... why didn't you... why didn't you... why didn't you... why didn't you... why didn't you... why didn't you... why didn't you... why didn't you... why didn't you get what you wanted when I couldn't get what I wanted after all these years of searching? ...So you're just going to go out and get it as if you're buying it while you're out and about.......
Miss, you've got to be kidding me!
'Ughhhhhh...!　I hate you, Kite, I hate you!

　........I started to cry.
　It seems to be quite a shock that I easily obtained the fruit of the world tree, which I couldn't obtain even though I had been desperately searching for years, even though I was desperately searching for it, and Lilia-san was crying like a child.

　I'm not going to be able to get the same thing for you.

''Zeke-san, take this.........''
Huh?
I heard yesterday that Mr. Zeke doesn't plan to heal that wound, but maybe someday he'll change his mind... and you can use it then.
"....!

　Looking at the fruit of the world tree I offered him, Zeke-san shook his head vigorously.
　The result is somewhat predictable, but Zeke-san must be refraining from accepting something that expensive.

　However, for me, I want Zeke to receive this at all costs, so I decide to give it to him a little forcefully.
　Quickly, I grab Zeke's hand and let him hold the fruit of the World Tree in it.

I'm not going to use it, but that's fine if you don't plan on using it. It's just that I wanted to do something for Siege-san, who has always been a great help to me, so.......
''~~!

　Is he in too much of a hurry?　When I grabbed his hand, Zeke's face turned red and a puzzled expression appeared on his face, but he could tell that I wouldn't give it up, and after a little while he accepted the World Tree Fruit.
　Zeke holds the fruit of the world tree with both hands as if it were important, and after a little while he puts it away in his magic box before taking out a piece of paper and a pen.

''Thank you. Mr. Kite.''
Oh, no, I didn't mean to be impertinent, but I think it's better to have more options.
'Yes, I suppose. Right now, I don't have an answer as to whether I'll use it or not, but I'll take good care of it.
'Yes. I think it's best for you to do what you want, Zeke.
"You are really.... really...

　Mr. Zeke put down his pen and paper when he had written that much and quickly reached out his hands to me and hugged me - what?

What?　Mr. Zeke!
....

　Zeke, who is almost as tall as I am, hugs me for a few moments in amazement, and then puts his mouth to my ear just before he releases my hands.

--Thank you.

　Maybe it was my imagination, but I heard such a voice, and I felt something soft touch my earlobe.

　Dear Mom, Dad - I gave the fruit of the World Tree to Mr. Zeke. I don't think I have an answer at this point as to whether I'll use it or not, but I think I was able to - in a small way - help Mr. Zeke.
