After leaving Magnawell-san, I stepped into the icy land with Liliwood-san.
　Even though I knew I had White's blessing, I was still a little nervous about plunging into the post-silver world... but I was able to step forward without feeling any particular cold.
　I'm sure that if you think about it, you should have felt the cold before you stepped on the ice and snow, so White's blessing was already having an effect.

　As I continued on through the icy land for a while, a large castle came into view out of the corner of my eye.
　It's a beautiful castle that seems to blend in with the landscape........its color is white and ephemeral like snow, but its exterior is solemn and gives the impression of a mysterious temple of some kind.
　That's.........the castle where Isis-san lives.......


Oh...

　Liliwood-san announced in a dumbfounded but somewhat happy voice, and I moved my gaze, and the gates of the ice castle opened, revealing Isis-san's figure.

''Isis-san!''
''.........?　Kite!

　I get a good look at her and then wave my hand as I call out to her in a louder voice, and she smiles and calls my name with a flowery smile on her face.
　I immediately arrive at the gate where she is waiting for me, get off the floating wooden chair and approach her.

　Isis-san is dressed in a pale blue gothic dress that is a little different from the usual, and combined with her pearly white hair that shines faintly in the light, she looks so pretty that you could think she is a snow fairy.
　Hmmm. After all, Isis-san is so cute.............................Oh no, I'm getting a little nervous.

''.........Kite......welcome......I'm so glad you're here.......''
'No, it's a pleasure to be here, too, to visit you, Isis. Thank you for your help this time.
...yes!

　Isis-san looked really happy and nodded repeatedly with a murderously cute smile that made her cheeks turn slightly red.

''Speaking of which.......is it okay that I 'even borrowed' your room?'''
"Yeah ... well ... Kite ... I want you to stay ... forever ... ....I'm happy to have Kite here with me.
Oh, thank you. Well, I'll see you for three days, then.
Yeah!

　Yes, this time I'm not going to do a day trip, I'm going to stay at Isis's castle for two nights.
　At first I thought it would be a day trip, but after talking to Kuro, I found out that it's quite a distance from the transporter gate to Isis' castle, and she said it wouldn't be a relaxing day trip.
　When I talked to Isis-san about it, she suggested that I could stay the night.

　At first, I didn't think it would be a good idea to go that far, or rather, I got nervous thinking about being alone with Isis-san under one roof, so I thought I'd refrain from doing so, but........ There are no lodges or even villages around, and if you don't stay, you'll really be returning home a dragonfly.
　So in the end, I finally decided to break off and visit for two nights and three days.
　It was supposed to come to the demon world in the afternoon, but it's already getting to be evening, so I think it was the right choice.
　And, well, since Liliwood-san is also there, it's not like we're alone.......

''Well, I've sent Kite to her, so I'd better get going.
Huh?
"...yes ...Lillywood ...thank you.
"So, Mr. Kite. I'll be back to pick you up when you return.
'What?　Hey!

　Ehhh!　Wait a minute!　Are you going home?　Mr. Lillywood, you're leaving already!
　I almost opened my mouth to hurriedly stop Liliwood-san, but sooner than that, Liliwood-san disappeared with the transition magic.
　

　The situation was different from the previous time when Isis-san came to Lilia-san's mansion.
　That time it was just the two of us in the room, but there were many people inside the mansion, but.............but no one else lives in Isis-san's castle except Isis-san.
　In that case, it's really just the real two of us....I'm starting to get extremely nervous!

...Kite?
'Ha, ha, yes!
...Are you okay?
No, I'm fine!　Hey, I'm just feeling a bit tired from the long trip...

　
　I'm sorry, Isis-san. I had a weird imagination...

　Apologizing in my mind, I walked with Isis through the big gate and into the castle.

















　To be honest, the inside of the castle was an impressive sight.
　The beautiful shimmering floor, the shape of the chandeliers and the luxurious chandeliers, even the pillars were beautiful like works of art.
　I've been to Chris's castle before, but it was much larger and more beautiful than that.

It's very spacious.
'........but.......there are a lot of rooms that aren't used....

　Isis-san's profile was a little sad as she told me that.
　When you think about it, it's no wonder...................There's only Ms. Isis-san living in this large castle. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

　Why did Mr. Isis build such a large castle?
　

　While looking at the inside of the large castle, I came up with this idea... I talked to Isis-san, who was walking next to me with a smile on her face.

I've never seen a castle like this before. If you'd like, can you show me around later?
"Kite ... yes ... a drink ... I'll show you ...

　The words I told her. Perhaps sensing the intentions put into them, Isis-san faintly has tears in her eyes and then smiles happily from her heart.
　After all, I think a smile suits her best........at least when she's with me, I want her to not feel lonely....

"Well Kite you said earlier that you're tired. ...said.
'What?　Oh, yes. A little bit.
Well do you want to take a bath?
A bath, sir?

　Hearing the words that Isis-san told me with a sudden thought, I listen back while tilting my head.

''Well ... when you're tired ... a bath ... is the best thing you can do.''
'Well, yes... hmmm. Then may I take you up on your offer?
Well I'll show you.
Yes, sir.

　I told her I was tired from the long trip, and she seemed to be worried about me, so she suggested that I take a bath and relax.
　To be honest, I was in a hurry a while ago and just said so, but I was glad to see the concern, and since it was a good suggestion, I decided to indulge her.
























''Hmph~''

　After washing myself thoroughly, I soaked in the bathtub and exhaled heavily.

''.......I didn't expect an open-air bath.......I was surprised.

　The scene in front of me was so shocking that I couldn't help but speak to myself.
　The huge bathtub, which seems to have room for a large hall, is located in the part of the castle that juts out like a large veranda, and if you move your gaze, you can see the silvery world and the falling snow.

　I didn't expect to come to another world and take an open-air bath... well, I asked Isis-san, "Open-air bath? It's not as if the bathtub came from another world, but simply built outdoors, as the head was tilted to the side.
　I'm not sure if it's called an open-air bath or not, but it's a trivial matter, and for now I'll let you have a taste of the luxurious moment while looking at this spectacular view.

　The temperature around the bath is definitely below freezing, but you don't feel the freezing wind, but rather a cool breeze that caresses your cheek.
　It's a little nasty, but it's paradise....

　As I was slowly stretching out in the hot tub while thinking like that... I heard a door open... what?

...Kite ... the water ... isn't hot?
...What?

　Wait, wait, wait, wait!　Why can't I hear Mr. Isis' voice!
　Hilarious Hilarious!　Because then it's like...

　Oh, that's right...
　Oh no, I'm not good at this... no matter how unattractive I am, if I start hearing not only delusions but also auditory hallucinations, I'm going to be terminal!
　Maybe it's because I've been unknowingly exhausted... yay, it's in my head!　It's definitely in your head!　I turn around and there's no one there!　No one is....

I'm gonna go in with you.
''HUH?!!!?''

　

　Dear Mom and Dad - I came to visit Mr. Isis's house and got an early bath. The bath at Isis-san's house was an open-air bath, and it was wonderful... but what is the meaning of this situation?　Because, you see - I thought we didn't have a lucky sliver!
