166-I was scolded by Lilia






Welcome. I'm Lilia Alberto, Duke of Alberto, head of the family.
Well, uh, Acht, what do you want me to say?
I don't know... I'm sorry, sir. This guy and I aren't very well bred. I don't mean to be rude, but you'll have to cut me some slack.
No, please make yourself comfortable.

 It took quite some time, but Noin-san settled down and once again took him to the reception room where Lilia-san was waiting.
 Although Achtcht and the others are Black's family, they don't seem to be a high-ranking demon clan, and apparently Lilia-san, who is a duke, is higher in position than them.
 Noin-san quickly stepped forward from beside Achtung and Eva, who were speaking with a somewhat nervous look, and bowed deeply to Lilia-san.

''His Excellency Duke Albert, please forgive me for the rudeness of greeting you while dressed in armor. It is my first time to meet you. Lady Crom Eina is my vassal, my name is Noin. I can't express my gratitude to His Excellency Duke Alberto for his kindness in accepting me today despite my unexpected visit.
Well that's not really how you're supposed to say hello...
You were right to bring Noon at the right time.

 Unlike the two Acht and Eva, Noyn-san firmly greets Lilia-san with a posture on one knee that can be described as a knight's courtesy... she looks like a different person than she did a moment ago.
 Lilia-san calmly replies to Noyn-san's greeting and tells her that it's fine to ease her posture, and Noyn-san releases her bow.

 Then, when Ahato and the others take their seats, prompted by Lilia-san, Lunamaria-san tells them with great emotion.

''........How can I say, it's been a great long time since the young lady has a higher position than the visitors, isn't it? Since she's a duke, she should be quite great, but.......
It's already..............................it's all over, right? You don't have to bring an awesome person with you to faint anymore! I shouldn't, I'm.......nervous......
....

 Seeing Lilia-san, who looks relieved from the bottom of her heart and has a bright smile on her face, sweat runs down my back at a tremendous rate.
 What should I do........should I tell her about Noyn-san or not.......

"Hey, Kite what the hell did you do? That duke, he looks like he's been released from hell...
Oh, no, uh...
........Oh, um, Kaito-san......should I tell him who I am?
...Well, you don't mind?
...Yeah, I'm fine.

 As I listened to the words of Acht and Noin-san who spoke to me in a whisper, I felt an even colder sensation run down my spine.
 By the way, it's an aside, but Noyn-san seems to know that I'm the first brave man... or rather, Noyn-san seemed to think that she was aware of me when I first showed her my face.

 
 In that case, after all, it's the right thing to do to be honest here.......and Noin-san has said he doesn't mind....

"...Mr. Noin, I'm sorry. Please.
Okay.

 Seeing Lilia-san's face that is too relieved, I savored the sensation of my blood draining away, and moistened my thirsty throat with tea before opening my mouth.

''Ah, um, Lilia-san........''
Yes?
...Okay, okay, calm down and listen to me.
"...what? What is it? I have a very bad feeling about this...
'I ask you to do the same. Please don't tell anyone else about this...
"...what? Well Mr. Noin? What the hell are you...

 Hearing me and Noin-san's words of seriousness, Lilia-san's expression becomes cloudy and a ray of sweat runs down her forehead.
 In front of Lilia-san and the others, when Noin-san touched the helmet of the armor, the armor turned into a black mist and disappeared, and a Japanese woman with beautiful black hair appeared.
 If Aoi's hair is a glossy wet feather color, then Noin-san's hair is a deep, powerful black like obsidian, and combined with her well-defined face, the word "Yamato Nadeshiko" fits perfectly.

 And looking at Noin-san with her bare face.......Lilia-san rolled off her chair.

''........''

 Then slyly crawled on the ground and grabbed Luna Maria's skirt tightly.

''.........Luna, Lunaa......I've seen that man before......he has the same face as the statue in the friendly city.... ...
...Oh, oh, don't panic, miss, you're just pretending to be someone else.
''That's right! I'm sorry I'm so distracted.

 

''I would like to change my name to Noin now, but my real name is Kujo Hikaru.
....

 Hearing the words told forcefully, the expression disappeared from Lilia-san's face.

''........Eh? Kudohikari ... what? The first brave man? Really?
Yes, sir.

Miss!

 Lilia-san's expression turned bluer and bluer, her eyes began to turn and she collapsed like a threadbare doll.
 Lunamaria-san hurriedly rushed to Lilia-san's side and slowly turned her shivering gaze to me.

''.........Miyama-sama.......What a horrible person you are to still have the cards hidden away. I felt your passionate conviction to destroy the young lady's stomach at all costs.
Well no, I don't have that belief.














 After a while, Lilia-san, who had recovered from her faintness, sat on a chair and held her head in her hands.

''........The first hero-sama had become a demon race? Isn't that a big deal........and a shocking fact........oh no......I'm scared, Kite.... Next time, I'll bring a living demon king or something like that to your house... or maybe even a living demon king... or something like that... Mr. Kite, I'm scared... I want to go home....
Calm down, miss, you're home.

 Lilia-san mutters with a buzzing, pale face, and Lunamaria-san desperately comforts her.
 As I'm stunned by such a scene, Ahto and the others come to talk to me.

''.........Kite, what did you really do......you're scared like a little animal......''
No, no, well, a lot of things...
Kite is actually an S...
No, it's not...
''I didn't expect to be so surprised either... but rather, that reaction was like meeting all six kings... no, it's more than that.
....

 I'm sorry, not only did I meet all six kings, I also met all the Supreme Gods.

 And then Lilia-san mumbles as it is, and then quickly gets up from her chair.......................and smiles horribly beautiful smile.

''Acht-sama, Eval-sama, Kujohika.......no, Noin-sama. I'm sorry, but please wait a moment....Kite.
Ha, yes!
"...let's go to the other room for a moment. There's something very important I have to tell you that is very, very important.
Hi.

 Lilia-san staring at me with completely seated eyes, very frightening.

 And I was taken to another room without even a chance to argue...and I had to sit upright.

''What do you mean?! What happened to the first hero! You really.... or rather, you knew that way of speaking long before you did!
I'm sorry!
'No, today, this day, I will not allow it! A few minutes ago, I asked you to forgive me and now you're going to eat your tongue before it's dry! I'm not asking you not to get to know each other, I'm asking you to report it properly! To begin with, you have always been--
I'm sorry.

 And I had to receive a very long sermon from Lilia-san, who had turned into a shura, and I returned to Achtung and the others...two hours later.

 Dear Mother, Father - Acht and the others and Lilia-san met, and when Lilia-san found out who Noin-san was, she fainted again. And, well, it was perfectly my fault - Lilia-san scolded me.
