The first day of the month of the changing wind. In the Duke Albert family's office, the head of the family, Lilia, was processing documents with some sort of restlessness and restlessness.
　Lilia is undoubtedly a talented woman, and she processes paperwork far faster than an ordinary civil servant.......but today she was different from her usual self, and the paperwork wasn't progressing very well, as she seemed to be in a state of restlessness.

''........Miss?　What were you fretting about earlier?
You don't seem to be feeling well...

　Luna Maria, the maid with Lilia, and Sieglinde, who happened to be visiting the room on another matter, called out to worry about Lilia, who was acting strangely.
　Lilia was acting somewhat strange from one of the parties she went out to with Kaito before, but even so, it didn't interfere with her usual work.......but today, it was clear that she felt upset.

　Hearing their words, Lilia stopped her paperwork for a moment and muttered with a worried expression while letting out a big sigh.

''.........I saw Kaito-san this morning, and she seemed to be very tired, but.......maybe, I don't know if she's not feeling well somehow. It's bad, isn't it!
"...and...
''Oh, come to think of it, this world is a different environment than the one you were in, Kite, and I've been unknowingly storing up fatigue...''
...huh.
...What?

　Lunamaria and Sieglinde let out a big sigh when they see Lilia speaking with a restless look on her face.
　And with a dumbfounded expression on her face, Sieglinde calls out to Lilia.

''If you're so worried, why don't you just ask her directly?
'Ugh!　I mean, that's....
''........Oh, maybe because the young lady is being cold, Miyama-sama is depressed and sick. Poor thing.
Oh, no!　I'm not trying to be cold... it's just that... uh... it's... we- it's my fault... What is it?

　

''I don't know if it's because of Lili or not, but.......it's true that you've been avoiding Kite-san lately, right?
No, no, it's not... oh, no, it's not... you know, it's not like I'm avoiding you or anything...
''Totally, I don't know how long you're going to drag out a kiss or two... I know it's awkward, but you could just make up for that by making up for it...''
'Yes, that's true, but........Luna!　How did you know that?

　

''Nothing, nothing, it's too late.......you're not even my fiancé and you're in the habit of dancing three songs in a row with the same man.......''
No, no, it's not... oh, that's the way to get to the exit...
'Anyway, whether you mend or be honest. Don't run away like a child, and have a conversation with Miyama-sama.
Ugh but I'll do my best.

　They looked at Lilia, who shrugged her shoulders as she heard Lunamaria's words and smiled.
　Then Sieglinde went back to work, Lunamaria left the room to make Lilia a cup of tea, and Lilia, who was left alone in the room, shifted her gaze to the window while her cheeks turned slightly red.

''I can't........say......how can it be true.......''

　In fact, Lilia tried to act close to what Lunamaria told her the day after that incident.
　It's a good thing that you're able to get a good deal more than you think you can, because if you're behaving as you normally do, you're not going to have to deal with it. It couldn't be done.
　Because the next day when Lilia tried to exchange words with Kaito as usual, an unexpected situation came to her........

''Well after that day, Kite-san looks even more wonderful than before... and I can't believe I can't see her face properly...''

　So, to tell the truth, Lilia was not the reason that the matter was awkward and avoided pleasant man, but was simply confused by the love for pleasant man that she became aware of after that day.
　After that day, I unconsciously chase a pleasant person with my eyes, and my heart is excited by every gesture of pleasant person, and I came to look for a pleasant person's figure more than before.

...I can't say that now...











　While dragging my heavy body, which was aching muscles all over, I was aiming for a place with Kuro.
　We've gathered most of the materials for the music box we're going to present to Lilia-san, and today we had come to a certain town in the magical world in search of the most important magic crystal for our magic tools.

　At first I tried to get the magic crystal myself, but it seems that mining magic crystals requires a certain amount of skill and is difficult for amateurs, so I decided to buy it honestly.

But it's an amazing city. Especially that big castle...
This city is one of the largest in the Demon World, in case you were wondering~

　Black brought me to the city where the headquarters of the Sedić Magic Tool Trading Association is located. Since the headquarters of the world's largest trade association is located in this city, I could have expected it to be a large city, but I didn't expect to see a huge castle several times larger than the royal castle of the Symphonia Kingdom.

''Huh?　But ... as I recall, there is no country in the demon world, is there not?
Yeah, I do.
So, what about the castle?
'Oh, uh...'

　As I recall, according to what I heard, there is no such thing as a country in the demon world, there are only small and large towns and settlements here and there, but..........................this place feels like the royal capital no matter how you look at it. Well, I guess I just feel that way because of the castle, but.....
　With that in mind, I asked Black for confirmation.......and he scratched his head somewhat crisply.

'..........that's my home........
What?

　That huge castle seems to be Black's home....well, come to think of it, Black is the Sixth King, the pinnacle of the magical world, and the richest man in the world. It's not surprising that he lives in a large castle.

'.........No, I said there was no need for that, but Ein and everyone else built it without permission.......'
'I see... so that's why you looked so delicate when I told you I wanted to go to Black's house...'
''Yeah. Because a big castle like that is so embarrassing...

　Seeing Kuro's embarrassed and embarrassed expression, I felt a fresh sense of cuteness as I walked happily along with various other chit-chat, and this was another large and eye-catching building that came into view.
　Apparently, this is the headquarters of the Sedić Magic Tool Trading Association.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.

'This is a letter of introduction.
'Thank you I'm sure it doesn't have to be too pure?'
''Yeah. The magic tools in the music box don't consume much magic power, so there's no point in buying too many good ones.
Okay.

　This time, I told Kuro in advance that I wanted to do the shopping on my own, and he agreed with me.
　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get an opinion on everything with Kuro, but honestly, if he's with me, I'm afraid I'll be asking for his opinion on everything. Then I want to buy one for myself.
　And actually, I'm trying to secretly prepare them for Kuro and the other lovers, so I don't want them to find out.

Then, while you're shopping I'll go make a new baby sponge cake for you.
Huh?

　I've seen and talked to Black almost every night since I came to this world. Without a doubt, he's the person I talk to the most and spend the most time with in this world.
　He loves baby sponge cakes, and every night he brings me a different flavor of baby sponge cakes, and the number of baby sponge cakes I've eaten has been staggering.

　And I don't know when it happened........but through my days in this world, I've awakened to a special ability.
　That ability is........what a limited future prediction!　You could call it super intuition - an ability that would be called the Sixth Sense in movies.
　I shudder to think that I've acquired a terrifying ability, even if I did.

'....Black, wait!
"Huh?
What are you going to use to make it this time?
"...what?　It's called 'Tabasco' in Mr. Kite's world.
Stop it!　Get something else!
'What?　

　That's right, my precognition ability is that I can detect whether the new baby sponge cake that Kuro makes is surprisingly delicious or a ghetto type.
　This is an ability that has been cultivated through many years of experience. As a result of going through hell many times, my intuition has evolved to avoid critical situations.

　It's really frightening to see how Kuro will make things like teriyaki sauce poured all over the place, or a heap of mayonnaise if you don't stop him in advance.
　In fact, for the first few months, I felt like I was being forced to play Russian roulette every day... but now that I have this ability, I can avoid it one out of three times!
　Yeah, but there's nothing you can do about it because there are things you can't do.......like making two kinds of food and Black won't tell you about them without telling me......you can't avoid them all.

　The only thing I can think of is that human beings are creatures that evolve and break out of their shells when they encounter a crisis. As a result of the many difficulties I've encountered in this world and the experiments I've had to go through, I think I've acquired the Sixth Sense....
