The seventh day of the month of the wind.
　Most of them are emissaries of the nobility, and it's obvious that they have gathered to congratulate me, even if it's just a word of congratulations.......it's a very headache.

　At a party held in the royal castle the other day, I received the Supreme Being's main blessing for the first time in the history of the human world.
　It's now a kind of power, so much so that it has become a kind of authority, and I am without a doubt the most powerful nobleman in this Symphonia Kingdom at present.
　Of course, I don't intend to use the name of Master Klonoa without a second thought, but even if I didn't use the name of Master Klonoa, the other nobles would still see me as a messenger of Master Klonoa.

　That's why, since that party, I've received dozens and dozens of invitations to tea parties and other events, several times more than before.
　Most of them have been disposed of by Luna, but since aristocrats are basically thick-skinned, they haven't decreased at all.
　In this respect, I really envy Kite-san.

　Kite-san's existence is no longer a well-known fact to the nobles.......at the same time, it's a subject that should never be carelessly touched upon.
　In the past, many nobles wrote to Kite-san, but now there are almost no letters from them.......only the occasional modest invitation to a tea party or other event.
　

　Luna is also quite excellent in terms of diplomacy, and she has been very helpful in successfully rejecting invitations and the like, but Phantom King-sama is in a completely different dimension.
　In the first place, Phantom King-sama doesn't even make me send him a letter... He doesn't tolerate any existence that would harm Kaito-san, so after Phantom King-sama joined Kaito-san, the letters didn't come at all.
　And this is what is whispered in the air... apparently, those who tried to send Kite a letter will receive a warning letter from the Phantom King beforehand.

　The text says that if you are trying to communicate with Kaito-san for personal gain, I will not guarantee your life... Yes, if the Phantom King, who has the world's largest and best information network, gives you such a warning, no one will try to oppose you.
　Truly, Kite-san is an extraordinary being........

　Thinking back, Kite-san was different from Aoi-san and Hina-san from the first time I saw her.
　Hmm... Come to think of it, the first words we exchanged were "Could you be quiet for a minute?". I was surprised by that one.
　However, although there was such a part, my only impression at that time was that he was an ordinary person who should be protected.

　But that idea was shattered within a month of Kite's arrival.
　At any rate, he overtook me in a flash.
　Being liked by the Dark Lord, being admired by the Death King, being blessed by the Creation God... this happened in just one month?　He really is a monster already.

　After that, Kite-san's rapid progress didn't stop, he met the World King-sama, brought the God of Fate back home, won a drinking contest with the War King-sama, was given scales by the Dragon King-sama, and finally took the Phantom King-sama under his command.
　Yeah, now that I think about it again, it doesn't make sense anymore.......it's completely out of the realm of common sense.

　Thanks to you, for almost half a year now, I've been in the midst of the chaos without even breathing.......I've already taken nearly a lifetime's worth of stomach pills in this half year. I wish I could take it a little easier.
　If it was simply that, I might have distanced myself from him, saying I didn't want to get involved anymore and I didn't want to be a person like him..............but the real trouble is, I can't dislike Kite-san.

　Kite-san is truly a strange person. She doesn't lecture in a pompous manner, she doesn't use sophistry, she's just straightforward, sincere, and kind...her personality attracts and transforms many people.
　Zeke, Luna, me, and the servants in the mansion....all of them are changing more and more because of Kite's influence.
　And that's not in a bad way, they are smiling more and more than before, and the whole mansion seems to be wrapped in warmth and happiness... I realized that Kite-san is really great.

　Kite-san has done so many miracles for me. She repaired my strained relationship with Zeke and gave me back Zeke's voice and smile, and helped me to settle my past, which was another long-cherished dream of mine.
　He confuses me with many surprises, but at the same time brings me so much happiness... such a strange and kind man.
　When I think about it, it was inevitable that I would fall in love with such a man, Kite....

　After that party, I became completely aware of my feelings for Kaito-san, and because of that, my days of not being able to talk to her have gone on.
　At the age of 23, it's still my first love.
　I can't just keep running away........it's about time I made up my mind, I must have the courage to tell Kaito-san of my feelings....... ...

　However, Kite has been acting a little strange lately, and I'm very worried about that.
　She seems tired and exhausted, she seems very sleepy, and then suddenly she's feeling fine... I want to ask her why, but Kite has recently gone off to take care of Belle and Lynn after breakfast, and she's come back The timing is because I've been holed up in my room for a long time from.......no, that's an excuse.

　There are plenty of times to ask, if you want to, but I was just too embarrassed to have a solid talk with Kaito-san...let's not run away from it.
　Today is my birthday, and it's my intention to have a small celebration with just the people in the mansion, and of course Kite will be there.......I think. If she doesn't come.....then I might cry.









　When I reached the dining room where the birthday party was to be held, I was hovering back and forth in front of the door.
　In my head, I can recall Luna's previous words to me, "I don't have any energy for Kite-san because she's being cold to me.
　Of course I didn't mean that.......but I don't know until I know what Kite-san thinks.......and maybe she hates me.... ...

　While I feel my body tremble as these thoughts come to mind I put my hand on the door and slowly open it, hoping that Kite-san will stay.

''........Huh?　Oh, what?

　When I opened the door, what I saw was a different scene from what I had expected... no, the lavishly decorated interior, etc., was just as I had expected, but...

Why, why...........is Kite 'alone'?
''I'm ... sorry. In fact, I asked Luna Maria-san to speed up the time to tell Lilia-san by an hour.
What?

　Yes, the room was devoid of many servants, Luna, Zeke, Zeke, Aoi-san, and Hina-san.......Kite-san was waiting for me alone.
　After bowing to my astonished me, Kite-san told me that she had asked me to make this situation happen.
　Just time to tell me, an hour early?　Why did you do that?

Oh, um, huh, Mr. Kite?

　Confused by the sudden situation, I look at Kaito-san's face, which has a serious expression on it.
　Huh, I'm relieved to see her usual kind expression, but.......her serious face is also dignified.......what the hell am I thinking!

Mr. Lilia, I need to talk to you about something.
'What?　Uh, uh....

　Looking at Kite's face, my body heats up and I can't speak well.
　　You're complaining to me.
　

　Oh, I need to apologize...

I'll cut to the chase first.
Oh, no, that's... I'm sorry...
I'm very fond of Miss Lilia.
Sen....heh?

　Oh, what?　Wow, have my ears gone crazy?　I think I'm hearing words like "I love you now" or something like that........
　Oh, oh, this must have been extreme tension and stress and I'm hearing auditory hallucinations!　
　
　When this birthday party is over, I'm going to take three days off at a time....

...Lilia?
'What?　Oh, I'm sorry!　I couldn't hear it right...
'Well, so........I like Lilia-san. As a woman.
........................what?

　At that moment, my mind went completely blank.
　And I didn't even have time to think about how this one night.....................would change my relationship with Kaito-san.
