As we entered the city where the Six Kings Festival was held, our... well, no, Black came running up to me with an angelic smile on his face.
　The "Who's that guy?" stabbing from around me. And two kinds of "Oh, he's the one rumored to be...." stares. The location is also bad. There are quite a few people in this place, which is right near the gate, so there are a lot of eyes pouring in.
　........I feel like a panda in a zoo.

　While feeling like escaping reality, as I wave back to Kuro who runs up to me, Lunamaria-san crouches down near me.

''........precious.''

　...Can someone please take me to this crappy maid hospital?　I'm holding my nose and crying........
　Black didn't care about such a reaction from Luna Maria, and when she came near, she slowed down a bit and hugged me.

''Ehehe, I couldn't resist, so I came to see you. Kite, come here.
Uh-huh.

　........cute. This thing is already spectacularly cute.
　It's so cute that it can obliterate a lot of stares into oblivion. Oh, no, that's a lie. I'm really worried about the stares. Or rather, I'm too embarrassed to be embarrassed.

''.........So, then, Kite, I'm sure you have something to talk about with the Dark Lord, so we'll go ahead and.......''
'Miss Lilia!　You're not just going to abandon me, are you?　You're not trying to sacrifice me to get away from all this attention!
It's your fault, isn't it?

　Lilia-san tries to break away from the scene while her eyes swim to my point.
　The others, perhaps thinking that their lives were in danger of interfering with Kuro, who can be said to be at the height of tension, had begun to move quickly while I was appealing to Lilia-san.

　But then, surprisingly, Black let go of his hug and spoke to Lilia-san.

'Ah, Lilia-chan. Hold on, I have something to call you about.
'What?　Are you calling, sir?
Yeah. Well, Shah I should have asked No Face to do it, but I wanted to see you, Kite, so I came to tell you.

　Black stops her and asks back with trepidation, Lilia-san stops her and asks back, Black keeps smiling and takes out a card about the size of a letter out of nowhere.

''Lilia-chan and the others all have different ranks of invitations, right?
Uh, yes.
'Normally, I think I heard that the accommodations would change for each rank, but in a discussion among the Sixth King, it was unanimously decided to give him 'special treatment' because he's an acquaintance of Kaito-kun.
Well it's an honor to be here.
'Yes. And I've made 'Lilia-chan's private lodging facility' at the place on the card, so everyone can stay there.
...What?

　Hearing Black's words, Lilia-san's expression is so stunned that it's easy to understand.
　That's just as well. The Sixth King went out of his way to build a new accommodation facility for us.....

''Oh, by the way, I've 'deployed' about 300 'personal servants', but if you're short, just tell me, okay?
Huh?
We've got a great chef on board, and the ingredients are 'top of the line', so take your time and enjoy.
....

　Oh no, Lilia-san is on the verge of a short circuit. She didn't expect to be greeted with VIP treatment from the Sixth King to this extent.
　Her mouth is crunching and stiffening like a fish on land.
　I mean, can everyone else stay in the same place except me........

''........Ku, Black. I'll be in that accommodation too........
No.
Yes.

　It was a powerful and unmistakable NO.
　I was disappointed and shrugged my shoulders, but words of support flew in from unexpected places.

'Meh, Pluto-sama, with all due respect.......wouldn't it be easier for you, Miyama-kun, if you were with the others?'
Well, if it's just for one day or so...
"...Mr. Ray, Mr. Fear....

　I'm still shrinking back from Black, but he advises me to stay at least one day where everyone else is.
　What nice people! Until now, I've misunderstood Ray and Fia's situation.

I don't know. I'm fine with that, but are you guys okay with that?
Well, uh, what do you mean by that?

　Surprisingly, Assari tells Kuro that he's fine with that, but something about his expression is subtle.
　When Ray-san, wondering about this, asks, Kuro opens his mouth after looking around at Lilia-san and the others.

'..........where Kite-kun stays.......Isis is coming?
Come on, people!　The Sixth King has gone out of his way to provide accommodation for us. Let's head there as soon as possible!
Yes, let's do it!

　
　Lilia-san and the others are nodding their heads like nodding dolls............Ugh, yeah. The only way to do that is to give up on staying at Lilia-san's place.






　After giving a firm greeting to Kuro, everyone headed to the accommodation facility, while I was heading to the central tower with Kuro, who had taken over the guidance from Caraway-san.
　Well, aside from everyone else, I'm staying in such a huge central tower, I feel like I can get there without any guidance.

And by the way, Black?　Lilia and the others' accommodations looked amazing, but... are there a lot of servants and stuff at the place I'm staying too?

　I ask Black, who was happily holding my hand and walking around with a big smile on his face, smiling.
　The scale of Lilia-san's and others' accommodations, with 300 servants.......that would be tremendous, but I'm worried that it's even more outrageous than that in my case.
　It's kind of hard for me, a small citizen, to stay alone in a place where there are so many unknown servants.

''Nope. There's only one resident at the place you're staying, Kite.
'What?　Really?　That's a relief, but ... surprising.
I don't need anyone else. Kite's personal assistant is 'Ain'.
Yeah, yeah. It all makes sense now.

　 Because it's Ayn-san. Just by having Ayn-san, the highest level of treatment in the world is already guaranteed.

''Hey, Kaito-kun.
Yeah?
Do you want to go out with me for a little while, after I show you where you'll be staying?
That's fine, but where are you going?
That's a surprise when we get there!

　That said, Kuro was impossibly cute, smiling like a child whose prank had succeeded.
　To be honest, I'm really looking forward to being able to relax with Kuro, since he's been busy preparing for the Sixth King Festival lately.
　But, well, it would be nice if we could have a place that doesn't attract too much attention....

　Dear Mom and Dad - I leave Lilia and the others and head for the central tower while Kuro leads me there. I still don't know the details of what kind of place I'm going to be staying at... well, but when that superhuman maid is the resident maid--they're going to be treated like a ridiculous VIP.
