You take a step or two, aware that you are taking a somewhat hurried step. Whether this path I am on is right or wrong... One can predict the future, but one cannot determine it.
　It's always when you get there that you find out if the path you've taken was the right one or not.
　And now there was a huge wall standing in front of me. The wall, formed by the intertwining of beautiful flowers, is supposed to be beautiful, but to me now, it's just a ruthless reality that stands in the way.

　Slowly I look backwards and see Mr. Lilliwood with a gentle smile on his face. Even Liliwood-san's gentle smile is now somewhat teasing, and she opens her mouth, feeling a sense of defeat at that.

''........Mr. Lillywood please give me a 'hint'.
I think it's best to turn back to the blue flower road before you turn three times.''
Ugh, is that so much...

　Hearing Lilliwood's words, I start to return to the path I just came from, slumping my shoulders in a gulp.
　This is my third U-turn........hmmm, this is going to be harder than I imagined, isn't it?　I thought it would be easier to finish.

Well, it's a lot bigger than I imagined.
'Yes, this is one of the highlights of the show.

　Currently I was taking on one of the attractions, the Flower Labyrinth - a labyrinth of flowers.
　It's a huge maze built around a variety of flowers with large growing stems, where you can challenge yourself while looking at the various flowers and enjoying their pleasant scents.
　But it was like a maze that was made rather seriously, and was quite difficult to navigate... and we had hit a dead end many times before.

　By the way, since Lilliwood-san knows the answer, he doesn't interfere and only gives me a hint when I ask for it.

''Come to think of it, the flowers in this blue passage are a beautiful color.
''This flower is called the Blue Moon Flower, a flower that grows in the western part of the demon world. It's a flower that only blooms at night.
It's a little before noon now, isn't it?
It's a special procedure that allows him to perceive only this area as night.
"Hmm, I see.
"The opportunity to see it in such a bright light is a rare thing.

　They say there aren't many opportunities to see the deep blue flowers that are round like a full moon. When I heard that, I felt like I was having a very precious experience. Let's take a closer look at it.
　There were some rare flowers with very fine petals in the front aisle, and they were fun to look at. When I was in Japan, I didn't have much opportunity to look at the flowers, but it's nice to do so.

'....The maze is difficult, but it's fun to see all kinds of flowers like this. Of course, it's only with Liliwood-san there to explain it to me...
'I'm glad to hear that. Now, shall we get lost a few more times to look for unusual flowers?'
"...I'd like to watch the process go smoothly if I could...
"Hmm.

　The mazes are a struggle, but the banter is fun to exchange, and the laid-back atmosphere is quite pleasant.
　I hope you don't conquer all the roads after getting lost, but if it's this much fun, hitting a dead end a few more times... it's not so bad.








　I want to punch myself in the face for the 'two hours' I was thinking about.

'....Ya, finally, the goal.
'Congratulations. You're almost 80% done walking.

　No, of course, we didn't walk for two hours straight, as we stopped along the way to look at the flowers and Liliwood explained to us, but we were pretty lost.
　It was partly because it was pretty huge to begin with, but there were other reasons why it took me so long to get there. I don't know who made the maze - I don't know who made the maze - but there were quite a few dead ends as a result of walking for a very long time, like the second half of the day... and I think it was made pretty nasty.

''.........I don't think it was possible, but who made this maze.......Lillywood-san?''
No, I didn't have much experience with that sort of thing so I asked Chartier to help me.
...Oh, I see........

　It's the worst pick of people imaginable.

'You must be tired after walking around, right?　It's a good time, and we'll have lunch in the square a little further on.'
'Oh, yes. I agree.
'Do you have any food ready, Kite?　If you don't have one, we'll go to the area where the stall is located first...
'Oh, no problem. Mr. Isis made my lunch for me.
'Right, well, let's move on then.

　I nodded at the grateful suggestion and moved with Liliwood to the plaza.

　Although it was just lunchtime, many participants still seemed to be moving to the area where the stalls were lined up, and the square was relatively empty.
　I found a large bench in the middle of it and sat down, and opened the lunchbox that Aisis-san had given me.

''........Oh.''

　I couldn't help but hear that. It was a very cute bento that appeared. The onigiri, which were probably made for me because I love rice, were in the shape of a heart and had various ingredients. There was even a mini hamburger steak, one of my favorites, and sausage sausage cut into the shape of an octopus.
　It looks very tasty, but even more than that, I could tell from the look of it that a lot of time and effort... and a lot of love was put into making it, and it somehow warmed my heart.

''I don't know much about the food, but it's very beautiful.''
Yes.

　I nodded at Liliwood-san's words while being moved.

　 The fact that such a kind and wonderful person is my lover made me realize that I am really - a lucky person.
