The Kingdom of Symphonia, Duke Albert's house.
　She has dull, habitual medium hair and black eyes. The girl, petite like a child dressed in the provided maid's uniform, could be said to be strange to look at.

　Her black eyes were staring into the void as if they were blurred, their focus seemed unfocused, and if you only look at her expression, it could be said to be eerie.
　However, the girl wasn't acting particularly suspicious, and was silently cleaning the room with a familiar hand.
　The window was wiped down thoroughly twice, and the way she carefully cleaned the small areas without leaving a single dust mark was an atmosphere of a skilled maid, which was a terrible mismatch to her appearance.

　After finishing the entire cleaning process, the girl brings out a brand new sheet and goes about making the bed. After finishing beautifully arranging the bed without missing even the slightest wrinkle in the sheets, she puts a single fresh-smelling flower in the flower vase on the table for the last time before leaving the room.

　
　She had volunteered to make the bed and clean the room of Kaito since the first time Kaito came to the house.
She is a friendly servant to Kaijin from the beginning, which was valuable when he first came to the mansion, and she is a frequent conversationalist with Kaijin.
　He is not strong in assertiveness and often devotes himself to the backstage, so he is not conspicuous in the house, but he is an excellent servant whom the head of the house, Lilia, trusts.

　Such Illness, after finishing cleaning Kaito's room, went out into the yard and headed to the hut where Belfred and Lindblum were.

''........Belfred, Lindblum, it's time for dinner.
Gawd!
Cui!

　She is excellent, and she is very dependent on Kaito, and is often asked to take care of Bellefried and Lindblum when Kaito is away.
　This time, too, she was taking care of the two animals in place of Kaito, who was participating in the Sixth King Festival, and the two animals missed her in their own way.

I'll come back to collect the containers when I've finished eating.

　After telling the two animals in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek tone, Illness leaves the hut to go to his next task.
　It's not a particularly unusual scene in the Duke Albert's family, it's the usual scene. Illness also proceeded to his feet with his usual movements, and was about to return to the mansion........................when he stopped at the sound of the talking that he heard.

''Don't you think so?　What in the world does the young lady like about a soft man like that....
No, they don't all have to be armed like you...
Really?　No, but ... I still don't think that man is worthy of the wonderful young lady, but ...

　The chatter being exchanged by the security personnel. After listening to it for a bit, Illness returned to the mansion as if nothing had happened.

'Anyway, I admit--goho!
Hey, what's going on?
No, no, I'm sorry. I'm just coughing... geez...
'You don't look so good, do you?　I think you've got a cold or something.
'Yeah, maybe........I'm feeling a little.......'








　Illness walks down the quiet corridor with a slow gait.



　The voice fell out of her mouth.

But if you're going to stay in bed, you'll be fine...

　While spilling out a characteristic laugh, Illness smiled grimly. The unfocused black eyes even looked like bottomless darkness.
　After a little while, the smile disappears from Illness's mouth and returns to an eerie expression.

　And just as he was about to move on to his next destination, Irunes stopped when he heard a voice out of nowhere.

''.........Listen as it is, Chartier-sama's orders....
What?　'Astaroth'?

　It was voiced by the Phantom King, one of the ten cadres of the Phantom King Corps, commonly known as the "Ten Demons", one of the two-named, county-level demons... the "False Image Snitch", who is also a baronet-level official. It was Astaroth.


A muster?　Why?
Hey, I'm not informed of this. Anyway I'm telling you, come on pandemonium.

　With those words, Astaroth seems to have left, and silence settles over the corridor once again.



After muttering to himself, Illness........no, pandemonium began to walk down the corridor again.

''..........the central tower of the Sixth King Festival site.......and 'Lord Kite' is there too.......maybe I should bring some food.... ...kuhihi, kuhihihihihihi.
