Chapter 247 I Feel Like I Got to Know Lillywood-san Better (2/2)

“……Kaito-san. Aren’t you giving it to the wrong person? I haven’t helped you in any way that would warrant your gratitude, you know?”

[No, that’s not the case! Thanks to Lillywood-san, I was able to make really great music boxes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.]

“……H- However…… You took the time and effort to make it…… If you find good women out there, wouldn’t it be better to give it to them? I’m a “tree”, so to speak. I don’t think it would be appropriate of me to have such a nice item……”

I can tell from Lillywood-san’s tone of voice that she’s being very reserved about it but…… Since I made this music box for Lillywood-san, giving it to anyone else isn’t an option, and if I were to do that, it would be disrespectful to Lillywood-san and the one I would supposedly give this music box to.

Or rather, calling herself a tree…… It’s true that Lillywood-san is the spirit of the World Tree, but even if she says that she’s a tree, she hardly looks any different from a human……

[……I think Lillywood-san is a beautiful, lovely lady though.]

“P- Please stop teasing me…… There’s no benefit, flattering a tree like me.”

[No, I’m being serious. That’s what I think from the bottom of my heart.]

“!? ……I- Is that so…… You’re quite the weird one, aren’t you?”

When I straightforwardly told her that these words I said were from my heart, Lillywood-san’s cheeks turned a bit red and she looked troubled again.

“……It would be rude to refuse too stubbornly, isn’t it…… Yes. Well then, undeserving it might be of me…… I will gratefully accept Kaito-san’s kindness.”

[Yes.]

“……How should I say this… You’re quite the troubling human, aren’t you?”

[……Eh? What does that mean?]

Lillywood-san, who receives the music box from me with a look of resignation on her face, speaks with a slightly wry smile, but not understanding the meaning of what she said, I tilted my head.

Thereupon, Lillywood-san somewhat gave me a happy smile before continuing to speak.

“……I think I can understand why Isis likes you…… i- is what I mean.”

[ . . . . . . ? ? ]

“Fufufu, no, please don’t worry about it…… Thank you for the music box. I feel really happy about Kaito-san’s thoughtfulness.”

[Ah, yes.]

I didn’t really quite understand what she meant, but it seems like Lillywood-san is having fun, so I guess that’s good…… Or rather, so Lillywood-san could smile like that huh.

The usual gentle smile she had is nice, but I think she looks much more attractive, seeing her smiling happily like this.

“……I can’t just send you back home like this, can I? It isn’t very much, but Kaito-san, I’ll have lunch prepared for you, so please eat.”

[……Errr, in that case, I’ll be presuming upon you then.]

“Yes. Ahh, also…… Please take this.”

[……This is…… a flower?]

When I heard Lillywood-san’s words about having lunch, I realized that it was just around lunchtime and I was getting hungry, so I decided to take advantage of her kindness.

Thereupon, Lillywood-san… I wonder if she used Spatial Magic? Anyway, a green ripple appeared in the air, and she took out a small pink flower from it and handed it to me.

“……Based on the language of flowers, it’s a flower that brings happiness. I think it’s perfect for you.”

[T- Thank you.]

“Well then, I still have lots of things to deal with, so please excuse me…… I’ll come back again after you finish lunch.”

[Yes, please do your best with your work.]

“Thank you.”

Lillywood-san somehow seemed to be happy as she said that and left.

Dear Mom, Dad——– I gave Isis-san and Lillywood-san music boxes to thank them for their help. And in a way, I guess you could say that it’s a big change, as after talking to her like this, it may just be a little bit——— but I feel like I got to know Lillywood-san better.

Here’s one setting that I’m sure everyone has forgotten about.

As told in the Sacred Tree Festival Arc, it’s a sign of affection for the spirits to give what they have picked themselves.

Now then, here’s one thing I forewarned everyone about, the capture in Chronois’s Arc.

A Festival of Heroes for our heroines…… In short, there are two types of heroines: the heroine who became his lover before the end of the novel, and the heroines who became his lover in the after story, after the end of the novel.

Kuro, Isis, and the others were of the former, while Chronois will be on the latter. Chronois’ Arc will be the story of Chronois, awakening her love for Kaito.

In a simple image, the heroines who has a clear love interest in Kaito at the present time develops. On the contrary though, the heroines who don’t develop to a love interest, even though she thinks favorably of Kaito at the present time, would be written in the story that would be added to the after story.

In other words, Chronois doesn’t officially become his lover until after Kaito captures the main story’s last boss, Shiro.

It’s totally unrelated, but after Chronois’ Arc, I’m planning to have a Hina Arc.
