Chapter 112 - It Seems that She Got that Information from Somewhere

After I finished telling them my story, Lilia-san puts down the cup of tea she was drinking and exhales.

[I see, so let me get this straight, Kaito-san was going to have a meal together with this Alice-san person but ended up going to the monster racetrack in the Archlesia Empire where you earned over 400 white gold coins and happened to buy the Behemoth And afterward, you were invited to the royal castle of Archlesia Empire as a guest of honor.]

[Y- Yes.]

[Ahhh, my head hurts Luna, it seems like my hangover is getting worse. I understood what the words mean, but its like my head is completely denying to understand it]

[No, Im afraid that headache is from something else.]

Lilia-san holds her head in her hands as she looks down.

Indeed, even when Im the one who told that, I also couldnt believe it We were supposed to just be going to eat yesterday, but before I knew it, lots of things suddenly happened.

[Ive had enough Kaito-sans scary]

[My Lady. It may have turned big, but I doubt he intends to do that himself Anyway, Miyama-sama.]

[Yes?]

[I think I heard that theres a game that spread from the world Miyama-sama is from]

[A game? What is it?]

[Yes, its that game called lottery. You should come with me next time.]

[oi, Luna.]

How should I say this Lunamaria-san is still acting as she usually is.

Surprisingly, I think this person would closely get along with Alice, in the sense that both of them are no-good people

[Anyway, Lilia-san. Can I request this of you? Can you put Bells matter aside? Of course, Ill pay for his food and other stuff.]

[Hmmm. Indeed, that child was quite attached to Kaito-san, and I dont think he would be a danger but However]

[Isnt it fine, My Lady?]

[Luna!?]

When it comes to Behemoths that are even called legendary magical beasts, as expected, even Lilia-san wouldnt give her permission immediately.

Anyway, I need to sincerely request her that is what I thought, but an expected covering fire flew out of nowhere.

[If its Miyama-sama, he should be able to take good care of it. And even if you were to refuse, you cant just throw out the Behemoth in the middle of nowhere and hope it doesnt know the way home, right?]

[Thats certainly true but]

[Fortunately, its still a baby, so it wouldnt grow to be so enormous in a few years or decades.]

[That certainly is the case. Alright Kaito-san, you would have him sleep in the stables for the meantime, but well have an exclusive shed for him in the future.]

[Thank you very much!]

[However, I have one condition.]

[A condition?]

With Lunamaria-sans help, Lilia-san finally allowed me to keep Bell.

As I said my thanks, Lilia-san has a wry smile on her face when she told me that she has a condition.

[Bellfreeds food and the cost for the construction of his shed Ill be the one paying for it.]

[Eh? No, but]

[I wont yield on this one Let me return the favors every once in a while.]

[Return the favors?]

Hearing Lilia-sans words, I significantly tilted my head.

Lilia-san returning favors to me? Isnt it the other way around? If someone has favors to pay, it should be me since Ive always been in her care. Even though I always brought her troubles

[Im grateful to you, Kaito-san. Thanks to Kaito-san, I the two goals I promised myself when I received my peerage Ive come closer to making them happen.]

[Eh?]

[Your presence here is more valuable than you realize, Kaito-san Because youre staying here. That single point alone has given Albert Duchy the voice that rivals or even surpa.s.ses those of any great n.o.bles.]

[Does that help your goals in any way, Lilia-san?]

What are Lilia-sans two goals? I think I know one of them thats shes trying to get Sieg-sans voice back.

However, I cant imagine her second goal. From Lilia-sans expression and the way she said it, I can somehow imagine that this is a long-cherished goal but

[One of them is as Kaito-san may have guessed, to get Siegs voice back. This has been put on hold due to Siegs own wish. While the other one is The culprit who fed false information to the 2nd division back then. I want to find that out.]

[.]

[The person who can switch the information that Knight Corps had it would probably be a n.o.ble with quite a bit of power. Putting aside even when I was still part of royalty, even if I have this peerage of mine, even if I had found out who did it, they would have just laughed it off In order to make them pay for their crimes, I would have to be an important voice for the country And I need the power of a n.o.ble for that.]

[Ummm, about that culprit]

[I still dont have any idea at this time. I may not even find it but I will still keep looking.]

Strong words told with certainty and determination.

The ent.i.ty that once gave false information to Lilia-sans unit and caused Sieg-san to lose her voice.

It must be Lilia-sans longest wish to find this out.

[Its not that I intended for this right from the start, and I feel really sorry that Im using the power that Kaito-san has given me but I still thank you from the bottom of my heart. I cant thank you enough, especially for letting me meet Chronois-san.]

[I dont know what to say about that one but. Im glad if Im able to help Lilia-san, even if its just by accident.]

[Really, thank you very much. Thats why, even if its just this much, please allow me to return the favor.]

[Yes. Thank you very much.]

Exchanging glances with Lilia-san, we thanked each other feeling some sense of embarra.s.sment.

As if she was embarra.s.sed, her face still red, Lilia-san turns to Lunamaria-san to switch the conversation.

[Even so, for Luna to side with Kaito-san so strongly Are you up to something?]

[.H- Hahaha, dont say something stupid]

[Shes up to something.]

[No, its not that exaggerated Its just that I want to discuss something with Miyama-sama]

[Discuss?]

I also felt she was somehow acting strange, but it seems that Lunamaria-san had some purpose when she sided with me.

Im very uneasy, but thanks to Lunamaria-san, Im able to keep Bell, so lets listen to what she wants for the time being.

[From the information I received, I heard that Underworld King-sama is developing a new magic tool right now So, well, Id really like to buy it if I could and I was hoping to ask Miyama-sama to help]

[A- Alright.]

[Thank you very much!]

Where the heck did this zealot get this information from!?

The magic tool Kuro is making is probably the calculator I asked her before But I havent told anyone about it, so how did Lunamaria-san get that information?

Could it be that theres some kind of strange network among Kuros followers?

Dear Mom, Dad Lilia

-san allowed me to keep Bell. That was partly due to the help of Lunamaria-san but it seems that Lunamaria-san got the information about Kuro making the calculator It seems that she got that information from somewhere.

==================================================================================

By the way, Lilia and Chronois have been good friends since they got to know each other, and they would occasionally listen to each others complaints.

Recently, after the invasion of the G.o.d of Fate, they were complaining about Kaito.
