Chapter 271: 271 The conversation with the energetic grandpa I met by chance was over, and as I strolled around the city for a while, 2:00 pm, the time I had promised Mitsunaga-kun is close . In the square where I met with Mitsunaga-kun yesterday, I’m supposed to meet the second princess of the Symphonia Kingdom…… Princess Cattleya . Hmmm, I wonder what kind of person she is? From what I heard, it sounds like she’s a strong-minded person but…… [Hey, Alice . ] [What is it?] [What’s Princess Cattleya like?] [Fumu…… Like this . ] [You’re drawing her!?] In response to my murmur, Alice appeared, and taking out a paper and pen, she drew what seemed to be Princess Cattleya’s face in a smooth, freehand manner . The image looked more like Lilia-san than Amalie-san, with Lilia-san hair in a loose vertical roll and the corners of her eyes were slightly slanted upwards .

U- Unnn . ]
[And add a bit more tsundere in it . ] [Hmmm?] I didn’t really understand it that clearly, but in short, it seems that she has a personality that is similar to Lilia-san’s . At the same time I nodded my head in response to her description, the plaza came into view and Alice disappeared again . When I entered the plaza, I knew right away where Mitsunaga-kun was…… After all, in one corner of the plaza, there was a group of knights in armor that clearly had a different atmosphere compared from the rest…… Visit lightnov__elworld . _com for the best novel reading experience They were probably, or rather, definitely Princess Cattleya and Mitsunaga-kun’s guards…… That’s an awesome number they have . When I met with Mitsunaga-kun yesterday, I felt a few emotions similar to alertness with my Sympathy Magic at a slight distance, so those emotions I felt probably were from the knights who were guarding him out of his sight . As for today though, Princess Cattleya is also meeting up with me, so the number of guards stationed here is probably even greater . I mean, the trouble is, there are so many knights that are guarding them, so I can’t see Mitsunaga-kun and Princess Cattleya, who should be in the middle of their encirclement…… I guess I’ll just approach and talk to the knights huh . As I was thinking that, I approached the group of knights…… but when they sensed my approach, I saw a few of the knights turned vigilant . [……Stop right there, who are you?] [Ah, errr, my name is Miyama Kaito . I had promised to meet Mitsunaga-kun…… the child who plays the role of Hero……] [ !? P- Please accept my apologies! We’ve heard about your meeting, please go ahead……] [Thank you . ] I was anxious that it would turn into that kind of development where they would point their swords at me while shouting something like “You suspicious b*stard!”, but it seems that the conversation properly got through, and the knights immediately led me to the place .

Thereupon, I saw Mitsunaga-kun, and when he saw me, he approached me with a refreshing smile on his face . [Miyama-san!] [Mitsunaga-kun, my bad, am I late?] [No, no, our side just finished a little ahead of our schedule…… I heard that a Supreme God had come to this city right now…… And I don’t know if the senators were tired or not, but they didn’t ask any testing questions in our meeting……] [………………… . ] You really had influence in all sorts of places, Fate-san…… I can’t really imagine it because of how she usually acts, but I guess she’s acting like a proper Supreme God huh? W- Well, it seems that thanks to that, Mitsunaga-kun ended the meeting early and was waiting for me here . [……You must be Miyama-sama, right?]
[Eh? Ah, yes . ] When I turned my head towards the voice that called out my name, I saw an imposing woman standing there . Visit lightnov__elworld . _com for the best novel reading experience Loosely curled bright blonde hair, blue eyes slanting upwards, looking really sharp…… The woman wearing a red dress that looks easy to move around in, yet elegant at the same time, looked like an epitome of a noble, and I immediately knew that she was Princess Cattleya . Princess Cattleya walks up to me and gracefully curtsy . [It’s a pleasure to be your acquaintance, I’m the second princess of the Symphonia Kingdom, bearing the name of Cattleya Lia Symphonia . I have heard about Miyama-sama from my sisters . It’s an honor to meet you like this . ] [I- I’m Miyama Kaito . Please treat me well . ] [Please treat me well too . I have often heard rumors about you…… . That you were close with Underworld King-sama and World King-sama, I’m feeling envious of you . ]
[N- No, that is……] I’d like to say a few things to Alice here…… Where the heck is her resemblance with Lilia-san!? The way they talk is definitely similar, but compared to Lilia-san, who doesn’t look like a noble at all, Princess Cattleya absurdly feels like a noble, and I feel like the atmosphere was really tense, you know!? [Miyama-san, you don’t have to be that nervous . Despite her appearance, Cathy is really kind . ] [Mitsunaga-sama! Haven’t I told you to stop calling me that in public!?] [I- I’m sorry . ] Visit lightnov__elworld . _com for the best novel reading experience [Good grief…… Please excuse me . Miyama-sama, we’ve reserved a seat for us, so we can talk over there . ] [Ah, yes . ] Ahh~~ However, I think the feeling I got when she was scolding Mitsunaga-kun earlier was exactly like when Lilia-san was angry . That look of impatience, rather than rage, on her face is a characteristic of Lilia-san when she’s angry…… Unnn, I felt that way because Lilia-san got angry enough times that I remembered her face while she was mad…… After lightly scolding Mitsunaga-kun, Princess Cattleya pointed at a table at a cafe adjacent to the plaza and suggested that we talk there . I had no reason to refuse, so I nodded and followed Mitsunaga-kun and Princess Cattleya as they started walking to the cafe . [Mitsunaga-sama, you need to be a little more aware of your role as the Hero! You are fuly responsible for each of your words and actions . You need to be very careful with the tone of your voice . ] [C- Cath…… . Princess Cattleya . We’re in front of Miyama-san now, so can you excuse me for now?] [I know that . That’s why I’m letting you get away with just this . ] I have some hunch about it, but it seems that Princess Cattleya has a slightly severe personality .

She seems to be scolding Mitsunaga-kun for calling her by her nickname, and with her sharp, slanted eyes focused on him…… . It looks kind of scary, but it felt like she was complaining out of goodwill towards Mitsunaga-kun . Somehow smiling at seeing such a scene, I tried following behind them——- but at that moment, I felt an unspeakable, unpleasant sensation run down my spine . It was a reflexive action . Just like how I quickly pulled my hand back when I touched a hot pot, I looked back faster than my mind was even aware of . The moment I turned around, my gaze caught sight of the tall clock tower at a considerable distance…… I felt a part of that clock tower “glitter” for a moment…… [ ! ? ] Immediately after, a shimmering sphere passed right by me . There was no time to say a word in that moment, as only my gaze followed that sphere…… . As if time was compressed, I felt like I was looking at it in a slow motion . The sphere headed in a straight line towards Princess Cattleya, with none of the knights around her being able to react…… Mitsunaga-kun alone moved to lay his body to protect Princess Cattleya——— And a burst of light exploded . Dear Mom, Dad———- Even if this world was at peace, even if a lot of people in this world were kind…… Malice still exists everywhere . Along with such thoughts——— we were swallowed in an explosion .
