Infinite Gacha - Chapter 247

I successfully passed the test (some would say it was just an accusation) of the first prince of the racial kingdom, Claw, and received a "No problem for escort" pass.

As we moved from the training ground to the discussion hall with Lilith leading the way, the claw and the soldiers looked at me as if they were looking at a different kind of separated being.

Although those gazes were not important to me, there were some mixed in with the gazes that would not be very pleasant for a normal person.

Ignoring their stares, we quickly moved on.

The place we headed for was ...... Lilith's private room.

undefined...... princess, please stop playing around.

Nono, get out of the way. You cannot enter my room.

As the head of the ...... maid, I cannot allow the gentleman to enter the private chambers of the princess.

In front of Lilith's private room, a woman named Nono, who claims to be the head maid, repeatedly presses Lilith.

Nono, the head maid, has a valid point.

A man enters the room of a girl of her age.

And on the female side is Lilith, the first princess of a racial kingdom. If she had a fiancée, this could have become a problem, and the engagement could have been broken off.

However, Lilith does not listen to the opinion of Nono, the head maid, and forces her way in.

Lilith, however, did not listen to her maid-in-chief Nono's opinion and went ahead with the plan. And if I say private room, it would be a problem if it were a bedroom, but we are just going to have a talk in the living room. And in order to avoid any further interference from your brother or others in this matter, I would like to discuss the escort in my private room. This is a matter of my own safety, so I cannot cut corners. Therefore, in the name of Lilith, First Princess of the Kingdom of the Races, I command you once again. Nono, get out of the way."

............"

On the other hand, Lilith's opinion was also convincing.

If she went into the bedroom as she said, it would be a problem, but if she were to receive guests in the living room, she would just barely have an excuse.

Above all, the "Black Clown" party includes not only men but also a woman, Nemmu, so it is easy to make excuses even if someone else points out the problem.

Also, since the private room is Lilith's domain, the possibility of interference is much lower than in other meeting rooms.

She has taken this into consideration when proposing that the meeting be held in her private office.

When the name of Lilith, the first princess of the Kingdom of Races, was mentioned, it was difficult for Nono to resist further and she silently withdrew.

Fake Yume opens the door and takes Lilith inside.

She moved with us to the living room.

Everyone, please take your seats. Nono, you are not to come in until I call out to you."

'...... Princess, we cannot serve our guests satisfactorily if you keep us away from them. Please allow us to remain.

Yume will take care of our guests, so don't worry. Don't embarrass me any further."

....... My apologies.

Nono bows and leaves the room with all the maids except the fake Yume.

After confirming that the girls have left the room, she asks Nemmu.

Nemmu."

......The maids from earlier seem to be spying on us outside the door, but they are far enough away that I don't think they can hear us as long as we talk to them normally. There are other signs of people spying on us, but they are far enough away that it's not a problem.

Thanks. In the meantime, "R, silent", "R, detect", "SR, magic jamming", release.

After checking with Nemum, I finished soundproofing with the benefit (gift) "Infinite Gacha" card and checking for eavesdroppers, watchers, magic items of that kind, etc.

Now that this living room is clean, there is no problem to step in and talk about it.

I sit down on the sofa and remove my mask.

The maid-in-chief from earlier is a spy connected to the demon nation, isn't she?

I'm embarrassed to say that ....... Several of the other maids were spies from other countries. Thanks to you, the only person I can truly trust now is Yume-chan, whom I created with a card given to me by Mr. Wright.

As I removed my mask, Lilith realized that it was okay to tell me her true feelings, and she sat down on the front sofa across the table from me.

Nemmu and Gold stand behind me and place the tea that Fake Yume had already prepared in a pot in front of me and Lilith.

When she finished placing it, she quietly moved to the edge of the room, out of sight, like a maid.

Lilith lets out a somewhat tired sigh and picks up her cup.

She said, "After learning that Nono, who has been with me since I was a child, was a spy and in some cases was responsible for assassinating me, I can't even drink the tea she makes these days, and I leave all my personal care to Yume-chan. Thank you very much, Mr. Light, for having her here. Without Yume-chan, I would have been crushed mentally before physically."

?　I believe I gave you a poison-disabling necklace?"

Knowing that there were more spies in the mix than expected, I gave her a magic item with the power to nullify poisons as a gift from me to warn her against assassination.

I have been cooperating with her and she has helped me in many ways, so I gave it to her as a way to repay her in some small way.

Lilith patted the necklace on her clothes and giggled.

The most important thing to remember is that the magic item is not a gift, it's just that it's not something that I ...... feel emotionally at ease with.

I understand how you feel.

It is true that it can nullify poisons, but if you ask me, 'Do you want to eat or drink food or drink that contains poisons?

It would be normal to be wary and try not to eat it.

Lilith coughs lightly to change the subject.

She bowed deeply, apologizing.

She said, "Mr. Wright, I am very sorry for your brother's rude attitude just now. However, your brother also said that Master Light has 'no problem' as an escort. During the Sixth Duchy Conference, Mr. Light will be running the kingdom as a rehearsal for the next king. Therefore, he will not attend this meeting and will not be bothered during the trip. His father, the king, has already agreed. So please be generous and forgive me."

Lilith: "Lift up your head, Master Lilith. I do not mind your brother's attitude. Rather, as a fellow brother, I understand his concern for the safety of his sister's journey, and I am not angry with him.

Thank you, Mr. Wright. ......"

Lilith, who looked up at me, pulled the words "I'm not angry" directly from my mouth, and she let out a blatant sigh of relief.

I guess they are being cautious so that the power of the lowest level of the "abyss" will not be directed toward the racial kingdom, but I think they are a little too afraid, don't you?

It is true that the power of the lowest level of the "Abyss" is tremendous, even for me, but it is not so light that I would wield it against anything.

--I'm sure it would be difficult to change my attitude even if I told you.

Lilith and I have a cooperative relationship, but it can't be helped that there are differences in perception due to the difference in our positions and the amount of power we possess.

With this thought in my mind, I proceeded with my story.

Let's discuss the schedule of the Six Principality meeting, the escorts, and the flow of the meeting.

Yes, thank you.

Thus, we were finally able to hold our meeting as planned, despite Claw's interference.
