Chapter 1742: Intermission: Bestowed Gift and Letters

Lilia, who had inherited memories from another timeline, desperately explained to Lunamaria, who hadn’t inherited such memories. That in a temporarily diverged timeline, where Kaito and Shallow Vernal went on a date during the Founding Festival, she experienced numerous stomachaches......

[......I’ll check Big Sister Vier’s schedule.] n(-OVelB1n

[That isn’t it! It’s not that I’ve lost my mind, that really happened...... No, Luna...... You already understand and are doing that on purpose, don’t you?]

[Oya? I got caught...... Well, if one suddenly hears something about some different timeline, they’d just think Lili worked too hard and lost her mind...... but when something’s related to Miyama-sama, it’s frightening how that isn’t impossible.]

It would normally be a ridiculous story, and even if it was the words of a close friend who one had known for a long time, it wasn’t something that could be believed immediately. However, when you add the World’s Singularity, Kaito, and Gods with their omnipotent powers into the equation, such a story would somehow make sense.

[......So, what happened after you confirmed the appearance of that mysterious mountain?]

[Of course, there was a great uproar. Not only that, the very same mountain disappeared just as Her Majesty Laguna was trying desperately to mend the situation...... It seriously just disappeared from our sight. Fortunately, Kuromueina-sama came to explain things afterwards, and the matter was resolved with the explanation that Shallow Vernal-sama briefly showed an illusion of a famous mountain from the First Hero’s world.]

[Heehhh...... What was that mountain called?]

[Errr, what was it again? If I recall correctly———-]

[Mt Fuji.]

[Ahh, that’s right. It was called Mt Fu...... Eh?]

Suddenly hearing a voice that didn’t seem to belong to her or Lunamaria, Lilia turned around in surprise, and there, she found Makina having appeared in her office before she knew it.

[M- M- M- Mana-sama!?]

[Ya, good work at the Founding Festival in that timeline~~]

Upon seeing the suddenly appeared Makina, Lilia’s expression tensed visibly. On the other hand, Lunamaria, not recognizing Makina, tilted her head in confusion.

[Unnn. Then, how do you like it? Should I install it in the world I gave Lilia before? Or should I install it somewhere in this world? I do remember the face of that lump of flesh who rules this country, so if I tell him, he’ll at least submit to me a piece of land right away.]

[On the world you gave me before please!!!]

She’s got no other choice here either. Rather, even if she were given a choice, choosing the former would be far better than the latter. At least, it wouldn’t lead to a major disturbance. Receiving a gift bestowed by Makina requires considerable care, but even so, it’s far better than a situation where a mountain suddenly appears somewhere in this world, with Lilia becoming its owner.

[Unnn. Alright. I’ll install it there then~~ Well then, I’ve finished my business here, so I’m gonna go.]

[Yes! T- Thank you very much once again!]

While Makina lightly waved at them as she left, Lilia and Lunamaria lowered their heads, seeing her off with a 90-degree bow. A few while after Makina disappeared, Lilia muttered.

[......My stomach hurts.]

[I completely understand how you feel...... To refresh your mind, how about taking a long break soon? Especially since you received something suitable for sightseeing......]

[I suppose so...... Taking a long break after all the work I’m doing now would be nice.]

[Yes, along with Sieg, us three can go on a trip. You also received something we could stay at, right?]

[......Luna.]

Touched by Luna’s words, gently advising her, Lilia’s eyes welled up with emotion. Although things were somewhat dreadful for the moment, the fact that it wasn’t something that would cause a public uproar made her feel somewhat relieved.

Lilia, suppressing the pain in her stomach and thinking optimistically, smiled.

......But then, a few days later, faced with a letter that arrived from the Founder Olivia expressing her desire to meet and talk with Lilia, a noble from one of the countries, as if she herself was crumbling down, Lilia slammed her head down on her desk...... shattering her office desk.

<Afterword>

Office Desk : [Guaaahhhh!?]

Serious-senpai : [Because Lilia’s specs are quite monstrous, she causes unexpected damage in the strangest places!?]
