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 Mitsunagkun is close .
In the square where I met with Mitsunagkun 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 Lilisan than Amalie-san, with Lilisan hair in a loose vertical roll and the corners of her eyes were slightly slanted upwards .

In short, she’s quite the beauty…… Lilisan’s family’s facial deviation value really is incredibly high……
(T/N: Facial deviation value is apparently a criterion for the goodness and beauty of a human face . )
[……I see, what about her personality?]
[Please think of Duchess Lilia . ]
[Eh? 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 Lilisan’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 Mitsunagkun 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……

They were probably, or rather, definitely Princess Cattleya and Mitsunagkun’s guards…… That’s an awesome number they have .
When I met with Mitsunagkun 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 Mitsunagkun 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 Mitsunagkun…… 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 Mitsunagkun, and when he saw me, he approached me with a refreshing smile on his face .
[Miyamsan!]
[Mitsunagkun, 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, Mitsunagkun ended the meeting early and was waiting for me here .
[……You must be Miyamsama, right?]
[Eh? Ah, yes . ]
When I turned my head towards the voice that called out my name, I saw an imposing woman standing there .

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 Miyamsama 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 Lilisan!? The way they talk is definitely similar, but compared to Lilisan, 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!?
[Miyamsan, you don’t have to be that nervous . Despite her appearance, Cathy is really kind . ]
[Mitsunagsama! Haven’t I told you to stop calling me that in public!?]
[I- I’m sorry . ]

[Good grief…… Please excuse me . Miyamsama, 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 Mitsunagkun earlier was exactly like when Lilisan was angry .
That look of impatience, rather than rage, on her face is a characteristic of Lilisan when she’s angry…… Unnn, I felt that way because Lilisan got angry enough times that I remembered her face while she was mad……
After lightly scolding Mitsunagkun, 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 Mitsunagkun and Princess Cattleya as they started walking to the cafe .
[Mitsunagsama, 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 Miyamsan 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 Mitsunagkun 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 Mitsunagkun .
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…… Mitsunagkun 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 .
