Chapter 1769: Tea Party with Illness ⑦

Having learned Illness-san’s motivation for starting her journey, although she said there isn’t much about it, it still felt like kindness was the root of her actions, so I was a little happy to think that Illness-san back then was no different from the Illness-san I knew so well.

[Since the time I was traveliiiiiing, just as I’m currently a maaaaaaid, I had been serving someone simply because that was easieeeeer. Various people had asked me various requeeeeests, but for someone like me who had a weak sense of purpoooooose, it would be easieeeer to have someone present a path for me to follooooooow.]

[I see…… By the way, how long have you been working at Symphonia’s Royal Castle?]

[Speaking in terms of time, it hasn’t been that looooong. I was recruited by Symphonia’s Queen Consort 5 generations agooooo, so it’s been about 400 years.]

For me, 400 years feels incredibly long, but for Illness-san, who undoubtedly has lived for tens of thousands of years, it doesn’t seem like such a long period.

Well, indeed, assuming Illness-san has lived for 40,000 years for the sake of simple calculations, 400 years just be a hundredth of the time she has lived. It may not be extremely short, but looking at that perspective, it might not feel that long either. Please visit fr𝐞𝐞w𝒏.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update

[Have you been living in the Demon Realm before you became a maid in the royal castle?]

[No~~ I moved to the Human Realm right after the Treaty of Friendship was siiiiiigned…… and before I became a maid at the Royal Castleeeeee, I worked at various jobs here and there. II had became an accountant for a trading companyyyyy, and I had also worked as an ecological researcheeeeer.]

[No, it’s probably more like Illness-san just didn’t have many desires before. Even now, I still don’t feel like you have become selfish at all…… Ahh, incidentally, for Illness-san, does inviting me to this tea party feel like a selfish request to you?]

[Yeeeeees. This is my desiiiiiire, and I had Kaito-sama go along with meeeeeee……]

[Hmmm. That isn’t the case though. I’m not just going along with Illness-san’s selfishness. It was because this tea party you suggested was something I desired as well, so I willingly participated. And so, this isn’t being selfish at all, and it’s quite the opposite———- I would even welcome more requests from Illness-san.]

[………………..]

It seems like Illness-san has a tendency to refrain from imposing her desires on me, but I’m not really being forced to comply, and I willingly participated in this tea party because it aligns with my own wishes, so this definitely isn’t her being selfish at all.

Hearing my words, Illness-san looked unusually stupefied for a moment……. before she gave me a small smile.

[……This really is troubliiiiiing. When I’m with Kaito-samaaaa, I find myself becoming more and more selfiiiiiiiish. However, the thought that I couuuuuuld come to like this selfish side of me kind of makes me feel tickliiiiiiiish.]

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [T- That’s enough already, right? It should be enough…… We can end it here and start a new act , right? Right?]

? ? ? : [Oya? If that’s what Serious-senpai says……]
