On a night a few days after I sent a letter to Mitsunaga-kun, I was checking the letter he sent that had arrived with other letters.
The content of the letter was simple, it was a response to my previous question asking if I could bring one companion, to which he said there would be no problem.
So, I wrote a reply letter again, indicating who I would take with me, and after finishing it, I got up.
Since itās already nighttime, itās no longer time to send a letter, so I would leave this with Anima tomorrow.
Yes, thatās right. Iām growing up every day. I know that if I donāt properly inform Lilia-san about this, a severe sermon would be whatās waiting for me. Fufufuā¦ā¦ No, Iām not gonna skip it.
I left my room in high spirits and headed to Lilia-sanās mansionā¦ā¦ and a few minutes later, I went back to my own home with slightly slumped shoulders.
Speaking of which, at breakfast this morning, Lotus-san and Dahlia-sanā¦ā¦ her parentsā wedding anniversary, and she said that she was going to have dinner at the royal palace and stay there tonight. I mean, she wasnāt even there for dinner, so I should have noticed itā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦Hmmm, it canāt be helped. As for the report, letās just do it tomorrow.
As I was walking down the hallway with this in mind, I suddenly saw Illness-san walking ahead of me. No, that in itself was not strange, but Illness-san was currently dressed in casual clothes, with a white shirt, a long black skirt and an elegant cardigan.
[Good evening, Illness-san. Are you going somewhere?]
[Good eveniiiiiiing, Kaito-samaaaaa. Yeeees, I was thinking of going shoppiiiiiiing.]
[S- Shopping? At this hour?]
Since she was wearing casual clothes, I asked her if she was going out, to which she affirmed my wordsā¦ā¦but it was already 8:00 pm.
Of course, there are no convenience stores in this world. The only places that are open at this time of the day are a few restaurants.
[Todaaaaay is the day of the ānight markeeeeeetā, so I will be heading thereeeeee.]
[Yeeees. Itās a market held in the Demon Reaaaaalm, where nocturnal species gatheeeeer, and itās held about twice a moooooonth. They sell a variety of iteeeeems, many of which can only be purchased theeeeere.]
Such a thing exists huhā¦ā¦ Itās true that there are many different species of Demons, and of course, there should be nocturnal species as well.
A slightly special market opened by such nocturnal speciesā¦ā¦ To be honest, Iām a little curious about it. Itās kinda like some sort of hidden event, a secret stage that if I hadnāt asked illness-san at a certain time on a certain day, I probably wouldnāt have had the chance to know about it, so I want to see it.
Perhaps sensing my thoughts, Illness-san spoke with a smile on her face.
[If Kaito-sama is interested about iiiiiit, would you like to go with meeeee?]
[Then, donāt mind if I doā¦ā¦ I will get ready.]
[Well theeeen, I will be waiting for you at the entraaaaaance, so please come when youāre readyyyyyy.]
[Alright. I will prepare as fast as I can.]
As I was interested in the night market, I was glad to be able to go with Illness-san, who was knowledgeable about it.
I feel bad about keeping Illness-san waiting, so I quickly returned to my room, dressed and prepared quickly, and headed for the front door. Illness-san was right outside the doorway, looking up at the moon in the night skyā¦ā¦ The sight of her under the moonlight was stunningly beautiful, taking my breath away.
Thereupon, Illness-san seemed to have noticed me as she looked my way.
[Have you finished prepariiiing?]
[Well theeeen, shall we goooo?]
[Yes. Ahh, errr, itās a bit late to say this, but even though I donāt get to see you in your casual clothes very often, I always think you have a great sense of style. Todayās outfit has a calm atmosphere which suits you very well.]
[Kuhihi, thank you very muuuuuch. Kaito-samaaaa also looks greaaaat.]
Hearing my words, Illness-sanās characteristic smile appeared on her lips and she responded in a calm manner. Even though the short-statured Illness-san is one of the shortest people I know, her gestures and atmosphere were strangely very matureā¦ā¦ How should I say thisā¦ā¦ I really feel like sheās a capable adult woman.
Shopping with Illness-san at the night marketā¦ā¦ To be honest, Iām quite looking forward to it.
