Having learned Illness-sanās motivation for starting her journey, although she said there isnāt 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 Iām 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 seeā¦ā¦ By the way, how long have you been working at Symphoniaās Royal Castle?]
[Speaking in terms of time, it hasnāt been that looooong. I was recruited by Symphoniaās Queen Consort 5 generations agooooo, so itās 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 doesnāt 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.
[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 siiiiiignedā¦ā¦ 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.]
[So thatās why Illness-san can do so many things huh.]
[Kuhihi, it ceeeeertainly is quite common that the things one acquire along the way uneeeeexpectedly prove useful in various situations. Howeveeeeeer, looking back like this noooooow, I havenāt really spoken that much considering the years Iāve liiiiiiiived.]
Although she sometimes seemed to be reminiscing about her past, Illness-san basically talked about it in a matter-of-fact way, as if she was reading a document of a personās past. There are explanations like how she did things or why she did them, but thereās a noticeable lack of anything that could be described as episodes of her past.
However, Illness-san herself knew this, but she couldnāt think of any episodes that she would like to talk about here.
[Dramatic changeeeees are something that can unexpectedly occur in unforeseen placeeeees. For meeeee, the last few years have been far mooooooore dramatic than the past tens of thousands of yeeeeears, making me feel like a lot happeeeeeened.]
[Kuhihi, I suppose soooooo. If we were talking about dramatic everyday liiiiiiiife, I certainly canāt compare mine with Kaito-samaaaaa~~]
Looking at her smiling happily, I could feel that her last, which she said had been quite dramatic, had been good for her. She seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the present, which made me feel happy too.
No, I donāt really know why, perhaps because Illness-sanās voice has been incredibly gentle, but it somehow feels like Iām being praised?
[I had been quite selfish latelyyyyy. Itās as if my the emptiness within me had been fiiiiiiiilled, my mind filled with things I want to do and tryyyyyy. Having such a sudden change could be troubliiiiiiing, itās quite curious how I find myself enjoying iiiiiiiit.]
[No, itās probably more like Illness-san just didnāt have many desires before. Even now, I still donāt feel like you have become selfish at allā¦ā¦ 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 meeeeeeeā¦ā¦]
[Hmmm. That isnāt the case though. Iām not just going along with Illness-sanās selfishness. It was because this tea party you suggested was something I desired as well, so I willingly participated. And so, this isnāt being selfish at all, and itās 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 Iām not really being forced to comply, and I willingly participated in this tea party because it aligns with my own wishes, so this definitely isnāt her being selfish at all.
Hearing my words, Illness-san looked unusually stupefied for a momentā¦ā¦ before she gave me a small smile.
[ā¦ā¦This really is troubliiiiiing. When Iām 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.]
Serious-senpai: [T- Thatās enough already, right? It should be enoughā¦ā¦ We can end it here and start a new act next chapter, right? Right?]
? ? ?: [Oya? If thatās what Serious-senpai saysā¦ā¦]
