Chapter 2218: Miyama Kaito's Birthday Celebration Party
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Among the Six Kings, the Underworld King Kuromueina is generally known, along with Lillywood, for being mild-mannered. Due to her friendly personality and her hobby of travelling to try out different foods, she is someone who is deeply admired even in the Human Realm.
However, on the other hand, perhaps due to a lack of interest in grand events, or perhaps in consideration of the power balance within the nation itself or between various nations, she rarely attends parties hosted by nobility or royalty in person, often sending a representative instead. Because of this, many nobles have never actually spoken with Kuromueina herself.
Eris was no exception to this. At the very least, since the time of her birth, Kuromueina had never attended any of the evening parties or social events that Eris had participated in, making this their very first meeting.
[Kuromu-sama! This is Eris-san, a friend of Kaitokun-san!]
[Ahh, Ive heard about you from Kaito-kun. Ive been wanting to talk to you sometime.]
[ ! ? It is a pleasure to greet the Compassionate King of the Demon Realm. I am Eris Dia Hamilton, heir to the Hamilton Marquisdom of Archlesia Empire.]
Upon hearing Kuromueinas words, Eris gave a refined and graceful bow with the utmost formality. However, inwardly, she was on the verge of panic.
(Haaeehhh, h- how did this happen!? Why was I allowed to speak to her? I- Its because I was introduced as Kaito-samas friend right? H- His influence really is on an entirely different level)
The other party was essentially the leader of the Demon Realm. For someone of Eris standing, even if they met in a situation like this, it would normally be extremely difficult to formally greet her. In fact, to carelessly greet her and interrupt her actions would be seen as a serious discourtesy even if Kuromueina herself didnt mind, it is one that could be considered the end of a nobles reputation. It would also be a perfect excuse for political opponents to use against her or the Hamilton family.
Had Kuromueina simply said something like Sorry for interrupting, can I talk to Raz a bit? or responded to Razelias introduction with a simple I see, nice to meet you, Eris had planned to exchange only a few brief words and withdraw without a formal self-introduction.
However, because Kuromueina had said Ive been wanting to talk to you, it essentially meant that Eris was granted permission to interact with her. Thus, Eris responded with a full formal introduction, including the household she belongs to.
[Im Kuromueina, nice to meet you. You can just call me Kuromu, most people call me that way.]
[I- I- I- It would be my honor, Kuromu-sama.]
Not only was she allowed to greet her, but she was also given permission to use her nickname, this nearly shattered Eriss otherwise flawless polite smile.
Of course, the reason behind all this was Kaito. To Kuromueina, Kaito is someone special, someone she places immense trust in. If Kaito treats someone kindly and considers them a friend, then that person is someone Kuromueina can also consider a friend In short, Kuromueina was currently treating Eris as a new friend.
Of course, from Eriss perspective, being treated with such favor from the very beginning without understanding why left her feeling like she might faint at any moment
While Eris was having a conversation with Kuromueina, all the while feeling like her stomach was being torn apart, a short distance away, Lilia had an indescribable expression on her face.
[Milady? Is something the matter?]
[No, its just I dont know why, but even though Ive never spoken to her before I feel this strange sense of sympathy toward Lady Eris Watching her is making my stomach start to hurt.]
[Ah~~ Now that you mention it, she might be in a situation somewhat similar to yours, Milady. Well, either way, you dont have to worry about her. After all, you still have ahead of you the inevitable meetings with Otherworld Gods wholl come for Miyama-sama You have a rock-solid lineup waiting to ensure your stomach continues to suffer for the foreseeable future so for now, just enjoy the luxury of watching someone elses misery from the sidelines.]
[Can you not say such terrifying things!? Im trying my best not to think about that!!!]
[Well, even if you look away, itll come eventually]
While feeling a sense of kinship with Eris, Lilia also found herself involuntarily brushing gently her stomach at the mention of the future stomachaches Lunamaria had brought up, ones that would surely descend upon her in due time.
For now though, she simply wanted to cherish what little peace she had as if trying to soothe her poor, overworked stomach
Serious-senpai : [Yeah, thats right. Since shes racked up a ton of favorability points with Kaito, her evaluation from everyone else has shot up too, giving her a massive boost to her starting reputation, which is why shes now flustered sounds like Lilias in the same boat]
? ? ? : [Well, strictly speaking, its not really their first meeting from Kuro-sans perspective. She actually spoke to her during Hydra Kingdoms Founding Festival in a different dimension. So to Kuro-san, its more like Ahh, so shes that girl from back then, but since Eris-san hasnt retained any of those memories, shes reacting like its their first meeting.]
Serious-senpai : [Well, either way, all she did was ask for Lagunas location back then, so yeah, its practically a first meeting.]
