Behind the Lilia Mansion and the Yasumito House, there is more than a front garden, including a horse-drawn stable managed mainly by the Lilia Mansion, and training grounds in addition to the houses of Belfried and Lindblum, which are the pets of the Yasumito.

In the corner, a table next to a small field managed by Nepula is a place where Nepula and Illness often drink tea together after work.

Illness and Nepula, who were close, were chatting at the same table today. Then Lilia, accompanied by Luna Maria, came along.

Ah, you were here, Illness.

Hello, miss?

"Ah, it's okay to remain seated." I just came to talk to you a little bit... "

Illness tried to get up for Lilia's visit, but Lilia stopped the solo and opened her mouth while sitting in her free seat.

Luna can sit down, too.

"Well then, excuse me... what was Master Illness and Nepula doing today?"

Encouraged by Lilia, Renamaria sits down in the same chair and asks Illness and Nepula. In front of them are arranged things like carving swords and paintings.

"I was just making a wooden cup with Illness-san." The ingredients are readily available from the main body of the concubine. "

"Since we've finished our work together, we were completely out of hand."

"I see... this is a wonderful item again."

While answering Luna Maria's question, Nepula places two wooden cups in a position where they can easily be seen by both of them. The cup was carved with a three-dimensional and stunning picture that seemed to be motivated by trees and spirits, and the two cups seemed to be paired, and when combined, it even looked like a painting.

The coloring of the light shades was also brilliant, which was a wonderful item that could be displayed in the museum, and Luna Maria expressed her admiration.

If the materials are also made of world trees, it is a tremendous thing. In the first place, it is easy to process because it is made of Nepula and Illness, but the world tree is originally extremely hard and is not suitable for woodworking at all.

”... but I'm [crazy].”

”That's right... I'll throw it away?”

"Wait, wait a minute!?" Throw it away? It seems like a wonderful item to be displayed at the Royal Museum... what do you dislike about it? ”

However, for the two of them, this cup seems to be a failure, and they are trying to discard it with a disgruntled expression, and Lilia seems to be in a hurry and asks what they do not like.

Then the two of them returned words with a very natural face.

"It's too tight on the decoration, it's difficult to hold it"

“It's not very practical as a cup.”

Although it is an artistic looking cup, it is difficult to use it with two people. In the first place, they did not want to make an artistic cup, but simply had free time, so they made it by saying, "Let's make a tree cup ~".

Although I tried to complete it for now, there was a feeling that the two of them were cohesive and had too many decorations.

"... erm, if you two weren't needed, could you give them up? Someone I know collects woodwork."

I don't mind.

Really for both of them, these glasses were just made in their spare time, and in response to Lilia's words, they offered the glasses.

Then, at that timing, Nepula leans her neck and opens her mouth.

"By the way, Lilia-san." Didn't I talk to Mr. Illness? "

"Oh, that's right. Then, I was distracted... I'm talking to both of you, rather than to Illness, but can't you give me a little bit of the refined sugar you showed me before?"

"I have a duke who will be visiting my daughter's aunt soon, but she is famous for her love of tea, and as a young lady, I want to strengthen her cooperation in the future, so I want to give her a souvenir that she will be happy with."

Lilia's words were lightly captured by Luna Maria. Lilia is an aristocrat, so of course she has the opportunity to invite other aristocrats to the Mansion.

This time, it was an important counterparty as well, so I wanted to have a good impression and go back.

“I've been looking for a lot of other things, but I can't find anything as great as that crushed sugar, as long as I can afford it, of course.”

I see, then there's something just right.

After nodding to Lilia's words, Nepula revealed a magic box in her palm. Even though Nepula is downgraded, she is a semi-almighty, and she can store it in space-time magic without using a magic box.

However, because this magic box was bought by pleasant people, Nepula loves using the magic box rather than spatiotemporal magic.

From the magic box, Nepula took out a wooden box with a sense of luxury.

"When Mr. Rosmier visited before, I thought that someone might want it as a souvenir in the future, so I made an assortment box for souvenirs with Mr. Illness."

"I'm going to put sugar in a small jar ~ five at a time." The paper with the sugar description is also put together, so I think it's easy to understand. "

"This is amazing, isn't it?" The box is also classy... let me buy it. "

Note that, depending on the example, the box is made of a world tree.

"I don't need any money." Rather, it feels extra, so I'll give you about ten of them, so please use them as you please. "

"I've made too many of them."

"We were so out of hand ~"

”Kuhihi, that's right.”

Saying that, Lilia thanked Nepula and Illness for handing over the box, and took a seat with Renamaria, even as she looked sorry.

I decided to give you a souvenir, but I also need to prepare a lot of other things so I can make arrangements for you.

Illness-san, what are we going to make next?

I see. How about a vase next ~?

“Great! The cups were designed in the woods, so let's make them feel oceanic now.”

Lilia and Renamaria returned to the house, smiling bitterly at Nepula and Illness, who talked happily about the next woodwork.

Then, after entering the house, Luna Maria suddenly muttered.

"... why are you so shabby at work?" those two.... "

”As usual... if it wasn't for my imagination, Illness... 'Aren't you working even faster these days?'”

"It's already there." Even though it used to be overwhelming, it seems that the quality and speed of my work has been polished even more lately... and I'm still struggling to see if it's on top. "
