Ein and Alice were out of the room because of the fight, and Irness and I were left in the room.

Kite-sama, how about a cup of tea ~?

Ah, thank you.

Whether the maid theory unfolds in front of her, or the battle between the maid and the Six Kings erupts, Illness is calm as usual.

However, even Illness-san has a lot of emotions, and it's definitely changing.

"... by the way, Mr. Illness seems to be having a good time these days." Somehow, it's not what Ein-san said earlier, but it seems like Nepula is becoming a good friend. "

"That's right, Nepula is ~ brilliant in her ideas and skills ~ so it's perfect for a respectable friend ~." I'm also getting a lot of stimuli, and I'm thinking of expanding my knowledge. "

Of course, it's true that Nepula is very respectable, but it seems that her personality is somehow compatible with her.

Sure enough, it feels easy to talk to someone nepula.

In fact, I don't think there were almost any such opponents with Illness-san so far. No, of course I don't know all about Mr. Illness' friendship.

However, for the people who lived in Lilia's mansion, there was a feeling that Illness was something else. In fact, most of Lilia's maids are guided by Ms. Illness, so I have the impression that many people are not thinking up.

However, I feel that Nepula is one step closer to Illness than the others. Especially so when I often see Nepula helping Illness with her work.

Other than Nepula, even if the other party offered to "help", I think Illness said "it's okay" and finished her work by herself.

However, when Nepula offered to help, she did not refuse to help, and it seemed that the good friendship would be conveyed.

Well, I've thought about it a lot, but in the end...

”Somehow, in a strange way, I'm also strangely glad to see Illness-san, who seems to be having fun these days.”

……

It was a casual word, but when I heard the sole, Illness-san... it was really unusual, but she had a somewhat surprised expression on her face.

Illness-san?

"Ahh, no, I'm sorry." It's nothing. "

Hmmm, I was worried about the reaction earlier, but I wonder if it would be wild to poke in and hear more than Mr. Illness said it was nothing.

With that in mind, I enjoyed a loveless conversation with Illness until Ein and Alice returned without mentioning anything earlier.

Illness was thinking vaguely as she stepped out of the comfort person's room and walked down the hallway.

(What is it? This feeling is ~ definitely not uncomfortable, but it's a little ~ restless anyway.)

The reason for Illness' thoughts was the conversation she had with the nice people earlier. The expression on his face just now when he said, "If Illness is fun, I'm happy, too."

Illness, who was originally deeply in love with Happy People, was happier than anything to see Happy People's happy smiles. However, this time the smile of pleasure seemed more attractive to her than usual.

Keito-sama was delighted with my happiness.... ah, that's what it is, isn't it?)

After a little thought, Illness seemed to have arrived at an answer, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

(Really, from before, you've become so greedy that you can't even think about it. If Kite-sama was happy, I didn't need anything else, but I don't know.)

Illness's infinite dedication to her loved ones was undoubtedly her essence and above all her personal way of life.

However, to a lesser extent, changes were beginning to appear in the thoughts. There was no need for a quid pro quo. The happiest expression was the happiest. There was no lie in that feeling... but the "most" was changing a bit.

(Haha, you're happy. I'm glad that Kite-sama was so happy about my happiness, that she laughed for me... no matter what...)

Thinking like that, Illness gently laid her hand on her chest. It seemed as if a slightly faster beat than usual was revealing my current state of mind.

(Told the customer that the company was troubled. You're really going to have a problem with your greedy self. Even though I thought it would be nice to just see Kite-sama happy, my thoughts of 'wanting to be next to Kite-sama when he's happy' have grown stronger.)

After thinking about it, Illness smiled happily.

(Even now it's too much, even though I love you more than ever... every time I see a new side, my thoughts grow stronger. Ahh, really, I'm going to be in trouble)

The expression on Illness's face that laughed while thinking like that was very gentle, and she seemed to be feeling [her own changes that were beginning to make her happy] little by little.
