When the fast man was visiting the divine realm to confirm to Sharovanal, a certain presence had come to Alice's grocery store.

"Oh? Mr. Crowe, what are you doing?

"Yeah, I got some errands for Chartier. It's really easy and helpful to find Kite when she's around."

"Ha, what do you say, if you need me, why don't you come to the grocery store"

"... I often tell you that while Kate was back in the world, she closed the store and dazzled me."

Chromeeina, who came into the grocery store, sighs lightly after exchanging words with Alice. She's right, Alice would change her appearance often, and even her residence would be difficult to find with Chromeaina.

But when there was a fast man, it was easy to make contact because he was always keeping a split in the grocery store and basically providing escorts beside the fast man.

"Haha, so, you've come all the way to visit me... is this the 'Chamber of Commerce for Examples' that Mr. Crowe seemed to be busy with lately?

"Yeah, well, that's the thing. I was going to meditate on my eyes if it was about some foot pull on top of the sales strategy... but I think I've just passed the stage where I can overlook it because I think I'm a little bit injured."

At the time we talked that far, Alice prepared a chair in front of the counter, and Kromeina sat in that chair before continuing her words.

What was bothering CromEina was that a small chamber of commerce with a contract with the Sedić Magic Fixture Chamber was in trouble with a slightly less reputable chamber of commerce.

"Even though we have a contract, that chamber of commerce is not directly under our umbrella. When I leave and put it away, it's going to get bigger."

"I guess...... so, can the request be about solving that problem?

"Yeah. As usual, in the most convenient way possible."

"As gentle as ever...... it would be quick if I crushed it"

It is quite rare, if not infrequent, for CromEina to bring Alice a job like this. If Kromeina, one of the six kings and head of the world's best big chambers of commerce, moves, that's all that matters, so when you want to clean it up as secretly and peacefully as possible, rely on Alice's power in this way.

Alice laughs bitterly at CromEina's words, then tells her with a slightly more serious look on her face.

"Well for now...... do you have a rep's hope?

"... Pandemonium, can't you?

"Hmm...... I know how you feel. That kid would definitely be good and solve it in a beautiful way......"

"After all, are you busy working on Kate's mansion or something?

"Uh-huh... Lately, that kid doesn't want to turn around a very laborious job because he seems to be working in a disastrous and happy way. Well, I don't think I'd say no if I asked..."

"Oh well... uh-huh... well, I'm sorry, but can I ask Lillim, 'this time too'?

Chromeeina also pandemonium...... I have known about Illness for a long time and that is why there was something I could agree with Alice's saying that she has been working happily lately.

And I also felt like asking for a job to get in the way of it, so Kromeeina mouthed another candidate.

"Well, it will, won't it? That kid, he's 'invincible to his understated opponents', and when you say he's fit, he's fit. Then I'll turn the rim again."

"Thanks, that'll help."

In the capital of the Alcresian Empire, one of the tall, built-up capitals, and one of the biggest castles, Lillim, the mother of the current emperor and at the same time the corner of the ten demons of the Phantom King's distribution executive, was looking at his own fingers painted with a manicure.

With such an overwhelming aesthetic to be picturesque even with sole tricks, she shrugs with an incredibly difficult look on her face.

"... I don't hate the colors as far as I'm concerned, but they don't suit you Chris. The shades of blue lineage seem better suited to Chris than this... the dark colors seem good. Uh-huh, could it have been a nice color..."

What Lillim is currently doing was choosing what would fit Chris, his beloved daughter, from among the many trial pieces, a new one of the quarter that arrived from each chamber of commerce specializing in cosmetics.

If I could find something good, at a time when I reached out to the next trial item while thinking that way about giving it to Chris... her Lord appeared in the room.

"Sorry to bother you, Lillim"

"... Ah, Master Chartier? Could it be?"

"Yeah, a new directive."

"Uh-huh... in" I'm not in the mood this time, so pass "~"

Without listening to the command of Chartier, the king, he refuses, and Lillim reaches out to the trial sample.

She was originally quite in the mood, and it is not uncommon to reject the directive on the grounds that she is not in the mood this way. Alice gives executives the right to refuse directives and orders in the first place. It should be noted that the person who uses that right the most was Lillim, and the odds of her being honest were about 40% at best.

However... exceptions exist to everything.

"... by the way, it's Mr. Kro's request."

Shortly after Alice told him so, Lillim stopped and gagged and dropped her shoulder when she was about to take the test piece.

"Okay... I'll take it"

"Oh? I thought you weren't in the mood.

"You're still a terrible person. You know I can't refuse Pluto's request..."

Yes, he's a moody lilim, but he's the only one who won't refuse requests from Chromeaina. The reason is simple. For her, Kromeeina is a great benefactor who has been cut off to repair her friendship with her beloved daughter, Chris, because she is a person who can't get her head up.

"Oh, by the way, he's here this time."

"Huh? In person..."

Shortly after Alice's words, a black vortex appeared in the room, and as Chromeaina emerged from inside, Lillim rose from the couch where she was sitting and bowed her head at a beautiful angle.

"Meh, Pluto!

"Hello, Lillim...... suddenly, I'm sorry"

"No, no! Pluto is always welcome."

"Thanks...... So, I'm sorry, can you help me this time?

"Ah, yes! Absolutely fine! I'll try to clean it up fine in a few days!

Totally different from earlier, Lirim, who stretches his spine and responds to Chromeaina, asks for the request straight from Chromeaina's mouth.

And he accepted the request in two replies, changed his expression after promising to resolve it early, and told him with some sorry look.

"... you know, Pluto"

"Yeah?"

"If, um, you seem to have some time... could you show your face to Chris, too? Chris, I'm sure you'll be happy."

"Yeah, I'm going to. I haven't talked to Chris in a while."

"Thank you!

After a gentle exchange of words, Lillim dropped off Chromeaina, who was leaving the room to meet Chris, with her head deeply bowed.

And from behind Lillim, who raised her face after Chromeeina was completely blind, she hears a frightened voice.

"... fucking bat, that's a lot different attitude from when I was there, isn't it?

"Pluto is a benefactor, so it's obvious. He's not the same kind of bad king he is."

"Ho, thats what you say...... so hit the other one in the future when it comes to 'parenting consultation' instead of being a mean king"

"Are you kidding me...? It's a light tea glance... because the only king for me is Master Chartier, and I firmly swear allegiance... Really, please. There's no one else I can count on!

"... or you have overused your contact magic device for personal use..."

Alice turns to Lillim, who turns her palm back and looks at Alice as if she were stunned.

Lillim talks to Alice every time she has trouble with her Chris relationship or worries about a gift, she cries... only given to executives, using a communications magic tool...

Among the ten demons, her use of communications magic equipment was a blur, and 90% of it was for private purposes.

"Oh, don't say that. Look, we've been up to the deadline for proper reports lately, and you're working really hard on it... so, uh, I hope you can say goodbye, even with regard to this directive, I don't know..."

"... ha, this fucking bat... so what extra reward do you want?

"I'm looking for a dark blue manicure. I don't mind just the information, not the actual product, so I'd appreciate it if you could tell me."

Lillim with such a mesmerizing look...... I'm sure she's brilliant, but watching her very hard to handle subordination, Alice sighed loudly again.

Note, for the record at all...... he has this attitude, but Lillim is not looking at Alice low otherwise. Rather, he also dedicates his loyalty firmly, as he said earlier.

In front of the other ten demons, they say 'business-like relationships' and so on... in the first place, she says, Lillim is not honest. On pre-construction, I follow Alice because it's in my interest too... but that's not all.

For example, if Alice or any other phantom king is asked, "Who is the most respected?" I respect Alice to the extent that I don't hesitate to name her, and I also have such loyalty that I'm not willing to go under any other king no matter how favorable conditions she offers me.

Lillim rejects nearly 60% of the 'directives' Alice brought to him in the mood at that time... but has never obeyed or complained about the 'orders'.

In the end, as he said earlier...... I guess the only king for her is Alice.
