"Hi, Mr. Cosmos"

"Oh, are you... Lisa?

Cosmos got stuck in words for a second for a reason.

Lisa was braiding her long hair today, wearing a deep hat and an easy disguise. If you look at your face nearby, you can tell, but the impression of your appearance had changed gallantly.

"I see, is it a disguise? I'm sure Lisa needs it."

If you hide the long dark hair known as the hallmark of a brave man, you're much less at risk of being noticed that it's Lisa herself even if you get out in front of someone you know. It is more likely that people who have met during the valiant years will see it as an aerial likeness of others.

"That fashion suits you, too. And, aside from that, what are you up to today?

Currently there are Cosmos and Lisa in the reception room in the public building, which functions as the operational headquarters.

It's a spacious room that can also be used for a little conference, but only the two of them are currently there.

This time it was rare for Lisa to visit in the name of Cosmos, but I hadn't spoken of the reason yet.

"No, it's not a big reason. Alice told me that Mr. Cosmos has been working hard lately, so I made sweets and plugged them in."

"Oh, I'm sorry about this. If that's the case, thank you. Are you a raisin sandwich?"

Lisa took out a cardboard box for takeaway dishes that she uses at the Demon King's Restaurant. Some of them were tightly packed with Lisa's handmade raisin sandwiches.

This is a simple yet popular treat with lightly baked cookies and pinched raisins and buttercream marinated in rum. Do you also like cosmos, the usual faceless yet somewhat glowing eyes?

"Then hurry...... it's delicious. After all, brainwork is limited to sweet things."

"I knew you were busy working?

"No, it's no big deal."

You may sound seemingly humble, but you're not really making a big deal of it. Until Lisa called me earlier, I was skipping and solving the crossword puzzle. I do use brains, though. This is not very laborious.

"Yes, I've also put milk tea in my water bottle. How much sugar can you add?

"Oh, it's because you're exhausted. Then two, please."

While she remembered the slightest doubt that Lisa was going to burn this and take care of her, Cosmos decided to leave it up to her to relax because she had no particular reason to refuse.

"Well, I don't even think your favorite Lisa is up to anything."

"... you shouldn't put that idea in your mouth, should you?

"Oops, this is disrespectful"

There was such an exchange, but the two of us will enjoy a crisp raisin sandwich and a warm milk tee as a gook.

"Lamb raisins are good stuff. Whatever you put in it, it'll taste good."

"Yeah, ice cream is delicious, and it's pretty versatile, isn't it?"

"Yes, you can have as many glasses of rice as you want as long as you have a rum raisin"

"That's a heavy load on a boulder..."

The all-purpose Ram Raisin is a real big deal and can go with most treats.

Well, I don't think it's going to be the rice occassion, as Cosmos says on the boulder. It's a line that's hard to tell if they're serious or joking, just because they're cosmos.

I had a soothing tea time with that conversation as well, and eventually the contents of the cardboard box became carapo.

"Then I'll be excused for this, won't I? Good luck with your work."

"No, thank you for coming."

It's actually a cosmos that I had in mind assuming I had other business to do, but Lisa left early when she cleaned out the carton and the water bottle.

"Well, did you really just bring the plug?

Having eaten the shoulder watermark, Cosmos decided to take his paperwork seriously, not feeling like he was going to fall somewhere else, somehow unwilling to go back to the continuation of the crossword.

I haven't noticed Cosmos himself, but I'd say it's a good idea until it's miraculous.

Meanwhile, Lisa, who left the public building, traveled to an unpopular back road before relieving tension and exhaling.

"Are you sure you want to do this...?

[As long as I have a choice, I'm dealing with them. Besides, my Lord would have said it was suspicious]

"Well, that's true,"

The conversation is with the Holy Sword.

It was a hat worn deep in the eye, invisible from the surroundings, but shaped like earphones with ear hanging shapes. This makes it possible to communicate the will discreetly, even in public.

"So, uh... what about the setup?

[Um, I succeeded. This allows real-time surveillance. You seem to be doing some serious work right now]

"That kind of makes me feel better"

During the earlier conversation, part of the holy sword, an ultra-small split, was diving into the gap between clothes and hair so that the cosmos wouldn't notice it. Each and every one of the splits is about the size of the sand grain and is simulated to suit the surrounding colors, so you don't have to worry about being noticed first.

The downside is that this size will considerably reduce your mobility on your own, so you can't set it up without having Lisa stop near the subject.

Lisa is also a new technique that the Holy Sword was mastering before she knew it, but this also allows Lisa to grasp the body of the Holy Sword in real time with the information obtained by the split.

"Oh, you can't take a bath or change your clothes."

[My Lord, what do you think of me... well, I'll let you know if there's any disturbing movement. Until then, forget about it.]

Alice had full faith in the resurgence of Cosmos these days, but Lisa, who had told and heard it, instinctively felt something was wrong, not reason.

I received the offer of the Holy Sword to have the opportunity for hands-on data on new moves there, and I felt guilty, but it was a wack that I went to plant this trick with the intent of a wand that didn't fall.

Stunning prey caught on the fishing needle or not.

It's going to be a little bit further with the results.
