On a night a few days after I sent a letter to Mitsunaga-kun, I was checking his reply letter that had arrived with other letters.

The content of the letter was simple, it was a response to my previous question asking if I could bring a companion, to which he said there would be no problem.

So, I wrote a reply letter again, indicating who I would take with me, and after finishing it, I got up.

Since it’s already nighttime, it’s no longer suitable to send a letter, so I’ll leave this with Anima tomorrow.

Yes, that’s right. I’m learning every day. I know that if I don’t properly inform Lilia-san about this, a severe sermon would be what’s waiting for me. Fufufu…… No, I’m not gonna skip it.

I left my room in high spirits and headed to Lilia-san’s mansion…… and a few minutes later, I went back to my own home with slightly slumped shoulders.

Speaking of which, at breakfast this morning, Lotus-san and Dahlia-san…… her parents’ wedding anniversary, and she said that she was going to have dinner at the royal palace and stay there tonight. I mean, she wasn’t there for dinner, so I should have noticed it……

……Hmmm, it can’t be helped. As for the report, let’s just do it tomorrow.

As I was walking down the hallway with this in mind, I suddenly saw Illness-san walking ahead of me. No, that in itself was not strange, but Illness-san was currently dressed in casual clothes, a white shirt, a long black skirt and an elegant cardigan.

[Good evening, Illness-san. Are you going somewhere?]

[Good eveniiiiiiing, Kaito-samaaaaa. Yeeees, I was thinking of going shoppiiiiiiing.]

[S- Shopping? At this hour?]

Since she was wearing casual clothes, I asked her if she were going out, to which she affirmed my words……but it was already 8:00 pm.

Of course, there were no open convenience stores in this world. The only places that are open at this time of the day are a few restaurants.

[Todaaaaay is the day of the “night markeeeeeet”, so I will be heading thereeeeee.]

[Night market?]

[Yeeees. It’s a market held in the Demon Reaaaaalm, where nocturnal species gatheeeeer, and it’s held about twice a moooooonth. They sell a variety of iteeeeems, many of which can only be purchased theeeeere.]

[I see……]

Such a thing exists huh…… It’s true that there were many different species of Demons, and of course, there should be nocturnal species as well.

A slightly special market opened by such nocturnal species…… To be honest, I’m a little curious about it. It’s kinda like some sort of hidden event, a secret stage that if I hadn’t asked illness-san at a certain time on a certain day, I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to know about it, so I want to see it.

Perhaps sensing my thoughts, Illness-san spoke with a smile on her face.

[If Kaito-sama is interested in iiiiiit, would you like to go with meeeee?]

[Eh? Is that alright?]

[Yeeeees.]

[Then, don’t mind if I do…… I will get ready.]

[Well theeeen, I will be waiting for you at the entraaaaaance, so please come when you’re readyyyyyy.]

[Alright. I will prepare as fast as I can.]

As I was interested in the night market, I was glad to be able to go with Illness-san, who was knowledgeable about it.

I felt bad about keeping Illness-san waiting, so I quickly returned to my room, quickly dressed and prepared, and headed for the front door. Illness-san was right outside the doorway, looking up at the moon in the night sky…… The sight of her under the moonlight was stunningly beautiful, taking my breath away.

Thereupon, Illness-san seemed to have noticed me as she looked my way.

[Have you finished prepariiiing?]

[Ah, yes. I’m ready.]

[Well theeeen, shall we goooo?]

[Yes. Ahh, errr, it’s a bit late to say this, but even though I don’t get to see you in your casual clothes very often, I always think you have a great sense of style. Today’s outfit has a calm atmosphere which suits you very well.]

[Kuhihi, thank you very muuuuuch. Kaito-samaaaa also looks greaaaat.]

Hearing my words, Illness-san’s characteristic smile appeared on her lips and she responded in a calm manner. Even though the short-statured Illness-san is one of the shortest people I know, her gestures and atmosphere were strangely very mature…… How should I say this…… I really felt like she was a capable adult woman.

Shopping with Illness-san at the night market…… To be honest, I’m quite looking forward to it.

~ ~ An easy-to-understand outline for the last chapter ~ ~

Seigi-san : [Do you know…… how long it’s been since I appeared?]

Serious-senpai : [Wha!? Y- You……]

Seigi-san : [The only time I was clearly mentioned as being there is in Chapter 661, Festival of Heroes scene. Other than that, I may have been invited to Miyama-san’s housewarming party, but there’s no indication of my presence there. Well, in terms of series release time, about 2 years have passed.]

Serious-senpai : [……………….]

Seigi-san : [Then, do you know how long it’s been since I had any lines?]

Serious-senpai : [T- That is…… Errr…..]

Seigi-san : [Alright, I’ll tell you how long it’s been in series release time so that you can understand.]

Serious-senpai : [ ! ? ]

Seigi-san : [……5 and a half years.]

Serious-senpai : [……What…… in the…… (U- Unbelievable, what is this overwhelming misfortune…… I- I can’t win against it.]
