“Is this going to be okay, Kuro?”

Hilda who was standing by looking at the scenery around the city was now tidying her hair, after which turned her head towards Kuro.

“It is not yet time for me to return,” I said while closing my eyes.

“I mean is.. you”.

“Umm. It doesn't matter, after all they're no longer the kids I always have to watch, right?” many reassuring. “I want to see their development during this one year”

“Alright if that's your wish. But, I must remind you... “

“Huh?”

“Until when will you eat those fries?”

I can only look at him flat. Maybe actually from behind that sense of worry, he wanted these limited fries.

“Do you want?” I asked while offering a pack of fries.

“Kuroooo!... “

“Alright, alright. This is the last plate, ok. I have no intention to buy it again”

“Huhh. Substantial. This is the fourth time you've bought French fries, ‘kan?”

At that time I could only laugh a little because I saw Hilda's reaction that seemed to worry me. It's not like I'm addicted to the taste, but rather and maybe this is the last fries I can eat right now.

After all the excitement and this welcoming party is over, I don't know if everything will stay the same or not. That's why I enjoyed it to the point where I would get tired of buying it.

“Then why don't you buy food for yourself, Hilda?”

“Seglass Lemon Juice and Bread Burn with blue berry cream filling is more than enough for me”

“That's the reason or is it because you don't have the money?”

“Kuro!”

“Hahahaha”

“It turns out the nature of my young master can be like this as well, huhh,” lamented while breathing out. “After this we will go where?”

“Do not rush. Soon the main show will start soon,” said me with a thin smile.

Right now the position of the two of us is right in the city square. A place where people can relax and play without thinking about any burden.

Not long ago when I said it, some people appeared in unique costumes. They walked to the middle of the field and started to bend. After that the sound of the trumpet began to be heard along with the immersion of the sound of the bus tabuh.

The children began to call out to them in a cheerful tone and the adults only looked at them with attractive and uniqueness. All of that chime into a carefree laugh that echoed throughout the square.

The amazed face, the fluttering flag, the standing banners showed a unique and elegant picture.

After that began an entertaining attraction that moved the eyes. Even I myself was amazed by their performance. Yes, even though it was all a magic trick, and the use of quick tidying was full of distraction. It was better than the usual show.

“Wah interesting once. Although not the same as the sky castle show, but this is also good,” chirps Hilda while gluing her palms together.

“Good, right? That's why don't be in a hurry. Enjoy while there is”

“Is it because of this that you also spent your money just for fries?”

“Ya... can be yes, can also not. The point is not to think too much about it,

hehehe.”

I could feel her gaze slightly tickling the nape of my neck. Is

I'm overreacting, aren't I?

“Then about the incident in that hall?”

“The guy's back. Maybe soon I can meet him by chance,” I said softly.

When I look at the people up ahead. I don't know why I'm recalling my old memories with my family. Be it Brother Ray, Mother, or Father even the aides and ministers there.

Absolutely nostalgic, but I don't want to be too attached by those old memories. Because the reason why I can be here is thanks to that guy.

Meist....

“What do you think, Kuro?”

As soon as my consciousness returned after reminiscing about the bitter incident, I could see Hilda's curious expression, but from behind those eyes I could see the unease of something.

“No. Only old memories”

“Once?”

“Do you wonder?”

For a long time, Hilda looked at me until she turned her attention quickly. I could see both of her cheeks blushing for some reason. Bizarrely.

The show went on for quite a while and the sky started to change. The color became a little dark and some hazy shadows of the moon were visible up there.

When we finished, we left the place and walked home. My home is probably quite far away because it is outside the kingdom.

I actually want to enjoy another show. However, considering it would be very bad if I was addicted to the dinner, then I decided to end it once the night had passed.

The Astarte Festa will last for three days. The first day is just an introduction and that is today, while the second day is a day of performance and entertainment. The last day is the third day on which

the main show will take place at the same time as the closing.

All that information I get from people's conversations.

At least he should understand why I decided to end it. Given the charming and beautiful hermitage Hilda, maybe there will be a lot of men who want it.

“Are you still strong walking?” ask suddenly.

“Hmm? Of course, why not?”

“It will take a lot of time. I want to immediately pulan and lay this body on the sofa, then first of all forgive me”

“What do you mean—whoaa!”

I quickly held Hilda in the style of a princess. After that coat my legs with wind magic.

Move quickly gently. The night looked more beautiful than usual, probably because I was holding a shy woman who had previously refused to carry me, but finally resigned, and handed the rest to me.

Yes, this happened a year ago when I first met my adopted sister—Velia. They have the same resemblance and on the same side. Even the reaction was uniform.

On the other side I saw Hilda speechless without saying anything. After that he began to clean up some items and fortunately still use my clothes. It calmed me down a bit, because looking at her in maid clothes felt a little strange.

My life that previously did not know what a maid was, suddenly coming a maid would be very strange.

“Can I put my purchase items here?” tanyakanya.

“Yes, no problem,” I said while waving my hands up because I was lazy to get up.

I don't know why I felt bad, as soon as I got off the couch, and saw what Hilda was doing. For some reason I was a little stunned to see the items that even I myself did not know of suddenly appear just like that.

Currently the woman who was previously a maid in the sky kingdom was spilling various items from under the magic circle that she made.

“B-how can you do that?”

“This?” Hilda glanced at her luggage after it turned her head back towards me, “Just do this and taraa!”

I can't say anything because the magic he uses is really practical. I don't know what kind of magic it is, but it makes me a little envious.

“Hehehe”

He bought a lot of things even though at first it was very awkward because he did not know what to buy. Thanks to his attitude, many men teased him.

When that happened, the first thing I did was to give that person a look of oppressor. Most of them retreat voluntarily.

"Ahl. What are you gonna do now, Hilda?" my many.

“About that there is one that I remember”

"Hmm?"

"Kuro's favorite meal as a child" he said with a smile.

"Bhuakss—huh? You still remember that?"

For the sake of bloated colossus. I didn't expect that word to appear

from her.

"Yes. A bowl of chicken soup, Vanilla Cream Bread, sweet baked fish and also a glass of Alm Fruit Squeeze Juice with the addition of Malnut Powder. I already bought the ingredients when I was at Astarte Festa. Who would have thought if these ingredients I could get there"

“As expected. If you continue like this, you are truly fit as a coveted future wife. Two thumbs up for you" I said as I took out the ingredients.

"U-um. That embarrassed me, Kuro. But thank you."

After that he returned with the food to the kitchen. Since I don't want to bother him too much, I also helped him.

As we both help each other, we also talk about the Astarte Festa that has been going on. I asked Hilda some questions about being there especially her culinary.

He answered with enthusiasm and enthusiasm. Every time I asked, I would always be answered with a radiant face. She hasn't changed her clothes either and at least this makes us look more like a couple than her maid and master.

It might be better if he soon finds a companion.

We serve food in our own style. Hilda with light cooking techniques, not too rushed and graceful. While I was impressed full of attractions with the addition of some magic to make the food I made like sparkling.

The magic I am referring to is not real magic, but rather by sprinkling spices that look glittering on the food itself. So when you look at it it will be like magic.

I would also like to request an assessment from Hilda with this cuisine that I will make. I hope he likes it.

Now it was his turn that began to ask me, at first he asked me why I was on earth instead of in the Armhade Castle. Knowing that question I explained it in detail.

I also told myself about my life when I met Reiss. After that I made it clear that I was not really his master. More precisely I was the new personality of Reiss himself.

Or rather a body with a new identity, but it has a memory of its former. Hilda is still listening to me. Should he not serve me?

I felt a little guilty to him, "Do you not mind serving a man who is not even a descendant of the celestial nation anymore... Hilda?" many doubt.

He was still silent while chopping some chicken.

"I only serve an extraordinary man. The man who was accused of being a traitor, only wanted to save people without recompense, and was willing to do good because it was his custom. Moreover, attention, good and also handsome," he said gently, his face slightly blushed and his lips smiled thinly.

Truly a very honest answer, amazingly, I was almost embarrassed by him.

"Hmm? Handsome, me? Hahahaha,” sahutku while closing my eyes, “thank you.”

Hilda fell silent in a sweet smile. The two of us are still continuing the cooking we will make, because the food that will be served is all that I like. After a while, our cooking was finally finished.

Hilda carried half the food with a tray, and I carried the other half with a tray. We put it right on a sturdy kayucokelat table.

We took seats facing each other. But before that I took two glasses of water for both of us. Then we both ate the food and talked about the past.

Hearing the beginning of Hilda's story when she first worked as a waitress at the Arphade Castle made me laugh. I can't believe before his nature like this he was reckless and also very shy.

Then after we finished our meal, as usual I washed the dishes. While Hilda prepared two glasses of sweet avocado juice. After I finished the dirty dishes, I went straight to the sofa.

Hilda had been waiting for me there with a glass of sweet avocado juice. I finally sat on the couch right to Hilda's left.

"Kuros?"

"Hmm?"

"Actually the Sword of Regalia in your body—is it already in its true form?" ask while sipping a glass of water.

"How do I explain it? Ah.. maybe not completely," I said lightly.

"Then how do you know if it's in its true form or not?"

"That sword will say it itself" I replied.

"Huh?... "

"You know when we're fighting that sword-eater?" askaku.

"Of course I remember. Then what does that have to do with the swordsman?"

I could see her expression getting confused, for some reason I liked seeing her confused look because I thought it was funny.

"It was then who told me to take it out—The Lionheart Sword," I said, after which sipped a glass of Alm Juice in front of me.

"Then don't you talk to her again, Kuro?"

"Hahahaha, I don't think that's possible, Hilda," I said with a chuckle.

"Is it because of something that you can't talk to her anymore?"

"Actually it can, but there are some conditions that must be met. I only found out a few of them.First if I was on the verge of death, second when the requirement to summon a new sword or second sword, was high, and the third is when my opponent is not an easy thing to beat," I said. “If I manage to enter one of those requirements, I can only talk to him again," I continued and then finished off the remaining Alm Juice in one gulp.

Hilda nodded slowly, then she cleaned up two empty glasses and took them to the kitchen.

Meanwhile the Athea Crystal suddenly lit up. A visual with Irina giving several speeches and also an explanation of the second day at Astarte Festa.

He explained that there will be some performances from the students of Swordia Academy who will collaborate with the students from the Magistra Academy. They will feature several attractions as well as some combined acrobatics.

It seems interesting to watch. After that I immediately went to my room, Hilda was apparently sleepy and we decided to go to sleep immediately after the visual picture was finished.

A quiet night filled with puzzles in the future.

Morning comes by itself, channeling cool breezes on a sunny morning. The second day of Astarte Festa begins. Maybe because I was used to it I immediately woke up by myself with clothes that were disheveled.

Before I went to bed last night, I had changed my shirt to a neat plain white shirt. But, it has now turned into disheveled and also tangled. By yawning and stretching both hands to warm up in the morning.

I went straight from the bed to the bathroom. Hilda greeted me in the morning. She seemed to be preparing breakfast, I could smell her fragrant.

"Hilda. I'll take a quick shower, if you don't mind waiting for me for breakfast please make me a glass of warm tea. If you mind you can start without me," I said quite loudly.

A matching voice replied to me quickly, "I'll be waiting for you, Kuro," she replied.

After hearing his reply I immediately took off my clothes quickly. After that I washed my body for a while and now I am finished.

When I take a shower there are some questions and also things I don't want to see when this festival takes place. For example, what will happen after this? How is the end of this festival? or hopefully nothing strange happens at this festival.

With that assumption I'm sure everything will go smoothly.

However, after finding out if Meist was also in this kingdom. My heart cannot calm down, nor do I know what he will do at this festival.

"Ah... Hilda, about your question this afternoon. Maybe I'll go see them soon" I said with a small laugh.

"Then we should have breakfast before it gets cold, Kuro," he said and immediately took a seat at the dinner table.

"Allah ... "

I caught up with him, but somehow his face turned red.

"Hilda, why is your face flushed? Are you having a fever?" many wonder.

"c-eum ... Kuro. If you want to do it, maybe it's better last night just”

“You mean?”

When the lyrics of his eyes fell on my stomach, I followed his gaze and voila....

“A-I'm not ready if I have to be an I-Mother..,” she said with a flushed and timid face.

Fuck those! I forgot to wear clothes. Shamefully, I ran straight to my room to get dressed.
