Chapter 2154: Special Product ?
In one corner of the Great Central Forest of the Demon Realm, at the home of the Great Tree Princess Jutia, Tirtania, who had come over for a visit, was nibbling on the mini cookies Jutia had prepared while speaking to Jutia, who was slumped over the table with her head down.
[Jutia, cheer up, okay?]
[……You know, you know…… The pamphlet says the lottery has already been drawn, but like…… even though the draw is done, they haven’t notified the winners yet, right? So, isn’t there still a chance that it could be redrawn?]
[Normally, I think they’d tell the winners before the pamphlet comes out. Even if they didn’t, wouldn’t they at least tell them at the same time?]
[……Yeah, you’re right…… Uuuu…… MK Royale…… I want to try it so, so badly……]
Just like Ein, Jutia had also taken great interest in the MK Royale article featured in Nifty’s pamphlet. However, at the same time, she was devastated to learn that she wasn’t among the initial winners.
Of course, she understood the intent behind the product, so she wasn’t about to storm off to Kaito. Still, the fact that she wouldn’t be able to drink MK Royal had left her in deep despair, her face buried in the table.
[Tir didn’t win either, but since one person gets chosen every month, wouldn’t you end up winning at least once in, like, a hundred years? I think you should just relax and wait~~]
[Ughhh…… The fact that there’s a tea out there that I’ve never tasted before, it’s just so, so painful……]
Tirtania, who had a very relaxed sense of time, didn’t think missing out on the lottery was a big deal at all. Just as she said, she figured "I’ll probably win sometime within the next hundred years" and left it at that.Well, it also helped that she wasn’t as much of a tea lover as Jutia. She wasn’t particularly invested in MK Royale; rather, she was more interested in the fruit tart from Nifty’s café, which was featured later in the pamphlet.
As they were talking, Jutia suddenly lifted her head from the table, and at the same time, Tirtania’s face lit up as she turned toward the entrance.
[It’s Lillywood-sama!]
[Yeah, yeah. I wonder if she needs something? Or maybe she just came to check on me?]
Muttering to herself, Jutia walked towards the entrance, and just as they had sensed, a knock echoed through the house and Lillywood had arrived.
"Hello, Jutia…… Oya, I see Tirtania is here as well."
[Welcome, Lillywood-sama. Please, come in……]
[Hello there, Lillywood-sama~~]
Jutia and Tirtania greeted Lillywood with smiles…… Lillywood valued communication with her subordinates and kin, so she would occasionally visit their homes for casual chats.
If there were an urgent matter requiring the action of the Seven Princesses, she would use special magic to inform them rather than coming in person. From the atmosphere of her visit, Jutia judged that there wasn’t anything urgent this time, so she invited Lillywood inside. She then took a high-quality bottle of water from her magic box, poured it into a cup, and placed it in front of Lillywood.
Since Lillywood only drank water and didn’t partake in tea, her kin, including the Seven Princesses, always made sure to have fine water stored in their magic boxes to serve her when she visited.
[Here you go, Lillywood-sama…… Did you come to check on me today?]
"Thank you. Yes, that’s part of it…… but I also came to confirm your schedule regarding another matter. Have you heard that Kaito’s tea brand is holding a lottery, selling MK Royale tea leaves to just one winner?"
[Eh? Ah, yes. We were actually, actually just talking about that.]
Lillywood, having confirmed that Jutia knew about MK Royale, gave a nod before getting to the main point.
"Actually, Isis won the first MK Royale lottery."
[Eh!? I- Isis-sama is the first winner!?]
"Yes. And it seems she has an extra serving to spare. She invited me to join her, but…… as you know, I hardly drink anything other than water. So, I asked her if she would be willing to let you, a tea lover, have it instead. She gladly agreed, so I came to check your availability."
[L- Lillywood-sama…… T- Thank you so much!!! Any time works for me!!!]
[Jutia, congratulations~~ That’s great!]
"Fufufu, be sure to thank Isis. Ever since she gained subordinates, she seems to have found more emotional stability, and just like this time, she’s even started actively engaging with other factions…… Things have been truly delightful."
The despair that had gripped Jutia moments ago vanished completely, replaced by a face that radiated pure joy. Seeing this, Tirtania also happily congratulated her.
As Lillywood watched the heartwarming scene with a smile, she genuinely felt pleased at Isis’ gradual change————- how she was becoming more open and willing to interact with people beyond the Six Kings.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [The fact that Tir isn't envious of Jutia and is instead genuinely happy for her really shows her good nature. Well, it probably helps that she’s not as obsessed with tea as Jutia is……]
