After enjoying Camellia-san’s performance, we finally headed for the last of the Seven Princesses, Rosemary-san’s performance, but since there was still some time before her performance, we decided to take a short tour around the venue of Camellia-san’s performance first.
Since the Harmonic Symphony was really a festival of many different kinds of performances, it was easy to kill time like this.
After watching several performances and creative dances, I suddenly felt a gaze and turned around. Thereupon, I found a woman staring at me with a serious expression on her face.
She has semi-long reddish-brown hair, and what I think you call a wolf cut? Anyhow, it was a woman with hair that bounces outward around her collar.
She dressed in a leather jacket over a tank top, with denim shorts covering her lower body, making her outfit look a bit like a punk’s outfit.
Her distinctive features were her sharp eyes, and the dog…… no wolf ears and tail. Is she a Beastman? She didn’t seem familiar though?
[……Ummm?]
[It might be abrupt of me to ask this, but am I right to assume you’re the person known as Miyama Kaito?]
When I asked her if she had some business with me, the woman responded with a serious expression on her face.
[Eh? Yes, that’s right.]
[I see……]
The woman apparently knew who I was, and after nodding lightly to my response, she seemed to be thinking for a moment.
Then, after a few seconds of silence, she spoke.
[……I’m sorry for suddenly calling out to you. I’m Ryukoricyan. Would it be alright if I could talk to you, even if it’s just for a couple of minutes?]
[Yes, I don’t really mind……]
[Thank you. I originally should have taken the proper steps to meet with you, so I apologize. I thought I might be a nuisance, but after coincidentally meeting you like this, I just couldn’t not call out to you…… Do you mind if I call you Kaito? You can just call me Cyan too.]
[I understand. Cyan-san it is then. So, do you have some business with me?]
Cyan-san had this cool and unfriendly impression when she spoke, but I could feel that she was trying to be considerate with me, so I don’t think Cyan-san is a bad person.
[You have a Catreid in your home, don’t you? That cocky, undisciplined, whimsical and uninhibited fool who acts on the spur of the moment when she thinks of something……]
[Eh? Errr, there is a Catreid living in my home but…… are you acquainted with Caraway?]
[……I’d shake my head if I could, but yes, I do know her. Infuriating it may be, I do have a connection with her…… She’s the one I hate the most.]
[……………………]
Hmmm, she was cursing at her. However, it didn’t seem like she hated Caraway as much as she said she did. Somehow, it kinda felt just like the connection between Chronois-san and Ein-san. Even though she talks badly about her, I never feel any malicious intent of wanting to disparage her.
Thereupon, Cyan-san looked as if she was thinking again, and after lightly scratching her cheeks, she vigorously bowed her head.
[……Thank you.]
[Huh? A- About what? Suddenly thanking me……]
[It’s for helping her out after she did something stupid…… I had been wanting to thank you once I met you. I didn’t like her one bit, but seeing someone I had been competing against for so long just falling to ruin like that makes me so angry. However, I didn’t have the power to do anything about it. I’m grateful to Kaito for that.]
[……Errr, I’m sorry if I’m mistaken. Is Cyan-san the Demon that used to live next to Caraway’s territory?]
[……Yeah.]
I knew it. Cyan-san was the Demon Caraway mentioned before during the White God Festival. The person she was competing against, living next to her previous territory.
If I recall, Caraway also spoke of Cyan-san in a sarcastic and angry manner, but on the other hand, she also said that she trusted her, so I guess they were rivals who approved of each other.
As I was thinking this, Cyan-san raised her face and spoke to me with a smile.
[I’m sorry for taking up your time. With this, I’ve finished my business…… Ahh, I don’t mind if it’s just as much as possible, but please don’t tell her that you met me.]
[……I understand.]
[Well then, please take care of that idiot.]
[Ahh, Cyan-san.]
[Unnn?]
After reflexively stopping Cyan-san, who was about to leave, I thought for a moment before speaking.
[……If you would like, please come visit my house sometime. I’m sure Caraway would like to meet and talk to you……]
[……I…… suppose. I guess it would be entertaining seeing her stupid face……]
[Yes, I think Caraway would be happy about that.]
[Hmph…… You’re a good guy. I like you…… Well then, I’ll come visit when I get the chance. See you later, Kaito.]
[Yes, see you.]
After smiling happily, Cyan-san lightly waved her hand goodbye before leaving. As I thought, even though she might sound rough, she was a nice person.
