After I had fun conversing with Camellia-san and Rosemary-san, I tried heading for Lillywood-san with the card Camellia-san gave me.
However, as I was heading for the entrance of the venue, I heard an excessively cheerful voice call out to me.
[Master! Master!]
[…………………]
It was Blossom-san. Looking in the direction of her voice, I saw her at a nearby table, looking extremely happy as she waved her hands at me.
How should I say this…… She feels like a big dog wagging its tail upon seeing its master…… Also, just as usual, her voice is very loud.
I have this indescribable feeling at the attention that had gathered because of her loud mouth, but it would be rude to ignore her here, so I walked to the table where Blossom-san was, and at the same table I also saw Lillie-san.
Blossom-san tried to vigorously get up from her chair when I came near the table, but just before she did, Lillie-san quietly spoke.
[……Blossom.]
[!? Ah, yes…… I’m sitting quietly.]
Although she had only called her name, Blossom-san’s shoulders jerked. She then stopped trying to stand up and sat back down in her seat.
I could somehow see the power relationship between the two of them, and it seemed as if Blossom-san couldn’t stand against Lillie-san.
[Lillie-san, Blossom-san, hello.]
[Hello, Miyama Kaito-san. Just as back in the Harmonic Symphony, it’s a pleasure to meet you here.]
[Good day, Master! What a wonderful coincidence to run into each other like this in such a large venue!!! This must be the result of the strong bond between Master and I!!!]
[……Blossom, tone down your voice a bit.]
[Ah, yes. Please excuse me.]
It really was as I thought. Blossom-san tends not to listen to others when her tension is high, but it doesn’t feel that way when she’s dealing with Lillie-san.
I mean, what kind of relationship do they have that Lillie-san can make the excitable Blossom-san quiet with a single word?
As I was thinking about this, Lillie-san, looking as if she had read my surface thoughts and sensed what I was thinking, spoke with a slight smile on her face.
[The answer to Miyama Kaito-san’s question is simple. I have been instructing Blossom-san since shortly after she had materialized as a Spirit. In a manner of speaking, we have a relationship that can best be described as that of master and apprentice.]
[I see……]
Blossom-san seemed like the athletic-type, so I guess that’s why she was obedient to her master Lillie-san huh?
[Yes, Lillie-sama has given me a lot of useful guidance. Sometimes gently, sometimes strictly, sometimes very strictly, sometimes unreasonably strictly……]
[…………………]
Ah, that wasn’t it. It seems that she was obedient to Lillie-san’s words more due to fear.
At any rate, since she emphasized the word “strictly” three times, she must have been having a rough time.
However, I was a little surprised. I thought Lillie-san seemed rather gentle, but she might actually be a spartan teacher.
As I was thinking this, Lillie-san spoke as she let out a sigh.
[No, as for me, I did want to teach her gently, and I did teach her that way in the beginning. However, Blossom-san had the tendency to be very conceited and get carried away, so it was inevitable that I had to teach her more and more strictly.]
[……Ahh, I see.]
Her words were very convincing. Blossom-san certainly does make a tremendous subjective impression, and when her tension is high, she doesn’t listen to others and seems to get carried away easily.
She’s basically an optimist, a forward-thinking person, and if those around her don’t act as her brake, she’s the type that would keep on charging forward.
[At any rate, it’s no exaggeration to say that I am the person I am today thanks to Lillie-sama’s guidance, so even though she was strict, it was wonderful guidance that made me feel her affection!]
[……Unfortunately, I couldn’t correct her personality. It seems like being too positive is also puzzling.]
Seeing Blossom-san, her trembling from a few minutes ago completely gone, clenching her fist in a tight grip as if somewhat overcome with emotion, Lillie-san let out a sigh, looking somewhat astounded.
But well, I personally know someone who was more optimistic than Blossom-san.
[……Even more than Blossom-san, who in the world could that be?]
[It’s Tre-san from Kuro’s place.]
[Fumu, I know of her name, but I haven’t talked to her myself.]
[That person’s quite the amazing one too.]
I mean, I’m feeling kinda doubtful if Tre-san even thought of anything negative. After all, even though Tre-san is also strictly scolded by Ein-san and Zwei-san…… Not only did she not feel afraid of the two of them, it didn’t feel like she learned her lesson at all.
Well, that bottomless optimism can also be said to be Tre-san’s charm, so generally speaking, I can’t really say that part of her is a bad thing……
