I walk hand in hand with Isis-san through the garden of Blue Crystal Flowers. These beautiful blue flowers swaying with the slight breeze are memorable flowers for both Isis-san and I.
The first time I had found such a flower may have been when Isis-san gave it to me when we first met, but in the first place, if Isis-san hadn’t gone to search for a Blue Crystal Flower, we wouldn’t have encountered each other at that time.
If it weren’t for the Blue Crystal Flower, I think the way I had encountered Isis-san would have changed. For example, isn’t it possible that we’d get acquainted after being introduced by Kuro? If that had happened, considering the influence of Isis-san’s magic power of death, it’s naturally possible that Kuro would have set a distance between us which allowed me to have a conversation with Isis-san. There’s also a possibility that she had chosen not to introduce me to Isis-san, considering the danger posed by the influence of her magic power of death.
[……How should I say this…… Encounters are amazing, aren’t they?]
[……Unnn?]
[No, I was just thinking. If Isis-san hadn’t come to the Human Realm to look for Blue Crystal Flowers, I don’t think it would have been easy for me and Isis-san to meet.]
[……That’s true…… I didn’t go out much back then…… and I would hardly go to the Human Realm…… Even back then…… It was my first time going to the Human Realm after several years.]
Yes, while it is Isis-san’s hobby to collect the items that appear in a book, if the items are obtainable in the Demon Realm, she would likely search for them there. And if the setting of the book is the Demon Realm, she would undoubtedly search for them in the Demon Realm as well.
By chance, the setting of the book she happened to read was in the Human Realm, and it was near the capital of Symphonia Kingdom where said Blue Crystal Flower could be found. If one also considers her random thought of buying a book at that time, the likelihood of being able to meet back then is quite miraculous.
And if I had not met Isis-san, I might not have had the chance to get to know Lillywood-san, and with that being the case, I feel like things would turn out really differently.
[When you think about it, the likelihood of that happening is like a miracle…… but that’s how it is with encounters with people, isn’t it? There are a lot of people I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet if the gears of fate had misaligned a little bit.]
[……Unnn…… but…… if you think that way…… I’m really glad…… that I got to meet Kaito.]
[I feel the same way. I’m glad I was able to meet Isis-san. However, when you think about it, you could say that the Blue Crystal Flower was the catalyst for our meeting, right?]
[……Ahh…… You’re right…… It’s because I went looking for a Blue Crystal Flower…… that I got to meet Kaito.]
After saying that much, Isis-san seemed to have thought of something, as a small smile appeared on her lips.
[……In the book I read back then…… the Blue Crystal Flower was the Flower of Happiness…… A mystical flower that works miracles.]
[Right. In that book, it had cured an incurable disease.]
I also had Alice tell me the same book and read it, and indeed, in that story, the Blue Crystal Flower was portrayed as a miraculous flower with mysterious powers.
[……I think the Blue Crystal Flower…… that I found at that time…… was Kaito.]
[Somehow, being told that kinda makes me embarrassed…… but that also makes me happy.]
When I said that with a smile, Isis-san hugged my arm with a happy smile on her lips. Isis-san, leaning her body on me like a child acting spoiled, spoke.
[……Me too…… I’m also happy…… Ehehe…… Kaito…… I loooooove you.]
Isis-san’s innocent laughter and expression were truly adorable, just like that of an angel. How should I say this…… Lately, as her subordinates have increased and she has grown as their King, showing a more mature demeanor, I felt that Isis-san’s true nature hadn’t changed.
Enchanted by her radiant smile, I couldn’t help but let a smile escape as well. Thereupon, gently embracing her, I guided my hand that wasn’t holding her to caress her cheek.
[I love you too, Isis-san. I particularly love seeing you happily smiling as you do now.]
[……The reason why I can smile as I do now…… is because of Kaito.]
[If that’s the case, that’s a smile I can be proud of then. Please continue having such a smile by my side in the future as well.]
[……Unnn…… It will be alright…… Being together with Kaito…… is my happiness.]
Isis-san’s beautiful red eyes looked up at me, and our gazes overlapped. No more words were needed.
Somehow, it feels like we share the same happiness together, and naturally, feelings of endearment for Isis-san well up within me.
As soon as I bent down, Isis-san noticed it immediately, and closing her eyes, she slightly inclined her face upward. Seeing this gesture, as if she accepts my everything, I felt an indescribable affection welling up from deep within my heart, and I quietly placed my lips on her.
Isis-san’s lips, with her low body temperature, felt slightly cold due to the influence of the outside air, but they quickly became warm and soft to the touch. If I were to describe it, it felt as if our body temperatures were being balanced through our lips, creating a somewhat mysterious…… but irresistible pleasantness.
