I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 1763: Tea Party with Illness ①

After a night passes, the next day. At snack time, a little after lunchtime, as promised yesterday, I decided to enjoy tea with Illness-san.

What’s important here is the location of the tea party. In fact, this time, instead of my room, I have been invited to Illness-san’s room, so I will be going there…… but this is actually the first time I have been to Illness-san’s room.

Illness-san was originally a live-in maid, so it’s only natural for her to have a room within Lilia-san’s mansion…… but in the first place, she gives the impression that she had been constantly working to the extent that I can hardly see her resting. In fact, it feels like she’s always working as a maid, and I can’t imagine her being in her own room at all.

I wonder what kind of room she has? Despite her petite stature, Illness-san gives off an adult and elegant vibe, so I imagine she would have a stylish room that would suit her image. Illness-san likes roses, so wouldn’t it be possible for her to have a rose-styled interior design matched with rose-patterned furniture?

Looking at it the other way though, it’s also possible her room might be simple, with only bare essentials in it, as she rarely uses that room. The former kind of feels like Rosemary-san while the latter is more like Ein-san’s room…… Well then, which would it be then?

Feeling curious, I arrived at Illness-san’s room. In terms of its position in Lilia-san’s mansion, it’s close to the corridor leading to my home, but when you consider the overall mansion, it’s a room in a corner. This may just be my imagination, but it feels like Illness-san herself might have chosen the room towards the corner on her own accord.

As I pondered this, I knocked on the door, and after a few moments, the door opened. There, I was greeted by Illness-san, dressed in what seemed to be casual attire for her day off———– a white top and a black long skirt.

[Hello, Illness-san. Thank you for the invitation.]

[Welcome, Kaito-samaaaaa. Pleeeeease, come in.]

[Excuse my intrusion.]

As Illness-san, wearing a simple yet elegant casual outfit, ushered me in, perhaps because she exuded the charm of an adult, I couldn’t help feeling slightly nervous entering her room.

I had various guesses in mind, but upon entering the room…… It turned out to be incredibly stylish.

The furniture is beautifully arranged to match the antique-like elegance and atmosphere of the room. It was a room that made one think “stylish room” at first glance.

While I used to borrow a room in Lilia-san’s mansion, the atmosphere in Lilia-san’s room and the furniture within it were clearly different. It seems that Illnesssan had personally chosen and furnished her room separately.

The lighting magic tool installed in the room also had a warm, slightly orangey hue, giving it the atmosphere of a room in Western-style house from a movie.

[It’s a very stylish room, the furniture has a calm and elegant atmosphere to it. It somehow fits with Illness-san’s image.]

[Kuhihi, hearing you say thaaaaat makes me very happy. Pleeeeeease, take a seat heeeeeere.]

[Ah, yes. Excuse me then.]

Upon closer inspection, it seems even the carpets and rugs are chosen to match the overall ambiance of the room, giving the whole place a great sense of unity. With roses in the vase by the window, there are touches here and there that reflect Illness-san’s personality. The room truly resonates with Illness-san’s image as a stylish and elegant adult lady.

Or rather, it’s slightly too stylish that it makes me nervous. I think this kind of chic and retro look is only possible if one has good taste, and at least, I don’t think I could make such a stylish room even if I had the same furniture.

[Please be at eaaaaase, think of this place as your roooooooom.]

[Thank you. Ah, there are roses on the table too?]

[Yeeeees. This tiiiiiime, since I’m inviting Kaito-samaaaaa, I’ve put a bit of effort into setting the place uuuuuup. My room uuuuuuusually is a bit simpler, you knoooooow?]

On the table in the center of the room, which Illness-san has prepared for today’s tea party, there are three roses in a stylish vase, creating a pleasant mood.

Not too many, not too few, perhaps having just three roses make up a good balance.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Guh, j- just as Kaito had arrived…… there’s already specially-placed three roses on the table…… three roses that apparently mean “I love you”. A- A swift attack right from the start……]
