I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace

While Kaito was watching the fireworks with Illness, Lilia, who had just attended the Founding Festival party at the royal castle, was also watching the fireworks from the entrance of the castle with Lunamaria and Sieglinde, looking somewhat tired.

[……Haahhh, I'm really tired. From start to finish, a lot of people kept on greeting me.]

[Lili is now the noble with the most influence in Symphonia after all. There must be many nobles who would want to have connections with you.]

[Seriously, even though not even a glance was spared when Lili first established your Duchy, they're really self-centered.]

[That's the nature of nobles after all. If you don't have a face as thick as that, you aren't fit to be a noble…… Well, putting them aside, look, Lili, I brought a change of clothes, so let's rent a room at the royal castle and change.]

When Lilia grumbled about how tired she was, Sieglinde responded with a wry smile to Lilia, then Lunamaria in casual clothes came with a paper bag.

After helping out at the stall, Lunamaria went back to the mansion and after changing into her own clothes, she brought Lilia's clothes and came back to the castle.

When she heard Lunamaria's words though, Lilia tilted her head in curiosity.

[Change of clothes?]

[……We're going to see the festival, right? Are you going to go in a dress?]

[Ah, that's right! It's for the Founding Festival! We've promised to go around after all, let's go!!!]

[I understand already, so you should first change your clothes……]

Seemingly as if the fatigue from earlier was blown away, Lilia's expression suddenly brightened up. Lilia was originally a princess, and although it was natural, she had never shown her face at public festivals.

It's not that she has never seen such a festival before, but as a member of the Knight Order, she could only participate in the festival as a guard, so she has no experience in actually attending a festival.

The same has been true since the establishment of her dukedom. She would only attend the Founding Festival party at the royal castle, and then, she would return to her residence, not having the opportunity to participate.

This time however, she had promised Lunamaria and Sieglinde in advance that they would visit the stalls together after the party was over.

Receiving her change of clothes with a cheerful expression on her face, Lilia changed into her casual clothes in a borrowed room. Entrusting her dress to a castle maid, she had it delivered to her mansion later.

[……Wait, Head Maid? Is it okay for you to be here?]

[If someone is going to take care of Lilia-sama's dress, they must be someone of befitting status.]

[Ahaha, errr, thank you for always taking care of my brother.]

[No, he's a King and husband worthy of my support, so it's not hard for me.]

The one who came to pick up the changed-out dress was Head Maid Beatrice, royal castle's current Head Maid and one of Ryze's wives.

Incidentally, although Lilia and her friends didn't know it, she's a strong person known as the Super Maid of Heart in the Maid world, and is one respected by maids all over the world.

[Well then, please take care of my dress.]

[Of course. I will deliver it directly to Lilia-sama's mansion.]

[Eh? The Head Maid will? Can I ask why……]

[……No, well, I have a personal matter in your area…… I was thinking of meeting Teacher Illness for the first time in a while.]

[Ahh, I see……]

Beatrice learned the basics of being a maid from Illness when she was working at the royal castle, and she had great respect for Illness.

Even at Maid Olympia, when she was introduced as "Symphonia Kingdom's Number One Maid", she immediately demanded a correction from the announcer, believing that Symphonia Kingdom's number 1 maid was Illness.

[Come to think of it, recently, Illness and the Spirit of the World Tree at Kaito-san's house, Nebula-san, have been getting along very well.]

[Is that so? I couldn't imagine Teacher Illness being particularly close to anyone in particular……]

[It seems that they have a positive influence on each other. Illness herself also said that she has a lot to learn from Nebula-san.]

[A person described that much by Teacher Illness…… I would love to meet her.]

Lilia and Beatrice were having a peaceful conversation, partly because they hadn't seen each other in a while, when there was a knock at their room and they heard Sieglinde's voice.

[Lili, if we don't get going soon, we're gonna be late.]

[Ahh, I'm sorry. I'll be right there. Well then, Head Maid, I will take my leave.]

[Yes, I'm sorry for keeping you.]

[No, let's chat again when you bring my clothes back to my mansion. Well then, if you'll excuse me.]

After seeing Lilia off with her head bowed as she hurried left with these words, Beatrice quietly looked up and seemingly having thoughts in her mind, she muttered.

[……A maid so highly praised by Teacher Illness…… For such a powerful person to exist in the Symphonia Kingdom…… I wonder how much Maid Power she has? Fufu, I'm looking forward to seeing how talented she is. Challenging her to a match might be interesting.]

Despite her polite demeanor, Beatrice, who is known as Super Maid of Heart, has a rather stern personality, not hesitating even against her husband, King Ryze, and would sometimes scold him harshly.

She also had a high desire to improve herself and was quite prideful, so hearing that Illness, whom she respects highly, highly evaluated Nebula, she became interested and is quietly blazing with fighting spirit.

However, her opponent isn't a maid, but the Absolute, so her defeat is a foregone conclusion.

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [If you ask me, she's on a level that I wouldn't know if even Ein-san can win against.]

Serious-senpai : [Hahh!? The restraints on my body have melted away…… All because of candies……]

? ? ? : [You asking for a beating?]

Serious-senpai : [I- I'm sorry……]
