You were a servant in your line of work?

'Yes, they are. Oh, it's called a housemaid's job in this world. Does that suit you, maid's outfit?

Lilith smiled when she came back and smiled and turned once in front of me as if she was proud of her outfit.

A dark green apron dress that was almost black.

No, if we're going to call it a maid's dress, to fit this era, I'd better call it a maid's dress.

Yeah. Well, it looks good on you.

'Hmm. I'm glad to hear it. Well, I'll get right to work on dinner.

Let's do it. Oh, and,

Yes?

...... I finally understand what it means for you to use colored contacts to hide the color of your eyes.

Yeah?

At first I thought it was simply for the purpose of hiding the fact that he was a demon, but as a matter of fact, there was another meaning hidden in the book.

I looked it up in the book in the archives and found out clearly.

In this world, 《Ember Eyes》 is an object of ridicule.

It's also at a level that's rather not a joke.

The reactions of the bonbon nobles just now were nothing special.

In this era, the people of the [Amber Eye] have become difficult to live with in a different way than before.

''In the past two hundred years, the Demon Race has lost most of its power.

Lilith spun out the words as she cooked.

I silently rolled up the pages of the book I brought out of the storeroom.

'The heroic party led by Abel-sama defeated the Demon King. After that, in many places, the humans challenged the remnants of the demon race to war against the ...... humans and the humans won.

Okay.

Yes. And the demon race was destroyed. With the demon race destroyed, the world was at peace and the level of the magicians decreased. Result.

"All the way down to the fact that no one fears the amber eye anymore and that if you train it, you'll have the most powerful force in the world...

You're right, Master Abel.

The small, lilting sound of a knife hitting a chopping board and the gentle popping of firewood in the fireplace as it burned.

It was a strange, quiet conversation.

'...... Lilith. You, human. No. Do you hate us?

Our fight was the trigger for the demon tribe's destruction.

That day, that time, we took out the Demon King. I mean, his father.

''Yes. Well, there were days when I hated him and there were days when I cried.

The sound of knives stopped.

I didn't check it because I was reading a book, but I could clearly feel Lilith's gaze from the kitchen.

''But Abel-sama was desperate to protect Watashi, right? Besides, after that, you traveled with me to find a land where I could live safely. Do you remember that?

Yeah.

'It was only a short time. Only about half a month. But then Master Abel taught me how to use magic and the laws of the human city. The use of magic and the laws of the human city. And ...... and much more.

Don't mess with me. You used to be such a straight shooter.

'Hmm. A good woman wears her secrets like earrings. As my mom at the bar that employed me once told me.

That Lilith one has become strangely colorful over the past 200 years.

I mean, she used to be such an obedient and adorable little girl.

"So...

Lilith moved closer to me.

Then she got down on one knee and looked into my face.

"I have great admiration for you, Abel-sama.

Our faces are too close to each other, no matter how much.

I was starting to feel somewhat embarrassed, so I decided to cover the lower half of my face with the book I had in my hand.

'I see,'

If you think about it, that Lilith guy has been waiting for me to reincarnate for 200 years, and he even provided an environment where I could live a comfortable life.

Even though I felt indebted to him for saving my life, he shouldn't be able to do that much with an ordinary feeling.

Thank you .......

So I decided to whisper that to myself.

After all, it's embarrassing to talk about my feelings.

Somehow I couldn't stay, so after that I decided to immerse myself in the world of books, not even making eye contact with Lilith.
