Using the Teleportation Magic Tool, I moved to the front of Yggfresis, Demon Realm. There, I held up my card-based permit, and an entrance appeared before me, to which I passed through.

What awaited beyond was the Garden of Myriad Flowers, where Rosemary-san lived. I had contacted her beforehand about the visit, so she was waiting near the entrance to greet me.

[Hello, Rosemary-san. Sorry for the sudden visit today.]

[Hello, Kaito-kun. Don’t worry about it. If it’s Kaito-kun, you’re welcome anytime.]

Since it had been more of a sudden whim, I’d only confirmed her schedule yesterday before deciding to visit today. Despite the abruptness, Rosemary-san welcomed me with a gentle smile.

As we walked toward Rosemary-san’s home, we engaged in a bit of light conversation.

[By the way, thank you for the birthday party, Rosemary-san.]

[Not at all. I was nervous with so many strangers, but I had a lot of fun. Still, Kaito-kun, after that extravagant ship party, now such an incredible birthday party too, you’ve been busy.]

[Yeah, the gap between the ship party and the birthday party wasn’t that long. Well, for the birthday one, I was the one being celebrated, so I didn’t do much prep myself…… but having two gatherings where top figures from around the world show up in such a short time, even I think it’s kind of insane.]

[Fufufu, it really is. Normally, you’d never get a group like that together. It just shows how popular you are, Kaito-kun. That’s pretty amazing, but I bet it’s also exhausting for you, being at the center of it all.]

Now that she mentioned it, there has been a lot happening lately, the ship party, the opening of the brand store, the birthday party……

But well, even if things were a bit chaotic, I honestly enjoyed all of it, so there was no problem.

While chatting about such things, we arrived at Rosemary-san’s home. After being prompted to take a seat, Rosemary-san began preparing tea and spoke up.

[By the way, what brings you here today, exactly? Not that you need a reason, if you came just to hang out, I’d be happy either way.]

[Ahh, actually, there’s something I wanted to show you…… Errr, you know about recorder magic tools, right?]

[Unn. They’re getting quite popular, and I’ve been seeing more photos in magazines and such. They’re amazing. It’s different from artwork, but being able to capture scenery with such accuracy is incredible. Art has its charm, and so do photos, neither is better than the other, but being able to see places you’ve never visited in such detail is a wonderful thing.]

Although Rosemary-san is extremely shy, she opens up quite a bit with those she trusts. She even gave her own thoughts on recorder magic tools.

Well, considering they’ve become such a global phenomenon as a groundbreaking technology, I figured she’d know about them. Still, I was relieved that the conversation would go smoothly.

[Yes, it’s those magic tools. I actually own the latest version, since I’m involved with making the Nifty booklets.]

[Ah, right, they do use photos in those. The articles are really interesting, I look forward to them every month.]

Strictly speaking, I keep up with the newest versions of the recorder magic tools because of a promise I made with Alyssa, but that doesn’t mean they’re exclusively hers, I use them regularly too. When I summon Alyssa with Αναμνήσεις, I let her use it first, but otherwise, I use it to take photos myself.

[I think the one making the booklet will be happy to hear that…… So, about the recorder magic tool, it can capture scenery very accurately.]

[Unn.]

[And, since you mentioned before that you wanted to see Sanctuary’s flower fields, I asked permission from Shiro-san and took some photos for you……]

[ ! ? ! ? ]

Yes, the reason I came today was to show Rosemary-san the photos of Sanctuary's flower fields that I had asked Shiro-san for permission to take.

When I saw that Eternal Flower had appeared in the rankings, I remembered how Rosemary-san had once said she wanted to see Sanctuary's flower fields. It would be difficult for her to actually visit, but I figured if I could show her photos, that might be enough.

Upon hearing my words, Rosemary-san whipped around with great energy, speaking to me with an excited tone.

[S- Sanctuary's flower fields!? I- I want to see them! Can I?!]

[Ah, yes. Not the entire Sanctuary, but I was allowed to photograph the flower fields in the area where Shiro-san usually has tea. I had them developed and brought them with me.]

[T- Thank you! Kaito-kun!!!]

[Eh? Wait, whoa!?]

Overcome with emotion, Rosemary-san suddenly jumped into my arms. I reflexively caught her, startled by the sudden move…… Whoa, her waist is so slim, her body so soft, and she smells like roses…… I could tell just how excited she was, but the surprise hit me so hard, my brain couldn’t quite catch up right away.

Serious-senpai : [……Huh? Why are you just using the title as-is and seamlessly diving into flirting!?]

? ? ? : [……Is seamlessly even the right word in this context?]

Serious-senpai : [Shut up!!!]
