Chapter 2087: Intermission: Gathering of Gods ②
The beings gathered were of such immense power that each of them could easily destroy multiple worlds on their own, and yet, the topic of their serious discussion was…… something as peaceful as Kaito's birthday.
Nevertheless, the expressions of those present were earnest, and the atmosphere carried a certain gravity to it.
[……Last time, we were completely caught off guard and ended up improvising quite a bit, but we've got plenty of time this time. I'd like to ensure we learn from our previous mistakes and create a solid plan.]
[Well, to some extent, it couldn't be helped. Out of everyone gathered here, the youngest is Fate, but even she is well over 100,000 years old, right? For us, birthdays and ages aren't something we usually pay attention to.]
Shallow Vernal quietly muttered, to which Makina lightly backed her up.
Previously, when they celebrated Kaito's birthday, the preparations were made only after Alice had spread the information.
While individuals like Shallow Vernal already knew Kaito's birthday beforehand, they hadn't acted on it, as the concept of celebrating a birthday was foreign to them.
However, they came to understand later how significant birthdays could be for humans like Kaito and regretted not having prepared earlier. This regret led them to gather such a formidable group this time to ensure meticulous preparations.
[Well, considering Kaito-san lost his parents early on, it seems he didn’t place much emphasis on his birthday either. Our reactions ended up being completely delayed, didn't it?]
[But he was really happy, wasn’t he? He still treasures the painting Shalltear made back then, keeping it prominently displayed…… If Kaito-kun is happy, that makes me happy too, so I want to make this well-thought-out.]At Alice's words, the organizer of the previous party, Kuromueina folded her arms and spoke with feeling. Although the last party had been put together in a rush and caused some commotion, Kaito was very pleased with it, with the painting from the birthday party framed and preserved with Kuromueina's State Preservation Magic and was still displayed in Kaito's room. There was no doubt that the party had become a cherished memory for him.
[We need to discuss a lot, including the details, but I think the first thing to discuss would be the venue, right? I’m not very familiar with Trinia’s circumstances, but last time, that part caused quite a stir, didn’t it?]
[Indeed. Last time, we used the Symphonia Kingdom as the venue, which had a considerable impact on the area.]
[Ah~~ Fate-san? You can speak to me normally. Position-wise, I consider myself more like a subordinate of Kaito-sama.]
[……Errr, yes…… I mean, unn.]
Relatively speaking, among those gathered, Fate was the lowest-ranking, and the situation was understandably nerve-wracking for her.
While Canalis's gesture to ease her nerves caused Fate to feel a bit perplexed, she seemed to decide that refusing might be rude and gave a small nod, shifting to a slightly more casual tone.
[I see. Then let’s start by discussing the venue.]
[Hmm, if we do it in the Human Realm or the Demon Realm, it’s inevitable that it will cause a commotion. What do you think about doing it in the God Realm?]
[Kurorin, doing it in the God Realm might not be a good idea…… If Shallow Vernal-sama descends outside her Sanctuary, that alone would cause a commotion in a completely different way……]
The discussion was first settled on determining the venue. Last time, due to the sudden nature of the event, the party was held in a floating castle hastily constructed by the Gods above Symphonia Kingdom's Royal Capital, where Kaito happened to be at the time, near Alice’s miscellaneous goods store. This time, with ample preparation time, they could even start with selecting a proper location.
As the discussion unfolded, Makina casually muttered.
[No, why not just create it? With the beings gathered here, myself included, creating an entirely new world is an easy task. For the birthday party of my beloved child, we can make as many venues as we need, right?]
[……For a moment, I thought that was absurd, but now that you mention it, it would indeed avoid the commotion we had last time in the Symphonia Kingdom. Plus, we could reuse the same place in the future.]
Hearing Makina's suggestion to create a dedicated world for Kaito's birthday party, Alice was somewhat exasperated but admitted it wasn’t a bad idea.
If the party were held in Trinia, it would cause a commotion no matter the location. In that case, preparing a venue in an entirely separate place was indeed an effective approach.
In fact, among those present, three Gods had experience in world creation, making the task of crafting a small world trivial. A world created solely for Kaito's birthday party could also be completely sealed when not in use, eliminating the need for ongoing management.
Thus, thanks to the overwhelming power of those present, capable of realizing even such extraordinary ideas, it was decided that a world dedicated exclusively for Kaito's birthday parties would be created.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [At the end of the last birthday party, Kaito's narration said "next time, something normal is alright……", and now, I really understand what he meant. If they created a world dedicated for this, they'd end up using it for the following years too……]
