I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)-Chapter 2088: Intermission: Gathering of Gods ③
As a matter of course, these discussions about the surprise party for Kaito's birthday were progressing without his knowledge.
The issue of the venue was resolved through an extraordinary display of godly power, creating a new world to serve as the setting. With that hurdle cleared, the discussion moved on to the next stage.
[That should do for the venue discussion then. There might be disputes over who gets to create it, but well, you all who are capable of world creation can figure that out, whether through negotiation or outright fighting. Now then, moving forward, we need to nail down the specific details…… but we can't decide everything by ourselves, can we?]
Several people nodded in agreement with Alice's words. After all, the group gathered here represented only a fraction of Kaito's acquaintances. It would be problematic to decide the content of his birthday party with only those present.
Of course, since everyone gathered here was a top-tier individual in their respective realms, even if this group decided everything, there wouldn't be anyone in a position to complain but……
[That said, Shall-tan, we can't exactly call every single one of Kai-chan's acquaintances here, right? Even if we use the participants of the previous shipboard party as a reference, there are simply too many people for a discussion.]
[That's true. We'll need to narrow it down to a few representative figures. Regarding the Demon Realm, since Kuro-san and I are here, we can handle communication with the Six Kings. For the Divine Realm, Shallow Vernal-sama and Fate-san should suffice…… Which leaves those with the Human Realm.]
The discussion turned toward adding a few more participants to plan out the party details. The group pondered this for a moment.
After a brief silence, Shallow Vernal indifferently spoke.
[……Lilia then.]
[Yeah…… It would be Lilia-chan, wouldn't it? She's Kaito-kun's lover, a member of the Human Race, so she has knowledge about birthday parties, and she's acquainted with everyone here……]
[I mean, to be honest, shouldn't we have invited Lilia from the beginning? I hold her in high regard, so I have no objections to her joining us.]
[……Well, wouldn’t that just make Lilia-san feel overwhelmed? I'm still not entirely familiar with the world's dynamics, but wouldn't it be better to have Human Realm's three rulers here?]
Indeed, if a representative from the Human Realm were to be included, Lilia was the most fitting choice. Though it was undeniably a misfortune for her, thanks to Kaito, she happened to be acquainted with every high-ranking individual here.
As usual with these stomach-churning situations, many couldn't help but sympathize with Lilia, who was likely to bear the brunt of the burden…… Yet, there was no better candidate.
[I understand your point, Canalis-san, but Kaito-san's home is in a special location not affiliated with any country, so when it comes to communication, Lilia-san is still the most suitable. That said, to ease her inevitable stress…… should we invite Human Realm's three rulers as well? Adding those four to the discussion seems like a good plan.]
[……Errr, Human Realm's three rulers…… which lumps of flesh were those again?]
[Ryze Lia Symphonia, Chris Dia Archlesia, and Laguna Dia Hydra.]
[Oh yeah, that's right! Those were their names!!]
As usual, Makina, who had little interest in anyone besides her children, remembered the names of Kaito's lovers but forgot almost everyone else, making it so the newcomer Canalis had a better grasp of the details than her.
Seeing this, Alice let out an exasperated sigh, glanced lightly around the group, and then spoke.
[Errr, I'll use my clones to go call them. The flow of time in this space should be fine, right?]
[Yes, time here is completely isolated from the outside, so no matter how long one spends here, no time will pass outside.]
[Got it. I'll go bring them right away.]
Thus, it was decided that the Human Realm's three rulers and Lilia would join the birthday party discussion. Needless to say, these four humans would have to endure immense damage to their stomach as a result.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [When the topic of adding people came up, I bet every single reader thought "It’s probably going to be Lilia……", and sure enough, Lilia dutifully steps up to be a black hole for stomachaches……]
