Shiro-san and Makina-san’s presents were done, and in a way, since the supernatural beings who could be considered anxiety-inducing factors were concentrated at the beginning, I felt a bit more at ease.
“Well, everyone seems to be focused on the presents, but if it’s not your turn, feel free to chat and relax. I mean, it’s understandable to be curious since a bunch of anxiety-inducing folks showed up early on, but let’s take it easy from here on out.”
Hearing Alice say that, I decided to relax a little. Just as I was about to do so, Ein-san handed me a drink, which I used to quench my thirst before spinning the garapon lottery machine for the third time.
Now then, who will it be next…… A strange display appeared.
……EX3? What’s that? It’s clearly not a person’s name, and even if it were, I don’t know anyone by that name.
As I tilted my head in confusion, Alice’s explanation followed.
“Oh, looks like we hit a special one here. This one’s a bit unique…… think of it as a present from an external source. For this, Canalis-san is in charge, so I’ll let her explain.”
“Alright, I’ll take the mic for a bit and explain. To put it very simply, Kaito-sama has a lot of fans even in other worlds. In particular, he’s super popular among World Creators, to the point where he’s even got a fan club. Tahaa~~ but that’s all because of Kaito-sama’s charm! So cool! I really respect you~~…… Ahem. Anyway, those World Creator fans really wanted to give Kaito-sama a birthday present.”
……Uh, I suddenly heard something ridiculously grand in scale…… Errr, I have heard from Canalis-san that I’ve caught the attention of various Gods from different worlds, but a fan club? That’s the first time I heard that…… Wait, something like that actually exists!?
“We totally understand the desire to give Kaito-sama a present, but if we allowed everyone without restrictions, things would get out of hand. So, we set up various conditions and allowed only 5 people, selected through a lottery, to send presents. Tahaa~~ That lottery Kaito-sama spun a while back? That was actually selecting those 5 people. Their presents have already been entrusted to us, which have been assigned as EX1 to EX5.”
I see, I more or less get the gist of things. But if everything she just said is true, that’s kind of terrifying…… I think the lottery showed a number like 170 billion at that time…… Just how big is this fan club……?
W- Well, anyway, it looks like those tagged with EX refers to presents from World Creators of other worlds.
“Errr, EX3 is…… this one. I’ll transfer it to Kaito-sama’s hands.”
“……A crystal ball? Is it an interior decoration?”
Along with Canalis-san’s words, a crystal ball mounted on a pedestal appeared in my hands. The pedestal and the crystal ball seemed to be attached.
At first glance, it looked like a tabletop decoration, but what exactly is this?
“Alright then, I’ll now relay the message from the sender as it is:
……Message end. Incidentally, the World Creator who sent this is a member of the fan club that watches over the growth of Kaito-sama, who is quite young when pared to us, with a gentle gaze.”
……Fumu, in other words, this decoration allows me to experience the scenery of a pletely different world, neither from my original one nor Trinia…… That actually sounds really fun, and honestly, it’s a fantastic gift.
Hearing World Creator made me feel a bit wary at first, but this is an even better present than I expected. I’m really looking forward to trying it out.
[Thank you. I’m excited to use it. Errr, please pass my gratitude to the one who gifted it as well.]
“Please leave it to me…… Alright, I’ll return the mic to Alice-san.”
“Got it. Well then, that concludes this one…… But wow, we’ve had three Gods in a row at the start. Wouldn’t this put a lot of pressure on the people who have to give their presents after this?”
“Shallow Vernal-sama, God of Earth-sama, and a World Creator of a different world…… Yeah, I can see how the fourth person might feel a bit intimidated.”
As I listened to Alice and Fate-san’s conversation, I had to agree. The fact that such incredible figures had gone first meant that the following participants were under quite a bit of pressure. With that thought in mind, I spun the garapon lottery machine once again.
……Yeah, how should I say this…… unn…… I can already tell that Lilia-san’s soul just left her body.
“……Why does this always happen to Lili-tan?”
“……It’s unfortunate, but somehow, thinking it’s Lilia-san we’re talking about here, it kinda makes sense.”
Fate-san and Alice’s reactions were difficult to describe, but yeah, I kinda get it…… It’s rude to say, and I know it must be tough for Lilia-san herself, but the fact that she ended up in such an unlucky spot again…… really feels like the kind of thing that would happen to Lilia-san.
Serious-senpai : [Well, I mean, not just Kaito, but I’m sure the same goes for the readers too…… The moment the thought “the next person is probably in trouble” popped out, I bet a lot of you guys thought of Lilia.]
