Receiving birthday presents has progressed quite a bit, I've already gotten gifts from over a hundred people. Even so, I still haven't reached even half of the people here. Well, there's no time limit or anything, so taking it slow shouldn't be a problem.
Oh, next is Canalis-san…… On behalf of the people giving the five EX gifts, Canalis-san had been the one giving them, so it feels like this is her sixth appearance, but I haven’t actually received a gift directly from her yet.
Knowing Canalis-san, I doubt it’ll be anything weird, but she’s the type who could probably prepare literally anything if she wanted to, so it’s hard to imagine what it'll be.
[Oh, it’s my turn now. Tahaa~~ Since I already got to give you so many presents with the EX ones, I really feel like I’ve lucked out! Now then, once again, happy birthday, Kaito-sama.]
[Thank you. Canalis-san, you were involved pretty deeply with organizing everything, not just with the EX gifts, and I’m really grateful for that.]
[Oh, no need to mention it. Despite how I look, I’m one of the hardcore loyalists to Kaito-sama, so it’s not a burden at all. Tahaa~~ I’ve been having a great time doing this. Though to be fair, the actual ringleader behind all this Shallow Vernal, I just helped out here and there.]
Her expression remained pletely still, as always, but her cheerful tone conveyed how much fun she was having.
Canalis-san is an Omnipotent and Omniscient God, so Sympathy Magic doesn’t work on her, but she tends to express her emotions quite clearly in her voice, so it’s surprisingly easy to read her mood.
[Now then, for my present…… Since it’s a special occasion, I decided to unleash my God Power a little and whipped up something quite amazing. Tahaa~~ Sorry for being an unrestrained God! Oh, but rest assured, I explained everything in advance to Shallow Vernal, Makina-san, Kuromueina-san, and Alice-san, and got full approval.]
[You even got permission from Makina-san…… So does that mean this has something to do with the world I came from?]
Shiro-san is Trinia's God, and asking for approval from Kuro and Alice was probably to make sure the gift wasn’t overboard. But the fact that she also checked with Makina, who has ties to the Otherworld…… to Earth, made me think the item must somehow be related to my original world.
[Sharp as ever. Yes, the item I prepared for you is this.]
[……Eh? This is…… a tablet device?]
What Canalis-san pulled out was a flat board-shaped object…… no need to gloss it over, it was clearly a fairly large tablet.
[Yes. Well, no point beating around the bush, so I’ll go ahead and reveal the gimmick: this tablet…… lets you watch movies.]
[Eh? Movies, as in, movies from my world?]
[Exactly. The interface looks just like a normal subscription video site, so you can easily search for movies by title or genre. Tahaa~~ Sorry for shamelessly copying a major streaming service! Also, I figured if everything was pletely free, Kaito-sama might feel a bit unfortable. So I used Shallow Vernal’s gift from your last birthday, the game console, as a reference, and set it up so you buy the movies using currency preloaded into the tablet. Thanks to mysterious God Power, the money gets properly paid to the right places. It’s a one-time purchase model, so you can rewatch anything you’ve bought as many times as you want, and even make custom playlists of your favorites.]
[Whoa, that’s amazing! That really gets me excited, there were quite a few movies I’ve been wanting to rewatch, so this makes me really happy.]
Honestly, this really does make me happy. In Trinia, visual magic tools have only just been developed recently, so there’s almost nothing in the way of film-like entertainment. When it es to that kind of content, the world I came from is overwhelmingly superior.
I’ve often found myself wanting to watch movies again, and since it’s been such a long time, I’m genuinely excited to get back into it.
[Canalis-san, thank you so much.]
[Ah, that radiant smile directed at a hardcore loyalist like me is making my heart flutter———– this is dangerous! Is it okay if I just die from how cute that was? That said, I’m really glad you’re pleased. Tahaa~~ Let me know if you e across any good movies.]
[Definitely. Since I’ve got it now, let’s watch some together sometime.]
[Oh my, what a temptingly delightful invitation. When the time es, I’ll be there fully prepared, with popcorn and drinks in hand, of course!]
Now that I think about it, watching movies with someone else sounds like fun too. It’s even possible to do something like a movie date, just like in a theater with a partner…… Hmmm, this really opens up a lot of possibilities. I can’t wait to start using it.
Serious-senpai : [……Umm…… I’d really appreciate it if you could, uh…… not expand his dating options any further……]
