Chapter 694: Lets Build a House ⑦ (2/2)

I was so moved that I wanted to thank her, but Alice stopped me. Thereupon, scratching her head with an awkward smile on her face, Alice spoke.

[……Unfortunately, I can't provide such outrageous materials that could temporarily receive data from the future. I'm only able to complete this room with her help……]

[……Still, you're the one who thought of it, right? Thank you.]

[……You're welcome.]

After I smiled towards Alice, who turned away as if she's feeling embarrassed, I thanked the person who should have prepared the materials for this room within my mind.

……Shiro-san, thank you very much.

(It's just as I told you. As long as I'm here, you don't need to give up on anything……. Well, if Kaito-san is happy, I'm happy too.)

Yes, I really don't know how to express my gratitude to you…… One might think that it's calculating of me to say this at a moment like this, but let me tell you this.

Shiro-san, I'm really glad you're here…… I love you.

After expressing my feelings to Shiro-san, I turned my gaze back forward…… and saw Isis-san, trembling with moist eyes, looked up and hugged Alice.

[ ~ ~ ! ? Shalltear!]

[Dowaaa!? W- What are you suddenly doing!?]

[……Thank you…… I'm happy…… very…… happy.]

[Ahh, geez! Don't cling to me! Hands off! I'm normal. Even if you cling to me, no tent would be rising here!]

[……What the heck are you talking about……]

Even though Alice is usually businesslike with most things…… She often shows her gentleness to those who had gained her trust. As was the case during the Six Kings Festival, even though she won't say it out loud, she was still thinking of ways to help Isis-san with her magic power of death.

I guess that's also why she was able to prepare a room like this. As I looked at that pleasant scene, I was…… how should I say this? …… I guess I was feeling happiness.

Around the time Kaito understood what that room was, in the God Realm's Sanctuary…… the place where Shallow Vernal resides, the three Supreme Gods had visited.

[Excuse our intrusion, Shallow Vernal-sama. I've heard that Miyama has built a house, so I thought that the God Realm should prepare something for housewarming, so I came to consult with Shallow Vernal-sama.]

Yes, the reason why Chronois, Fate and Life visited was because they heard that Kaito had built a house. Being that Kaito, someone important to the God Realm, had his house constructed, they decided to seek judgment from Shallow Vernal, the head of the God Realm, as to what they should do for the housewarming.

When she heard Chronois' words, who spoke on behalf of the other two Supreme Gods, Shallow Vernal slowly turned around.

[Yes, you're right. I understand. Let me hear your suggestions.]

[ [ [ ! ? ] ] ]

When they saw Shallow Vernal looking back at them, the three Supreme Gods became astonished, and began transmitting their thoughts to each other at super speed.

(Hey!? God of Space and Time! God of Life! Is it just me, or was that a big smile on Shallow Vernal-sama's lips……)

(U- Umu. It's not just you…… This is the first time since the beginning of time that I have seen Shallow Vernal-sama in such a good mood.)

(……Y- Yes, I'm surprised too. H- How beautiful…… S- So beautiful that I can't directly look at it.)

Yes, when she turned around, Shallow Vernal had a smile on her face that belied her usual blank expression, and it was obvious at a glance that she was in a good mood.

Not only that, as Shallow Vernal lightly waved her finger, and a table…… and ”four seats” were prepared.

[Might as well have some seat with me. I allow it. Let's have some tea and talk about this matter.]

It was truly a dramatic situation. In the past, only Kuromueina and Kaito had been allowed to sit with Shallow Vernal, and especially for the three Supreme Gods, it was a truly astonishing development.

Of course, there was no way they could refuse it. After the three of them deeply bowed to Shallow Vernal, they moved to their chairs, nervous expressions on their faces.

(……T- To be seated at the same table as Shallow Vernal-sama…… I- I'm so honored that my body is shaking. God of Fate, God of Time and Space, is my expression strange?)

(I- It's alright…… I'm just as nervous as you…… I mean, this is an unexpected situation…… but this is that, right?)

(……Umu. The cause is definitely Miyama. I can't think of any other reason why Shallow Vernal-sama would be in such a good mood.)

(Kai-chan really is amazing……)

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……Alice…… is normal?]

? ? ? : [No, why are you tilting your head!? Alice-chan is normal and devoted to Kaito-san!]

Serious-senpai : [……”I couldn't find anyone I would feel more comfortable with, Iris.”]

? ? ? : [……Ahh, no, that was only before I met Kaito-san…… Iris-san is only a best friend for Alice-chan.]

Serious-senpai : [……”If my little sister had run up to me and passionately kissed me right there, it would have been a happy ending”.]

? ? ? : [……Ahh~~ Errr……]

Serious-senpai : [”My little sister is the most beautiful woman in the world. When we met again, she told me that she would be Big Sister's wife”……]

? ? ? : [……I retract my previous statement. Alice-chan is ”now” normal and devoted to Kaito-san.]
