While I was receiving gifts during a break between live performances, it seemed the winner of the third round of the game tournaments had just been decided, and an exhibition match was set to take place.
The winner of the third round was Eul. She had already demonstrated impressive skill in the first round, despite it being her first time playing today, and it seemed shed improved even further in the third round, overcoming other skilled participants and even the formidable Amel-san to claim victory.
[Ehehe, Kaito-sama! Looking forward to playing with you!]
[Unn, me too. But wow, Eul, youre amazing. To win despite today being your first time playing, and with skillful players like Amel-san around, thats incredible.]
[I practiced really hard because I wanted to play together with Kaito-sama!]
[I see. That makes me really happy but you know, you couldve just told me, we can play together anytime. Isis-san is pretty good too, and I think it might be fun to play with her and the other members of the Death King camp next time.]
[That sounds super fun! Id love to try it!]
Eul, who was happily wagging her tail as she spoke, looked absolutely adorable, and just watching her made me feel at ease. If I brought a console over to Isis-sans castle, we could play together there. Everyone there tends to be pretty easygoing, so I feel like it could end up being a really fun time.
Since this birthday party gave most people some game experience, it might be a good idea going forward to play games not just with Eul or Isis-san, but with others too. Its a fun option to have.
Well, that aside, even though shes cute, Euls skill is the real deal. Considering she beat Amel-san head-on, shes probably better than me.
The stat adjustment set by Canalis-san was three times the normal level, so while not quite on par with Kuro, she was still a formidable opponent.
In fact, it was a back-and-forth battle with both sides evenly matched, but in the end, Eul landed her special move cleanly and I lost. Still, it was just an exhibition match where the result didnt really matter, and Eul looked happy just getting the chance to play together with me.
That was a great match. Now, while I have everyones attention, Id like to take a moment of your time.
Unn? Is this the third performance or something?
No, not an entertainment event this time, I just wanted to briefly explain and introduce the party favors. You see, weve prepared souvenirs for everyone who participated in Kaito-sans birthday party today, which youll receive as you leave. Let me give a quick preview of whats inside.
So there are party favors huh. Well, I guess that makes sense for a party of this scale but who arranged all this?
First up, from our very own World Creator, God of Creation Shallow Vernal-sama- we have a bottle per person of that unbelievably delicious wine that was also handed out at Kaito-sans housewarming celebration.
As expected of Shallow Vernal-sama. People who didnt attend the last party must be curious about it, and even those who did probably found it too precious to open yet, so Im sure this will be a big hit.
The first gift is apparently a wine made by Shiro-san Ah, that one. I got to try it myself once, its that silver-colored wine that looks like mercury, but it tastes unbelievably good. Ive even heard that among some wine enthusiasts, its rumored to be a legendary wine, so I imagine a lot of people will be thrilled to receive it.
Next up is a gift from the Underworld King, Kuromueina-san from Kuro-san, weve got a set of three flavors of instant baby castella.
Ah, yeah, I heard those are insanely popular and basically impossible to get.
Yes. Kuro-sans trading company has released up to the third edition of their instant series, but every one of them has been so popular that theyre out of stock everywhere. This time is among the latest series, a baby castella version that comes with three flavors.
Its such a Kuro-like gift, but in truth, the instant series is wildly popular, constantly selling out. Ive seen it featured in magazines a bunch of times, and Im sure plenty of people havent even had the chance to try it.
And while its true this ones hard to find, its still a product intended for the general public. Compared to an ultra-premium wine, this might feel like a more approachable kind of gift for people whod be intimidated by something that fancy.
Following that, the three nations of the Human Realm have collaborated to prepare a commemorative coin. Its a gold coin with Kaito-sans necklace depicted on the reverse, and it can actually be used as real currency.
Oh yeah, I think thats a cultural thing in the Human Realm, right? Like, commemorative coins are made for every Hero Festival?
Yes, thats right. Theyre relatively easy to produce, so you often see commemorative coins with the festival number stamped on them. They also make them for significant milestones, like a 50-year anniversary of a nations founding, so there are quite a few out there. Most of them are copper coins though
A commemorative coin!? T- Thats insane. Why is a commemorative coin being made just for my birthday!? Its terrifying, honestly, it makes my stomach hurt and I wish theyd go easy on me Still, I guess I should be thankful that the design doesnt feature my face or name or anything. With just the necklace on it, the average person might just think its commemorating some magic tool or a gemstone. So the embarrassment is somewhat reduced No, on second thought, isnt this still pretty embarrassing!?
Serious-senpai (asleep) : [Its not just me Somehow Kaitos taking damage to his stomach too]
