Chapter 2266: Miyama Kaito's Birthday Celebration Party Continues

This chapter is updated by Novels.pl

A world created to celebrate Kaitos birthday Suddenly, time comes to a halt. Even Chronois, who holds Authority over time and space, is powerless before this forced, world-scale temporal freeze. That being the case, the list of possible perpetrators is exceedingly short.

Before long, several figures appeared in the conference room, a chamber in the castle hosting the party, centered around a massive round table.

[What now? Stopping time out of nowhere and calling an emergency meeting?]

Those summoned were the original group involved in planning Kaitos birthday party namely, Shallow Vernal, Kuromueina, Alice, Fate, Lilia, the three rulers of the Human Realm, Makina, and Canalis. Added to that was Electrone, summoned specifically because the time-stop had no effect on her. Eleven people had gathered.

And then, in a flat, emotionless tone, Shallow Vernal, the one who had initiated this emergency meeting, spoke.

[I object.]

[Objection? Shiro, what do you mean?]

[Ahh, Ive got a bad feeling about this already.]

Kuromueina tilted her head at Shallow Vernals abrupt words, while Alice, who seemed to have a sense of where this was going, gave her a slightly exasperated look.

[Its unfair that those of us, like myself and Lilia, who gave our presents to Kaito first didnt get to do any sort of special gesture, just because that trend started later on.]

[Eh? Ehhhh isnt that kind of a petty thing to worry about? I mean, neither I nor Sieg-chan did anything special when we gave him our gifts.]

[The entire precedent was set when you, Kuro, kissed Kaito on the cheek during the game tournament. So if were talking about jumping the gun, you were the first. As for Sieglinde, they promised to share a scarf together, that counts as a corresponding gesture.]

[Ugh W- Well, thats, errr]

Kuromueina had tried to chastise Shallow Vernal, but when it came to who really made the first move among Kaitos lovers, it was hard to deny it had been her. That fact left her unable to mount any strong rebuttal.

[Shes right! Its totally unfair!!! Even my beloved child will be left with this lingering feeling of dissatisfaction if we let things end like this!]

[No, even if we did acknowledge Shallow Vernal-samas claim, Makina, you wouldnt be included]

[Yes. This is specifically a matter of unfairness among the lovers. Mothers are excluded.]

[What!?]

Makina, who had tried to back up Shallow Vernals argument, was summarily cut down, not just by Alice, but by Shallow Vernal herself.

With a soft pon, Electrone placed her hand gently on Makinas shoulder.

Outputting proposal There are times when a mother should be given priority, but Ive judged that now is the time to yield.

[Ugh W- Well, when you put it like that it would be bad if a mother interrupted the time meant for lovers]

Continuing with the next topic That was nothing short of art.

[Electrone really does get me! Thats exactly right! I agonized over that scene for so long. If I just wanted to show off my beloved childs cuteness, a 47-degree angle wouldve been perfect. But when you factor in the scenes before and after, 53 degrees really was the best choice! I spent like three days on that decision, so it makes me so happy that you noticed! Ah, and thats not even the only thing I obsessed over]

[Um, Shallow Vernal-sama. Could we maybe make Electrone a regular for these kinds of events? If I can leave Makina to her, everything gets way easier for me.]

Electrone casually soothed Makina and redirected her attention with expert ease, keeping her from interfering with the meeting. Alice, watching this subtle maneuver, had a complicated expression on her face as she made her suggestion, one that hinted at her usual exhaustion with Makina.

[Lets save that discussion for later. In any case, I cannot accept this kind of unfairness. Lilia and I strongly protest.]

[ ! ? ]

Shallow Vernals words, though delivered in her usual flat tone, somehow carried undeniable conviction. Lilia, meanwhile, looked utterly stunned, her expression clearly saying Wait, Im part of this too!? But in this situation, there was no way she could object aloud.

Serious-senpai : [D*mn it! That airhead God just had to stir the pot But what would they even do now? Its not like we can just give our presents all over again]

? ? ? : [Also, judging from Shallow Vernal-samas statement, Lilia-san is casually being lumped in as well Looks like that composed expression she had at the judges table is coming back to bite her now]
