Chapter 583: 583

As I saw the sun was beginning to set outside the window, Alice told me that “the party was ready”, so I went out of the store…… and became dumbfounded .

What the heck is happening? I thought I was getting used to the absurdity of this world to some extent but……

[……Hey, Alice . ]

[What is it?]

[Could it be that I’m seeing things? It’s just outside of the royal capital…… I think I’m seeing a “castle floating in the sky”……]

[You’re seeing it right . ]

The thing I was dumbfoundedly staring at was a huge castle floating in the south of the royal capital . If I had seen it when I was completely ignorant of this world, I would have just thought it was straight of fantasy, impressed by its beautiful color, just like white shining porcelain .

But the premise this time was different . Looking at the floating castle in the distance, how should I say this…… I have a very bad feeling about the situation .

[……If I remember correctly, there was nothing like that over there, right?]

[Yes . “It was built today after all” . ]

[……Hey, Alice . ]

[What is it?]

[……I don’t think this was the case but……]

[It’s the venue for Kaito-san’s birthday party . ]

[………………]

Apparently, the prediction I had in mind had perfectly hit the bulls-eye .

This is strange…… Something is fatally strange . I thought it would be something like a home party in Lilia-san’s mansion or something like that but…… a castle!?

[……Ummm, I’ll ask just in case, but what’s with that castle?]

[It’s something the Gods built in half a day . ]

[For me, errr…… It was nice how the guests are limited to my acquaintances but……]

[Kaito-san, Kaito-san…… That’s impossible . Your acquaintances are the heads of this world, you know……]

[……I guess you’re right . ]

I wonder why I haven’t thought about that? The acquaintances I have…… are the three rulers of the Human Realm, the Six Kings of the Demon Realm, and the three Supreme Gods and the God of Creation of the God Realm…… even a God from another world .

If Shiro-san was going to participate in my birthday party, the Gods would become enthusiastic about it, and with the participation of the Six Kings and the rulers of the Human Realm, it’s to be expected that it would be an extravagant party…… No, but that doesn’t mean I could have imagined why they’d build a new flying castle for a birthday party .

[……Hey, Alice . ]

[What is it?]

[I can 100% understand trying to make the birthday party extravagant . However, the one who came up with the idea of building a castle …… Who is it?]

[Shallow Vernal-sama and Eden-san, from what I heard? It seems that for once, they were unconditionally cooperating with each other . ]

[The worst tag-team ever was born!?]

A tag-team of the two pinnacle Gods, who have their ability to read the mood turned off by default, possessing power to achieve ideas that are out of the norm…… They’re the worst combination imaginable .

No, of course I’m glad that they’re trying to celebrate my birthday, and I appreciate their thoughts…… but these two are people who definitely don’t understand moderation at all……

[I mean, how am I supposed to get to that castle?]

[What are you talking about? Kaito-san has this reliable Transcendental Beauty of a lover, don’t you? Your love-dovey lover will carry you, so there’s no problem at all!]

[……Can I request for a change to Kuro or Isis-san?]

[Wait, Kaito-san!?]

I mean, hearing Alice carry me reminds me of the trauma I had after visiting the Demon Realm……

[It’s alright! I’ve come up with the best method to transport you this time! It will feel like you’re just riding a big ship!]

[……Just hearing you say “transport” completely loses my trust in your method . Also, I’m not sure if it’s my sixth sense telling me this or not, but I feel like I should run away right now . ]

[Hahaha, you’re joking around again…… Well then, please get on this . ]

[No, I’m not joking around…… wait, what the heck is this?]

Alice took out a circular wooden board with a radius of about 1 meter…… and when I got on it, the wooden board floated in the air and automatically moved…… isn’t what happened . Staying away from it with apprehensions in mind, I saw a mischievous smile suddenly appear on Alice’s lips .

I looked back at the wooden board carefully, but I couldn’t find anything unnatural about it at all .

[……Alice, be honest . What kind of magic did you cast on this wooden board?]

[Eh? It’s just State Preservation Magic to prevent it from breaking though . ]

[……………… . . ]

[No, no, I’m saying the truth here! Come on, we’re running out of time here, so please get on already!]

Rather than just looking questionable, this thing is really suspicious . However, we certainly are keeping everyone waiting, so we’d better hurry .

Thinking about it for a while, I timidly got onto the wooden board but…… nothing special happened .

[……Arehh?]

[See, there’s nothing weird about it, right? Well then, let’s go~~]

[Y- Yeah…… No, wait, why are you taking out a new wooden board?]

As I was feeling relieved that nothing happened, Alice then took out a long, thin wooden board, which I think I remember seeing somewhere, before attaching its end parts to the round wooden boards and casted a State Preservation Magic to keep it from breaking apart……

[……Wait, Alice . Is it just my imagination? It kind of looks like a “seesaw”, you know……]

[……Tehe~]

[I’m get———- [ Angle, check! Fire! ] ———-Uwaaaahhhh!? Aliiiiiice! You better remember this!!!]

Seeing through what was going to happen, I hurriedly tried to get off the wooden board but…… Alice’s palm was faster as she smacked the wooden board opposite of the one I was on .

And then, the worst thought I had really happened, as my body soared into the sky .

Dear Mom, Dad————- I was thinking that Alice was a bit quiet lately…… but she went and did something outrageous again . Yes, this would definitely get me to the venue quickly, but there were definitely other ways to get there, right? It was also obvious that she chose this method of transportation because she finds it interesting . But this freaking b*stard————- I’m definitely going to scold her later .

? ? ? : [With Alice-chan’s method of transportation, you can fly to your destination in a flash! You’ll experience a comfortable means to travel through air! Eh? Assurance that you’d live through it? Don’t ask m…… Alice-chan that! You’re not Kaito-san! The only one with aftercare is Kaito-san . ]

Serious-senpai : [……T- There are too many things I want to tsukkomi at . ]
