In the ship party hosted by Kaito, it’s fair to say that there are almost no complete commoners. For example, Mizuhara Kaori and Mikumo Akane may refer to themselves as commoners, but they are otherworlders and former Hero Actors.
Even Kaito’s parents, they have received the blessings of the God of Fate and can hardly be described as commoners. Sieglinde and Lunamaria are also naturally out of the ordinary, and there are few people who are completely ordinary and could be called a commoner.
……And now, Greene and Anne, who are in a sense, that scarce complete commoners…… were shivering with pale faces at the edge of the venue.
[……U- Umm, Anne-san? I- I’m a bit dizzy, short of breath and my heart’s beating fast…… Y- You mind if I go to the infirmary?]
[Please stop that. Please don’t leave me in a horrible place like this. I mean, Greene-san…… Even though you were so motivated in the waiting room earlier……][N- No, but umm…… Don’t you think we should go through much more stages first!? I did say that I wanted to meet rich people. I did say that but…… I thought they’d be lower-class nobles or wealthy merchants. I assumed I could make friends with people in that area and, if possible, enter the social circles I longed for…… I assumed the most remarkable one would at most be a Count! The top of each realm appearing here had never even crossed my mind!]
Yes, the two didn’t know any of the other participants because they had moved to the waiting room immediately after going through the reception. Although they encountered Tiamat on the way, she was in her Humanized form and the two were unaware that she was a Six King Executive.
After getting used to the luxurious atmosphere of the ship to some extent in the waiting room, they finally arrived at the venue for the main event…… where they found the pinnacles of each realm, the Six Kings’ Executives and other famous people…… People far beyond who they expected.
[……B- By the way, are you alright there, Anne-san?]
[I feel like crying and feel like I’m about to puke…… This isn’t just at the level of being out of place…… I- I mean, t- t- t- the one over there…… That is…… the God of Creation Shallow Vernal-sama…… right?]
[Ahh, if Anne-san can see her too, then that isn’t my hallucination I’m seeing from being extremely nervous, but the real one…… Does Shallow Vernal-sama ever appear at events other than the Festival of Heroes?]
[If only I hadn’t seen her here with my own eyes, I could have said she doesn’t…… R- Rather, are we even allowed to be in the same space as Shallow Vernal-sama and breathe the same air as her? Wouldn’t that be disrespectful……]They both looked at Shallow Vernal, who was standing gracefully, and considering that the Supreme Gods were behind her, the two were certain that she was the real one.
However, Greene and Anne had only seen Shallow Vernal from a distance even at the Festival of Heroes, and they were trembling with fear at the mere thought of being in the same venue.
[……Greene-san.]
[What is it?]
[……Just who is Kaito-san? Could it be that we just didn’t know it and he’s actually the ruler of this world?]
[H- He himself said he’s an otherworlder…… For all these prestigious figures to gather at a party organized by an ordinary otherworlder is very…… H- How should I say this? Are we perhaps involved in something incredibly absurd?]
[……Yeah, we’re in an absurdly frightening situation alright? I- Is it alright if we don’t kneel? W- We won’t just be beheaded the next moment, right……]
[D- Don’t say frightening things. I- It’s alright. The other people here are also being usual…… being usual…… Why are they all so unconcerned with Shallow Vernal-sama being here…… This should have been quite a big deal but…… On second thought, could that actually be an illusion both me and Anne-san are seeing?]
For most of the people here, it’s a well-known fact that Shallow Vernal is Kaito’s lover, and there’s nothing particularly surprising about her presence at the party organized by Kaito.
However, Greene and Anne, who didn’t know that, could only feel restless, moving their gazes around.
[……Anne-san, as I thought…… I’ll go to the infirmary……]
[If you can leave the venue in front of all these people, gathering all their attention, then feel free…….]
[……I’ll stop.]
[For the time being, let’s just stick to the wall. J- Just approaching them might be disrespectful. Let’s keep as much distance as possible……]
[Y- You’re right.]
Thinking that they had ended up in an unbelievable realm of monsters, they huddled against the wall, trying to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Ahh, I see…… These guys, unlike the other Stomachache Warriors, came here without knowing much about Kaito’s social circle…… How pitiful……]
