After discussing the schedule with Canalis-san, we settled on a plan for me to meet the Bipolar God in three days. Essentially, she was just coming to see me, but I knew I really should mention this to Lilia-san beforehand.
Just as Electrone-san had, this guest might want to greet Lilia-san personally. Even if she didn't, the arrival of a World Creator from another world was a massive deal. If I didn't report it in advance, I was terrified of what the fallout might be.
However, Lilia-san seemed to be out at the moment, so I figured I’d tell her during dinner. While I was mulling that over, Kuro suddenly appeared in my room.
"Kaito-kun! I'm here~"
"Welcome... It’s rare for you to visit at this hour."
"Yeah. I came to talk to Kaito-kun... or rather, I came to invite you to something."
"An invitation? My schedule is clear for today, so that's fine, but..."
Kuro usually visited at night to hang out, so this was an unusual time for her. It seemed she hadn't come just to spend time together, but had something specific in mind.
"Ah, no, it's not for today. Um, where should I start... Remember when we made sukiyaki and went to that amusement park together?"
"Yeah, the one Alice got from Shiro-san."
"Right, right. I think Shaltier mentioned it briefly back then, but she’s finished improving it for its public opening in the Demon Realm. It was just completed the other day. We decided to hold an opening event—inviting guests to come and actually play—and I want to invite you, Lilia-chan, and everyone else."
"Ah, I see. That sounds fun. By the way, when is it scheduled for?"
"It’s not really a formal ceremony this time. While we’ll officially invite the kings of various nations, participation isn't mandatory. We’re opening it up for a full day as a free-participation event where people can come whenever they like, so I wanted to see if you could make it. We’re looking at about ten days from now. Is your schedule okay, Kaito?"
"Yeah, that’s fine. My only immediate plan is the meeting with the Bipolar God in three days. I’m not sure about Lilia-san's schedule, though."
If I could go to an amusement park with Lilia-san, Aoi-chan, and Hina-chan, it would be a blast. My own schedule was wide open. However, unlike me, Lilia-san had various duties as a high-ranking noble, so I couldn't be sure if she was free.
"I'll give Lilia-chan an invitation and explain everything to her tomorrow," Kuro said.
"Understood. In that case... hm?"
"...Hm? Shiro? Why did you appear all of a sudden?"
Just as Kuro and I were finishing our conversation, a light suddenly filled the room and Shiro-san manifested.
"No, I had business with Kaito-san. Since Kuro happened to be here, and my errand is similar to hers, I thought I would take care of the engagement at the same time."
"U-Um? Does that mean you're also inviting Kaito-kun somewhere, Shiro?"
"Yes. To be precise, it was a promise I made quite a while ago. Although part of it was fulfilled in the Hydra Kingdom, that was separate from the actual promise."
"...A promise... Hydra Kingdom... Ah, are you talking about the hot spring trip?"
Shiro-san's words immediately brought the hot spring trip to mind. We had definitely discussed it, and I had promised to go with her.
"Yes. And now, after careful preparation, the hot spring district has finally been completed. I have come to invite Kaito-san. Of course, if that were my only business, I could have just summoned Kaito-san to the God Realm to tell him, but this conversation concerns Kuro as well..."
"Hm? Me too?"
"Indeed. I have built a magnificent hot spring district, and I intend to have a lovey-dovey hot spring date with Kaito-san there... You're jealous, aren't you? Surely you must be."
With the word "Smug" manifesting in the air behind her, Shiro-san spoke with absolute confidence.
"E-Err, yeah. I am. Super jealous~" Kuro replied, clearly reading the room. It was undoubtedly the answer Shiro-san was looking for; it felt as though we’d be trapped in an infinite loop unless she gave that specific response.
"I thought so. It is only natural for Kuro to be envious. A truly wonderful hot spring district has been created... However, I did not come here just to boast. This time, I intend to permit Kaito-san's lovers to use the hot spring district via the Super WIN System. Of course, I get to be the very first one..."
"A-Ah, I see! So that means I can go on a hot spring date with Kaito-kun too, along with the other lovers. Heh, that sounds great! Isis and the others love hot springs, so they’ll be thrilled!"
I see... a hot spring trip with my lovers. Not just Shiro-san, but everyone else as well. That definitely sounded like something to look forward to.
Serious-senpai: "...Wait a second. Isn't this a situation where not just Lilia's stomach, but I'm going to get pummeled with concentrated sugar as well?"
