Within a certain void, the Bipolar God ∇∮◆￡ and the God of Flux, Canalis, stood together. Canalis was currently addressing ∇∮◆￡ in a cheerful, high-spirited tone that stood in stark contrast to her perfectly expressionless face.
"I’m telling you, Kaito-sama has a death grip on my heart and just won't let go! The way he says those things so casually is seriously cool. And still... tahaa... to think he actually gave me a positive answer for a date. Maybe Kaito-sama actually likes me quite a bit... No, no, I know I shouldn't be too conceited, but I really feel like he’s come to trust me!"
"I-I see. I suppose he must rely on you, then? In that sense, I'm sure he likes you... Yes, that's all well and good, but... um, didn't you come here to tell me the schedule?"
"I did. And during that conversation, I brought up the ranch I’m building. It’s perfect, isn't it? Sitting side-by-side with Kaito-sama on a peaceful ranch while we eat soft-serve ice cream—that is the absolute peak of emo. Tahaa... just thinking about it makes me want to grin. Of course, my facial muscles are as silent as ever, but my heart is super happy."
"...G-Good for you. Wait, that’s strange. Am I not getting through to her? You came here to tell me the date for my trip to Trinia, right? Not just to brag to me?"
"Yes, exactly. But you see, Kaito-sama is not only cool, he has a wonderful, humorous side as well..."
∇∮◆￡ listened to Canalis’s cheerful chatter with a bitter smile. However, since the conversation showed no sign of moving toward the actual point, she tried to nudge her along by indirectly telling her to get on with it. Canalis acknowledged her, yet she remained in top form, continuing to talk about Kaito—or rather, continuing her relentless bragging.
"...Ca-Canalis? You aren't trying to make me angry, are you? I understand that you’re having a wonderful time with Kaito-sama, so can we get to the main point now?"
"Oh, right. So, about the rest of my story regarding Kaito-sama..."
"Can I punch you now? Is it okay if I punch you now?! Canalis, give me the schedule before I clench my fist."
"Hmm? Oh, the date for when you'll be going to Trinia? It’s two days from now in Trinia time, so I’ll be counting on you."
"Yes, I understand. Now, it’s my first time meeting Kaito-sama, so please tell me if there’s anything I should be careful of, or if there's anything I should bring as a gift..."
"Speaking of Kaito-sama, the last time he visited the space I created..."
"..."
Seeing Canalis immediately pivot back to her bragging the moment she’d delivered the necessary information caused a vein to throb in ∇∮◆￡’s forehead. However, ∇∮◆￡ was fundamentally a mild-mannered person. Reminding herself that she understood Canalis’s excitement, she pushed down her anger and managed to keep a smile on her face.
"...Right. I know you want to talk a lot about Kaito-sama and Nebula-san. When something happy happens, it’s natural to want to tell your friends about it. I understand that feeling, and I'll listen to your stories... but first, let’s finish the business regarding my visit to Trinia, okay?"
"Hmm? If it's you, I don't think there will be any problems. Your personality should be highly compatible with Kaito-sama’s, so I think he’ll like you as long as you act normally."
"Well, that’s a relief. I know he’s a kind person, but he is Nebula-san’s great benefactor, so I can't help but be nervous now that I'm finally going to meet him. If possible, I’d love some advice on topics to talk about with him."
"Leave it to me! Speaking of Kaito-sama, just recently we were brainstorming a new product for Nifty together. Let me tell you, the serious look on his profile was such a massive heart-throb point!"
"...Hey, you're just going right back into bragging, aren't you? Not that—give me advice for my conversation..."
"Tahaa... I was completely entranced, but his dignity was so great it couldn't be helped. When I served him tea afterward, Kaito-sama gave me a radiant Geki-mabu Smile and thanked me..."
"..."
"...And then, believe it or not, Nebula-san joined us! It turned into a tea party for the three of us, which created a happy space perfectly for my benefit. Kaito-sama was right in front of me and Nebula-san was sitting on my lap. It was an airtight formation! I was so full of happiness in my sight, hearing, and touch that I had a hard time calming my racing heart. And in that moment, Nebula-san..."
"............"
"...So, saying the three of us were practically flirting might be a slight exaggeration, but that’s exactly what it felt like to me. Tahaa... both of them gave such incredible fan service, I felt like I was going to completely melt away..."
"............Hmph!"
"—!?"
With her cheek twitching, ∇∮◆￡ delivered a Multiple Dimension Quantum Universe-piercing Punch directly into Canalis’s face, cutting short her long-winded tale.
Serious-senpai: "It’s easy to imagine they’ve had this exact exchange many times before..."
