Lilia, Lunamaria, and Sieglinde all froze in the face of Electrone’s sudden arrival. It was a natural reaction; few could respond quickly when a god from another world materialized before their very eyes.
"Given the mental strain involved, I perhaps should have refrained. However, under the agreement with the World Creators, it was determined that I would visit this world at a relatively early stage. Regardless of whether it happened sooner or later, our meeting was inevitable. Therefore, I wish to offer my greetings now. Would that be acceptable?"
"H-Hiee..."
Lilia nodded with a pale face at Electrone’s quiet words. Behind her, Lunamaria and Sieglinde instinctively tried to retreat. It was standard protocol for subordinates to step back when their master spoke with a high-ranking entity, but Electrone stopped them.
"Ah, please wait. This unit wishes to greet not only Lilia Albert, but Lunamaria and Sieglinde as well."
"W-With us as well?"
"Affirmative. This unit exists outside of this world's social hierarchy; therefore, I do not consider your participation in this conversation to be an act of lèse-majesté. Furthermore, judging by Lilia Albert's current mental load, I believe it would be far better for her to be accompanied by her best friends than to face me one-on-one. Thus, I wish to greet all three of you together."
Lilia looked visibly relieved at those words. It was far easier to handle a god with her friends by her side than to face the pressure alone. Since Electrone, the highest-ranking individual present, desired it, Lunamaria and Sieglinde had no reason to refuse. In truth, they were worried about Lilia anyway, and they decided to stay if their presence could put her even slightly at ease.
"Now then, once more, outputting greeting... <<Let's try that again! Nice to meet you! I'm the Cyber Angel, Electrone! You can just call me by my name, okay?>> ...End of message."
"...I am Lilia Albert. I am an Ignorant One who did not even know your name until this very day, but I am honored to have the privilege of greeting you like this."
"I am Lunamaria, and I serve as Duchess Lilia's personal maid."
"I am Sieglinde, and I serve as her guard."
Following Lilia, who bowed deeply, Lunamaria and Sieglinde offered concise introductions and bowed as well.
"I thank you for your introductions. While you are free to treat me casually, I recognize that from your perspective, I am a being of supernatural power. It is only natural for your anxieties to persist. Therefore, I shall utilize my divine authority to alleviate your concerns."
"Eh? Um, what exactly do you mean by that...?"
"As stated previously, I possess power far beyond your own, including the ability to observe the future. Rest assured, I have already observed every possible branch of the future. I have confirmed that in our upcoming conversation, there is no possibility of a scenario where I feel slighted or take offense. Therefore, you may let your guard down. In the future that lies ahead, neither slips of the tongue nor acts of lèse-majesté exist."
Electrone's words certainly lightened the tension in the room. Since an overwhelmingly high-ranking being capable of observing the future had declared that she had examined every possible outcome and found no future where they would disrespect her, the women's rock-solid anxiety finally began to soften.
"Outputting supplement... <<Also, I'm Kaito-sama's top real-love hardcore fan, but I'm a total group fan, too!>> ...Consequently, conversing with you is a joyful occasion."
"Ah, um... What is a 'group fan'?"
"My apologies. Perhaps the term is not common in your world. To express it concisely, I am a fan not only of Kaito-sama, but also of the environment surrounding him and his circle of friends. Therefore, I am a fan of the three of you as well, and I find it very pleasant to converse with you like this."
"Um, not just for Lilia, but for me and Luna as well...?"
"Affirmative. To begin with, I feel fondly toward intelligent lifeforms—or 'humans,' to use the appropriate term in your world—who look forward and live their lives earnestly, regardless of which world they call home. Outputting emotion... <<To put it simply, I love everyone who lives their lives to the fullest, no matter what world they’re in!>> ...Therefore, since I feel kindly toward you, please be at ease. I will find our conversation a joy; I could never find it unpleasant."
The smile Electrone gave them was soft, and her genuine goodwill reached Lilia and the others, finally causing their stiff expressions to relax.
Serious-senpai: "She’s a surprisingly decent god, especially considering how dense her character profile is. Considering she genuinely likes anyone who lives earnestly regardless of their world, she’s actually the perfect guest to have at a party..."
???: "Look, Machina, observe carefully. That is the spirit you should truly use as a reference. To feel fondly not just for Kaito-san, but for the people involved with him as well. Follow her example with all your might."
Machina: "...I-I mean, I’ve been working hard lately! I've even remembered quite a few of the meat slabs' names..."
