I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)-Chapter 2090: Intermission: Gathering of Gods ⑤

Lilia, brought by Alice to the special space, nearly fainted on the spot. Shallow Vernal, Makina, and Canalis, World Creators, along with Kuromueina, Alice, and Fate, some of the most prominent figures in Trinia…… Just imagining herself among them caused an intense wave of nausea that manifested as a sharp pain in her stomach.

Of course, Lilia wasn’t the only one feeling this way. The same applied to the other three who had been brought along: Ryze, Chris, and Laguna, whose expressions clearly conveyed their thoughts of "How did this happen?"

[Everyone’s here. Let’s resume our meeting.]

[Wait, Shiro. We can’t just restart the meeting where we stopped it, Lilia and the others won’t be able to keep up. Well, I think they’ve been told this is about discussing Kaito-kun’s birthday, but the reason they were called isn’t just for us to relay information to the Human Realm's representatives. Since this party is very much rooted in Human culture, we’re counting on their knowledge about that too.]

[……Now that you mention it, Demons don’t really do those kinds of things, do they?]

As Shallow Vernal moved to restart the discussion, Kuromueina interjected and briefly explained why the four had been summoned.

[Unn. A lot of Demons are long-lived, so we don’t really celebrate yearly events or anything like that. Many of us don’t even remember our own birthdays or ages. But Humans throw parties for royal birthdays and other similar occasions quite often.]

[I- I see. I don’t know how much we can contribute, but we’ll do our utmost.]

[Thanks. Oh, and during this meeting, everyone here is bound by a contract to speak as equals. Normally, you probably wouldn’t dare address Shiro carelessly, but in this case, you’re free to voice objections to her opinions. You won’t face any repercussions later, so don’t worry about that.]

[ [ [ [ …………………….. ] ] ] ]

At Kuromueina’s words, Lilia and the other three showed complex expressions. Of course, they understood the logic behind it. They understood but…… if asked whether they had the courage to actually voice their opinions to Shallow Vernal, nodding affirmatively would be difficult.

Even so, it wasn’t as if they could refuse such overwhelming consideration from these Gods, so their thoughts were consumed with wondering what on earth they should do.

At that moment, Canalis glanced at Lilia and the others before speaking.

[Kuromueina-san, while the reasoning makes sense, isn’t it difficult to actually put it into practice? For someone like me, I could easily give my opinions to Shallow Vernal and the others without hesitation, but for Lilia-san and her group, it’s a significant amount of pressure. So, I have a suggestion…… how about we split into teams?]

[Split into teams?]

[Yes. Of course, the Humans are experienced with parties and will probably come up with a solid plan. However, while that ensures stability, it might lack innovation. Tahaa~~ Something along the lines of highly multi-faceted opinions and whatnot———– in other words, I think that sometimes fresh and novel ideas can come precisely from those who aren’t too familiar with the subject.]

Drawing everyone’s attention, Canalis spoke in a bright voice, her expression as emotionless as ever. Having received guidance from Nebula, she had become attuned to the psychological pressure Lilia and the others were experiencing and had been considering ways to alleviate it.

[So, why don’t we split into two teams to draft plans? One team would consist of the four humans, who are familiar with parties, along with Alice-san, who is knowledgeable and skilled at organizing ideas. The other team would include myself, Shallow Vernal, Makina-san, Kuromueina-san, and Fate-san. Each team would come up with a rough plan, and then we could compare and adjust them as needed.]

[Ahh~~ I see! A discussion-style approach. Since I would be representing this team and voicing our ideas, it means I’d be the one presenting directly to Shallow Vernal-sama, making it easier for Lilia-san and the others to share their thoughts freely.]

[Exactly. Tahaa~~ sorry for a newcomer suddenly taking charge like this!"]

Canalis's proposal was truly a lifeline for Lilia and the others. With Alice taking charge of summarizing and presenting the final opinions, it made things significantly easier for Lilia and the others. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

The idea of consulting while comparing the two plans was also a format conducive to discussion, and it seemed that none of the members not part of the Human Realm had any objections either.

[Alright, since there don’t seem to be any disagreements, let’s go with Canalis-san’s suggestion. Well then, Lilia-san and the others, please gather over here, while the rest of you join Shallow Vernal-sama…… Let’s allocate about 30 minutes since we’re only drafting a rough outline. Even if it’s incomplete, we’ll share what we have at that point and discuss further……]

With the approach decided, the teams split as Canalis suggested, and the discussions for Kaito’s birthday plans began.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [As expected a proper God under the guidance of the Absolute……]

? ? ? : [Well, that should be it for this round of discussions. The details of the plan will be something to look forward to on the actual day of Kaito-san's birthday. For now, the story would switch over to Olivia-san and Kaori-san's date.] Ŗ
