I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)-Chapter 2201: Miyama Kaito’s Birthday Celebration Party ⑥

The fourth person chosen was Lilia-san, and, not just me, but many others as well, seemed to be looking at her with expressions of sympathy.

"Lilia-san, as expected, is the one to land the unfortunate position that everyone would want to avoid after the three Gods' back-to-back turns."

"With her also getting asked for opinions by Shallow Vernal-sama and Earth God-sama during the preparation phase, Lili-tan sure had it rough~~"

"She is highly regarded by many, you know? Among Humans, she’s probably rated the greatest after Kaito-san in this group. It’s an impressive feat, but still…… well……"

"Lili-tan, you poor thing……"

"If you think so, why not help her with your invincible Authority of Fate?"

"……Well, this isn’t Trinia, so this place is out of my range to begin with, and even if I did use it, it wouldn’t work on Shallow Vernal-sama or Earth God-sama…… Besides, even if I did somehow block that part, Lili-tan would probably still end up dealing with something troublesome here in a different world."

As a widely shared understanding, Lilia-san was the kind of person who drew the short straw in situations like these…… As the fourth to go, following Shiro-san, Makina-san, and a different world's World Creator, she stepped onto the stage with her eyes looking like the light had gone out of them.

[……Why this order…… No, I know Kaito-san didn’t arrange it that way on purpose, but my stomach hurts…… And now I’m hearing things I really didn’t want to hear, like a fan club for Otherworld Gods, and my stomach hurts even more.]

[H- How should I say this…… I’m really sorry, as always.]

Of course, it wasn’t like I had planned it this way, but I genuinely felt bad about this kind of thing. The idea of a fan club for Otherworld Gods…… It wouldn’t be surprising if they actually visited this world someday and wanted to greet Lilia-san as well…… She had likely imagined the same thing, which was probably why her stomach was hurting……

When Lilia-san reached me, she took a deep breath and changed her expression to a more gentle one.

[……Well, there’s no point in complaining at a celebratory event. And in this particular case, I imagine Kaito-san’s stomach is just as pained as mine……]

[Yeah, honestly…… I regret not considering the possibility that this party might turn out even more overwhelming than the last one.]

[We both have it rough…… Anyway, once again, happy birthday, Kaito-san.]

[Thank you.]

Since I was also suffering from stomachache at this birthday party, Lilia-san and I exchanged wry smiles. Then, she handed me a neatly wrapped gift along with her words of congratulations.

[I wasn’t sure what would be best, but I figured a practical item would be more appreciated than something expensive. So, I chose a pen that I personally find easy to use. You often write diaries and letters, so I thought it might come in handy.]

[Thank you, I really appreciate it. Even though I don’t write daily like before, I still log into my diary from time to time, and I use a pen often, so I’ll make good use of it.]

The small items that Lilia-san usually uses tend to have excellent taste. It’s not that she prefers luxury, but rather, she selects practical and stylish designs befitting a Duke.

I had visited her office several times while she was working, and every time, I thought the items on her desk all had great aesthetics. That’s why I was really happy with this gift as well.

"As expected of Lilia-san, she chose a gift that Kaito-san could purely appreciate without feeling intimidated."

"Even when she gets dragged into all sorts of trouble, Lili-tan does always manages to handle things well~~ Well, because of that, she keeps getting caught up in even more troubles……"

"Right. Well, anyway, it seems like everyone is unsure about when to transition to casual chatting, so maybe it’s time for some entertainment. Kaito-san, while watching the event, you can spin the garapon lottery machine whenever you feel like it. Whoever comes up will be fetched by Ein-san to hand over their gift……"

Indeed, at the moment, everyone was focused on the presents. Even though they had been told they could chat freely, they were hesitating on when to start.

Adding some entertainment here to shift attention not just to the gifts but also to another activity seemed like a good idea. That said, I wonder what kind of entertainment it was going to be?

"Now then! Last time, we had a karaoke tournament for Kaito-san’s birthday party, but this time…… we present <Let's Experience Otherworld Games! Video Game Tournament!!!>"

……Wait, that sounds really fun. If anything, I want to participate in that too……

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [A game tournament…… Ah, but wait. Since reaction time differences naturally create a handicap based on skill, can everyone really compete on an equal footing……?]
