Chapter 751 - Intermission: God Realm ~ ~ Festival Project Meeting ~ ~

The upper level of the God Realm, a sacred place that only the Supreme Gods and their direct subordinates can enter. In one of the temples, the temple of God of Time and Space Chronois, the three Supreme Gods gathered.

Surrounding a circular table with serious expressions on their faces, three people were facing each other... No, the two people were facing one of them. This meeting was to discuss the festival in the God Realm that Shallow Vernal had proposed.

Although Chronois and Life are the ones who will take the lead in planning the festival according to Shallow Vernal's order, Fate is also present here. This is because, under Shallow Vernal's orders, Fate was to supervise this festival and was not to be carried out without Fate's permission.

[Well then, let's get started. God of Fate, this is the proposal that God of Life and I came up with.]

[It might sound like I'm praising my own painting, but I think we conjured a good proposal. To be honest, I don't think there's much that needs to be changed...]

[Hmmm, you two sure work fast huh... Well, that makes it easier for me.]

The proposal that Chronois and Life placed in front of Fate was more than a hundred pages thick, containing a lot of details about the project.

Looking as if she finds what she's doing troublesome, Fate flipped through the pages... and "wiping it out with magic", she smiled.

[...Now then, let's discuss "the God Realm's Festival" from "the ground up".]

[Eh? No, God of Fate... Just now, the proposal we wrote was...]

[Does that mean there's a problem somewhere in our proposal?]

A little puzzled by Fate's intimidating smile, Chronois and Life tried asking her... but the smile on Fate's face disappeared, and she slammed her fist down on the desk.

[It's not a problem of "somewhere"! Everything is a problem!!! Ahh, geez, I want to punch the me who thought that working as the supervisor would be easy peasy. I mean, God of Space and Time and God of Life, what is it that you're thinking!? Shallow Vernal-sama told us to prepare a "festival"! Who the heck told you that we're having a "ceremony"!? What idiocy is this!?]

[N- No, but... This is an event in the God Realm, which can be said to be Shallow Vernal-sama's lap. For an event to occur in such a place, it is necessary for this event to have a certain level of dignity, don't you think?]

[S- She's right. It's also necessary to demand a certain level of civility from the participants...]

The reason why Fate is so angry is because the content of the proposal she just saw was so bad... and the biggest problem was that Chronois and Life didn't think there was anything strange in it.

[No, first of all, "three hours of ceremony practice by the participants"? Why the heck are the participants practicing and not the organizers!?]

[...E- Etiquette is also important, isn't it?]

[Next, "pilgrimage to the God Realm"? Isn't it strange that the word "pilgrimage" is even mentioned here!!!?]

[...I- I was trying to be considerate to those who find it difficult to pray properly without knowing the lands of the Gods...]

When she said that much, Fate put her hand on her forehead and let out a deep, loud sigh.

[...For it to be this bad... Speaking of which, you two went to the Festival of Heroes and Six Kings Festival, right? Looking at those two festivals, did you two seriously think that the festival you proposed is alright?]

[Isn't it a great honor to be invited to the middle level of the God Realm to offer prayers to Shallow Vernal-sama?]

[Yes, even though this is called a festival, it should be solemn since it is held under the guidance of the sacred Shallow Vernal-sama.]

Hearing the words they said without any hesitation, Fate looked up to the sky. Thereupon, the hand on her forehead lowered down, covering her eyes, before she quietly told them.

[...Hold on a second. I'm thinking of a better way to explain the mistake of you two idiots... Unnn, let's use Kai-chan for this situation.]

Fate desperately searched for the words to correct Chronois' and Life's thoughts, which could even be described as bigotry. Deciding to use the first person that came to her mind as an example, she turned to the two of them and spoke.

[...Okay then, listen. Kai-chan would definitely be invited to this festival, right? You both know how important Kai-chan is for Shallow Vernal-sama, right?]

[Umu.]

[Of course.]

[...So. If the festival really were to be organized as you planned... Do you think that "Kai-chan will enjoy it"?]

[ [ ...…. ] ]

When they heard Fate's words, Chronois and Life stiffened, as if they were at a loss for words. Both of them have exchanged a fair amount of words with Kaito and they already know his personality.

In that case, considering Kaito's personality and preferences...

[ [ ...He wouldn't. ] ]

[Right? Then, that won't do! Both of you talk about having civility and solemnity, but if the festival you planned isn't something Kai-chan wouldn't enjoy, don't you think it would be even more disrespectful to Shallow Vernal-sama?]

Hearing her say that, Chronois and Life couldn't say anything. The festival that the two of them prepared... which would rather be described as a ceremony instead, was a really stiff one, as every minute had its own schedule prepared.

Even the two of them could immediately understand that Kaito wouldn't like it if the festival was prepared their way.

[Kai-chan is amazing, but his tastes and senses are rather average. If Kai-chan can enjoy a festival, there's a good chance that the other Humans and Demons can too, and vice versa. So, why don't the two of you try to think of a festival that "Kai-chan would enjoy" first? We can just work out the particulars afterwards.]

[...I- I see... That was a blind spot we didn't see. Thank you, God of Fate.]

[Yes, I could not have been more disrespectful to Shallow Vernal-sama without even realizing it.]

[...I just mentioned Kai-chan's name and they understood it this easily... Kai-chan really is amazing.]

It seemed that the flow of the conversation was heading for the right path, as Chronois and Life began to think with serious expressions on their faces. Nodding her head in satisfaction at that, Fate drank the tea prepared for her... and as if they had collected their thoughts, the two spoke.

[...I'd need to receive some advice for the content, if it's possible, from a Human. I'll have to consult with Lilia.]

[In regards to those who should be invited or not... There would be some differences because this festival will be hosted by us. I'll have to talk to the Six Kings. They organized the Six Kings Festival, so they should be able to give me some good feedback.]

[...Unnn, that's not a bad idea. Well then, revise the proposal in that direction and let's talk about it again... Do your best, okay~~]

With a sigh of relief that she had passed the first barrier, Fate lightly waved her hand and left that place.

Thereupon, going outside of the temple, she gazed at the blue sky over the God Realm... and muttered.

[...For me to find fault in their God-like thinking, was it because I've grown up? Well, I guess this will be a good opportunity for their way of thinking to change. However, hmmm... From the looks of things, they would still hit two or three more walls... Well, for the time being, let's go visit Kai-chan's place.]

The festival that the God Realm will be planning for the first time in history was slowly, but steadily moving forward.
