As Laguna-san is the king, it seems that he plans to participate in the holding ceremony as well, so he left after chatting a bit.
　After that, as we waited for the opening ceremony with Lilia-san, the people who had been crowded together at a little distance suddenly split wide open.

　The crowd that was split into two large pieces looked like a single giant road. And right after that, a loud voice could be heard.

'Ki, here they come!　God of creation!

　The moment I heard their voices, as if in unison, the people who had gathered together kneeled down and hung their heads in unison as if in a sign.
　Lilia-san and I, along with the others, kneeled down and bowed our heads, and while getting into a prayer position, we moved our eyes a little bit to see what was going on.

　When I saw Kronor-san's appearance in the temple before, I thought it was like a white wave.......but this is on a different level from that.
　White's invitation rank is definitely Black, hence he must have brought almost all of the divine race with him. It was already a terrific sight.

　Walking gracefully at the front was Shiro-san, the Creator God. Behind him, the three highest gods were lined up, and further behind them were the gods dressed in white vestments, following at a steady pace.
　It was exactly like the pinnacle of this world, and it was overwhelming just by looking at it. I'm sure that even I, who is used to dealing with Shiro-san to some extent, was overwhelmed, so I'm sure the tension was even greater than that for the other people.

　The fact that Lilia-san next to me is trembling slightly is proof that she is feeling a lot of pressure.

　Shiro-san continues to advance at a constant pace, and on the way, all of the gods except for the Supreme God stop. It seems that even if they are a god race, they have to abide by the entry restrictions.
　And when Shiro-san stops after advancing to a certain extent, the people who were bowing their heads also begin to stand up, and Lilia-san and I follow suit.

''........Wow, God of Creation. How divine........
To be seen anywhere but at the Festival of the Brave thank you very much.

　Almost at the same time I heard such a voice, White-san glanced at me and gave me a small wave.
　Stop it!　He reacted like he found someone he knew!　No, we actually know each other, but it's because of the attention!
　The moment Shiro-san waved her hand, the surrounding gazes turned to us all at once. No, seriously, give me a break...................Lilia-san is pale. I'm going to faint in a few minutes, okay?

　There was a rustle and a little more noise around us, and cold sweat began to run down our backs, but luck wasn't talking to us.
　Before our doubts about us could be put into words, there was a loud noise from the central tower.

　When I looked in that direction, I saw that part of the central tower was sticking out like a stage, and on top of it was Black and the others...the Six Kings.
　However, since it was impossible for Magnawell-san to get on the stage, he had only stretched his neck close to the central tower.......

''It's finally the holding ceremony.''
"...what the hell are you doing?　Shouldn't you go over there?

　When I ask Alice, who appears next to me as if it were obvious, she tells me while letting out a light sigh.

''No, very reluctantly, but........this time it's 'this one's an altered body'. The main body Alice is on the stage.
Oh, yeah.
''Yes, I'm one of the organizers of the event, so I can't participate as an alter ego... well, but don't worry!　I was able to create a new version of myself, "Perfect altered Alice-chan", after releasing 1,800 altered bodies scattered around the world, and its performance is almost equal to the main body!　I'll escort you to Kite's guard at all times!
.........tsuch a lot of places to go.......1800?　There are that many of you?

　No, I thought there were certainly a good number of people who were in the Hydra Kingdom, or kept a shop, but... 1,800!

Yes, well, most of the altered Alice-chan change their appearance. That's because the altered Alice-chan is responsible for transmitting the information gathered by her subordinates to the main body, so she is placed all over the place.
'Nah, I see... but it's still amazing, 1800 is a number...'
''Oh, no, if the main unit can operate it without attaching autonomous thinking or information control abilities, I can do '100,000'...'''
....

　Yeah, no. Don't measure up to this guy by my common sense. No matter how silly she may be in everyday life, Alice is the Sixth King and she's something more than we know. But 100,000 is an army all by itself........

''Well, the reason I made this altered body this time is also for a 'certain experiment', but come on.......it looks like it's going to start.
...Oh?

　Hearing Alice's words, I returned my gaze to the podium and Black stepped forward and opened his mouth.

''........Everyone, thank you so much for participating in the Six Kings Festival that we hosted today.

　Are they using loudspeaker magic?　Black's voice was loud and echoed throughout the entire square.

''We're about to begin the opening ceremony now, but before we do, let me say a few words of thanks on behalf of the Sixth King.

　In contrast to his usual cute image, the current Black feels like the dignity of a king. It's not just me and the Sixth King that prepared the festival.

It's not just the Sixth Dynasty that made this festival possible, we also received a lot of help. It is not only the demon world, but also the divine world, the Symphonia Kingdom of the human world, the Arklesia Empire, and the Hydra Kingdom, all of whom lent their support to us, which is why we were able to welcome this day. Thank you so much.

　I see, Shiro-san and the kings of the human world were also cooperating with the Six Kings Festival this time.......
　As I was thinking about that, Alice spoke to me in a small voice.

''........Sharovanal-sama was a sponsor from the beginning. In addition to that, I also asked the human world to help us. Well, it's called external treatment.
...Yeah?
The only problem is that we have enough men under our command, and as long as Sharovanar-sama is willing to help us with supplies, we can use them as much as we want. But if we recommend it, the human world will be the outcast. I dared to ask for your cooperation. The three worlds are equals, you know.
...I see.

　I nodded as I listened to Alice's explanation, and Black broke off his words once just in time. He then looked around slowly and then opened his mouth again.

''Well, then, before I make my opening statement, I'll let you perform for a bit.
...performance?
Well, that's something to look forward to.

　Dear Mom and Dad - White has arrived and we are finally ready for the holding ceremony. As I watch Black speak with strong words as a representative, I somehow realize that.... At last - the Sixth King Festival is about to begin.....
