On the morning of the last day of the Rokugan Festival, I was waiting for Shiro-san at the main square. The rendezvous was at 10:00 a.m., and since I arrived early, I only had about 20 minutes left.
　But even so, why does Kuro and White want to meet up with each other?　Is it still important to have a promise?

　Since Shiro-san would probably appear in transition at exactly 10 o'clock, I decided to relax and wait while looking at the 'unpopular central square'.
　By the way, the unnatural absence of people in the central square is... well, it's definitely the work of the divine race.

　And as I was thinking about that, a group of divine clans appeared in the central square, echoing the regular, threadbare footsteps. The three in the lead were Kuronoa-san, Fate-san and Leife-san, with no sign of Shiro-san.
　.........Is this a thing?　I've seen this kind of military-grade security before.

'All of you, listen up!　The detailed arrangement is as I notified you the day before, but I'll give you a few other notes!

　We line up a little farther away from where I am, and Mr. Cronor begins to give me a warning in his sharp voice.

''First of all, as I'm sure you know, things are different from the last time. Since there are many top-tier world powerhouses, including the Six Kings, in this Six Kings Festival, there is a danger of causing harm to those around you if you eliminate them by the use of force.
''So, either go through the baronial class or take direction from our Supreme God.........................and don't act on your own.

　Following Kronor-san, Fate-san also captures a serious expression that is completely different from her usual riddled face.

''As for the demon and human races below the baronial level, please follow the instructions of each platoon leader. I'm sure you understand, but failure is not an option.

　Raif-san is still talking about things as usual. I mean, each platoon........it's almost like an army.......

''Oh, and.......I don't think there's anyone who would have a problem with the Sixth King, but make sure that you don't get involved with the Phantom King No Face. That thing is like a bundle of troubles and annoyances. No matter how you turn it, it will only lead to trouble. Basically, ignore it, and if you must get involved, end the conversation as soon as possible. A breakdown in cooperation can be fatal. Be very careful.

　Kuronoa-san conveys such a caution with a somewhat dumbfounded expression. Ah, this, I guess it's a pattern that I've gotten into trouble many times before, or something like that.........No way, it's name calling.

''.........I've been told that?
'Cacoon!　This is inevitable, even if I'm called the little Alice of Buddha. I won't even bother with a lawsuit.
You don't want to do that because you're sure to lose that case.
'........Oh, um~?　Kite, you're my girlfriend, right?　Isn't this the place to follow up on the pretty girl, or talk to her directly and revise your assessment of Alice?

　Because Kronois-san is right, relatively speaking, across the board. If Kronor-san and the others get involved with Alice, I can foresee a troublesome development for sure.
　Especially when combined with Fate-san, their outbursts are at a level that makes you hold your head up.

''........Unfortunately, improving that reputation is too difficult. It's impossible for me.
'Too soon to give up?　No, no, no, no, no. You can do it!　People can manage most things if they try hard enough!
"Well then, Alice. I need you to improve my board game.
Well... there's some things I can't do, either.
Hey, don't look away, look...

　.... after all this time, am I really that weak on a devastating level?　It's a level that even Alice, who is almost all-powerful, would say it's impossible!

Hey, Alice.
What's up?
'I'd like you to answer, quite modestly, with an ostracism... am I that weak?
...No, well, individuals are not suited for certain things, and if you do a certain number of things, your skills will naturally improve.
...and you're getting rid of the oblong?
'It's devastating. It's the first time in my long life that I've ever experienced such a thing as 'I hold back to lose on purpose and end up winning. It's rather serious, and it's so bad it makes me want to cry.
That's it!

　By the way, I play a lot of games with Alice on a regular basis, and the board games are a disaster, except for the ones that have a luck factor.
　However, that doesn't mean I've lost all my games to Alice. I've also beaten him in chess and other games... 'Alice is down 10 cards and I can play two moves in a row,' a handicap that fundamentally flips the gameplay upside down....

''........Oops, it's about time. As expected, with Sharovanal-sama's partner, even if he's hiding, he'll know, so I'll be escorting him away.
'What?　Oh, yes. Thanks for everything.
No, no, no. So long.

　Alice salutes with a theatrical movement and leaves. What can I say, he's a really dependable guy.
　As I moved my gaze around with this thought in my mind, I noticed that the gods had disappeared for some time, and it was now one minute before the meeting time.

　At that time, something strange happened in the central square. A number of thin lights appeared on the ground of the central square, and those lights formed a huge magic circle.
　And when the huge magic circle was completed to cover the central square, a huge divine light poured down from the heavens.....................and White-san appeared leisurely from the light.

''Thank you for waiting.''
Some kind of rascal appearance!
I got a little carried away.
...Oh, I see........

　I'm not sure if I should call him White, but he's terrific right from the start.

　Dear Mom and Dad - I was stunned by White, who showed a difference in rank from his appearance. I mean, what is it?　This anxiety is.........well, for now, White-san seems to be - well, excited.
