This was the last day of the party, which was only open to those with invitations of Gold rank or higher. It was taking place on the roof of the central tower.
　The rooftop was larger than when they came on the first day, probably due to the use of spatial magic, and even though there were a good number of participants, there was still a lot of space to spare.
　In addition to that, the wind doesn't blow in due to the warding, so it's quite comfortable.

　It's like a standing buffet party, and after the Sixth King gave a speech at the beginning, we moved on to a free chatting session. Black and the other six kings, Shiro-san, and the kings of the human world are seated at a higher level, where they can talk to the participants.
　...Well, as for Shiloh-san, it seems that Kuronoa-san is doing everything for him, but....

　Everyone seems to be quite busy, including Magnawell-san, who can't get into the venue and only moves her face near the tower to participate. Lilia-san, who came with me to the venue, is currently conversing with people who look like nobles.
　Incidentally, as for me, it seems that Alice has taken care of me, and since not too many people have gathered around, I'm just taking it easy and enjoying my meal.

''.........Black and the others, it looks like you're really busy.
The participants are all people with a certain reputation, so they are all moderate.......but even so, the organizers are busy.
What the f*ck are you doing?

　Alice answers the muffled words while eating a large amount of food. No, aren't you on the organizer's side too?　Why do you take your food for granted?
　Oh, right, like during the holding ceremony, leave the altered body as an escort and the main body on the stage.......

''Don't worry!　This is the main body--what the hell?
What are you really doing...
''No, because, Alice, I'm not interested in that kind of thing....................and I've left it to 'Pandora' to handle the greetings.
........So that means that the one on stage right now dressed as the Phantom King is Pandora-san?
Yes, sometimes I let him fill in for me.

　It's easy to forget because of her usual behavior and words, but Pandora-san is the first of Alice's subordinates. When necessary, she sometimes dresses up as the Phantom King and acts as the Phantom King.
　If you ask me if now is the time when it's necessary, I can only nod my head, but....

　Well, as for Alice, in a sense, as usual, I should say hello to my acquaintances. I'll go to Black and his friends' place after things have settled down a bit more, and I'll look for someone else to get to know.
　If possible, let's say hello to someone who can chat with you peacefully.

'.........Oh, it's Miyama Kaito-kun. I didn't mean to insult the God of Fate. It's just that as a non-talented person, I'm unable to estimate the supernatural power of fate. Oops, sorry, I digress. I'm happy to see you again, even if by chance.
Well good evening, Mr. False.
Oh, pardon me. I'm sorry, I haven't told you the most important thing. Don't think I was rude, but I was distracted. No, I'm sorry. So again, good evening.

　
　Even at this luxurious party, he was still wearing the same dark green robes as ever, what a quintessential sight.

By the way, I don't think this kind of extravagant party is really suitable for me. You see, I am basically a shady person, right?　However, since all my titles have become so large, there is a lot of trouble at these parties. It's a good idea to have a letter of invitation to the Sixth King as a former connection with the Sixth King..............through Laguna, but if possible, I would have preferred to decline the party.
Huh, huh...
'Then you look like you're asking why you're here. I'm sure you have some idea of what to expect, but as usual I was dragged to Laguna. And yet, he sits at the king's table, and I am thrown out of my seat, which I do not like. I was really confused. For a person like me, who is shy and silent, such a place can be very painful.
...What?
Yeah?

　
　Mr. Fors thinks he's quiet........A terrible mistake.

''Oops, I'd be wasting your time if I talked too long. Let me tell you what I originally intended to do when I called on you.
Is this the right thing to do?
'Oh, you see, you helped me when I was lost, didn't you?　I want to thank you for that. Of course, I understand that you have an honorable spirit that doesn't ask for anything in return, but that doesn't make me feel any better. You didn't seem to care much for eyeball and bug food, and I was wondering what to do about it, but then I remembered I had just the thing. Do you like this food called buckwheat?
Soba noodles?　Yeah, yeah, I like it.
'That's good to hear. Actually, Hikari I have some that I'm growing at Noin's request. It's a bit of bragging, but I think it's quite good. So I thought I'd like to treat you to some of them. If you can, you can come to Rigforesia later. Of course, it's only natural that I should be the one to thank you, but as you know, I have a severe lack of sense of direction. To be honest, I'm not sure I can reach the royal capital.

　Fors-san's proposal was to serve me soba noodles as a thank you for showing me the way. I haven't had soba noodles for a while...and I want to eat them.
　And when I told him that I would accept Fors-san's proposal, he gave me a soft smile.

　Dear Mother and Father - how sorry I feel that I've made Fors-san feel a lot of trouble, but to be honest, I'm quite looking forward to it. The only concern I have is that I'm afraid I'll be overwhelmed - by her ample talking skills.
