586-Let's stop the sermon preaching






 I climbed up the beautiful stairs and stood in front of the lavishly decorated double doors. Ummmm, this is the party hall ahead........I'm starting to get nervous.
 I mean, these doors........they're so big that I don't understand how they open. Does it open when you knock on it?

 When I was overwhelmed by the huge door that was unlikely to open, at least with my ineffective arm strength, Alice walked to the front of me with a stalwart and opened the door. It was already light.........
 And inside the opened door is.........Huh? Dark?

Come on, Mr. Kite, come on in.
Uh-huh.

 Is that a thing? A common birthday rendition... but isn't it too dark? It's more than dimly lit, it's a darkness where you can't see an inch ahead....
 When I entered the room, which was clearly not a natural phenomenon but something magical that made it dark, Alice quickly closed the door.

''Se~no!
""Happy birthday, Kaito-kun!"

 As Black's voice echoed in the darkness, the room suddenly brightened up, and blessings echoed with the sound of crackers from all over.
 The beautifully decorated hall, the sumptuous food lined up here and there, the many people gathered there... it's hard to express in words how I'm feeling right now, even though I'm aware of it, I'm surprised.

 As Alice said, the only people gathered in the hall were people who knew me and I knew them... but still, it was quite a lot.
 Considering that this many people gathered in a hurry to celebrate my birthday, how can I say.......of course I'm happy, but I feel even more ticklish and strange.

''Well then, Kaito-san.......please come to the stage.
...on the stage?
There it is.
...yeah....

 When I moved my gaze following Alice's words, I saw the upper seat of the hall......................raised a level.
 Eh? My position in there? No, no, no, no, no, it's not a-- it's a place for kings and stuff. Huh? You're going? In your va*in*?

 No, no, no, no, no. That's the wrong thing to do. The kings of the human world, the Sixth King, and even Mr. White are not on the stage, and I'm the only one on the stage, it's going to look totally weird. It's not a level of profanity or anything like that....

"No, no, I'd preferably be standing in a normal place.......
'I thought you'd say that! But it's 'rejected'!
Oh, what? Alice!

 With no resistance, Alice carried me on her back and moved me to the stage in an instant, then got off the stage herself.
 What is this situation........this situation where I'm looking down on all these people is heartbreaking.......oh, no, I'm not looking down on Megiddo-san and others even though I'm standing on the stage.
 No, no, no, no! Huh? What are we going to do after this? All eyes are on me now, what am I supposed to do?

"Everybody! Thanks for being here today! It's Kite's birthday today, you know. Let's celebrate in a big way, make some noise and have some fun!''

 As I felt cold sweat running down my back, Black, holding a magic tool like a microphone, came up to the stage and began to speak with a bright smile.
 Nah, what the hell, Kuro is going to proceed properly.......good. I'm really glad.

''Well then, let's have a 'word and a toast' from today's leading man, Kaito-kun~''
Huh?

 The worst pretense ever! A toast to one word! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 
 I can't help but feel a bit sad just standing here and now Black is giving me a microphone. Everyone is waiting for you to be quiet, and this is something you have to do.

 With trembling hands, I take the microphone from Black and look at the leaders of the world from the stage. They all have serious expressions on their faces as they look at me..... You look like you're having a good time, and you're completely holding back your laughter. She really is.........

''.........well, to be honest, I don't really know what to say, but.......thank you so much for coming together despite the urgency of the conversation.''

 Letting go what you will means you'll get what you want. Oh, but it won't work. I have no idea what's coming next. I can only say things like "I'm happy" and "thank you".
 I think I've already said all I want to say, honestly... but I don't know how to connect the story from here... but I don't know what to do... ....

''If you think about it, it's only been six months since I came to this world. A short time, you could say that.''

 However, the heavens hadn't abandoned me. Unlike earlier, I stared straight ahead without confusion and spun my words without getting stuck.

''But I feel truly happy that I was able to meet so many people and build so many bonds in that short period of time.''

 The reason why I was able to greet people calmly when I was in a temper tantrum just a few minutes ago is because Alice was at the back of the hall, spreading out a "giant campe" at the very back of the room so that no one else could see it.
 Oh, Aristu! Nice follow-up! I always believed you were the guy who did it when you did it!
 Alice gave a wink with a snap after she produced a campe of content that expanded the story to some extent as it was.

It's simple, but I'd like to greet you all by expressing my heartfelt gratitude to you all.''

 Thanks to Alice's super fine play, I managed to finish my greeting.
 

''.........Once again, thank you so much for today! Cheers!

 I held up the glass that appeared on the stage and announced, and before I knew it, everyone else held up their glasses and said 'cheers'. And so my birthday party began.

 Dear Mom and Dad - well, there's a lot to say, but Alice did a really good job this time. Excellent fine play. Yeah - let's not preach about the seesaw thing.
