Chapter 596 - One of the Two Most Dangerous People in the World is on the Move
After receiving a wonderful birthday present from Lilia-san, Luna-san was the second one to climb the stage. Perhaps, it’s the order in which I met when I came to this world, or something like that?
Anyway, Luna-san is usually a prankster, but as expected, even she wouldn’t play around in this situation, giving me her birthday present, an a.s.sortment of marshmallows.
According to Luna-san, she decided to give me something that I can consume because she’s sure that I will receive many presents. I appreciate her thoughtfulness…… but I wonder if Luna-san likes marshmallows? If that’s the case, I’ll keep that information in mind.
The third and fourth in line were my two kouhais, Aoi-chan and Hina-chan. Aoi-chan gave me a bookmark made of beautiful flowers, while Hina-chan gave me a pair of socks.
Even though they didn’t have much time, I was really happy that they had prepared presents for me.
The fifth person was Seigi-kun…… who I hadn’t expected to see here. I hadn’t really seen him earlier, but apparently, he rushed in right after he finished his speech as a Hero, but he couldn’t make it to the Karaoke Battle.
The present Seigi-kun gave me were sweets that are the specialty of a small village in Hydra Kingdom. He said that it had a strange texture but was very tasty, so I’m looking forward to eating it.
“Alright, now let’s keep up the tempo. Next would be one of the problem children…… Kuro-san.”
[Eh? Why am I a problem child?]
“Alright, let’s see what kind of baby castella she is going to give Kaito-san as a present!”
[I’m not going to give Kaito-kun a baby castella as a present, okay!? Well, I do carry baby castellas with me at all times but…….]
……So it’s finally her turn huh…… One of the people who seemed like she would bring me a ridiculous gift. Kuro’s someone who had given me a huge ship as a memorabilia of the Six Kings Festival…… She’s someone who would nonchalantly give away a luxurious cruise ship, so I wonder what kind of present she brought for me this time?
As I waited, feeling half expecting and half anxious, from out of nowhere, Kuro brought out a large…… what is that? A bed?
[Kaito-kun! Happy birthday! My present to you is this!]
[……W- What in the world is this……]
It’s a large object, about the size of a double bed. It looks like it’s made from crystals but…… I mean, isn’t this a magic crystal? This is the biggest one I’ve ever seen.
Is this magic crystal her present, or is the magic tool created with this magic crystal her present……
[This is…… Kaito-kun remembers that virtual world magic tool back at the Six Kings Festival, right? This is the scaled-down version of it!]
[……Eh?]
[There are still too many issues that need to be cleared, and since the price would be too high, it will probably take decades before it is released to the general public, but the scaled-down itself was successfully made. I heard from Shalltear that Kaito-kun liked this, so I made some adjustments and gave it to you as a present!]
That means, I can play that VRMMO that I experienced on the fifth day with this!? A- Amazing…… I’m getting pretty excited to play this.
[After having scaled-down, only four people can play at the same time, but unlike the prototype we showed at the Six Kings Festival, you can play several different games!]
[A- Amazing…… Eh? Can I really have this?]
[Of course! I’ve also prepared the stuffed costumes for the four players to connect to!]
[……Ahh, it really has to be those stuffed costumes huh……]
To be honest, this makes me incredibly happy. I’ve always liked games, and I really enjoyed the racing game I played at the Six Kings Festival. At that time, it was just Alice and me, but with this, I can play with Aoi-chan, Hina-chan, Lilia-san and the others.
I’m ashamed of myself for saying I was half anxious about her present.
[Kuro, I’m really happy. Thanks!]
[A- Ahaha, that makes me a bit embarra.s.sed. Let’s talk about where to set this up in your room later, and I’ll do the initial adjustments, okay? Then, we can play together!]
[Yeah!]
I’m really looking forward to it. I’ll just have to be careful not to get too hooked in this.
After receiving the best present from Kuro, the next person to come up to the stage was…… Chris-san. Ahh, speaking of which, I met her as the driver of the carriage I rode when I went to eat barbecue with Kuro and the others before, so that’s why she had this spot.
Chris-san present for me was a brush for large monster species. This also made me happy. I was just thinking of getting a new brush for Bell, so I’m really grateful to receive this.
The bristles are great to touch, not too hard and not too soft, and it feels like it suits Bell’s hair texture. I’ll brush him as soon as I get home.
After that, Ein-san gave me a magic box as a present. It seemed to be filled with desserts made by Ein-san.
Ein-san’s cooking skills are top-notch, and I’m looking forward to eating it. I think she said there were 100,000 desserts in this magic box in total, but I think I just misheard her. It would be great if I really misheard her……
After her, Sechs-san gave me a book with an interesting t.i.tle, Raz-san gave me a very cute hand towel, Acht-san gave me a set of T-shirts that looked just right for loungewear, and Neun-san gave me a paperweight(?) and a writing brush…… before finally, her turn has come.
Since the order they were giving me presents was by the order that I met them…… the next person is definitely her.
“Well then, the next one is…… Shallow Vernal-sama!”
Dear Mom, Dad————– I was so happy with the birthday presents that I received one after another, but finally, or rather, just when I was getting excited————- one of the two most dangerous people in the world is on the move.
Two most dangerous people in the world…… Of course, you know who the other one, don’t you?
