Chapter 14 – The Party Begins
After safely bidding farewell to Her Majesty the Queen and Princess Adalicia, we returned to the Aquamarine Kingdom. There, I had Camille-san work in Beastman City and Marina-san, and the others protected her. After we parted, I decided to do something to satisfy Creator God-sama. I collected liquor and treats from each ship, redecorated the lounge, built a champagne tower, and did my best in various ways, and as a result, Creator God-sama is in a good mood for now.
“Wataru-kun, bring me some ice cream. Chocolate and mint, please.”
Creator God-sama is sitting in the gilded king’s seat of a luxurious club, and he is demanding ice cream in a bossy way. It’s not a problem because he really is a great god, but I don’t understand why he suddenly wants ice cream in this environment.
Did he just want to eat some?
“Yes, please wait a moment.”
I summoned a rubber boat filled with ice cream and quickly served him mint and chocolate ice cream.
“Thank you for waiting.”
“Yes, good work.”
I don’t mind serving the ice cream, but since there are Saporabi around, I’d like you to ask them to serve it.
“Hmm? Wataru-kun, the Saporabi at the door is waving at you.”
“Oh, I’m sorry, it seems we have a guest. This room is only for the Creator God-sama, so even gods cannot enter without permission. Would you like to give them permission to enter?”
“Oh, that’s a good idea. However, I’m a generous person, and it’s a little annoying to be asked for permission every time, so I’ll give them permission to enter for free. But tell them to be grateful to me.”
“Yes, I will pass on the message.”
When I got to the entrance of the lounge, the God of Light-sama was standing in front of Saporabi.
“I’m sorry to keep you waiting.”
“No, that’s okay. I’m sorry for leaving Creator God-sama to you.”
“No, but it would be helpful if you could thank him for letting you in when you talk to him.”
“Fufu, you are very clever, Wataru-san. Lifting the Creator God-sama and reducing the damage is the best way. It would be peaceful if the other gods used this kind of approach as well, but they all go head to head with each other, don’t they?”
The God of Light-sama, with her hand on her cheek and a troubled expression on her face, is also beautiful. And it would be difficult for the gods to imitate a sycophant.
“The gods are in a different position than me, after all. Please come in.”
I brush away the hard-to-reach places and welcome the God of Light-sama in. I’d like to take another bath with her. If I have time, I’d like to invite her to the hot spring again. If I have time, that is.
“Thank you.
The God of Light-sama thanks me and Saporabi and goes in. The fact that she also thanks Saporabi makes a good impression.
“Thank you for allowing me to enter, Creator God-sama.”
“Yes, you can be thankful for that. Now, what do you want?”
Creator God-sama, who is full of himself, demands gratitude from God of Light-sama, who has just thanked him properly. I wish he would put down the ice cream and talk to her.
“No, I came to see how you were doing, to see if you were giving Wataru-san any trouble.”
God of Light-sama, you yourself said earlier that it is best to lift up Creator God-sama, right? Why can’t you do that?
No, I’m really glad that you’re worried about me.
“There’s no way that I would cause trouble for Wataru-kun. Look at the room he’s prepared for me. It’s so bright, isn’t it?”
Creator God-sama is in a really good mood and brushes off the words of the God of Light-sama to boast about the room.
“Yes, it seems a bit garish, but it’s a wonderful room full of Wataru-san’s sincerity.”
“Yes, and he’s arranged an interesting event as well. Look at that glass.”
Creator God-sama pointed to the champagne tower.
I had just told him about the event in detail, and Creator God-sama was very happy to accept it.
“Ara, it’s beautiful. What kind of event is this?”
“Fufu, I’ll keep it a secret until it’s time. It’s tonight, so gather everyone.”
“Understood.”
Creator God-sama made a face that was really irritating to look at, but God of Light-sama just brushed it off. Even I, who had decided to play the drums at Creator God-sama’s side, was irritated…
“Well, I’m going to take my leave now. Oh, Wataru-san, by the way, the goddesses said they wanted to ask you to appoint some staff members.”
“Oh, that’s right. I’m sorry, Creator God-sama. Is it okay if I excuse myself for a little while?”
I was a little too engrossed in playing the drums. It was an unfortunate mistake to keep the goddess waiting.
“Hmm? Well, I’m a forgiving person, so I’ll let it slide. But come back soon. Oh, and before you go, get me another serving of ice cream. Strawberry and vanilla this time, okay?”
“Okay.”
Gods don’t get sick from eating too much ice cream, right?
***
“Okay, here I come~!”
The super-happy Creator God-sama stands on a chair holding a magnum bottle of champagne.
In response, the lounge fills with perfunctory applause.
That’s right, it’s time for the Champagne Tower event.
The God of Light-sama has worked hard to gather the gods, but probably less than a third of the participants have shown up.
I guess this is the popularity of Creator God-sama, or maybe the popularity of the gods. However, the lounge reserved for Creator God-sama is not that big, so it looks like a lot of gods have gathered.
To be honest, the gods gathered here are the moderate faction, and the gods who are seriously hostile to Creator God-sama have not hesitated to reject Creator God-sama’s events as disgusting.
But that makes me feel more comfortable.
Because they are the moderate faction, they have the compassion to applaud without being asked.
However, the fact that most of the gods I know aren’t here makes me feel a little uncomfortable. However, the God of Gastronomy-sama and the Goddess of the Forest-sama are here.
“””Ooooooh~”””
When Creator God-sama pours champagne, it overflows from the top glass and trickles down into the glass below.
The scene is quite beautiful, lit up as it is, and the gods in the audience let out a few gasps.
Creator God-sama smiles at the sound of their voices.
“Oh, Wataru-kun, it’s all gone.”
“Oh, I’m sorry; I’ll get you some more right away.”
That’s right, the Champagne Tower. In my imagination, it was supposed to be a single bottle poured all the way to the top, but when I watched the video, they opened several bottles of champagne.
I’ve seen videos of champagne towers at host clubs and the like, but I wonder how many bottles of champagne they used and how much it cost? Just thinking about it makes me feel cold inside.
Well, I could afford it now. I’ve got money… money… money.
“Then I, the Creator God, will personally give you gods a glass. Each of you should accept it with gratitude.”
Creator God-sama, who has just emptied the glass at the top of the champagne tower, announces to the gods in a pompous manner.
The moderate gods respond with applause. They are truly a help.
The gods politely line up in front of Creator God-sama, receive their glasses from him, and drink them all.
Creator God-sama and the gods are both very powerful, so it looks like a solemn ceremony. In reality, it’s just a self-satisfying event for Creator God-sama.
“Hmm, it feels good, but I think we should call it a day. Wataru-kun, show me to my room.”
Creator God-sama, who had been making as much noise as he could, suddenly announced the end of the party.
I was ready to stay up all night, but as they say in the business, it ended before the peak.
Maybe he’s tired from his ‘black’ work. I wouldn’t mind if he slept until after lunch tomorrow.
“Understood. I’ll show you the best room.”
“Mm.”
I show Creator God-sama, who nods in agreement, to the most luxurious room in the castle.
“Good night, Creator God-sama.”
“Good night. It was fun.”
Creator God-sama casually enters the room. I bow deeply and wait for the door to close.
I hear the door close and move to a distant place, breathing out deeply. I made it through the first day without incident. If I keep going at this pace, I think it will be okay.
I walk with my back straight, loosening my stiff body. I’ll rest after watching the gods who are still having fun.
If possible, I want to meet someone like the God of Light-sama, the God of Gastronomy-sama, or the Goddess of the Forest-sama before I go to sleep because I think I’ll be able to have a good dream.
Hmm, it’s hard to read the actions of the God of Light-sama. The Goddess of the Forest-sama is often found in quiet places with plants, but she also moves around with an interest in ornamental plants, so it’s hard to read her as well.
Okay, let’s go see the God of Gastronomy-sama.
Today, the God of Gastronomy-sama has been appointed to the staff of a teppanyaki restaurant, so it’s easy to find her. Well, it’s not that she’s interested in teppanyaki, but she’s curious about monjayaki, which has been temporarily added to the teppanyaki restaurant.
“God of Gastronomy-sama, how do you like monjayaki?”
When I arrived at the restaurant, God of Gastronomy-sama was happily cooking.
“Ah, Wataru, you must be tired. Monjayaki is quite interesting, but the fun of making it is also part of the cooking experience.”
It’s true that making monjayaki is fun.
“So, was it not to your liking, God of Gastronomy-sama?”
“That is not true. Thinking about the people who will make it and enjoy eating it, as well as the flour mixture and the ingredients, is also really fun. Carla said in her prayer that monjayaki is fun and delicious, and she’s right.”
So Carla-san’s food report, which she calls a prayer, was still going on? Well, it’s good that both Carla-san and the God of Gastronomy-sama seem to be enjoying themselves.
“I’m glad to hear that. Oh, I bought some cooking utensils, so please take a look next time you have time.”
Normally, I would bring the cooking utensils now, but I also have to play the taiko drums tomorrow, so I’ll have to take a break with a heavy heart.
“Oh, that sounds fun. What did you buy?”
“You’ll have to wait and see.”
It’s hard to convey the appeal of the orichalcum knife with words alone.
If I had the actual thing in front of me, I’d be able to get my point across, even if it was in a somewhat ridiculous way, but just words would make me look ridiculous.
I guess I’ll have to postpone the monkfish offering for now. Fortunately, I’ve stored it in a rubber boat, so it will stay fresh.
“Ufufu, if that’s the case, I’ll look forward to it.”
“Yes, please do.”
At least, I think I can move people’s emotions.
I say goodbye to the God of Gastronomy-sama and return to my room. I think I’ll have a good dream tonight.
