I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Before the party starts, Caraway gives a brief explanation and introduction. That is because the food served at this party is from my homeworld, otherworld cuisine…… or rather, Japanese cuisine is the main focus, and to be honest, there are many dishes that aren't really suitable for standing buffet-style.

Therefore, we've also prepared tables where one can sit and eat, so there's no problem having conversations while dining there.

As for the rest, it was written in the invitation beforehand, but basically, the guests were reminded again that I was the one who would cto greet them, so they were told not to gather around me, and after informing them of the scheduled times for entertainment, it was finally tforto give my greeting.

"Despite the sudden impulse, thank you for attending the party I organized today."

And so, Caraway urgedto go up on stage and use the Loudspeaker Magic Tool to give my greetings. Since most of the guests are acquaintances, I'm somewhat relieved, but still, giving a speech in front of this many people is quite nerve-wracking.

Well, I thought up the content of my greeting and Anima and Illness-san corrected it, so as long as I don't stutter or something, I think I'll be fine.

"……And so, I hope everyone can enjoy today as much as tallows. A brief introduction it may be, but this concludes my greetings, and I would like to make a toast to signal the start of the party."

You don't necessarily have to make a toast at a party, but since I'm the one hosting this party…… The plan is based on what I imagine a standing party to be like, so we're going to start it with a toast.

"As for the signaling toast…… Due to the person's request, it will be the God of this world, Shiro-san, who will be performing the toast. And so, Shiro-san, take it away."

Yes, actually, it wasn'twho would be giving the signal toast this time. No, at first, I was planning to do it myself, but Shiro-san wanted to do it, so I decided to leave it to her. Incidentally, as for the reason why she wanted to do it, I could guess from what she said to Kuro afterward: "Kuro provided the venue, the ship, but I'm helping Kaito-san to give the toast signal, so this time's match is a draw".

In addition, the straightforward response "…..No, rather than draw…… I don't remember us competing in any way though……" Kuro gave back to her left quite the impression in my mind.

Well, in any case, there's no one who would complain about Shiro-san giving the toast, so in a way, it can be said that there's no problem at all.

Then, Shiro-san, who con stage at my prompting, slightly raised her glass……

"Well then, cheers."

"Please wait right there, aren't you being too quick!?"

Exhibiting the usual airheadedness, she gave the signal toast with zero preamble before the other participants had even set up their glasses. What's frightening is that if I didn't complain, Shiro-san's signal toast would not only be fine, but "those who couldn't respond to her toast would be instead considered disrespectful".

Well, I already expected Shiro-san to act airheadedly, so I had no choice but to follow her up.

"……Excuse my intrusion. Now then, everyone, please hold your glasses in your hands. Then, following Shiro-san's signal, I would like everyone to make a toast."

After conveying that to everyone and taking control of the situation, we started over, raising our glasses once again, and with Shiro-san's words, we made the toast and the party officially began.

As long as everyone enjoys themselves in their own way, everything should be fine now…… What concernsnow though is Shiro-san, who doesn't look like she had any intention of getting off the stage.

[……Shiro-san? The signal toast is over, you know?]

[Yes. However, Kaito-san would be coming to greetfirst, yes? I will be the one you're greeting at the start…… so I'm the first.]

[Errr, yes, that's right.]

[Well then, isn't it fine if you stay withlike this now?]

[……Well…… it's not like we can't do that…… but for the tbeing, how about we go to where Chronois-san and the others are first?]

[I understand.]

I understand the point Shiro-san is making there. She was really emphasizing that "first" part, but well, let's not worry about that. However, we couldn't just stay on this stage and chat with Shiro-san, so I decided to go to where the three SuprGods were for the tbeing.

[By the way, Kaito-san.]

[Yes?]

[What number am I for the greetings?]

[Eh? No, like I said, you're the first.]

[Fumu, so in that order, I'm the first huh?]

[……Yes, yes, you're the first.]

[I see, is that so, is that so.]

Hearing my words, Shiro-san nodded, kinda looking very satisfied. It's just, I'm begging you, please don't go and assert dominance over Kuro for this later…… I feel like you'd just end up picking a fight with her……

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Well, it's true that the only ones who can really complain to Shiro at the venue are Kuro and Kaito…… maybe Makina can do it too?]

Makina : [I can, but I don't want to. I have a bit of trauma when it comes to Shallow Vernal…… as long as it doesn't involve my beloved child, I don't want to do anything confrontational against her, and just thinking of doing that scares me.]

Serious-senpai : [……Even though you were fighting her for the silliest of reasons back at the housewarming party…… No, well, I guess that one has something to do with Kaito but……]
