Chapter 531: First Anniversary Extra Chapter ~~ The God of Creation Wants to Pamper ~~ (1/2)

The most sacred place in the God Realm…… the island where the God of Creation Shallow Vernal lives, Sanctuary.

Shallow Vernal was staring at the edge of the Sanctuary just as usual, when the God of Time and Space Chronois appeared.

[……Shallow Vernal-sama, you summoned me?]

Even though she had her head deeply bowed before she spoke, Chronois' inner thoughts were in turmoil.

This is because Chronois knew from her past experiences that being suddenly summoned by Shallow Vernal meant that she would almost certainly make her do something outrageous.

Though she thinks like that, it's not like she could ignore her summons, as she was absolutely loyal to Shallow Vernal. She could only wait for Shallow Vernal's words, her mind filled with trepidation.

[Kaito-san won't let me pamper him.]

[……Huh?]

[Kaito-san won't let me pamper him.]

[………]

After listening to Shallow Vernal's intonationless voice, Chronois was dumbfounded for a moment before she thought about it for a moment and responded.

[……I see, but isn't that something inevitable? Miyama isn't the type of person who would take advantage of others too much.]

[But he's being pampered by Kuro.]

[……………….]

[Just Kuro is unfair, I also want to pamper him.]

[I- I see……]

Although Shallow Vernal is often dry or rather emotionless, there are only two things that would make her emotions evident.

The first is, of course, Kaito. Not to mention Chronois, it is well known to all Gods that Shallow Vernal clearly regards Kaito as special, and is often expressing her emotions when it's something related to him.

As for the second one…… Well, Chronois has questions in her mind as she doesn't know why this is the case, but Shallow Vernal was also showing her emotions towards the Underworld King Kuromueina…… Or rather, it seemed like they had some sort of rivalry against each other.

(I guess she's conscious of her because of the fact that she has the same level of strength huh?)

Not knowing that Kuromueina is Shallow Vernal's half body, Chronois simply recognized Shallow Vernal's emotions as rivalry against her rival, just as what Chronois felt for Ein.

But well, that's not really important here. What's important is that if either of those two were involved, the level of outrageousity springs up…….

[……Ummm, Shallow Vernal-sama. So, why is it that I've been called?]

[Do something about it.]

[……Yes?]

[Do something about it.]

[……H- Haahhh…… I'd like it if you tell me something more concrete……]

[I leave it to you.]

[……I respectfully obey.]

And thus came the Shallow Vernal's outrageous request, telling her to do something about how she wasn't able to pamper Kaito. Unfortunately for Chronois, she didn't have the option of refusing, so she deeply bowed her head and left the Sanctuary.

(……Umu, even so, today's command is rather easy. All I have to do is ask Miyama to allow himself to be pampered by Shallow Vernal-sama. I'm fortunately reasonably close to Miyama, so there shouldn't be any problem. I guess I should go to Miyama's home and quickly get this over with……)

A few seconds after Chronois left, Shallow Vernal, who felt the disruption of magic power nearby, turned around and saw Kaito appear with the light of Teleportation Magic.

[Hello, Shiro-san…… Wait, what's the matter?]

[……You arrived faster than I had expected. Hello, Kaito-san.]

[……Unnn? Ah, yes. Errr, I had received some delicious sweets, so if Shiro-san doesn't mind, how about we have some tea?]

[I don't mind. Well then, I will prepare it.]

Feeling that it was unusual for Kaito to make such a suggestion, Shallow Vernal lightly waved her finger and prepared a table and two chairs.

Thereupon, she sits down facing Kaito, and makes a cup of tea for the two of them appear. Kaito also took out some sweets from his magic box and put them on the table before taking a seat.

[How unusual. For Kaito-san to invite me for tea……]

[Eh? Ah, well~~ I just wanted to spend some time with you once in a while……]

[I see.]

Shallow Vernal, wondering what Kaito had in mind, started reading what he was thinking. Thereupon……

(……Even though she said to pamper Shiro-san, what am I supposed to do? For the time being, I've come to visit her but…… Hmmm. Should I ask for a lap pillow like I do with Kuro? No, but how the heck could I even ask something like that…… Let's just think of some other ways to ask first……)

It seems that Kaito has come to this place with the idea of having Shallow Vernal pamper him. That development that Shallow Vernal could ask for but…… he's apparently shying away.

[……Unnn? Ummm, Shiro-san? Errr, the table, tea, and the sweets disappeared…… I don't know if it's my imagination, but it also feels like the chair is elongating……]

[No, it's just that I was just thinking that Kaito-san might be thinking of asking me something.]

[……Ummm, I'm actually thinking of other ways to……]

[No.]

[……Shiro-san already knows about it anyway, so I don't think I should really need to mention it……]

[If Kaito-san doesn't tell me, I wouldn't understand what Kaito-san wants me to do.]

[…………………]

When Shallow Vernal nonchalantly told him this, Kaito looked as if he wanted to refute her words, but knowing that Shallow Vernal would not give in, he just deeply sighed and spoke.

[……Errr, I- I've been extremely tired lately…… a- and being with Shiro-san relieves my heart, so ummm…… it would be great if I could…… ask for a lap pillow…… though it might be rude of me to ask this……]

[It can't be helped. I'm in a very good mood right now, so if Kaito-san ”really insists”, I might consider it.]

[……I- I really want Shiro-san to give me a lap pillow.]

[I'll grant your request then.]

Hearing Kaito shyly tell him this, a faint smile appeared in Shallow Vernal's almost unchanging look before she tapped her own lap.

Before Kaito knew it, Shallow Vernal's chair became as wide as a bench. Standing up from his seat, Kaito moves over and slowly lays his head down on Shallow Vernal's lap with a look of resignation on his face.

[……What is this, this feeling of defeat……]

[Oya? That's a strange thing for you to say. Kaito-san's request has been granted, isn't it? Isn't that rather a victory?]
