Chapter 586: Lets Stop Scolding Her About the Seesaw (2/2)

Even though just standing here is making me helplessly uncomfortable…… Ah, Kuro’s already holding the mic to my face. Everyone’s also quietly waiting for me…… I guess I can’t not do this huh.

With my trembling hand, I took the microphone from Kuro and looked at the leaders of the world from the stage. They were all looking at me with serious expressions on their faces…… Wait, what the heck, Luna-san. Why the heck do you look so happy over there!? Heck, you’re even holding in your laughter! Seriously, this person……

“……Errr, to be honest, I don’t really know what to say here…… but for the time being, for coming together despite the short notice, thank you very much.”

Well, whatever happens happens…… Let’s just leave things to fate…… no, destiny. Let’s not leave anything to fate. Ahh, this won’t do. I can’t think of anything to say. All I can think of is “I’m so happy”, “thank you” or stuff like that.

I mean, honestly, I think I’ve said all I have to say…… No, but I don’t know what to say after that…… W- W- W- What should I do……

“Thinking about it again, it’s only been half a year since I came into this world, hasn’t it? I guess it was quite a short time.”

However, Heaven hadn’t abandoned me. Unlike the me back then, I stared straight ahead without confusion in my mind, and spun words without them getting stuck in my throat.

“However, I feel truly blessed to have met so many people in such a short time, building up so many bonds with everyone.”

The reason why I, who had been panicking just a few minutes ago, was able to calmly greet everyone was because…… Alice was at the very back of the venue, silently spreading out a “gigantic cue card” so that others could not see it.

A- Aliiiiiiiiice! Nice follow-up! I knew you were someone I can count on when needed!!!

Alice went on to give a brief summary of what I could say, she then winked at me. I guess that means I’ll have to close down my speech with my own words…… Unnn, I’ve been being helped so far, so I guess I should somehow handle the rest……

“……If possible, I would like to continue laughing, having fun, and being happy with all of you in the future. My greetings might be simple, but I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone.”

Thanks to Alice’s super fine support, I managed to finish my greeting.

Thereupon, a glass suddenly appears in my hand…… which no matter how I think about it, this is the deed of the perfect maid.

“……Once again, thank you so much for your time today! Cheers!”

Raising the glass that suddenly appeared in my hand up high, everyone had raised their glasses, which had appeared before I knew it, and exclaimed “Cheers!” in response. And just like that, my birthday party began.

Dear Mom, Dad———— Well, I have a lot to say about her, but Alice did a really good job this time. It was a wonderful fine support. Unnn————- let’s stop lecturing her about the seesaw.

Serious-senpai : [Oi ? ? ?, stop tooting your own horn…… That’s not on the level of self-praise anymore……]

Serious-senpai : [……What about my version?]
