Chapter 705: Lets Have a Housewarming Party ⑦ (1/2)

It's not that I want a job, or that I have to do something to keep myself busy, or that I'm in need of money.

I was just having the lighthearted thought that if I'm going to live in this world, I should be able to earn my own money….. but for some reason, Alice stopped me with the most serious expression I have ever seen on her face.

[……Errr, i- is it really that big of a deal?]

[It will really become that big of a deal. Just thinking about such a situation is scary…… It seems that Kaito-san doesn't quite understand the gravity of the situation, so I'll explain to you how each of such situations could be possible.]

[Ahh, yes.]

How should I say this…… With a low voice that sounded like the assassin mode that I had once seen in Archlesia Empire and with a menacing expression on her face, Alice continued.

[First of all, let's say that Kaito-san is hired by someone. What do you think will happen then? Do you think that deranged God would keep quiet about someone who is in the position of ”Kaito-san's boss”?]

[……I don't think so.]

Indeed, I don't think Eden-san would stay quiet in such a situation. Rather, let's make sure such a thing doesn't happen.

What will happen in that situation…… is so scary to even imagine.

[And let's say, hypothetically, that you somehow convince that lunatic and Kaito-san starts working…… I'll say this now, but your hypothetical boss and co-workers would ”treat you like a walking timebomb”, you know? After all, if something ever happens to Kaito-san…… No, even if it's something like being scolded for something Kaito-san does, dangerous people would come swooping in to your side.]

[……By your words, does that mean that it wouldn't just be Eden-san?]

[My lunatic subordinate, that fanatic maid, this world's God, ”……You're…… bullying Kaito.”, there's a whole lot of them.]

[……………..]

Indeed, now that she mentioned it, it would end up in one heck of a minefield. What's more frightening is that most of those people are likely to finish their actions before I could even be aware of their thoughts.

In a way, Eden-san, who flamboyantly makes her actions, might actually be the easier one to deal with.

[Well then, let's think about the situation where Kaito-san starts your own business instead of being employed by someone else.]

[U- Unnn.]

[First of all, I'm 100% sure that doing such a thing would make Anima-san cry in despair.]

[……Eh?]

[”B- Because I'm not working hard enough…… M- Master would move himself…… M- My apologies! Please, oh please reconsider! I will try even harder! So that Master wouldn't have to bother himself…… That's why…… please……”]

[……That's seriously going to happen?]

[According to the prediction that Alice-chan's supercomputer-like brain, there's a 100% chance that will happen.]

……Then, that would really happen. I see, Anima certainly is too serious of a person…… If such a situation does happen, she will definitely think that ”it must be her fault”……

[In addition, there's also that development where….. Saying ”K- Kaito-kun!? What's the matter? Do you need money? In that case, I'll give you some. How much do you want? ……For the time being, how about 10,000 white gold coins?”, the world's richest person in the world would become seriously worried about you.]

[…………………]

[There's also that God of Creation who would recognize Kaito-san working meant that she would have less time to spend with her…… I wouldn't find it strange if you suddenly woke up with a mountain of white gold coins in your garden.]

[……N- No, as expected, making money that way is no good……]

[No good? Says who? It's Shallow Vernal-sama we're talking about here, you know? Who would even dare complain to her? By the way, Kuro-san would also be on Shallow Vernal-sama's side in this matter, you know? As I said earlier, if you work, that would mean that you might not be able to spend as much time with Kuro-san as she would like.]

Indeed, in a sense, Shiro-san is an absolute being in this world. In the eyes of the world, the three realms are treated as equals.

However, it is the ”Supreme Gods” that is considered on par with the Six Kings, the pinnacle of the Demon Realm, and not Shiro-san.

And even the Six Kings, including Ein-san and Alice, who talk to the Supreme Gods with some degree of friendliness, only call Shiro-san with ”Shallow Vernal-sama” and are being treated completely differently by them.

Shiro-san did jokingly said ”I'm the rule here”…… but in reality, I can't say that's wrong.

Shiro-san is the God of this world…… if Shiro-san says that ravens are white, then in this world, ravens are perceived as white. Moreover, no one would ever complain to Shiro-san.

The only exception to this is Kuro, but if it is as Alice says, Kuro would take Shiro-san's side in this matter.

[……How should I say this…… This might be a weird way of putting it…… but me working won't make anyone happy huh……]

[That's right. Kaito-san working brings no benefit at all, and would just bring unhappiness to a lot of people.]

I don't know, this might be just an exaggeration…… but it's as if the world is telling me not to work……
