Chapter 1832: Creating a Guest List
It was decided that I would be the one to create the guest invitation list for the ship party. Kaori-san would assist with the party dishes, Illness-san and the others responsible for cooking would decide on the menu, while Anima and Caraway would handle the procurement of ingredients.
Considering the need for guards and assistants for high-profile individuals like Ryze-san and Chris-san, as well as the possibility of guests bringing a few companions, the number of guests feels like it would be considerable.
Although the magic ship Kuro gifted to me as memorabilia was really luxurious, with its size comparable to that of a grand cruise ship, I couldn't help but think that it might be better to hire chefs to prepare food for such a large number of people but Illness-san assured me that it wouldn't be a problem.
While I felt that if it was Illness-san, she could certainly handle it, I made sure to tell her that she shouldn't push herself too hard and that if necessary, we could hire people through Anima.
[Well, if you're shorthanded, I'll do something about it, so don't worry. It's probably better for Kaito-san and the others to handle this though, so I won't intervene unless there's a problem.]
[That's incredibly reassuring Ahh, Alice. Since you're here, could you give me some advice? How many companions do you think we should allow for the invited guests?]
[Why not have each person declare their desired number of companions? Write that in the invitations and ask them to inform you how many companions they'll bring.]
[I see, that certainly makes sense There's no way all the Gods would show up, right?]
[Couldn't you just make it clear to Shallow Vernal-sama beforehand? That only those you directly invited should come Kaito-san is already acquainted with the Supreme Gods, and since you're also getting acquainted with more High-ranking Gods, there shouldn't be any issues in terms of numbers.]

Oops, I clearly ended up saying that in the wrong way. Alice, who is weak to this kind of topic, blushed and seemed visibly flustered but if I try to clarify her misunderstanding now, wouldn't she feel even more understanding? No, but leaving her having that misunderstanding is also Hmmm.
[Sorry. I didn't phrase that properly. What I meant this time wasn't that, but more like, I was thinking since you're practically living in my house too, you're practically family.]
[Ehh? A- Ahh, so that's how it is! T- That scared me]
[Well, if you're talking about the future as Alice said, even if you did misunderstand that just now, you aren't exactly mistaken about it.]
[Why do you have to make me embarrassed after calming me down!?]
Seeing Alice blush and shout again, I couldn't help but feel amused as I refocused on creating the guest list.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [On the contrary, I think those invited would find it more challenging to find a reason not to attend the party organized by Kaito, where the Six Kings and the Supreme Gods are confirmed to attend Some might end up having stomachaches again.]
? ? ? : [For the time being, it seems Kaori-san is likely to have a serious stomachache.]
