If audio player doesn't work, press Stop then Play button again




A grand banquet was held to expand the paradise and welcome the intermediate level spirits. The planned theater performance by the Great Spirits and the handbell concert by Belle, Gina, Fukuchan, and Sakura were a great success, and the banquet ended without a hitch. Except for the Spirit Kings and the Great Spirits who were about to start drinking.

"Whew! Moon, thank you. I feel much better.

"............"

He is happy to be able to help, and pats Moon, who is shaking more than usual, and thanks him for his help.

Moon's healing is the best cure for a hangover.

When I get up from the bed, Moon is on my head. It seems he intends to work with me.

"I know I summoned you all of a sudden, but don't you have to go back to where you were?"

I guess he doesn't need to go back to where he came from, since he is still shaking on top of my head after my question.

"Oh Yuta, good morning. It's already past breakfast time.

"Uh-huh, Yuta, good morning. But you can't go to bed!"

When I went to the living room, Sylphy and Dine, who were part of the reason why I overslept, greeted me in the morning with elegant cups of tea.

"Good morning Sylphy and Deanne. I'm only human, so if I'm forced to drink a lot of alcohol and stay up until almost dawn, it's no wonder I oversleep."

As expected, Gina gave us a reproachful look, but the encore performance by the volunteers was a great success.

As night fell, the floating spirits and the lower class spirits were dismissed from the banquet to take a rest, and the middle class spirits, who enjoy being well-behaved, left the banquet to take care of the younger children.

And then the adult time begins.

The real banquet including alcohol starts with the spirit kings, the great spirits, and Ruby and other advanced spirits who helped us.

The feast is a big party with drinks from all over the continent and from the breweries in paradise, which I have Marie collect for me, and the remaining banquet dishes.

The expansion of the paradise and the participation of the middle class spirits is a big deal for me as well.

I think it was really a big deal because I also thanked Ruby and the others who helped me a lot for the banquet.

Well, I will thank Ruby and her friends later, but I still treated them very well.

The spirits were excited to compare the drinks and the compatibility of the food and the drinks.

I had planned to leave after a short time, but they didn't let me leave and kept me company until dawn.

I don't mind the big game, but next time I'd like to offer them a big game only after I'm allowed to leave freely on the condition that they offer me alcohol.

Yeah, I'll make sure to have a contract ready.

After a long time of drinking, I summoned Moon to cure my hangover the moment I woke up, and here I am now.

"Speaking of which, where are the spirit kings?"

I was so drunk at the end of the banquet that I don't even remember coming back to my room, so naturally, I don't know what happened to the spirit kings.

Gina and Belle are probably fine.

Someone has fed them properly and they are probably running all over the paradise for training or playing.

But I think it's bad for a host to leave the spirit kings alone. I couldn't help it. .......

"When Yuta went down, the banquet was over and the spirit kings went home."

I didn't get crushed, I got crushed.

I see, so the spirit kings went home.

They must have been drinking so much that they were more like monsters than buzzards.

"I see, well, please tell the spirit kings that I'm sorry I couldn't see them off."

"I don't think that's necessary, but I'll let them know."

"Thank you. I'm going to go check outside for a while.

I would like to have a cup of coffee, but I am also concerned about the cleanup after the banquet and the state of the intermediate level spirits. I'll take a walk and look around.

"Yuta, aren't you going to eat breakfast?

Deanne asks curiously.

I guess she was curious because I always educate Belle and Gina about the importance of breakfast.

It's strange to be worried about food from a spirit who doesn't need to eat.

"I've been drinking and eating until dawn, as you can imagine, so I'm feeling better, but I'm not hungry.

Even though I feel better, I feel as if all the contents of my stomach have not been digested.

In general, when I lived alone, I usually skipped breakfast.

The reason why I was so obsessed with breakfast was because I had Belle and Gina and others by my side, and I would not have been so obsessed if I had been alone.

Well, Belle and Gina don't need to eat, let alone breakfast, but it's bad for little children's hearts if they don't eat anything, isn't it?

Sylphy and Dine continue their tea, so I wave to them and leave the house.

I wave to them and leave the house. I look at the giant spirit tree that is always in bloom, the source of the cherry blossoms, and start walking slowly.

Floating spirits and lower level spirits are playing around in the paradise. They wave back at me occasionally as I continue my walk.

I did not find any middle class spirits among the spirits flying around.

They are probably enjoying paradise while doing their job properly.

The most likely places to be are the stores and the newly built facilities at ...... paradise. And maybe around the extended space where the intermediate level spirits can freely work.

After cleaning up after the banquet, let's take a look around.

When we arrived at the banquet hall, it was clean and tidy.

All that was left were the various plants grown for the banquet, the huge stage, the water cups, and the bonfire.

Oh, that's Dolly over there. Probably checking on the plants we made grow.

Just in time. Let's see if he can tell us why the banquet hall's been cleared out.

Dory, good morning.

"Good morning, Yuta-san. Are you feeling okay?

I reply to Dolly's concerned voice, pointing overhead.

Dolly smiles at Moon who is pulling on my head.

She must have realized that I was hung over and Moon was taking care of me.

"The banquet hall looks pretty clean, did you guys clean it up?"

"Yes. After the banquet, everyone worked together to clean up. Hmmm, the spirit kings also helped us.

The spirit kings helped you.

I feel sorry for them, but it's also the cause of my downfall, so I'm not sure how to feel about it.

But I really wanted to see how Light-sama and Dark-sama were cleaning up.

It would have been a fascinating scene, even if they both meant different things.

"What about the rest of the food and the barrels of wine?"

"The food was brought back to the diner by Ruby and her friends. They modified it and served it in the dining room in the morning. Gina and her friends, Belle and her friends, and Sakura also went to eat there.

I see, there must have been a special menu at the cafeteria in Paradise this morning. Belle, Gina, and Sakura must have been overjoyed. I wish I could have been there.

Where's the keg?

"We all drank responsibly."

It's hard to say to a smiling Dolly, but I don't think I'd call that responsibility.

"Well, what about the empty barrels?"

Nomos and If, the brewers, collected everything. They were happy that they had all the sake they could pack."

Dolly's words made me very uneasy. I wondered how much liquor they were planning to fill up, and whether they had consumed enough barrels of liquor to be happy with all the liquor they could fill.

My memory is hazy about the last part, and I can't deny the possibility that they are giving out even more after the big deal.

I'm afraid to check the inventory of the sake barrels in the magic bag.

"Oh, yeah. Dolly helped us clean up, didn't she? Thank you."

I'll deal with the scary stuff later.

Let's forget about the consumed keg for now.

"No, we had a great time too. The atmosphere, the food, the drinks, everyone's performances were great, and the play was a lot of fun. Cleaning up afterwards was no problem at all.

Dolly's face is so sparkling.

It seems to be true that this banquet was a lot of fun.

"You said you enjoyed the play, did you like it too?"

I knew that Dineh and Ifu showed their emotions honestly, but Dolly always smiled elegantly, so it was difficult to understand her emotions along with Sylphy, who is an expressionless type of person.

No, Sylphy is expressionless, but her actions and eyes show her emotions, so in a way it is easier to understand her emotions.

Maybe Dolly is the one whose emotion is the hardest to understand among all the great spirits I have contracted.

By the way, the one whose emotion is the hardest to understand among the contracted spirits is Moon who is above my head now.

He has no facial expression, and I wonder if he is happy by his vibration frequency. I can only tell what is going on around me, so I have to make a lot of judgments while looking at the situation around me.

Sarah seems to have a good understanding of Pul-chan's feelings, so it must be my lack of training.

"Yes. I was shy to speak up at first, but we had a lot of fun discussing and turning a picture book into a play.

You sound like a high school student who devotes his youth to club activities.

But maybe I really was having fun like a high school student.

"That's right. The kids who came to visit us in paradise would be happy too, and it would be nice to practice a new play again. Oh, and I'm not in paradise a lot, so leave me out of the casting."

The little villains were also little villains, and it was very difficult to get their voices and inflections to sound like little villains.

The play is meant to be enjoyed by the audience.

"Hmm, I don't know if Yuta will be left out of the casting, but I, Dine and If are going to do the next play. That's why I asked them to keep the stage."

I see, so that's why the stage, bonfire, and water cups are still there.

I guess Dory was more motivated than I thought.

I'm sure Sylphy and Vita will be fine, but I feel a little sorry for Nomos, who is sure to get caught in the middle of all this.

I can see a future where they will run out of people and even make me do the voice-over.

Even if they refuse to do it, they will be forced to do it.

But the other spirits, except Sylphy, tend to take it easy when they are not managing the paradise and making sake, so maybe it is not a bad hobby.

Maybe someday a theater company will be established in paradise.

My cheeks relax at the sight of the happy future, but I was planning to check on the intermediate spirits after the banquet hall was cleaned up.

If they are done cleaning up. Let's move on.
