If it was as Alice said, Jane-san being an Otherworld God, it would be a mystery where the letter had come, but the destination it was sent to was simply an address in Hydra Kingdom, and I was supposed to send a reply there.
Well, if she really were an omnipotent god, something like an address wouldnāt be a big deal, so thatās not really the issue. Whatās important is figuring out what her true objective is, including the fact that she was part of the party from the very beginning.
From my personal impression, Jane-san doesnāt seem like a bad person. Although her facial muscles were dead, I didnāt sense any malice in our interactions; in fact, she seemed like a good person.
Itās completely based on intuition, but according to Alice, āKaito-san, your first impressions in these matters are usually spot on.ā, so I want to believe itās okay.
After exchanging a few letters and setting a date, the day finally came for Jane-sanās visit. To be honest, if she was a God on the same level as Shiro-san or Makina-san, I would have expected her to visit more forcefullyā¦ā¦ but she politely exchanged letters, consulted me carefully about the schedule, and then visited, so by this point, I already had the impression that she was a pretty decent person.
[Well~~ Itās been a while since the ship party. Iām really happy to meet you again, Kaito-samaā¦ā¦ Ah, I brought some baked goods, here you go.]
[Hello, Jane-san. Thank you for the gift.]
[No, no, sorry that itās just cheap stuffā¦ā¦ Ah, excuse me. Before we start, may I apologize for something?]
[Eh? Apologize?]
[Yes, actually, I lied to you, Kaito-sama. The name I used last time, Jane Doe, isnāt my real name. Tahaa~~ Iām really sorry for being such a mysterious woman with multiple names. I didnāt have any bad intentions, but I had some circumstances that kept me from using my real name for a while, so I ended up using a fake name on the spot.]
According to Alice, āJane Doeā was apparently a name used back in my world for unidentified female corpses, so I had guessed it might be a fake name.
However, from Jane-sanās tone, it doesnāt seem like she was trying to deceive me, but rather that she used a fake name because she felt uncomfortable using her real name due to some circumstances.
[ā¦ā¦Introducing myself once again, Iām Canalis. Troublesome it may be, Iād appreciate it if you could update your records about me with this name.]
[Canalis-san then, understood.]
How should I say thisā¦ā¦ She admitted to being a god too easily, or rather, she didnāt seem to be trying to hide it at all. While guiding Jane-sanāāā Canalis-san to the reception room, we continued our conversation.
[By the way, what about when you said you were with Laguna-san back at the party?]
[Thatās a fact. No, well, I was invisible and followed from behind, so it wasnāt as if I participated as Laguna-samaās companionā¦ā¦ Oh, but please donāt worry. Indeed, I wasnāt formally invited, but Iām not shameless enough to eat or drink in such a state. Even though Iām envying the others as they get to eat those delicious-looking food, I didnāt touch anything!]
[ā¦ā¦No, I wouldnāt have minded if you had eaten or drunk somethingā¦ā¦]
[Ohh, youāre more generous than I expected, as expected of Kaito-sama, quite charming you are! ā¦ā¦I wish I knew that back at the party though.]
She continued her lively, fast-paced conversation as usualā¦ā¦ but her facial expression didnāt move an inch. It seems that her dead facial muscles arenāt an act but are genuinely real.
Well, Iām used to this kind of thing with Shiro-san, but in Canalis-sanās case, her voice is full of emotion, so she feels different from Shiro-san and her voice that lacks intonation.
[So, why did you come to that party in the first place?]
[I came because I wanted to see Kaito-sama. Ah~~ Errr, I hope you donāt take this the wrong way, but youāre currently the hottest topic among the World Creators, with rumors about you spreading everywhere. Tahaa~~ Itās that, you know? You could say youāre currently trending!]
[ā¦ā¦Eh? Me? W- Why?
[Hmmm, this might sound like Iām speaking ill of your lover, so I hope you donāt get upset butā¦ā¦ Shallow Vernal is literally the embodiment of the End, someone the World Creators deeply fear. Since Kaito-sama had won against that Shallow Vernal and had her as your lover, the World Creators were like, well, how should I say thisā¦ā¦ Theyāre all thinking along the lines of āwhat kind of monster are you?ā, and everyone seems to respect you for it. Ahh, of course, Iām also Kaito-samaās fan!]
[ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦I- I see?]
Somehow, I had just been hit with an incredible revelationā¦ā¦ Eh? Iām being talked about among the Omnipotent and Omniscient Gods? Thatās a shocking new fact I just learned.
[Afterword]
Serious-senpai: [That just shows how much Shiro was feared, but Kaito, both among the nobles and Gods, he seriously became famous in all the weird placesā¦ā¦]
? ? ?: [Thanks to Alice-chanās efforts, the general public doesnāt know much about himā¦ā¦ but I wonder? Canāt you hear it? The sound of a stomachache flag rising for a certain Duchessā¦ā¦]
Serious-senpai: [Just let her go alreadyā¦ā¦]
