For the sake of a smooth conversation, I decided it would be better to call Nebula, so I asked her to come to the reception room as well.
[You called for me, Milord?]
[Unn. Iād like you to sit in on thisā¦ā¦]
[I see. It would certainly make things smoother with me here. Hello, Canalis-san. May I join you?]
[Yesh! Ah, yes. H- Hello, Nebula-sanā¦ā¦ P- Please go ahead.]
[Hmmm. I would appreciate it if you could speak more naturallyā¦ā¦ but I suppose we can have that as a goal for the future.]
[Urk, m- my apologies. Iām just relieved I managed to say your name without stutteringā¦ā¦]
Canalis-sanās expression was as unchanging as ever, but her voice clearly betrayed her nervousness, almost as if she were in awe. From what Iād heard before, Nebula might have a higher standing than her in the past.
Well, Nebula didnāt seem bothered by it, smiling wryly, so I didnāt think there was any need to worry.
[So, the reason Milord called me is that he figured out that Canalis-san and I were acquainted?]
[T- Thatās right. I mean, Nebula-sanā¦ā¦ you told Kaito-sama that you were a God?]
[Yes, Absolute that I am, I see no need to hide anything from Milord. I informed him ahead of time to avoid him feeling surprised later on.]
[I see, thatās very much like you, Nebula-sanā¦ā¦ but in that case, maybe I didnāt need to force myself to address you with ā-sanā honorificsā¦ā¦]
[No, the current situation is different from before, and itās appropriate to behave accordingly. I trust that you can adapt to that, Canalis-san.]
[N- Nebula-sanā¦ā¦ Y- Yes! Iāll do my best!]
Well, even now, Nebula is pretty amazing, and if she was much more powerful than in her current state, she must have been even more incredible before. So, Canalis-sanās reaction was understandable.
[But in any case, this does make things easier to discuss. Kaito-sama, I actually came here today with a rather presumptuous request. Tahaaa~~ Iām terribly sorry for being so bold! I was worrying about how to bring it up, but since you already know about Nebulaās situation, itāll be quicker.]
[Unn? A request?]
[Umm, Iām aware itās a terribly impolite thing to ask, butā¦ā¦ Could I live in your home?]
[Eh? In my home?]
[Yes! I wonāt be a bother at all, and if thereās no room, I can create a pocket dimension to live in, and Iāll pay rent!]
[I donāt mind.]
[I completely understand if you want to say no, but I justā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ Unn? Ah~~ Iām sorry, Kaito-sama, was that an OK just now?]
[Eh? Ah, yes.]
Since I had no reason to refuse, and there were plenty of spare rooms, I didnāt think it would be an issue, but it seemed my easy approval caught Canalis-san off guard, and she asked again, confused.
[ā¦ā¦No, no, letās think this through. I certainly am the one who requested you, but you should really consider it carefully! You canāt just let someone youāve only met twice, who has a deadpan face and dead eyes, suddenly move into your house! You should be more cautiousā¦ā¦ Not that Iād ever harm you, of courseā¦ā¦]
Canalis-sanās reaction was surprisingly sensible for an Omnipotent God. Given the strong impressions Gods like Shiro-san and Makina-san had, the fact that she was so down-to-earth was a bit disorienting.
[Canalis-san, I believe Milord has taken into account that you and I are acquainted, but more than that, he has an exceptional eye for people. Iām certain that MIlordās response is based on his understanding that you are a person of strong virtue.]
[I- Is that soā¦ā¦ Kaito-sama, while Iām certainly grateful, please donāt feel like you have to be overly considerate. After all, this would mean a new resident in your home, so letās make sure to thoroughly discuss and agree on the conditions. Iām more than willing to follow the rules of your household, so please donāt hesitate to say whatās necessary.]
[A- Alright. Well, letās take our time and discuss the details.]
ā¦ā¦No, seriously, Canalis-san is so reasonable that itās almost disorienting. But well, if itās Canalis-san, I donāt think there will be any issues. Considering sheās also familiar with Nebula, and her bright, approachable personalityā¦ā¦ Once they get used to her unchanging expression, Iām sure everyone else will get along with her quickly.
[Afterword]
Serious-senpai: [Well, I can understand being surprised at how sensible she is when you compare her to Shiro and Makina. Also, an Omnipotent God just went to live in Kaitoās house huhā¦ā¦ As expected of the Singularity.]
