I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1832: Creating a Guest List

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.]
While consulting with Alice, I continued to write down the invited guests on a paper. It was important not to miss anyone, so I double-checked…… but since Alice had prepared a chair and sat next to me before I knew it, it seemed she intended to stay with me until I finished making the list, so there shouldn’t be a problem.
[As I make this list, I can’t help noticing it seems longer than it was for the housewarming party……]
[Well, you’ve become acquainted with all the Six Kings’ Executives after all. I mean, frankly speaking, you don’t need to invite those perverts at my place since they’re basically just going to be nuisances……]
[Even if you say that, I can’t just exclude them. No, well, it would be bad if their identities were exposed and there are some crazy ones among them, so please tell them that they don’t necessarily have to attend…… Well, the other Executives would probably be busy too, so all of them might not come…….]
[……No, all of them are going to end up coming, okay? Even if they say they’re busy, adjusting schedules for someone with the power of a Peak Count-rank is quite manageable. If there’s about a month between the invitation’s arrival and the event, they wouldn’t have any problem.]
I was thinking there were many influential people among those invited, so I thought it would be difficult for everyone to attend…… but Alice estimated that everyone would attend without any problems. In that case, everyone would probably actually come……
Alice is truly dependable, but I shouldn’t rely on her too much…… If I rely on her too much here, it would deviate from my intention of me and the people living with me making our own efforts as the host…… wait, she may always disappear from my sight, but acting as my guard, she always stays by my side and is practically living here too, right? No, well, even if that’s the case, if I rely too much on Alice, I might end up thinking I should just leave everything to her, so I should be careful not to let that happen.
[Unn? What’s the matter, Kaito-san? You look a bit off……]
[Ahh, no, I was just thinking Alice is practically part of the family.]
[Fuahh!? U- U- U- Umm, K- Kaito-san!? W- What are you suddenly…… N- No, essentially…… in the future…… t- that might be the case, b- but as expected, it’s too early for that……]
[………………]
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.

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.]
