Unlike the festival they prepared where it was more of an event where I was introduced to everyone, the surprise party they prepared was just a simple celebration where everyone just ate, drank and talked amongst themselves.

It was just a light hearted celebration and it was nice to see everyone gathered together.

Of course they did not just invite everyone, they only invited the people whom I had at least personally acquainted myself with to the surprise party.

Everyone also shared stories and those that have written something went ahead to share excerpts of their writing too.

I also decided to share a little of what I\'ve written as well, though I made sure to hide the beginning where I mentioned about me returning back in time.

My disciples already knew about it but not everyone here knew that yet so I chose to keep it secret for now.

Perhaps it was pointless since everyone already knew about me being Origin so something like me being transported back in time might be something they wouldn\'t even bat an eye about. Still… I figured if some of them knew about it, they might make some requests which I might find hard to reject…

Speaking of which, I\'ve made quite a lot of progress on my writing.

Ever since I knew the problem with how I was writing it, I adjusted my mentality and allowed the words to just flow on to the pages through my hand. I\'ve already written quite a lot in such a short time and it just feels like I would not be stopping any time soon.

Of course, I have the option of just willing the book to write itself instead of having me write it, but the point of this was so that I had something to occupy my time with.

It would be stupid if I just let it write itself and then end up with nothing to do again.

Besides… I\'m actually enjoying myself with this.

By writing all of this down, I came to remember what I\'ve experienced and reminisce on the past as well.

It was certainly interesting to think back on everything that has happened which led all of us to this point in time.

And all this started because Iris decided to send me back in time to redo this life once again in an attempt to bring me back to my old self, only to end up making me stray so far away from that self because of it.

"Ara, ara? It certainly is ironic, isn\'t it, Master?" Iris giggled while giving me the most perfect lap pillow in existence in the middle of my courtyard.

I believe my disciples were letting Iris accompany me for the entire day as thanks for helping them with the surprise party the other day.

But right now I\'m just taking a break from writing and just enjoying myself with her.

I sighed contentedly, "It certainly is… Mnnngghh… And yet even now you are still plotting against me."

"Ufufufu~ I have to apologise for that, Master~ But when they wanted to plan a surprise party for Master, I could not help but want to get involved too~"

"Mmhmm… That\'s why you stayed behind to help them contact the gods and invite them to the party while making sure that I would not accidentally find out about it by hiding this reality from me, right?"

"Ufufufu~ That\'s right, Master~ Are you perhaps upset?"

"Oh not at all, I like surprises like these. And it really does make me feel very lucky to have met all of you. Thank you."

"Ara? We should be thanking you, Master. Without you, none of us would be where we are today. What\'s more, you\'ve already done so much for us~"

I smiled at her before a thought crossed my mind.

"Iris?"

"What is it, Master?"

"Have you ever been bored?"

"Ufufufu~ I assume Master wants to know if I have been in the same position as you are right now?"

"Kind of, yes."

"Unfortunately, I will have to admit that I have not, Master. To me, Master is my everything, there is absolutely no possibility for me to actually feel bored when I am watching or accompanying Master~"

"Even though before this I never even interacted with you?"

"Ara, ara? Our current situation is an upgrade over the past, Master~ Have you forgotten? It\'s not like we were this close even before you lost your memories~"

That\'s true… The old me was kind of an ass wasn\'t he?

Iris smiled upon reading my thoughts, "That isn\'t true, Master~ You loved us all equally. That is not something anyone could have done~"

Well… I don\'t know what it\'s really like so I didn\'t comment on it.

She then asked me a question of her own, "If Master would allow me a question though. What are your plans for the future?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"Ufufufu~ Does Master have a long term goal in mind? Before this, Master has been living for the sake of us, haven\'t you? In order to help your little disciples ascend, you have guided them all to this point. And now you have the \'easy life\' you wanted… Only to find that it was not as easy as you thought it to be. Does Master have any plans aside from that?"

Ouch, Iris… You sure know how to hit where it hurts huh?

I sighed again, "Right now… I have this book to occupy my time with I suppose. But truth be told… I guess this was carried over from the previous life where I tried so hard and went so far, only to fall and fail at the very end. I thought that I might just lay back and relax this time but I see my own nature does not agree with me. To do nothing and watch things pass by is just not something I can do."

"Ufufufu~ I suppose that just means that Master will have to keep looking for things to do, right?"

"I suppose so. At least I can be assured that this will at the very least keep me busy for the next few years or so."

Iris tilted her head at me, "Ara, ara? That long, Master? I thought you might only be able to have this occupy you for a few weeks at most."

"Naaaah… I still have other things that I can do, you know? I\'m not going to just keep writing all day and do nothing else."

"Ufufufu~ That\'s good, I don\'t think any of us would want to be ignored by Master either~"

"Oh please. I love all of you too much for that. Just… Hmm… I guess this is a good time to say it? I\'ll be in your care."

"Ara, ara? Ufufufu~ Likewise Master~ Please take care of us for the rest of eternity~"

Rest of eternity huh? I guess that\'s what I have to do.
