The silence after God's question hung heavy in the air.
Kaito stood with his arms crossed, expression unreadable. He wasn't the type to rush. Especially not when the stakes were this high.
"Three wishes, huh..." he muttered, almost to himself. "Fine. I know exactly what I want."
God leaned forward excitedly like a kid waiting for a story. "Hit me!"
Kaito raised a hand and spoke clearly, voice steady.
"First wish. I want to become an immortal being," he said, locking eyes with God. "And I want five immortal wives. They must be completely loyal to me — and only me. They'll obey my every command, without hesitation. Plus, they must have perfect knowledge. All knowledge. Everything about this world and my previous world — politics, trading, engineering, construction, medicine — everything."
God blinked. Then he let out a low whistle, clearly impressed. "Hoooh, that's a spicy one right out of the gate! Most guys just ask for 'cute wife with big boobs.' You're aiming for the deluxe executive package!"
Kaito didn't smile. He didn't even blink.
God chuckled. "No worries. Wish granted. Five immortal, loyal, genius-level wives, coming right up."
Kaito gave a small nod of approval. "Second wish."
God leaned in closer, intrigued.
"I want the ability to get unlimited things from my previous world into the new world. No restrictions. No limits."
For a moment, God stayed silent, tapping his chin thoughtfully. Then he grimaced.
"Ehh... yeah, no. That's a little too broken, even for me," he said, waving his hand like brushing away smoke. "Unlimited access would just wreck the world's economy in two seconds flat. Boring for you, nightmare for me."
Kaito's eyes narrowed slightly. "Then?"
God grinned. "Alternative option: you get the ability to trade between your old world and your new world. Buy, sell, barter, whatever you want. No restrictions on what you can trade, but you'll need something to offer in return. Fair?"
Kaito considered it carefully.
Being able to just pull in anything for free would've been ideal. But trade... Trade was still massively powerful, especially if he played it smart.
"...Fine. I accept."
God snapped his fingers. "Nice choice. It'll keep things fun."
Kaito didn't waste a second. "Third wish."
"Oooh, here we go," God said, leaning back dramatically. "Give me your final boss move!"
Kaito's voice was calm, almost cold. "I want one hundred million soldiers. They must work under me alone."
For a second, God just stared at him.
Then he broke into uncontrollable laughter, slapping his throne so hard it echoed across the void. "Pfffft—! One hundred million?! Bro, what do you wanna do, start a war against the galaxy?!"
Kaito didn't move an inch. "I want absolute security."
God wiped a tear from his eye, still snickering. "Yeah, uh, not happening. The maximum I can allow is seven. And even that's pushing it."
Kaito's brow twitched slightly. "Seven?"
"Seven," God confirmed with a wink. "But — and this is important — you can customize them. Make them absolute monsters if you want."
Kaito stared at him for a long second.
"...Fine. Then make them immortal. Each one strong enough that even alone, they could take over an entire world."
God's grin widened like a kid handing over a Christmas present. "Now that's the spirit! Immortal super-soldiers, seven of 'em, strong enough to make kings cry. Deal."
The throne room shimmered as each wish was carved into reality.
God clapped his hands one final time, sending a soft shockwave through the white space. "Alright! Three wishes locked in! Now you're all set, buddy!"
Kaito nodded silently, feeling a strange weight settle onto his shoulders.
His lazy life plan had just gotten a massive upgrade.
