I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace
Chapter Summary
After receiving a present from Isis-san, it seemed like the next live performance was about to begin. I heard the sounds of traditional Japanese instruments, which I thought was quite unusual, so I looked toward the stage…… and there stood Blossom-san along with several members of the World King camp.

After receiving a present from Isis-san, it seemed like the next live performance was about to begin.
I heard the sounds of traditional Japanese instruments, which I thought was quite unusual, so I looked toward the stage…… and there stood Blossom-san along with several members of the World King camp.
I recognized some of them from the Harmonic Symphony tea party and such, so it was clear they were also guests at the party.
As for Blossom-san, she had what you might call a traditional Japanese instrument band…… a band made up of Japanese instruments?
I mean, it was kind of fitting, but something about it felt just a little bit off.
There was someone holding a guitar that seemed like a koto, a massive taiko drum that you'd only ever see at festivals, and even someone with a shamisen the size of a contrabass…… They looked like traditional Japanese instruments, but something about them was subtly wrong, very much in line with Blossom-san's vibe.
That said, surprisingly enough, it seemed well thought out.
The performance, centered around the deep beat of the taiko drum, was stylish and carried a cool, Japanese flair.
Blossom-san’s singing matched it perfectly, truly impressive.
This was the first time I’d seen Blossom-san actually perform, since she served as a judge for the SINGING battle during Harmonic Symphony.
And yet, she sang beautifully, on par with the other Seven Princesses, with a voice that was kind of enka-like, and yet not quite.
It was captivating.
To Japanese ears, there might’ve been a slight sense of dissonance, but her singing was so good it made up for everything.
In the end, I found myself thoroughly enjoying the performance.
After it ended, I gave a light round of applause.
While they started cleaning up and preparing for the next act, I spun the prize wheel to receive a gift.
Oh, following Isis-san, now it was Dr.
Vier.
It was like my lovers were coming in a row.
A moment later, called over by Ein-san, Dr.
Vier approached with a cheerful smile.
[Miyama-kun!
Happy birthday~~!
][Thank you very much.
Dr.
Vier, did you play the game?
][I did, and I even entered the tournament…… but, well, I nearly fell for a gimmick right at the start, and when I dodged it…… I ended up falling into a hole!
][Ahaha, that’s so like you, Dr.
Vier…… But I get it, some of those gimmicks are really hard to read on your first try.
][It was pretty tough.
Anyway, here’s your present!
]Dr.
Vier, who had an established reputation for being a bit of a klutz, sounded like she hadn’t lost because of the actual battle, but rather because she got tripped up by a gimmick.
I could just picture the scene.
She let out a wry smile as she pulled out a box out of nowhere.
Part of the box was semi-transparent, letting me see inside, it was filled with colorful, stylish, candle-like items.
[Thank you…… These are…… aroma candles?
][Bingo.
It’s a set of handmade aroma candles, made by yours truly.
][Eh?
You made these, Dr.
Vier?
][Unn.
You know I like herbs, right?
A lot of aroma candles use herbs, so I figured I’d try making them.
I put in extra effort for this present to make them pretty, but I usually make simpler ones for myself.
][Hehh~~ I’ve never really used aroma candles before, so I’m looking forward to it.
]I had a general idea of how to use them, but they always seemed a bit too stylish for me to actually try.
I guess herb-related things just give off that chic vibe.
[I’m glad you like them.
Oh, and there’s one more thing, this!
][One more?
][Unn.
It’s also an aroma candle, but this one’s a bit special.
]What she handed me next was a small box about the size of a single candle.
This one was opaque, and there was a tiny envelope stuck to the top.
[The envelope has a massage ticket inside.
If you let me know in advance when you’re free, I’ll prepare a special massage for you.
That candle is meant to be used then.
][Ah, I see, so it’s got a relaxing effect huh?
][Fufufu……]I thought the idea was to enhance the massage’s relaxing effect by lighting the candle during the session…… but then Dr.
Vier gave me a sultry smile, leaned in close to my ear, and whispered in a sweet, seductive voice.
[……That aroma candle, I've already confirmed it shares the same name as the one in your world…… an aroma that makes use of ylang-ylang.
It’s a scent that people either love or hate, kind of syrupy and sweet…… They call it the scent of the night.
][Eh?
T- The scent of the night?
][Unn.
That’s why the special massage is scheduled at night.
So be sure to come prepared to stay the night when you use it.
I think I’ll be able to soothe you plenty, buuuuut you might end up a little sleep-deprived…… so keep the next day free too, okay?
]W- What an incredibly seductive voice…… A healthy guy like me is easily swayed by that kind of thing, and now my entire consciousness was fixated on the gift I’d just received.
[Fufu, you can use it whenever you like.
If you like it, I’ll make more for you.
]After saying that, Dr.
Vier pressed a gentle kiss to my earlobe, pulled away, and gave me a cheerful, delighted smile.
Unnn.
How should I say this…… when it comes to this kind of thing, Dr.
Vier might just be the strongest among all my girlfriends…… I honestly don’t think I stand a chance against her.
Serious-senpai : [……Guh…… Aaah…… Uwaaaah…… Ngh…… Hiih……]?
?
?
: [Uh, isn’t she kinda groaning a lot for someone who’s asleep?
]Makina : [No, no, she’s not groaning in pain, she’s enjoying herself.
]?
?
?
: [Unn?
]Makina : [I thought it was pitiful that she couldn’t see my beloved child while she was asleep, so I fixed it so "she could see my beloved child's situation even in her dreams"!
Unn, unn, I’m so kind, aren’t I~~?
]?
?
?
: [I thought things were about to get serious since Serious-senpai fell asleep, but you went and sealed off her last escape route instead…… I’m honestly impressed.
]Serious-senpai : [……No…… No way…… This…… This can’t be real…… How…… How could this be allowed……]
