I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace
Chapter Summary
] It seems that Mitsunaga-kun has heard a lot of rumors about me through Princess Cattleya, and it seems that he really thinks that I’m an amazing person. I shouldn’t have left my cushion if this was going to happen……] [……Huhh……] I was feeling dismayed when Fate-san started acting spoiled, but thinking about it, Fate-san usually travels on a flying cushion and I rarely see her walking. ] [Unnn, Kai-chan really is fantastic~~ I love you so much~~ How about I give you a kiss in return?
Chapter 278 - I'm Glad She Liked It It was early in the morning of my fourth day in the Hydra Kingdom.
I had come to see Mitsunaga-kun off in front of the city gate.
[Miyama-san, thank you for coming to see me off.
I’m sorry, we end up not being able to talk that much.
] [No, no, it can’t be helped.
You’re busy with your playing a Hero…… Speaking of which, I saw your speech yesterday and it was very impressive.
] [Thank you.
I’m still not as good as Miyama-san, but I’ll do my best to improve, one step after another.
] That’s strange…… It sounded like Mitsunaga-kun just said something strange like him being no match for me, you know?
No, I’m sure that I just heard wrong.
It’s not like Mitsunaga-kun would need to try being my equal or anything like that.
[……J- Just in case I heard right, let me ask Mitsunaga-kun something…….
You didn’t just say that you’re not as good as me, right?
] [Eh?
Ah, yes.
After all, Miyama-san has been in contact with the Six Kings.
You even have the Phantasmal King-sama under your control, and so that should mean that you already have one of the most powerful people in the world under your control.
] [……N- No, they aren’t that big of a deal…… Especially the Phantasmal King.
] [……Eh?
] It seems that Mitsunaga-kun has heard a lot of rumors about me through Princess Cattleya, and it seems that he really thinks that I’m an amazing person.
However, that’s a big misunderstanding.
It’s the people around me that are amazing, not me.
I’m just one of the ordinary people you can find anywhere…… ordinary…… Was it no-good to describe myself as ordinary?
I feel like describing myself like that is slowly getting forced…… As I was chatting with Mitsunaga-kun for a while, Princess Cattleya, who had finished their preparations for departure, approached us.
[Miyama-sama, thank you so much for your help in this matter.
If it weren’t for Miyama-sama’s presence, it would have been quite unfavorable to us.
] [Ah, no, the only one who helped you was Phantasmal King so……] [Yes, please tell Phantasmal King-sama that I was truly grateful to her as well.
] [I understand.
] I didn’t know about it, but it seems that when the one with the role of Hero gets attacked, it can be a big problem.
But in the previous incident, Alice moved quickly, and since everyone involved, including the mastermind, was quickly apprehended, it really helped Princess Cattleya’s position.
[Well then, Miyama-sama.
We’ll take our leave now.
I sincerely hope that we can meet again.
] [Me too, please be safe on your journey.
] [……I think there would be more troubles on Miyama-sama’s side though, so please do your best.
] [Unnn.
Mitsunaga-kun too, do your best in acting as Hero.
] [Yes!
So long!
] With their goodbyes, the carriage that was on standby started moving.
As Mitsunaga-kun greatly waves his hand and Princess Cattleya gives a small bow, I see them off.
After Mitsunaga-kun’s group disappeared from sight, I walked towards the city and spoke to Alice since she should be next to me.
[Alice, Princess Cattleya said thank you.
] [I’m not interested in that at all~~ I wouldn’t have helped them if it weren’t for Kaito-san.
] [Still, it’s a fact that you helped them…… That’s why, I’ll say it again for me this time, thank you.
] [Uuuuu…… Y- You’re welcome……] When I thanked her as well, Alice sounded a little embarrassed when she responded to me before she disappeared.
Now then, after reaching my goal of seeing Mitsunaga-kun and his group off, it’s time for my promised date with Fate-san.
As I think about the places we should go to, I meet up with Fate-san in front of the inn.
[Kai-chaaaan~~ I’ll be in your care today~~] [Yes.
I’ll also be in your care today…… Then, how about we go?
] [Alrighty!
Then, let’s go!
] Fate-san didn’t seem to be dressed any differently than usual, but she seemed to be in a very good mood.
As she raised her hand with a big smile on her face, she started walking with me towards the city.
One step, two steps, after walking for three steps…… Fate-san suddenly stopped in her tracks.
[……I’m going to die.
] [Isn’t that too fast!?
] You have only taken three steps, you know!?
And why the heck did you start slacking off on the ground!?
Couldn’t you try a little harder!?
When I dumbfoundedly looked at Fate-san, whose tension clearly plummeted down, she glanced at me and spoke.
[Kai-chan, I have something I’d like to discuss with you…… but how about…… we just go make out in a room, or perhaps, become one?
] [Rejected!
] [Ueeeehhhh…….
I- I’m that, you know.
I steadily lose a lot of my vitality under the sun.
] [It’s alright.
You’re not a vampire, you’re a god.
] As I shuddered, remembering how our bodies are entwined with each other yesterday, I guess Fate-san was still the same as usual.
A refreshingly straightforward request…… It immediately gave me a headache.
Letting out a big sigh, Fate-san looks as if she was thinking for a little bit before she looked at me with her hands outstretched.
[Well then, in that case!
Kai-chan, piggyback~~] [That’s rejected.
I reject it.
] [Ueeeehhhh……] Seeing Fate-san with her arms outstretched like that was very cute, but as expected, I decided to reject her because I think going on a date while your partner was in your back is kinda difficult.
[Uuuuuu, in that case, I can’t walk~~ I’m going to die here~~] [……How lazy can you be……] [Ahh~~ What a blunder.
I shouldn’t have left my cushion if this was going to happen……] [……Huhh……] I was feeling dismayed when Fate-san started acting spoiled, but thinking about it, Fate-san usually travels on a flying cushion and I rarely see her walking.
Even when we were going towards this city, she was also riding on my back…… and it seems that walking feels troublesome for her.
Letting out a big sigh again, I feel like our date won’t go on like this, so although it changes the order of my plans, I decided to give her the cushion I prepared for her as a present.
[……It can’t be helped.
I was actually going to give it to you at the end of our date but……] [Unnn?
What is it?
What is it?
] [Here, the present I have prepared for Fate-san.
] [O- Ooohhhhh!!!
] As I said that, I took out from the magic box the cushion that makes people useless made by Alice…… In short, it’s a squishy bean bag.
When Fate-san sees this, her eyes widened and she looked at me with sparkling eyes.
[I- It’s a cushion!
A cushion Kai-chan prepared just for me……] [I didn’t know what Fate-san liked, so this is what I thought.
] [I- I’m so happy——– Haahh!?
Whoa there…… I’ll just say this now, Kai-chan.
Even if it’s Kai-chan’s present for me, I’m still going to be very picky with my cushions, you know?
If you think that you can satisfy me with just some half-heartedly made cushion, you’re mistaken!
] She was about to say she was happy for a moment, but it seems like she has some kind of weird pride regarding cushions, as Fate-san regained her attention and declared that with a serious expression on her face.
The way she looks like that is so cute that I can’t help but chuckle.
[I’m sure it’s okay…… Because this is the cushion famous in our world for making people useless.
] [What’s with that really fantastic item!?
A cushion that makes people useless!?
It could make people useless!?
Isn’t this the greatest!?
] [……No, your reaction to it was the weird one.
] Why the heck do you look so happy after you heard that it turns people useless…… Also, please be relieved.
You’re already a useless Goddess from the moment I met you.
As for that assessment, that hasn’t improved at all.
Anyway, Fate-san seemed to be interested in this cushion and received it from me…… Thereupon, her eyes widened.
[W- What is this~~!?
T- This cushion is…… H- How squishy.
It’s as if this cushion is sucking in my finger with my touch!
] [It was filled with lots of little beads in it, making it very squishy.
] [Fuuoooohhhh!
This is amazing, Kai-chan!
This is amazing…… P- Poke, poke……] As expected of the cushion that makes people useless.
It was frighteningly effective on the useless Goddess, as Fate-san happily touched the cushion around, and after a bit of time, she deployed what seems to be State Preservation Magic on it before jumping on it.
[Aaaaahhhhh~~ Amazing.
Dish is amashiiinngg…… Fuaaahhhh…… I’ll go live here from now on……] [………………] It seems that Fate-san and the cushion have quite the affinity with each other, as she was so charmed by the cushion that her body already looks like melted cheese…… As I looked at Fate-san while she lazily lay down on the cushion, the cushion floated and lined up next to me.
[Kai-chan…… this is the best…… Thank yooouuuu~~] [I’m glad you liked it.
] [Unnn, Kai-chan really is fantastic~~ I love you so much~~ How about I give you a kiss in return?
] [No, thank you.
] [Do you really have to be that quick in refusing me!?
] Somehow, isn’t she more languid than before?
W- Well, I guess that’s how much she liked it but…….
Well, whatever.
Dear Mom, Dad———- My date with Fate-san started, but Fate-san is still the same as ever.
I ended up having to change the order and give my present to her first, but for the time being——– I’m glad that she liked my present.
