I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace
Chapter Summary
Fate-san, Shea-san and Heart-san had to report to the God Realm, or more specifically, to Chronois-san, and that’s why we parted ways at the Hydra Kingdom.

Chapter 282 - I was Able to Say "I"m Home" The 4th day of the Light month.
After being abruptly taken towards the Hydra Kingdom and staying there for nearly 5 days and 4 nights…..
we finally returned to the familiar mansion.
Fate-san, Shea-san and Heart-san had to report to the God Realm, or more specifically, to Chronois-san, and that’s why we parted ways at the Hydra Kingdom.
Fate-san insisted on taking me back to the mansion, but no matter how I look at it, she was just trying to escape because she had to report to Chronois-san, so I refused her and returned with Teleportation Magic.
After returning to the mansion, the first thing I did was to go to the office to report to Lilia-san and greet her, and when I went inside the room, there were Lilia-san, Lunamaria-san and Sieg-san…… the usual trio.
[Welcome back, Kaito-san…… How was the Hydra Kingdom?
] [Yes, I had lots of fun there.
Ahh, here, I brought some souvenirs.
] It seemed that Heart-san had contacted them, so Lilia-san knew that I wasn’t caught up in something important, and she greeted me with a gentle smile on her face.
As we lightly exchanged chit-chat while I was handing over the souvenirs I had brought, Lilia-san’s expression turned serious after a moment and with a grave tone, she spoke.
[……So, you also encountered King Hydra, right?
] [Eh?
No, I didn’t though?
] [……Eh?
] Why is she assuming that I’ve encountered the King of another country?
N- No, as expected, after all the things that had happened, I guess I can’t complain huh…… H- However, now that she mentioned it, I think that I really didn’t meet the King on this trip.
I’ve met Shea-san, a remarkable person of the God Realm, but not the Hydra King, someone who’s not a VIP human like the Hydra King…… Ahh, could it be…… that grandpa is actually the King?
[……Lilia-san, is His Majesty, the King of Hydra Kingdom an elderly man?
] [Eh?
No, she’s a petite woman of the Mermaid race.
But then, Mermaids are long-lived species, so her actual age is quite a bit older than her appearance……] [……So, I guess I really didn’t meet her then.
] Apparently, the King of Hydra Kingdom is a girl of the Mermaid race…… Unnn.
For once, I really don’t have a clue.
[R- Really?
] [Yes, I certainly saw some Mermaids often in the city…… but I didn’t talk with any of them, and I don’t think I’ve met any of them who feels like a King.
] [………………..
] When I honestly told her that I had no idea about it, Lilia-san’s eyes opened wide and she stiffened for some reason.
Then, she turned to me, looking as if she was thinking about something, then slowly moved her gaze to the side.
[……Luna!
] [Yes…… “His pulse rate is normal”.
] [……Sieg!
] [Hmmm.
He doesn’t have any fever.
] [Hey……] Along with Lilia-san’s words, Lunamaria-san checks my pulse and Sieg-san puts her hand on my forehead to check if I don’t have any fever.
After hearing their words, Lilia-san turned pale, and looking as if she was shuddering, she muttered.
[……No way, for that Kaito-san to not get to know anyone powerful when he walked out on his own?
T- That’s…… not possible!
] [My Lady, I agree with you…… I think it would be better if we commission the royal physician and have a look at him……] [B- Both of you, please calm down.
Even if he didn’t encounter powerful people there, you may just be exaggerating it.
It may just be that Kaito-san was fatigued after being suddenly sent to an unfamiliar place, and it might be best for us to let him get some rest first before seeing how things go.
] ……What the heck is with this situation?
Why the heck are they acting like it’s an anomaly that I haven’t met King Hydra?
Strange, no matter how I think about it, this is strange…… I’d like to spend an hour questioning what kind of person I am within Lilia-san and the others’ minds.
[……Kaito-san, how about you take some rest today?
You may have been gathering quite the fatigue…… I will also have something nourishing brought to your room so you can rest……] [No, no, wait, Lilia-san?
It’s not like I’m feeling unwell…… So, please don’t look so seriously worried about me……] [H- However……] Apparently, in Lilia-san and the others minds, the fact that I didn’t meet King Hydra means that I’m feeling unwell, especially Lilia-san, who was nervously speaking to me with a worried expression on her face.
……Moreover, they aren’t being sarcastic or were just doing this to tease me, they’re seriously worried that I’m feeling unwell!?
If they’re like this, I can’t complain about their strangeness…… W- What should I do, is there something that could derail their thoughts…… wait, that’s right!
[Ummm, Lilia-san.
I haven’t met King Hydra…….
but I met a High-ranking God, God of Disasters-sama, you know?
] [……Eh?
] [No, like I said, I became acquaintances with God of Disasters-sama.
] […………………] Yes, I certainly didn’t meet King Hydra this time, but I did get to know Shea-san, the No.
5 of the God Realm.
If I were asked if we get along well, I think that would be quite complicated…….
But we certainly became acquaintances.
When I told that to Lilia-san, she was silent for a while and then let out a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart.
[……T- Thank goodness…… It seems that Kaito-san is the same as usual.
] [………………] [Yes, he certainly is Miyama-sama, I thought that we were talking with a fake in disguise.
] [Oi, stop right there, you useless maid……] [Errr, anyway, I’m glad to hear that Kaito-san seems to be doing well.
Also, Luna, you’re being rude to Kaito-san, you know?
] [……Thank you for that.
Sieg-san.
] The only person on my side is Sieg-san.
Unnn, Sieg-san really has been the only one who has been consistently concerned about my health all along, and being around the tremendously different atmosphere around her feels refreshing.
[Well~~ Seriously, I’m glad that Miyama-sama is as usual.
This Lunamaria is truly happy for you.
I thought you had some sort of disease…… Whoa there, in a way, you can say that the usual you was the one with a disease, right?
My Lady?
] [N- No, I wouldn’t go that far……] [Good gracious, as expected of Miyama-sama!
Demons, Gods, Humans, the ability to seduce all kinds of beings without betraying everyone’s expectations is quite marvelous.
You’re unlike a normal popular guy.
I wonder where you’ll get the next one?
I guess it’s about time you snag someone from another world?
] […………………] This sh*tty maid!
She has a happy expression on her face, as if she’s a fish in the waters!
Would it be alright if I punch her at least once?
Well, even if I tried punching her, she would probably just evade it huh…… Glaring at Lunamaria-san, who had a mocking smile on her face, I was about to complain but…… Before I could do that, a sharp fist slammed towards Lunamaria-san’s stomach.
[Gafuu!?
] [Cut that out, Luna…… I won’t allow you to tease Kaito-san any further.
] [S- Sieg-san!
] Quickly hammering down the devil towards the ground, Sieg-san is definitely an angel.
She’s making me feel in love all over again.
[N- No, it’s not like I’m teasing Miyama-sama, I’m just being a little mischievous…… Ah, no, that’s a lie!
My apologies!
I apologized, I have already apologized, so please stop holding your sword!?
] [……Lili, can I borrow Luna for a bit?
I’m just going to scold her for a bit.
] [Yes, you don’t have to scold her for a bit, please thoroughly scold her.
] [My Lady!?
] Seeing Lunamaria-san, who still hasn’t learned her lesson and was about to mess around again, Sieg-san seriously got angry at her…… And after asking Lilia-san’s permission, she grabbed Lunamaria-san by the scruff of her neck and dragged her away.
I wonder why…… I felt like Lunamaria-san looked like a cattle that was about to be sent to the butcher for a moment…… Well, Lunamaria-san had it coming.
[……Kaito-san, I’m sorry.
I also lost my composure.
] [Ah, no, I certainly did put you in lots of worries before……] [Fufu, but I agree with Sieg.
Most of all, I’m glad to see Kaito-san come back healthy and safe…… Once again, welcome home, Kaito-san.
] [Yes.
I’m home.
] After apologizing for what she just said, with a kind smile on her face, Lilia-san said she was happy to see me return.
Her smile is really warm and inexplicably reassuring me…… And seeing that smile, I somehow felt comfortable around her.
Dear Mom, Dad———— There was quite the commotion when I returned, but I still think it’s nice to be back here.
When Lilia-san told me “Welcome home” with a gentle smile, it felt really natural of me———— that I was able to say “I’m home”.
