I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace
Chapter Summary
I’m pretty sure that Kuro has sent word to Funf-san, and we’ve agreed to meet in front of Kuro’s gate…… but I can’t see anyone who seemed like they’d be Funf-san. I feel bad to keep her waiting so long, so it’s time we……] [However, it seems like Funf-san hasn’t arrived yet huh. ] Hearing my words, Sieg-san tilted her head, really looking like she was wondering what I meant, but it seems like she realized something soon.
Chapter 884 - Portcullis' Giant Soldier ② After Alice gave a brief explanation and disappeared, I took a quick look around.
I’m pretty sure that Kuro has sent word to Funf-san, and we’ve agreed to meet in front of Kuro’s gate…… but I can’t see anyone who seemed like they’d be Funf-san.
[……It’s almost time for the appointment, isn’t it?
] [Yes.
I feel bad to keep her waiting so long, so it’s time we……] [However, it seems like Funf-san hasn’t arrived yet huh.
] [Eh?
] [Eh?
] Hearing my words, Sieg-san tilted her head, really looking like she was wondering what I meant, but it seems like she realized something soon.
[That’s right, isn’t it?
Kaito-san hasn’t met Funf-sama before.
Funf-sama has been here since a while ago.
She’s waiting for us to finish our conversation.
] [……Errr…… All I see is a gate and that humongous armor though.
] In the direction that Sieg-san pointed, all I could see was the gate of Kuro’s house…… and that humongous armor-like object in front of it.
Even so, that humongous armor really is quite intense.
It’s definitely over 20 meters, looking like a giant robot.
[Even among the Count-ranks, Funf-san is one of the most powerful ones, and being one of the Six Kings’ executives, she has a variety of nicknames…… but she was most famous for being the “Portcullis’ Giant Soldier”.
] [……Which means?
] [That giant armor over there is Funf-sama.
] ……I see, that giant armor wasn’t just there as decoration, but Funf-san huh…… Arehh?
But if that’s the case, I think that that giant armor was there when I arrived at Kuro’s home last time too…… and I think Kuro said Funf-san was outside when I came to visit…… Arehh?
As I was feeling a little confused, the huge armor that had been immobile until then started walking towards us, each of its steps making a loud sound.
W- What an amazing intensity.
But why did it start moving now…… Ahh, it’s because it’s time for our appointment huh.
Just like that, the giant armor moved to a stop just in front of us.
Immediately after, the 20-meter tall armor collapsed into pieces, turning into magic particles before falling to the ground.
Then, when the huge armor completely disappeared…… In its place stands a woman.
It was a woman so small in comparison to the armor she was wearing, having the average height for a woman, not even reaching 160cm.
A girl with short pink hair and dark brown eyes…… and a tight-fitting bodysuit that clearly shows off her excellent proportions…… Is she Funf-san?
[We have been expecting your arrival, Miyama Kaito-sama, Sieglinde-sama.
I’ve heard about you from Kuromu-sama.
Nice to meet you, I’m Funf, the gatekeeper of Kuromu-sama’s castle.
It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
] [Ah, y- yes.
I’m Miyama Kaito.
It’s also a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
] [I’m Sieglinde.
It’s an honor to meet you.
] With movement as refined as a knight’s, Funf-san bowed her head with her hand on her chest.
Seeing her greet me like that, I couldn’t help but straighten my posture and returned her greeting.
Thereupon, Funf-san stared at me for a moment…… and smiled.
[Well, that should be enough for the formal greetings, right?
I’ve heard from Kuromu-sama that it’s better if I talk to you in a relaxed manner, but is this tone of voice alright?
] [Ah, yes.
Of course.
] [Kaito and Sieglinde it is then.
I’m glad that I could meet you.
Ah, it’s alright if you also talk with me casually.
] I’m glad…… How should I say this…… Just from talking with her for a bit, I could tell that she was a kind person.
She also had this dependable aura around her…… wait, arehh?
The color of her hair…… “It changed from pink to blonde?
” [……Arehh?
Funf-san, your hair became blonde?
] [Unnn?
My hair…… Hmmm, could it be that it was pink-colored earlier?
] [Yes.
] [I see, ahaha.
I guess I had been rather nervous earlier huh.
] Saying that, Funf-san wryly smiled, but Sieg-san and I only exchanged glances and tilted our heads.
Thereupon, perhaps sensing our doubts, Funf-san explained with a bright smile on her lips.
[Have you two seen Megiddo-san’s hair change color?
] [We had.
] [I have the same constitution as Megiddo-san.
When I’m in battle, or rather, when my body is clad with a lot of magic power, my hair changes color to pink.
My hair had originally been blonde.
] [……I see.
] As she explains, Funf-san showed us her hair color actually changing from blonde to pink.
I don’t really understand stuff about constitutions, but indeed, when Megiddo-san wants to battle, or if he’s angry or excited, his mane would turn black.
It seems like her hair color changes depending on her mental situation and magic power.
[Incidentally, by changing my hair color like this……] [By changing it?
] [Other than color, it doesn’t change anything~~] [……Is that so?
] [Unnn, on the contrary, they would know that I’m in a battle stance.
Well, it’s not that big of a demerit though.
] ……She sure is very easy to talk to.
She basically had a cheerful and friendly atmosphere, and the tempo of conversation easily advanced.
I think comparing them in itself is rude but…… She’s several times easier to talk to than the Ten Demons.
