I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)-Chapter 2221: Miyama Kaito’s Birthday Celebration Party ㉓
While occasionally watching the game tournament and receiving gifts, I was starting to wonder if the second tournament was about to wrap up and I'm gonna fight again.
Incidentally, as I pulled out "EX1" just now, I feel like I’ve been pulling EX ones pretty often.
[By the way, Canalis-san. The numbers attached to these EXs, are they in the order I drew them in the lottery?]
[Ah no, the numbers are just based on the order the gifts arrived. For example, EX5 is the World Creator Kaito-sama pulled second, but she really struggled with what to give you for your birthday, so her present ended up arriving last. Tahaa~~ sorry for the arbitrary numbering.]
[I see. Still, the fact they went out of their way to send gifts from other worlds is really appreci…… unn?]
While chatting casually with Canalis-san, who delivered the gift, I looked toward the venue and…… well, I caught sight of something that looked like hell on earth.
Shiro-san and Eden-san were quietly glaring at each other. I didn’t know why they were both there, but Lilia-san, Eris-san, and Kaori-san were nearby with pale, worried expressions.
Eris-san looked especially bad. Eden-san was positioned like she was protecting her child, Kaori-san, while Lilia-san stood close to Shiro-san…… Eris-san was, for some reason, standing right between the two of them.
Being higher beings, I remember hearing that Shiro-san and Eden-san’s magic power gives off a strong, overwhelming pressure. I’m sure they can suppress it to some degree, but given the tense atmosphere, it might be more accurate to say they were exerting pressure against each other.
Eden-san probably wouldn’t intimidate her own child, Kaori-san, and Lilia-san is strong, on the level of a Count-rank…… but in that situation, Eris-san being caught in the middle of that silent pressure exchange between Shiro-san and Eden-san…… she looked like she could faint at any moment. Honestly, it was impressive that she was still holding on.
Fortunately, the disturbance hadn’t spread to the surrounding area. It was contained to just that one corner, so if we could deal with it now, it probably wouldn’t turn into a bigger issue.
[……Canalis-san, sorry. Could you take me over there?]
[Yes, yes, leave it to this transport-convenient God.]
I could’ve asked Ein-san to do it, but I wasn’t sure if she’d be able to get close to where Shiro-san and Eden-san were glaring at each other. So I went with Canalis-san, who I was sure could get me there, and stood up from my chair.
The moment I did, I appeared right between Shiro-san and Eden-san.
[……Please calm down, Shiro-san, Eden-san…… Well, I don’t know what happened, but let’s not fight.]
[K- Kaito-sama……]
I happened to be close to Eris-san, so I saw her expression…… she looked as if a savior had just descended. Unn, I totally got what she feels. It must’ve been seriously terrifying, so I was really glad I noticed in time.
[Unn? We weren't fighting or anything like that though……]
[Indeed. I understood it to be more of a negotiation.]
[Even if you two see it that way, when Shiro-san and Eden-san glare at each other, the people around you can’t take it, so please stop that. If you really want to negotiate something, do it somewhere else.]
From their reactions, I could more or less figure out what was going on. It was probably like that time at the housewarming party. Back then too, Eden-san was demanding something, and Shiro-san refused. They were trying to find common ground through negotiation because of a difference in opinion, but from the outside, it felt like the world was on the brink of collapse.
This was probably the same sort of thing…… After hearing what I said, Shiro-san and Eden-san shifted their gaze toward Lilia-san, Eris-san, and Kaori-san.
[……Hm. True…… I didn’t intend to intimidate, but I may have lacked some consideration.]
[Indeed. I seem to have gotten too worked up because it concerned my child.]
Neither of them meant any harm. They just noticed, after seeing how Lilia-san and the others were reacting, that they had been unintentionally exerting pressure on those around them, and they both acknowledged their fault.
How should I say this…… Even with things like this, I couldn't help but feel that Shiro-san and the others have grown a lot.
[I had been acting thoughtlessly just now. I apologize.]
[And I too apologize, for creating such a tense atmosphere during my beloved child’s birthday celebration.]
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
[ [ [ ! ? ! ? ] ] ]
Be that as it may, Shiro-san and Eden-san bowing their heads would also be quite the incident for the three of them…… so if possible, I kind of wish they'd have some consideration for that too……
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [The way he swooped in to gallantly save the heroines, as to be expected of the Flag King, I'm impressed…… but in the end, he just had to land that final blow that felt like it obliterated their stomachs. So this is a Stomachache Specialist huh……]
