I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 1636: Hydra Kingdom Founding Festival ①

[……Ohh, it’s so crowded. The atmosphere of the festival here is more bustling than that of Symphonia’s or Archlesia’s.]

[Hydra is very lively with its citizens, with many of them being cultural adventurers, taking the initiative to open shops or try new things on occasions like this. And so, there are quite a few small individual vendors, making the festival diverse in terms of variety.]

[Heehhh…… Speaking of which, there are various subsidies and support systems in place, making this an environment where individuals can easily start their own business, right?]

[Yes, something like that. Though I say that, it’s worth noting that some areas are divided based on location. This area is a free zone, but there are sections with high stall fees where corporations or groups with significant financial resources tend to set up their stalls, rather than individuals. Well, as it’s still business, high foot traffic areas are popular to such corporations or groups, which can make it challenging for one to secure such a sport for setting up a stall.]

[I see……]

I can feel the vibrancy of the country as a whole, and the atmosphere in the area we are in is somewhat enjoyable…… but more than that, it’s reassuring to have Alice with me here.

In any case, Alice is like a walking dictionary, so even if there’s something I don’t know, it’s great that she’s here to inform me about it. I’ve never been to Hydra Kingdom that much, and I don’t know the area very well, but having her with me means I can be relieved on this matter.

[Well, it’s a relief when Alice is around. I can enjoy myself more comfortably. There are various food stalls here, so I think I’ll fill my stomach a little bit.]

[Sounds like a great idea. I agree…… Eh? An all-you-can-eat on Kaito-san’s tab? As expected of Kaito-san! You’re quite manly! Thanks for the treat!!!]

[I didn’t say anything like that———— Oi, don’t bring out my wallet as if it’s yours!!!]

[———-Ouch!?]

Even though I hadn’t said anything like that, Alice started talking about all-you-can-eat as she pleased, and seeing her holding my wallet before I knew it, I dropped my knuckle on Alice’s head.

No, well, while I was prepared to treat Alice to some extent when hanging out with her, I don’t know what would happen if I just let this idiot eat as much as she likes, so it’s important to strike a balance in that regard.

[……Well, I really would treat you to some extent, but you should really think about moderation.]

[Oh my, the technique of dropping me down only to gently lift me up…… Kyaaa~~ Kaito-san, you’re so dreamy~~]

[Errr, where’s my Piko Piko Hammer……]

[Even though I was praising you!?]

[Nah, that sounds more like you’re making fun of me……]

Even though her tone of voice and facial expression are mainly that of her goofball mode…… Her excitement seemed to be quite high and she’s in high spirits. Alice already seemed to be enjoying herself, and I feel happy about that.

Well, I won’t actually say that to her though. She might either get even more annoying and get carried away or turn into a blushing mess……

[Even so, there’s that, isn’t it? Kaito-san still got one more day, right? Good gracious, as expected of a World Creator, she sure came up with some strange ideas.]

[No, seriously…… I mean, I was too surprised…… but it’s not without advantages.]

[Well, that it does. For example, if you use that method…… Kaito-san may do it for several weeks, but the event happens only once for me, so I won’t have to scramble with your other lovers, which is advantageous for me. It would be rough for Kaito-san though.

[……You said it. Well, when it comes to events like the Founding Festival, there’s also the advantage of being able to see and explore various places that I hadn’t visited with Alice today.]

Shiro-san’s SUPER WIN system was born out of a God’s way of thinking. I lightly explained it to Alice this time, but I haven’t explained it to my other lovers yet.

No, this is also like a trial period for me, so I also feel that it’s good to experience what it’s like once. Otherwise, there’s a possibility that it won’t end with just experiencing this Founding Festival twice……

[Well, let’s just leave the future to the future us. For now, let’s just take it easy and have fun.]

[Guess you’re right. Nothing would happen even if I worry about it now, so let’s just have fun…… Give me back my wallet.]

[But Kaito-san, I can hear it! Your wallet, it whispers to me…… “I wanna treat Alice-cha———– Ouch!?]

Even as I dropped another knock on Alice’s head for joking around again, one way or another, I couldn’t help smiling. Hmmm, as expected, when I’m together with Alice, I really feel like I could enjoy the festival properly……

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……It’s date time huh…… Alright. Since ??? isn’t around, this is the time……]

Makina : [——-Where it’s just the two of us, right!?]

Serious-senpai : [? ? ? , come back quickly!!!]
