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

Chapter 1732: Nighttime Founding Festival with Shallow Vernal ②

And now, even though I had come to another world, I never thought I would see Mt Fuji again for some reason…… Perhaps because I was seeing it without a medium like TV or photographs, Mt Fuji seemed to be shining…… No, I mean…… it seriously is shining, isn’t it? That Mt Fuji, I mean…… Being able to see the entire view implies that it should be in a place quite a distance away from here, but it’s clearly unnatural to see it so distinctly when it’s completely nighttime.

[……Oya?]

[Unnn? What’s the matter?]

Thereupon, I saw Shiro-san tilting her head beside me. The reason for her uttering that out…… doesn’t seem like because she also found Mt Fuji shining as strange. That mountain is clearly designed to be visible even at night, so no matter how I think about it, it must have been requested by Shiro-san.

[It seems Kuro is here. She’s with Earth God right now…… Fumu. I see she made that Mt Fuji invisible to everyone but us.]

[Well, that’s a very important thing.]

That follow-up is very important. After all, if Mt Fuji suddenly appears, shining around in this night, Hydra Kingdom would be in chaos. No, judging by Shiro-san’s tone, it seems like Kuro came later, so it’s possible that a few had seen the mountain, but considering Laguna-san and Chronois-san, I think making it not visible at this moment may have been a counter-measure…… or rather, an easy way to gloss things over.

And as I had expected, it seemed like it really was Eden-san who prepared the Mt Fuji. With Eden-san cooperating with Shiro-san in this kind of thing, did they have some kind of contract or something?

[Kaito-san, Mt Fuji can be seen from the onsen, so let’s go inside the inn.]

[Ah, you’re right. Even so, this is a big inn…… onsen ryokan, isn’t it? It has quite the Japanese design that it wouldn’t be surprising even if it were in an onsen district.]

The building wasn’t a somewhat out-of-place Japanese-style building, like Blossom-san’s house for example, but had the atmosphere of a well-established onsen ryokan.

I guess that was as to be expected of Eden-san huh, it was a flawless job…… Well, that’s setting aside how it’s too huge for the two of us to use……

After entering, Shiro-san led us to our room, which was a purely Japanese-style room with tatami mats and a large window from which we could see Mt Fuji.

[Ohhh, amazing. It’s a pretty nice room. It’s got a nice view too……]

With legless chairs also provided, it really does feel like we’re on an onsen trip. They even have Japanese tea and such, this is great…… I really like this place’s atmosphere.

[Shiro-san, why don’t we have some tea and take some rest before going into the onsen? We did walk around quite a bit.]

[Yes. Well then, I will create……]

[Ahh, they already have a whole set of tools provided here, so you don’t have to create anything, I’ll brew it for us.]

[Fumu…… Then, please.]

They even got stuff like an electric kettle here, so brewing it would be easy…… Unnn? Why is there an electric kettle here? Where the heck is this thing going to get its electricity…… Well, let’s not think too much about it. If Eden-san had prepared this, I suppose she had also handled that.

Just as Kaito and Shallow Vernal arrived at the onsen inn, on the foot of the distant Mt Fuji, Kuromueina was talking to Makina with an exasperated expression on her face.

[Haahhh, geez…… If such a big mountain suddenly appears, it’s going to cause a big commotion. You need to keep in mind stuff like preventing people from approaching the vicinity, so at least cast something like Recognition Inhibition……]

[And why exactly do I need to be considerate of these lumps of flesh?]

[……I’m really glad I came here.]

[It’s not like it matters, this timeline is just another one of the parallel worlds anyway. No matter what happens here wouldn’t affect the original timeline in any way, so why bother?]

[It’s not about that….. Good grief, for the time being, I’ll inform Laguna-chan and the others, so don’t do anything weird, okay?]

[Well, that’s just rude. Have I ever done anything strange in this world?]

[Did you think I would say this if you haven’t!?]

After letting out another exasperated sigh, Kuromueina headed back to the royal castle to inform them what was going on. At any rate, as usual, Makina’s thoughts were headache-inducing, making Kuromueina even worried about taking her eyes off her even for a moment.

[……Ah~~ Kuro-san. It’s alright. I’ll take care of this idiot for now.]

[Unnn. I’ll leave her to you, Shalltear. I’m going to help with the clean-up at the royal castle for the time being.]

[That’s strange. No matter how I look at it, I’m clearly the victim here———- Wait, stop! Ouch! Hey, wait! Alice!? Why are you pulling my ear!?]

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Kuro and Alice had come, so they now have a good lineup against Makina…… Unnn. For Makina, that is…… The only issue now might be that there’s that someone who, despite having an expressionless face, gets overly excited and can’t contain her enthusiasm.]
