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

Chapter 1575 - Stomachache-Filled Founding Festival ③

Megiddo-san eventually bought a vase made by Nebula. The plates and cups aren’t suitable for her use in her normal form as the War King, so she put flowers in them and planned to display them in her room.

When I heard how she’s gonna use them, a complicated expression appeared on my face again…… but I think that can’t be helped.

[Even so, my sworn friend’s friendship network sure is broad. As expected, the shining stars must gather around the star that shines the brightest huh?]

[I wonder about that? Even so, we sure meet a lot of my acquaintances…… Hmmm, is that the sound of fireworks?]

[Yeah, the ceremony is about to start. By now, the central plaza should be filled with people and chaos is in full swing.]

[It’s practically the main event after all. Well, this area isn’t really that affected by that.]

The Central Plaza certainly may be crowded, but it doesn’t really matter much for this place that is far away from the Central Plaza. That aside, it’s almost lunchtime already, so I’d like to eat at a time like this when there are few customers around.

Given that, this might just be the right time to have lunch.

[Amel-san, since the ceremony has started, it seems like there will be fewer customers than before. Shall we go out for lunch now while we have the chance?]

[Agreed. However, how do we do that? Shall we meet at a later time or perhaps shall we temporarily seal the dark relics in the chasm……]

[Hmm, well, once we put away our stall, we can just go eat together. Let’s just put away our wares in the magic box, and put up a sign saying we’re on our lunch break.]

[Unnn, you’re right. I also want to eat together with my sworn friend…… Hrnn. In any case, with the decision settled, let us depart.] The sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.nᴇt

Since we aren’t really aiming to have as kuch sales as possible, we just decided to close our stall and head for a nearby shop to have lunch together.

With us going to a festival today, I’d like to eat something festive.

While Kaito and Amel had temporarily closed their stall and were on their way to have lunch, Kaori and Akane were on the Central Plaza.

[Uwahh, there really are lots of people around……]

[No, this is more than in the past years. Since all the Supreme Gods are present this time, there will likely be many people trying to force their way in just to catch a glimpse of them…… However, this is a situation where we should keep our distance.]

[Unnn. Even if we can’t speak, I came here hoping to at least catch a glimpse of Chris-san…… However, it seems impossible to get any closer to the Central Plaza than this.]

Rather than coming to see the ceremony, the two of them arrived at the Central Plaza casually intending for a light sightseeing, as Kaori wanted to catch a glimpse of Chris, whom she knows.

However, with the confirmed attendance of all the Supreme Gods, there were a tremendous number of spectators at the ceremony, making it impossible not only to catch a glimpse of Chris but even to get anywhere near the Central Plaza.

Seeing so many people…… so much so that it couldn’t be described by just wall of people anymore, Kaori and Akane gave up on heading to the Central Plaza and decided to turn back.

And at a somewhat more spacious place away from the crowd, wearing tired expressions on their faces, they exchanged idle chatter.

[……There are too many people.]

[Seriously, it really feels like a festival…… They’ve also set up a Wide-Area Teleportation Inhibition Barrier in the Imperial Capital, so I can’t use Teleportation Magic at all. Getting around all these people is quite inconvenient. Well, in any case, it seems impossible for us to see the ceremony.]

[You’re right. It’s unfortunate, but let’s give up.]

[……Unnn? Ohh, isn’t this Kaori and Akane? We meet again!]

[ [ War King-sama!? ] ]

As the two were exchanging such words, they heard a familiar loud voice, and when they hurriedly turned around, they saw Megiddo walking towards them.

Since Megiddo doesn’t use Recognition Inhibition or Information Concealment Magic, many people are aware of her Humanized-form, and with many people knowing that she is the War King, a commotion occurred in the surroundings.

However, Megiddo’s rough temperament…… rather, her personality, which is widely known for mercilessly killing anyone who interferes and displeases her, has made people cautious about approaching her or obstructing her path. As a result, the people around them quickly made way, avoiding any unnecessary interactions or disruptions.

In that situation, Kaori and Akane, who were left behind by that wave of people, became the center of attention. Both of them were sweating profusely, but Megiddo, who doesn’t pay much attention to such details, casually approached them and struck up a conversation.

[So, what were you two doing here?]

[Ah, errr, we were going to the Central Plaza to catch a glimpse of Chris-san, but there were too many people there……]

[Y- Yes, so we just turned around and are now taking a break.]

[Chris? What, you two are acquainted with Emperor Archlesia? Ahh, I see, you two were Hero actors…… I guess Archlesia was the country that summoned you two then?]

[Ah, yes. Me and Akane-san were summoned in Archlesia.]

Despite feeling somewhat intimidated by Megiddo’s imposing presence, Kaori and Akane were able to have a conversation to some extent, thanks to the prior information provided by Kaito that “Megiddo wasn’t in a particularly bad mood”.

After listening to what the two said, Megiddo thought for a moment before clapping her hands together.

[Alright! In that case, I’ll go bring you there!]

[ [ ……Yes? ] ]

[I was just on my way to see Lillywood and Magnawell. Right, with that decided, let’s go!]

[Hoeehhh? U- Umm, War King-sama!?]

[Why…… Why is this happening…… My stomach hurts…… I don’t wanna think what happens after this……]

Megiddo, who apparently thought she had a great idea, swiftly scooped up Akane and Kaori, their faces filled with despair, and placing them on her shoulders, Megiddo leaped into the air, avoiding the crowd as they kicked off into the sky.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai: [Come to think of it, this gorilla suddenly appeared in Symphonia Kingdom behind a pillar of flames, acting like she’s the only honored one throughout heaven and earth.]

? ? ? : [As expected of Demon Realm’s troublemaker, this is definitely the classic pattern of showing up right in the middle of the ceremony…… Furthermore, Kaito-san, who could have stopped Megiddo-san, doesn’t seem to have any intention of approaching the Central Plaza. Instead, he had closed up shop and gone to have lunch, seemingly unbothered by Megiddo-san’s presence in Archlesia Empire…… I’m afraid a chain of stomachaches is about to begin.]
