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

Chapter 1578 - Stomachache-Filled Founding Festival ⑥

The sudden intrusion of Megiddo, along with the unexpected participation of past Hero actors, had caused a commotion in the VIP seats. Amidst the chaos though, Lilia had breathed a sigh of relief, gently brushing her chest.

Of course, Lilia was also surprised by Megiddo’s intrusion, and she could painfully understand the anguish Chris, Lillywood, and the others are feeling. But in this situation, the central figures at the moment are the Six Kings and Emperor Chris, and Lilia, who is merely a noble from another country, isn’t related to the topic at all.

At least, she was relieved that she didn’t have to endure the feeling of her stomach churning, or so she was thinking but……

[Ohh, isn’t this Lilia!? You also came too!!!]

[Whooehh!?]

Lilia’s relief, however, crumbled like a house of cards when Megiddo, who had spotted her, approached her in a friendly manner and started speaking to her.

There shouldn’t have been much interaction between Lilia and Megiddo, so she was perplexed as to why Megiddo was calling out to her in such a friendly manner…… But in the first place, Megiddo has a penchant for formidable individuals, regardless of gender. She highly values Lilia, who was born with an unparalleled talent among the Humans and gained power equivalent to that of a Count-rank in just over 20 years. Having witnessed Lilia’s battle under the effect of the Critical Point of Fate during the War in the God Realm, Megiddo is convinced that she will eventually become a powerful individual rivaling the Six Kings.

Thus, it’s only natural for Megiddo to be fond of such a talented and powerful individual.

[It’s been a while, you’re even stronger than when I last saw you. It’s amazing how fast you’ve grown.]

[Ah, Aeehh? Y- Yes. T- Thank you very much!]

[If you weren’t a noble from Symphonia, I would have invited you to be one of my subordinates but…… how about it? Why don’t you quit being a noble and join my camp? I’ll even arrange it so that you become one of my Executives, you know?]

[Ah, n- no, I’m thankful for your praise but…… I’m already content with my current position……]

[That so? That’s a shame then. Let me know if you change your mind. If it’s you, you’re more than welcome!] Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NovelEnglish.net

It would have been fine if this were an exclusively private conversation. However, in the current setting, there are attendees from various countries and many people watching. If such a conversation were to take place under such circumstances…… It is inevitable that the Head of the Albert Duchy would be recognized as “having earned high praise from the War King and established a friendly relationship, to the extent of being invited to join their Executives”.

In addition, Lilia had already become quite famous, attracting numerous nobles who wanted to establish connections with her. This resulted in busy days for her. Just when she thought things had finally settled down recently and she would have some free time…… This happened.

With a strained smile twitching on her face, imagining the multitude of letters that would likely arrive after this founding festival, Lilia suppressed the pain in her stomach.

I eat yakisoba I bought at Alice’s store with Amel, sitting on a wooden bench that Alice has prepared for us. It’s amusing that Alice cheekily brought her own portion and is sitting along with us.

[Ah, it’s delicious! I like its strong flavors! So this is the flavor of my sworn friend’s world!]

[In the country in the world I lived in, this dish was quite popular. It was quite a staple at festivals like this.]

[I see~~ It’s the first time I’ve tasted something like this so I think it’s interesting! It’s really interesting knowing how different our world is from yo———- Hrnn!? F- Fufu, experiencing an unknown world always makes my heart leap. It feels similar to the sensation of opening a door leading further into the depths.]

It seems that when Amel-san gets excited, she basically forgets the character she’s projecting. Just like this time, she liked the taste of yakisoba, which caused her chuuni speech to be broken.

Seeing her looking so embarrassed that her cheeks blushed a bit while she ate her yakisoba, I couldn’t help smiling.

As I was thinking that, I saw Alice suddenly having an indescribable expression on her face.

[……Alice?]

[Why does that person always end up in a troublesome situation without fail in these types of situations……]

[Unnn?]

[Ahhh, no, it’s nothing. That aside, we’ve got some karashi mayonnaise here, you want some?]

[Ahh, that sounds great.]

(T/N: karashi mayonnaise is basically a combination of mustard and mayo)

Karashi mayonnaise is very tasty and changes the taste of the yakisoba completely. However, I’m slightly concerned about what Alice muttered just now.

When it comes to troublesome situations, the first person that comes to my mind is Lilia-san, who often draws troublesome matters towards her…… but Lilia-san should be attending the ceremony right now, and I can’t imagine any troublesome matters happening at the ceremony.

Even if trouble occurs in the ceremony, Lilia-san shouldn’t have anything to do with it, and Alice also said that it’s nothing. In that case, I guess I should just not worry about it then……

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [As expected of the strongest Stomachache Warrior, she truly is on a different level. To draw in stomachache flags not only here in this Founding Festival, but for later as well……]
