I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)

The three rulers of the Human Realm, Ryze, Chris and Laguna, who had asked the church to prepare a separate room for them, sat around a table and exchanged words.

It was a bit like a joint meeting between the three countries, but what was on the agenda was the existence of the Singularity in the world.

[Well, I knew that would be the case…… but it really was Kaito huh…… Even so, the fact that Founder-sama herself offered to facilitate this wedding must mean Kaito is very well-liked.]

[Cattleya and Seigi were also surprised, but this was a big plus for the both of them. Cattleya, as a former princess, may be strong in socializing in the royal capital, but she doesn’t have many contacts with the provinces around it.]

As Laguna nodded in understanding, Ryze told them about the information he had heard from Cattleya. Chris, who was leaning to this, looked at her watch to make sure they still had time to spare before she spoke.

[It may be a coincidence, but since the rulers of the three countries have gathered here to talk, why don’t we share some information for the future? More specifically, regarding Miyama-sama…… Everyone is keeping a close eye on Miyama-sama’s movements, right?]

[Indeed…… Seriously, if people take their eyes off of him, they always end up in surprising situations…… Of course, I and the Hydra Kingdom have been collecting information on Kaito. If you ask me if we could flawlessly keep track of his movements though, I would have to shake my head.]

[Even the Symphonia Kingdom, which is the closest to him among us, is also not flawless in this matter, so it can’t be helped. Phantasmal King-sama keeps tight control on what information gets out and what doesn’t, so the information we can get is limited.]

Although it’s a matter of course, Kaito is someone that the various countries can’t ignore. He is literally a singularity whose actions could have country-sized impacts, so the countries have allocated considerable budget and manpower to collect the latest information on him.

Even if that is the case though, Alice, who can be said to be an absolute authority in this field, is with him, so the information that the three countries can obtain are those that Alice deems to be safe.

In addition, since stupid joke-like false information are sometimes mixed in so as to make them perceive her existence around Kaito, it’s quite difficult to simply obtain information, and even within each country, there’s currently a wide variation in information.

[As for the Archlesia Empire, the latest information we received is his aforementioned connection with Amel-dono.]

[As for our Symphonia Kingdom…… We are still in the process of confirming the authenticity of this, but we have information that Big Tree Princess-sama had been brought to a dogeza by Miyama-kun at the afterparty of Harmonic Symphony.]

[Jutia-sama? Is this even real, Ryze boy? I don’t think the mild-mannered Jutia-sama would be in a situation where she would get into trouble with Kaito…… If you get any additional information, please let me know.]

The words Ryze told them were quite surprising, and both Laguna and Chris had astonished expressions on their faces. As one would expect, even the sharpest of the kings couldn’t come up with the idea that Jutia kneeled in a dogeza because she wanted tea leaves.

[As for us, we have heard that Kaito is teaming up with a trading company to launch a new product. Details about this product are still unknown, but I can imagine it should cause quite a stir…… However, the trading company he partnered with doesn’t seem to be very big. We still don’t have much information and are still in the middle of investigating this.]

[……There’s something Miyama-sama is selling to the public huh…… We need to be careful that it doesn’t disrupt the market.]

After sharing the latest information on Kaito, they had a little chat. However, since each of them was a ruler of their respective countries, there were many feints and probes in their chit-chat.

As the conversation continued, Laguna, seemingly remembering something, asked Chris.

[……Speaking of which, young Chris. Archlesia Empire’s economy seems to be doing well these days, isn’t it?]

[Fufu, yes, many good things have happened. As for the first one, it had to be that. At the first Six Kings Festival, many of our country’s nobles were thankfully given guidance by a God from another world.]

[Archlesia’s nobles…… many of them have conservative doctrines. As a reformist, they must have been a real pain in the ass for you, young Chris.]

[Yes, but thanks to Eden-sama’s guidance, some of them can’t stop shaking at the mere mention of Miyama-sama’s name…… Thus, matters related to Miyama-sama are now able to pass without any trouble. With that, the momentum of the conservatives itself is weakening, which makes things very easy for me.]

When she heard Laguna’s words, Chris didn’t hide the fact that she’s in a good mood. As a matter of fact, the economy of the entire Archlesia Empire has been improving recently, and the momentum has begun to build up for them.

Thereupon, Ryze asked Chris his own question next.

[……I also heard that you’ve developed a good relationship with the Lord Trading Company?]

[Hohh, you catch on information well. It seems that we aren’t just sitting on Miyama-sama’s blessings. Yes, it’s true that the Lord Trading Company, one of the five Major Trading Companies, has been very supportive of our reformism, which has greatly improved the flow of funds.]

[How did you even manage to persuade that woman?]

[It seems she appreciated how our business-related policies were bearing fruit…… and I was lucky enough to visit her when she was in a very good mood, so the conversation went smoothly.]

The aforementioned Lord Trading Company is a large trading company with its headquarters in the Archlesia Empire and is the largest trading company in the Human Realm…… It’s also one of the five largest and most financially powerful trading companies in the world, and its financial strength is on a different dimension from that of ordinary trading companies.

Incidentally, the chairman of Lord Trading Company was Satania Darklord…… which, in the end, is actually a trading company Alice owns. As a side note, Satania was in a good mood when Chris visited because she was able to meet Kaito the day before her visit.

[The weakening of the conservatives, the materialization of the effects of our policies, the development of trustworthy subjects, and the cooperation of one of the Major Trading Companies…… Thanks to a good combination of factors, our economy has been very fluid.]

[……Moreover, there’s the land under the Providence of God of Fate-sama, the hot topic of the moment…… And for young Chris, who became Emperor because the Archlesia Empire needed a change, there is no better time than now, right?]

[Yes, the Providence has brought quite a favorable wind towards our direction, and the whole Archlesia Empire is now beginning to change in a very positive way. For me, it’s a pretty ideal development…… To be honest, I was initially looking at 50 years or more before I could bring the country to this state…… I really am quite indebted to Miyama-sama.]

Chris chuckled as she said this, her expression softening dramatically compared to the days when she was fighting for her country, killing herself in distress for a country that had become corrupt.

The rulers understood that this was also due in no small part to Kaito’s influence, and they realized anew the power of Kaito’s presence.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Well, that’s a given, isn’t it? For countries to be willing to spend quite a bit of money to collect information on Kaito……]

? ? ? : [Alice-chan plays a big role in this ring.]

Serious-senpai : [The intelligence agencies of each country are pitiful. It’s nothing short of a nightmare to have a guy with a bad personality and an unbeatable level of information warfare harass you on a whim.]
