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

Leaving the venue of the event, we headed for the city. Since the nighttime session was supposed to be a separate event, we bought a separate ticket for us as well.

I heard that the event site will be closed from 7:00 to 8:00 pm, and the daytime session will be replaced by the nighttime session, so we plan to come back around 8:00 pm.

As for what we should eat here in this city, I checked out Kuro’s Eating Tour in its Entirety Guide. As always, this Eating Tour Guide is very useful.

Incidentally, this guide is updated by Kuro every now and then, so it usually includes new restaurants that have just opened recently.

[Sieg-san, is there anything you want to eat?]

[Hmmm, since we’re here, I’d like to try some of the famous dishes around here.]

[Ahh, I’d certainly also like to try some of the local specialties……]

As I flipped through the pages, one page caught my eye. Kuro has given it a rather high 8 stars, and in the remarks column, she described it as a rare dish that is hard to find in other cities.

Looking at its descriptions…… It looks like okonomiyaki. The restaurant was opened by a past Hero representative who stayed in this world and it now has a history of 400 years.

[Sieg-san, how would you like this restaurant? I read that you can eat something similar to okonomiyaki from the world I was in.]

[That’s the first time I’ve heard of that dish. I’m interested in it, so let’s go there.]

[Yes.]

After deciding on okonomiyaki, I looked at the restaurant’s location in the Eating Tour Guide…… and found that unlike what I had imagined, it looked like a very upscale restaurant.

We went there to confirm if it would be alright to come without reservation, we got the okay and were immediately guided inside. It was a completely private room, and there was a table with a griddle in the center of the spacious room.

[This place feels more upscale than I imagined.]

[Was it different in the world you were in, Kaito-san?]

[Okonomiyaki is more like commoner food……]

[I suppose it’s because it’s very rare to find otherworld dishes. In this world, things like the ingredients for them tend to be expensive. Rice, for example, is comparatively expensive.]

[I see.]

I guess that difference is something that can’t be helped huh…… Kaori-san also said that the purchase price of rice here is high, and that there are ingredients that are hard to come by, so it’s possible that even dishes that I considered cheap can be expensive in this world.

A little while after we sat down, a waiter came to ask for our order. It seems that you can choose whether to bake them yourself or be served with already-baked okonomiyaki…… I decided to just have something already baked brought to us.

Well…… I’m not really confident I can turn it over cleanly, and in the first place, I’m not sure if they follow the same procedure as the okonomiyaki I know……

[Come to think of it, we still have time until 8:00 pm after we eat our meal, don’t we?]

[Do you want to go shopping somewhere nearby after we finish eating?]

[Ahh, that sounds great. It looks like a good way to pass the time. Is there anything you would like to buy, Sieg-san?]

[Let’s see…… How about clothes? It gets a little chilly at night, so I brought a jacket, but since we’re at it, let’s check out if we can get other options to wear.]

I have Shiro-san’s blessing, so the cold doesn’t really bother me, but it’s true that Archlesia Empire is a land with cooler temperatures. As Sieg-san is wearing a sleeveless outfit, I guess she would feel chilly.

[Rather, aren’t you feeling chilly, Sieg-san? I think it would be pretty cold for the season……]

[Ahh, even if I’m wearing thin clothes, since I’m protecting myself with magic power, it isn’t really too cold.]

[Ahh, I see.]

[It’s one of the compulsory magic for knights. The problem is that the performance of the magic degrades with temperature changes…… Well, there’s a limit to the temperature that can be adjusted…… Well, there’s a limit to the temperature change you can adjust, so I still feel chilly…… Kaito-san, you’re under the effect of Shallow Vernal-sama’s blessing, right?]

[Yes, I’m alright even with temperatures as low as those in the Land of Death.]

The Land of Death is a place plunged in ice and snow, so it should be a considerably cold place, but I don’t feel chilly there at all. As for heat, according to Shiro-san, it’s even possible for me to swim in lava. This effect alone is more than enough to make Shiro-san’s Blessing quite outrageous.

[As expected of Shallow Vernal-sama’s Blessing. By the way, Kaito-san. I’m changing the subject……. Or rather, I’m returning to our earlier subject, but do you have any favorite clothes?]

[We’re talking about what I would wear? If so, it would have to be a parka like I’m wearing. To be honest, I don’t really care much about my other clothing, but I just can’t calm myself unless I’m wearing a parka.]

I have a lot of various pants and shirts, but only this parka is my favorite that I bought multiples of them. I suppose it’s kind of like my trademark, so not wearing this just doesn’t feel right.

[I understand how you feel. I also don’t feel comfortable unless I have a scarf around my neck……]

[By the way, Sieg-san, do you have any favorite clothes?]

[Let’s see…… I guess it really would have to be clothes that are easy to move around in in the forest.]

[Ahh, that really has to be important huh.]

Come to think of it, I feel like she also said something like that at the store when we went shopping for clothes for the Six Kings Festival, and feeling somewhat nostalgic, I smiled.

Just like that, I enjoyed the time chatting with Sieg-san until our food arrived.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Considering the s, the suffix numbers after the titles is up to ⑫…… So there would be at least 5 more chapters before that night ☆connection☆ event starts…… I’m scared.

? ? ? : [The heck is with that ☆…… Not only is that old-school, but don’t you think it’s lame?]

Serious-senpai : [Whoa there, can you not do any more damage to my psyche? I’ll cry here, you know?]
