I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN) - Chapter 1502: Seeking More Po

<Author’s Notes>

With the arc transitioning to the God Realm next time, today’s chapter is a bit short.

Well then, now that we had finished visiting Isis-san’s place, after we went to Kuro’s house by Teleportation Magic, we decided to discuss what we’re going to do hereafter.

[So, Kuro, what are we going to do now? There are still a lot of people Kuro and I know here in the Demon Realm, but should we go visit them?]

[Unnn, that’s a good idea. However, I think we should finish going around the Six Kings first.]

[……Unnn?]

Somehow, she said something strange. We should have already finished going around the Six Kings. Lillywood-san, Magnawell-san, Megiddo-san, Isis-san…… Yep, we should have visited them all.

However, with the way Kuro said that though, I have a bad feeling about this. And the existence that got that bad feeling even more than me showed herself and called out to Kuro.

[……No, you’ve already finished visiting all of the Six Kings, you know?]

[No, there’s still Shalltear left after all…….]

[No, no! You’re already asking that for the third time, you know!? What’s so fun in asking the opinion of someone who’s so uninterested that I can’t be bothered to answer even once!? Isn’t that too much of a responsibility on me?]

[Unnn, I guess you’re right. I definitely am being helped by Shalltear a lot, and I really am grateful…… So, do you have any opinions in mind?]

[……Are you a demon or what? With the current flow of things, you’re decisively doing that all calm and composed!?]

Yeah, she is a Demon. There’s no mistaking that, she’s the Baby Castella Demon after all. Even so, she’s seriously gonna ask Alice multiple times huh. Well, Kuro is also on good terms with Alice, so I guess she’s just half-jokingly asking that…… However, with how accommodating Alice is, she still ended up giving her another suggestion.

[……Haahhh…… How about having them served with some soup and eating them after dipping the baby castellas into it?]

[Isn’t that a bit too simple? It’s true that a food’s taste can change by preparing a separate soup or sauce, but can you really say that it expands the possibilities of baby castellas? Instead of escaping towards external taste changes, I want something that has the spirit of changing the fundamentals.]

[And why the heck are you giving harsh commentaries on my suggestion!? Even though, with all the random suggestions all sorts of people have given until now, aren’t you just saying “I see~~” to all that!!!?]

Indeed, this certainly is the first time that Kuro had expressly refused the suggestion. Although it feels like this was just because the one suggesting that is Alice but……

[……That’s just how things turned out, don’t you think?]

[……Kuro-san, I just suddenly thought of something…… You’ve been having a lot of your baby castellas confiscated by me lately, so are you taking this opportunity to strike back?]

[…………Ahh~~ Shalltear, thanks for the good suggestion! Well then, Kaito-kun, let’s go to the next area!]

[Ahh, got you there, didn’t I!!!? What, for no reason are all, you planning to do this for a few more times!!!?]

Alice vehemently threw her tsukkomis at Kuro, who was intentionally avoiding the topic so obviously that it was clear to see, and was now trying to redirect the topic to heading towards the next person to visit.

It’s just, both of them had smirks on their faces, giving the impression that they were just playing around, and just as Kuro had said back then, I could tell that the two of them were really on good terms with each other, somehow making me smile.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [It certainly feels like they’re on good terms with each other. The way Kuro interacts with her seems genuine and unguarded……]
