I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN) - Chapter 1534: Extra Ch: Isis

Isis and Kaito, the Death King’s subordinates under the lead of Iris, and finally, Alice…… A total of nine people sit at the dinner table. Looking at this lively scene, Isis suddenly remembered the past.

The time when this castle had just been completed…… While thanking Shalltear for making the spacious dining room just as she had asked for, Isis once tried sitting on the chair she is now sitting on.

Thinking that one day she would sit here, surrounded by many subordinates…… her family in a lively dining room, Isis sat down on this chair…… but at that time, she saw nothing.

She hoped that such a future would happen. There was no mistaking that…… However, Isis back then couldn’t imagine anyone other than herself sitting in that big dining room.

No matter how many times she sat down and ate, all she could think of was the sight of herself alone in the spacious dining room. She had the vague desire to have a meal with her large family, but she wasn’t able to imagine anything concrete…… As if deep down in her heart, she had already given up on the idea that such a day would ever come……

Not wanting to admit the feeling of despair spreading through her heart, as if to avert her eyes from it, Isis stopped using this dining room. She closed the door of the dining room tightly, only trying to keep it clean with State Preservation Magic. As if to freeze her wish just as they are……

The time when the door of this dining room reopened was when Kaito, her beloved who she fortuitously met, came to stay at her home for the first time. Thinking about it again, since that time…… Her frozen dreams may have begun to move again……

Having such thoughts in mind, Isis moved her gaze.

[Try to hold back eating, oi.]

[Isn’t it fine, eating as I please? Iris can make more each time we run out……]

[If you want to eat something other than what’s on the table right now, make it yourself. Of course, you will have to provide your own ingredients.]

[Ehhh, I’m like, a guest here, you know?]

[My apologies, but may I ask for your understanding, Phantasmal King No Face-sama?]

[Ughee…… A- Alright already…… I’ll restrain myself, so please stop with those disgusting honorifics.]

Since they’re best friends, Iris and Alice are enjoying their meal in a casual atmosphere.

[……Hou, the taste is truly interesting, but it was indeed tasty.]

[Indeed, I’ve never been interested in eating, but very lately, I’m starting to think that isn’t so bad.]

[That, I agree. I have not eaten for a long time, but now, I’ve completely become a fan of Head-dono’s cooking.]

Sirius, Rasal and Polaris were eating the food prepared by Iris with admiration…… Sirius and Rasal, who usually quarreled frequently, don’t get in a bad mood when they are eating, as they were having trivial chats in the midst of their meal.

[Arehh~~? Why can’t I eat as nicely as Eul?]

[I’m not doing anything special though? Look, I just eat like this.]

[L- Like this? Hmmm, I enjoy eating, but I just can’t get used to using tableware.]

Spica, who had never eaten before because she had materialized as a Spirit, was still not used to handling tableware and was having a hard time with it.

Unlike her though, Eulpecula’s natural dexterity enabled her to master the knife and fork, and even chopsticks soon after learning Humanization Magic, and while teaching Spica how to use the knife and fork, she eats her own meal.

[……Isis-san?]

[……Ahh…… No, it’s just…… It’s so bustling…… and enjoyable.]

[You’re right. Everyone eating with smiles on their faces, things just naturally turn out fun.]

[……Unnn.]

While returning a smile to her beloved Kaito, who was smiling next to her, Isis slowly moved her gaze again.

This was a sight that she couldn’t imagine back then…… but now, it’s different. The scene before her wasn’t one where she’s eating with Kaito and her subordinates…… Just like when she had a vision of her subordinates gathering like this, Isis felt like she could see faint visions of the future in her eyes.

The sight of a large number of subordinates…… her family of around a hundred, having a meal in the dining room, cheerfully merrymaking, will surely become a reality someday…… and that she strongly believes she will make it a reality.

Isis’ frozen heart and dreams were illuminated and thawed by her sun, Kaito…… and she now has great warmth and hope held in her heart.

[……Kaito.]

[Yes?]

[……Ehehe…… I love you very much.]

Envisioning a happy future…… and realizing that this in itself was also happiness, Isis happily smiled.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Alright, that neatly wraps things up! WIth this, Isis’ Extra Chapter is……]

? ? ? :[That’s right. The important part is over, so all that’s left is Kaito-san and Isis-san flirting.]

Serious-senpai [……? ? ?]
