I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN) - Chapter 1583: Stomachache-Fil

Lilia-san decided to take a break for the time being, and along with Amel-san, we were chatting while tending to the store in a relaxed atmosphere.

While seated on a simple chair I had taken out of my magic box, Lilia-san had an expression of curiosity on her face.

[……So this is what it feels like behind a stall huh. It feels quite fresh and somewhat intriguing.]

[This kind of atmosphere is quite fun, isn’t it?]

Come to think of it, Lilia-san is a former princess and a Duchess, so it’s unlikely for her to personally run a stall like this. Being someone who likely hasn’t even visited a regular stall very often, it’s possible that she finds everything here quite novel and interesting.

[Speaking of which, aren’t you also having a hard time here too, Amel-sama? This being a stall handled by Kaito-san, wouldn’t many famous people have visited here?]

[Fumu? No, the connections my sworn friend has certainly is admirable, but at present…… It’s just the God who Governs Time, the God who Supervises Fate, and the King of the Raging Flames, I think? No, of course I could feel their majesty, but there is a relative amount of space between the times I met them.]

[Right. Other than when Chronois-san and Fate-san initially arrived, and Megiddo-san came later, we’ve been able to relax and take it easy with just a few sporadic customers coming by.]

In fact, this time, it’s probably because I had distributed the accessories to my lovers in advance. And unlike the baby castella stall from before, our stall this time doesn’t deal with food, so the number of customers wasn’t that large.

My impression is that many people checked out our stall out of curiosity, thanks to the attention to detail that Amel-san put into the appearance. Some of the ceramic items are also selling well, so it feels like moderately affluent individuals also came…… but compared to Symphonia’s Founding Festival, the foot traffic is really low here, allowing us to have a relaxed atmosphere.

[……I- I see…… Sounds peaceful. Unlike mine……]

[L- Lilia-san?]

[No, I’m sorry. I’m just feeling a bit overwhelmed thinking about what happens later……]

[Hmmm, I don’t think I can be of much help about that…… Ahh, are you feeling hungry? I have yakisoba and other stuff here if you’d like.]

To cheer up Lilia-san, who seemed melancholic, I took out the yakisoba that I had bought in larger quantities and offered it to her. Lilia-san looked at it with a sense of curiosity, her interest piqued and a spark in her eyes.

Come to think of it, during the beach trip, Alice quickly made yakisoba for Eden-san, but I don’t recall Lilia-san ever having the opportunity to see yakisoba before.

[……Ahh, it’s delicious! Is this a pasta dish from Kaito-san’s world?]

[Something like that. Alice made these, and I think they’re very rare in this world.]

Lilia-san likes grilled skewers and tends to enjoy commoner tastes, so it seems like she really liked the yakisoba, as she happily bundled it up like spaghetti and ate it, a smile appearing on her face.

Well, according to Lilia-san, it’s going to be tough after she returns, so I hope she can relax a little here.

While I was thinking about this, Lilia-san suddenly stopped eating and her expression changed to a serious one, and Amel-san’s expression changed as well.

[My sworn friend, a great magic power is drawing near…… However, what an unusual magic power……]

[Their magic power does feel like that of a monster. Moreover, this amount…… Isn’t this on the level of a Count-rank? However, they had an unusual magic power unlike that of Dragons……]

[Eh? Is that so…… Errr…… Arehh? Isn’t this?]

I am not that proficient in detecting magic power. Unlike Amel-san and Lilia-san, I don’t have the ability to discern someone’s race through magic, but I do have my Sympathy Magic that allows me to expand my detection range. By doing so, I can sense who is approaching. Of course, this is only if the person is someone I am familiar with… And this time, it belongs to someone I knew.

[Kaito-san? Do you have an idea who they are?]

[Yes, I think the reason you two find that magic power unusual…… was probably because it was “the magic power of a Slime”.]

[Slime!? Eh, m- my sworn friend!? By Slime, are you talking about that Slime!? There’s a Slime that possesses this much magic power in the world!?]

I think Amel-san’s surprise is justified. Slimes are known as a harmless and weak monster among monsters. But as far as this one is concerned, they are definitely a Count-rank.

[……Kaito-san, could they be that one you talked about before……]

[Yes, I think it’s Roze-san. I don’t know why Roze-san, who should rarely leave the Forbidden Land, is here though……]

Immediately after I replied to them such words, with the sound resembling a ball bouncing up and down, a familiar Slime livelily bounced our way.

(Kaito-kuuuun! Roze came to visit~~!)

Seeing Roze-san, calling out a cheerful voice…… well, voice from her magic wavelength, Lilia-san…… had this expression that seemed to say “In the end, this is how it turns out huh”.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Here we witness Lilia, drawing to hear a Count-rank whom she had never met in person until now…… No matter how I look at this, the word “stomachache” couldn’t help popping out in my head.]
