I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN) - Chapter 1646: Hydra Kingdom F

<Author’s Notes>

I’m not feeling well today, so today’s chapter is short.

After the message from the First Hero…… from Neun-san was announced, the ceremony continued. Though I say that, it would take quite a while to finish, so I don’t intend to watch the ceremony until the end.

[Then, since we have finished watching the main part of the ceremony, Kaito-san and I are gonna go now, but what about you two, Neun-san, Hapti?]

[Ah, we’ll go and talk to Laguna and Fors later.]

[There will be a break in the middle of the ceremony after all~~]

Neun-san and Hapti-san responded to Alice’s question. Our original plan was to go around together until the end of the ceremony, but Alice’s words were probably made after considering they’d want to greet Laguna-san and Fors-san.

I mean, the two of them would obviously want to talk with Laguna-san and Fors-san, as they are both part of the same Hero Party.

With that in mind, we decided to part ways with Neun-san and Hapti-san here, and Alice and I teleported again using Gluttony-san’s Teleportation Magic to go around the festival together.

[Well, coincidence it may be, going around with 4 people was also quite enjoyable.]

[Right…… By the way, Alice?]

[What is it?]

[In the end, why were you acting so suspicious today?]

[Bfuooh…… W- W- W- Wha……]

Well, we met Neun-san and Hapti-san, so I had stopped thinking about it for a moment, but I still haven’t heard the reason why Alice is being strangely tense today.

She said she would talk about it later, or rather, she made this statement that seemed to imply it would be related to me later on, and since we’re about to enter the latter half of the Founding Festival, I thought of asking her about it now.

Thereupon, Alice clearly looked agitated, her face blushing red, and her gaze moving restlessly from side to side.

[W- Why do you remember……]

[Rather, why would you think I would forget…… The way you spoke at that time gave me the impression that it wasn’t relevant then, but would be relevant later…… No, in the first place, Alice had been acting suspiciously since before, so with that something relevant that slipped off your mouth earlier, what exactly does that mean……]

[Ahh~~ There’s a delicious-looking food stall over there~~! Come on, Kaito-san, let’s check it out!]

[Eh, wait, you———– Whoa!?]

Alice, who changed the subject too forcefully, grabbed my hand and began moving at an incredible pace. Of course, I had no way to resist Alice with my strength, so I could only be helplessly pulled along.

H- Hmmm. It seems like she still doesn’t want to tell me. With her still not telling me about it now, I guess she would tell me in the evening?

[……I have already secured the place. I’ve also secretly contacted Kaito-san’s home in advance…… The preparations are complete…… All that’s left is for me to have courage……]

[Unnn? What did you just say?]

[It’s nothing!]

[……Nothing you say, it doesn’t look like it though.]

I couldn’t hear what she said because she subdued her voice, but the serious expression she had just now left quite the impression in my mind.

Seriously, what the heck is she thinking about……

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Ahh, it’s over…… This is definitely heading to the seaside cottage route……]
