I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN) - Chapter 1729: Intermission: T

The Great Hall of the royal castle of Hydra Kingdom. Many nobles had already gathered in the place where the Founding Festival party was to be held, and were having conversations of their own.

The main topic of conversation was, of course, the abnormal…… or rather, the miraculous situation that had occurred earlier.

(After displaying an unsetting evening sun, a meteor shower filling the entire starry sky comes right afterward. It was as if we were dreaming. It was truly a miracle of God…… We were reminded once again of the greatness of the God of Creation-sama.)

While keeping an eye on the venue, the Marquis lady, who had come from the Archlesia Empire as her father’s proxy, ponders. Since she had already made brief greetings to the nobles she was acquainted with, she had a bit of time before the party started, allowing plenty of time to think things through.

(If I’m not mistaken, back in the previous Festival of Heroes too, God of Creation-sama displayed her power before us. Regarding that time, as the Festival of Heroes marks its 100th iteration, the prevailing view is that it was in commemoration of that, and I personally consider that perspective to be the most likely. And this time’s miracle…… It would be more natural to consider this as a blessing that honors the message of the First Hero, rather than one solely associated with the Hydra Kingdom.)

Creator God Shallow Vernal almost never wields her omnipotent power before ordinary people. Rather, if one speaks of instances which were clearly attributable to Shallow Vernal, there are only two occasions: the miracle during the Festival of Heroes and the current miracle.

It is possible for the Supreme Gods to exhibit their power under the command of Shallow Vernal, as was the case during the Six Kings Festival, but it was recognized that it’s extremely rare for Shallow Vernal herself to do so directly.

In particular, given that there had never been any mention of Hydra Kingdom’s close ties to the God Realm, and that no Gods attended the ceremony earlier, it was difficult to believe that she had performed a miracle for the Hydra Kingdom.

(However, even if that were the case, a miracle occurring on the day of their Founding Festival would be an extremely beneficial development for Hydra Kingdom. Her Majesty Laguna will certainly drive the story in that direction. Many would probably want to hear about the details from her…… but it’s going to be difficult for me to talk to her directly.)

Before she knew it, the Marquis lady had arrived in front of the door that was the main entrance to the main hall, and after reflecting on the fact that she may have been thinking too much, she attempted to turn back. But at that moment, a new visitor to the hall called out to her.

[Sorry, can I ask you something?]

[Yes, what is———– U- U- U- Underworld King-sama!?]

It was no wonder the Marquis lady’s eyes widened when she turned around. After all, standing there was the Underworld King Kuromueina, and she, who never expected to be addressed by one of the Six Kings, was startled and reflexively straightened her back in surprise.

Seeing this, Kuromueina wryly smiled before continuing in a gentle tone.

[Do you know where Laguna-cha——— King Hydra is?]

[Huh, ah, errr…… I- I still haven’t seen her in the hall yet, so I think she’s in the castle…… probably in her office, but my apologies. I don’t exactly know where she is…..]

[No. It’s enough that I already know she’s not at the venue. I’ll just ask the castle maids for her exact location…… Well, I wasn’t originally planning to attend this party, but there’s just something that really bothers me…… Well, I’ll just look for her. Thank you for letting me know.]

[Y- Yes!?]

After flashing a bright smile, Kuromueina waved casually before leaving the venue, and watching her depart, the Marquis lady breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

(T- That surprised me. I didn’t expect I’d get to talk with Underworld King-sama…… I- It’s a pity that I couldn’t introduce myself, but since she seemed to be in a hurry, it would be rude of me to force her to stay, so it can’t be helped. However, why is it that Underworld King-sama suddenly…… Could this be related to God of Creation-sama’s miracle?)

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [The one who can complain about these two Gods doing whatever they want arrives!]

? ? ? : [Perhaps sensing something when Shallow Vernal-sama stopped the sunset, she cut her schedule short. She’s seriously a savior for Lilia and the others.]
