I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN) - Chapter 1735: Nighttime Found

<Author’s Notes>

I don’t have time, so today’s chapter is a little short.

I understood Shiro-san’s request to some extent, but just because I understood it, it was extremely difficult to carry it out. However, Shiro-san was still staring at me with an unyielding stance, exuding some sort of silent pressure.

[……Errr, I just want to check, but in the end, what am I supposed to do?]

[I want a happening where Kaito-san pushes me down.]

[……………..]

While I understand that Shiro-san’s request comes from the development of a love comedy manga, once it has been declared like this, it would technically not be considered a happening, just an act of me pushing her down.

As expected, that’s too high of a hurdle for me, and even if I really were to push her down, there needs to be some sort of situation for that to happen…… I won’t say it would have to be just like those times with Alice, but I think it’s important to pay some attention to the atmosphere.

[……Fumu.]

……Hmm, this is…… Doesn’t it feel like I got through her!? Shiro-san has an unusually distressed expression on her face. She wants to experience the happenings from romance manga, but she probably thinks that my earlier idea of such a thing needing a more appropriate atmosphere is also reasonable.

If she’s gonna be that understanding though, I would have liked a similar reaction when we had that exchange about the changing room……

[Shiro-san, you’ve already read my mind so I believe you already knew what I’m about to say to some extent, but I still think situations and contexts are important in stuff like those. Indeed, if I were to push Shiro-san down, I’m sure it would definitely make our hearts racing, but I think if there’s no element of spontaneity, it would just make the situation awkward, and the lovey-dovey atmosphere might even fade. Wouldn’t that be putting the cart before the horse?]

[……Mnhhh…… You have a point.]

[And you know, our original goal here is to soak in the onsen together, so let’s prioritize that for now. I mean, I’m also looking forward to the onsen, and since I’m already here in the changing room, I want to get in there as soon as possible. There might be another opportunity for love comedy situations, so we don’t need to rush and try to forcibly fit into it!]

[…………………]

It’s a rare development where I actually have the upper hand. It seemed like Shiro-san was troubled, but I sensed that my persuasion was starting to move her mind.

After a short period of silence, she quietly nodded.

[I understand. It’s true that there’s no need to rush and that our original goal is the onsen. Let’s leave Operation Happening for next time.]

[I’m glad you understood.]

[Yes. And so, let’s settle it with a passionate hug.]

[……Hmm?]

That’s strange? Where in the flow of our conversation did that come from? Shiro-san is already stretching her arms wide, looking like she’s waiting for her hug…… N- No, well, did I just manage to get her to compromise?

Having such a thought in mind, I let out a light sigh before taking a step closer to Shiro-san and hugging her body. Since she asked for a passionate one, I gave her a slightly strong hug.

Shiro-san’s hands also go around my back, and her embrace, which is as soft and warm as ever, fills me with happiness.

……Well, putting that aside, when can we go to the onsen?

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Gah, kuh, not yet…… I can still endure it…… Wait, wouldn’t enduring it just prolong the suffering?]
