I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN) - Chapter 1836: Golden Encounte

At the counter, we received our fries, nuggets and colas and sat down. Aria-san gives off an air of elegance in her demeanor and movements, but she doesn’t feel out of place as she sits down with a smile on her face, suggesting she’s quite accustomed to visiting fast food restaurants.

[……Ah, they’re delicious. I wonder if these are freshly fried?]

[Perhaps our timing was just right. These small-scale shops usually don’t have things like magic boxes, so whether you get them freshly fried depends on timing.]

[I see, lucky us then.]

As I tried to pick up a long piece of fry and ate it, I found that it had just the right amount of saltiness and a delightful fluffy texture. How should I say this…… Eating it makes one think “This is how fries should be”. Simple as it is, fries are the best.

Aria-san also elegantly picks up a fry and brings it to her mouth, smiling happily. If her face were visible, she would probably be beaming with joy.

The nuggets also come with two sauces, ketchup and mustard, and eating them with these is very delicious. The light taste of the chicken matches perfectly with the ketchup and mustard, making it very tasty.

Of course, cola is important for this line-up too. It has a taste similar to diet cola, but it also has a strong carbonation, making it incredibly delicious after drinking it for the first time in a long time.

……By the way, how do they maintain the carbonation in this world? Do they have some kind of special magic tool for it?

[Kaito-sama.]

[Yes?]

[Do you think dipping fries in nugget sauce is improper?]

[No, if you think it’s delicious, I think it’s fine.]

[I see, that’s a relief!]

After happily responding to my words, Aria-san dips a fry in ketchup and eats it. Somehow, even though half her face is hidden, I can tell she’s enjoying her food.

[Aria-san, do you like fries?]

[Yes, there was a dish similar to this where I was born and raised. Though I say that, it wasn’t as polished into these long and narrow shapes. It was just a simple dish made up of chunks of fried potatoes sprinkled with salt…… but it has been my favorite since then.]

[I see, it’s a taste of nostalgia for you. Even so, that’s a bit surprising. How should I say this…… Aria-san’s movements have this elegance to them…… so I kinda thought maybe you were a noble lady in disguise……]

[Fufufu, being called elegant is an honor, but I was born and raised as a commoner…… Yes, really…… What’s actually odd is that I had somehow ended up at the top of a country through happenstance……]

Even if she weren’t Alexandra-san, I thought she might be a noble. Her clothes are quite high-quality and her movements exude grace, so I thought she must be a noble……

[Unnn? Sorry, your voice was too low, so I couldn’t catch the latter part of what you said……]

[Ahh, no! I think the reason why my gestures seem elegant is because I work as a maid. I often interact with nobles, especially since Archlesia Empire is a country where the nobles’ authority is strong, so I naturally picked up these gestures from them……]

[I see……]

A maid? Arehh? In that case, could she actually be Alexandra-san then?

[By the way, is Aria-san’s hometown also in Archlesia Empire?]

[Ahh, no, I’m a Unique Demon, so I was both born and raised in the Demon Realm. However, I’ve been living in the Human Realm for a long time now, so the time I’ve spent in the Demon Realm and the time I’ve spent in the Human Realm are becoming almost equal, so it wouldn’t be strange to say that Archlesia Empire is like a second home to me.]

A Unique Demon? Ahh, then she really may not be Alexandra-san after all. From what I heard from Frau-san and other maids, Alexandra-san should be a Half-Demon, and her voice is different too, so maybe she really is just someone who looks similar.

[I’m sorry for asking so many questions, but does that mean you immigrated to Archlesia Empire quite a long time ago?]

[No, I don’t mind. Indeed, it has been quite a while. However, I came to the Human Realm due to an extremely rare accident called Space-Time Distortion, so I initially didn’t come here of my own volition.]

[Ahh, I see. From the sound of it, it’s like you’re suddenly teleported from the Demon Realm to the Human Realm due to some kind of space-time anomaly?]

[Yes, you can see it that way.]

[That is, how should I say this…… sounds rough.]

It seems Aria-san came to the Human Realm due to an accident. That must have been really rough. I was also suddenly summoned from another world, but because the people of this world already have some know-how due to past Hero Summonings, I was able to manage without much difficulty, but still, suddenly being thrown into a different environment is rough.

[It might not have been as extreme as being summoned to another world like Kaito-sama, but it was certainly very surprising and confusing for me too. At that time, the country Archlesia Empire still hadn’t existed, and the existence of the Human Realm itself was like some fairy tale in the Demon Realm, so I remember feeling bewildered.]

As Aria-san said this, with a somewhat nostalgic expression on her face, she started reminiscing.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Ahh, I see…… ? ? ? added explanations in the Afterword, but the information Kaito has obtained indicates that Alexandra is a Half-Demon, so it isn’t unreasonable that he would think she’s a different person hearing that she’s a pure Demon huh……]
