I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 1032: White God Festival, Night ③

After watching the fireworks, the airspace above the Sanctuary returned to the blue skies, and all the events of the White God Festival came to an end…… Ahh, it seems like there’s a…… completion ceremony? Closing ceremony? I’m not really really sure, but it seems like something like that would occur, so I’ll meet up with everyone and watch it with them.

I had been in the Sanctuary for about two hours, and it was now 8:00 pm…… It was hard to tell because the sky was blue, but considering that everyone would be returning to various places after this, I suppose it was a good time to end the event.

After the closing ceremony, it looks like the stalls will be open for the rest of the day. However, the stores on the middle-level seem to be quite crowded with people buying souvenirs.

While I had such a thought in mind, I met up with everyone at the middle-level. Thanks to the Detection Magic in Kuro’s necklace, I didn’t get lost and was able to meet up with the others right away.

It seems like Chronois-san is talking to the attendees on behalf of the Supreme Gods. After this, the Six Kings and the Human Realm’s rulers will give a few words, and then the festival will be over.

Nevertheless, even though there must have been a lot of things that had happened, it felt like it all happened in the blink of an eye. I guess that’s just how much fun it was.

In the future, it seems like the White God Festival will continue to be held, except for the cities where the Festival of Heroes were held, so I look forward to participating in the next one.

[……By the way, Luna-san.]

[What is it?]

[Doesn’t Lilia-san look rather tired?]

[Ahh, it’s because she’s been talking to a lot of Gods. You see, since Milady had received the blessing of a Supreme God, it seems that many of them wanted to say their greetings. And with Milady’s personality, she shriveled back and became tired.]

[……I see.]

Well, thinking about it again, Lilia-san is also a considerably great person, and I think she’s quite famous, so it wouldn’t be surprising that people would want to talk to her.

It’s just, if that were the case, there’s one thing I’d like to ask……

[Looking at how tired Lilia-san is, I’m guessing that a lot of Gods swarmed towards her…… but why so sudden?]

[When we encountered God of Earth-sama, Sky-sama mentioned how the Supreme Gods had been instructed to refrain from greeting Miyama-sama so as not to cause you too much trouble. However…… their order only involved Miyama-sama, and Milady wasn’t exactly included in that order.]

[That is, how should I say this……]

[It’s just a guess, but Miyama-sama’s presence was so great that the Supreme Gods may have forgotten about Milady. Only when a good number of Gods had finished their greetings did the Goddess of Time-sama finally arrive and settled the situation……]

I see, their attention was turned towards me, who had received Shiro-san’s blessing, that they took firm measures regarding me…… but as for Lilia-san, they may have just forgotten about her.

Indeed, even Lilia-san herself seemed to have forgotten the impact of her position as the recipient of a Supreme God’s True Blessing, as she had asked why when she was treated as a VIP…… Perhaps, Chronois-san herself also just realized what was going on and came out in a hurry to settle the situation.

[……Is this, in some way, my fault too?]

[It’s hard to judge, but I’m sure Miyama-sama had been acting as some sort of bulwark while you were with us. Well, you don’t have to worry about it. Milady is a noble, so making connections is part of her job. If the God Realm is to become more involved with the Human Realm and the Demon Realm in the future, her greeting them will eventually happen sooner or later.]

I thought that I had troubled Lilia-san again, but Lunamaria-san told me that I didn’t need to worry about this at all.

[In the first place, it’s simply because there are so many High-ranking Gods that she got that tired, but in the future, this would only be advantageous for Milady. She would be able to have strong connections with the God Realm after all…… Well, I’m sure her stomach hurts that her already strong authority has grown even stronger, but her stomach getting hurt isn’t really anything new, so there’s no need for Miyama-sama to worry about it at all.]

[……Luna-san is surprisingly kind in these situations huh.]

[That’s strange. Those words were supposed to be more of a compliment, but why do I kinda feel like you’re insulting me?]

Luna-san is quite perceptive to the subtleties of other people’s emotions, and she often makes follow-ups in these situations. This time, too, she made a follow-up in a matter-of-fact tone so that I wouldn’t feel bothered, and she was indeed feeling very considerate.

I think she’s actually a pretty caring person, and I’m grateful for everything I’ve done…… Well, even if I tell her this, I think she’ll try to deny it, and she may even gloss it over or run away…… I suppose she’s also like Alice in those areas too.

[Speaking of which, Yuzuki-sama had received Sky-sama’s blessing, you know?]

[Eh? Is that so? Hina-chan certainly was quite attached to Sky-san.]

[When I think about it, Kusunoki-sama received the Blessings of God of Earth-sama, and Yuzuki-sama received the Blessings of God of Sky-sama…… They’ve become quite amazing, haven’t they? Receiving the Blessings of High-ranking Gods, I feel envious of them.]

[……Should I ask someone for you?]

[I’d like you to excuse me from drinking stomach medicine, so I’ll pass.]

……It was a response that would have made me speechless…… but since there’s the precedent, Lilia-san, it’s difficult for me to retort back.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……Ohh, could it be, the Lover Shiro Arc has finally ended!!!?]

? ? ? : [I see you’ve revived in an incredibly normal way. Well, putting that aside…… What are you talking about? Shallow Vernal-sama’s arc hasn’t even begun, you know?]

Serious-senpai : [Eh? No, I mean…… they had that date……]

? ? ? : [We’re going in order, so after Alice-chan’s arc, it would be Fate-san’s arc, right?]

Serious-senpai : [……T- There really was that order……]

? ? ? : [The title also hasn’t changed, right?]

Serious-senpai : [……Ahh. (realized)]
