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

Chapter 1315 - Founding Festival - Noon ⑥

Fortunately, I contacted them via hummingbird immediately, so we were able to meet up with Cento-san and Cien-san right away. And now, Tre-san is currently being scolded by Cento-san.

[……Esteemed Sister Tre, I’ve asked you this time and time again, but why did you suppress your magic power when this happens? Being able to slip through mine and Cien’s Magic Detection requires considerable skill in concealment ability.]

[No, it’s not like I meant to suppress it…… I mean, I’m not good at detailed magic power control.]

Looking at the astounded Cento-san and Tre-san, who was curiously tilting her head, I started talking to the nearby Cien-san.

[……She suppresses her magic power when she disappears?]

[Yes, this happens every time for some reason. Moreover, Cento and I were her guards, so we almost never took our eyes off Esteemed Sister Tre. There are many High-ranking Demons who are engaged in such activities, but Cento and I both use magic to expand our field of vision to 360 degrees, so even if we turn our backs…… we should still be able to see Esteemed Sister Tre’s movements.]

[Errr……]

[This was the case for time too, as for some reason, as if she had been aiming at that moment, the moment our gaze leaves her the slightest, like when a passerby crosses between us, she disappears…… Moreover, the stealth ability after disappearing from our sight is dreadful. If it’s just the size of this plaza, Cento and I have the detection ability that even the location of a small bug is clear to us. Because this situation has been repeated lots of times already in the past, we make sure to detect everything around us, but for some reason, she’s still able to slip through all of them…..]

[Any chance she’s doing that on purpose?]

[I’d like to suspect that, but I don’t think she’s even conscious of it.]

Indeed, both Cento-san and Cien-san are Count-rank Demons, and such people normally wouldn’t lose sight of Tre-san, whose ability is almost the same as an average person, and even if they do, they should be able to find her immediately.

However, the fact that she always loses them means that she slips through all of their detection, including the magic power detection that should allow them to not miss a single insect within a 360-degree field of vision…… Is she a natural spy or what?

[It would have been great if she could go and develop that talent of hers in that direction.]

[It seemed like it was difficult for her to consciously do that though.]

[Hmmm, that ability now ended up being a nuisance and isn’t useful at all…… How troubling……]

If you look at the people around us, it would be a problem when she suddenly disappears, but because she couldn’t consciously use it, it’s also difficult to make effective use of it…… Rather than an expert spy, isn’t her ability turning her into an expert stray child?

Both Cento-san and Cien-san also know that Tre-san isn’t doing it maliciously, and with it something that happens unconsciously, it’s difficult to take measures against it.

As I was thinking about these, Alice suddenly appeared and told me with an astounded look.

[……From Alice-chan’s point of view, Tre-san has a talent for Recognition Inhibition Magic. If she can “train it”, her Recognition Inhibition Magic would be able to reach the level of mine.]

[Eh? Is that so?]

[Yes, just like Kaito-san’s Sympathy Magic, it’s an ability that she unconsciously activates. It must have been a coincidence that their gaze was cut off at first, but the fact that Cento-san and Cien-san couldn’t detect Kaito-san and Tre-san even when you were supposed to be at a nearby stall means that Recognition Inhibition has been activated.]

[……It’s amazing if she can use it well…… but that is if she can train it?]

[When she tries to consciously activate it, Tre-san is completely unable to use Recognition Inhibition. She’s at a level where even Kuro-san had given up on having her learn it, so she can seriously only use it while not being conscious about it……]

Recognition Inhibition Magic on the level of Alice’s…… In other words, she can use Recognition Inhibition that can even deceive the Six Kings, but she wasn’t able to use it as she pleases and was only able to use it when she wasn’t conscious of it…… It’s too troublesome.

She really is a professional stray child……

[That’s why Kuro-san had been giving Tre-san special accessories to keep track of her movements. The necklace that Kaito-san got is the same type…… That’s why Kuro-san was able to know Kaito-san’s movements.]

[I see……]

It was because this necklace was originally made for Tre-san huh……

[……Can’t Cento-san and Cien-san find Tre-san with these accessories though?]

[That’s impossible for them. They are made in a way that in exchange for being able to brush aside all Recognition Inhibition abilities, you wouldn’t be able to detect the location of these accessories unless you have magic techniques on the level of Kuro-san. Lowering the performance of these accessories would make it so other people could also detect it, which means that Tre-san may be in danger of being captured by someone.]

Tre-san is only a strong character when it comes to getting lost. I think it would be better if we just physically tie her up with a rope or something, but well, it’s terrifying how even if we do that, she would probably be able to somehow slip away.

[When her Recognition Inhibition activates, it would be on my level, so even with Cento-san and Cien-san’s strengths, it’s impossible for them not to lose sight of her…… Tre-san is a genius at being a lost child.]

[…..A genius at something you wouldn’t want to be.]

[……Indeed, it’s hard to scold Esteemed Sister Tre either since she really had no bad intentions about it.]

At Alice’s mutterings, Cien-san and I agreed and continued to look at Tre-san with astounded eyes as she was being scolded by Cento-san.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Thinking about it again, since she went out of her way to make such an accessory…… even Kuro might lose sight of her if she lets her guard down.]

? ? ? : [She really gets out of her sight as if she suddenly disappeared, so Cento-san and Cien-san are both having a hard time.]
