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

Chapter 1335 - Mamonaka Alyssa ⑤

When Alice explained to me about the Heart Tools, she said that the timing of awakening can be abrupt, and she was really right. As if by intuition, the name of my Heart Tool, its abilities, and how to use it came to my mind.

The name of my Heart Tool is Αναμνήσεις. It’s an ability that allows me to bestow a powerful buff to the person with whom I have spun a bond with, but besides that, it also allows me to summon a deceased person whom I recognized as having been together with me.

This is probably due to the fact that I have had the deaths of my mother and father drag me on for a long time, which is why it has a long effect time and has the ability to affect the deceased.

(T/N: Αναμνήσεις/Memories)

And there, I realized this the moment I awakened Αναμνήσεις. The members of the study group who fought alongside me during Shiro-san’s ordeal, even though they were only temporary memories, were indeed important people who were with me.

When I realized that the remnants of these women, whom I thought had disappeared, remained in my heart and could be recalled by using Αναμνήσεις, I involuntarily shed tears.

However, due to my skill level…… I could only call up one of them for a short time at the moment.

That’s why, I chose her. My best friend in that world with whom I’ve been together for the longest time, the person that left the strongest impression on me…… Mamonaka Alyssa……

The woman with long blonde hair, wearing sunglasses, who appeared in front of me was without a doubt Alyssa, and I could feel the tears forming from my eyes.

[……It’s been a while, Kaito-san.]

[Yeah.]

[I’m going to give my honest opinion…… Right now, I feel like I wanna die.]

[U- Unnn?]

Arehh? For some reason, she started saying strange things. As I was tilting my head, wondering what was going on, I saw her face behind the sunglasses blushing red.

[After all! I thought that would be the last time I’d be able to see you…… that’s why I said such a d*mn embarrassing line! I didn’t hear that there would be a Continue button around! I’m not at the level where my face feels like it’s on fire, I feel like my face has literally turned into fire!]

[……Pfft, ahaha.]

[No, this isn’t something to be laughing about!!!]

How should I say this…… Seeing Alyssa, who was acting just as I remembered her well, I mean, I know that it was obvious, but feeling convinced that it really was her, I couldn’t help but smile from relief.

“……Who the heck is that? She seems different from Shalltear?”

[Ahhh, errr, it would take a long to explain, so I’ll do it later…… Alyssa, for the time being, I need your help, so do you understand the situation?]

[……Yeah, I get the gist of the situation. We just need to beat that thing up, right? You can count on me. It’s exactly at this moment that I will show you my journalism!]

[You’re saying all that…… but how is this even related to journalism?]

I don’t think that’s the word you use, at least not in this situation. Alyssa has an extraordinary obsession with being a journalist though, so well, I guess I’ll just let that slide.

As I was thinking that, the destructive impulse stood up…… and it lunged at me, looking slightly angrier than before. I’m kinda feeling this protesting emotion from it, as if to tell me how dare I ignore it while doing all sorts of nonsense.

Thereupon, Alyssa stood in front of me, as if to protect me, holding two pistols in her hands.

[Please don’t make light of me. The current me is a personification of Kaito-san’s Heart Tool, and Kaito-san’s strength of heart is my strength. If you hadn’t been a match for Kaito-san, you have no chance of winning against me. Let me show you one of the 88 Journalist Secret Techniques…… “Gun-fu fighting”!!!]

No, why the heck is a journalist fighting with guns? Before such a tsukkomi was thrown out of my mouth though, Alyssa rushed forward, and just as she declared, she engaged the destructive impulse in close combat…… and with this “gun-fu” of hers, she overwhelmed the destructive impulse.

Since Alyssa is from my Heart Tool, her physical abilities in this space are the same as the current me, and on top of that, her sense of battle is completely different from mine, and so, the destructive impulse isn’t even able to strike back with either fists or feet, the damage it received continued to accumulate.

[Unfortunately, your heart had already been broken halfway through your fight with Kaito-san. With this, I bestow upon you a requiem.]

As Alyssa announced this, the two pistols she was holding disappeared, and a rainbow-colored bullet and a revolver-type gun appeared in her hand. I recognized that glow.

The bullet that Erina shot the giant dragon with in that battle in the Mental World.

[……”Wings of Bonds”.]

When Alyssa held up the gun loaded with the rainbow-colored bullet and pulled the trigger, the shining bullet, drawing a trajectory like wings spreading, pierced through the destructive impulse’s body and turned its body into particles of light.

Whether that means it has given in or not is something I don’t know about…… but what I’m sure about is that this settles it.

[……Whoa.]

[It seems that because you’re not accustomed to using it yet, it wore off after prolonged use.]

[I see…… I wanted to talk with you more……]

[It’s alright. Me and everyone else are in Kaito-san’s heart, so you can always talk to us if you call us with Αναμνήσεις again.]

[……I see, you’re right. Thanks. Also, welcome back, Alyssa.]

[……Yes!]

Hearing my words, Alyssa gave me a broad smile as her body turned into particles of light and was absorbed into my body.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [I see. Even though they look alike, she’s a different character from Alice.]

? ? ? : [Hohh, and what part of her is different then……]

Serious-senpai : [Unlike Alice, she hadn’t been twisted by the enormous amount of years, so her personality is somewhat more upfront.]

? ? ? : [……I see you’re seeking death.]

Serious-senpai : [Offu……]
