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

Chapter 1540 - Omen ②

Finished reading the letter from Amel, Chris had a complicated look on her face.

[I can’t quite figure out what kind of goods they are dealing with, but it doesn’t seem like they’re going to sell foodstuffs.]

[The Wingeds does sell feathers ornaments and other such accessories, so wouldn’t it be accessories as well?]

[……It is possible……. but this sworn friend, this is definitely Miyama-sama.]

[Yes, from the information we have gathered, it is certain that Amel-sama calls Miyama Kaito-sama “sworn friend”. However, it’s a bit surprising. Amel-sama aside, for the other Wingeds to approve of this…… This doesn’t happen often.]

[Indeed, with the nature of the Wingeds, I don’t think they would welcome their Chief befriending someone of another species……]

Chris nodded quietly at the words of her advisor. The Wingeds is an extremely closed-off tribe, with a prevailing belief to minimize interaction with other species.

Amel, being their tribe’s chief, occasionally receives invitations and participates in festivals to some extent due to her position. But even so, she still has limited active involvement with other species.

[……In fact, even with the information we gathered at the beginning, it seemed that Amel-sama had been very considerate when associating with Miyama Kaito-sama, right? She did not invite him to the Wingeds’ village, and instead kept her relationship with him personal, so from what I see, I got the impression that she was careful to avoid attracting the attention of the other Wingeds.]

[Considering that, it would indeed be surprising for her to open a stall openly at a festival as important as the Founding Festival…… No…… I see how it is……]

[Your Majesty?]

Although she does refer to Kaito as her sworn friend, for Amel, who seemed to be maintaining her position as the Chief of the Wingeds and had drawn a line she wouldn’t cross, to have planned on setting up a stall together with Kaito in a place where they could potentially be seen by other Wingeds, it was a somewhat questionable action, but halfway through, Chris seemed to have noticed something.

[……I guess she no longer saw the need to hide it anymore. Perhaps, Amel-dono has found out about a certain thing about Miyama-sama.]

[A certain thing?]

[……That Miyama-sama has received the True Blessing of the God of Creation, Shallow Vernal-sama.]

[The True Blessing of God of Creation-sama————Ah, I- I see, it’s because the Wingeds……!?]

[Yes, the Winged is a species of extremely religious people. They live in harmony with nature, including the sky and the earth. They hold deep reverence for the Goddess of Life-sama, and their faith extends similarly to Shallow Vernal-sama, who is  the pinnacle of the Gods. In other words, for the Wingeds, Miyama-sama is a great being chosen by the Gods, so regardless of whether he is from another tribe, they would be in favor of their Chief associating with him.] 

As Chris explained, the Winged is a species of extremely religious people. They are so religious that they make it their duty to visit the Temple of the God of Fertility, the subordinate of the God of Life, Life, once a month without fail, and they always offer prays to Life and Shallow Vernal when they wake up in the morning and when they go to bed at night.

No matter how well-connected the Singularity, Kaito may be to the political authorities in the world, her tribe’s people would normally have been opposed to their Chief associating with someone of another species, but with Kaito being blessed by Shallow Vernal, it would be a different story.

Kaito, who has received the Blessing of the Great God worshiped by their entire species, is regarded as a God-like being by the Wingeds. Rather, they would instead consider it a splendid and honorable thing that their Chief, Amel, has a close relationship with Kaito. Therefore, when Amel learned that Kaito had received the Blessing of Shallow Vernal, all the constraints regarding her interactions with Kaito disappeared almost entirely, allowing her to deepen her friendship with him as she pleased.

[Ah, he was as outrageous as ever. While it may not have been intentional, this now makes it possible for him to interact with the difficult-to-approach Wingeds in a nearly perfect manner.]

[……Yes, seriously, I guess that’s to be expected of Miyama-sama. It’s likely that if Miyama-sama were to visit the Wingeds’ village, he would be welcomed. Considering that their Chief, Amel-dono, holds him in such high regard as her sworn friend, Miyama-sama may be the only being that isn’t a God capable of freely interacting with the Wingeds.]

For the Wingeds, with whom it’s extremely difficult to have any interaction, let alone have a close relationship, even in the Human Realm, he has become a welcomed presence. Chris could only wryly smile at how much of a singularity Kaito is being as usual…… but then, she seemed to have realized something.

[……However, wait a moment. Suppose, hypothetically speaking…… if the items that Amel-dono’s stall handled were accessories, and if Miyama-sama was involved in the production of those accessories……]

[……That doesn’t sound good, Your Majesty. I’m afraid I have shivers running down my spine right now.]

[Y- Yes, my hands are shaking at that thought too. This doesn’t look good. If we assume that they’re handmade accessories, it’s unlikely that a large quantity can be prepared…… and worst-case scenario, a conflict could occur……]

Yes,  it was different from that time in Symphonia Kingdom. That time, he was only selling baby castellas. Food…… But this time, as far as she can tell from the letter, it isn’t likely that they would be selling food.

If they were to sell accessories just like the other Wingeds had done until now, there would be an extremely large amount of people that would want them.

[If that happens, wouldn’t the Imperial Capital be obliterated?]

[……F- For the time being, we need to confirm the details as soon as possible…… We have no other choice but to take desperate measures. Rather than asking the difficult Amel-dono, I’d rather ask Miyama-sama directly. Prepare me some stationery!]

[Understood!]

As she sensed the possibility that something terrible was about to happen, Chris felt pain in her stomach.

<Afterword>

Makina : […….Handmade items…… made by my beloved child?]
