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

Chapter 1701: Noontime Founding Festival with Shallow Vernal ⑧

The gondola, which offers a panoramic view of the Founding Festival from above, was truly impressive. Although it was supposed to be a 20-minute ride, I felt like we were on it for quite a long time, but in any case, we finally completed one full circuit and returned.

During the ride, I was wondering why many people were still looking up at the sky, and there were more people in a posture like they were praying than before.

At first I tilted my head, not understanding what was going on at all, but then it occurred to me that their actions are probably related to Shiro-san.

Like for example, she probably made 3D letters appear again. The Gods must have followed up in that case, but I suppose there are some people who realized something and started praying?

[……It’s a bit early, but I think it’s about time we think about where we’re going to have lunch.]

[I’ve been waiting for those words.]

[Unnn? What do you mean?]

I tilted my head looking at Shiro-san, who reacted looking somewhat eager to eat. This is something obvious, but Shiro-san doesn’t require lunch, and if anyone’s gonna need lunch, it would be me.

In fact, Shiro-san usually only eats snacks with her tea. It was a little strange that she reacted so well to lunch, as she isn’t particularly fond of eating like Alice.

[I’ve prepared a bento for our lunch.]

[Eh? Shiro-san made it?]

[Yes. It was written that having a homemade bento is important for a couple on a lovey-dovey date, so I made sure I prepared one.]

Oh my, it seems that Shiro-san has made a bento for me. A homemade bento from one’s girlfriend certainly is a situation that men typically appreciate, and I like it as well.

This is something I’m slightly, no, I’m really looking forward to. I’m not worried about the taste. Shiro-san is almost omnipotent, a description that is neither a metaphor nor an exaggeration. She’s capable of doing just about anything if she tries. I’ve also heard from Kuro that she can handle things perfectly, even if she’s never done them before, as if she were more skilled than a seasoned pro.

And so, I have no doubt that she can make a delicious bento, and I’m also interested in what kind of bento Shiro-san has made. It seems like she’s using romance manga as reference materials, but with Shiro-san as the creator, her bento might have some surprising twists as well.

[Thank you! I’m quite looking forward to it, and I’m quite excited about it.]

[If you have such high expectations, it’s definitely worth it for me as well.]

[Ahh~~ But where would be the best place for us to eat then?]

This is a matter of course, but no matter how busy the Founding Festival is, not every corner of the Royal Capital is packed with people. If we search for it, we should be able to find a suitable place to eat lunch.

For example, there may be parks off the main streets, or places with benches for resting.

The problem is that I haven’t been to Hydra Kingdom’s Royal Capital very often, so I couldn’t immediately think of such a place.

[Indeed. A place with a good view, perhaps overlooking the sea, where the two of us can enjoy a peaceful meal together.]

[Ahh~~ Since the sea is so close by, it certainly would be nice to eat while looking at the sea. However, as for whether such a convenient place exists……]

Just being able to see the sea and have a nice view makes me think such a place would be quite popular, and if I were to exclude spots not open to the public like the House of Parliament where Alice brought me before, it might be difficult for us to find a quiet, secluded place for just the two of us.

No, there might be hidden gem places like that, but given our lack of local knowledge and the fact that we can’t readily think of regular dining places, I don’t think we can easily find such a spot.

Well, that’s what I was thinking…… but shortly after, a woman who looked like a God with long blonde hair in a big ponytail approached us.

[……Please excuse me for interrupting your conversation Shallow Vernal-sama, Miyama Kaito-sama, we have prepared a place for you to borrow as you desire.]

[……Ah…… Is that so……]

[Fumu, then let’s eat there. God of Ocean, I entrust guiding us to you.]

[Hahh!]

Ahh, so she’s God of Ocean-san huh…… Yellowish, somewhat rich-toned blonde hair, orange eyes, and white and orange clothing…… She sure doesn’t give off the vibe of a Sea God.

No, this is completely our first time meeting each other, so there might be some other factor that really makes her the God of Ocean…… but well, for the time being, I’d say it’s safe to say we’ve got exceptional support, so I suppose we don’t need to worry about finding a place to eat our bento.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [A Sea God that has blonde hair, a ponytail, and orange eyes…… I feel like she’s trying to model as a character wearing an orange swimsuit.]
