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

Chapter 1726: Evening Founding Festival with Shallow Vernal ⑨

<Author’s Notes>

I don’t have much time today, so today’s chapter is a bit short.

The musical is still going to go on for a bit longer, and even though I feel reluctant to part with it, considering that the sun had been literally stopped outside, it would be better to head to the clock tower as soon as possible.

And so, I’d like for us to get out of the tent and head for the clock tower right away…… but it’s quite difficult to get out of my seat when the seats are almost full.

[Fumu…… Kaito-san, you want to head to the clock tower already?]

[Ah, yes.]

[You really want to be alone with me and have some lovey-dovey time as soon as possible?]

[……T- That’s right.]

[I see, it can’t be helped then. Shall we move on?]

After confirming my nod, Shiro-san lightly waved her hand. Thereupon, the scenery suddenly changed and I found ourselves in front of the clock tower. It seems like we moved through teleportation…… The fact that I can sit normally even though the chair beneath me is gone, is it some kind of magic power? In any case, let’s stand up for now.

[Shallow Vernal-sama, this way please.]

[Ah, Chronois-san…… Ummm, are things alright?]

[Yeah, don’t worry. Thanks to King Hydra’s quick thinking, there’s almost no confusion. You don’t have to worry, Miyama, just enjoy your time with Shallow Vernal-sama.]

[……I understand.]

With just my few words, Chronois-san seemed to have guessed what I meant and explained what I wanted to know. It seems that thanks to Laguna-san’s skillful handling, there hasn’t been any confusion among the citizens. As far as I can tell from what she said afterwards, it doesn’t sound like it would be bad if the sun doesn’t set immediately, which made me feel a bit relieved.

[I mean, the clock tower is pretty big up close…… Shall we go in then?]

[Yes.]

While this time we were granted special access, entry towards this clock tower isn’t allowed during the Festival, but since it’s generally introduced as a date spot for couples, it seems to be designed with tourism in mind.

The stairs inside are gentle and easy to climb, and the handrails are securely attached, so there’s no need to worry about falling down.

After climbing the stairs for a while, we arrived at the spacious observation floor. There was a large sofa-like chair and a large window with a perfect view of the sunset and the sea.

[Ohh, this is quite the picturesque scene. It’s just right…… Or rather, it’s adjusted to be just right, but the sunset reflecting on the sea is beautiful, isn’t it?]

[Is this…… a view suitable for couples to see?]

[Well, the mood is perfect.]

Yes, it’s a great date spot because the view is really spectacular. Sitting on that sofa and watching such a sunset with Shiro-san really seems to make a nice and lovely atmosphere.

However, there’s something I’m a bit concerned about…… this sunset, when does it move? I mean, I told her we would be night viewing too…… but I hope it won’t instantly turn into night when Shiro-san feels like it…… It would be great if that’s the case.

Serious-senpai : [……I felt like I could see where that Optimism Flag was landing.]
