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

In the study of the Albert Duchy, Lilia, having finished her work for the time being, took a breather while sipping the tea Lunamaria had prepared for her.

[……Phew, being the head of a faction really is a lot of work. Thanks to my growing connections, the work itself has become easier, but the scale of influence each decision carries is so large that I have to be very careful.]

[It truly has become the largest faction among the nobles of the Symphonia Kingdom before anyone even noticed. As expected of Milady, such unprecedented speed in her rise. This humble Lunamaria cannot stop her tears of emotion and her mocking sneers.]

[You’re clearly laughing over there…… Well, most of it is thanks to Kaito-san’s influence though.]

[Speaking of Miyama-sama, it seems he has been running wild in Archlesia Empire lately.]

At present, Lilia held a position that could be called, both in name and reality, the most powerful noble in the Symphonia Kingdom. Naturally, compared to before, the scale of information that reached her was on an entirely different level.

Her connections to other countries had also been steadily increasing, so information about movements within Archlesia Empire arrived at an early stage. Reports concerning the Ritch Barony and matters involving the Sharon County had also reached her…… including, of course, their cause.

[He really hasn’t changed at all. I can imagine the hardships Her Majesty Chris and Lady Eris must be facing, and I sincerely sympathize with them from the bottom of my heart. Still, on the other hand, I feel a little relieved…… Recently, because so many things have been happening in Archlesia Empire, things over here have been quite peaceful, which I’m grateful for.]

[The benefits are tremendous after all. Hamilton Marquisdom, Ritch Barony, and Sharon County have all suddenly leapt into the spotlight, and their power as noble households will surely rise accordingly. Archlesia Empire as a whole is experiencing remarkable economic growth, and with multiple merchant companies in motion, commercial activity is lively and vibrant. Truly wonderful profits…… yes, if only each incident occurred one by one…… Why does that person cause major upheavals in multiple places simultaneously, like coordinated acts of terror? Or perhaps that is precisely what makes Miyama-sama who he is……]

Since it was Archlesia Empire where Kaito had been stirring up various events recently, things on Lilia’s side could be described as relatively calm and peaceful. Seeing Lilia speak as though savoring that peace, Lunamaria gave a wry smile.

In truth, the benefits brought by Kaito were astonishing. Albert Duchy, which until two years ago had even been mocked as a Duchy in name only, had now become the greatest and most powerful noble household in the Symphonia Kingdom, largely due to Kaito’s influence.

[In any case, I’m grateful that gentle days have continued recently.]

[……Is that so? Then, it must be about time……]

[……About time for what?]

[No, it’s just that whenever Milady begins savoring peace like this, Miyama-sama comes to strike at the stomach of the Milady he loves with all his might. I was merely thinking that perhaps a painful blow is due soon……]

[Would you please stop saying such terrifying things!?]

Certainly, Lilia’s recent days have been peaceful…… Well, strictly speaking, various things had happened at Kaito’s birthday party not long ago, but setting that aside, things had been comparatively calm since then.

At the very least, no sudden, stomach-wrenching incidents had occurred for several months, so it would not be wrong to say she was at ease…… or rather, off her guard.

[Milady, it seems there is a certain phrase famous in the otherworld…… “the calm before the storm”……]

[……That isn’t the case here, right? There’s nothing…… there shouldn’t be anything, right?]

At the very least, there were no signs of any kind. But if such things could be predicted, she would never have suffered so many bouts of stomachaches up until now.

Around the time Lilia and Lunamaria were having that exchange, in the special space located in the backyard of Kaito’s house, Nebula and Canalis were conversing.

[Ahh, so permission has been granted.]

[∇∮◆￡ looked as if she finally did it…… ah, right, over here, she goes by the name Tiana, doesn’t she? In any case, Tiana was delighted. Well, she must have been waiting eagerly for this, so I understand how she feels.]

[I only hope she doesn’t get too excited. That child is generally reliable, but when her tension rises, she occasionally makes mistakes.]

[Yeah, she messes up once in a while. In a way, even that berserk mode of hers is just the result of getting overly excited…… Well, she’s basically just going to meet Kaito-sama, so there shouldn’t be any problems, right?]

[Indeed. However, please make sure she adjusts herself properly to Master’s schedule.]

[Understood. As for the date, I’ll confirm it with Kaito-sama and decide accordingly.]

Unbeknownst to Lilia…… quietly, the visit of the Bipolar God Tiana had been decided. However, that was not all.

At almost the same time, in the Demon Realm, Kuromueina and Alice stood gazing up at a large facility before them.

[It’s finished~~ The amusement park.]

[All that attention to detail really paid off. It turned out quite nicely. Now we just need to hold a grand opening event.]

[Should we invite various people from each realm? For the Human Realm, the rulers…… and Lilia-chan should be fine, right?]

[Yeah, Lilia-san seems like the obvious choice. And we can invite Hina-san, Aoi-san, and the others around Kaito-san too.]

The improvements to the amusement park powered by the mysterious energy Alice had once received from Shallow Vernal were complete. With Kuromueina’s investment and provision of land, an amusement park had been built in a corner of the Demon Realm, and they were discussing its opening event. Naturally, Lilia’s name had come up as a candidate to represent the Human Realm.

And at nearly the same time, God Realm, Sanctuary, Shallow Vernal nodded with a somewhat satisfied expression, with Makina standing beside her.

[……It’s complete.]

[It turned out even better than I expected. It really feels like an onsen town adapted to fit this world, doesn’t it?]

[Yes. This way, after going on a date with Kaito-san, there will be no problem passing it to Lilia.]

[That’s true. Even so, onsen huh…… how nice. I want to go with my beloved child too.]

Here as well, an onsen town they had painstakingly created over time had been completed. And as usual, Shallow Vernal intended to bestow it upon Lilia after using it for her date with Kaito…… Truly, it could be called the calm before the storm…… as a storm of stomachaches was about to descend upon Lilia.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Witness, that is the Ultimate Stomachache Warrior…… Amazing, isn’t she? A simultaneous assault from Otherworld, the Demon Realm, and the God Realm…… She really is on a whole different level.]
