I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace - Chapter 1524

1524 - Extra Chapter: Isis Episode ~ ~ Future ① ~ ~

<Author’s Notes>

From here on out is the future arc. No seriousness anymore.

Today, I was going to stay overnight at Isis-san’s house, so I came to her castle in the Land of Death.

I arrived in front of the familiar gate, which I had visited many times before. Waiting there for me is Isis-san, and when she saw me, she brightened up with a big smile and approached me.

[……Kaito…… Welcome.]

[Hello, Isis-san. I will be in your care today.]

[……Unnn…… If it’s Kaito…… you’re always welcome…… You coming to hang out with me…… makes me happy.]

[Hearing you feeling happy about that also makes me happy.]

Looking at Isis-san, who was really happy about my visit, I also felt happy and smiled. Right at that moment, Eul, who was at Isis-san’s feet, jumped up while wagging her tail. Catching her body, I lifted her up and embraced her.

[Ahaha, I see you’re also quite lively today, Eul.]

[Kyuu!]

[……I’m sure Eul is also…… very happy to meet Kaito.]

From what I’ve heard from Isis-san and Iris-san, Eul is so amazing that one can call her a genius, as she had apparently mastered magic at a considerable level. However, when she happily seeks affection from me or Isis-san, her appearance feels more like that of an adorable child.

In any case, I entered the castle with a warm welcome from Isis-san and Eul, before moving to the common room and taking a seat. After a while, Iris-san came over with tea and cake.

[Hello, Iris-san. I’m sorry for the intrusion.]

[Ahhh, welcome. You can take it easy. As I’ll be showcasing my skills for tonight’s dinner, feel free to have high expectations.]

[……Iris…… is really good at cooking…… and her meals are amazing.]

[Cooking has always just been a hobby, so I’m embarrassed to be praised like that.]

Placing tea and cake in front of me and Isis-san, even though Iris-san wears a wry smile in response to Isis-san’s words of praise, her expression shows a hint of happiness.

Then, after lightly chuckling when she saw Eul on my lap, she spoke.

[Well then, I will be excusing myself. Don’t cause too much trouble, Eulpecula.]

[Kyuu.]

After confirming that Eul firmly nodded her head, Iris-san slightly bowed and left the room.

[Speaking of which, you made a Blue Crystal Flower garden?]

[……Unnn…… Spica manages it…… It’s very beautiful…… Let’s go there together later.]

[I’m looking forward to it. Even so, with the increase in residents, the atmosphere of the castle certainly changed. It’s difficult to say how exactly it has changed, but I kinda feel that something changed in the castle’s overall atmosphere.]

[……Unnn…… I think…… that’s true…… Thanks to everyone coming here…… the whole castle seems to have become lively…… Every day has become enjoyable…… and I feel happy.]

For Isis-san, who has been living alone in this castle for so long, it must be a real joy to have multiple subordinates, including Iris-san, living in the same castle with her.

Seeing Isis-san really happy also makes me feel fulfilled…… I smiled, feeling that this is nice.

Thereupon, seeing my expression, Isis-san cutely tilted her head and curiously asked.

[……Kaito…… Is something the matter?]

[Ahh, no, it’s just, seeing Isis-san looking fulfilled makes me feel fulfilled too…… so I thought this feels nice.]

[……Unnn…… I understand…… that feeling very well…… I also feel that way…… when Kaito is happy…… I feel happy…… and when Kaito feels fulfilled…… I also feel fulfilled.]

[Somehow, being able to share the same feelings also feels good, don’t you think?]

[……Unnn! ……Being happy…… together with Kaito…… makes the happiness…… a lot greater.]

The smile on Isis-san’s face as she said that is truly dazzling, and her expression seems much brighter than when I first met her.

I’m totally convinced…… that the two nights and three days I would spend here with Isis-san would undoubtedly be enjoyable and filled with happiness.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……No seriousness anymore? No seriousness anymore? …….Eh? Why did you find it necessary to declare that here? ……Can I go home?]
