I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace - Chapter 1730

In the office in the royal castle of Hydra Kingdom, Laguna and Lilia were seriously discussing the measures they would take in the party and their predictions for future development.

[We’ve decided to some extent on our responses to the questions, but how do we deal with further situations……]

[That would be difficult. Setting aside what had just happened, it might become challenging for your Majesty Laguna to respond promptly once the party begins, and in the first place, depending on the situation, there’s also a possibility that we may be unable to handle it ourselves……]

[That’s true. That said, with Eden-sama’s arrival, it may be difficult for the Gods alone to handle the situation. Well, even if we were there, it doesn’t really mean we could cope with the situation……]

It’s a matter of course, but as the King, Laguna will become busy once the party starts. It might be challenging for her to act promptly with her quick wit, as she did during the sunset incident. However, even though Lilia is assisting Laguna, being a noble from another country, it would be difficult for her to directly intervene in the events occurring in Hydra Kingdom.

It would have been great if nothing had happened during the party, but the two know that they can’t be very optimistic in their current situation, making them very worried.

At that moment, one of the maids arrived.

[Your Majesty, excuse my intrusion. Underworld King-sama wishes to see your Majesty……]

[Nh, Kuromueina-sama!? Lead her in at once!]

Although surprised by the words the maid announced, Laguna and Lilia’s expressions lit up. The reason for Kuromueina’s unexpected arrival, even though she initially didn’t intend to come for their Founding Festival, was something they can infer.

And that she would likely be their salvation……

Not long afterward, Kuromueina arrives in the office.

[Laguna-chan, I’m sorry for coming on such short notice.]

[No, we welcome your visit.]

[Well, I originally didn’t plan to come, but after seeing that happening a little while ago, I thought Shiro is up to various things again…… Arehh? Why are you here, Lilia-chan?]

[A- Ahaha…… Why indeed?]

Kuromueina, who was puzzled by the presence of Lilia, who shouldn’t have much to do with the Hydra Kingdom, tilted her head in wonder. However, upon seeing Lilia’s wry smile, she seemed to understand what was going on, thinking “Ahh, I see, the usual huh……”. It appeared that Kuromueina was well aware of Lilia’s tendency to get caught up in trouble.

[……Well, for the time being, I’d like you to explain various things to me. More specifically, I’d like you to tell me what Shiro has been doing today.]

[I understand. To start……]

Having just arrived, Kuromueina wasn’t aware of the detailed situation, so she asked for an explanation from Laguna and Lilia about the events of the day.

After hearing about the events that were probably caused by Shallow Vernal and how they were handled, Kuromueina let out a big sigh.

[……Haahhh…… I had a hunch this was the case, but Shiro really is in quite high spirits huh. She usually tries to be a bit more restrained and considerate of the impact of her movements, but it seems like her excitement has gotten the better of her self-control. Well, even though they went around together during the Six Kings Festival, Shiro hadn’t actually really had the opportunity to participate in a festival like this before, especially not as a date with Kaito-kun…… and well, her excitement had risen really high huh……]

Kuromueina herself is aware that she was quite excited when she went around the festival with Kaito back in the Six Kings Festival, so to some extent, she understands how Shallow Vernal feels.

[Well, what I’m concerned about for now is the movements of Earth God huh? For the time being, I want to know what she’s up to, so I’ll go there and ask her.]

[T- Thank you very much. Your presence really helps us.]

Laguna breathed a sigh at Kuromueina’s words. For the time being, it was reassuring that Kuromueina was heading towards Makina, alleviating their greatest concern.

With this, Laguna felt a sense of relief, thinking that she could focus on the party to some extent…… However, that relief shattered into pieces when a knight rushed in moments later, reporting that “a massive mountain had suddenly appeared at the location indicated on the map they were provided earlier”.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [So it finally arrived huh…… Mt Fuji……]
