I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)

Finished greeting Lillywood-san, I next looked for Human Realm’s rulers…… Ryze-san, Chris-san and Laguna-san, thinking of greeting them, but by coincidence, I saw them together.

This was just right. The rulers were probably talking to each other, and it was the perfect tto say my greetings. As I approached, I eventually heard their voices.

[Good gracious, I suppose it’s to be expected of Miyama-kun. It’s truly impressive seeing all these distinguished figures naturally gathering like this.]

[Indeed. Even at the Festival of Heroes, you wouldn’t see such a scene, really making you realize how incredible Miyama-sama’s connections are.]

[No, seriously though, I don’t know what’s going on with him…… It’s not like they intentionally went to meet them or had them introduced by someone; the fact that they just naturally encountered each other is just absurd.]

Right after I thought they seemed to be talking aboutand was feeling slightly awkward about it, the atmosphere in the area suddenly changed with Ryze-san’s words.

[It’s truly remarkable, but to think that our Symphonia Kingdom maintains a good relationship with such a Miyama-kun, as a King, I couldn’t help feeling proud. Even among those invited this time, the majority of those from the Human Realm are affiliated with our Symphonia Kingdom, and even among the invited nobles, ours are the most numerous.]

[……Oya oya, what are you saying? Symphonia Kingdom is just adjacent to the land where Miyama-sama’s mansion is located, so he would naturally have many acquaintances there. It’s rather presumptuous to attribute a stroke of luck as ssort of achievement of your nation. What matters here is how closely one is personally acquainted with Miyama-sama.]

[Indeed. Furthermore, if one were to boast about the environment, wouldn’t it be thanks to the efforts of young Lilia, who graciously accepted and hosted Kaito when he arrived in this world, and treated him warmly at the mansion? If young Ryze is also a King, rather than relying on your sister’s achievements, you should instead take pride in your own achievements…… Well, if we’re talking about which King has the closest personal relationship with Kaito, it would probably be me……]

Somehow, it felt like sparks flew between the three of them just now. Ahh, on a side note, although the land where my house is located exists within Symphonia Kingdom’s Royal Capital, it seems to be treated as separate from the Kingdom itself, almost like a kind of independent state. So, I’m technically not considered a citizen of Symphonia Kingdom, but more like a neighbor…… Well, as Alice says, “That’s more of a foreign relations affair, so Kaito-san doesn’t need to worry about it.”, so I just don’t mind the technicalities and think of myself as living in Symphonia Kingdom’s Royal Capital……

Well, that aside, I think their current state of affairs is that the rulers are probably checking each other out, or perhaps, a battle to assert dominance over the other countries has begun.

I suppose things like honor and appearance are important in cases like these, and all three of them probably want to gain a mental advantage in such situations. It’s just…… I’d prefer if they don’t bringup in their conversation. It makes it even harder forto approach them.

[Well, you see, I basically visit Kaito’s house once a month and have tea with him, so we’re pretty close.]

[Isn’t your original purpose to have a mock battle with Duchess Lilia? It feels a bit presumptuous to barge in without being invited by Miyama-sama.]

[She’s right. Miyama-kun is kind, so he wouldn’t be unkind if you suddenly visited. In fact, one could even say you’re taking advantage of his kindness by doing that.]

[Hmm, what’s this, what’s this? Both of you look as if you’re the closest to Kaito.]

[Oh my, I wonder what you could be saying? At the very least, I’m proud to say that I’ve exchanged more letters with Miyama-sama than anyone else here.]

[Even if you act all proud about your letter exchanges with him, we’ll just feel troubled. If you’re going to say that, Miyama-kun is essentially going to marry Lilianne in the future, so one could say we’re practically family, right?]

……What should I do? All three of them started appealing that they were the one closest to me, making it really hard forto talk to them! I mean, if I talked to them like that and they asked“Then, who do you think you’re closest with?”, I’d be really embarrassed to answer.

To be honest, I’d really like to put off talking to them for later, but I can’t really talk to others without talking to them first…… As I was thinking about that though…… a situation that changed the air appeared once again.

[No, I’m……]

[I’m the one who……]

[As expected, it’swho is……]

[…………….]

[ [ [ Ah…… ] ] ]

Yes, that person was standing there nearby before we knew it. A genuine God with a divine smile on her lips and a ring with twenty wings attached to it…… I could see the faces of the three instantly pale, their blood seemingly draining away in an instant.

[……We shouldn’t have conversations that presto decide Miyama-kun’s will, yes!]

[T- That’s right! Who he’s close with is something Kaito should decide, not something for us to impose! Making such assumptions is disrespectful to Kaito!!!]

[Yes, exactly! We can’t cause any trouble for Miyama-sama, and while we are grateful for the fact that we are allowed to interact with him in ssmall way, let’s not say anything unnecessary!]

Seeing the three of them completely change their tune and speak in desperate voices, Eden-san remained silent for a moment before nodding once and then disappearing…… It seems like they’ve judged that they’re safe, as the three of them were patting the chests with expressions of deep relief.

Unnn. No, I do feel sorry for the three of them as they seemed like they had just met with an accident, but still, I’m somewhat grateful to Eden-san for diverting them away from that strange flow of conversation.

<Afterword>

Makina : [Good grief, it’s completely inevitable to be blinded by the majesty of my beloved child, but moderation is important. It would be great if they could maintain moderation.]

Serious-senpai : [Eh? You are talking about moderation……?]
