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

Perhaps, because we had gained momentum from winning our first match, but the pair of Alice and I continued to steadily rack up wins. Of course, Alice’s skills were amazing, but I was also in good condition, so I think I did pretty well.

It’s just, well, how should I say this…… I guess this happening couldn’t be helped, but it felt surreal when it turned out to be a match between Alice vs Alice.

In the end though, Anima’s movements were slightly awkward, as if she finds it difficult to control her physical abilities, and that became an opening that allowed our pair to win.

As a result…… The pair of Alice and I became the overall winner of this volleyball game.

[We did it! Kaito-san!]

[Yeah, it’s thanks to you, Alice. Thanks.]

[No, no, you did very great in the match, Kaito-san. This is our victory!]

[Right.]

It was only a game, so there were no prizes, but it still feels nice that we were able to win. As I was sharing my joy with Alice, I suddenly felt like there was something tingling in the air.

Looking to the side, I saw that Shiro-san and Alice…… the real body, looking a little nervous. It’s as if they were preparing to deal with something that’s about to happen…… I wonder what’s with them?

There wasn’t anything strange that happened, right? We all had a good time playing beach volleyball, and there shouldn’t have been a moment when things got ugly.

There were many exchanges that could have been famous on the internet, and it wasn’t like anyone used any strength that was unnaturally outstanding. In fact, Kuro and Isis-san had smiles on their faces…… but only Shiro-san and Alice had this strange atmosphere around them.

As I was tilting my head at that strange situation, the costumed Alice approached.

[Well then, Kaito-san. My role has ended, so I’ll return back to the main body~~]

[Eh? Ahh, alright.]

[Welly well then~~]

Leaving those words, the costumed Alice disappeared, as if she had never been there in the first place. After seeing her off, I returned my gaze to Shiro-san and Alice…… Arehh? The strange atmosphere around them disappeared?

Was it just my imagination? I guess what I thought was just a guess based on their facial expressions……

As I was thinking about this, Kuro and the others started talking to me with words of praise for my good plays, and the conversation returned back to the volleyball. Before I knew it, Shiro-san and Alice had joined in the conversation, so the question I had earlier disappeared into the back of my mind before I knew it.

As she watched Kaito talking with Kuromueina and the others, Alice fell silent for a moment before she muttered to herself.

[……She went home huh. Just like normal.]

[……She went home huh. Nothing happened.]

Shallow Vernal, who was standing next to her, was silent for a moment before responding. The two of them now, to put it bluntly…… was slightly confused.

This is because, contrary to their expectations, the costumed Alice…… Eden has gone back like normal……

The two of them had been on the lookout for Eden’s outburst earlier. She had been paired up with Kaito, and they had won the tournament, so they were sure that her tension would be at an all-time high…… If she was going to get out of control, this would definitely be such a moment.

That’s why they were so tense, ready to react at the first sign of such a thing happening…… but as it turned out, Eden didn’t go berserk.

[How should I say this…… This result kinda makes me anxious instead.]

[I know exactly how Shallow Vernal-sama feels. I’m in the same boat…… Even if she didn’t go out of control, I had expected that she would try to forcibly stay…… but she didn’t even complain.]

[Yes, this feels strange. This should have been the best outcome possible, but I just couldn’t comprehend what happened.]

[Rather, it was just that she usually goes too far out of control as easily as flipping a switch. It’s quite tragic how we get anxious when she doesn’t go out of control instead.]

Yes, if they only talk about the result, Eden not going out of control and Kaito not finding out Eden’s true identity, it can be said that everything went off without a hitch.

However, considering how out of control she usually was, it isn’t unreasonable for them to feel uneasy when nothing happened.

[As a result, even though she didn’t go out of control, I feel like I’ve been swung around instead. Well, this really isn’t a bad result…… All’s well that ends well, I guess.]

[I guess so. I’ve caused you a lot of trouble. I’ll make it up to you later.]

[No, it’s alright. This matter was 100% due to that crazy god…… For the time being, let’s switch gears and play.]

Although I still feel a little disappointed, there is no doubt that it was a good result. After summing up the matter, Alice and Shallow Vernal exchanged glances, before they switched their thoughts and headed towards where Kaito and the others were.

<Afterword>

Makina : [Ahh~~ That was fun! I didn’t have much experience, but it’s always fun to move around and play! My child was also very cool! He’s just so awesome!]

Serious-senpai : [……How very unexpected. I thought you would go off on a rampage right after you won, saying stuff like “My beloved child~~”……]

Makina : [Haahhh……]

Serious-senpai : [Eh? What’s with that sigh?]

Makina : [Serious-senpai, I’m about to say something very important, so make sure you remember it.]

Serious-senpai : [Unnn?]

Makina : [……”Such a thing isn’t something Alice would ever say.”]

Serious-senpai : [Hyiihhh…… Ahh, yes! I’m sorry! (The light in her eyes completely disappeared!?)]

Makina : [Unnn, unnn, it’s okay if you understand. Now then, let’s make a poster out of my beloved child’s gallant figure and decorate this room.]

Serious-senpai : [……(A- Ahh, I see…… The reason why she didn’t run out of control is that “doing such a thing would destroy her imitation of Alice” huh…… She’s quite serious when it’s related to Alice huh? How should I say this…… It’s just not as obvious as when she’s with Kaito…… but her Yandere mindset has always been default huh…… She’s seriously scary.)]
