I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1670 – Re: Founding Festival ②

Chapter 1670 – Re: Founding Festival ②

In an office in the Albert Duchy in Symphonia Kingdom, Lilia exhales lightly after finis.h.i.+ng her paperwork. Right at that moment, Lunamaria placed a cup of tea on Lilia’s desk.

[Thank you for your hard work, you’ve reached a point where you can pause your work, right?]

[Yes, thank you for staying late with me too, Luna.]

[Fufu, I’m expecting overtime pay, okay? I’ve also told my mother I’m going to stay the night, so please lend me a room.]

[Ahh, in that case, you can use the guest room next to Aoi-san and Hina-san’s.]

[Ah, isn’t that a pretty nice room? Guess I’ll be sleeping well tonight.]

While Lunamaria usually commutes from home, there are times, especially during busy periods, when she stays overnight. As Lilia’s exclusive maid, Lunamaria is basically busy when Lilia is busy,  especially during hectic times.

This time, Lilia had to expedite several tasks in advance due to her planned partic.i.p.ation in Hydra Kingdom’s Founding Festival from tomorrow onwards, so they had more work than usual.

[For the time being, this completes all the work that needs to be done before the Founding Festival, right?]

[Indeed. For Hydra Kingdom’s Founding Festival this year, we can directly teleport to their Capital using Teleportation Magic, so getting there fortunately won’t take much time. As I finished up the work at this hour, I should be able to get a good night’s sleep today.]

Normally, during the Founding Festival, a Teleportation Inhibition Barrier is placed over the entire capital for anti-terrorism measures, rendering direct teleportation impossible. However, Hydra Kingdom is the most advanced nation among the three countries, and this is evident in various aspects.

This time, by utilizing the latest City-wide Barrier Magic, they’ve introduced a new technology that allows Teleportation to certain sections of the city, where people who carry a Pa.s.sage Recognition Magic Tool, provided by the country, are able to make use of teleportation. Thanks to these advancements, they don’t need to arrive early or stay overnight in Hydra Kingdom.

[Now, we just hope nothing else will happen on the day of the event. Isn’t that right, Milady?]

[Can you not speak of words that make me anxious? Well, aren’t things going to be alright this time? The publicization of the First Hero’s message certainly will be of great interest, but there doesn’t seem to be any indication of Kaito-san’s involvement in particular……]

[When Miyama-sama gets involved with something, things won’t end peacefully, doesn’t it? Well, it’s something I wholeheartedly agree with but……]

[No, how should I say this…… It’s just that when Kaito-san gets involved in something, I have this feeling that unexpected events not in the original plan are more likely to happen. In fact, as long as he doesn’t get involved, everything should be fine. The attendees are already known in advance, and the ceremony’s progress is well planned, so unexpected events would normally not occur…… or so it should be……]

Yes, the Founding Festival is a major event for a country, so every country would obviously make full preparations for it. Even if such an unforeseen event were to occur, it would be at a level that could be adequately handled onsite.

However, when Kaito is involved in it, there’s a high possibility that a being with extremely large influence, such as the Six Kings or the Supreme G.o.ds, will make a move, so it’s not unusual for their mult.i.tude of countermeasures to go awry.

[However, Kaito-san isn’t running a stall this time, he’s simply partic.i.p.ating in the festival. Plus, the person accompanying him going around the festival has been decided in advance, which makes it unlikely that unexpected changes would occur. Unless they have a reason, like visiting Kaito-san’s stall, it’s unlikely for eminent figures like the Six Kings or the Supreme G.o.ds to suddenly appear.]

[Indeed, when you look at it that way, I suppose we may feel relieved this time.]

[Yes, that’s why I can also be at ease…………………… Arehh?]

[Milady?]

Lilia, a calm smile on her lips, seemed to think everything would be fine this time, but halfway through, for some reason, her words faltered, and after a moment, she tilted her head with a somewhat troubled expression on her face.

When Lunamaria, concerned about her behavior, asked about it, Lilia hesitated for a moment before speaking somewhat anxiously.

[……Errr, Luna? The person Kaito-san is going to go around the Founding Festival together with…… “Who was it again”?]

[Eh? What are you talking about, Milady? Miyama-sama properly informed us about this beforehand, didn’t he? You know, it’s…… errr…… Oya? That’s strange. I’m confident in my memory, but I seem to have completely forgotten about it. That being the case, shall we go and ask him?]

[Ahh, no, Kaito-san might already be asleep, so there’s no need for that. I can’t seem to remember either, but I am certain I heard about who he will be with beforehand, so it should be fine.]

It was inevitable that the two couldn’t remember who was accompanying Kaito. After all, the two of them were informed in advance by Kaito that he was planning to visit Hydra Kingdom’s Founding Festival with Alice.

However, in this dimension, such a premise had changed, resulting in their current state where “they know that Kaito will be accompanied by someone, but not being able to recall who that someone is”.

Nevertheless, Lilia and Lunamaria remained optimistic. They believed that since they had confirmed this in advance, there shouldn’t be any problems…… unaware that “s.h.i.+ro had presented Kaito the method of creating another dimension and going around with him, only after Kaito informed Lilia and the others”……

Serious-senpai : [I see, they have the memories of what had happened until the day before the Founding Festival, but the “Kaito going around with Alice” section in their memories seemed to have blurred…… Even so, as to be expected of the Strongest Stomachache Warrior…… With how optimistic Lilia is being, the Law of Stomachaches is gonna go strong in this one……]
