I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1985: Canalis

Chapter 1985: Ca.n.a.lis ②

If it was as Alice said, Jane-san being an Otherworld G.o.d, it would be a mystery where the letter had come, but the destination it was sent to was simply an address in Hydra Kingdom, and I was supposed to send a reply there.

Well, if she really were an omnipotent G.o.d, something like an address wouldn’t be a big deal, so that’s not really the issue. What’s important is figuring out what her true objective is, including the fact that she was part of the party from the very beginning.

From my personal impression, Jane-san doesn’t seem like a bad person. Although her facial muscles were dead, I didn’t sense any malice in our interactions; in fact, she seemed like a good person.

It’s completely based on intuition, but according to Alice, “Kaito-san, your first impressions in these matters are usually spot on.”, so I want to believe it’s okay.

After exchanging a few letters and setting a date, the day finally came for Jane-san’s visit. To be honest, if she was a G.o.d on the same level as s.h.i.+ro-san or Makina-san, I would have expected her to visit more forcefully…… but she politely exchanged letters, consulted me carefully about the schedule, and then visited, so by this point, I already had the impression that she was a pretty decent person.

[Well~~ It’s been a while since the s.h.i.+p party. I’m really happy to meet you again, Kaito-sama…… Ah, I brought some baked goods, here you go.]

[h.e.l.lo, Jane-san. Thank you for the gift.]

[No, no, sorry that it’s just cheap stuff…… Ah, excuse me. Before we start, may I apologize for something?]

[Eh? Apologize?]

[Yes, actually, I lied to you, Kaito-sama. The name I used last time, Jane Doe, isn’t my real name. Tahaa~~ I’m really sorry for being such a mysterious woman with multiple names. I didn’t have any bad intentions, but I had some circ.u.mstances that kept me from using my real name for a while, so I ended up using a fake name on the spot.]

According to Alice, “Jane Doe” was apparently a name used back in my world for unidentified female corpses, so I had guessed it might be a fake name.

However, from Jane-san’s tone, it doesn’t seem like she was trying to deceive me, but rather that she used a fake name because she felt uncomfortable using her real name due to some circ.u.mstances.

[……Introducing myself once again, I’m Ca.n.a.lis. Troublesome it may be, I’d appreciate it if you could update your records about me with this name.]

[Ca.n.a.lis-san then, understood.]

[Ah, and you might have already heard from the bodyguard, but I’m a G.o.d from another world. Well, I did create my own world, but I’m not very good at managing it, so I left it to a friend and have been wandering around various worlds, so it might be more accurate to call me a former G.o.d. Tahaa~~ Sorry for the confusion with all these twists and turns in my backstory!]

How should I say this…… She admitted to being a G.o.d too easily, or rather, she didn’t seem to be trying to hide it at all. While guiding Jane-san——— Ca.n.a.lis-san to the reception room, we continued our conversation.

[By the way, what about when you said you were with Laguna-san back at the party?]

[That’s a fact. No, well, I was invisible and followed from behind, so it wasn’t as if I partic.i.p.ated as Laguna-sama’s companion…… Oh, but please don’t worry. Indeed, I wasn’t formally invited, but I’m not shameless enough to eat or drink in such a state. Even though I’m envying the others as they get to eat those delicious-looking food, I didn’t touch anything!]

[……No, I wouldn’t have minded if you had eaten or drunk something……]

[Ohh, you’re more generous than I expected, as expected of Kaito-sama, quite charming you are! ……I wish I knew that back at the party though.]

She continued her lively, fast-paced conversation as usual…… but her facial expression didn’t move an inch. It seems that her dead facial muscles aren’t an act but are genuinely real.

Well, I’m used to this kind of thing with s.h.i.+ro-san, but in Ca.n.a.lis-san’s case, her voice is full of emotion, so she feels different from s.h.i.+ro-san and her voice that lacks intonation.

[So, why did you come to that party in the first place?]

[I came because I wanted to see Kaito-sama. Ah~~ Errr, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re currently the hottest topic among the World Creators, with rumors about you spreading everywhere. Tahaa~~ It’s that, you know? You could say you’re currently trending!]

[……Eh? Me? W- Why?

[Hmmm, this might sound like I’m speaking ill of your lover, so I hope you don’t get upset but…… Shallow Vernal is literally the embodiment of the End, someone the World Creators deeply fear. Since Kaito-sama had won against that Shallow Vernal and had her as your lover, the World Creators were like, well, how should I say this…… They’re all thinking along the lines of “what kind of monster are you?”, and everyone seems to respect you for it. Ahh, of course, I’m also Kaito-sama’s fan!]

[…………………………………I- I see?]

Somehow, I had just been hit with an incredible revelation…… Eh? I’m being talked about among the Omnipotent and Omniscient G.o.ds? That’s a shocking new fact I just learned.

Serious-senpai : [That just shows how much s.h.i.+ro was feared, but Kaito, both among the n.o.bles and G.o.ds, he seriously became famous in all the weird places……]

? ? ? : [Thanks to Alice-chan’s efforts, the general public doesn’t know much about him…… but I wonder? Can’t you hear it? The sound of a stomachache flag rising for a certain d.u.c.h.ess……]

Serious-senpai : [Just let her go already……]
