I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 448 - Our Perceptions Didn't Match

Chapter 448 - Our Perceptions Didn't Match

As I watched Alice and Isis-san chat with each other, I was looking in the guidebook and was thinking about where to go next.

It would be great if there was some kind of attraction here that would help us digest our meals. Though I say that, I didn’t think I would be able to keep up with strenuous activities…… It would be preferable if they were something like those stalls in festivals back in my world……

As I was flipping through the pages of the guidebook, some words suddenly caught my eye.

Ring toss huh…… How nostalgic. It seemed to be nearby and looked good. But looking at the map, the s.p.a.ce for ring toss is rather large. Could it be that they set up a large-scale ring toss game?

[……Isis-san, why don’t we go and play some ring toss next?]

[ [ Wha!? ] ]

[……Eh?]

I thought I had made a very normal suggestion, but for some reason, Isis-san and Alice looked surprised. Isis-san was even shakingly looking at me with her eyes wide open.

[……We can’t…… Kaito…… It’s dangerous.]

[……D- Dangerous? The ring toss is?]

[Kaito-san…… Messing with such tools “could endanger your life”. You should at least wear this armor……]

[Hey, doesn’t that look like the armor Neun-san was wearing!?]

[This armor is made with “Orichalcon”. With this, you should somehow be able to play some rounds……]

Eh? A full-body armor made of Orichalcon? Why the heck did she take out a legendary piece of equipment?

[E- Errr…… You know, I’m just talking about ring toss, right? Why are you talking as if I’m about to plunge myself in a decisive battle……]

[……With Kaito’s magic power…… It would be difficult…… to fight in a “RINGTOSS” match.]

[She’s right. We can put that aside if it’s a fight between fellow amateurs…… but unless you can “move at a speed of sound”, you won’t be able to fight against the “Rankers”.]

[Speed of sound!? Also, Rankers…… Eh? Is there even a ranking system for ring toss?]

W- Why the heck did the flow of conversation sound strange? We’re talking about ring toss, right? It’s that game in which you throw a ring and make it get caught by a stick, right?

Perhaps, I may not know about it, but I wonder if rankings in ring toss is something normal in this world…… No, no, that’s just ridiculous.

[……Yes. There are also the professional “Quoits Elites”, formidable opponents where one would never hope to defeat just with ordinary means.]

(T/N: The name they’re called is hard to translate to english, so I’ll just name them that. Quoits is another name called for Ring Toss.)

[I somehow felt like unknown terms keep popping up one after another!? Wait a moment!? You’re talking about ring toss, right?]

[……Unnn……]

[Yes, we’re talking about “the super-exciting battle sport RING TOSS”.]

[……Battle sport?]

Even if we put aside whether or not ring toss was close to being called a sport, where the heck is the battle in it? Is it that? Are they competing for points or something like that?

[……RINGTOSS is a game…… where both players have 15 shots…… holding their rings…… they fight…… slip through…… their opponent’s defense…… and the one who scores the most…… wins.]

[…………………..]

[It’s already elementary to “shoot shockwaves” with your ring throw. There are also advanced techniques such as “distracting the opponent with afterimage rings” and “splitting the thrown ring in half”.]

[……That’s different from the ring toss I know……]

H- Hmmm. I understood now…… No, there were some things I didn’t know, but I do know that the ring toss in this world was different from what I knew.

Anyways, ring toss was apparently a very dangerous attraction in this world, so it would be suicide for me to try it.

[……W- Well then, let’s just forget about the ring toss…… What about goldfish scooping?]

[ [ Goldfish scooping!? ] ]

[………………..]

Unnn, I kind of get it now. I guess that means goldfish scooping is also dangerous. Looking at the guidebook, goldfish scooping certainly used a pretty huge s.p.a.ce too…… Was it that? The goldfish they’re catching here was actually really big or literally made with gold?

[……T- Then what about target shooting?]

[……But…… Kaito…… can’t use…… “magic bullets”, right?]

[Even if Kaito-san’ could, I think it would still be difficult for him to score points when they get into “aerial combat”.]

[……What about candy cutting?]

[……That one…… is alright.]

[I guess so. You’ll be safe from “hindrances” with Isis-san with you, so the rest will depend on the dexterity of Kaito-san’s hand.]

That’s strange. Why is it that since a while ago, not a single thing I knew matched the image I knew about them? I guess some things might have been handed down strangely to this world, just like Kuro’s strange knowledge about my world.

[……What about yo-yo fis.h.i.+ng?]

[ [ Yo-yo fis.h.i.+ng? ] ]

They don’t have yo-yo fis.h.i.+ng here!? ……Why the heck is there goldfish scooping and even candy cutting, but no yo-yo fis.h.i.+ng!?

[……No, unnn…… Errr…… Are there even any safe attractions here?]

[Let’s see~~ Hmmm……]

[……Shalltear…… What about…… “Ring target”?]

[Ahh, that one’s great! Even kids are able to play that!]

I just decided to stop thinking about where to go myself and asked them for recommendations.

Thereupon, Ring Target, an unfamiliar term appeared. Based on its name, I’m guessing it was something like target shooting……

[Ring target?]

[Yes, it’s a rather standard game at festivals. As the name suggests, it’s an attraction that uses a ring.]

[……You stand a few distance away…… and throw a ring.]

[Unnn? Arehh?]

[The targets are poles with different points on them, 10, 30, 50 and 100 points.]

[…………………]

Fumu, so to summarize…… You throw rings……. on poles with scores from a short distance away……

[……Isn’t that ring toss!?]

[What are you talking about, Kaito-san? It’s different from RINGTOSS, you know?]

[……Unnn.]

[No, that’s not what I meant…… Ahh, geez!?]

I can’t get my feelings across…… Unnn, let’s just give up.

Dear Mom, Dad———— Today, for the first time since I came to this world, I encountered a problem. It’s a problem that I should have encountered when I first came to this world…… Yes, due to cultural differences, no matter how much we talked———— Our perceptions didn’t match.
