I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1109 - Founder Olivia

Chapter 1109 - Founder Olivia ⑧

After forcibly convincing Olivia-san to let me row the oars, I started moving the boat slowly again. I could see a few other tourists in their own boats, but the lake itself was quite large, so I didn’t think we would b.u.mp into each other.

Olivia-san was dutifully carrying out what I had said earlier about “enjoying the scenery”, as her eyes moved about, watching the view.

[……How curious.]

[Unnn?]

[As the representative of the Friends.h.i.+p City, I remember all the tourist facilities in the Friends.h.i.+p City. I know enough about this park to be able to draw a map even without looking at anything.]

After muttering these words, Olivia-san looked at the scenery again, and looking deeply moved, she spoke.

[However…… I really didn’t know anything huh. Now I realize that what you see on a map is completely different from what you actually see.]

[I think that’s rather common. There’s a difference between having knowledge about something and actually experiencing it…… I guess you can say you “know” something only when it’s accompanied by both knowledge and experience.]

[I can say that I know something only when it’s accompanied by both knowledge and experience? I see, those were painful words to hear.]

For example, I think Alice is the one who knows the most about many things out of all the people I know. Those were things she knew not just by knowledge, but things she experienced herself.

Like, if it were just based on the pure amount of knowledge, the omniscient Eden-san would probably have more than her, but in terms of knowledge through experience, I think Alice is the best.

I’m sure Olivia-san has a great amount of knowledge. However, since her knowledge isn’t accompanied by experience, just as she has been today, I felt that she was confused about a lot of things.

[……How shameful, this is.]

[Shameful?]

[I’m young compared to the G.o.ds, but even so, I have lived nearly 50 times as many years as Miyama Kaito-sama. However, there are so many things I don’t know about. Thinking about how I’m being constantly taught by Miyama Kaito-sama, I’m feeling a little repulsed of myself.]

Although I feel like she’s exaggerating, Olivia-san seems to have a very serious and inflexible personality, so I guess she’s concerned about a lot of things.

[I don’t think you should think of it as shameful though. After all, “you just didn’t know about it at the moment”, right?]

[……Eh?]

[Everyone has things they don’t know about. I myself have a lot of things I don’t know, and even s.h.i.+ro-san had things she didn’t know. I don’t think that’s anything to be ashamed of. That just means there are things you have to learn from now on.]

Smiling at Olivia-san who was looking at me, I continued.

[Besides, isn’t it because people know different things that they can teach each other? Olivia-san, you say I’ve been teaching you a lot, but you’re the one who taught me about this park, which means I’ve been learning from you too.]

[……Miyama Kaito-sama.]

Olivia-san seemed to be troubled, which I thought was a rather good sign. Even though it might be bit by bit, I believe that Olivia-san is gradually beginning to change.

After hearing my words, Olivia-san looked as if she was thinking about everything for a moment, before she gave me a small smile.

[……I suppose so. Inexperienced I may be, but if it’s alright with you, I would appreciate it if you could guide me in various things.]

[I feel like you’re exaggerating a bit but…… I hope you’ll guide me through a lot of things too. Speaking of which, where should we go after we leave this park?]

[If it’s alright with Miyama Kaito-sama…… I was thinking of a place I would like to visit if we could.]

This surprised me a little. This was the first time Olivia-san had made such a request, and I could really feel a definite change around her.

[By all means, let’s go. So, where’s the place you want to go?]

[……It’s the place known as the Hero’s Hill. As the representative, I wanted to visit the place which is the most famous tourist attraction of the Friends.h.i.+p City.]

[I see…… but if I recall correctly, the Hero’s Hill is a bit far from the city, right?]

[Yes. There are several carriages a day heading for the foot of the Hill, but not at this time of the day. However, that won’t be a problem, I will use Teleportation Magic to get there.]

[Then, it’s alright. I understand. After we get out of the park, let’s head for the Hero’s Hill.]

With our next destination decided, and feeling that I was steadily getting to know Olivia-san better, I once again put strength into my hands rowing the boat.

Serious-senpai : [It just occurred to me.]

? ? ? : [What is it?]

Serious-senpai : [The Hero’s Hill is a long way from the Friends.h.i.+p City, right?]

? ? ? : [Well, it is fairly far.]

Serious-senpai : [……Is that area still within the Friends.h.i.+p City’s territory?]

? ? ? : [No, it isn’t.]

Serious-senpai : [……I see it now. So it will end with either a piggyback or other way of carrying…… Guess those parts are somewhat important huh.]
