I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1298 - Intermission: The Tea Party of Black and White ~ ~ Shiro's Provocation ~ ~

Chapter 1298 - Intermission: The Tea Party of Black and White ~ ~ s.h.i.+ro's Provocation ~ ~

In the Sanctuary, G.o.d Realm, the land where Shallow Vernal lives, Shallow Vernal and Kuromueina were currently drinking tea together.

[Come to think of it, Kuro. Did you know that Kaito-san is going to open a stall?]

[Eh? Unnn. Of course I know, but what about it?]

[Look at this.]

In front of Kuromueina who was curiously tilting her head, Shallow Vernal took out a paper bag and showed it to Kuromueina.

[This is the first prototype of the baby castellas that Kaito-san made. Do you envy me?]

[Eh? No, I want to enjoy the atmosphere of the festival, and I’m looking forward to buying it on the day, so I don’t really……]

[Do you feel vexed about falling behind me when it comes to baby castellas, your ident.i.ty?]

[……No, like I said, it’s not like I’m competing for the order……]

[I’m first, Kuro is just after, aren’t you?]

[……I wonder why? Like I said earlier, I don’t care about the order, but seeing s.h.i.+ro being so proud of it…… is kinda annoying.]

Kuromueina couldn’t grasp the change in Shallow Vernal’s facial expression as well as Kaito, but even she was able to understand that the current Shallow Vernal had a smug look on her face.

No, her expression hadn’t changed much from usual, but she could literally see Shallow Vernal’s state of mind from the large three-dimensional “Doya” that appeared behind her.

[It’s my win, Kuro’s loss.]

[I didn’t lose though? We didn’t even have a match in the first place…… Is this that, s.h.i.+ro? Could it be that you’re picking a fight with me? That’s why you called me here today?]

[I see, so these are those so-called grumblings of a loser.]

[……Huh? No, I haven’t lost though? Rather, you’re strangely provocative towards me today, aren’t you? I don’t think there’s any benefit to s.h.i.+ro from p.i.s.sing me off, so why don’t we stop talking about this here?]

Even though a vein popped up on her forehead from the earlier conversation, Kuromueina still tried to remain calm. Kuromueina didn’t know what motives Shallow Vernal had, but since she’s provoking her that blatantly, Kuromueina could guess that she was trying to anger her, so she kept her composure to some extent.

Most of all, it was annoying to act according to what Shallow Vernal expected……

[I suppose you’re right.]

[Unnn, unnn, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you just said, so let’s just have some fun drinking tea……]

[It seems pitiful to bully a loser any more than this after all.]

[……Alright, you want a fight, I’ll give you a fight. I’ll crush you right then and there.]

[Wanting a losing streak, how curious.]

[In the first place, I haven’t even lost a single time though!?]

However, Kuromueina also had a limit to her patience. That especially goes when it comes to Shallow Vernal, they often quarrel because they were open to each other, making it difficult for her to keep her self-restraint.

Just as Kuromueina stood up with black fumes exuding out of her body from anger, Shallow Vernal calmly spoke.

[Well then, let’s settle it with this.]

[……Eh? What’s this?]

[It’s the same other world game that I gave Kaito-san on his birthday.]

[……Huh?]

When Shallow Vernal suddenly took out a black box-shaped object on the table and told her this, Kuromueina forgot her anger just now and became dumbfounded.

In any case, this was a development she didn’t expect at all.

[Kaito-san likes games. It seems that he often plays that present I gave him with those from the same homeworld.]

[……Unnn. So?]

[I also want to play games with Kaito-san and have fun with him. I did ask Earth G.o.d for some information to some extent, but I have never actually played it, so I decided that I need to practice.]

[……In short?]

[However, there are games where two people play against each other, so I need an opponent.]

[Eh? All that for this!? You’ve been provoking me a lot since a while ago in order to bring about this development!? No…… Can’t you just invite me normally? It’s not like I would just refuse……]

[Fumu, then I’ll do that next time.]

Just as she was wondering why Shallow Vernal said and did a lot of things that really seemed just to provoke her, it seemed like all of that was just so that she could play a game with Kuromueina…… and realizing the meaning of these actions, which were just like Shallow Vernal to do, an astounded expression appeared in Kuromueina’s face.

However, since she doesn’t have any particular reason to refuse to play games with her, she sat next to Shallow Vernal and held her controller.

[……Well, not like the fact that Kuro will go on a losing streak will change though.]

[I- ha- ven’t- lost-, o- kay- ? ……Seriously…… I’ll crush you.]

Hearing that one last provocation added at the end, Kuromueina looked at the screen displayed in the air with a serious expression on her face.

And so, Shallow Vernal and Kuromueina decided to play a game together but……

[Hey, s.h.i.+ro! Isn’t this thing reacting so slow!? Look, it’s too slow!!!]

[How foolish, Kuro. This is created to match the abilities of a human. If you can’t even adapt your senses to this, you should go and lose…… Ah.]

[Even s.h.i.+ro hasn’t been able to adapt at all though!? Your character’s moving like crazy!!!]

[……Oh my, it doesn’t react to actions performed 1/10,000 of a second huh……]

[Even if that’s slow for us, normal humans also can’t react to that, okay!?]

The two were having a hard time playing the game. Because both Kuromueina and Shallow Vernal were too powerful, they found the game’s response too slow, making them struggle with it.

[Uuuu, isn’t this difficult? Putting aside our physical ability, with my reaction speed, I couldn’t help reacting, and once you press the b.u.t.ton, you can’t take it back…… Also, this thing doesn’t recognize repeated hits above a certain speed. Therefore, we have to make adjustments in that area as well.]

[It’s certainly more troublesome than I thought.]

[I mean, couldn’t we have something that doesn’t need intense movements, something more laid back…… Something like sugoroku? Why don’t we get accustomed to that first……]

[Fumu, you have a point. Well then, something with a little less movement……]

In the first place, being amateurs in playing games itself, it was inevitable that the two of them would struggle.

[……Rather, it’s something I just thought of.]

[What is it?]

[I mean, if we were to fight Kaito-kun, we would be on par with him if we weren’t used to it…… No, I think Kaito-kun would have an advantage because of his experience…… Wouldn’t it be more exciting to play together with him now than when our reaction speed can fully adapt to the difference in reaction speed?]

[……Indeed……]

While having that kind of conversation, the two continued happily playing the other world games…… They somehow got along well and enjoyed playing with each other.

Serious-senpai : [It’s the same pattern back in that racing game, where their basic abilities are too high, which instead makes it more difficult for them huh……]

? ? ? : [I can play normally though.]

Serious-senpai : [In the first place, it seemed like you had the experience playing games like these back in your former world.]
