I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1742: Intermission: Bestowed Gift and Letters

Chapter 1742: Intermission: Bestowed Gift and Letters

Lilia, who had inherited memories from another timeline, desperately explained to Lunamaria, who hadn’t inherited such memories. That in a temporarily diverged timeline, where Kaito and Shallow Vernal went on a date during the Founding Festival, she experienced numerous stomachaches……

[……I’ll check Big Sister Vier’s schedule.]

[That isn’t it! It’s not that I’ve lost my mind, that really happened…… No, Luna…… You already understand and are doing that on purpose, don’t you?]

[Oya? I got caught…… Well, if one suddenly hears something about some different timeline, they’d just think Lili worked too hard and lost her mind…… but when something’s related to Miyama-sama, it’s frightening how that isn’t impossible.]

It would normally be a ridiculous story, and even if it was the words of a close friend who one had known for a long time, it wasn’t something that could be believed immediately. However, when you add the World’s Singularity, Kaito, and G.o.ds with their omnipotent powers into the equation, such a story would somehow make sense.

[……So, what happened after you confirmed the appearance of that mysterious mountain?]

[Of course, there was a great uproar. Not only that, the very same mountain disappeared just as Her Majesty Laguna was trying desperately to mend the situation…… It seriously just disappeared from our sight. Fortunately, Kuromueina-sama came to explain things afterwards, and the matter was resolved with the explanation that Shallow Vernal-sama briefly showed an illusion of a famous mountain from the First Hero’s world.]

[Heehhh…… What was that mountain called?]

[Errr, what was it again? If I recall correctly———-]

[Mt Fuji.]

[Ahh, that’s right. It was called Mt Fu…… Eh?]

Suddenly hearing a voice that didn’t seem to belong to her or Lunamaria, Lilia turned around in surprise, and there, she found Makina having appeared in her office before she knew it.

[M- M- M- Mana-sama!?]

[Ya, good work at the Founding Festival in that timeline~~]

Upon seeing the suddenly appeared Makina, Lilia’s expression tensed visibly. On the other hand, Lunamaria, not recognizing Makina, tilted her head in confusion.

[Mana-sama……?]

[……She’s Eden-sama.]

[ ! ? ! ? ]

After hearing that name, Lunamaria acted quickly. She promptly moved behind Lilia, straightening her posture and acting like she was a stone pillar, she chose to remain silent until she was asked to speak.

Lunamaria is also somewhat appreciated by Makina, but still not as much as she does for Lilia, who is Kaito’s lover, so a careless remark from her could lead to a bad situation.

Therefore, she kept silent so as not to interrupt the conversation between Makina and Lilia.

[Mana-sama, why are you here?]

[I have some business with Lilia. Ahh, speaking of which, how was that Mt Fuji? Lilia probably only saw it for a bit, but it looked nice, didn’t it?]

[T- That’s right! It was a very beautiful mountain. It had an aspect not often seen around here, but with the two-tone contrast and the majestic shape of the mountain, it seemed to convey grandeur. So such a mountain exists in the other world huh.]

[Unn, unnn. It’s quite a famous mountain in the country where my beloved child lived. I’m glad Lilia liked it! In that case, we can head straight to the main topic without any worries.]

[……The main topic?]

Even though she herself wasn’t conscious of it, Lilia held her stomach. It was a movement that naturally resulted from her body reacting based on past experiences…… Yes, Lilia’s intuition, honed through numerous stomachaches in the past, had sensed the arrival of a new incident that would bring her stomachache.

[You see, even though I had expressly created that, I thought it would be a shame to erase it along with that timeline. Besides, Lilia worked hard in that timeline too, so as a reward, “I’ll give you that mountain and the ryokan I made”.]

[Hyuuuu……]

It’s no wonder that Lilia unintentionally had her breath taken away by those words…… The Mt Fuji she saw at that time was a rather huge mountain, so even if she were suddenly told it would be given to her along with an onsen ryokan, she would only feel troubled.

……But unfortunately, the one before her is a World Creator, a being in a position where refusing the gift she bestows upon her isn’t feasible.

[T- T- T- T- Tha- Thank you very much. R- R- Receiving such a thing is an honor.]

Yes, she doesn’t have any choice but to accept it. In the first place, the other party is one of the most dangerous beings among the G.o.ds she knows, so she couldn’t afford to risk displeasing her…… Yes, she never had a choice from the start.

[Unnn. Then, how do you like it? Should I install it in the world I gave Lilia before? Or should I install it somewhere in this world? I do remember the face of that lump of flesh who rules this country, so if I tell him, he’ll at least submit to me a piece of land right away.]

[On the world you gave me before please!!!]

She’s got no other choice here either. Rather, even if she were given a choice, choosing the former would be far better than the latter. At least, it wouldn’t lead to a major disturbance. Receiving a gift bestowed by Makina requires considerable care, but even so, it’s far better than a situation where a mountain suddenly appears somewhere in this world, with Lilia becoming its owner.

[Unnn. Alright. I’ll install it there then~~ Well then, I’ve finished my business here, so I’m gonna go.]

[Yes! T- Thank you very much once again!]

While Makina lightly waved at them as she left, Lilia and Lunamaria lowered their heads, seeing her off with a 90-degree bow. A few while after Makina disappeared, Lilia muttered.

[……My stomach hurts.]

[I completely understand how you feel…… To refresh your mind, how about taking a long break soon? Especially since you received something suitable for sightseeing……]

[I suppose so…… Taking a long break after all the work I’m doing now would be nice.]

[Yes, along with Sieg, us three can go on a trip. You also received something we could stay at, right?]

[……Luna.]

Touched by Luna’s words, gently advising her, Lilia’s eyes welled up with emotion. Although things were somewhat dreadful for the moment, the fact that it wasn’t something that would cause a public uproar made her feel somewhat relieved.

Lilia, suppressing the pain in her stomach and thinking optimistically, smiled.

……But then, a few days later, faced with a letter that arrived from the Founder Olivia expressing her desire to meet and talk with Lilia, a n.o.ble from one of the countries, as if she herself was crumbling down, Lilia slammed her head down on her desk…… shattering her office desk.

Office Desk : [Guaaahhhh!?]

Serious-senpai : [Because Lilia’s specs are quite monstrous, she causes unexpected damage in the strangest places!?]
