I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 2101: Date Plan Execution ㊲

Chapter 2101: Date Plan Execution ㊲

I got home very late, so today's chapter is short.

When Eris heard from the staff that Kaito and his companions had arrived, she immediately put down her paperwork and left the room. She had no intention of keeping Kaito waiting, and in the first place, she only ever handled doc.u.ments she could interrupt at any time, knowing she'd respond instantly if he visited. Therefore, there was no issue.

(……It’s fine. I’ve carefully considered various scenarios, and this time, I shouldn’t end up fl.u.s.tered or panicked.)

While she had managed to handle things well so far, responding on the fly wasn’t to her liking. This time, she had thoroughly gathered information and prepared herself mentally, which seemed to imbue her with confidence.

If, hypothetically, Lilia were to witness the current Eris…… she might have commented “No, Kaito-san always manages to go beyond any measures you prepare for, so it’s pointless to overthink it……”———— a precise piece of advice born from experience. However, such an exchange wasn’t going to happen today.

[Ah, Eris-san! h.e.l.lo…… You’re here, I see.]

[h.e.l.lo, Kaito-sama. Thank you for visiting. Yes, I had some work to process here at the store, but as soon as I heard you’d arrived……]

Exchanging greetings with Kaito, Eris discreetly moved her gaze toward his companions, starting with Kaori.

(……Someone I don't recognize…… Judging by her unique magic power though, she's definitely the otherworlder. From her demeanor and expression, she doesn’t strike me as someone leading a major company. Rather, she seemed a bit nervous, as though overwhelmed by the upscale nature of the store. If that’s the case…… it’s safe to a.s.sume she’s Mizuhara Kaori-sama.)

Eris, while conversing with Kaito, a.n.a.lyzed at high speed. Without a doubt, she was a brilliant young lady of n.o.ble birth, possessing knowledge and insight that would never embarra.s.s her in any setting.

She swiftly deduced that the otherworlder with Kaito was indeed Kaori and noticed her tension in the high-cla.s.s environment. Considering this, Eris concluded that it might be necessary to offer subtle support if needed. With that thought in mind, she turned her gaze to Kaito’s other companion.

(Now, for the other person…… The other…… per…… son……)

And the moment she laid eyes on Olivia, Eris’ mind went completely blank for a second.

(……Eh? Founder-sama? N- No, no way, that can’t possibly be…… S- Surely she just coincidentally resembles her…… N- No, but even though her attire is different from usual, this aura of sanct.i.ty is unmistakable…… W- W- W- Wait a moment!? This is far beyond unexpected! The very fact that the Founder is in a place outside Friends.h.i.+p City is an extraordinary event in itself!! I- I mean, yes, I did hear about her officiating at Viscount Neverlight’s wedding, but that was a once-in-a-lifetime exception because it was the wedding of an otherworlder deeply connected to Kaito-sama…… Eh? Ehhh? W- Wait a second!? Founder Olivia is someone with even less publicly available information than the Six Kings or the Supreme G.o.ds…… H- How am I supposed to handle this……)

In the first place, Olivia, while fulfilling her duties as the representative of Friends.h.i.+p City Hikari and the Founder, rarely ever left the Cathedral. Her interactions with others were strictly minimal, limited to only what was necessary.

Faced with this utterly unexpected situation, Eris clung desperately to her waning consciousness, frantically trying to figure out how to proceed.

She could feel the ironclad smile of a n.o.blewoman she had perfected begin to falter ever so slightly……
