I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 234 - I Feel Like the Future Would be Filled with Troubles

Chapter 234 - I Feel Like the Future Would be Filled with Troubles

The 9th Day of the Wind month. With the reservation ticket Dr. Fear gave me, I came to the summer resort in the Demon Realm, Carrel.

It seems that Carrel has a cool climate close to autumn throughout the year, and is a very popular tourist destination near the Teleportation Gate.

The place I arrived at was just like the image of a summer resort. Wooden cottages stood in the midst of the s.h.i.+ning, beautiful scenery of the plateau facing a big lake, and a tourist city with various shops can be seen on the other side of the sh.o.r.e…… I see, I can stay in this cottage and shop for anything I need in the city on the opposite sh.o.r.e.

The place looks even better than I expected…… I came alone because I left on such a short notice yesterday, but it might have been more fun to come with someone else.

Well, that’s for next time. For now, I’ll go to the cottage where I plan to stay. Fortunately, my luggage is all in the magic box, so I can just walk around empty-handed. Magic really is quite convenient.

Leisurely enjoying the scenery, I presented my reservation ticket at the Teleportation Gate and looked at the key I received. When I arrived at the cottage where I would be staying, the faint smell of wood tickled my nostrils.

The inside looked quite luxurious, looking like a true resort, even having its own bathroom a.s.sorted with magic tools. I feel like it’s a very luxurious place to stay.

It seems that there are several bedrooms to accommodate multiple people, and after choosing one of the bedrooms, I realized that it was just the right time for me to sort out my stuff.

[……Shoot. I forgot to bring any bath towels.]

Yes, I brought a change of clothes and other household items that I usually use…… but the bath towels I usually use were from Lilia-san’s mansion, so I guess I accidentally forgot about them.

I do have face towels with me, so I could use that for the time being…… I guess it’s a good idea to take a stroll and go to the tourist area to buy some.

Even though it wasn’t very big, it’s a tourist city, so I think they would at least have a towel sold there.

Thinking that, I decided to put the luggage I was about to spread out back into my magic box, locked the cottage up tightly before heading out.

About half an hour after Kaito leaves the cottage, a shadow approaches the cottage.

[……It’s been a while since I’ve been here, but it’s still a nice view.]

Lazily muttering with a smile on her face, Lilia reached the cottage while her s.h.i.+mmering blonde hair swayed with the wind. Entering the cottage with the key in her hand, she lightly looked around the rooms.

[This is quite a nice place to rent again…… Now then, there’s probably still some time before Luna arrives, so what should I do?]

Muttering that, Lilia glances at her body.

Unlike Kaito, who used Teleportation Magic to travel to the gate, she felt a little sweaty, though not to the point that she was being bothered by it, probably due to the fact that she had traveled to the gate in a carriage.

[……I guess I would have a light bath……]

In fact, Lilia is quite fond of bathing, and since she originally came here with plans to stretch her wings, she decided to take a bath, even though it was still early, and moved towards the bathroom.

Not knowing about the tragedy that awaits her……

The tourist city was closer than I thought, as my shopping was done in about 40 minutes and I came back to the cottage to sort out my stuff again.

Then, after I unlocked the door and walked into the cottage……

[……Arehh? What’s with this luggage?]

There was a small travel bag in the living room of the carriage…… Of course, I don’t remember bringing that with me.

Did someone get the wrong cottage by any chance? No, they wouldn’t have been able to open it without my key so…… a thief? No, a thief would be the one taking bags, not leaving them here.

As I was tilting my head at the strange situation, I heard small footsteps with the faint sound of creaking wood…… and also, a voice that somehow sounds familiar…… the voice of someone who shouldn’t be here.

[……Luna, you’re early. I’m sorry, I took a bath first—— Eh?]

[……Eh?]

The one who appeared was Lilia-san, dressed in a thin bathrobe while wiping her water-soaked hair with a towel.

The slightly wet white skin peeking through the gaps of the bathrobe looked so beautiful that it made others salivate, but I was more shocked by this situation than I was by such things. As Lilia-san and I remained staring at each other, the both of us stiffened.

Lilia-san’s eyes widened when she saw me and she began to profusely sweat.

[……Kaito…… -san?]

[Errr, why is Lilia-san……]

[……Ki.]

[Ki?]

[Kyyaaaahhhhh!?]

[ ! ? ]

Immediately afterwards, with a scream that seemed to rip through silk, Lilia-san disappeared into the inner rooms at great speed, leaving me stunned as I stared in the direction Lilia-san went…… Errr, what the heck is going on?

Lilia-san came back a while later, properly dressed…… and currently sitting across from me at the table in the living room, looking down with her face blus.h.i.+ng red.

[……………………]

[……………………]

It feels awkward, outrageously awkward…… How the heck did this situation happen?

I got a summer resort reservation ticket from Dr. Fear, and came here to get some rest…… but when I went back from shopping, I found Lilia-san fresh out of the bath in the cottage for some reason……

[……K- Kaito-san……]

[Eh? Ah, yes!]

 [W- Why are you here…… L- Luna was…… supposed to be here……]

[E- Errr, I don’t really know anything about Lunamaria-san but…… I got a reservation ticket from a friend of mine because she said that she can’t use it……]

Lilia-san thought that Lunamaria-san was coming. I thought I would come alone…… Deriving these two points, the answer would be……

[Lunaaaaaaaa!!!]

[P- Please calm down, Lilia-san!?]

Lilia-san’s voice echoes from the depths of the earth…… Unnn, I knew it…… It was that useless maid who did this!!!

So, does that mean Dr. Fear is in on it too? I- I thought she wouldn’t be the kind of person who would act as an accomplice for this……

As I watched Lilia-san send a hummingbird flying towards Lunamaria-san in anger, I also sent a hummingbird flying towards Dr. Fear to complain to her for a bit.

[……Ummm, what should we do about this?]

[……Kaito-san…… D- Did you see?]

[Eh? W- What is?]

[L- Like I said…… M- M- M- My…… n- naked body……]

[!? I- I didn’t see it! Or rather, I couldn’t see it!!! You were properly wearing a bathrobe, and I was rather surprised at seeing you at that time…….]

I wasn’t lying, I’m telling the truth. I did see Lilia-san after her bath, but since she was wearing a bathrobe, I didn’t see those ethically dangerous zones…… and the surprise I felt was too strong for me to take a closer look.

Unnn, I’m not thinking that I should have looked at her a bit more carefully or anything like that…… definitely not!

[……I- Is that so…… that’s good.]

[Ah, yes. Errr…… So, ummm, what should we do now?]

[……W- W- W- What do you mean?]

[L- Like I said…… W- What are we going to do now…… Should I go home? Or should I stay?]

Putting aside my anger at Lunamaria-san for now, I talked about the topic of what I’m going to do with my stay, which was originally scheduled for two nights and three days.

Hearing my words, Lilia-san moved her gaze a few times and her expression changed as if she were feeling troubled…… Then, with a bright red face, she muttered.

[……J- Just stay…… w- with me like this.]

[Eh? I- Is that alright?]

[Y- Yes! F- Fortunately, there are multiple rooms here…… I- I- In the first place, K- Kaito-san and I are…… l- l- lovers anyway…… s- so there shouldn’t be any problem.]

[……T- That’s right. Alright.]

[………………..]

[………………..]

What do I do? Lilia-san’s fl.u.s.tered face turning bright red is just too cute, and at the same time, the atmosphere is so bittersweet…… that our conversation isn’t going well!?

T- That’s weird…… I should have gone to this place to get some rest, but why is my mind being strained like this……

As Lilia-san and I silently stared at each other, the silence was broken by an incoming reply sent by a hummingbird…… coming from Lunamaria-san and Dr. Fear, flying in almost simultaneously.

The hummingbird stopped in front of us, and after Lilia-san and I looked at each other and nodded, the both of us touched the hummingbird before us.

The message from Dr. Fear that emerged in front of me…… was filled with a tremendous amount of apologies.

Hummingbirds are supposed to only send short sentences, but whether its Dr. Fear’s magic power or technique was amazing, she has written quite a bit…… It seems that Lunamaria-san asked her to give the reservation ticket to me, but she didn’t expect that this would happen. She wrote over and over again that she was really sorry, and I felt sorry just by looking at it.

A- Anyway, I was relieved that Dr. Fear didn’t have any bad intentions, so after sending a reply to Dr. Fear , I moved my gaze to Lilia-san.

Lilia-san’s shoulders are shaking as she looks at the words floating in the air, as if she’s holding back her anger.

As I was thinking “What the heck did she reply?”, I took a peek, and saw a very Lunamaria-san-like frolicking sentence, telling Lilia-san to “Properly return my embrace with a tighter one”.

[Lunaaaaaaaaa!!!]

It’s natural that Lilia-san got mad…… I mean, even I got mad seeing that. However, ummm, Lilia-san…… she just smashed the table to pieces……

[L- Lilia-san!? Please calm down!]

[Ugghhh….. But… Buuuuuttttt!]

[I understand how you feel. I understand, so just calm down for now……]

In the meantime, if Lilia-san’s anger isn’t qualified, I don’t think we have to question anymore whether I should stay here in this cottage or not, as at worst, this cottage will be shattered by Lilia-san herself.

I’m sure that Lunamaria-san thinks that she’s acting as some kind of love cupid but…… I bet that more than half the reason she did this is that she’s having fun…… and I won’t forgive her for that.

[……Alice!!!]

[Ehh? Ah, yes!?]

[……I’m counting on you here.]

[……Errr, ahh, yes. I’ll go and punish her.]

When I tell her those few words, Alice immediately disappears, as if she understands my intentions.

For now, this is enough to strike back at Lunamaria-san, but I have to do something about Lilia-san, whose aura of anger looks like it’s about to make cracks around us……

Dear Mom, Dad——- I came to a summer resort, but for some reason, Lilia-san was there, and I ended up staying with her. I feel happy that I will be with her but…… How should I say this… In all sorts of ways——— I feel like the future would be filled with troubles.

Lunamaria: [Fufufu, by now, My Lady and Miyama-sama are probably——- Hah!?]

Alice: [For the time being, how about you tell me your last will and testament……]

Lunamaria: [……E- Even if I were to perish, soon, a second and third me will be ap——- Gyyyyaaaaahhhh!?]

Alice: [Personally, I would have given you my thumbs up but…… Sorrowful it may be…… I’m on Kaito-san’s side after all.]

Serious-senpai: [Sweet…… however, I’ll forgive you for today…… That’s because, on Christmas, it’s finally my time!!! (The storyline still haven’t been decided yet though)]
