I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 1312 - Founding Festival - Noon ③



Chapter 1312 - Founding Festival - Noon ③

Seeing off Ariel-san and Tir-san went fine and all, but you can say that the situation went a little off our plans.

[……I wonder where this place is?]

[Hmmm, world coordinates and stuff like that’s really difficult, so I don’t really understand them. Cento, where are we?]

[Errr, according to the map, this place is near the Western Area, a little far from the place we were before.]

We had opened our stall in the Southern Area, and since we were heading to the ceremony venue earlier, we would of course be along Southern Main Street.

However, judging from the map Cento-san laid out, this location is closer to the ceremony venue than the place we were just now.

Although we would now instead be walking through Western Main Street instead of the Southern one, it feels like the distance has considerably shortened.

[It’s a coincidence, but the ceremony venue is closer to where we are now, so it’s rather convenient.]

[Right. We could just return with Teleportation Magic, so the route we go through doesn’t really matter. Then, how about we head to the Central Area from this street?]

[I think that’s a good idea. We’ve been able to shorten the distance and have more time in hand, so it looks like we’ll be able to take up our shift at a leisurely pace.]

It seems that the situation with Ariel-san and Tir-san turned out better than I thought, so we just moved along the Western Main Street and started walking.

Until just now, we had been somewhat rushing to the ceremony venue due to the distance, but thanks to the extra time we’ve got, we had more time to see the various stalls than before.

Nevertheless, with how close we are to the ceremony venue, the number of people around certainly increased. There is something like a flowing motion in the traffic though, so it’s not like the place is packed like sardines……

As I had such thoughts in mind, walking while looking at the passing shops……

[……Ah.]

[………………..]

[………………..]

[………………..]

Meeting eyes with a familiar face…… Elise-san, and at the moment we exchanged eye contact at a tremendous speed, with her business smile plastered on her lips, Elise-san shrugged.

Incidentally, if I were to put into words the eye contact exchange we had earlier, the emotions Elise-san conveyed……

“……Oi, Human-san. I’ve told you time and time again to not come here, haven’t I?”

“It’s a misunderstanding. It was seriously a coincidence! In the first place, I didn’t even know where Elise-san’s shop was!?”

“……I certainly haven’t told you that. Haahhh…… I underestimated Human-san’s strange luck too lightly. Rather, it may have been better if I told you where my stall is and told you not to approach…… That aside, it seems like you coincidentally showed up nearby……”

Just like that, it was finally decided that I’m innocent here. However, she really is skillful with throwing out specific emotions. What’s more, it’s terrifying how she kept that bright smile on her face the entire time.

Well, for the time being, I’ll just quietly get myself out of this place so as not to irritate her any further.

[Ahh, Kaito! That’s the fortune teller I saw at the White God Festival!]

[Geh…… Tre-san!?]

[I feel like this is fate! Alright, let’s stop by!]

Here comes an unexpected entry from Tre-san. No, it’s not like Tre-san had any ill intent with that suggestion. She just bought a fortune cookie back in the White God Festival, and she probably just remembered Elise-san.

In response to her words, Elise-san just sweetly smiled…… while throwing an overwhelming amount of complaints at me through my Sympathy Magic.

Seriously, how the heck could she maintain that smile while throwing all those emotions at me?

[Welcome.]

[Hello~~ Do you have something like a Symphonia Founding Festival-limited something here?]

[In that case, how would you like this one? This is a traditional flower amulet in Symphonia Kingdom. It was an item associated with the Founding Festival.]

[Heehh~~ It’s so beautiful.]

Indeed, at a glance, it looks like a corsage of small flowers, but the design and colors are inspired by the flag of Symphonia Kingdom, so it does feel like a commemorative gift for the Kingdom’s founding.

Special items like that can only be purchased on a day like this which stimulates the desire to buy it, so I think she’s really making good business here.

[Well then, since we’re at it, we’ll get four. Ahh, I’ll pay for them.]

[Yaaaay, thanks, Kaito~~]

[Here. Thank you for the purchase.]

Most of all, I made this purchase with the thought that I had to get our shopping here done and get out of here as soon as possible. I mean, seriously, Elise-san, even though she has such a smile on her face…… She’s really emanating that Get Lost Already aura.

I was afraid that if we stayed here too long, she would be very angry the next time I saw her, so I decided to finish our shopping here quickly and move on. Handing over the money and receiving the amulet……

[Here’s a decorative string as a freebie. Please use it to hang the amulet on the wall.]

[T- Thank you very much.]

After giving me beautiful strings as a freebie, I felt gentle emotions from her for a moment,  asking me to hang out again, though not today and for another time…… though it immediately went back to that Get Lost Already emotion she had earlier……

Rather, she really is dexterous…… She’s a person who conveys her emotions skillfully and accurately.


<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Even though Elise-san looks like she’s a little harsh on Kaito, it looks like her Favorability levels are actually high.]

? ? ? : [Truth is that it actually is high.]
