I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)

I am now going to check out stalls for lunch with Amel-san. If we approach the Central Plaza, the number of people increases, so conversely, if we move away from the Central Plaza, the fewer the people will be.

Fortunately, the ceremony had just started, so the stalls were relatively empty and we didn’t have to wait too long to buy food.

[There are quite a few options, isn’t it? Amel-san, do you have anything specific you want to eat?]

[Hmmm, I’m not sure. I’m kinda craving for something with meat in it, but those fish skewers also look delicious. What about you, my sworn friend, do you have any specific food you want to eat?]

[I feel like eating yakisoba, but stalls in this world wouldn’t have them.]

[Is that so? That indeed sounds like an unfamiliar dish. What kind of dish is it?]

[If I had to describe it based on dishes of this world, it’s something like pasta.]

In this world, there is no ramen, so Chinese noodles don’t exist in the first place. And so, I have never seen a stall selling yakisoba either. There were some food stalls that served dishes using pasta or slightly thicker noodles than somen, but they were different from yakisoba.

Takoyaki does exist, although it’s something more like a minor dish. However, there are no stalls selling yakisoba. Alice did make some at the beach, but she has a lot of things that don’t exist in this world, so she’s a special case, and it’s not something that generally exists.

Also, this is completely unrelated to our current topic, but is Amel-san aware that she was talking in her natural tone?

[I see, pasta huh…… Ahh…… Erhem! I can feel the melancholy in my sworn friend’s heart when it comes to the flavors of your homeworld. If we could find something similar nearby…… Wait, my sworn friend! That stall over there! It’s apparently selling yakisoba, you know?]

[Eh? Ah, you’re right. I never expected we’d see one here…… Did a former Hero actor actually pass the dish down?]

Indeed, in the direction Amel-san pointed, there really was a food stall with yakisoba written on it. This is an unexpected turn of events. Perhaps, even though I’ve never seen it before, it had already existed in this world? In any case, this is great news, so we promptly went to check it out.

Just as I was feeling a bit excited upon finding that yakisoba stall……

[……Of course, it’s Alice-chan!]

[Should have known it’s you! Rather, why the heck are you wearing an octopus costume!? It’s not connected with yakisoba at all!]

Alice, wearing a stuffed octopus costume, was the owner of that stall. I already had a slight hunch this was the case, but it really is her huh.

No, well, putting that aside, let’s just be happy that I got to eat yakisoba……

In the Central Plaza of Archlesia Empire, the ceremony, which could be called the main event of the Founding Festival, was being held. Among the powerful people attending the ceremony, it was Fate, the most powerful of them all, who noticed it first.

However, Fate showed no interest and didn’t make any mention of it, and the one who voiced out the abnormality was the second person to notice it, possessing exceptional abilities, was Lillywood.

“……This is!? D- Don’t tell me……”

[Lillywood, what in the wo…… This magic power, is this Megiddo? That fool really is heading over here!?]

Following Lillywood, who murmured with a pale expression on her face, Magnawell, who was sitting nearby, also sensed the magical power approaching the Central Plaza and tensed up.

Coming their way is Megiddo, who shouldn’t have been planned to attend the ceremony this time. However, both Lillywood and Magnawell are well aware of it, being familiar with Megiddo’s unruly personality……

[World King, Dragon King, what is the meaning of this…… This was unlikely, but there’s no way the War King is planning to come to the plaza in the midst of the ceremony, right?]

“I’d like to say that that wasn’t the case but…… Megiddo gives reasonable consideration to those they like, but completely disregards the convenience of those they don’t. Due to their strong dislike for the aristocratic nature of Archlesia Empire, there is a possibility that they may not consider the interests of the country……”

[They leaped into the air. They should be here anytime soon…… What should we do, Lillywood? Should we blow them away?]

Anticipating that Megiddo would arrive at their location shortly, Chronois flusteredly asked, but both Lillywood and Magnawell themselves were unable to remain calm in the current situation.

In response to Magnawell’s suggestion of attacking the approaching Megiddo and blowing them away into a sub-dimension, Lillywood was about to reflexively agree but……

“……Ah, no, we can’t! There seemed to be people on his shoulders. This magic power…… Otherworlders? However, it feels different from Kaito-san’s magic power…… then who in the world are they? I- In any case, launching an attack to blow away Megiddo would also harm those two!”

[……If we don’t do that though, we won’t be able to stop them……]

Although their conversation was exchanged in whispers, Chris, who was seated relatively close to them, could hear it and as she contemplated the situation that was about to unfold, her eyes turned as lifeless as that of a dead fish.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai: [The difference between the heartwarming peacefulness of Kaito’s side and the hellish scene unfolding on the Stomachache Warriors’ side after just a few seconds was amazing……]
