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

Chapter 1570 - Archlesia Empire Founding Festival ⑩

In the reception room at the castle of the Archlesia Empire, there was Lillywood, who had just arrived. As soon as Lillywood arrived at the castle, she heard from Chris, who came to greet her, the Chronois and the other Supreme Gods were looking for her, so she came to the reception room where the Supreme Gods were, tilting her head without any idea what was going on.

“So, what was your business with me?”

[Yeah, sorry for suddenly calling you here. It’s about this drink made from the Fruit of the World Tree, which had roughly doubled our abilities. This is the first time we’ve heard of such an effect, but is this one of the abilities of the Fruit of the World Tree, or perhaps……]

“Yes, that’s the effect of the Fruit of Nebula’s World Tree. The World Tree in Kaito-san’s house seemed to have undergone a strange mutation, and the effect of her fruit is different from normal. It has the power to temporarily increase the ability of those who eat it…… But when I checked it before, its boosting effect should be 1.5 times the user’s. Has it been improved? Or perhaps, does it have a different effect when consumed by Gods? Well, I suppose I’ll check on that later.”

[See, it really is just the Fruit of Neburin’s World Tree being special, wasn’t it?]

[That seems to be the case…… Even so, why do so many strange things gather around Miyama?]

After listening to Lillywood’s explanation, Chronois and the others seemed to be relieved, happy that they solved the mystery of the Fruit of the World Tree drink. The effect of doubling Chronois and the others’ abilities is quite tremendous, but as it wasn’t something that’s publicly distributed, and knowing that Lillywood already knew about it, they seemed to have decided that it wouldn’t be a problem.

[Sorry for the troubles, World King.]

“No, please don’t worry about it. Well then, I will go to the room I have been assigned. I’m sure Magnawell should be here by now.”

[I would also head out to greet Dragon King-sama……]

With the problem solved, Lillywood moved to another room, while Chris also left the room to greet Magnawell.

As Lillywood was moving towards the room prepared for her though, one of her dependents came running up to her, looking a bit flustered.

[……Lillywood-sama, there’s something I need to urgently report……]

“What is it?”

[War King-sama had apparently been sighted in their Humanized form in the Imperial Capital……]

“Megiddo was? Why were they……”

After listening to the information from her dependent, Lillywood looked surprised and thought about it. Only Lillywood and Magnawell will participate in the Founding Festival’s ceremony, and Megiddo is not scheduled to participate.

In the first place, the information she heard was that Megiddo was sighted in the city, so she was able to guess that she had come to the Founding Festival for some kind of purpose other than participating in the ceremony.

“……I see, they came here to buy Dwarven alcohol huh. Well, that shouldn’t be a problem then. Megiddo certainly is a troublemaker, but I don’t think they’re interested in the Founding Festival itself, so they’ll probably go home as soon as they buy their alcohol.”

[I suppose so. This year, the Dwarves’ alcohol-related store seemed to be located away from the center of the city, so there’s little chance their presence would cause a commotion.]

“Yes, indeed, according to the map, they are far away from the central plaza, so we can be relieved…… re…… lieved……”

[L- Lillywood-sama?] The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the Noᴠelꜰɪre.nᴇt

Megiddo’s Humanized form is moderately well-known, and since Megiddo walks around cities without using Recognition Inhibition or Information Concealment Magic, intending not to hide anything, Lillywood concluded that although Megiddo’s presence would likely cause a commotion, it should be fine since she was just here to buy alcohol, but immediately after looking at the map, her expression turned pale.

“……K- Kaito-san’s shop is near that area.”

[E- Ehhh!?]

Yes, the Dwarves’ alcohol-related store that Megiddo might be after is near Kaito’s store this time, and if things continue as they were, it was highly likely that Megiddo would stop by Kaito’s stall.

“N- No, that said, that doesn’t mean that there will be trouble…… h- however, what is this? This uneasiness I’m feeling……”

Feeling an indescribable sense of unease, Lillywood looked at the view of Archlesia Empire’s Imperial Capital from the window with an anxious expression on her face.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [A- A chain reaction is occurring, stomach pains are triggering further stomach pains. H- However, is there a pattern here that leads to Lillywood’s stomachache?]

? ? ? : [Megiddo-san goes to Kaito-san’s shop → Hears from Kaito-san that Lillywood-san and Magnawell-san are attending the ceremony → “Alright, then I’ll show up too”, or so the stupid gorilla simply thinks → Chris-san and company gets a full course stomachache.]

Serious-senpai : [……There’s still something pursuing Chris huh……]
