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

Now then, Kuro and Fate-san have been taken away by Alice. I think there’s probably gonna be some decisive moment-like battle going on in the subspace, but the question is what I should do now that I am left behind.

As I was thinking this, the view suddenly changed and I was teleported to the Sanctuary.

[……Arehh? The Sanctuary?]

[Since Kaito-san seemed to be free, the attentive lover that I am, I called you here to have some tea together with me so you won’t be bored waiting for them.]

[I- I see…… Thank you.]

She sure emphasized that “attentive lover” part a lot. I feel like her expression looked somewhat smug. Well, but I certainly was wondering what to do while the others left me behind, so I’m grateful for her offer.

I sat down at the seat that Shiro-san had prepared for me and drank tea. I feel like I’m starting to forget my original purpose for going around here and there…… seeking the possibilities of baby castellas.

[Isn’t it fine, forgetting it all together?]

[No, well…… Since I’ve already gone along with her this far, I’m going to stay with her on this until the end.]

[The God that I am, I will tell you my prediction. At first, she will make them seriously, but soon, she will start mixing multiple methods and ingredients, turning things chaotic……]

[Please stop with the nasty predictions. And most of all, I’m afraid that it’s going to come true.]

In fact, I did feel like that was going to happen. At the stage where she tries to make them right away, she will probably keep it safe at first, such as making baby castellas using rice flour…… Midway through, I think she’ll start rambling about the pursuit of possibilities, about how infinite it apparently was, and start mixing up a lot of different things.

It’s no exaggeration to say that whether or not that can be controlled well will make the difference between life and death when her creations actually get eaten. Let’s make a firm assumption hereafter and prepare for that.

[Well then, in preparation for Kaito-san who stands before a rough path, let’s have baby castellas as our teacakes.]

[……I’m troubled whether you’re being concerned or am harassing me———- Delicious!]

Even though I knew I was going to have to eat a mountain of baby castellas after this, I was hungry so I tried to eat some, and was surprised.

How should I say this…… It tasted really good. It doesn’t have a particularly special taste to it, but it was just the way I liked it.

[What are these baby castellas? They taste really great.]

[They’re baby castellas that change flavor depending on the person’s favorite taste. I just created them.]

[………………..]

Then, wouldn’t this be the ultimate baby castella? In a way, this is just too perfect of a solution……

[I did serve it to Kuro before…… but she just started saying stuff along the lines of “Can one really say that being the most delicious makes it the ultimate?”, talking about philosophical things at length, so I remember ignoring what she was saying.]

[I can see that. I feel like she would talk endlessly about nonsensical stuff.]

[It really was long, so I stopped listening at all halfway through.]

[I think that’s the right choice.]

Somehow, I get the impression that what Kuro is looking for is the ultimate (conceptually speaking), and the time and trial-and-error to pursue such a thing are also part of the goal.

That’s why, even if the best-tasting baby castellas appeared with Shiro-san’s almighty power, that wouldn’t satisfy Kuro. She might say something like “If the process of getting there isn’t included, that isn’t enough”.

[Well, I guess for Kuro, improving baby castellas is kind of a hobby.]

[Maybe so. The reason why she likes it so much, even I don’t really know about it either……]

[Even if she were to explain that to me, I don’t think I would understand.]

[That’s right.]

Hearing my words, the corners of Shiro-san’s lips slightly lifted and chuckled. Since she must have known Kuro for a long time, she might be feeling half-exasperated and half-amused.

While I was thinking this, a black vortex appeared and Kuro appeared.

[Hey, Shiro! If you’re gonna bring Kaito-kun away, you could have at least told me something! I was so surprised when we returned and he wasn’t there. Well, I immediately knew right away that he was here in the Sanctuary since I can’t tell where he is……]

I might be digressing here, but since the Sanctuary disables all detection, it seems like it would be impossible to search for someone with Detection Magic while they’re in the Sanctuary.

Though I say that, in my case, I basically nullify that kind of magic with Shiro-san’s Blessing, so in the first place, it seems that I can’t be detected by anyone other than Kuro and a few other people.

And since Kuro and those few other people who can detect me know that I’m in close contact with Shiro, they can tell right away that I’m in the Sanctuary if they can’t detect me.

[Well, it doesn’t matter. We were going to come to Shiro’s place after visiting Fate-chan anyway……]

[Fumu, do you have business with me? As long as it’s not about the possibilities of baby castellas, let’s hear it.]

At any rate, there is one thing I’m concerned about now. That is, whether they will start another fight here……

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Now then, have they finished gathering all suggestions now? In the LN, the result of mixing everything was a safe one…… but this time, with there being too many opinions mixed in, will things develop differently?]
