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

Chapter 58 - It Seems that Neun-san was the Hero

Giving Isis-san a brief tour around the mansion, but it was just as I thought, everyone is frightened by the magic power of death that Isis-san was clad in, and it seems that it would be difficult for us to talk in rooms with many people in it like the dining room.

Lilia-san is still unconscious, so I left her under Lunamaria-san and Chronois-san’s care, and after asking to only bring us a cup of tea, I brought Isis-san into my room.

Honestly, that’s the choice I made after thinking that it would be easier for Isis-san as well, as there are no other eyes on her.

It may look like there would be problems in a situation where a woman is alone in a man’s room if you were just reading it from this novel…… And even if the words “All men are wolves” states that I’m a wolf, Isis-san would be something like a dinosaur or a dragon, so there wouldn’t be any problems at all.

By the way, my room…… this room that Lilia-san lent me is honestly too large for one person, and this is just a guess, but I think that this room is prepared for important guests.

The room is so large that you’d think it was a hotel suite, and although it’s just an estimate, I think it would be more than 15 tatami mats. There’s a large bed, high-class furniture, and even a sofa and table for guests.

As soon as I offered the guest sofa to Isis-san, who was looking around the room with great interest as soon as she entered the room, Lunamaria-san immediately brought us tea and cookies.

As expected, even Lunamaria-san would tremble when she’s close to Isis-san, so fearing that she would accidentally drop her tea, I received it at the entrance of the room and brought it to the table myself.

[Here, Isis-san.]

[……Thanks…… Thank you for the meal.]

With a small smile on her face as she sat down across from me, Isis-san received the tea and sipped some, and then brought a cookie into her mouth.

Those cookies look like they’re bite-sized enough to me, but Isis-san still broke that cookie in two and ate each piece with a small mouthful.

Isis-san, who has the appearance of a fleeting beauty, smiling as she eats a cookie with her small mouth, looks as adorable as a small animal, making all the people who see her have smiles on their faces.

[……Delicious.]

[I’m glad that you like it. Though I said that, it’s not like I’m the one who made those cookies……]

[……No…… If I’m together with Kaito…… anything I eat…… tastes great.]

[Ah, errr, thank you very much.]

How should I say this, Isis-san is unlike the other people I’ve been around with before.

She holds tremendous power, but she’s ladylike and somehow looks fragile…… If I were to compare her to something, she would be like a snowflake, a beauty holding unto a delicate loveliness, and how should I say this… It’s like she really emanates femininity.

And I’m feeling strangely embarrassed by the fact that Isis-san is turning her unconcealed favorable emotions towards me.

As Isis-san was looking at me who was in that kind of situation with a really happy smile on her face, as if she’s curious, her gaze began to move around my room.

[……Kaito’s room…… looks beautiful.]

[I tried to make it as clean as when I borrowed it. I think the only thing I brought into this room myself was books.]

[……Does Kaito…… like books?]

[Yeah, I used to read a lot of novels and stuff like that back in my world.]

Well, most of them were light novels though…… but I don’t think it would be an exaggeration to call myself a book lover.

When Isis-san hears my words, she seems to have a happier expression than she did before.

[……I also…… read…… lots of books.]

[Really? I guess we have that in common.]

[……Unnn…… Having something in common with Kaito…… makes me happy.]

[Ahaha, in that case, Isis-san has lots of books back in your home?]

[……If I remember correctly…… I think I have about…… 10 million books.]

That was a lot more than I had expected though!? That’s almost like…… No, her home had completely turned into a library……

Anyway, Isis-san seems to like books, and perhaps, because she’s happy to have found a common hobby with me, but her voice sounds more enthusiastic than before.

[That’s amazing…… Isis-san must really like books.]

[……I like…… Kaito more.]

[Ah, errr, thank you very much. T- That’s right! I don’t know much about books in this world, so if you can tell me about any books you find interesting, that would be great.]

Her pure favorability punched straight towards me. I don’t know if it’s because of happiness or embarrassment…… but my heart’s strangely beating fast.

[……Unnn…… What books…… does Kaito like?]

[Hmmm. I like books that were based on legends. I guess something like adventure stories? That’s what I’ve been reading recently.]

While answering Isis-san’s question, I brought out the book I bought a few days ago and just finished yesterday…… A book that’s telling the story about the adventures of the First Hero.

It was recommended to me by Kuro, so I bought it, and it was quite interesting.

It is based on historical facts, but since there’s magic in this world, it kinda looks like a fantasy novel and I was so engrossed in the story that I finished it quickly.

[……I’ve also…… read that book before…… It was interesting.]

[Yeah, it was quite an exciting book, a true adventure story. It was apparently based on a true story, so that means it really happened, right?]

[……Unnn…… That book is…… quite faithful to history…… but…… some things are different.]

[Is that so?]

The book tells the story of the First Hero’s subjugation of the Demon King, and if they were to exactly base it on history, it would essentially turn into an adventure story that won’t be written in just a single book.

However, the story up to the defeat of the Demon King was written in considerable detail, but after that, the story of how the Treaty of Friendship between the three realms was just summarized.

Probably because this is a book written in the Human Realm, or perhaps, because of the effects of the Information Concealment Magic, there aren’t many details about the Six Kings.

Since Isis-san is one of the Six Kings who knew what happened around those days, she probably knows which part of the book was embellished.

It’s like hearing the hidden truth behind a story, and it’s making me a bit excited.

[……It was written in the book…… that she had returned to her previous world….. but…… she actually didn’t return…… and stayed…… together with Kuromueina.]

[S- Speaking of which, Kuro also said something like that. She said that I’ve already met her……]

[……She is now…… calling herself…… “Neun”.]

[……………….]

I feel like something earth-shattering and extremely important has just been revealed.

I mean, eh? That is to say, is that really what I think it is? Neun-san…… is the First Hero?

I see. Now that she mentioned it, indeed…… If I were to also base it on what Kuro said about how I already met her, the only ex-otherworlder I’ve met since I came to this world is Neun-san.

[Ummm, that sounds really important……]

[……Hikari…… said that…… don’t tell the others.]

[Errr, and it’s fine for me to know about this?]

[……Unnn…… rather than Hikari…… I like Kaito more…… that’s why…… it’s alright.]

I have no idea what’s alright with that, but I guess, from Isis-san’s point of view, it doesn’t seem to be a problem for her even if she tells me the identity of the First Hero.

Well, I might also lead to this answer if I just thoroughly think about what Kuro had said, so as long as I don’t go around telling people about it, I guess it should be okay, right?

Yeah, even Neun-san might also have Information Concealment Magic around her anyway.

I may have found this out because I’ve spoken to Neun-san myself or because one of the Six Kings is telling me about it, but she may have done appropriate measures so that other people aside from me won’t hear it.

How should I say this… I feel like I’ve found out an extraordinary secret, but well, it should be alright since Isis-san seems to be having fun, right?

Dear Mom, Dad—– Isis-san seems to like book. Also, I found out something new—– It seems that Neun-san was a hero.

{Author’s Notes}

I feel like the Death King has such a high level of Heroine Power that it seems like she’s leaving behind more than half of the women that have appeared in Kaito’s life.
