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

Chapter 1272 - Ten-Tailed Fox ①

It was a very good day, with a clear, cloudless blue sky above us. I am currently in the Northern Demon Realm. This place, which isn’t far from the Land of Death, isn’t a sightseeing spot, as it’s inhabited by many monsters, and there are no other races living nearby.

Even in the Demon Realm, this place is recognized as a dangerous zone. The reason why I am in such a place…… to put it simply, we’re in something like a picnic.

[……Kaito…… How about…… this one?]

[Ahh, that looks nice. It fits the image of the amber from the book.]

Isis-san’s hobby is collecting items from her favorite book as memorabilia. In a recently released book, this place appeared in a story that both Isis-san and I rated highly, and there was a scene in which a character picks up an amber, so we came to collect it together.

Since it was apparently found in a place with not so many trees as a forest, we weren’t sure if we could really find amber in this place, and if not, we planned to look for another item, but we were able to find it safely.

Although the place was inhabited by many monsters, thanks to Isis-san’s magic power of death, we didn’t see any monsters at all, and we decided to have lunch in a slightly open area.

The lunch box that Isis-san made looks very delicious, and I’m happy to see that it has all my favorite side dishes.

[……Unnn. It’s so delicious! How should I say this…… It kinda feels like Isis-san’s cooking skills are getting better than before.]

[……Iris teaches me from time to time…… If Kaito is happy…… I’m also…… happy.]

[Speaking of which, we found it surprisingly easy in the morning, but what should we do in the afternoon? This area doesn’t seem like a good place for sightseeing……]

[……If it’s with Kaito…… doing anything makes me happy but…… Hmmm…… Should we go to my castle?]

[That might be a good idea. Speaking of which, I got a couple of new books too, so it might be good to read through those.]

It’s just my hunch, but I kinda feel like there has been a book boom recently, with a variety of new books being released. One of the reasons for this is the new Magic Tool announced by the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company a short while ago, which is something like a camera in our world.

It seems that they haven’t completed the video-recording Magic Tool, yet, but it’s probably quite significant that the camera has been completed, which allows them to take pictures.

Because it’s a new technology, that Magic Tool is quite expensive at the moment, but it has attracted a lot of attention because it’s groundbreaking new technology.

[The impact of the camera…… or rather, the Recorder Magic Tool has resulted in the publication of many different books.]

[……Unnn…… There were various things everyone fumbled about…… and we’re still in the stage where we’re trying things out…… but it’s very interesting…… It has a different quality from drawings…… and it’s very good.]

[I personally feel more comfortable with drawings when illustrating stories and such, but for tourist magazines, photographs would make it easier for readers to understand.]

As a book lover, Isis-san seemed to welcome the increase of books in various genres, and our conversation over the meal was quite lively.

Just like that, we continued to enjoy our conversation and meal, and after finishing our bento, we spent a leisurely time relaxing after the meal.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t a sightseeing spot and the scenery wasn’t great, but the weather was very nice, and I felt that the ordinary scenery also had its own flavor.

Holding hands with Isis-san, we sat on a sheet under a large tree and leaned against each other, enjoying the peaceful time.

It was such a happy time that I could have fallen asleep if I wasn’t careful…… but I suddenly felt something strange.

[ ! ? ]

[……Kaito? ———!?]

Isis-san was about to tilt her head at my reaction, but she soon became aware of the same thing I felt and her expression changed to a serious one.

[What is this? I’m kinda feeling restlessness, but it also has this strange feel to it……]

[……What a strange…… flow of magic power…… It comes from that way…… Let’s check it out]

[I understand.]

As Isis-san said, it somehow feels strange. While feeling such a strange magic power that somehow made me uneasy, I moved to the source of that magic power with Isis-san……

And there…… lays a small fox with white fur. Its body was eerily luminous, with that light getting stronger and weaker, as if it were blinking.

The fox was breathing roughly as it lay there, and although no external injuries could be seen, its current state looked unusual.

[I- Isis-san, this is……]

[……It looks like the magic power in its body…… has become very unstable…… It seemed like it was trying to forcibly suppress it…… but the magic power inside its body is too big…… that it can’t control it…… It looks like…… it might explode at any moment.]

[Explode!? No way…… Can’t we somehow…… do something for it?]

Although I didn’t clearly understand the situation, I understood that it was a very bad situation through the suffering being conveyed from the fox through my Sympathy Magic and Isis-san’s voice.

The fox was small, seemingly a child…… The sight of it suffering made my heart ache, and when I reflexively asked that question, a complicated expression appeared on Isis-san’s face.

[……There’s a way to do it…… but it’s difficult…… It’s not like it’s hurt or anything, so Recovery Magic won’t work…… so the only way to help it…… is to rearrange the magic structure of its body.]

[Is it difficult to rearrange that magic structure?]

[……No…… That in itself is no problem…… it’s just…… my magic power of death destroys other magic power…… and that’s why…… I’m not very good…… at mending with magic power.]

Hearing those words reminded me of a story I once heard about…… Isis-san, who was good at destroying isn’t good at fixing things, as just like that time she had failed many times when repairing the broken rocky mountain, ending up causing more destruction instead.

She may have no problem with using magic that enhances the regenerative ability of a person, such as Recovery Magic, but she isn’t good at using magic power to directly heal someone.

For a moment, I thought that I could just ask Alice to do it for us…… but then I saw the look on Isis-san’s face and swallowed the words that had almost come out of my mouth.

Even as she says it would be difficult, the expression on Isis-san’s face didn’t look like she was giving up, and instead, it seemed like she was looking for a way to save the fox……

[……Magic…… Combination———- That’s right!]

[Isis-san?]

[……Kaito…… I need your help…… If it’s with Kaito…… We could help it.]

[……I understand. What do you want me to do?]

I don’t have the option of shaking my head, nor do I need to ask her how we would do that. If Isis-san is asking for my help, I won’t hesitate in cooperating with her.

That’s why, what I’m going to ask is what I should do…… That is enough.

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [……Arehh? Serious-senpai…… What are you doing there, laid down on the bed? Aren’t you gonna watch what happened in this chapter?]

Serious-senpai : [……This is an Isis chapter, right? With her around, it’s gonna be sweet, right? Wake me up when it ends……]

? ? ? : […………………………Sure. (Even though it’s a slightly serious chapter.)]
