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

Chapter 1328 - Founding Festival - Night ⑧

When Illness-san brought me to the roof of the clock tower, I suddenly heard a sound and looked up at the sky to see a large flower blooming in the sky.

It was a rather large firework, and not only that, it was also very colorful. Magic exists in this world, so there are many more colorful and variously shaped fireworks here than in my former world.

[As expected from the fireworks display at a festival for the founding of a country, it’s very impressive.]

[Indeeeeeeed. They’re very colorfuuuuuuul.]

Strangely, even though Illness-san’s voice wasn’t that loud, I could clearly hear it even in the midst of the sound of fireworks.

Isis-san had also used magic with an effect like this, so it’s possible Illness-san was using the same magic.

As I was thinking about this while watching the fireworks, Illness-san spoke with a smile.

[We can sit down, you knooooow? I’ve used Protection Magic on us, so our clothes won’t get dirty.]

[I see, it certainly will be easier for us to watch the fireworks if we sit down.]

Saying this, I sit down on the roof. The roof of this clock tower isn’t so steep, so it’s easy for me to sit on. It’s nice to be able to watch the fireworks from a seat.

As I was thinking this, I suddenly saw Illness-san move behind me. When I tilted my head, wondering what was going on, her hands were placed on my shoulders and my body was pulled behind me.

[I thiiiiiiink you’d be able to see better this waaaaaay.]

[Hoehh?]

As my body fell back, I felt a soft touch on my back, and saw Illness-san’s face smiling at me and the fireworks in the sky.

Errr, is this what I think it is? I’m now laying on Illness-san’s lap, looking up at the sky…… Ahh, so this is why she moved behind me……

I- It’s true that I can see the fireworks better when I’m lying down and looking up, and I don’t have to worry about getting a stiff neck……

However, this is quite embarrassing…… Errr, I wondered if it’s okay from Illness-san’s point of view, but Illness-san was only quietly looking up at the fireworks, and I hesitated to call out to her.

The multicolored lights of the fireworks illuminated her face, and even though it was still the same face I see everyday, I had this illusion that I was seeing many various expressions on her face.

……Wait, aren’t I supposed to be watching fireworks here? Why is it that my eyes are just looking Illness-san? I should turn my attention back to the fireworks……

Glancing at Kaito, who was concentrating on the fireworks with a slight blush on his face, Illness’ mind wandered.

(I may have been a bit too forcefuuuuul. I should be reflecting on my actioooooons, but this is quiiiiiiite troubling. I can’t suppress the joy bursting in meeeeee~~)

Looking back, this was the case for her from the beginning. At first, she didn’t intend to visit Kaito’s stall. She had already tried making baby castellas with him during their practice, and Illness herself isn’t a big fan of festivals.

She had been to a few festivals in the past. However, she couldn’t understand the situation around her surroundings or the reactions of the people around her.

The feeling of joy and the sight of people laughing with each other didn’t overlap with her in any way, so she felt that she had nothing to do with festivals and wouldn’t need it in the future.

However, this time…… She found herself attending a festival after work…… and made her way to Kaito’s stall. Her heart fluttered with each step closer. Seeing Kaito happily smiling at the stall, Illness felt happy and fulfilled.

When we were tending the store together after that, it was a moment of blessedness that each and every second Illness spent together with Kaito feels precious to her. Even that should have been more than enough for her, but now, she’s watching fireworks together with Kaito.

(……This is happineeeeeess. I would be happieeeeeer if Kaito-sama also feels the same caaaaase.)

As such thoughts wander in her mind, a small smile leaked out of Illness’ lips. While her eyes are looking at the sky, she sees a number of fireworks in the sky.

However, if she were to be asked if she was concentrating on the fireworks, she could only say that that wasn’t the case.

(This is troubliiiiing. I should be watching the firewoooooorks, but all I keep on thinking about is Kaito-samaaaaa and my attention could only focus on hiiiiiim.)

Kaito felt the same thing as her not crossing her mind, Illness gently patted Kaito’s head, who was laying on her lap.

(I must keep my head from turning towards him, riiiiiight?)

The reason she kept her gaze up to the sky…… was that Illness herself was aware that she was making a relaxed face right now, and reflecting upon the happiness of having Kaito in her embrace, she was clearly aware of the enchanted expression she has on her face right now.

Somehow, having such an expression on her face be seen by Kaito…… she was feeling a bit…… just a tiny, little bit…… She was feeling a bit embarrassed.

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [Hoh, Pandemonium got shy…… She certainly changed. By the way, Serious-senpai, just eating all these candies is getting boring, so please go secrete chocolates or something.]

Serious-senpai : [………………. (The only response she could muster were the words “Don’t say impossible things” popping above her head.]
