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

Chapter 1723: Evening Founding Festival with Shallow Vernal ⑥

After enjoying the festival while visiting several stalls with Shiro-san, we decided to move on to the clock tower as it was around the time when one can say it was almost evening.

There was still some time before dusk, but it would be better to go there early. After all, if we get there later than dusk, time will rewind and Laguna-san’s and Chronois-san’s stomachs will be severely damaged, so I have to be very careful……

Well, if we go at the current time, we should easily make it by evening, so there should be no problem at all.

[……Arehh? Shiro-san, is something the matter?]

[Kaito-san, look over there. They’re doing a play.]

[Eh? Ahh, you’re right.]

Noticing Shiro-san stopping, I shifted my gaze in the direction she pointed at, and indeed, there seemed to be a play going on there, with a large tent similar to the target shooting tent and a signboard describing the performance.

Errr, does this mean that? Do you want to see it?

[When one speaks of couple dates, going to the movies is a staple.]

[I guess so…… That isn’t exactly a movie but…… well, while we’re here, should we go watch then? It should just be an hour at most, and we have plenty of time to spare.]

There’s still plenty of time until sunset. According to what was written on the signboard, each performance seems to last about an hour, so even if we watch one, we’ll have more than enough time.

If the roads were crowded, it would be a different story, but throughout this Founding Festival, we can move remarkably smoothly, almost unnaturally so, which I suppose was thanks to the cordial support of someone like Fate-san.

Together with Shiro-san, we bought tickets at the reception and headed inside the tent. The next performance was about to start, so our timing was perfect.

The title of the play was “Hero of the Forest”, which sounds like an adventure play?

[I can’t wait to see what play they’re having.]

[Indeed. Apparently, it’s the story of a young man who came from another world and saved the city of the Elves.]

[……………………Unnn? Eh? Shiro-san? What did you just……]

[The play is about a young man who came from another world and saved the city of the Elves, and as it’s based on an actual event that happened, it’s exploding in popularity among the Elves.]

[……………..]

I have a bad feeling about this. A feeling so bad unlike any bad feelings I’ve ever had before. I hope I’m wrong…… However, I feel like the current flow of events has proven everything so far.

Shiro-san actually stopped and showed interest in something, in other words, this is a story about me…… Isn’t this that? A play based on that book about me that’s apparently a hot topic among the Elves…… GET ME OUT OF HERE! IT HASN’T EVEN STARTED YET, AND I’M ALREADY FEELING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF SHAME HERE!!!

[It’s alright. They didn’t just copy exactly what was in the book, as they made proper arrangements as well.]

[A- Ahh, I see. If that’s the case……]

That book had also been quite considerate to me, using pseudonyms in place for the protagonist and the other characters’ names. Well, the fact that it’s actually talking about me is actually common knowledge among the Elven community, so pseudonyms don’t really hold any meaning there, but with it being done through a play like this, there should be no chance of people realizing it was about me.

……I mean, in the first place, that book has been completely transformed into a different story through a mountain of embellishments. Heck, it even resembles the Hero’s Tale, and to be honest, I would have found it quite interesting if I just thought that the story wasn’t modeled after me.

……W- Well, if I don’t think this play is modeled after me, there should be no problem. No, well, embarrassing things are still embarrassing……

While looking at the tent containing Kaito and Shallow Vernal, the Supreme Gods were conversing in preparation for future developments.

[Regarding the matter with Earth God, there’s nothing we can do for the time being, so we will have to leave her alone.]

[Indeed. For the time being, the most pressing issue is the clock tower…… If my Authority takes effect, I could have established that they would arrive at the most beautiful time for the sunset, but it won’t work on Kai-chan and Shallow Vernal-sama……]

[Considering the scheduled end time of a play, it would be ideal for them to arrive at the clock tower 47 minutes after it ends. Including the situation in the vicinity, we should be fully prepared.]

While Fate was making assumptions about future developments, Fate suddenly noticed something in the leaflet held by Life…… a leaflet depicting the program’s details, and tilted her head.

[Hey, God of Life. That performance…… Isn’t the break between the current performance and the next one unusually long?]

[Now that you mentioned it, it is indeed longer than the others. It’s possible that there might be another performance held during that break……]

[I see…… Hey, God of Time and Space. I kinda have a bad feeling about this, you know?]

[……What a coincidence, so do I.]

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [When Kaito and Lilia are being optimistic, things don’t go well. That’s already a sure thing~~ Good grief, how pitiful. You could say they truly had a stable Flag-gathering constitution……]

? ? ? : [……Senpai, you know what “boomerang” is? It’s gonna strike you right in the head so cleanly you’d be surprised, you know?]
