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

Chapter 1870: Before the Ship Party Starts ⑩

It’s naturally not only Demons who are invited to the party, but also the Gods. The criteria for someone to receive an invitation to this party was for one to have introduced themselves to Kaito. Regardless of whether they’re a High-ranked God or a Low-ranked God, invitations have been sent to the Gods Kaito is acquainted with.

And now, Hina rushed up to one of the Gods who had finished logging-in in the reception lobby with a somewhat happy expression on her face.

[Sky-san! Hello!]

[Hello, Hina-san. That’s a lovely dress, it suits Hina-san well.]

[Ehehe, thank you. It’s my favorite dress, one that Kaito-senpai bought me before. Ah, your dress is also very nice, Sky-san! It got the feel of an elegant, mature lady, making you look cool!]

[Fufu, thank you.]

The God of Sky, who had guided Kaito and the others at the White God Festival, Sky smiled gently. Perhaps due to their compatible personalities, Hina fondly admires the gentle and kind Sky as if she were her older sister. Having received her Temporary Blessing, they continued to deepen their interactions even after the White God Festival, and having received word that she would be attending the party as well, she couldn’t wait to come to the lobby to pick Sky up.

[……How’s your work as an adventurer going lately?]

[It’s doing good. I went on an expedition with Aoi-senpai a while ago……]

Sky, with a gentle smile on her lips, speaks kindly to the happily chattering Hina. While the concept of family is still not fully understood by Sky, one of the Gods where hierarchy exists but familial ties do not, it seems that she still finds her connection with Hina desirable, as if one looks at them by the side, they seem to exude an atmosphere akin to that of close sisters.

Smiling wryly at Hina’s excited demeanor, Aoi, who had come to the lobby together with her, called out to the other God nearby…… the God who had bestowed a Temporary Blessing upon Aoi, Earth God, Gaia.

[Hello, Gaia-sama.]

[Yes, hello, Aoi-san. Nice to meet you today.]

[Nice to meet you too…… By the way, are Gaia-sama and Sky-sama being here alright?]

Since the White God Festival, Aoi has visited the God Realm multiple times with Hina and interacted with Gaia. Gaia is highly knowledgeable, especially regarding Earth Magic, which Aoi excels in, making Gaia someone Aoi highly respects.

Naturally, as a God, Gaia has authority over the earth and can do almost anything related to earth with her power. However, Gaia isn’t one to rely solely on her Authority, and has mastered all the magic related to the earth. With her profound knowledge, Gaia provided various pieces of advice to Aoi, who was still in the midst of improvement, and the relationship between the two was good.

[Being here…… Ahh, you’re wondering if we don’t have to stay with Shallow Vernal-sama? We have been given special instructions this time, and due to the nature of this ship and the party, it’s difficult for all the Gods to gather, so assisting Shallow Vernal-sama will be handled by the Supreme Gods…… The High-ranked God and Low-ranked Gods are instructed to attend the party as regular guests unless we receive instructions otherwise.]

[I see, it’s true that no matter how big the ship is and how spacious the venue is, it’s not possible for all the Gods to come. But thanks to that, it looks like I’ll be able to talk with Gaia-sama leisurely, which makes me happy.]

[Now that you mentioned it, that also makes me happy. Even though I understand what event this is in knowledge, this is my first time attending a party like this, so there may be some things I could be careless about, so I hope Aoi-san can teach me about those things.]

[Ahaha, I wonder if there’s anything I can teach Gaia-sama…… I will do my best.]

While they were having a peaceful conversation like this, Hina looked as if she suddenly realized something and asked Sky.

[Sky-san, you and Gaia-san came here together?]

[Ahh, no, we came together with the other High-ranked Gods who received an invitation as a group. As for the Low-ranked Gods……. those like God of Love, who have temples in the Human Realm, it’s faster to go from there, so they have come separately. Right now, they’re over there at the reception de——— Ahh.]

[God of Sky? Is something the——— Oya……]

Sky, mentioning that the other High-ranked Gods are also present, shifts her gaze but suddenly freezes, prompting Gaia to tilt her head in confusion and look in the same direction, to which an indescribable expression also appears on her face.

At the direction their gazes were at, near the reception desk, a High-ranked God who had come with them was facing a Demon who happened to be passing by.

[……It’s been a while, God of Ocean Marine-san.]

[……Yes, it’s been a while, Sea Dragon Eingana-san.]

They greeted each other by name. They were completely natural movements…… However, it was unknown if the onlookers were just seeing things or not, but it felt as if sparks flew between the two’s clashing gazes.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Aaahhh, those two met huh……]
