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

Chapter 2525 - Bipolar God Tiana ⑧

After that, Tiana-san continued bringing out several strange ingredients I wasn’t familiar with and let me try them. It really felt like I was experiencing otherworld culture, everything was fresh and incredibly enjoyable.

[Hmm, things from other worlds really are fresh and interesting. When I first came to Trinia, I was pretty confused by a lot of things, but this reminds me of that same feeling, like everything was new.]

Thanks in part to the past Hero Actors, Trinia already had a foundation that made it easier for otherworlders to adapt, so I was able to settle in fairly naturally. Even so, I still remember being surprised by things like magic. And when it came to food ingredients, I was definitely shocked, like the worm meat I tried on a date with Kuro, or that edible flower that can bite you.

[The ability to experience that kind of freshness might actually be a point where someone like Kaito-kun clearly surpasses people like us World Creators. At least for me, when you possess the power of omniscience, it’s hard to come across that kind of fresh surprise…… In that sense, maybe having greater power doesn’t necessarily mean you’re better.]

[I see, that way of thinking is really wonderful. I can understand why Canalis-san said you’re such a kind and good person, Tiana-san.]

[Thank you. But if I seem like a kind and good person to you, I think it’s not just because of me, it’s also because you’re a kind and good kid, Kaito-kun. After all, when someone treats you kindly, it makes you want to be kind in return, right?]

[That might be true.]

From what we’d talked about so far, my impression was that Tiana-san truly was an incredibly kind and good person. Her whole atmosphere was gentle and calm, and while she accepted my praise honestly, she would also praise me in return. Even though she possessed the outrageous power of omniscience and omnipotence, she didn’t act arrogant or flaunt her strength at all.

Canalis-san and Electrone-san were also wonderful people, but Canalis-san was always expressionless, while Electrone-san had something like a switch in her mood and could be a bit quirky. Compared to them, among the World Creators of other worlds I know, Tiana-san felt the most straightforward and easiest to talk to.

In fact, if it were Tiana-san, I felt like even if I introduced her to Lilia-san, the two of them would probably get along just fine without Lilia-san ending up with a stomachache.

[……But after seeing some of the items you showed me, it feels like the civilization in your world is much more advanced than the one I used to live in.]

[Yeah. Since the ecosystem and the structure of the world are different, it’s not something that can be compared one-to-one but…… from Kaito-kun’s perspective, it might feel like a science-fiction kind of world. Well, at least the world I created is.]

[Oh right, now that you mention it, you’re also managing the world Canalis-san created, right? Isn’t it tough managing two worlds?]

I knew from Canalis-san that Tiana-san had been entrusted with managing the world she created.

Managing two worlds already sounded like a lot of work to me, so I asked about it. Tiana-san gave a wry smile and scratched her cheek, and as she moved, I heard a faint jingling sound like a bell.

[Ah, well, actually, it’s not just two. At the moment, I’m managing about 4,853 worlds.]

[……Eh? Errr, you mean not planets or universes, but entire worlds themselves……?]

[Unn. I only created one world myself though. Canalis had special circumstances, but besides that…… how should I put it? It’s not exactly something to brag about, but sometimes, World Creators get bored of managing their worlds and ask me to take over. Other times, the World Creator disappears for various reasons, leaving their world behind, or they simply abandon it. As I took those worlds in, the number gradually grew.]

Tiana-san said this with a wry smile, but the idea of managing nearly 5000 worlds alone was completely unbelievable, on a scale I couldn’t even begin to imagine.

[There are cases where a World Creator disappears because they lost a battle with another World Creator, or simply because their power wasn’t very strong and they had a lifespan. Those situations can’t really be helped…… but when they abandon a world out of boredom or just cast it aside, the creator might not care, but the people living in that world are pitiful, so I try to take those worlds in whenever I can.]

[That’s…… well…… isn’t that really difficult?]

[Hmmm, not really. I’m not managing them in such a detailed way, so it hardly takes any effort. Each world already has its own ecosystem and way of life after all, and I rarely interfere with them. But that doesn’t mean it’s fine to just leave them alone either. Worlds are actually pretty complex. Sometimes the flow of energy gets distorted and holes can open up in the dimensional walls. So I just deal with problems like that…… things the inhabitants of those worlds wouldn’t be able to handle on their own.]

Tiana-san didn’t seem burdened at all while saying this. For her, managing multiple worlds apparently was something she could do almost as a side task.

Come to think of it, Canalis-san had also done things like having her main body exist in multiple places at the same time. For someone like Tiana-san, the number of worlds probably wasn’t much of a problem.

Still, even though she spoke of it as if it were the most natural thing in the world, the way she casually extended a helping hand to worlds that had been abandoned by their creators, even though she hadn’t created them herself, made it clear that her kindness came from the heart. How should I say this…… It was a story on a truly massive scale, but somehow, it left me with a warm feeling in my chest.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [I see. So aside from being ridiculously strong, she doesn’t have any quirks in her appearance or the way she talks…… And it’s not like she’d go into some jealousy-crazed berserk gorilla mode toward Kaito himself either. From Kaito’s perspective, she’s incredibly easy to get along with…… Just like Canalis and the others said, her getting permission to visit would certainly be a breeze.]
