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

Chapter 2593 - Demon Realm Amusement Park ㉔

I was a little surprised by the words Fate-san stated so casually, but I decided to ask about the God of Fortune-san she had mentioned.

[Fate-san, you said you brought God of Fortune-san with you…… did you come together?]

[Unn. I brought her along so I could have her handle things in my place. God of Fortune is more than enough to attract attention, and she said she was interested in the amusement park too.]

[I see. You didn’t bring Shia-san?]

[Hm~~ It’s not exactly work after all. Heck, God of Calamity came here herself, invited separately from me…… Even before the Gods changed the way they viewed things, God of Calamity used to visit the Demon Realm and Human Realm often, so she’s got her own connections. And since she loves new things, I’m sure she came.]

Now that she mentioned it, that made sense. Shia-san was very sensitive to trends, or rather, the type who wanted to try anything new at least once. She had even obtained information on Kuro’s instant products before they became popular and bought every variety. Apparently, she’d also purchased all of Nifty’s products.

And from what she’d told me when we met before, she’d made reservations and already visited all three of Nifty’s cafés. She intended to keep going until she’d conquered the entire menu. She had complained that they should add more items with less sweetness, but despite saying she wasn’t good with sweets, she still tried every dessert item at least once.

Anyhow, she’s always quick to hear about new products, so I really do think she has her own information network. Shia-san also performs things like warding off misfortune and is very friendly toward Humans and Demons alike, so she probably has quite a wide circle of acquaintances.

Well, putting Shia-san aside, what mattered right now was God of Fortune-san.

[……So, where is this God of Fortune-san?]

[No, she’s right there. I don’t know why she won’t come over…… Oiiii~~ God of Fortune, come over here and say hello to Kai-chan~~]

Looking in the direction Fate-san called toward, a God-ish woman stepped quietly out from behind a building. She had long, shimmering platinum-blonde hair and yellow eyes rather than golden ones. She was around 160 cm tall and had a calm demeanor. Her white, God-ish clothes were adorned with golden embroidery here and there. They weren’t excessively flashy, but they gave off a sense of luxury…… or rather, being told she was the God of Fortune, she possessed a solemnity that made it feel as though my luck would improve just by looking at her.

And yet, for some reason…… She had eyes that looked as though “they were filled with despair, grief, and resignation all at once”…… Why?

[……God of Fortune? Why are you making that face? It’s Kai-chan, you know?]

[……I didn’t want to meet him.]

[Why? Do you hate Kai-chan?]

[No. He is a revered individual blessed by Shallow Vernal-sama, and I am sincerely grateful that he caused the God of Fate to actually do her work, so I have an extremely favorable impression of him as a person…… but I didn’t want to meet him.]

What was with this reaction……? She didn’t dislike me at all, in fact, she seemed to think highly of me, but with God of Fortune-san looking like a dead fish and saying from the bottom of her heart that she hadn’t wanted to meet me, I had no idea what kind of response I was supposed to give.

[I don’t really get it, but introduce yourself to Kai-chan first.]

[……I see…… So this is where I am to be publicly executed.]

[……Why?]

[……Because this is an introduction. Which means I am about to call myself the “God of Fortune” in front of “someone far luckier than I am”…… Doesn’t that make me a complete clown……?]

[Ahhh, so that’s what you meant by not wanting to meet him……]

Fate-san wore an understanding expression, and only then did I finally understand what the God of Fortune-san had meant when “she said she hadn’t wanted to meet me”.

God of Fortune-san let out a resigned sigh, composed herself, and turned to face me.

[Nice to meet you. I serve directly under the God of Fate. I am Fortune, the God of Fortune…… Ah, though my luck is inferior to yours…… I do preside over fortune…… technically…… yes.]

[Ah, errr, I’m Miyama Kaito. Nice to meet you, Fortune-san.]

[Ahhh, it’s blinding…… You truly are a monster of luck. It feels like my eyes are going to melt. At this point, shouldn’t you be the God of Fortune instead……?]

She had an expression like her very identity had been shattered to pieces. Even though I hadn’t done anything, somehow it felt like I was bullying her……

[Errr…… Fate-san?]

[The God of Fortune can actually see other people’s luck, you know~~? The stronger someone’s luck is, the brighter they appear to her. So is Kai-chan really that amazing?]

[……It’s like having the sun right in front of me. If I actually looked him in the eyes for too long, I feel like the brightness would blind me.]

……So that’s why she’d been avoiding eye contact and keeping her gaze lowered diagonally the whole time……

[Geez, can we have enough of this…… Compared to this person, my luck might as well belong to an ordinary person…… It’s like comparing a single drop of water to the ocean. I feel like I’m being crushed under the weight of his luck.]

Well, how should I say this…… it wasn’t as though I had intended any of this, but apparently…… due to the countless blessings of various Gods piled on top of each other, I possessed enough luck to drive even the God of Fortune into despair.

Unn, how should I say this…… what kind of reaction was I supposed to have in a situation like this…… That was a difficult question indeed.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [It’s not exactly stomachache…… but it looks like her identity’s been shattered into tiny pieces.]
