I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN) C.1904: Intermission: ●●●●● Part 3

Sanctuary, God Realm…… There, Shallow Vernal and ●●●●●, both of whom in a sense, had a fate connected with each other, were facing each other. That said, Shallow Vernal had almost no memory of the time when she was still the phenomenon known as The End until she got acquainted with Makina and acquired a certain degree of ego, and she had forgotten everything except those that left a strong impression on her, like Nebula.

However, as for the ●●●●● in front of her, although she didn't understand why at that time, this person was the only one among those who fled to another world that she "let escape", so she did somewhat have an impression of her.

[……First of all, let me say this: I have no grudge against you, and I have no intention of harming this world.]

[Fumu, I understand.]

[The reason I came here…… No, I won't beat around the bush and ask you straight to the point. Did you…… resurrect Nebula?]

[Yes.]

[…………….]

The shock that these words, spoken so nonchalantly, had on ●●●●● was great. She doesn't know what intentions Shallow Vernal has, but Nebula has been resurrected…… That fact alone seeped into her heart as unspeakable happiness, bringing tears to her eyes that had lost their light.

[……I see…… Nebula-sama…… she's here, isn't she? Living in this world……]

[Yes. I'm having her be the guard dog of Kaito-san's home.]

[I see, a guard dog…… guard———————– Yes?]

However, the words Shallow Vernal spoke next filled ●●●●●'s head with confusion. Because she had just heard it a while ago, she knew of the name "Kaito" that Shallow Vernal mentioned, but she didn't understand what she meant by Nebula being a guard dog.

[Thinking it was necessary to have someone protect Kaito-san's house in his absence, I downgraded her power by a portion and turned her into a Spirit. Currently, as the Spirit of the World Tree at Kaito-san's home, she's serving as his guard dog.]

[……? ? ? ? ? ? ?]

She couldn't understand what she was saying at all. Rather, she can't keep up with the fact that Nebula had apparently been resurrected for such a reason.

To such ●●●●●, Shallow Vernal explained everything step by step. Of course, coupled with Shallow Vernal's airheadedness, there were some parts that still made no sense to her even after asking for details, but she was able to understand how Nebula is doing at the moment.

[……I- I see…… Ah, no, how should I say this…… Although I have incredibly mixed feelings about this, if Nebula-sama is satisfied, it's not my place to say anything……]

[So, what are you going to do? If you want to meet her, I will tell you the location…… but of course, I will have you sign a contract that you will not harm Kaito-san or anyone around him.]

Shallow Vernal's words made ●●●●● ponder. Of course, she did have the desire to go see Nebula right now. However, she also wondered how in the world she would behave when meeting with Nebula.

Rather, it's obvious that meeting Nebula, whom she'd longed to see, would make it difficult for her to control her emotions, so she wanted a little more time to prepare herself.

[……I will go see her. However, I would need some time for that…… I promise not to harm anyone in this world. So, could I please have permission to stay in this world for a while?]

[I don't mind, but on one condition.]

[A condition…… Yes, if it's anything I can do……]

[I would like to know about the lovey-dovey events that couples from different worlds do together. You have crossed many worlds, haven't you?]

[I see, lovey-dovey ev…… Hoehh? Hmm? Ahh, umm, I'd like to think I misheard you…… but did you say lovey-dovey event……?]

[I'd like to know about various lovey-dovey events from different worlds as references for when I go on dates with Kaito-san.]

[……A- Alright.]

Feeling as if she had recovered from a bit of confusion, only to be drowned again in a deep swamp of confusion, ●●●●● nodded.

With permission from Shallow Vernal, ●●●●● had obtained permission to stay in Trinia. Using her abilities, she had acquired some knowledge of this world and was now pondering in a town in the Human Realm where she had temporarily retired.

(I want to see her, I want to see Nebula-sama immediately…… but I really don't know what kind of attitude I should take…… I- If I just check how she looks now…… No, she'll definitely find out.)

Feeling in a state where she wanted to meet her but couldn't muster the courage, ●●●●● hesitated…… when her ears caught snippets of conversation from a group a little distance away.

[Anyhow, once the party starts, you're free to move around. Kaito will also be busy, so introducing you guys to him wouldn't be possible. It's fine if Kaito himself approaches you, but keep in mind that going to him is forbidden. If that's allowed, I don't know what young Ryze and young Chris would say……]

Hearing their conversation…… and that name, Kaito, ●●●●● raises her gaze and approaches that group…… a group made up of Laguna and the two merchants she's bringing with her. As an omnipotent being, if she were to use an ability akin to Recognition Inhibition Magic, Laguna and the others wouldn't notice her approach.

(Apologies, people I'm seeing for the first time…… I'm gonna have a small peek at your memories. So this is…… Miyama Kaito-sama…… A party hosted by him, who could be said to have triggered Nebula-sama's resurrection…… According to Shallow Vernal-sama, Nebula-sama can't move beyond a certain range from her World Tree, so it's unlikely that Nebula-sama will be at that party…… but Kaito-sama will be there.)

She wanted to catch a glimpse of him. That person who brought about change in Shallow Vernal, and in a roundabout way, became the catalyst for Nebula's resurrection…… It was just the right timing, as while ●●●●● was struggling to gather the courage to meet Nebula, she decided to meet with Kaito first. That being the case, she invoked her Recognition Inhibition authority…… and "followed behind Laguna".

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [Ahh, I see, she technically wasn't lying huh. Laguna herself may not know of it, but she really was accompanying Laguna……]

Makina : [Hmm. If this intermission stops here, does that mean she'll be reunited with Nebula after the party?]
