I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1852: Ship Party Invitations ⑤

Chapter 1852: Ship Party Invitations ⑤


I thought I had reserved a chapter for yesterday, but it seems I got the date wrong…… Oh well, since it can’t be helped, I’ll just shift all the scheduled posts by one day.
The invitations sent by Kaito naturally made waves everywhere they reached. The same goes for Ryze, the King of Symphonia Kingdom, as he muttered, looking at the invitation in his hand.
[……I wonder if the location would be over Demon Realm’s seas? Or perhaps, would it be in a sea somewhere among the Human Realm’s three countries? If it’s Miyama-kun, I believe he’d get permission even if it’s on the seas near Friendship City……]
[It would certainly be no problem for him, but since Friendship City is also a famous tourist spot and prominent figures gather there, having the party there could be a bit concerning. And so, perhaps it’s over the Demon Realm’s seas?]
As Ryze wondered if the ship party would be held at a sea in the Demon Realm, his wife and Head Maid, Beatrice, prepared tea and spoke her thoughts.
Since Beatrice also received an invitation due to being acquainted with Kaito, they were discussing the schedule of their plans together.
[I see, although the Demon Realm’s seas fall under Eingana-sama’s sphere of influence, Miyama-kun should have no trouble getting permission from her…… It’s just, I’m worried since this is probably the first time Miyama-kun is hosting a party, I hope everything goes well smoothly for him…… Even if his social circle is impressive, he’s still young and inexperienced, so I’m worried he might unnecessarily burden himself with stress.]
[He’ll be fine. There are many reliable people around Miyama Kaito-sama, like Illness-sama and Master. In fact, many are willing to help rather than let him struggle alone……]
[Fufu, I see…… Even if Miyama-kun tries to shoulder everything by himself, those around him won’t allow it huh…… He has such good relationships with others that it almost makes me envious. Well, in that case, I suppose we don’t need to worry about Miyama-kun and just focus on our own concerns.]
[Indeed so. Your Majesty, you aren’t just going to enjoy a party here. That’s especially since nowadays, inadvertently benefiting from Miyama Kaito-sama’s influence, our Symphonia Kingdom has made significant progress. We have to be careful not to create unnecessary openings.]
As Beatrice calmly conveyed her words, Ryze smiled wryly and put the invitation in the drawer of his office desk…… one imbued with special magic which made it so only he could open it.
[……Well, you can really feel the difference when you’re in that kind of place with King Laguna and Emperor Chris. Good gracious, there are times I wish I had as much ability as them. Oops, you aren’t gonna scold me for that, right?]
[If that were a statement spoken out of timidity, I would have scolded you…… but that doesn’t seem to be the case, isn’t it?]
[Yeah, it’s a fact that I’m inferior to both rulers in terms of kingly abilities. However, it isn’t like a nation’s strength is determined by the ruler’s abilities alone. If a King’s abilities equated to the nation’s power, then Hydra Kingdom would have long been at the top of the Human Realm. Of course, having great abilities would be desirable, but if there are areas where I lack, I can rely on those around me. Even if King Ryze himself is lacking, it’s fine as long as Symphonia Kingdom itself excels. That’s how I see it.]
[Being able to acknowledge one’s shortcomings compared to others like that…… is undoubtedly one of your strong points.]
While Beatrice sometimes scolds Ryze harshly, making people perceive her as having a stern personality, she doesn’t get angry without any reason. In fact, upon hearing Ryze’s current words, she wore a gentle smile.
[Well, in my case, I’ve always had the greatest genius in human history quite close to me. I do have some pride in how I handle feelings of inferiority better than most people.]
[……Even so, when you first became King, you had quite a few issues to deal with.]
[A- Ahaha…… There were indeed such days. Back then, you scolded me almost every day without fail.]
[I wasn’t scolding you just for the sake of scolding though……]
[Good gracious, I could only feel ashamed.]
Ryze smiled wryly, to which Beatrice returned the same expression. There was a gentle atmosphere between the two of them, a sense of ease from being familiar with each other.
[……As a King, you’re doing well enough, but you should have a bit more confidence. You’re the one I’ve recognized as my husband, so stand tall with confidence.]
[Yeah, I’ll do my best.]
Upon hearing Beatrice’s words, Ryze nodded firmly with a determined expression on his face. Seeing this, Beatrice smiled, reassured that there was nothing for her to worry about.
With some spare time on their hands, they enjoyed a pleasant conversation alone as husband and wife for a short while.

Serious-senpai : [Come to think of it, these two were husband and wife……]
? ? ? : [Beatrice-san served as Ryze-san’s assistant when he just became King, so it seems their relationship has deepened from there. Well, it seems like Ryze-san was quite rigorously taught back then, but I guess that’s how much she had expected of him.]
