I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1226 - Encounter with a Compatriot ⑦

Chapter 1226 - Encounter with a Compatriot ⑦

The conversation with Akane-san shifted to the people who were in the same world as us.
[Hohh, so there was an emigrant in Friendship City huh. I don’t get to visit Friendship City very often, so I didn’t know that.]
[That’s Mizuhara Kaori-san. Also, according to Kaori-san, there’s also a man named Okura Shigenobu in the Hydra Kingdom.]
[Fumu fumu, I unexpectedly never met him. I mean, the first person I’ve met from the same world is Kaito.]
There’s also Neun-san, but I’ll leave her name out because I don’t think I should talk too casually about her true identity.
And so, if we exclude Neun-san, there are a total of nine people from Earth in this world: me, Mom, Dad, Aoi-chan, Hina-chan, Mitsunaga-kun, Kaori-san, Akane-san and Okura-san.
[If we have a chance, it would be fun if we of the same world could get together……]
[Right. At that time, I’ll make us takoyaki, so let’s have a takoparty!]
[……Isn’t that just something Chairman wants to do?]
Of all the things she could have asked, it seems that Akane-san asked Eden-san for a takoyaki plate. I like takoyaki quite a bit myself though, so it sounds like it would be fun.
[Speaking of which, Kaito.]
[Yes?]
[There are a lot of rumors going about you, you know? I’ve also known about you through rumors.]
[Eh? Is that so…… Indeed, I do sometimes hear strange rumors circulating.]
This is true. In fact, even back at the Six Kings Festival, I heard rumors as if I’m some sort of monster, and there are also the novels being produced in Rigforeshia, which are probably the best example of this.
Since most of the people I know were famous people, I know this couldn’t be helped, but I couldn’t help but feel very embarrassed when even people from the same world were hearing the same things.
[Well, the story of you being Kuromu-sama’s lover is already amazing in itself, but I guess it’s inevitable in a sense that there would be all sorts of groundless rumors going around…… For example, that you’re lovers with the Death King.]
[Ahh, that’s true.]
[……Eh? I- Is that so? In the first place, is it even possible to talk with the Death King-sama?]
[I’m able to use a magic called Sympathy Magic, so I was able to talk to her thanks to that.]
[I see~~ How surprising, I never thought that was actually true.]
Despite her expression of heartfelt surprise, Akane-san seemed to be convinced for the time being and repeatedly nodded.
[There’s also that rumor about how you received the blessing of God of Creation-sama.]
[That’s also true.]
[How the heck did that even happen!? What in the world happened for that thing to happen!? Errr, there are also other rumors…… like how you won against the War King-sama.]
[I did win twice against him.]
[……The heck are you, some sort of monster?]
[No, it’s not like I won against him in battle.]
I won against him in a drinking contest and a three-way contest. Also, I feel like I would have lost in that three-way contest if it weren’t for that strange win in the art contest…… I heard that it has already become some sort of mythical idol for the Gun Rock Dragons, so I just decided to force myself to accept that I won by making a statue of an awesome Gun Rock Dragon.
[……What about that rumor about how you’re acquainted with the Six Kings and the Supreme Gods?]
[That is also true.]
[How did you even meet them all? I even heard how you were the Hero of the Elves……]
[There are many misconceptions about that, but it’s true that they call me Hero.]
[……You’re just kidding, right……]
Every time she heard my response, Akane-san’s complexion became worse, and as if she was trying to endure a headache, she put a hand to her forehead and started massaging her temples.
[Eh? All of that was true? Ahh, this is bad, I feel like my head’s going crazy. To be honest, I thought I was one of the more successful emigrants. Even though our company might not be a big one, I’m still the Chairman of a mid-level trading company, and I have more money than an average noble…… but you’re on a totally different level…… Or rather, Kaito, how many years have you been in this world?]
[If you include the year of the Festival of Heroes, less than 2 years, I guess?]
[Then, how!? Ahh, you must be one of those, right!? Those people who apparently repeated a week of their life several times!!!? Ahh, my head hurts, this is seriously too out of the ordinary…… The more I think about it, the worse this feels. I get sick to my stomach just listening to you, or rather, I feel like my stomach is already starting to hurt.]
If she puts it that way, I won’t be able to refute her. In fact, it’s true that too much has happened in a short period of time. I mean, according to Alice, I have the tendency to attract trouble, or rather, the tendency to get caught up in a lot of trouble.
Well, in the first place, I was summoned to this world because I was caught up in the summoning……
[Ahh~~ out! Out with all that! I shouldn’t think too much about that kind of stuff. Let’s change the subject…… Speaking of which, I’ve been the one asking lots of questions, but don’t you have anything you wanna ask me?]
[Fumu…… I heard that Akane-san’s trading company is a mobile trading company, but what kind of things do you deal in?]
[I deal with various things, but most of them are what’s in the trend. It’s especially difficult to handle items that are prone to price fluctuations, but if we do well, we can make a profit…… For example, recently……]
As befits to being called a mobile trading company, Akane-san’s trading company really seems to be doing business here and there, as she told me interesting stories about rate items and various regions. As I listened to Akane-san’s stories, I lost track of time before I knew it.

Serious-senpai : [I guess those words meant this is the closure of the arc huh? This ends the meeting with Akane……]
? ? ? : [Seems like the author wanted something sweet.]
Serious-senpai : [Oi, idiot, stop that!!!]
