I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1582 - Stomachache-Filled Founding Festival ⑩

Chapter 1582 - Stomachache-Filled Founding Festival ⑩

In any case, my eyes, which had been spinning after being shaken violently, recovered and Lilia-san regained her composure, so we decided to ask her about the situation again.
From what I heard, it seems that Lilia-san was observing the ceremony from the VIP seats just as was originally planned, but then Eden-san telepathically called out to her. It appears that Eden-san arranged for Lilia-san to come to my shop during the ceremony so that she wouldn’t have to sneak out for the party after the ceremony.
That is quite…… No, Eden-san probably thought she was being considerate, but just like Shiro-san, her common sense as a World Creator is skewed…… It’s just, as the person herself doesn’t have any ill intention for her actions, it’s difficult for one to complain to her about it.
[……That is quite, well, how should I say this…… It really isn’t my place to be telling you this, but Lilia-san sure got it rough.]
[Yes, I mean, things may be alright at the moment…… but I’m afraid of what will happen after I return to the venue.]
It’s obvious, but the ceremony’s venue is a place where many influential figures of the country gathered, so in order to prevent terrorism and other such threats, they have thoroughly set up various barriers, including Teleportation Inhibition Barriers, and magic tools.
Eden-san being able to easily bypass all of those measures and teleport only Lilia-san to a specific location was just to be expected of her, but it was inevitable that Lilia-san would attract attention upon her return, making her visibly uneasy about it, her stomach seemingly churning in pain.
[……It’s just, Lilia-san, I just have a simple question to ask. What’s the reason why you were teleported here? Well, you know…… Since the accessories that would likely be Eden-san’s purpose have already been handed over to her, there doesn’t seem to be any particular reason to buy anything else, right?]
[About that, well, I’m not entirely sure either. Eden-sama mentioned something about cheering for Kaito-san’s store, so perhaps that was her intention…… If her main purpose was for me to personally visit your stall, then it seems like the goal has already been achieved after coming here, right?]
I had already explained to Lilia-san in advance the products we would be selling at our stall, and putting aside Alice’s party goods, she is familiar with the ceramics and other items I make at my house, and would be able to easily obtain them if she consulted Nebula.
If that’s the case, she really may have simply come to just see me.
[……Speaking of which, how was the ceremony? There were so many people, so we didn’t bother going to the Central Plaza.]
[It’s really rough. Seriously! It’s really rough!!!]
[Eh? T- That much?]
[War King-sama suddenly came out of nowhere and caused quite a commotion.]
[…………………]
I think those few words explain everything. Megiddo-san said it would be alright, but issues really happened huh…… Rather, even though she only intended to meet the others, she went and broke in during the ceremony huh……
[Ahh, speaking of which, War King-sama brought with them Akane-san, whom we met at Maid Olympia before, and another person who also seemed to be an otherworlder, and those two were also unexpectedly scheduled to participate in the ceremony.]
[Akane-san, and the other person would probably be Kaori-san…… Eh? Those two too?]
Seriously, what’s going on? First of all, I have no idea why Megiddo-san brought Akane-san and Kaori-san with her.
Although they had met each other at our stall, they should have separated afterward…… Did they meet again by chance after that?
[……How should I say this…… Things are really chaotic there. Lilia-san, would you like to stay here until the ceremony is over?]
[……That’s a very appealing proposal. Even though I can’t avoid the barrage of questions during the party later, it’s reassuring to know that I won’t worry about drawing strange attention during the ceremony…… However, I also need a good reason……]
[Is telling them I held you back from going back work?]
[It would definitely work.]
If the reason is that I held her back, I don’t think there would be any complaints even if Lilia-san returned late. I’m sure Chris-san and others would probably understand as well, and as for me, I’m told that I’m quite well-known among the nobility, and considering Lilia-san is my lover, I think me asking for my lover’s time to chat with her since she came to visit would somehow work as a reason.
[In that case, please take a rest here for a while. We can temporarily store the ceremony chair in our magic box, so it won’t be visible from the outside within the stall, and since there aren’t many customers……]
[……I guess you’re right. Thank you. Certainly, I’d like some time to calm down a bit, or rather, to prepare myself for the party later on, so I’ll take you up for your word.]
Does Lilia-san not want to return to the ceremony, where she will undoubtedly be the center of attention? After agreeing to my suggestion and storing the chair, she entered the back of the stall, in the same area with me and Amel-san.
The stall was elaborately designed to be relatively large, mostly based on Amel-san’s request, so even with the three of us, there is plenty of space. There are also areas that are not easily visible from the outside.
[…… my sworn friend, Duchess Lilia, I have a question…… How does Duchess Lilia return for the celebrations?]
[……Now that you mentioned it, that is a good question. Lilia-san, what will you do when you return?]
[……I wonder?]
Lilia-san tilted her head in response to Amel-san’s reasonable question, her expression filled with uncertainty.

Serious-senpai : [I see, Kaito really had no clue about the ceremony-related ruckus, so it’s no wonder why he’ll react like that…… The temperature difference between his place and stomachache side is terrible.]
