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

The unexpected appearance of Founder Olivia had completely overturned her assumptions, but perhaps as to be expected from her, Eris had already regained her composure.

In the first place, Kaito and the others had only stopped by her store during their date and didn’t intend to stay long. Naturally, once their shopping was finished, they would leave.

Having already looked around the store to a certain extent and entered the purchasing phase, the likelihood of anything else happening was low.

(Thinking ahead, this situation has caused me a great deal of stress, but from the perspective of adding prestige to the store, it can be considered beneficial———— provided we disregard the effort required to handle it. That said, there are many points I should reflect on this time. The unique political structure of Friendship City Hikari makes gathering information from over there difficult…… but even so, if we had connections in that direction, we might have been able to obtain useful intelligence. This will have to be a future task.)

Despite this unusual situation, Eris resolved to strengthen her information network in the direction of the Friendship City, as similar incidents could not be ruled out in future interactions with Kaito.

Though this would have to wait until tomorrow or later, Eris was certain that numerous letters from nobles who heard of the Founder’s visit would arrive, ensuring they would be busy for a while…… Nonetheless, for now, she felt relieved…… but it seems she let her guard down.

Unaware of how careless it was to do so in front of the World's Singularity, Kaito…… Indeed, Kaito was nearing the end of his shopping, and neither Kaori nor Olivia were likely to take further action. However, with anything involving Kaito, unforeseen developments could arise from unexpected angles.

[Welcome——– Hyiihh!?]

Hearing the reflexive shriek of one of the clerks, Eris turned her gaze to the store entrance…… There stood a figure draped in a jet-black robe, carrying a massive coffin taller than themselves. The sight made even Eris herself nearly shriek.

The visitor who suddenly entered was none other than Rasal…… a renowned necromancer in the Demon Realm, known as Martyr of Death and comparable to the Dark Forest's Monster.

Though Rasal’s name was famous, few had seen her actual appearance. Eris identified her based on the rumored features and her overwhelmingly powerful magical energy. However, the clerk who had shrieked seemed simply shocked by the figure’s intimidating appearance, unaware she was facing the Martyr of Death.

[I apologize for startling you. I came to shop. While I do not possess a membership card, I have a referral letter from a member. Please use this to create a new membership card for me.]

[C- Certainly. May I see the referral letter?]

Rasal’s behavior was unexpectedly courteous, and although the clerk was somewhat intimidated by her appearance, she handled the situation without issue.

At that moment, Rasal glanced around the store and spotted Kaito, who had turned to look at the source of the clerk’s shriek.

[Oya? If it isn’t Miyama Kaito-sama…… What a coincidence.]

[Rasal-san? Hello, I’m surprised to see you here. Are you here to buy chocolates?]

[Yes. Isis-sama seemed to have taken a liking to the chocolates you kindly shared with us the other day. She mentioned wanting to serve them to the others during our tea parties. However, such trivial matters are not something a King should handle directly, so I came to purchase them in her stead.]

[I see……]

Last month, Kaito visited Eris’ store and bought some chocolates before leaving. Later, while having tea with Isis, they had eaten the chocolates together, and Isis had taken a liking to them.

However, due to the complications caused by her magic power of death, it was difficult for Isis to buy them directly, so in her place, Rasal had volunteered to handle the purchase.

Rasal, having done their research, knew a membership card was required and had arranged for a referral letter upon hearing that one of Sechs’ subordinates held a membership card…… This chain of events led to her visit today, coinciding perfectly, and quite by chance, with Kaito’s visit.

[Miyama Kaito-sama, are you also here to purchase chocolates?]

[Errr, I came here with Olivia-san and Kaori-san to explore this city, so we stopped by since we had the chance. This store is owned by a friend of mine……] ȐÅɴóᛒËⱾ

[My, a friend of Miyama Kaito-sama’s…… In that case, I’d like to extend my greetings as well.]

[Ah, she's right over here.]

Listening to the exchange between Kaito and Rasal, predicting how things would unfold next was all too easy. Eris, already overwhelmed to the point of deferring any thought about how to handle the fallout from today’s events, now found herself with an additional complication: dealings with the Martyr of Death…… and by extension, a subordinate of the Death King. As she stared into the distance, she couldn't help but wonder if the intense pain had whisked her stomach away.

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [See that, because Serious-senpai said something about a three hit stomach blow earlier, Eris-san now had taken three hits……]

Serious-senpai : [N- No, I didn't mean that only she would take three hits to the stomach…… So this is the power of the New Gen Stomachache Warrior…… Her aside, Rasal sure is as competent as ever. She even researched the membership system in advance and prepared the referral letter. Her reason for going is also well-thought-out———— without mentioning anything about Isis being feared or her magic power of death, she had given a perfectly reasonable and considerate explanation for why she, as a subordinate, should go on the shopping trip, making sure not to hurt Isis' feelings.]
