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

Chapter 1591 - End of Stomachache Festival ⑦

Alongside the fireworks that marked the end of the festival comes the conclusion of the party at Archlesia Empire’s Imperial Castle.

Although there were some troubles, such as War King Megiddo’s sudden intrusion, and Lilia being teleported, the party had progressed rather steadily since then and had come to an end without incident.

As they had expected, Lilia was bombarded with questions from various nobles, but despite looking fatigued, she had grown accustomed to sudden attention like this ever since she received Chronois’s temporary blessing. Fortunately or unfortunately, she was able to handle the situation without any problems.

Emperor Chris was also relieved that she had somehow managed to get through the Founding Festival without incident, and a smile of relief was on her lips.

However, in the midst of such an atmosphere, Fate’s expression, which had remained relaxed up to this point, changed drastically. Fate, who had been nonchalant even when the War King appeared and when Lilia disappeared, now clearly looked flustered.

[……G- God of Time and Space! T- This is bad……]

[O- Oi, what’s with you, God of Fa——— This is!? C- Could it be……]

[There’s no mistaking it. Shallow Vernal-sama had…… W- Why?]

Chronois, who looked puzzled seeing the flustered Fate, and Life, who was sleeping with her eyes closed, both realized the reason why Fate was flustered one beat later.

Yes, it was because they had detected the arrival of their absolute master, Shallow Vernal.

[What’s the meaning of this, God of Time and Space!? Shallow Vernal-sama is currently……]

[Y- Yeah, she definitely stated that she won’t be attending the Founding Festival. How come Shallow Vernal-sama acted contrary to her own statement……]

[……It’s over.]

[ [ Eh? ] ] Googlᴇ search ɴovelꜰɪre.ɴet

Hearing Life questioning her with a flustered expression on her face, Chronois gave her response with an equally bewildered look. The degree of flusteredness from the Supreme Gods was evident to those around, causing the Six Kings and Chris to involuntarily hold their breath at the sudden turn of events.

At that moment, Fate seemed to have realized something and muttered with a pale expression on her face.

[After the fireworks, the Founding Festival ends.]

[Wha!? So that’s how it is…… This is bad, if Shallow Vernal-sama comes here, it will cause a commotion unlike that time with the War King……]

[In any case, I will go to the scene! I will use my authority to keep the surrounding people away and prevent anyone from getting close to that area.]

[I’ll leave that to you, God of Fate! I will immediately contact the God Realm and send reinforcements…… God of Time and Space! I entrust this place to you!]

[Y- Yeah, I know.]

The actions of the Supreme Gods were swift. Fate immediately informed others that she was heading to the scene and disappeared using teleportation, while Life returned to the God Realm once to summon subordinate High -ranking and Low-ranking Gods.

[……G- Goddess of Time-sama……]

[Sorry, Emperor Archlesia. This is an emergency. For now, wait inside the venue and do not go outside. If news spreads that Shallow Vernal-sama is here, it could cause tremendous chaos.]

[U- Understood. I will ensure that those currently in the castle are strictly instructed not to leave the castle and do not make contact with the outside.]

Shallow Vernal is a goddess revered throughout the world. There are an incredible number of believers who wish to catch a glimpse or offer prayers to her. This situation is completely different from when the Supreme Gods and the Six Kings are present. Even during the Festival of Heroes, there are only limited opportunities to see Shallow Vernal, as she appears for only a brief moment on the final day. It wouldn’t be surprising if everyone currently in the Imperial Capital moved en masse towards the area where Shallow Vernal is said to be, aiming for the Kaito’s stall.

If that happens, it would be inevitable for panic to ensue. That’s precisely why Fate acted immediately and moved to seal off the area. If they can contain the spread of information there, they can at least prevent the situation from escalating into a commotion…… If there were already witnesses who saw Shallow Vernal appear and they managed to inform others before Fate’s arrival though, it would be troublesome.

In any case, there is a need for an urgent response. Soon after receiving Life’s request, powerful High-ranking Gods specializing in Information Concealment, such as the God of Thoughts, gathered to start handling the situation.

For the time being, the biggest concern of a large commotion occurring has been averted…… but the problem lies in what Shallow Vernal will do next.

It’s the most obvious thing in the world, but Shallow Vernal is an absolute being for the Gods, and if she were to express a desire to visit and see the surrounding stalls, there would be no way they’ll stop her. Rather, in the first place, there are few beings like Kuromueina and Kaito who can restrain Shallow Vernal’s actions.

[……Chronois-sama, what do you think would happen after this?]

[Since the Underworld King is not present, the only one who could possibly voice their opinion to Shallow Vernal-sama is Miyama. We can only hope that Miyama can somehow persuade Shallow Vernal-sama to go back as soon as possible.]

In response to Lilia’s question, Chronois could only reply such with an indescribable expression on her face. Faced with a scenario where even the Supreme God Chronois could only hope that Kaito would somehow do something about it, Lilia and Chris, who were listening nearby, held both of their stomachs.

Serious-senpai : [As expected of the Last Boss. Her Stomachache Power is on a different level……]
