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

Chapter 887 - In the Demon Realm's City ①

After the conversation with Funf-san was over, Sieg-san and I headed to the city for sightseeing as we planned.

It was no surprise, but the atmosphere around the city was very different from the royal capital of Symphonia Kingdom.

The Symphonia Kingdom was more like a medieval fantasy town straight out of my imagination, but this city seemed a bit more modern.

First of all, the roads are well-maintained, and although I don’t know what they’re made of, I get the impression that they’re like the asphalt roads I’ve often seen in Japan.

I also get the impression that the size of the buildings varies quite a bit, but I think this is due to the fact that the people who live there vary greatly in body size compared to other people.

[……Amazing. It looks like a more advanced and functional cityscape than even the Hydra Kingdom.]

[Indeed, the whole place seems to be smartly organized. I think it’s because it’s an economic city with a lot of top trading companies.]

[I also think that’s one of the reasons. It’s possible that it’s because there are so many of them here that it’s easy to gather the most advanced technologies.]

It seemed that Sieg-san had also never been to the Demon Realm much before, as she was moving her gaze with interest.

[Sieg-san, you haven’t been to the Demon Realm much?]

[That’s right. Putting aside if it’s within the Human Realm, if one wants to go to the Demon Realm, they will need a certain amount of money to travel, and it simply takes days. Teleportation from Human Realm to the Demon Realm is quite expensive, and people usually go through a gate to get there.]

[Teleportation Magic Tools certainly are also expensive.]

[Yes. When it comes to those magic tools that can be used to teleport from Human Realm to the Demon Realm, it’s something that is very hard for ordinary people to acquire…… is what I’d like to say, but it’s perplexing how it seems to be within my reach now.]

Saying this, Sieg-san wryly smiled. The reason for this was her pet, the Rainbow Dragon, Sela. Alice apparently likes to use Sela’s Rainbow Diamonds as a material and often buys it from Sieg-san.

Setting aside whether the things I heard were the truth or not, like her having no money because she’s a King who had the greatest amount of employees to pay, it seems that a lot of money came into Sieg-san as Alice was able to buy them at a very high price.

[……It’s the first time I’ve ever had too much money and not enough ways to spend it. I’m living in Lili’s house and I don’t have any hobbies that require spending money.]

[What about buying a Teleportation Magic Tool?]

[Indeed, considering that I will often be visiting Funf-sama’s place in the future…… That might be a good idea.]

[Then, since we’re in the city that is home to the world’s largest magic tool trading company, why don’t we take a look?]

[Fufu, I guess you’re right. Let’s go.]

After smiling at my suggestion, Sieg-san held my hand with a happy expression on her face. It’s probably not my imagination that she looked a little excited.

In any case, I’ve also been looking forward to going on a date with Sieg-san, so I guess I’m also very excited……

I had visited this place before to buy the magic crystal for the music boxes, but as expected of the headquarters of a large trading company, it was a very large building that could be seen even from a distance.

As we happily chatted, we reached the front of the store directly managed by the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company, adjacent to their headquarters…… and saw two girls at the entrance with flustered expressions on their faces

.

[Found her?]

[No…… Ahh, geez! She slipped away again!]

[Why is it that even though Esteemed Sister can’t fight, she’s so good at secretly moving away…… She even slipped through my Detection Magic, and I can’t find her at all.]

[She shouldn’t have gotten very far though, so let’s hurry and find her.]

The two of them really looked like each other, making me wonder if they’re twins, but one had reddish-purple hair tied in a right side-tail, while the other had bluish-purple hair tied in a left side-tail. Their clothes were very distinctive, resembling kimonos, and they each carried a large katana at their waist.

From what I heard, they seemed to be looking for someone, and when they suddenly noticed us, they flusteredly rushed over to us.

[Excuse me, have you seen a tall woman with a purple ponytail?]

[No, I didn’t see her.]

[Neither have I.]

[I see…… I’m sorry for the abrupt question.]

I wasn’t really paying that much attention to the people we pass by, but I don’t remember seeing a tall woman. It seems like Sieg-san also didn’t see anyone fitting their description.

As her shoulders slightly slumped at our words, the woman with the reddish-purple hair lowered her head, while the woman with bluish-purple hair was looking at us, looking as if she was thinking about something.

[……For the time being, I think we should look in the opposite direction of where they came from…… What’s the matter, Cien?]

[……I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before…… Errr, where was it again?] ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Noᴠelꜰire

[Rather than thinking about that, we still need to find Esteemed Sister Tre!]

[You’re right…… Sorry, Cento. Let’s hurry.]

When the woman with bluish-purple hair, named Cien, looked like she was trying to remember something when she saw me, was approached by the woman with reddish-purple hair, named Cento, after a brief pause, they bowed to us and left.

[……I wonder if they lost sight of someone they knew?]

[Perhaps…… Even so, those two are incredibly powerful.]

[Eh? Is that so?]

[Yes, I think they’re probably around high Count-rank…… However, I don’t think I’ve heard of their names. If they’re that strong, I don’t think it’s strange if they’re famous but…… Well, there’s a chance that they’re famous in the Demon Realm and I just don’t know about them……]

While tilting my head at the strange encounter, I regained my composure and we walked into the store.
