I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)

The lovey-dovey soft-serve ice cream was quite mentally damaging and even though it was just the start of our date, I think I’m already feeling tired.

[Well then, let’s move on to the stalls that aren’t serving food or beverages. We’ve just had breakfast after all.]

[I see, then since I’m the one who chose this time, I’ll leave deciding what we’ll do next time to Kaito-san. Please escort me.]

[Alright. Then, for the time being, there seem to be a lot of food and beverage stalls in this area, so let’s go to a different one.]

I had a good breakfast in the Sanctuary and also ate soft-serve ice cream, so my stomach felt pretty full. And so, I decided to look for an attraction stall for our next destination.

It seems like target shooting and the like are also a staple in this world, but this is a different world…… But target shooting is more associated with that superthingy, so for the time being, let’s decide to look for something that looks good along the way.

But well, being stalls, their size must be limited……

[……That’s quite the grand tent. Is that some kind of shop too?]

[Fumu, Kaito-san, there’s a sign over there.]

[Ahh, you’re right. Let’s see……]

After walking a bit, we arrived at a large plaza with quite a few unique-looking shops, and among them, what really caught our attention was a tent that resembled a circus in terms of its size.

“Super Dimensional Sniping Action – Target Shooting”

……Whoa there, here comes that incomprehensible thing I heard about at the Six Kings Festival. I didn’t expect I’d see it here…… Rather, is it a competition being played in this large tent!?

[Fumu, target shooting huh. It’s that competition created by Kuro, wasn’t it?]

[……Eh? This was an idea thought up by Kuro?]

[Yes, not only this, but RINGTOSS, goldfish scooping, and candy cutting were all invented and popularized by Kuro.]

[………………]

I never expected that it was Kuro who created all those games, including RINGTOSS, having the same name but are completely different from the games that they are in our world…… It seems the culprit has been surprisingly close by.

Come to think of it, Kuro seemed to have some misunderstandings here and there about our world’s culture, and now that Shiro-san mentioned it, Kuro being the one who invented those makes sense.

[Arehh? But how did Kuro acquire knowledge about them though? Did she hear about it from a previous Hero Actor…… no, but it feels like it’s quite far from the original in some aspects……]

I did remember hearing that RINGTOSS and the others are referencing the games of the same name in our world, so her basis of information must be our world’s festival stalls.

[I had informed her about them.]

[……I see.]

[However, I just couldn’t understand why she only made such strange arrangements.]

And the other culprit is much, much, much closer than I thought. Yeah, I somehow got the gist of what happened. Maybe when they talk about the other world during their usual tea time, Shiro-san explained various things, but Shiro-san tends to provide incomplete explanations or leave out many details, only focusing on crucial points.

So, I think the information was conveyed to Kuro in a fragmented, or even in a peculiar way, so Kuro arranged it in a way that made it work as a competition, which is why it ended up quite different from the original.

[……I heard that it was a pretty dangerous game, I wonder if it’s a good idea to exhibit such an event at the Founding Festival….. Unnn? It says “Adjusted Version”.]

[There’s a guide here too. It seems like they modified it to be enjoyed as an attraction rather than a competition, so there’s no need to worry about injuries. Well, even if it was the competition one, Kaito-san wouldn’t really have to worry about being injured. Don’t you think it’s quite fortunate you have such a reliable lover nearby, Kaito-san? You think so, right? I don’t mind if you speak out your thoughts, hearing it makes me happy.]

[I- I’m fortunate to have such a reliable lover.]

I just followed her completely straightforward request that’s trying to disguise itself as something roundabout. Well, in fact, Shiro-san and all my other lovers are really reliable, and I genuinely feel grateful since they have always been helping me.

Well, putting that aside, it seems that this target shooting isn’t that one that requires magic bullets or aerial combat, but is adjusted to be enjoyed as an attraction.

[In that case, I’m curious how it was like, so shall we go in?]

[Let’s go…… Wanna have a match?]

[There’s no chance for me to win, so let’s just have some normal fun.]

Regardless of what that Super Dimension Sniping Action – Target Shooting might be, I don’t feel like I stand a chance against Shiro-san in any physical competition.

No, of course, if I just tell her something, she will go easy on me…… but with what happened back when we played beach volleyball…… It’s safe not to compete.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [I never expected that following RINGTOSS, another one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Otherworld Outrageous Competitions, Target Practice, makes its appearance here.]
