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

Chapter 398 - It's that So-Called Unlucky Day?

The sight of Bacchus-san holding his great axe without any hint of hesitation made me think of a warrior who had fought in many battles. However, this isn’t the time to care about that.

[Listen here, Eden-san. Be gentle, okay? Gentle. Be as gentle as you would pluck a flower……]

[Acknowledged.]

……Does she really understand what I’m saying? I’m really worried about that.

However, Bacchus-san was so motivated that he wouldn’t listen to me even if I stopped him…… I just hope that Eden-san will take it easy on him……

In front of me, half in resignation, I offered my prayer for his sake, Bacchus-san took a strong step forward. The impact cracked the ground, and Bacchus-san’s magic power raged like a storm.

[Shall we begin, powerful being whose name I don’t know of! One of War King’s Five Generals, Ironblood Bacchus! Ready for———] Follow current s on No(v)elFire.net

With his vigorous speech, Bacchus-san powerfully kicked off the ground, and his figure immediately disappeared…… and before I knew it, “his upper body was stuck like a dart in the wall behind him”……

[Ba…… Bacchus-saaaaaaannnn!?]

Before I could even perceive it, he was already defeated!? Even though I already told him…… that Eden-san isn’t someone he should fight. She seriously isn’t someone he should fight……

Moreover, this is already her holding herself back…… She’s seriously the incarnation of a cheat.

I didn’t know if he’s already unconscious or not, but as Bacchus-san was stuck against the wall, a helplessly awkward silence fell around the arena.

……It was an unpleasant incident.

After that, I asked Eden-san to heal Bacchus-san’s wound. Well, it seems that Eden-san took it easy on him, so the damage he received wasn’t that serious……

After he regained his consciousness, I received a stamp from Bacchus-san and went outside the arena to wait for Lilia-san and the others.

[……E- Eden-san. Thank you, and I’m sorry. Eden-san is too strong, so I won’t be asking you to be my proxy for the next battles…… Also, please speak normally.]

[……I see, my child wants to do his best on his own. Seeing my child’s growth makes Mother very happy. However, I’m worried. It would be a disaster if my child’s body is harmed by the trash of this world. Yes, my child’s body is the treasure of the world…… Mother can’t help but be worried. However, yes, it’s also a mother’s duty to watch over her child’s growth. I’m very worried, but for the sake of my child, I’ll be patient. Ahh, but still, if things continue as they are now…… That’s right. Let’s increase my child’s physical abilities by a “thousandfold”. Let’s also increase your magic power, so that you can wipe out the trash of this world. Yes, that’s a good idea! My child is the supreme being, and no worthless trash should ever surpass my child in any aspect. Yes, that’s right! Frustrating it may be, I’m forbidden from cleaning up the trash of this world because of a promise I made to the God of this world. However, if it’s making my child stronger, there should be no problem. Yes, let’s do that. With my help, my child will rise to greater heights…… Ahh, how wonderful. That’s right, I should also……]

[Stop! Eden-san, stoooooooopppp!!!]

She really is scary! Why the heck are you casually speaking about turning me to a superhuman!?

[I- I’m fine the way I am now! Modifying my body like that is……]

[Ahh, you’re right. My beloved child is already supreme at this point, aren’t you? My apologies. Mother is being foolish. Yes, it is as you say! My child is a sacred being that can’t be tainted by anyone. Even if I’m your mother, it is unforgivable of me to change my child’s body without permission. Thinking about it, there was no way I could have improved my child, when he was already the “ultimate miracle”…… I just can’t do that. Yes, that’s right! My beloved child is most superb and wonderful in his natural state. Ahh, but don’t worry. Even if my child doesn’t possess the strength to fight, Mother will always be here to protect you. Ye, that’s right, Mother will protect my child better than anyone else……]

[I’m begging you here! Can you just step on the brakes for a second!?]

I hurriedly called out to Eden-san, whose eyes started to take the shape of murky hearts. I really felt like something terrifying would happen if I didn’t stop her while she was like this.

[A- Anyway, I’m already fine now so…… Eden-san, you can go back to your sightseeing……]

[I understand. I’ll do that. Where are you headed next, my child?]

[Errr, my next stop is…… the nearby arena.]

I’ve already learned my lesson. If I said here that I would wait for Lilia-san and the others before moving on, she would definitely say something like “Making my child wait, how disrespectful.” or something like that.

So, let’s just tell her where I’m going next and let her go sightseeing as soon as possible.

I said that, thinking that it was a great Eden-san countermeasure but…… it seems like that was quite naive of me.

[I see. Well then, “Mother will send you off”.]

[……Huh?]

[Now, I bid you well. Do your best over there. Mother is looking forward to your success.]

[Eh? Wait!? Wha——-]

As Eden-san gave me her most beautiful smile, my body was enveloped in light and the scenery instantly changed.

……I see, so that’s what she’s going to do…… She teleported me huh…… What should I do? I won’t be able to meet up with Lilia-san and the others like this.

As I was unceremoniously teleported to a position quite far from where I was before, I thought for a moment.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to move without a thought. I’ll just explain the situation here with a hummingbird and meet up with Lilia-san and the others over there.

After gathering my thoughts, I quickly sent a hummingbird to Lilia-san.

Now then, all I have to do is wait…… I’ll never know what will happen when I enter the arena, so let’s just wait in this place.

[Ohh, you’ve arrived huh! I’ve been waiting for you!!!]

[…………………..]

Why the heck are all things going against my expectations today? Why is there a 3-meter tall gorilla with a horn approaching me……

No, what I’m saying isn’t a metaphor, the being approaching me is seriously a gorilla. It has black hair, big arms, and even the way it walks is just like a gorilla. The only difference it had with a regular gorilla was the one big horn on its head.

N- No, wait, calm down…… It would be rude to think of someone as a gorilla just because they look exactly like one. It’s just that they resemble a gorilla……

[I’m one of War King’s Five Generals. The Gallant “Kong”! I’m glad you’re here, youngster from another world!!!]

Even your name screams gorilla!?

[……Ah, errr, I’m Miyama Kaito. Nice to meet you.]

[Ohh! The fact that you’re here means that you’ve already defeated Bacchus. Even though you have a seedy body that’s as thin as a branch, you’re really great, aren’t you!?]

[Ah, no, the one who defeated Bacchus is……]

[The next one you’re challenging is me huh! Alright, let’s get started! Just so you know, I’m not as naive as Bacchus!!!]

[N- No, I’m still waiting for someone……]

[Now, follow me! This way!!!]

This gorilla wasn’t listening to me at all! I can’t even establish a proper conversation with him, you know!?

The gorilla…… or rather, Kong-san carried me on his shoulders. and I was forcibly taken to the arena.

As we entered the arena, Kong-san sat me down, beat his chest with both of his hands and spoke…… That’s definitely drumming…… There’s no mistaking it, this guy’s a gorilla.

[Alright! Let’s get started! Don’t worry, I know you’re weak, so I’ll give you a handicap! If you want to send a proxy, that’s fine too!!! Come on, get yourself ready!!!]

[………………….]

No, that’s why I’ve been waiting for the proxy who might be able to represent me…… You’re the one who forced me into this situation, you know……

H- However, what should I do? I can’t just call Eden-san now. She may be really kind to me, but she’s really unforgiving to the inhabitants of this world. I mean, she’s even calling them trash. She may have taken it easy against Bacchus-san, but I don’t know if she’ll do it again.

So, I would like to ask for another proxy but…… w- what should I do? S- Someone, can anyone help me out here!?

[……Rude and uncivilized. This is why I hate War King’s subordinates. Did you really think that a gorilla with no intelligence or dignity could talk rudely to Miyama-sama?]

[……P- Pandora-san?]

[Miyama-sama, please leave it to me. As Miyama-sama’s “proxy”, I will make sure that this rude person will be dealt with.]

[Eh? N- No, but Pandora-san is……]

[Don’t worry. Thanks to Shalltear-sama’s consideration, I also have the badge that shows I’m “Miyama-sama’s companion”.]

……Ooooiii, Alice? Why the heck are you increasing my companions without my knowledge? Also, it’s just a hunch, but I think Pandora-san is a very dangerous person, you know?

[Ahh, don’t worry. I will not simply make those who have been rude to Miyama-sama faint. I will “make them regret being born”, and then, educate them so that they will never speak rudely to Miyama-sama again.]

[…………………..]

[I’ll make sure he’ll scream so hard that he won’t have the strength to scream anymore.]

……Just after Eden-san, why did such a dangerous person appear…… Even though I’m not Lilia-san, I think my stomach is starting to hurt.

Dear Mom, Dad————- Just when I thought I’d managed to persuade the dangerous Eden-san, someone else came to help me, but she’s on a different vector of dangerousness compared to Eden-san…… Seriously, what the heck is going on today? Could it be that today————- It’s that so-called unlucky day?
