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

Walking towards the humongous World Tree, we arrived at the plaza in front of the castle, which was extremely crowded with people.

[……That’s a large crowd, isn’t it?]

[Yes, I guess the level of attention people have to this presentation is much higher when World King-sama herself is singing.]

Lilia-san nodded in agreement to the words I muttered. There were a good number of people who came to visit the Seven Princesses’ performances earlier, but this plaza was literally on a different scale.

The density of people, especially near the stage where Lillywood-san will be singing, is so great that it’s impossible to get close to the stage.

That is how rare of an opportunity hearing Lillywood-san sing is, so I guess many of the people who came to participate in the Harmonic Symphony were looking forward to it.

[……However, we may have come a little too late.]

[I suppose so. I guess we’d better give up trying to check if we could get closer.]

As Luna-san and Sieg-san said, we certainly may have arrived a little too late. The stage is hardly visible from our position.

Well, I guess they would use some kind of Loudspeaker Magic to sing, so I think we can hear her voice well enough from here, but there’s also a chance we may have blundered.

As I was thinking that, the space in front of me split open, and Gluttony-san…… Natasha-san called out.

[Please remain still for a moment. We’ll conduct a force teleportation from our side.]

Immediately after I heard that, the view suddenly changed and I found myself in a space that was secured by a wooden fence.

[Ahh, you’re here.]

[Kuro? This place is?]

In that space were Kuro, Raz-san, Funf-san and Gluttony-san, and welcoming us was Kuro waving at us with a bright smile on her face.

[I told her that I would be attending this year, so Lillywood had reserved a guest of honor seat for me. I thought it would be easier for us to watch her here rather than watching separately, so I invited Kaito-kun and the others here.]

[I see, this really helps. We can certainly watch the show unobstructed here.]

It seems that this space was prepared for Kuro, who is one of the Six Kings, with the stage right in front of her for easy viewing, and a wooden enclosure around but the front, so we can have an unobstructed view of Lillywood-san’s performance.

There are also wooden benches where we can sit and enjoy the show, which is great.

[Even so, this spot sure is pretty spacious…… It looks like there’s plenty of room even with our numbers.]

[Ahh, when I came to visit Lillywood earlier, I also told her that Kaito-kun was here, so I guess she widened the area to accommodate you? I think that even if we hadn’t called you here, I think her subordinates would have led you here if they saw Kaito-kun and the others.]

Anyway, since there were more people than I had imagined and were wondering what to do, this was really powerful.

[……Aoi-san, it’s a VIP. As expected of Kaito-senpai, he’s completely being treated as a VIP.]

[Still, since Kaito-san hasn’t told her that he’ll come visit her, I think they moderated it.]

[I wonder what would happen if he had told her?]

[There’s a chance that one of her subordinates whose specialty is teleportation magic would come and directly guide us here.]

Although I had heard this exchange several times, I was actually given special treatment in some areas, so honestly, if I had told her in advance, it’s possible that I really would have been guided to the event as Aoi-chan said.

Wryly smiling at their conversation, I sat down on the wooden bench and looked at the stage.

[Kaitokun-san, I’m looking forward to seeing Lillywood-sama sing~~]

[Yes, since it’s my first time at the Harmonic Symphony itself, I’m also really looking forward to it.]

[Lillywood-san is a very, veeeeeeeery good singer, you know?]

As I sat on the bench, Raz-san came flying towards me and sat on my shoulder with a bright smile on her face…… She’s very cute.

[Kaito, were you and the others able to successfully visit all of the Seven Princesses’ performances?]

[Yes, we’re able to watch all of their performances. It’s thanks to Gluttony-san, thank you very much.]

[I’m not worthy of your kind words.]

While answering Funf-san’s question, I thanked Gluttony-san for helping us with Teleportation Magic the whole day, to which she responded with a light bow.

In fact, putting aside her heavy loyalty, I think Gluttony-san is a pretty decent person. At least, I think it would be rude to compare her to Phenex-san or Tiamat-san.

[Ahh, it looks like it’s about to start.]

Hearing Kuro’s words, I looked at the stage and saw people with musical instruments who seemed to be World King’s subordinates, and it seemed like they’re preparing for the performance.

[Does that mean Lillywood-san would suddenly start singing?]

[No. The presentation would start with a chorus of relatively young members of the World King’s camp. The Harmonic Symphony is a very important event for the World King’s subordinates, so it’s like letting them experience the atmosphere once in a large group chorus.]

[I see……]

I guess it’s that so-called opening performance huh? Indeed, many people who seemed like they were Lillywood-san’s subordinates came out and lined up neatly.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [As expected, doesn’t it feel like he’d talk with Lillywood beforehand?]

? ? ? : [They’ll probably talk afterwards, and besides, there’s still the tea party after that.]
