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

Entering a street in the Western District of the city, Aria-san and I walked along the street while chatting. Although her gestures were elegant, it seemed like Aria-san often came to hang out in the city like this, as she was quite knowledgeable not only about the central cities, but also about towns in the countryside.

[Heehhh…… So such a cuisine exists huh.]

[Yes, it’s an ethnic cuisine that isn’t eaten anywhere other than in some towns in the western part of Symphonia Kingdom. It tastes good, but it takes time to cook, so it isn’t suitable for selling in places where there are many customers.]

[I see, indeed, if someone wants to sell their product in a place where there are a lot of customers, the turnover rate is also important. It would be different for high-end stores, but when it comes to ethnic cuisines, they wouldn’t have such vibes…… There are appropriate ways to sell fitting for each product, I guess.]

[As you say, just as how the right people for the right job, so to speak. The same goes for things like tea; it’s most important to brew them in a way that suits the place and the person.]

The fact that she uses tea as an example shows her upbringing, but her cheerful and calm demeanor makes her easy to talk to.

As we came closer to the target store while I had such a thought in mind, a slightly strong wind blew. It wasn’t too strong, a wind that just passed through the gaps between nearby large buildings, one that didn’t affect walking…… but due to the wind, Aria-san’s bangs were slightly lifted, revealing one of her eyes. They were beautiful ruby-like red eyes…… The amount of information that can be obtained differs greatly between when one’s face is half-hidden and when one eye is visible.

Arehh? This person…… Isn’t she Alexandra-san? No, the atmosphere around her changed significantly since her hairstyle is quite different, and besides, the only time I met Alexandra-san was at the Maid Olympia where I was forcibly made to be a special judge for the semi-finals, and since we’ve only had a brief conversation, I can’t be sure.

Rather…… Her voice really feels different…… Alexandra-san’s voice back then was somewhat cool and dignified, but Aria-san’s voice, seemingly relieved from something, is more gentle and elegant.

Is there some kind of magic that changes just the voice? No, could she actually be just a different person with a similar face? Guess that would be most likely…… Like for example, they’re sisters? I’m not sure, but whether she’s Alexandra-san or someone else who just looks like Alexandra-san, it still seems a little uncouth to go in and ask about it now that she’s hiding her identity, so I’m not going to mind it too much.

[Kaito-sama, is something the matter?]

[Ahh, no, I’m sorry. I was just thinking about something…… That aside, that would be it, right?]

[Yes. It’s already within visible range…… Fortunately, it seems to be empty, probably because it’s off lunchtime.]

The desired store really had the atmosphere of a casual fast-food place for the masses. The interior wasn’t particularly spacious and felt somewhat cluttered, but that added to its charm of being a place that sells junk food, creating a tasty-ish atmosphere unlike that from high-end stores, which was wonderful.

In fact, I haven’t had many opportunities to visit restaurants like this with a casual atmosphere because people around me, just like Lilia-san, tend to be part of high society, so I’m looking forward to it.

[The atmosphere this place has is great. While not necessarily refined, it’s not without its charm. It’s a good place to hang out where necessary items are placed where they need to be, and the scent floating around it builds anticipation.]

[That’s right. It wafts the delicious scent of fried food. Fried chicken, perhaps.]

Just like before, her eyes were hidden, but she looked so happy that I felt like her eyes were shining. Her voice sounded a little excited, and I could tell that she liked this kind of restaurant.

Just like that, we entered the restaurant and were to place our order at the counter first. It was like a hamburger store.

[I’ll order fries, nuggets, and a cola, what about you, Kaito-sama?]

[……Eh? They have cola here!?]

[Yes, I heard it was passed down from a past Hero Actor. I don’t really know if it’s completely the same as the original in the other world but……]

[I see, then I’ll have the same thing as Aria-san.]

[I understand. In that case, let’s just increase the size of the fries and nuggets and eat them together.]

I never thought there’d actually be colas in this world…… Come to think of it, handmade colas like craft colas do exist, and if someone knows the ingredients and how to make them, making one might not be as difficult as it seems.

That said, this place really is nice. Looking closely, they also have burgers here…… I’m not that hungry right now, so I don’t feel like eating a burger, but I think I’ll come back next time to have one.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Magic that changes voice…… Even if that exists, that seemed like something Kaito would nullify, so is it someone else then?]

? ? ? : [No, for example, if it’s not magic, but a characteristic such as “being part of a species that can change their voice”, it will not be disabled, and in the first place, compared to the beginning, the Magic Nullification effect of Shallow Vernal-sama’s Blessing had been improved through repeated detailed updates. For example, someone who had cast Humanization Magic on themself would no longer have it nullified when touched by Kaito-san.]

Serious-senpai : [I see…… It’s more like as long as there’s no harm to Kaito now huh……]
