I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1145 - Harmonic Symphony Part 2

Chapter 1145 - Harmonic Symphony Part 2 ⑤

After getting food for takeout from the restaurant, we walked to a nearby plaza where we could eat and drink. We had leisure sheets in our magic box which we sometimes used for picnics, and being adventurers, Aoi-chan and Hina-chan were carrying their own leisure sheets as well, so we laid out the sheets and had lunch in a little picnic-like atmosphere.

In fact, with Yggfresis being rich in nature, the plaza feels like a nature park, so it really feels like we’re having a picnic when we eat like this.

The restaurant we went to this time was mainly selling sandwiches and other such items with various ingredients stuffed in between bread, and everyone bought what they wanted.

I bought a hearty sandwich that looked like a clubhouse sandwich, and a kebab-like dish that I got curious about.

[Hnnn~~ It’s so tranquil. If you look up, it’s all branches and leaves, but it’s still very bright.]

[They probably did some kind of workmans.h.i.+p for that to happen? If you normally think about it, the World Tree is so big that the whole city could be under its shadows.]

As I exchanged words with Hina-chan, who had squinted her eyes from how comfortable it is here, I lightly stretched out my body. The pleasant breeze and the music I can faintly hear are very nice.

[……Speaking of which, Kaito-senpai.]

[Unnn?]

[Have you met Brother again? It’s just, before I returned to this world, I was told “Don’t bother Kaito too much”. I haven’t thought much about it back then, but thinking about it again…… When we first returned to that world, Brother called Kaito-senpai “Miyama” when we talked about you, but before I knew it, he started referring to you as “Kaito”……]

[Ahh, I met Akira on my way back from university when I was completing the voluntary withdrawal procedures, and we talked for a while.]

Hearing Hina-chan’s words, I was reminded of the time I went back to my former world to process the procedures before migrating to this world, and when I came to visit the university.

The procedures at the university went without a hitch. It wasn’t particularly time-consuming, since all I had to do was apply to withdraw from the university for personal reasons.

Well, it still took me some time because I had to visit the university several times to prepare the necessary doc.u.ments after my initial withdrawal application.

About a month before I was summoned to another world, I quit my part-time job because the store I was working at was closed for six months for renovation work, so I didn’t have to go through any particular procedures over there.

I also wasn’t looking for a job yet at that time, so the only other thing I needed to handle was the cancellation of contract for the apartment in which I lived alone. We have already finished talking that the lease will be formally terminated at the end of the month, but we still need to fill out some paperwork as well.

I also need to tidy things up so that I can vacate my room, but just as I was wondering what I should do first when I get home……

As I was walking down the street, I saw a man standing a few distance ahead of me.

[……Oh, long time no see, Miyama. Haven’t seen you since…… was it senior high?]

[……President?]

[I’m not the president of your cla.s.s anymore.]

The serious-looking man with short, slightly orangish hair and gla.s.ses, used to be the president of my cla.s.s back in senior high…… and through a strange coincidence, he was in the same cla.s.s as mine for three years.

He is one of the few people whose name and face I can clearly remember from my lethargic and lonely high school life, and he’s also the older brother of Hina-chan, who was summoned to the other world like me…… Yuzuki Akira.

[Just as I was heading towards the university, I happened to see you here. I’ve heard a lot about you from my little sister, and I was waiting to talk to you for a while.]

[…… I don’t really mind, but I don’t really want to chat while standing around here, so why don’t we talk in the park over there?]

[Yeah.]

Hearing his words, I immediately understood. Cla.s.s President is Hina-chan’s older brother…… According to Hina-chan, he is strict, but I guess he still cares and worries about his little sister.

I thought he wanted to hear about various things from me, who was summoned to another world together with her.

Walking with President to the park, we somehow ended up in front of a vending machine, and as he took out a coin purse, President asked.

[Miyama, you want something to drink? I’m having you come along with me, so this will be my treat.]

[Then, I’ll have a canned coffee……]

[Alright.]

Hearing my words, President bought a can of black coffee and a can of low-sugar coffee from the vending machine and held them both out to me. When I accepted the low-sugar coffee, President opened the black coffee and taking a sip…… he quietly muttered.

[……It was quite a preposterous story.]

[Well, people usually wouldn’t believe it even when they heard it.]

Chuckling at President’s words, I too opened the canned coffee and took a sip.

[If it was just Hina saying it, I would have laughed it off, thinking she was speaking nonsense…… but when I actually saw all those things, I had no choice but to believe her.]

[I’m a little confused, how was it explained to you?]

[A person named Amaterasu-san came to me…… Ahh, no, she was apparently not the same G.o.d from the j.a.panese mythology, but rather, a subordinate of the G.o.d of this world. She said that because this was an extremely peculiar case, she explained the situation to the families involved, including me, and she even exhibited magic…… It was quite surprising. I honestly thought for a while that the magic she showed was actually just magic tricks.]

[Ahaha, well, that’s a normal reaction.]

Thinking of what the situation was like when that happened, I couldn’t help but chuckle, but the President seemed a little surprised for some reason.

[……Unnn?]

[No…… You can also make such a face and smile huh, is what I was thinking. We should have been in the same cla.s.s for 3 years…… but this was the first time I’ve seen it.]

[Well, how should I say this…… I had been quite irresponsible back in senior high and troubled President quite a bit.]

[You were seriously just sleeping cla.s.ses back then, weren’t you? I don’t even know how in the heck you managed to graduate without repeating grades.]

[A- Ahaha……]

Since what he’s saying is true, I can’t refute his words at all. The actual fact is that I’ve weathered through every test almost always by having an overnight cramming.

[……To be honest, I had given up on you along the way. As the Cla.s.s President, I was obligated to keep giving you warnings, but thinking about it again…… Perhaps, I didn’t really face you seriously.]

[Unnn?]

[No, I just thought that if I hadn’t given up on you and faced you back in senior high…… Things might have been different now.]

[……I guess so. If I had the presence of mind to listen to others, something might have changed.]

It’s too late to talk about this now. Talking about what it’s like if we had done this or that…… even if we had such a conversation, it wouldn’t mean anything.

However, there is no negative vibe between me and President. We were just talking about what-ifs as if we were reminiscing about the old days.

But even so…… I feel like we got along a little better than when we were in senior high, and I’m sure that isn’t just my imagination.

Serious-senpai : [Come to think of it, wasn’t this mentioned in one of the afterwords that he met him when he went back to their original world? Even so, how should I say this…… This should be one of this novel’s few rare conversation scenes of two same gendered and same generation characters.]
