I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1303 - Founding Festival

Chapter 1303 - Founding Festival ⑤

Amel-san appeared with a somber atmosphere around her…… I’ll just say this now so that we aren’t misunderstanding things here, but I did tell her that I was going to open a stall.

In that exchange I had with her through hummingbird, she responded with “Alright. I’m looking forward to it.”…… But why does she look like a puppy drenched in the rain?

[……My sworn friend. I’m well aware of the greatness of your existence. I also think that you are a true warrior who holds the courage to face challenges alone. However, I believe that sometimes, such courage can end up hurting others. Being unable to help my sworn friend as he challenged the abyssal banquet…… Waiting for the letter asking for reinforcements…… Having the illusions of the abyssal banquet within my mind’s eye, refining my mind in the battle against such illusion……]

In short, it seemed that Amel-san was hurt. And the reason for that…… seems to be that she wanted us to open a stall together.

From what I heard, it seemed like she was having image training while waiting for me to invite her, but in the end, as the appointed day arrived without my invitation arriving, she came here downhearted.

[E- Errr…… When I contacted Amel-san, the members of our stall had already been decided, and the scale of our stall isn’t that big so……]

[……I also…… wanted to open a stall with my sworn friend.]

She looked like she was about to cry. It seemed like she really wanted to do it together with me. W- What should I do? I could certainly say let’s do it together now…… but is a pity-like invitation really alright?

Though I say that, it’s not like I can just leave her like that…… Alright!

[T- Then, let’s do it together next time, Amel-san!]

[……Eh?]

[You see, there are still other festivals out there, so the next opportunity we have, how about we open a stall together, Amel-san?]

[……Really? You’ll do it together with me?]

[Of course! I also think opening a stall together with Amel-san will be fun…… so let’s think about what kind of stall we’ll do next time.]

[My sworn friend!]

Amel-san’s face lit up when she heard my words. The expression she had earlier, looking as if the world had ended, drastically changed, and she was now filled with joy.

I think Amel-san hasn’t had much experience hanging out with friends, so I guess she’s longing to open a stall with friends. I understood that feeling, so I would like to help.

However, since all the preparations for this event have already been completed and the size of the stall makes it difficult to add another person, I would have to ask her to be patient and wait for the next opportunity we have.

[I’ll hold you to that, okay!? It’s a promise!!!]

[Yes, it’s a promise.]

[Opening a stall with my sworn friend, I’m looking forward to it…… I wonder what stall we could———- Wha!? Erhem…… Umu, a new contract is hereby made. With this contract, I shall disregard this matter. I will bask in this abyssal banquet not as a presenter, but as a spectator. Anyhow, I would like to partake in the bags of forbidden eclipse.]

[Yeees…… One bag each for regular and chocolate-filled, yes?]

It seemed like Amel-san completely cheered up, as she purchased baby castellas with a smile.

Thereupon, Tre-san, who had been watching the exchange between me and Amel-san, nodded her head for some reason and spoke.

[I see…… The bond between you two is quite definite.]

[Mhmm, have you seen through our bond? Was it perhaps that you read it between my words?]

[……No, I don’t know! However, that’s what I felt from how the atmosphere between you two feels!]

It wasn’t that she could clearly understand Amel-san’s way of speaking, but it was just something she guessed from the atmosphere around us huh? The way she said that so confidently sounded like it was actually pretty clear to her though.

[In other words, you two are like that, right? The two of you are bound by the bond of love!!!]

[Love!?]

I take back what I said before. As she just declared now, she really didn’t understand at all. She’s really just going along with her hunch.

[M- M- M- Me and m- m- m- m- my sworn friend don’t have such a relations.h.i.+p, as the bond we pledged is a sacred one that transcends time……]

[Transcends time?]

[Y- Yes, a pact made in our previous life……]

[You mean you were married to Kaito in your previous life?]

[Noooooo! L- Like I said, me and my sworn friend aren’t like that…… Ahhh…… I- I sense disturbance in the air! I shall be excusing myself!!! M- My sworn friend, I will see you later!!!]

In response to Tre-san’s words that were completely off the mark, the reasonably innocent Amel-san turned her blus.h.i.+ng face away and left, seemingly trying to escape from the embarra.s.sment.

U- Unnn, how should I say this…… Well, I have lots of things I wanna say…… but won’t a normal customer come anytime soon?

Serious-senpai : [……Stop right there, Tre…… Seriously, stop…… Don’t raise flags with those strange a.s.sists……]
