I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN) C.2001: Canalis ⑱

At the same time as in the Hydra Kingdom, Canalis was also meeting with the respective rulers in Symphonia Kingdom and Archlesia Empire.

In the audience chamber of Symphonia Kingdom's royal castle, King Ryze was meeting with Canalis. On either side of him were the Knight Commander, Rachel, and the Head Maid, Beatrice.

They had tried various ways to gather information up until today, but no details about Canalis emerged, and even now, upon meeting in person, Ryze didn’t recognize her. The greetings went smoothly, and Ryze whispered to Rachel and Beatrice.

[……What do you think?]

[I- I don’t know. This person has a unique aura, and I can't tell whether she's strong or weak just by her presence.]

[I agree with Commander Rachel. She has an unusual presence, and it's hard to grasp anything definite.]

Even without prior information, the fact that Kaito trusted this person with a brand indicated she was someone significant, so Ryze had asked these two who held power on the level of Peerage holders affiliated with Symphonia Kingdom to assess Canalis…… but both Rachel and Beatrice responded with troubled expressions, saying they couldn’t tell.

Just as Ryze was pondering what to do, having learned nothing, Canalis opened her mouth.

[Your Majesty, may I have permission to speak?]

[Yeah, what is it?]

[Perhaps Your Majesty is troubled by the fact that someone like me, who appeared out of nowhere, was entrusted with a brand by Kaito-sama?]

[That’s correct. I know it’s rude to try to dig into someone who’s come all this way to greet me, but the lack of information has made me uneasy…… If I’ve offended you, I apologize.]

[Oh no, please don’t worry. It’s only natural to feel cautious when you can’t find any information, especially when running a country. Tahaa~~ I’m sorry for being so mysterious! As for why there’s no information about me…… I've just recently arrived in this world from a different world, so no matter how much you search, you won’t find anything.]

Hearing Canalis' words, Ryze instinctively placed a hand on his stomach. Though she said it so casually, the fact that she was from another world, despite this not being the year for a Hero Summoning, was already unprecedented. And with Kaito involved in this matter, he couldn't shake a bad feeling lurking behind his mind.

[As for my previous status, I was once the World Creator of my former world, but now I'm just a regular person…… No, counting me as a regular person may not be quite right, but at least I'm not someone of authority. Hmmm, errr…… You could say I'm an Omnipotent former God with the status of a commoner. Tahaa~~ Sorry for being so confusing!]

[……………………..]

Ryze gazed up at the ceiling of the audience chamber with distant eyes. Thinking that this must be how his beloved younger sister feels all the time, he endured a dull ache in his stomach…… He briefly drifted off into thoughts of the unseen blue sky, trying to escape the reality of having to deal with an Omnipotent former God.

And so, the fact that such a thing was happening in the Symphonia Kingdom meant that a similar situation was occurring in the Archlesia Empire.

Just like Ryze, Chris had tried everything but was unable to gather any information. When Canalis revealed her true identity, Chris held her head in her hands.

[……I- I see…… So, in other words, Canalis-sama is an Otherworld God. Your status may be a little different, but you have a position similar to Eden-sama……]

[I suppose so. My position certainly is close to hers. Well, in my case, even though I'm a former God, I’d say I’m more like a traveler who’s settled down in Kaito-sama’s home. So, if it helps, you can treat me like an ordinary person.]

[……That's impossible. That said, I do feel a bit relieved. If someone with a status similar to Eden-sama’s is involved, then no one will dare to meddle with Nifty’s store.]

Among Archlesia Empire's nobility, those with strong aristocratic views were deeply afraid of Eden. Even if they had no direct involvement, it was easy to imagine that they would also fear Canalis, another Otherworld God with a similar status to Eden.

Thinking that this would serve as a deterrent against anyone strangely trying to exert pressure or act recklessly, Chris considered this a plus…… Well, it doesn't change the fact that her stomach is churning with pain……

[However, to meet yet another Otherworld God, Miyama-sama's network of acquaintances truly knows no bounds…… Errr, is there a chance that more people in a position like Canalis-sama’s might show up in the future?]

[I'm not sure? I was a traveler, so I was free to move around, but other World Creators have their own worlds to manage, so it would be hard for them to take on a position like mine. Ahh, but Kaito-sama has a lot of fans, so there are many Gods who would want to meet him. Whether Her Majesty the Emperor will have the opportunity to meet them is unclear, but it’s possible that Kaito-sama’s circle of friends will continue to expand.]

[……I see…… I understand very well now how Duchess Lilia feels.]

It may have been quite unfortunate for them, but at that moment, the rulers of the three countries all sympathized with Lilia's struggles…… united by the ironic bond of shared stomachaches……

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Just the usual stomachache…… N-Now, next up is the story of the stores' opening and their successes, right? Right?]

? ? ? : [Next chapter, the story returns to Kaito-san's side.]

Serious-senpai : [……I have a really bad feeling about this.]
