I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

A beautiful flower field bathed in sunlight. Vibrant flowers bloom in abundance, and the pleasant fragrance wafting through the air gently tickles the senses, bringing peace to the heart.

With the shimmering sunlight, music akin to a divine hymn resonates through the flower field, as if inviting those who hear it to ascend to the heavens.

Olivia had never visited the Sanctuary. However, she wondered if the Sanctuary she had only heard about might be as magnificent as this. Truly, it seemed like the beautiful realm where the world's God resides, a blessed place. This vision reflected in Olivia’s eyes, sparkling brightly.

Olivia was certain———– the happiness filling her heart, it was faith found in devotion.

……In about one second, Olivia’s thoughts had wandered to another world. However, given the situation of having Kaito before her, she couldn’t afford to remain dazed forever. With determination and willpower, Olivia brought her thoughts back.

(——-Hah!? T- The overwhelming happiness made my consciousness drift away. T- This is far too dangerous! Just the act of offering food to Miyama Kaito-sama and having him accept it fills my heart with the joy of serving him. Moreover, feeling Miyama Kaito-sama’s warmth, even just through my fingertips, is so overwhelming———– so dangerous that if this continues, my mind might truly melt away!)

Olivia’s faith was, to put it plainly, maxed out———— no, it had broken through the ceiling and continued to rise limitlessly. Her unwavering devotion to Shallow Vernal and Kaito, which she constantly praised in her heart, left no room to doubt her faith.

For Olivia, the act of doing something for Kaito and having him accept it brought an indescribably immense sense of happiness.

[……Olivia-san? Are you okay?]

[Y- Yes, my deepest apologies. What I just did was something I had set as a goal beforehand, so now that I’ve completed it, I feel a sense of accomplishment.]

She wasn’t lying. She had indeed set this as a goal in advance, researched cuisine, and conducted thorough image training. There was a sense of accomplishment from executing her plan. It was simply that the happiness far exceeded what she had expected.

(But I’m truly relieved. Thanks to suppressing my distractions again and again while refining my mental image beforehand, I managed to get through this without making a fool of myself. While this doesn’t mark the completion of the date’s objectives, I should consider this one of its pivotal moments. As expected, thorough preparation is key to success.)

As Olivia was calming herself with such thoughts, Kaito picked up a canapé from his plate. Just as Olivia had done earlier, he extended it toward her, holding it gently with one hand.

[Then, since we're at it, let me return the favor. Here you go.]

For Kaito, this was a completely natural course of action. He had perfectly anticipated that the earnest Olivia, in her research about dates, might mistakenly believe that couples feeding each other food was a requirement and would go so far as to carry it out. Thus, his action was a supportive gesture to ensure the completion of her perceived goal.

However, there was one miscalculation———– Olivia herself had already declared the task "complete", meaning that her objective was, in her mind, already accomplished……

(……Eh? T- This is…… not part…… of the plan.)

Yes, while Olivia meticulously envisioned scenarios where she could devote herself to Kaito or do something for him…… the very idea of "Kaito doing something for her" was nearly absent from her thoughts.

After all, Kaito was the object of Olivia’s faith, someone to whom she dedicated her devotion entirely. She firmly believed that giving her all in service to him was her role.

(W- Why? H- Have I achieved some monumental feat? Not only am I receiving food meant for Miyama Kaito-sama, but I’m being directly fed by him? I- I can’t recall performing any deeds worthy of such a great reward…… C- Could this be a reward for organizing today’s date? But if that’s the case, isn’t the reward far too generous!? N- No, but with Miyama Kaito-sama already offering the food, I can’t afford to hesitate…… I can’t keep him waiting…… Ah, errr…… s- should I eat it?)

From Olivia’s perspective, it was an extraordinary reward that had seemingly appeared from an entirely unexpected direction. She nervously darted her gaze between the canapé and Kaito several times. Yet, seeing Kaito patiently holding out the food, she realized she couldn’t make him wait any longer. With great tension, she finally opened her mouth and accepted the offering. Ｒ

[Was it too much food at once?]

[N- Not at all. The taste is…… entirely different from when I ate it myself earlier. I can only marvel at how Miyama Kaito-sama’s touch elevates even food to a higher plane. Even the act of offering the food is so divine that I feel it deserves a sculpture in the Cathedral……]

[Ahaha, that’s quite an exaggeration, but I’m glad you enjoyed it.]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As Olivia descended into a state of overwhelmed praise, a mode she often shifted into when flustered, Kaito couldn’t help but smile wryly, finding the situation endearing.

(Ah…… He’s so radiant…… Is this…… happiness?)

Having just been fed and with their bodies now so close, Olivia couldn’t help but be captivated by Kaito’s gentle smile. Needless to say, for a few seconds, her mind once again drifted to another world.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Guh, t- that's quite the impact. Even though she herself doesn't recognize it as romantic feelings, Olivia is completely smitten with Kaito. From her perspective, you can feel how her overflowing affection is practically radiating.]
