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

It took a little time for Olivia-san to regain her composure, but compared to the confusion from earlier, it was at a level where there was no problem at all, and the conversation about the play's impressions resumed quickly.

As expected, Kaori-san took the lead in the conversation, and it was easy for me to follow along with the topics she brought up.

[That confession scene was amazing too! "Please sing only for me……" That’s definitely the kind of confession you'd expect in a love story involving Spirits, something related to singing. It’s a classic, but that’s what gives it stability and makes it so great……]

[……A confession involving singing when it comes to Spirits? That’s the first time I’ve heard of such a thing. I’ve heard that Spirits give a golden fruit created with their own magic power when they marry but…… no, Godism handles marriage ceremonies, and I’m not involved in matters of courtship, so I may just not be familiar with it.]

[Eh? Really? Well, I don’t know any Spirit personally, and it’s just knowledge from books…… but in love stories involving Spirits, confessions involving singing seem to be a staple. It’s common for someone to sing a love song to express their feelings, or conversely, to ask a Spirit to sing for them. There are a lot of stories like that.]

This was quite timely———- just a little while ago, I heard a similar topic from Jutia-san. It seems that Kaori-san’s knowledge comes mostly from romance novels and plays. On the other hand, Olivia-san seems to have read up on various things for the date, but she probably thought that romance stories involving Spirits didn’t really apply to the kind of date they were having.

In fact, I’m sure Olivia-san studied romance stories about humans as reference materials, so it’s not surprising that she doesn’t know the typical themes in romance stories about Spirits.

[I actually just learned about this recently myself…… In reality, as Olivia-san said, there aren’t really any confessions involving singing from Spirits. In fact, it seems that love stories involving Spirits are pretty rare in general. But since singing is something special for them, it seems like confessions involving singing became a staple in creative works related to them.]

[Hehh~~ Really? Well, I can see how it would look great in a story, but if someone were to say "sing for me~~" in real life, it would seem kind of strange, right?]

[As expected of Miyama Kaito-sama, you're well-versed in such matters. Under the light of wisdom, my own understanding has expanded.]

Kaori-san spoke with admiration, and Olivia-san spoke with emotion…… It felt like their reactions were a clear reflection of their personalities.

We stepped out of the café and began walking through the streets again. Although we had been talking for quite a while, it was still far from evening, so I wonder where we would go next?

[Where are we going next?]

[We’ve already had lunch and gone to a café, so I thought food might be fine for now. From here on, we’re planning to focus more on sightseeing. We discussed a few options for places, and in the end, Olivia-sama should have made the final decision……]

[Yes. I did consider a few options, but since we seem to have some time, I’ve decided we’ll head toward the canal-themed tourist area to the southwest of the city. There, we can take a boat and view the buildings lined along the waterways, which focus on the scenery.]

That sounds really nice. The idea of viewing the city with its many red brick buildings while drifting along the waterway on a boat gives off a really pleasant vibe just from imagining it.

As Kaori-san said, we had been relatively active so far with shopping in the morning, followed by a play and a café in the afternoon. So, it seemed like a great idea to relax and enjoy the scenery while gently swaying on a boat.

[That sounds fun. By the way, back when I went out with Olivia-san before, we rode a boat together, didn’t we?]

[Yes. I apologize for the trouble I caused you back then, Miyama Kaito-sama…… This time, I’ve learned from that experience and made sure to book a boat with autopilot.]

[I see. Thank you for thinking of that.]

[Y- Yesh…… I- I’m not worthy of such kind words……]

[Olivia-san?]

[It’s nothing! J- Just having some worldly thoughts……]

For some reason, Olivia-san seemed a bit flustered, but since she said it wasn’t a problem, I didn’t press the matter.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But what was it? It felt like, just for a moment, the grip of Olivia-san’s hand holding mine had become a bit stronger.

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [Ohhh, what's going on here? Sweetness Meister Serious-senpai, explanations, please!]

Serious-senpai : [Well, this is a situation where, until just a little while ago, Olivia was really flustered, but now that she’s calmed down, she’s suddenly more aware of Kaito and is getting nervous about an unexpected smile. In the first place, Olivia’s gratitude toward Kaito has grown so much that she’s become even more of a mess when it comes to romantic feelings for him. This reaction is inevitable…… It’s just that up until now, due to the confusion of the situation, it hasn’t been showing up much…… But since the upcoming events will give us a bit of time before heading to a nice view in the evening, she’s probably a bit more relaxed now…… Wait, who the heck is the Sweetness Meister!?]
