I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)
chapter-1352-30041322

After making various preparations, the day of the promised camping with Isis-san arrived. The location was in the Western Demon Realm, a place known as an unexplored region that would normally be difficult to reach due to the many monsters along the way and the topographical problems.

However, for Isis-san, who is one of the most powerful people in the Demon Realm, it was an easy place to reach with the use of Teleportation using World Coordinates.

And the place we arrived at was as good as we had imagined, or even better than I had imagined. It was an open area by a large lake, with no slope and a moderate amount of soil, making it a good place for camping.

[This place is nice.]

[……Unnn…… It’s peaceful…… and relaxing.]

[I’d like to start relaxing myself, but how about we at least put up the tent first?]

[……Unnn.]

For the time being, the first thing we should do is to decide on a location for our tent, so we decided to set it up at some distance from the lake, in an open area with a good view of the surroundings.

I heard that setting up a tent would originally be quite difficult, like setting up stakes and tying ropes…… But well, since this isn’t really that orthodox of a camping trip, but more like a trip with a camping feel to it, the tent is also a magic tool.

[……Installing it in an open place, I should then pour magic power into it…… Ahh, it came out.]

[……These magic crystals at the end of the strings…… should we install them…… on all four sides?]

[Yes. It seems that everything is done after that.]

Four strings stretched out in this cylindrical thing that kinda seemed to be the tent, and a magic crystal was attached to each of its ends. After pulling them to a distance where the strings can be stretched enough, you place them on the ground, pour magic power into it, and something like a stake will appear around the magic crystal and pierce the ground.

When I set it up in four directions with Isis-san, the center cylinder emitted light just when the fourth stake was set up, and after a few seconds, the tent that was deployed from the inside automatically set itself up.

[……It sets itself up in an instant.]

[……How convenient…… However…… this is my first time…… in a tent.]

[I’ve also never been in a tent before. The inside…… is bigger than I thought it would be.]

[……There are also these cot-like things…… I suppose Adventurers…… would be sleeping in those.]

Well, as for this tent, I bought a rather expensive one, so it’s probably more spacious inside than what the average Adventurer’s tent would be, but even so, this tent sure has set itself up quickly.

It also comes with a simple barrier system to protect against monsters, but since Isis-san is here, monsters will not come close to the tent, so we will not really feel the effect of the barrier.

[For the time being, that settles the installation of the tent. Well then, should we take another walk around the neighborhood?]

[……Unnn…… I want to walk…… here and there…… together with Kaito.]

Isis-san, who was shyly smiling when she said that, looked as cute as ever, and just looking at her makes me feel happy.

When I held out my hand, Isis-san happily grasped my hand and just like that, with our fingers crossed with each other, we started walking near the lake.

[It’s a pretty big lake, isn’t it?]

[……Speaking of which…… in the novel…… they went to swim in the lake.]

[As expected, we haven’t really made preparations for swimming, so we can’t exactly do that…… but with a lake of this size, other than that, it feels like we can do a lot of stuff. Ahh, come to think of it, I also brought fishing gear, so let’s do it together later.]

[……Unnn…… I’m looking forward to it.]

The clear blue sky, the lake glistening in the sunlight, my lovely lover next to me, holding hands and laughing together as we walk along.

This is truly a wonderful feeling. Perhaps, this may have been what happiness is all about.

[……Kaito…… How was your stall…… at the Founding Festival?]

[It was fun. I experienced a lot of things…… Speaking of which, Spica-san, who came on behalf of Isis-san, seemed like a calm person.]

[……Spica is…… a little laid back…… but she makes…… everyone around her feel at ease…… She’s a very nice girl.]

[I see, Isis-san’s castle has become quite lively.]

[……Unnn…… Everyday has been…… really fun…… That too…… is thanks to Kaito.]

Isis-san’s castle is now home for Iris-san, Polaris-san, Sirius-san, Rasal-san, Spica-san and Eul-san, and it has become much livelier than when Isis-san lives there on her own.

Isis-san seems to be really happy, and that makes me really happy too.

[That isn’t the case. I think it’s because of your own charm, Isis-san.]

[……You…… think so?]

[Yes, it’s true that I had recommended Iris-san to be your subordinate by Alice’s suggestion, but that’s definitely not the only thing you can factor for this happening. I myself had talked with everyone a little bit, but I soon realized that everyone admired Isis-san. That’s why, please be confident. Up until now, due to the influence of your magic power of death, few people have noticed it, but Isis-san has the charm that attracts people. I guarantee you that.]

[……Fufu……. Unnn…… Since Kaito guarantees it…… there’s no mistaking it then.]

After listening to my words, a happy smile appeared on Isis-san’s lips, and moving herself closer, she tightly held my arm to her embrace.

Her sweet reaction was so lively, and I naturally felt a sense of warmth in my heart.

Serious-senpai : [………………………………………………….]

? ? ? : [Senpai, please stay strong. That was still just a jab.]

Serious-senpai : [Are you trying to comfort me or plunge me in despair…… With the way you say it, I’m not really sure……]
