I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace - Chapter 2192

It was indeed a shocking development, but even though the flow of time was different, I felt guilty about keeping everyone waiting, so I quickly washed my face and returned to my room to get ready.

There, I found Nebula.

[Milord, I have brought your change of clothes.]

[Eh? Nebula, you brought them for me?]

[Yes. Currently, nearly all the staff from both Milord’s home and Lilia-san’s mansion have gone to the venue for Milord’s birthday party, so they are absent. Since I cannot stray too far from the World Tree, I am unable to attend and have been entrusted with watching over things in their absence.]

[I see, but wouldn’t that mean you’ll be alone while everyone else is at the party……]

Nebula had a restriction preventing her from leaving a certain distance from the World Tree, meaning she couldn’t attend the birthday party in another world.

Since time flowed differently, it might only feel like an instant for her, but even so, I still felt bad about leaving her alone.

[Ah, no need to worry. While I will indeed be staying behind, an old acquaintance of mine is planning to visit, so I won’t be bored. Please, Milord, enjoy yourself without concern.]

[Oh, really? By an old acquaintance, do you mean someone like Canalis-san?]

[Yes. Their circumstances are similar, and they are also a World Creator who is close with Canalis-san. I will introduce her to Milord someday.]

At the very least, it seemed Nebula wouldn’t be lonely, which was a relief. I then proceeded to change into the clothes she had prepared for me…… but they were ones I had never seen before.

They felt a bit more formal than the ones I had worn for the Six Kings Festival but weren’t as rigid as the ceremonial outfit I had worn at Seigi-kun’s wedding.

[……Nebula, these clothes are?]

[They were tailored by those skilled in sewing at Lilia-san’s mansion, under the lead of Illness-sama.]

Hearing Nebula’s words, I could think of several people among Lilia-san’s maids who fit that description. Since I had stayed at Lilia-san’s mansion for quite some time, I was familiar with most of the maids and guards there. If Nebula’s words were true, then all of them had likely been invited and were already at the venue.

……And if I included those with whom I wasn’t particularly close but still exchanged greetings and small talk, like members of Kuro’s household, the number of attendees would be quite large.

Of course, having so many people celebrate my birthday was a wonderful thing…… but as I thought about the sheer scale this party’s gonna be, my anxiety only kept growing.

After finishing changing, I bid farewell to Nebula and, together with Alice, used the gate-shaped magic tool in the room to transport us. Come to think of it, this thing can even transport people to other worlds huh.

[And here we are.]

[……Wait, Alice…… isn’t this place way too big?]

[It’s big, yeah. As a world, it’s considered small, but apparently, it’s about the size of the Divine Realm……]

[Even if it’s small for a world, it’s way too huge for my birthday party venue!]

The first thing that caught my eye upon arrival was the crystal-clear blue sky, a majestic mountain range in the distance, and what looked like an enormous castle alongside a massive city…… If I didn’t already know the context, I would have thought this was just a normal world where people had built a civilization over time, but considering its purpose and the fact that this world was newly created……

[……Alice, what’s that city?]

[All sorts of things. Most of the party guests arrived the day before, so there are lodging facilities there and such……]

[And also…… it has a really unique atmosphere, doesn’t it? The roads leading toward the city feel structured, and while it has a medieval European vibe, there’s also a hint of modernity…… like a mix of both?]

[That’s what happens when you let a bunch of people do whatever they want.]

[And that ridiculously huge castle……]

[That’s the venue for your birthday party. Its name is Miyama Kaito Castle. By the way, please be prepared, there are a ton of statues of you all over the city……]

[……Is this world created for the sole purpose of publicly humiliating me……]

I was already completely overwhelmed with the urge to turn around and go home, you know!? Ah, I get it now…… this must be what Neun-san feels about Friendship City Hikari.

[……Alright, let’s get moving with this……]

[Wait, Alice…… what the heck is this giant vehicle…… It looks like something straight out of a theme park parade!?]

[Ahh, right, I forgot to mention———— since we’re heading to the castle through the city’s main road, it’s going to be in parade format. So, Kaito-san, you’ll be riding up there.]

[……My stomach hurts.]

Before me was an overly extravagant, glittering parade float, and apparently, I was supposed to ride this all the way to the city…… Someone, please spare me from this.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [W- Well, I mean, even royalty have parades for their birthdays so……]
