I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace - Chapter 230

Chapter 230: 230
The 5th Day of the Wind month…… It’s been 3 full days today, but my body is in good spirits thanks to the fruits of the World Tree, and the sleepiness I’m feeling is only from mental fatigue…… but I somehow managed to push through with fighting spirit .
The problem is that if I relax, I’ll most probably fall asleep but…… Unnn, it’s fine as long as I don’t get distracted . I just have to keep focusing and it’ll be fine! Unnn? I might have been a bit too high .
But well, I’ve been working on it like this…… but the world isn’t that sweet .
I was trying to get through these difficult times with fighting spirit and will-power, but here I was, sitting in a seiza on the floor of my room, that I’m familiar with, feeling more scared than ever before .
[……Kaito-kun . Do you know why I’m mad?]
[……I- I’m sorry . ]
[I’m not asking your forgiveness here, you know? I’m asking you if you know why I’m mad . ]
[Hyiiihhh……]
Currently in front of me is the Shura…… Kuro, who is angrier than ever before .
With her arms crossed in front of her chest, Kuro’s voice sounded calm as she admonished me but…… her eyes are completely staring at me . Frankly speaking, I’m outrageously scared .

The beginning of this event began when Kuro, who came to supervise me as I embed the technique again today, learned of my current situation .
I thought I was doing a good job of deceiving Kuro, but I couldn’t deceive her eyes, and when she questioned me about it, I confessed to her that I had been up all night…… and this is the result .
Yes, I was getting my just desserts but…… T- This situation is seriously frightening . Black mist is leaking out of Kuro’s body, and I could tell that she’s really angry .
[……T- That’s because I’ve been staying up all night……]
[Unnn . That’s right . You were up all night “for three days without telling me”, weren’t you?]
[……Y- Y- Y- Yes!]

I feel so terrified that I reflexively returned back to using honorifics, but Kuro only smiles at me, while looking at me with eyes that aren’t smiling at all…… I’m super scared .
[I told you, didn’t I? I properly told you…… not to push yourself, didn’t I?]
[Y- Yes . You said that……]
[And Kaito-kun said that you understand, right? You told me that you would properly sleep…… didn’t you?]

[……I said that . ]
[……Should I forcefully make you sleep here?]
[Hyiiihhh!?]
As my body shakes in fear, Kuro is silent for a while as she looks down at me, sweating like a waterfall .
Wrapped in nervousness that makes me feel like I’m being pricked by needles all over my body, I waited for Kuro’s words, just like a prisoner awaiting his death sentence…… before Kuro lets out a big sigh .
[……Hahh…… Geez, seriously, Kaito-kun is……]
[K- Kuro?]
[Didn’t I tell you that you would make it if you just keep going at this pace? And yet, why are you being this rash…… . ]
[T- That is……]
It isn’t the same voice that sent chills down my spine a moment ago, but she’s speaking in an amazed tone of voice .

It seems that her anger has subsided a bit, as when I timidly looked at her face…… Her eyes that were still completely staring at me, had somehow turned calmer .
[……The Fruit of the World Tree may restore your vitality, but it won’t make your mental fatigue disappear, you know?]

[……Yes . ]
[You’re going to properly explain this to me, wouldn’t you? The reason why you’re being this rash……]
[U- Unnn . ]
If possible, I wanted to give it to her as a surprise, but I couldn’t not say anything here .
In fact, I worried her so much that she got really angry with me, and although it’s been a while since I have last done it, I think my bad habit of not being able to see my surroundings when I concentrate came out .
I’ll reflect on that and use it as reference for the future, but first, let’s properly explain the situation to Kuro .


[……In fact, in addition to the gift I wanted to give to Lilia-san, I also wanted to give one to Kuro and Isis-san, and to the people who helped me to work on this, so I increased the number of music boxes I will make……]
[……Ehh?]

[I had to change all the songs and designs, so I was lacking in time…… but I didn’t want to put off your gifts, so I figured I should just cut back on my sleep…… I’m really sorry . ]
[……For me? A present? The music box?]
[U- Unnn…… I’ve always been under Kuro, Isis-san and the other’s care after all…… So I wanted to take this opportunity to properly thank everyone for helping me . ]
[…………………]
When I honestly told her why, I timidly looked up at Kuro’s face again…… and saw Kuro had a complex expression of mixed anger and joy .
She tried speaking a few times, but then, I don’t know if she couldn’t find the words to say or not, but she remained silent with a troubled expression on her face, she tries to speak again…… after a few moments of that, as if she finally squeezes out the words out of her mouth, Kuro mutters .

[……That’s not fair…… Geez, there’s no way I could get angry if you say it like that……]
[……Kuro?]

[Ahh, geez!}
[ ! ? ]

With a voice that feels somewhat desperate, my hand is pulled and I am forced to lie down on Kuro’s lap .
[I’m happy for your feelings for me, Kaito-kun, but it would be all for naught if Kaito-kun you push yourself too hard and collapse!]
[Ugghhh…… It’s as you say . ]
[……But well…… I’m sure you’re going to somehow do your best again with this…… Hahh…… Geez, it can’t be helped……]
[Eh? T- This is?]
Kuro looked astounded, but still, with a somewhat gentle smile on her face, she held out her hand over me, who was lying on her lap .


Thereupon, a pale light flowed from Kuro’s hand, and when it touched my head…… My head gradually became clearer and the sleepiness I felt began fading .
[The Fruit of the World Tree won’t cure mental fatigue, but I can use Mental Interference Magic . ]
[S- So that magic exists……]
[Well, Kaito-kun has Shiro’s blessing, so you’ll probably nullify most of the others’ Mental Interference Magic, so I’m the only one who can cast this to you, you know?]

A magic that heals mental fatigue…… If it’s Kuro, she would certainly know of such magic .
How should I describe this…… Along with the feeling of her hand on my forehead, the feeling of fatigue is being soothed…… It feels incredibly pleasant .
[……For the time being, I’ll support you with this magic until Lilia-chan’s birthday . ]
[……Eh? I- Is that alright?]

[I mean, if I just let this matter go, you’ll probably still be rash…… So, I’ll make sure that you’re safe by watching over you . ]
[Ughhh…]
There’s no way for me to argue with that . What she said is absolutely right .
I’ll probably try to get it done in time for whatever reason…… Unnn, I guess Kuro can see me doing that .
[However, this is just something like a first-aid treatment, okay? This magic doesn’t completely heal all of your mental fatigue…… So, promise me…… After Lilia-chan’s birthday, you’ll get at least three days of rest…… Understand?]
[…… . Unnn . I understand . ]

[Unnn . Then, that’s good . ]
When I nodded, Kuro smiled at me like a blooming flower .
Seeing that beautiful, adorable smile, I feel Kuro’s kindness…… and my heart is filled with warm happiness .
As I laid down on Kuro’s lap, Kuro gently pats my head and with a smile on her face, she spoke .


[……Hey, Kaito-kun . Is there something else you want to do? Say whatever you want……]
[Errr……]
Her smile that was like that of the Holy Mother, just looking at her made me feel happy…… but at the same time, I also felt thirsty for a certain emotion .
As the feelings of love and affection overflowed from Kuro…… Her gentle words of encouragement pushed my back, making me silently ask .
[……Can I kiss you?]
[Unnn . ]

When Kuro hears my request, she immediately nods and moves her face closer to mine, slowly overlapping her lips over me .
We’re so close that our breaths could be felt by each other, and I can clearly see my eyes in her beautiful golden eyes .
[……Kuro . ]
[……Kaito-kun . ]
As if to confirm something, we called each other’s names once…… and the distance between Kuro and I became zero .
Dear Mom, Dad——— It’s an old bad habit of mine to only look straight in line when I’m focused . In the end, I caused Kuro to worry, and I need to reflect on that . However, it may be shameful to say this…… but when I see Kuro sincerely worried about me like this, even though I should be reflecting—— My happiness only grew .

Serious-senpai: [In the end, it all leads to you two flirting with each other!?]

Serious-senpai: [……No more…… This protagonist……]

The Nocturne Chapters continues…… (Big Lie . )
T/N: Nocturne = picture of a night scene . I think that’s what the author means here . The word Nocturne is literally written in katakana so…
