I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace - Chapter 619

The 24th day of the second Fire month. It was a beautiful morning and the temperature was just right, so after completing my daily routine of brushing Bell and watering the World Tree seedling, I went shopping.

I didn’t really have any specific thing I’d like to buy, but I thought it would be nice to just roam around like this.

Passing by the street lined with expensive stores that I often visit, I arrived at the widest street in the royal capital of Symphonia.

There are so many different stores on the main street that just looking around is already quite fun. For the time being, I decided to take a leisurely walk in the direction of the royal castle.

As I was walking along, looking at the people and stores on the street, I suddenly noticed a store that looked brand new.

The sign in front of the stylish store said “Open Today”, indicating that it was a newly opened store.

I wonder what kind of shop this is? The shape of the store is stylish, and the door have fantastic designs on them. It kind of looks like those magic tricks shops back on Earth though…… So, I guess it’s a magic tool store?

If so, I’m a bit, no, I’m quite interested. The exterior of the shop had a nice atmosphere, and as a Japanese, I’m very intrigued by the fact that it was a newly opened shop. Alright, since it’s a great opportunity, let’s check it out.

Pushing the door open, when I entered the shop……

[Welcome! My first ever cus…… to…… mer?]

[………………]

Eyes obscured by her slightly unkempt brown hair, and dressed in a black robe with fantastic patterns…… A woman who looked strangely familiar greeted me.

After the woman cheerfully said “Welcome”, she stiffened when she saw my face…… and a few moments later, she slumped down with her hands on the floor.

[……The heck is this? Did I do something wrong in my past life or something? Why, of all people, is my first customer this extremely familiar Human…… I mean, he’s totally becoming my regular here……]

[Errr….. You’re that person who was doing fortune-telling at the Six Kings Festival…… right?]

Yes, this woman was the owner of the compatibility fortune-telling stall that I had found when I was touring with Isis-san at the Six Kings Festival, and I remembered her face because I had visited her many times afterwards at the request of my dates.

Speaking of which, when I went to her stall with Shiro-san on the last day, I think she said “that this store would be great in the Capital of the Symphonia Kingdom”.

[W- Well, anyway, even though I’m really reluctant, a customer is still a customer. Welcome, Human-san.]

[Ah, yes. Errr, I’m Miyama Kaito.]

[……Elise. You don’t have to remember it. Well then, please come this way, Human-san.]

Apparently, she doesn’t feel like remembering my name. It doesn’t feel like she hates me, but I get the feeling that she thinks that I’m a nuisance.

Well, considering the trouble I brought her at the Six Kings Festival, I can’t complain……

[Even so, it’s quite surprising. You don’t seem to be the type to be interested in fortune-tellings, Human-san. Well, I’ll give you some credit for choosing my store.]

[Errr, yes…… Your shop had a stylish and beautiful appearance, so I was intrigued.]

I couldn’t say it. I can’t tell her that I didn’t really know what kind of store this is and just went in because it was newly opened.

[Fufufu, you have quite an eye for detail. Yes, I was very particular about the design of the store.]

It seems that praising the store’s appearance was the right choice, as Elise’s voice turns a little more upbeat. Elise then moved to the table placed in the back of her shop, which would probably be used for fortune-telling, before speaking.

[……So, Human-san? Which do you prefer, “fortune-telling that tells you what would likely happen” or “fortune-telling that gives good results”?]

[Errr, there are different types of fortune-telling?]

[Yes, unfortunately, in order to make a profit, I need to have fortune-telling for the public’s entertainment. Normally, I’d decide based on the customer’s state, but I’ll let Human-san choose here. I owe you a debt of gratitude for making this store possible for me to build, so I’ll tell your fortune for free. Only for the first time, that is. But if you want to buy some of my goods here, you still have to pay.]

When I was told that, I looked around the store and saw that she also sold some things that looked like good luck charms……

[……Then, I’ll go with the fortune-telling that tells me what would likely happen.]

[Alright. Then, sit in that chair over there.]

[Yes.]

I sat down on a chair in front of a table covered with a purple cloth. If there was a crystal ball on the table, it would exactly fit the fortune-telling that I had imagined but…… there wasn’t a crystal ball on the table.

As I was thinking about this, Elise took a bunch of cards that looked like tarot cards and sat down across from me.
