I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace Chapter 32

Chapter 32: 32
Perhaps, they continued cleaning the mansion throughout the night? In front of the mansion, which was cleaned so nicely that you’d think it was a new building, most of the employees serving the Albert Duchy are assembled .
The sight of Lilia-san and the others neatly aligned from the gate to the front door of the mansion is quite a sight to behold . It’s almost as if it shows how important the being who will be visiting here are and the air around them is filled with a tense, skin-tingling tension .
Today is the seventh day of the fire month, and noon is about to come—– and Kuro will be here soon .
I don’t know if it’s because of those things she needs to do that she mentioned the other night or the fact that she’ll be visiting today anyway, but Kuro didn’t appear in my room last night, and that’s partly why I’m feeling nervous .
In the quiet silence of the air, I look at the pocket watch in my hand . The moment the ticking second-hand circles around and the time indicates that noon has arrived—– the air changed .
[ ! ? ]
If I were to compare it to something, it would be as if the air around us had suddenly turned heavy or something like that…… A heavy pressure began weighing on my body .
The scenery ahead of us trembled as if we’re looking at a mirage, and in front of the wide-open gate, Kuro appeared .
She still had her black coat wrapped around her body, but Kuro doesn’t have the usual smile on her face, and the atmosphere she had is different from usual .
The people around her, including Lilia-san and I, spontaneously found ourselves bowing our heads . It’s as if everything in the surrounding space was prostrating themselves in front of her, and only the sound of Kuro’s footsteps echoed within the silence .

Her beautiful silver-white hair shimmered in the sunlight, and her golden eyes silently gazed only in front of her .
That is surely—- the march of a king .
It was supposed to be a solo march with no other members around her, but there was a tremendous presence and a sense of intimidation around her, as if tens of thousands of troops were marching .

It has only been a few seconds of walking from the gate to the front door . We can’t look away, we can’t speak, and we can’t even breath as we watched as the Absolute walked filled with confidence .
Thereupon, Kuro stands in front of deeply bowing Lilia-san and calmly spoke .
[My apologies for coming on such a short notice . Duchess Albert . ]
[T- There’s no need for apologies…… Welcome, thank you for coming . Underworld King Kuromueina-sama . ]
[Unnn . I know this is very sudden, I’d like to take my time talking to you, so would it be alright for us to go in?]
[Of course . Please come in……]
Exchanging greetings with Lilia-san with her calm, but a surely majestic voice, Kuro walked straight into the mansion, guided by Lilia-san .

Instead of the small reception room, we moved to a neatly decorated reception hall, and inside, only Lilia-san, Lunamaria-san, me, Kusunoki-san, Yuzuki-san, and few servants entered, and then, the large door closed .
Feeling Kuro’s overwhelming presence that is so different from the atmosphere she usually had that even a large room like this feels small, I looked at her, confused from seeing Kuro acting in a way I’ve never seen before .
Thereupon, when I met eyes with Kuro, she looked back at me with the usual bright smile on her face, and the pressure that had been weighing down on me immediately disappeared afterward .
[What do you think of that, Kaito-kun? My serious mode! Aren’t I cool!!?]
[…………… . ]
She just ruined the majestic image she had just now . I’ll repeat this twice because it’s that important, she just ruined the majestic she had just now .
I would like it if you give back all the reverence I had in you and the thoughts that I had that you really are the Underworld King after I saw your “majesty” . Also, even if that smug face of yours looks cute, it’s still kind of annoying .
Anyway, it seems that Kuro’s serious mode disappeared and her normal mode returned, as she is now talking to me with the bright smile she usually had .
And thus, even though I was stunned by the change in her behavior, I accepted Lilia-san’s suggestion to sit down, so as I took a seat in front of the large table, the person in front of me looks at me and taps the seat next to her .

[Kaito-kun, here, here . ]
The source of this content is lightnovelworld . com
[……Errr…… Unnn . Alright . ]
It seems like she wants me to sit next to her, and as I don’t know what to do, I looked towards Lilia-san, who silently nodded her head .
What she means is that she wants me to go along with Kuro’s wish . Recognizing that, I went along with what Kuro wanted and sat next to her .
Now then, what should I do about this…… The fact that she’s back to how she normally acts means that she’s probably going to sulk if I respectfully spoke to her, so I guess it would be better if I talk to her like I usually do huh?
[Kuro is the Underworld King huh……]
[Ahh~ That seems to be the case, but the people around me just called me that for their own convenience and I’ve never really introduced myself with that~~]
[Certainly, somehow, I feel like you wouldn’t fit the image of someone with a title like that . ]
[Ahaha, that’s right~]
Seeing me talking to Kuro with the tone I usually had, Lilia-san looked pale, but Kuro doesn’t seem to be bothered by it and replied with a bright smile on her face .
And in front of Kuro, Lunamaria-san brought a cup of tea, looking extremely nervous .

[U- Underworld King-sama…… P- Please have some tea……]
[Thanks~~, arehh?]
[ ! ? ]
Seeing the tea that Lunamaria-san placed down in front of her, Kuro looked at Lunamaria-san’s face and tilted her head after saying a few words of thanks .
Seeing her reacting to something, Lunamaria-san thought that she had probably done something careless, so she hurriedly got on her knees and tried to bow, but immediately afterward, she stiffened at the words Kuro had said .
[You, we met about ten years ago, didn’t we?]
[ ! ? ! ? ]
[If I’m not mistaken…… You’re Lunamaria-chan, right?]
[……S- So you…… remembered me……]
After catching on to the words that Kuro said, Lunamaria-san’s eyes widened as if to say she couldn’t believe it, it’s as if she’s stunned as she muttered so .

[Of course, I remember you . How’s your mother doing?]
[~~!? Y- Yes! Thanks to Underworld King-sama, she could even be described as the embodiment of healthiness itself!]
[I see, that’s good . ]
[Yes…… All of it was thanks to Underworld King-sama . I couldn’t even express my gratitude for that time……]
Come to think of it, Lilia-san did say that Lunamaria-san had met Kuro before, and at that time, she began to adore the Underworld King at the level of a zealot?
Lunamaria-san didn’t think that Kuro would remember her after only meeting once, and she looked like she’s overcome with emotions, she brought her hand together and deeply bowed her head .
[Don’t worry about that . You’ve grown up huh . I’m glad that we met again . ]
[ ~ ~ ! ? ! ? Y- Your words…… are wasted for this lowly me . ]
With a bright smile on her face, Kuro pats Lunamaria-san’s head, while Lunamaria-san is overcome with emotions again and bursts into tears .
I can only assume from their exchange that something must have happened to Lunamaria-san’s mother and Kuro helped her out with that .

In other words, she owes a great debt of gratitude to her, and that’s why she admires her so much . It was quite a good story, isn’t it……
And then, after Lunamaria-san went on and thanked Kuro repeatedly, she got up and went back behind Lilia-san, but on the way there, I could hear her quietly muttering something .
[……Underworld King-sama…… called me by my name…… she patted me…… to feel such happiness… . . I think I could now die in peace……]
[…………… . . ]
Unnn . Lunamaria-san…… Don’t you think that the needle of your vector has already swung too far past the feeling of gratitude? She has an expression on her face that looks like ecstasy, her face is all red like a maiden in love, and her gaze has only been focused on Kuro some time ago……
Dear Mom, Dad—— It looks like Lunamaria-san was helped by Kuro a long time ago . However, even if I were to take that into account, Lunamaria-san—–really is a zealot .

The Helena Chronicles
Espers are really no different than humans; they look like any normal human and in general behave like any normal human. However, there are a few key differences. The max life expectancy of espers ranges from forty-five to fifty. They naturally have a knack for mathematics and are extremely intelligent in general, this is because their abilities rely on the subconscious and conscious calculations. They also have a mysterious energy source they call Focus that is generated naturally by all espers. The continent of Elestveeve is populated by three major factions, each a governing force. On the west of the continent, there is the Noble Houses that subscribe to the Deity Faith. The Houses ruling with the Deity Faith as council since the religion's founding four-hundred years previous. Controlling most of the northeast is WITCH, an organization ruled by powerful espers; claiming the mysterious Genesis as their capital, they are a whispered myth among much of the continent's less technically advanced residents. In the southeast you have Tech City, a towering monolith of a capital with four sky layers and metropolis' leveled deep underground; it is a city brimming with technical advancement and cyber integration. Each faction contends with one another for their evolutionary ideology, by devout religious worship to receive miraculous gifts, unique genetic lineage to obtain ESP, and technological integration to become something more than human. Helena, a young genius and esper, awakes in a dark room with only fuzzy memories and the company of seven other children. She must determine how she got there and how to get back to where she came from. Warning: Due to time constraints, I don't have the time to keep up on my three stories; therefore, Helena will need to go in a stasis chamber until I can find more time to write between work and life. I love my first girl so much! however, it seems she is the least popular among the fans (the poor girl T_T). This world is much bigger than my other two novels and I'm not giving up on it, but simply having to put her on ice.
