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

After returning home, we decided to have another drink in my room, but just as we arrived, Sieg-san made a suggestion.

[Kaito-san, if we start drinking again now, it will get fairly late, so how about we both take our baths first?]

[Ah, right. We just got back from outside anyway, so taking a bath first sounds good…… Will an hour later in my room work?]

[Yes. Well then, I will see you later.]

And so, we agreed that we should both bathe first. Since we had already finished dinner, by the time we finished drinking, it would be late enough that going straight to bed wouldn’t be strange, so having a bath beforehand really was the best choice.

I went into my home and straight toward the bathroom, lightly touching the magic tool installed at the entrance before heading to my room. That device was a bath magic tool that automatically filled the tub when activated, a very convenient invention.

The same applies to Lilia-san’s mansion, but the bath in my house is quite large. From my old-world perspective, it feels like unbelievable water waste, but with magic tools, things change a lot.

The bath magic tool in my house creates the hot water with magic, and after use, performing a certain operation converts the water back into magic power. Thanks to this extremely eco-friendly function, I can enjoy the first bath of the day not just once, but as many times as I want.

And since filling the tub only takes a few minutes, it’s incredibly convenient.

Incidentally, this bath magic tool is also installed in the bath of Lilia-san’s mansion. Heck, it seems to be a popular magic tool among high-ranking nobles, and households of Count rank or higher almost always have one.

Well, it is extremely convenient, but it’s also a large-scale magic tool, so naturally it’s expensive. On top of that, shrinking it is apparently difficult, meaning the bathroom inevitably becomes large, so only nobles with considerable financial means can afford to install one.

These kinds of large-scale magic tools might be considered the specialty of magic tools. But when it comes to fine, delicate functions, machines still win. Air-conditioning in particular is hard for magic tools, you can’t do detailed temperature control or quick switching. Even a magic tool on the level of an electric fan costs about the same as an air conditioner, so while Symphonia has a stable climate year-round, general citizens in cold countries like Archlesia Empire have a hard time with it.

Well, if you can use magic, learning a spell that adjusts the temperature around your body might actually be cheaper.

Thinking about such things, I returned to my room, checked the area around the sofa where I would probably be drinking with Sieg-san, and since everything looked fine, I headed to the bath and washed up.

Sieg-san might need more time, but I definitely don’t need an hour to bathe. Should I prepare something? But Sieg-san already made the snacks, and between the leftover wine and the ripple liquor, we have more than enough to drink.

In that case, there’s nothing special to prepare…… Ah, right. I received that cat-ear device, the one that plays music, from Electrone-san as a birthday present. Playing some nice music could make the atmosphere feel stylish.

A room filled with elegant music, holding a wine glass, spending the evening with one’s lover…… that sounds really good. The only problem is that for me, “elegant music” basically just means classical music. Someone like Ozma-san would probably pick something that fits the mood perfectly without effort……

(Please excuse the sudden intrusion into your mind. Outputting apology and explanation…… <I’m sorry for suddenly interrupting you, Kaito-sama. I sensed that you thought of me for a moment, and I reflexively confirmed it with omniscience.> ……I apologize for startling you and for rudely peeking into the situation without permission.)

……Good evening, Electrone-san. Well, I’m pretty used to Shiro-san doing this sort of thing, so it’s fine. Is this some sort of cross-world communication? In any case, I’m happy we get to talk again.

(Outputting deep emotion…… <My oshi is endlessly kind! I’m so smitten it hurts……> Now outputting the main point…… <I’m sorry. Let me get to the point. About the device I gave you, even if you don’t specify a song title or genre, it has a mode that plays music that fits the atmosphere. It automatically chooses something suitable based on Kaito-sama’s mental state and mood. Just think “auto mode” when you turn it on and press the switch!> ……Explanation complete.)

I see, so it has such a convenient function…… Thank you for taking the time to tell me. I imagine things must be complicated since we’re in different worlds, but if you ever have the chance, please come visit again.

(Outputting overwhelming emotion…… <My oshi’s preciousness is overflowing. With the way I am now, I could probably beat ten Omnipotent and Omniscient beings at once.> ……Thank you for your kind words. When that time comes, I would be very happy to speak with you again. Thank you for taking the time to talk with this unit…… This concludes the transmission.)

Thank you as well.

……So she can communicate from another world too…… Well, for an Omnipotent and Omniscient God, that’s probably nothing. Rather, starting the conversation with an apology really shows how remarkably normal and considerate she always is.

<Afterword>

Virtual Angel : [Outputting intuition…… <Hah!? My oshi is thinking about me!!!>]

Noja Loli : [……Aren’t you saying almost the exact same thing I just did?]

Virtual Angel : [Please refrain from equating this with your delusions of grandeur. In this case, there is an undeniable fact that this unit’s name actually was thought of.]

Noja Loli : [I see…… Guess I’ll call the gorilla……]

Virtual Angel : [Cease your interference. For the noble purpose of answering Kaito-sama’s question, this unit must obtain interworld-communication authorization from Shallow Vernal. Should the summoning of a dangerous creature cause a delay in delivering my answer to Kaito-sama, that responsibility shall be attributed to the Polar Star God. Do you accept that?]

Noja Loli : [Ugh…… I can’t trouble the First Star…… Fine. I’m jealous, but I’ll just sit here and watch with my fingers in my mouth……]
