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

Chapter 1213 - Duke-Rank and Maid-Rank ?

Chapter 1213 - Duke-Rank and Maid-Rank ?

After the Underworld King’s camp, War King’s camp, and the World King’s camp, the place we went to next…… is my house.

[……Why?]

[No, we don’t have to go to Isis-san’s castle, since she’s over there, you know? Iris, I mean.]

[Ahh, the next one is Iris-san huh.]

[I’ve already told her to swap with the clone in the basement bar in advance. Iris is also quite good at Space-Time Magic, so she quickly learned the magic of swapping her main body with her clone.]

In other words, the next place we’re heading to is Iris-san’s bar, since she’s in the Death King’s camp. Nodding in understanding to Alice’s words, we walked to Iris-san’s bar, where we were greeted by Iris-san.

As soon as we were seated at the counter, Alice began to make small talk with her.

[And so, Iris. You’re a Duke-rank now.]

[……You have no intention of explaining huh. Well, I had heard some things about this beforehand…… Even so, isn’t my pace quite strange?]

[Well, in just 2 years from your resurrection, you’ve gone up to Duke-rank. That honestly makes you the fastest in history, but in Iris’ case, you have an unfair start over everyone.]

Iris-san was originally Alice’s clone that has almost the same physical abilities as her…… Errr, something like a Perfect Clone or something like that, so needless to say, it could be said that her basic level at her starting point was on the level of the Six Kings.

Well, in fact, it seems that she wasn’t able to use that extremely strong power, and I heard that she was only able to draw power as much as a mid Count-rank.

After Shiro-san had given her the item that allows her to generate her own magic power, even though her basic abilities had been reduced due to adjustments, it seems that allows her body to grow.

[……Speaking of which, it just occurred to me, but Iris-san’s body was originally Alice’s clone, right? I heard she was amassing a large number of those clones, but isn’t there any strain on Alice’s?]

[It used to have some strain on me back then, but it isn’t a problem now. To be honest, the me right now can easily make a few hundred million clones…… Also, as for Iris’ current body, in the first place, it has already been rebuilt in a different way from a clone.]

[Ahh, so Iris-san doesn’t have your clone as her base?]

[Yes, I had her body created based on the items given to me by Shallow Vernal-sama.]

……”Had her body created”? Who did? Did she ask Shiro-san, or perhaps, Kuro, just like how she created Zwei-san’s body……

As I was thinking about this, Iris-san spoke.

[I don’t mind the idea of becoming a Duke-rank…… but didn’t I hear how you’re gonna raise two people from each camp?]

[Ahh~~ I intended to do that, but the number of Death King’s subordinates is too small at the moment, so for the time being, it would just be Iris. After a while, when your camp has more people under your command, I will have another one become a Duke-rank.]

[Fumu, well, do whatever you want. It’s not like being a Duke-rank changes anything. Especially since I’m still new to this world, I have no special thoughts about the Peerage system…… It does feel a little uncomfortable that I’m classified as a Demon instead of a Human.]

[It is a fact that the current Iris isn’t a Human after all.]

[Well, I guess that’s true.]

Hearing Alice’s words, Iris-san wryly smiled. The conversation between the two of them is light and casual, but being best friends, their conversation really has this calm mood around it.

It’s like, they have this air around them that was open for the other person.

[Even so, going from one place to another in the morning, it must be rough for Miyama Kaito too.]

[Come to think of it, quite some time has passed huh.]

[……Guess that’s the reason you came at this time?]

[As expected, Iris quickly gets it. We leave our lunch to you.]

[……Haahhh……]

Ahh, I see, the reason why we went to the bar instead of Isis-san’s castle at this time was that she was planning to have lunch here huh…… Indeed, looking at the clock, it was exactly noon.

Letting out a sigh of dismay, Iris-san snapped her fingers. Thereupon, a small pot appeared in front of Iris-san.

[……Are you fine with dry curry? I made some yesterday, so I could easily prepare it now.]

[I’m OK with anything.]

[Ah, I’m alright with it too. I’m sorry for the suddenness.]

[No, don’t mind it. I’ll prepare it right away, so wait for a bit while I make you some drinks…… As for you, Alice, I pretty much mind it, so go prepare your own drink.]

[That’s strange, isn’t it? Even though you’re so kind to Kaito-san, why is this best friend of mine not kind to me at all……]

She suddenly barged in and demanded lunch, so I guess her acting like that can’t be helped.

Even so, as Iris-san began to prepare a drink for me as she said, them bantering like that really feels like they were close, making me smile a bit.

<Afterword>

Makina: [……She made me create it.]

Serious-senpai : [I freaking knew it!!! I was feeling like I’d seen something like that happening before.]
