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

Chapter 1103 - Founder Olivia ?

Chapter 1103 - Founder Olivia ?

For the time being, I’ve decided to talk to Olivia-san while standing, but she was just silently staring at me, completely waiting for me to move.

[Errr, by the way, do you have something that you would need to do after this, Olivia-san?]

[No, my business had already finished. I will follow Miyama Kaito-sama’s will regarding the rest of the day. My schedule for today is open.]

……Unnn, well, I guess I can say I’ve finished greeting her, right? And now, she’s leaving what’s next to me.

In other words, this might be too extreme, but there would be no problem even if we call it a day and go home. However, that would make things awkward, and I would like to deepen our friendship……

[A- Anyhow, I don’t know much about Olivia-san…… but I can treat Olivia-san as a God, right?]

[No, I was created by Shallow Vernal-sama as an extremely neutral being who doesn’t belong to any of the three realms. My descent could be described as close to that of the Gods, but the Gods, including the Supreme Gods, have no authority to direct me. Only Shallow Vernal-sama may give me an order.]

I guess this would be something that varies depending on how the person looks at it. Whether or not Olivia-san is a God depends on whether they consider Shiro-san as the Head of the Gods or as the Creator God, the pinnacle of the world, a being different from her subjects, with the Supreme Gods as the representatives of the Gods.

At any rate, I don’t know if I should expect this or not, but when the topic is about Shiro-san…… or rather, about the role Shiro-san had given her, she was more talkative.

If we’re going to talk, I suppose this might be a good direction to go.

[I guess you’re extremely neutral because you’re the representative of the Friendship City, right?]

[Yes. The Friendship Treaty has been made on the principle that the three realms are equal. Therefore, Shallow Vernal-sama created me as the representative of this city, a being who wouldn’t be affiliated with the God Realm, Human Realm, or Demon Realm, and gave me the role of representative of the city and guardian of the original texts of the Friendship Treaty.]

[The original texts of the Friendship Treaty…… I guess that really would be very important huh.]

[The loss of the original texts of the treaty will not make the friendship built up between the three realms crumble, but because it’s extremely valuable from a global perspective, I will continue to safekeep it.]

[I see.]

……Feels like the conversation is moving forward quite a bit. Alright, let’s keep going like this and expand the topic, moving the conversation about the Friendship City.

[Speaking of which, I’m changing the subject…… I did some light sightseeing in the Friendship City before coming here, and there really are many stores that I don’t see in other cities. The atmosphere is also very different from the time when the Festival of Heroes was held…… Incidentally, is there any place you would recommend?]

[We have a guide about the city prepared, which I think could provide a good reference.]

[……Eh? Ah, no…… Errr, do you have any places you recommend, Olivia-san?]

[I don’t know.]

[……You don’t know?]

Arehh? That’s strange. I thought bringing up the topic regarding the Friendship City towards Olivia-san, the representative of this city, would make the conversation going…… but she just handed me a brochure.

In the end, when I asked her for some places she recommended, she just told me she doesn’t know…… With how she said she held extreme neutrality earlier, I thought it would be a bad idea to ask her for recommendations in regards to a specific place or restaurant, since she can’t say stuff like this place is bad or stuff like that…… but her responding with an “I don’t know” is quite a strange reply.

[Except for going out to the Central Plaza when the Festival of Heroes is held, and the previous White God Festival, “I haven’t gone outside of the Cathedral”, so I don’t know.]

[……Huh? Eh? You haven’t gone outside other than the Festival of Heroes, which are held once a decade and the previous White God Festival?]

[Yes. I am only the representative of the city. As for jobs like inspections and such, they are done by the division representatives, and isn’t part of my role. Basically, I only make the final decisions in meetings and conferences.]

[……What do you do when you don’t have meetings and other such stuff then?]

[I pray.]

I can’t help but be at a loss for words at Olivia-san’s nonchalant answer. Perhaps, or perhaps, it’s almost certain that she’s not lying. This person seriously had only been out of the Cathedral a handful of times, and that’s probably why she had never even properly looked at the streets of the Friendship City.

[The role assigned to me is to be the representative of the city and protect the Friendship Treaty. The rest of the time, I do nothing else but quietly pray, which I believe is the way I should be, and by extension, the very way Shallow Vernal-sama wants me to be.]

[……I think you’re wrong.]

[Wrong? Were you saying what I thought was a mistake?]

[Yes. No, I wouldn’t know what you wish and what kind of things you want to do, Olivia-san…… but that’s definitely not what Shiro-san wants.]

[……Is…… that so? Am I…… not following…… Shallow Vernal-sama’s will?]

Hearing the words I calmly said, Olivia-san’s expression changed for the first time. She seemed anxious, or perhaps, sincerely puzzled.

[……There’s…… no way. No, but…… If it’s the word of Miyama Kaito-sama, who can be said to know Shallow Vernal-sama better than anyone else in this world, then……]

Perhaps, it’s because of my position that this worked out well. If someone else had said the same thing, Olivia-san would probably have dismissed their words and their mind won’t waver.

But having received Shiro-san’s blessing, and as Shiro-san and I are lovers, she can’t seem to ignore my words, and I get the sense that she is quite shaken.

……It’s just a hunch, but I think I’m starting to get to know Olivia-san better. And feeling that her thoughts at this point of time were something I should change course, even if a little forcefully…… so to start with, I’m going to firmly correct Olivia-san’s misunderstandings.
