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

Chapter 46 - My Date with Kuro has Begun

It was the fifteenth day of the month of Fire, the day after that disastrous conversation with the Goddess of Time. And I am now standing in front of the fountain in the capital.

Yesterday, Kuro suddenly invited me to go out with her, and before I knew it, I am going to tour the streets of the capital with her.

Kuro, who seems to have some strange information regarding dating, had been throwing a tantrum, saying that “if we don’t meet up in an appointed place, it’s no good!”, so here I am, in front of the fountain where I first met Kuro.

The sun has just risen to its peak, and checking the time in my pocket watch, it’s about an hour before noon…… I guess it’s about 10 minutes before the time we planned to meet up?

In the first place, it’s quite strange to meet up with someone who always shows up when I least expect it, so it’s kind of refreshing waiting for Kuro like this.

Kuro seems like she wanted to do the standard “Sorry, did you wait?” and “No, I just got here.” exchange, so but does she really need to be elaborate on this meet up like yesterday? As a result of that, I arrived first and waited here.

After waiting for a while, watching the people passing by, and although it was also a standard, I heard a familiar voice coming from behind me.

[Kaito-kun. Sorry, did you wait?]

[……No, I just got—– here?]

[Unnn?]

As we discussed, I turned around, returning the words that Kuro wanted to hear, but my thoughts froze right at that instant.

Kuro, who has just appeared, wasn’t wearing the long coat so sloppy that it could be mistaken for a robe that she always wears.

Short-sleeved lace tunic that gives the impression of being white and elegant, and brown shorts that seem to complement her beautiful thighs that are as white as porcelain. The long black coat that she usually had its shape changed to a sleeveless jacket, and the hem that reaches below the knee matches well with her white tunic, and although she was lightly dressed, her appearance still looks somewhat elegant.

……what should I do, she’s absurdly cute. She is so cute that the lolicons would give their thumbs up and those who aren’t would be more inclined to consider becoming one……

[Kaito-kun?]

[Ah, no…… I was just a little surprised to see you dressed so differently.]

[Ah~ I see. What do you think? Does it suit me?]

[Ah, yeah. It looks really good on you.]

[Ehehe, thanks!]

I think that bashful smile just now is foul play. Ah, this is no good. I’m starting to feel very nervous.

It may be something that I’m shameful about for a 21-year-old man, but I can only count on one hand the number of times I’ve gone out with a woman. Moreover, those handfuls of experiences also include those times I went out with Lunamaria-san and Sieg-san, which should show that my experiences in my previous world are equivalent to zero.

It’s the first time in my life that I’ve even been on a date with someone, and no matter how much I recognize this as just going outside to hang out with Kuro, it would be stranger for me if I’m not nervous at all.

Moreover, Kuro is a beautiful girl who is looking at me favorably. No matter how familiar I am with her, I can’t help but feel a blush rise on my cheeks when she gave me that charming smile.

[S- Speaking of which, you’re quite famous, Kuro, so is it okay for you to walk around the city?]

For the time being, I’ll try escaping to another topic. It’s not because I can’t think of ways to praise her clothes and not be able to speak at all, or for some lame reasons like that.

Kuro is the Underworld King, one of the pinnacles of the Demon Realm. Her face is known from the previous Festival of Heroes, and she’s a very famous existence herself…… If we were to put it like when I was back in my previous world, it’s like having a prime minister or the Emperor himself appearing in the city, which would cause a great uproar…… Though no one among the surroundings is causing any ruckus. I wonder why?

[Fufufu, I wouldn’t make such a mistake! I’ve properly clad myself with Information Concealment and Recognition Inhibition Magic, so they would know if I talk to the person myself, but they wouldn’t know I’m here unless I want to!]

“Erhem.” or so Kuro told me, puffing out her modest chest…… The smug look she had on her face is annoyingly cute.

[Hmmm, there’s still a lot of things I don’t understand about magic, but does that mean that the nearby people wouldn’t recognize Kuro as the Underworld King?]

[Unnn. Or rather, it’s more like they don’t feel anything out of place when they see me…… Well, it’s more like they would recognize me as a city girl you would normally see walking around here.]

[I don’t know if I should say I understand or not……]

[Ahaha, well, let’s just put that aside and get going!]

As Kuro explained, Recognition Inhibition Magic is, to put it simply, something unnatural…… Even if you look at the unusual situation where the Underworld King is walking around the city, you would think it’s natural—– or perhaps, a magic that would make people recognize it as a scene no different from their everyday life? Combined with the Information Concealment Magic, which apparently makes it so that if she doesn’t talk to the other person directly, they won’t know that Kuro is the Underworld King.

Well, it would be difficult to understand theoretically if you think about it in detail, so it would be better to just recognize it as magic being able to do something awesome.

[Speaking of which, where are we going today?]

Incidentally, the escort for this date (?) is Kuro.

Normally, it would have been me, the man, who should have been the one escorting her, but I’ve only been in this world for less than two weeks, and I’ve only been in the city a few times, so it’s difficult for me to do that.

That’s why Kuro, who often visits the Symphonia Kingdom, is the one showing me around the city.

[There are a variety of shops around here and we can go around there, but it’s almost lunchtime already. There’s a place where food stalls gathered a short walk away from here, so let’s go there first.]

[Oh, the food stalls of this world huh…… That sounds like fun.]

[Unn, unnn. The Symphonia Kingdom has an advanced food culture, so there’s lots of good food around here~~]

Seeing the happy smile on Kuro’s face, a smile inadvertently appeared on my face as I nodded my head.

I don’t know if my personality could be described as having a good match with Kuro’s innocent and cheerful personality, but I enjoy being together with her, as a smile naturally appears on my face.

I’m tired after all the things that happened yesterday, and today, I’ll enjoy the opportunity of this short period of rest that Kuro has prepared for me.

[Now then, let’s goooooo~!]

[Eh? Wait, Kuro!?]

[Unnn? What’s the matter?]

After cheerfully declaring so, Kuro takes my hand with action that looks like it’s natural for her.

[N- No, my hand……]

[Aren’t you supposed to hold hands on dates?]

[T- That really might be so but……]

[Then, it should be alright! Come on, let’s go!]

[……Y- Yeah……]

After telling me like that as if it’s natural, Kuro proceeded to pull my hand and walked forward.

Wait a sec there, Kuro-san. Your guard is a little too loose!!! Or rather, your hands are tiny and soft…… Ah, I’m starting to get nervous again, even though I’m starting to calm down…… I guess this is also one of those days where I’m going to be mentally struggling all day……

Dear Mom, Dad—— This may be an over the top template development in a way, but in any case, in this way—— my date with Kuro has begun.
