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

The hidden talent show came to an end, and just as Alice had announced, it was now time for a break. It would last 30 minutes, so I definitely wanted to take the time to refresh myself mentally.

“Well then, as mentioned earlier, we’ll now take a 30-minute break. Everyone, please stay where you are. In 5 minutes, you’ll be transferred to individual rooms. If you’d prefer to share a room with someone, please picture that person in your mind. If both parties match, you’ll be transferred to the same room. So, if you want to take the break together with someone, make sure to discuss it during these 5 minutes.”

Ah, I see. For example, someone like Lilia-san would probably prefer to share a room with Luna-san or Sieg-san, and couples like Shigenobu-san and Hannah-san would likely want to be together.

So, if you talk it over and then picture the person in your mind, the room assignments will reflect that…… Hmmm, I think I’m fine on my own for now. I’ll just take a relaxing break.

With that in mind, I waited the 5 minutes, and then the scenery blurred, and I was transferred to what looked like a spacious, high-end hotel room. It seemed like a nice place, but well, as that thought crossed my mind, glancing around…… I froze when my gaze landed on one spot.

[……Arehh? Errr…… why are you here, Shiro-san?]

Standing there as if it were the most natural thing in the world was Shiro-san. I could’ve sworn I imagined myself taking the break alone, which means I shouldn’t have ended up in the same room as Shiro-san…… So that must mean she’s the one who pictured me instead.

[A significant unfairness occurred, so I’m here to correct it.]

[……Unfairness?]

I tilted my head, not quite grasping what she meant, and Shiro-san nodded lightly before explaining.

[Yes. When giving you a present, the other lovers each did something special. Since that trend started partway through, I, who gave you a present first, didn’t get to do anything special. This is very unfair.]

[……A- Ah, I see……]

Now I understood what she meant. It’s true, I’m not sure when it started, but from a certain point, it became a thing for the lovers to do something a little special when giving their gifts. Well, Kuro and Sieg-san didn’t really do anything out of the ordinary, so it wasn’t a hard rule, but I could understand why Shiro-san would be dissatisfied, especially given her past behavior.

……In Kuro’s case, maybe not during the gift-giving, but she did kiss me on the cheek when I won the game tournament. That might be the kind of thing that left Shiro-san feeling left out.

[……Errr, so in other words, your request is?]

[During this 30-minute break, I want to spend time with you doing couple-like things while also making sure you get to properly relax.]

[So basically, you want to spend the 30-minute break together in my room?]

[Yes.]

……If you ask me whether there’s a problem with that, there really isn’t. Naturally, I have no issue spending time with Shiro-san, my lover.

The only thing that concerns me is the idea of doing “couple-like things” while also resting. What exactly does that entail? At the very least, judging from what she said, I can tell she doesn’t mean anything indecent. She genuinely wants me to relax, mentally and physically. So, what would be a good way to do both?

[I don’t mind resting with you at all. In fact, I’m happy about it but…… what do you mean by doing couple-like things while resting? Do you have anything in mind, Shiro-san?]

[Please don’t worry. I’ve thought it through carefully. I have a plan that lets you relax while also doing something couple-like with me.]

Shiro-san nodded confidently, then sat at the edge of a large sofa in the room and patted her thigh.

[And so, come here.]

[Ahh, you’re offering me a lap pillow.]

[Yes. That way, you can lie down and rest, and it’s also a perfect couple-like event.]

Indeed, this really might be the best way to both let me rest and fulfill Shiro-san’s wish to be affectionate.

Fortunately, we were alone in this break room, and I didn’t feel particularly embarrassed about the situation, so it was easy to just go along with it and let myself relax.

[Well then, since you’re offering, I’ll take you up on that.]

[Yes.]

Accepting Shiro-san’s offer, I moved over to the sofa, took off my shoes, and laid down, resting my head on her lap. Her thighs were soft and radiated a gentle warmth that was incredibly comforting. When I looked up, I could see Shiro-san smiling slightly, the corners of her lips gently raised. It was an ideal situation, comfortable, peaceful, and the perfect place to relax.

[You’re welcome to take a nap, you know?]

[That’s a tempting offer. Honestly, it feels so good I might just fall asleep anyway.]

[I can extend the time however long we want, so there’s no need for you to worry.]

[I see…… Well then, maybe just a little……]

Even if this break was supposed to be 30 minutes, with Shiro-san’s abilities, adjusting time would be simple. She could easily stretch the break if needed.

With Shiro-san’s reassurance, and the comfort of her lap pillow, a deep sleepiness quickly began to wash over me.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [That’s terrifying…… Saying she can extend the time as much as she wants, those are some truly terrifying words…… And Kaito seems pretty relaxed about getting all lovey-dovey just because they’re alone together…… This is a dangerous turn of events.]
