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

Chapter 1706: Afternoon Founding Festival with Shallow Vernal ①

[They’re selling quite a lot of things here.]

[This is that, isn’t it?]

[That?]

[It’s that event where Kaito-san finds an accessory that suits me and gives it to me as a present.]

……She’s asking for an absurdly high hurdle!? No, giving Shiro-san accessories isn’t a problem at all, but when it comes to accessories that suit Shiro-san, the difficulty level suddenly rises.

After all, Shiro-san is someone who literally has divine beauty, and ordinary accessories would just lose out to her good looks.

[……A- As expected, the difficulty of doing that is just exceedingly high. Finding accessories that not only suit Shiro-san, but also match Shiro-san’s beauty in this marketplace is quite a challenge…… In that case, I feel like making accessories from scratch would be a better way to ensure that it would truly suit Shiro-san.]

[……Oh my, I actually wasn’t expecting that much, but that’s certainly a very nice offer.]

[Eh?]

[Well then, I’m looking forward to it.]

Arehh? That’s strange, the flow of things kinda headed somewhere strange…… Wait, don’t tell me it’s like I’m going to make an accessory for Shiro-san and give it to her as a present!? No, that just increases the difficulty level even more!

Heck, I already made one before and gave it to you, didn’t I!?

[This and that are two different things.]

She just says it outright. With no hesitation on her face, she cheerfully and happily declared that. H- Hmmm. It can’t be helped. This is all my fault for saying such a careless thing.

[No, but I can’t create something like the real thing, so I’ll have to make it like before, using that kit-like thing Alice prepared for me before.]

[Yes, that’s fine. I would be much happier with something you made rather than something bought from a store.]

[Ugh, when you put it like that…… Haahhh…… I understand. I’ll give it my best shot, so don’t expect too much, okay?]

[Fufu, yes. Thank you, Kaito-san.]

When she has such a happy expression on her face, there’s no way I can’t give it my best. I made a necklace before, so this time, I’ll try my hand at something else like bracelets or brooches.

Well, just like before, it seems like I’ll have to rely on Alice, but I’ll collaborate with her on this while making sure to include conditions like making them for Alice too. Aiming to create an accessory that suited Shiro-san is absolutely impossible for me alone……

[W- Well, let’s leave it at that and have a look around, shall we?]

[You’re right.]

For the time being, I’ll think about accessories after the festival, but for now, I’m going to look at the stalls. They really have quite the variety, but it’s not as chaotic as a flea market, and each shop seems to be organized to some extent.

The first stall we stopped at without much thought had paintings on display, and there were a variety of paintings on display.

However, hmmm. To be honest, I don’t really understand art. Yeah, I can understand when a landscape is beautiful, but I can’t handle complicated art.

Even when I look at a painting that costs many times more than a landscape painting, I can’t really understand what’s so wonderful about it. Maybe Rosemary-san or someone like her would be able to understand it but……

As I had such thoughts in mind, I whispered to Shiro-san, who was standing next to me.

[Shiro-san, can you tell how that painting is good?]

[I don’t know? I can’t tell how that’s any different from the others.]

[Right…… Should we go to other shops then……]

It seems like Shiro-san isn’t interested at all, or rather, she can’t tell how it’s different from any other painting. Well, I certainly feel like Shiro-san knows even less about art than I do, like she has zero interest in it from the start.

For the time being, we decided to just head out to the next shop quickly. When I looked at the adjacent store, they seemed to have books and some other stuff. From their appearance, they don’t seem to be used books, appearing to be brand new.

Since there’s a guidebook about the geography and tourist attractions of Hydra Kingdom placed prominently, this store might be selling tourist guidebooks targeting visitors.

As I moved my gaze around with this in mind, I saw a magazine with a front page stating “Recommended for Couples! 10 Date Spots in Hydra Kingdom”.

[Kaito-san, let’s buy that.]

[I somehow had a feeling you’d say that. I’m certainly not familiar with the sights here in Hydra, so buying it might be a good idea.]

Putting aside whether or not I could actually go to the sights on Founding Festival, I decided to buy the magazine anyway because I enjoy looking over such magazines.

Well, if there’s a place that seems feasible to visit, it would be a good idea to go there with Shiro-san.
