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

During the journey, I sometimes stayed in a wild inn, but of course it wasn't just that, I also rested in the inn.There were very few accommodations with large rooms for all four people, and basically two people separated and stayed in one room.

At that time, there were basically many rooms called Light and Hapti, Ragna and Forth.

At that time, there was still no magic equipment, and in a room where only the light of the lantern felt dim, the light finished writing the diary and moved its gaze.

A little farther away, Hapti in the same room lined up knives on the floor and checked each with a serious expression.

This is how Hapti always cares for his tools before he goes to bed.Check all the tools at once, whether they were used that day or not....

Looking at the situation a little, did the maintenance finish? Hapti didn't use the tools lined up... and now he took out something like cheese.

This is basically everyday, but Haptie eats a little before she goes to bed.Dry meat, fruit, or anything in particular is undetermined, but since she eats something that can be eaten with a sip and then goes to sleep, it is also a sign that it is time for her to go to bed to take out some kind of food.

Hapti cuts the removed cheese into smaller pieces and brings them to the light.This is also the usual flow, so the light receives the cheese normally and can be put into the mouth at the same time as Hapti.

And after eating, turning off the lights and sleeping is the usual thing... but it was just a little different that day.The light that finished eating the cheese did not turn off the light, and Haptie tilted her neck looking at it with an unexpected look on her face.

"... Hikari?"

"Hapti... what would you do if... for example... if I told you that I wanted to escape?"

It is difficult to explain to Light himself why he said such a thing.I may have traveled so long and been tired.

Perhaps you and Hapti were just a little tense in a situation where your mind was relaxed and a weak sound was pouring out.

Or... if the calendar of the world I was in matches the calendar of this world, maybe tomorrow is just my birthday, or maybe it's just a little homesick.

Hapti tells her that she doesn't have any particular thoughts about the words she tells with such chaotic feelings.

"Hmm? Well then, why don't you run away with me!So let's be prostitutes, Hikari is an amateur, so I'll teach you a lot! "

"... pu, fufu... ahaha"

"I wonder why I laugh...."

The light laughed unexpectedly at the words spoken as if they were normal.The answer was too haptic...

After all, she is much more consistent.That was also the case when we talked about the reasons for fighting before, but she accompanied us because the light was on a journey of demon king crusade, and if the light ran away, there was no reason to go out with us anymore, so we ran away together...

No matter what choice the light made, she felt that Hapti… 'stayed with me', and that's the answer… Words that made her feel like she wasn't alone in the light of being summoned by another world to fight… really helpless and pleasant.

"Because you're not a prostitute, you're a bandit."

"Uh-uh, technically, I think it feels like a thief who helps weakness and frustrates strength."

"Ahahaha!"

"That funny!?"

That's why the light burst out laughing... in response to my expectations, "as if to deceive the tears of joy".

Afterwards, I apologized to Hapti, who was slightly dissatisfied, and when I tried to turn off the lights and sleep again, I suddenly told him as if Hapti remembered something.

"... ah, yeah. It's a little early, but I'll give it to you first."

"Yeah? What is this?"

"What a strangely designed necklace I was selling in a stall."

"... why did you give me that?"

Hapti gave me a subtle design necklace that, as she said, was strange… cool or cute, and the light she received leaned her neck strangely.

"It's Hikari's birthday tomorrow, right?That's why it's a present! "

"... did you remember..."

"I remember my friend's birthday."

Indeed Haptie knows the birthday of light.In other words, fitting the calendar of the world of light to the calendar of this world was something that Hapti heard about the birthday of light when we started traveling together.

"... ah, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Hapti laughs amusely at the thankful light.Then I had a little chat and went to sleep in preparation for tomorrow, turning off the lights.

By the time I entered the futon and closed my eyes, the feeling of loneliness that the light had somehow felt had vanished, and it was just full of warmth and kindness.

Hapti was the world's first friend to light and a very dear best friend who trusted him enough to utter a weak voice.

That's why the light shocked me so much when she... disappeared after the friendship treaty was signed.I never showed it in front of the surroundings, and I even made it look like "Haptie"... but it wasn't calm in my heart.

I thought he was an irreplaceable best friend.I felt certain friendship... and I thought that you would stay with me as usual.

But Haptie disappeared without telling him anything.I was filled with the desire to scream why.

While holding such a depressing feeling in his heart, he smiled on the surface, and the next day he decided that the light would take care of him in the presence of chrome ena and moved to his castle... suddenly a letter and a parcel arrived under the light.

I checked that it was written haptic in the sender's field and opened the letter in a hurry while the light mixed various emotions.

The letter states that Hapti belongs to the Phantom King and has come into contact with him to determine the light by order of the Phantom King.

It was Hapti's own will that decided to accompany him on the journey of light, only to determine the order of Phantom King.

The journey with the light was noisy and very enjoyable, and it was described in detail that I originally intended to leave after the demon king's crusade, but I went out with him until the signing of the Friendship Treaty.

The content was shocking, but what surprised me was... a feeling of relief.The letter described all the circumstances that Hapti had, and contained a sentence saying, "I want Ragna and Forth to keep quiet", so I understood that it was only revealed to the light.

And above all, it was true that the first contact was with the life of Phantom King, but I was saved by the words that it was her will that accompanied me on the subsequent journey.

And I'm really glad you told me everything...

At least I didn't feel the friendship I felt towards Hapti was a one-way memory...

It was a light that I was reading with the hope that the day would come when I would be able to reunite with my best friend while moisturizing my eyes with relief... but that was how serious it was.

By the way, I'm here looking for a treasure in a lost undersea city, but I found some disgusting color coral along the way, so I enclose it as a gift because my birthday of Hikari is near.I'll go back, but as far as I can tell, the treasure of this undersea city... "

Beyond that, there was a long story of treasure hunting spelled out... rather than the recent state of Hapti.And when I opened it with the parcel that had arrived with me, there was indeed a subtle color of coral inside.

"... somehow, it really seems... haptic."

After groaning with a slightly stunning expression, the light smiled on the shelf decorating the coral.At the end of Hapti's letter, she closed with another letter for Light's birthday, so she'll keep in touch.

At that time, I wondered if I would be enclosing a strange birthday present like this one... and when I thought about it, I naturally smiled.

In fact, after that, Haptie sent a letter and a parcel saying that the birthday of light was approaching.The letter basically talked about Hapti's behavior for a year... how the ancient takoyaki civilization was, what the burning kingdom once wanted to destroy, and so on.

And every time she found a strange item on the trip, it arrived as a gift.

Because Hapti's confidence was shifting everywhere, or the letter could not be replied to for a long time, but after a while, by using a magic box with the effect that Hapti accidentally acquired magic and transferred back to the person registered as the owner, I was able to write a reply by putting a letter in the box from the side of the light.

Then, about once a year, Hapti and Light wrote, and Hapti's wish lay down on Ragna and Forth, but only Light knew Hapti's survival.

After some talk, he dropped off Haptie, who took the happy people away because he was going to the Adventurers Guild, and then the light... Nein smiled.

"... I don't know, you were a dark kid."

"Yes, really... nothing has changed at all."

Nodded bitterly at Fear's words.Though letters were exchanged, face-to-face reunions have not taken place in a thousand years.Nevertheless, Hapti looked as light as she did yesterday, and that was what she looked like.

It was a really big harvest to see you this time.Thousands of years ago, the magic tools were still not widespread, so I couldn't do it... This time, we registered each other's magic tools in Hummingbird, so we can use Hummingbird to communicate with each other in the future.

And since Hapti, the demon tribe, didn't think it would be that long for a thousand years, Nein wanted Hapti to show his face a little bit more, and Hapti accepted.

Haptie has never broken a promise with Noine, so he will come and find time to see me in the future.

"... really... nothing has changed.He's a casual, free-spirited troublemaker like a cat, dirty for money... and a dear friend. "

"Really....."

Yes, nothing has really changed.Even now that I have been reunited for the first time in a thousand years, Noine has certainly... felt the same friendship with Hapti.

The unique shape of the pouch Hapti wore on her waist… it was pretty used up, and despite the many repairs she would have made, it was pretty beautiful to use it… in return for her birthday gift about a hundred years ago, which Neon gave with her letter.

A pouch specially tailored to Hapti's weapon… Hapti cherished it 100 years later and somehow felt friendly and thick haptic.

Again, thinking that it might be nice to give a new pouch, Nein... stared gently at the direction he had taken for the first time in the world and the difference between his best friends.
