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

Alice's grocery store has recently increased her chances of coming. She sits in a chair in front of the counter and chats over a cup of tea that Alice brewed for her.

There are no other customers in this grocery store today compared to today. No, I feel like I'm really looking at other customers too much and coming to my friend's house rather than going to the store to shop.

This is how you prepare tea and chairs, and I don't think Alice hates you, okay?

When I looked inside the store while thinking about it, one product caught my eye.

”... it's kind of like a chessboard”

It's a chess board, isn't it?

"Huh? Is that so? There's a chess game in this world, too."

"Yes, it seems that one of the heroes of the past was very fond of things, so he made it himself and spread it." Well, in the end, it didn't become so popular, so I feel like people who know it know it. "

Huh ~

When I took the board while listening to Alice's explanation, I found that the pawn was very well made and the characters of this world were written, but it was no different from the game I knew.

It's a big deal, do you want to try it?

Huh? Is it okay? Is this a product?

"I don't have guests anyway ~. Alice-chan, I have a lot of free time."

"... hmm, then I'll refer to one game"

Honestly, I'm not very good at these board games. But it's just a game of leisure, and it's not serious, okay?

Besides, it's said that it's not very popular, and Alice won't be that strong, so it might be a good match.

Accepting Alice's suggestion, I put the chess board on the counter, faced Alice, and started pointing at it with my head.

The battle between Alice and me... was settled early.

"... I lost"

"... erm, well, you know, I'm not very good at this..." Let's point to another bureau too! Next is me, the flying car and the horns... and I don't use gold or silver! "

"... yes..."

To be honest, I was a pathetic loser myself. A, Alice is strong... she must have quite a bit of chess power.

Um, yeah. That's right... it was insane to point at someone like that without a hand. Next time, it looks like he's going to point at me with six sheets dropped, so I can do something about this...

While getting a flashy handkerchief, I pointed to the second round... but unfortunately, the second round was settled early.

Of course... it's my defeat.

"... I lost"

"... Mr. Kite... is weak... super weak." Well, somehow I'm so weak that I'm sorry, but what's going on? "

"No, no, I've always been weak in board games..."

"Oh, I see... well, then!" Next, I'll just take a step against the king! "

"... yes"

There was Alice, who increased her hand with a caring look, and I, who didn't feel like I could honestly win even under those conditions.

As a result, the premonition became real, and while pointing to several stations afterwards, the hand grew swollen.

After the ten drops that did not use anything but steps and the king, a hand that did not use my taken tokens was added... At last, Alice was able to compete against the king on her own.

It was a one-versus-twenty battle, and when I lost, I had no choice but to say that I was at a level where I couldn't help it anymore.

And now, in front of me, Alice was trembling like a warrior.

”... um, Ka, Kate-san?”

"... yes"

"I'm the monarch, but... how the hell am I supposed to do this anymore..."

"Honestly, I don't feel like I can win."

"... fuck you, I don't think I can let Kite win either"

……

……

A great deal of silence was flowing between me and Alice. Alice seemed to be puzzled by my weakness, wandering her gaze calmly.

"Well, well, that's it." There are some things humans don't like... oh, there's Riversi too! Let's do it this way! "

"... let's do that."

I didn't realize it until now, but maybe Alice is a good guy. That's why I don't make a fool of my chess skills, which would be inferior to elementary school students, but rather, I'm trying to follow them.

I really appreciate that feeling, and I like Alice more than ever. But, yeah, I'm sorry, Alice... Actually, I... I'm weak, too.

Reversi, not Chess, was trying to get me back on my feet... It was Alice who wanted to compete in Othello, but the result was still a tragic word.

After all, no matter how many times you do it, the board will be dyed one color faster than you fill all the squares...

I was aware that I was vulnerable to board games, but I got a little caught up in the boulders. Alice slapped me on the shoulder as I dropped my shoulder.

"... no, uh... the strength of the board game is of no use to me in life!" Never mind, there's no problem even if you're not strong enough to play like this! "

"Alice... you're a good woman, aren't you..."

"Oh, Keitaro-san? Your heart is dying, isn't it? Although it is a well-known fact that Alice-chan is a demonic woman who captivates the men of the world with transcendental pretty....."

"No, I didn't say that."

"Do you want to buy such a super cute Alice a delicious meal?" Yeah, I'm batchy! Speaking of which, there is a restaurant nearby that serves delicious food - Mi Gi

When I praised Alice for continuing to lose and follow me, I started to get on with it, so I dropped my finger and shut up.

"Really, if only I didn't have a place to fool around like this, I'd be a good guy..."

"You... for the time being, I'm glad you're feeling better."

"Alice... that's right, yeah. Thank you."

"You're right! Keep up the good work and praise Alice-chan!" I'm the praised and stretching type!

"... why are you so stupid?"

Even though I'm saying "praise", I'm still saying "praise"

Somehow, I felt Alice as usual, and my smile spilled out unexpectedly.

Yeah, maybe it goes well with him, after all. Kuro's intimacy feels different... like a bad friend. This relationship is quite pleasant.

"...... I'm hungry, do you want to go eat something?"

It's a feast!

"It's a premise to be expensive from the beginning... no, it's fine."

"Sakuto-san!" It's worth it! Nice, hold it! "

"... stop it, it's disgusting"

It doesn't mean you won't get hurt if you say anything.

It hasn't been that long since I've met her, but I'm really glad I met her and Alice.

There are noisy, bright, and hateful places, but he's a pretty nice guy... and he thinks it's fun to spend time together.

"... by the way, is the store okay?"

"...... I don't care about customers anyway."

"... certainly"

Somehow, I think we can continue to have a close relationship with Alice and laugh together.

I think it's probably because I like Alice somehow while complaining.

I'll definitely get on with it, so I won't tell you myself... but Alice is already a dear friend to me.
