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

I hear Nan whining in a vague way, and I get stiff as if the time had stopped, too.

"... why, Nan, give that name..."

……

Nan says nothing. Stiffening with eyes wide open, after a while...... tears in my eyes.

I was also surprised by the tears, but more than stunned by the words I went on to be told.

"... that I... 'hibis'..."

"... Huh? Yeah!?

Ku, Nan is Hibisu!? Oh no... no, but I'm definitely just about that age.

To be honest, I've always said about you, Hibis, that I was the first boy in person, so I assumed so... not many people are playing fake gender, like Necama and Nenabe, in online games.

"Nan... Hibisu?

"... no"

Nan nods in tears at my words, which he still asks half-heartedly.

... Coincidence is a really strange thing. No way, here, I wasn't even expecting to see you again at this time, Hibis.

No, four girls down there in the first place... I don't think they would have even talked if they hadn't been summoned to another world like this.

I happen to be caught up in a brave summons, there's a younger girl there, and that's the guy I met on the MMO who happens to be playing with tens of thousands of people, and he remembered me... I think that's enough to say it's a miracle already.

Kay, but what am I supposed to say? I always thought you were a boy, Hibis, but you're actually a girl, and now you've grown up fine and you're in front of me.

Nan closed his eyes for the first time when he was confused not knowing how to talk to me... the momentum jumped on me well.

"Mr. Shell!?

"Become!? Hey, ku. Nan!?

"Mr. Shell... you're Mr. Shell..."

"... yeah. Uh... Long time no see, huh?

"Huh!?

Nan, who jumped into my chest to see it, was shaking a little.

And in a tearful voice, over and over again... I call the character name I used to use on my MMO. Yeah, being called by that name is kind of embarrassing...

"... how come... you're not here..."

"Huh?"

"... me... all the time... all the time... lonely..."

"... Nan"

Me and you Hibis...... no, it's no exaggeration to say that Nan was always with you at MMO.

All I had to say was that I spoke up when I happened to be a beginner, but Nan missed me so much, he always spent most of his short login time with me.

When I told him I was retiring three years ago, he connected for hours, unusual, and spared me a goodbye.

Honestly, I felt like I had a brother, too, and it was my biggest remainder of retiring.

"... sorry, I took the exam just then... I used to lose my parents and take care of my relatives... I can't be a wanderer or anything to bother you..."

"... that's okay. I'm sorry... I'm the one who's talking like a child."

The biggest reason I retired from online gaming was because I took a college exam.

I washed my legs from online games to concentrate on my studies, thinking that if I wandered off, that would annoy my uncle and aunt.

And once I left, there was no incentive to go back inside... after all, I had never been back in that game before.

Nan said he still plays that game.

Maybe that's complacency... but maybe Nan... has been waiting for me to come back.

"... well, Nan was you, Hibisu"

"... Yes"

"... no, it's not like I've seen it before, and I've always mistaken you for a boy... you've grown up. It's good to see you again."

"... shell... me... me..."

Put your hands on the trembling Nan's head and stroke him as gently as possible.

Nan gave me an impressive look, finally overflowing a large tear from his eyes, strong enough to look at me.

Saying I'm being hugged by an adorable high school girl is a great situation... but here's an important issue.

It's not my room here, it's the boulevard... it's the boulevard.

In the middle of that boulevard, men and women hug each other, and women cry... even if I'm a passerby, I stop and see.

"Ku, Nan!? In the meantime, let's change places!

"Huh? Huh..."

Exposed to strange gaze from all directions, I decided to hurry and grab Nan's hand and leave the scene quickly.

Nan looked a little surprised, but he leaned down shyly without resisting or following me.

I reached a smaller square with few people and sat in line on the wooden bench that was provided... until it was good, what is it? It's so awkward.

Nan stays on his knees all the time, hands small and overlapping in front of his chest, messing with something.

The appearance was very cute, but the silence is very heavy because you don't talk about anything.

"Uh, Nan?

"Huh!? Ha, ha, yes!?

"... are you okay?

"So, yeah, I'm fine!?

When I never spoke up, Nan turned to me in a very hurry... when he and I met each other, he turned bright red and missed his face.

"... earlier, you said I knew... maybe you realized I was Shell?

"... No, I wasn't sure. But think about when Miyama retired from online gaming and the age difference with me, maybe..."

"It is. Sorry, I didn't realize..."

"No, I wasn't sure either. I also wondered if Shell was a character name from the same reading shellfish because his name is a pleasant person, but I wondered if it was too simple for a boulder..."

"... sorry for the simplicity"

"Huh? Oh, no, no! Didn't you make fun of Mr. Miyama?

Nan told me that the character name came from Zbari itself.

My real name is Happy Man, so I just replaced the happiness in it with shellfish...... yeah. Very embarrassing. It makes me feel like I'm being exposed to black history.

"... I, too, took my name... from the sunflower, Hibiscus, a flower of the Aoidae family. The internet says that I'm not what I am in real life..."

"Oh well... no, and there's such a thing as coincidence. I can't believe we're meeting again in this way."

"Yes, I was surprised too...... but more than that, I'm glad"

"... happy?

Nan lays down her face shyly again and squeals in a small voice.

Leaning his neck at the words, he glanced at me with his cheeks dyed and smiled like a scuffle.

"... I wish Miyama was Shell... because I thought..."

"Huh!?

Nan looks good by saying she's a beautiful girl without getting lost.

The words "Yamato stroke" go hand in hand with sarah, long glossy dark hair, and a well-postured spine to see if you are learning anything.

The way Nan flickers while illuminating, even if she is very cute and unconscious, heat builds up in her face.

"Oh, uh, Nana -" Aoi "- Huh?

"Please. What is Aoi... please call me by name. If you can, don't even put it on..."

"Uh, well... Aoi, or something?

"Yes!"

When I called her that, Nan...... Aoi smiled with a very happy smile.

Seeing that smile with a sense of straightforward trust, I realized once again that Aoi was Hibisu.

Somehow I remember the feeling of tickling, while I speak to Aoi in a little panic.

"Belle would be bored too, shall we go on a walk"

"Yes."

Following me up from the bench, Aoi also rises.

And I kept trying to get to Bell waiting a little further away...... they picked the hem of my clothes small.

That is never as strong as pulling hard, but a modest stop that gently touches... take it and I stop and turn towards Aoi.

"... Um"

"Yeah?"

"... Also, like this, can I come with you for a walk or something?

"Ugh, yeah. Of course I don't mind."

"... thank you. Again, thank you for your continued support." Mr. Fast Man "!

As if the stray cleared up, I smiled too when I saw Aoi smiling with a full face.

Dear Mother, Father - Aoi was actually a kid who used to play well with me on MMO and admire me. Even as I was surprised by a tremendous coincidence, it boiled down to my heart - an appreciation for the odd edge.
