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

After Alice and I made sense of each other, we chatted for a while in such a position as to hold Alice on her lap.

Turn one hand around Alice's waist sitting on my lap, the other hand joining Alice with her fingers tangled together.

Talking about no other love for a while as it was, it seems that at some point Alice fell asleep, and she heard a calm sleep.

I guess I fell asleep from dodgy tiredness when all the stuff I had stuck up was untied.

Instead of the spicy sleeping face with tears I saw a while ago, Alice now looked relieved and also seemed to have a small grin on her mouth.

It brings sweetness to me, Alice... until now, I've never been as sweet as a girl, even though I've said things to stir them up.

No matter how bright the surface is, I'm sure Alice's mind couldn't afford it at all.

So even if Alice wanted someone else, there was no room in the back of her mind for that person to enter, and that might have turned out to be the last big wall.

I think it might have been a good time. With Mr. Eden's appearance, a crack entered the wall that kept stuck, from which I could reach the back of Alice's mind... I feel that way.

And by revealing everything to me and turning into a lover, I guess I was able to make a good break for myself in the past, and Alice's mind would have something to spare.

So now you're putting yourself at ease with me. I think that's a real pleasure, and more importantly, I can't wait to love Alice.

I swore again, looking at Alice's face sleeping peacefully, that I would never let those spicy tears happen again.

Still, you look like you're sleeping nice... maybe you're having a good dream.

It was in an unpopular wooden building.

Seeing that familiar place, now only in the corner of his memory, Alice understands that this is a dream.

"... I miss you"

That's where important memories come from for her...... when I was an adventurer in combination with my best friend, I was a commonly used adventurer guild.

That place, like the integrated tavern and reception, makes Alice's heart feel calm, along with unspeakable nostalgia.

It was a somewhat clarity dream of consciousness, but this is how I can be seen thinking I miss the old scenery because the happy man took my heart...

Thinking that way, Alice's thought, which was looking indoors, stops looking at a certain table.

"... Huh?

A large indoor where I thought no one was. At that deepest table, one person sits with his back to Alice.

Next to that person, who looked no different in height than Alice, a semi-short hair in gray and black two-tone colors, was erected a huge pitch-black wand, which would be more than double his height.

I can't see my face just in hindsight, but there's no way Alice could have seen it wrong.

Because after that... she was the longest living person in the world she ever lived with.

"... it's been a long time, 'Alicia'... no, was it Alice now?

"... illi... s?

The girl looks back towards Alice with her familiar voice and smiles slightly.

Light-green beautiful eyes host a light that mixes the same sharpness and tenderness as old times, staring quietly at Alice.

"... Iris... Iris!!

"... Phew."

Oh, this is a dream. It can't be if it's not a dream...... but it didn't matter to Alice.

Reunion with my best friend who should be dead. As she was thrust into motion by its joy, Alice ran out toward Iris, and when she saw Sole, Iris stood up from her chair with a smile on her face… holding a pitch-black wand in her hand and 'swinging'.

"This...... crap!!

"Phew!?

And on Alice's face as she ran over, she slammed her wand into the counter feeling.

Blown to be punched back, Alice falls down as she knocks down a nearby table and wakes up her torso as she holds down her battered face.

Then, towards the fallen Alice, Illis approaches with a strong foothold.

"Yes, Iris? Suddenly what..."

"I thought it would take a while, but... it's too long! You idiot!!

"Ugh!? Hey, yo, Iris?

"Trouble with Uzi for tens of thousands of years! You don't have any gaps in your mind!! Whether it's 'get out and this is it' all the time thanks to you!!

"Huh? Uh, hey, what... this is a dream..."

Grabbed by the collar neck and shaken heavily...... Alice, scolded as she used to be, listens back uncomfortably to what Iris said.

Then Iris sighed heavily, taking his hand off Alice, then picked up the chair that was rolling nearby and opened his mouth as he sat on it.

"Oh, it must be a dream... especially when I'm having this conversation with you..."

"... Huh? Ugh, no..."

"Is that a lie? I told you, I was wondering if I could have a big idiot like you on my own... well, it took too long before I could talk like this as a result"

"... hey, why, how..."

Iris tells him that he is real, and Alice, stunned by the words, asks back what it means.

Illis must have definitely died. That's what Alice knew better than anyone.

But hearing such words, Iris continues his words with an invincible grin.

"Well, I can easily predict your actions. I've spent years researching it, but I can't help but think of a way to be as immortal as you."

"Oh, yeah. So Illis..."

"But I made one hypothesis in the process"

"... Huh?

"If it's my heart, I wonder if I can accommodate what I have to say with my soul..."

"Huh!?

Alice puts on a stunned look she can't tell several times about the words that Iris has told her.

"I could have expected you to take my heart into Hecaton Kale with my body, so I applied a sole on my death."

"... hey... why did you do that!?

"Why didn't you tell me? That's simple. I was stepping on the possibility, but there was no certainty... that every soul would transfer itself to its heart, that if it failed, it would definitely die... and that there would be no such thing as making me expect bad things, no such thing as cruelty."

……

"I was a bet in the first place, too. There's only one chance, and the only piece of heart that can take in another's heart is your hekatonkail as far as I know... it was an empty theory on the desk. But, well, this is how I succeeded safely..."

"... So... are you sure... you're a real Illis?

Listening to the words of Illis, Alice finally understands that the presence in front of her is her real best friend… her soul, and asks for confirmation with a trembling voice.

"... oh really... long time no see"

"Iris!!

"Wow!? Here, here, don't get stuck!?

"Iris! You're Iris... ugh, ahhh... I missed you! I missed you. Ooh!

"... ha, man, really... it's the one you can't afford"

He jumped on Iris to be bounced off, and against Alice, who shed a large tear, Iris whined like a shudder... his eyes were so sweet.

Stay put for a while... No, Alice, who has been crying for quite some time, slowly asks Ilis with a face up.

"... Ugh... why haven't you ever... talked to me? Me, me..."

"Why?... That would have been because your heart was full and there was no clearance for me to leave!?" "Huh!?

"If you'd just cut off my death, you'd have come out sooner... Uzi Uzi and how well..."

"Ah, ugh..."

The present iris resides in the heart. You can speak directly to Alice's heart, but you can hardly do anything else.

Until now, however, Alice's mind had built a wall that would not accept any externalities, and Iris could not speak to Alice either.

But this time, thanks to the Happy Man, Alice firmly divided the death of Iris, creating room in her heart... and thanks to this, Iris was able to reunite with Alice in the form of a dream.

"... to thank that man. Thanks to this, if it's time for your unconsciousness, we can have a conversation."

"... Ugh... Mr. Kite..."

"Say thank you directly to him... you know, dreams are short... it's time to wake up"

"... Huh? Ah!?"

When Illis tells her in a gentle tone, Alice realizes that her body is starting to become clear.

Dreams are not what you see all the time while you sleep. The time Alice and Iris can have a conversation cannot be said to be that long.

But this is not the last time...... Iris smiles calmly at Alice with an anxious look on her face.

"Don't be dramatic...... we can also talk about as much as we want. As long as you stay alive..."

"Ah... ugh, yeah!

"... again, in my dreams, I'll be about the person to talk to. If you're worried about something you won't do again, I'll scold you, so be prepared."

"... yeah... yeah"

See you again. Hearing that word filled with more hope than anything else, Alice nods again and again in tears.

And as I dropped Alice off waking up...... Ilis told her in a gentle voice.

"... Congratulations, Alice. Please, be happy... that's my new wish to see you again."
