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

Totally at sunset, walk alongside Arisa on a path illuminated by street lights. It's a residential neighborhood a little off the boulevard, so it's barely crowded and so quiet that it doesn't seem like a city.

"Oh, I'm stronger than Mr. Hayato, and I don't have to bother sending me a stun gun of indescribable power to protect me, or weapons that legally suck."

"Too many scratches... well, still uniform"

I'm totally back to my usual, and I laugh bitterly at Arisa speaking in a relaxed tone.

"By the way, Mr. Fast Guy, don't you thirst for something? I'm thirsty."

"... no, you still had your reward for a delicious dinner"

"That's right, Mr. Fast Guy! You can tell the story."

Arisa said to give me a drink away, but as cheap as that is... rather than this was a classic flow in a way.

When Arisa comes to visit us and helps us with dinner, I walk her home every time. And on the road, Arisa said she was thirsty, and she bought a drink from a vending machine and chatted in a nearby park.

Same vending machine as usual, cafe ole for Arisa, I myself buy a can of micro sugar coffee and move to a small park with a bench and slide to my apologies.

And sit side by side on an old wooden bench and watch the sky together.

The sky with no bright urban stars in sight...... seems to be used to seeing and sipping warm can of coffee as the cold night breeze blows through the scenery feeling just a little lonely.

The hustle and noise on the boulevard just sounded slight from afar, otherwise in the air that could be called silence, Arisa opened her mouth with a potpout.

"... something good"

"Yeah?"

"No, somehow... I think it's fun every day. I've talked about things I don't care about for a long time, and I'm annoyed by crap, and while there's a little happiness and stuff, I'm surrounded by people I'm close to... I guess I'm happy about this."

"... right"

Indeed, Arisa is right, every day is really fulfilling. I think it's a really happy day to go to school talking about Arisa and no other love, talking wii to everyone in the lab... and making plans for each event.

"... Seniors... and Liddy will be in employment next year, and neither will we ever be college students. The environment will surely change, and the path may fall apart. It's something I don't know about earlier... but I hope these happy days will continue... nice"

"... Arisa is going to be a journalist."

"Whoa, the supermarket's missing. I'm a superjournalist. Well, it's like my dream to be a journalist, indeed, and I've been preparing for that. But that's something you don't know. I've been having a little different dreams lately."

"... different dreams?

I listen back with my neck clenched to the words of Arisa speaking in a gentle tone. Then Arisa smiled at me and opened her mouth again, glancing back into the night sky.

"... Looking at Minori, I don't know if it's a bad idea to be a full-time housewife. Well, look, I'm a super beautiful girl who can do the dishes and stuff perfectly, and I cook delicious food and wait for my husband to come home. I made lunches and stuff on holidays, went out with my favorite husband, and laughed a lot at each other... and I've recently come to think that's nice, too"

"... well"

"Well, it's time to go"

I told him so and got up off the bench, dumped an empty can in the trash and then fell in love with Arisa's face laughing. Somehow, strangely embarrassing... I have a self who is aware of Arisa.

Following Arisa, I also put an empty can in the trash and tried to make my way to the exit to the park... and I felt a small impact on my back.

"... fast man, don't look back and ask"

……

Arisa picked my clothes small and her heart pounded on the words she told me as she buried her face on my back.

"... I won't rush to reply. I mean, I still don't have the courage to hear back from you right now, so I'd appreciate it if you could come back later"

"... a veil?

"Well, think of it as a kind of job offer, or something like that. I won't rush you, I don't have a deadline...... one day, you know, the fast guy...... you can give me a 'permanent job proviso' and if you think so...... let me know. At that time, I will… choose that path."

That was a small voice, but it reached my ear with clarity. Of course, what the word could mean......

"... I think it's really good to meet a fast man"

"There is a veil..."

"Oh, haha, you said something weird. Sorry, come on, let's go!

"Ah, hey!

"Look, look, I'm leaving you."

Arisa cuts up the conversation somewhere in a hurry, tenses up in vain and walks fast in front of me. Looking at that little back, it came to my mind... it was unspeakable sadness.

Why not? I'm glad...... I'm supposed to...... why are you about to cry?

When Arisa just said, "I wish this day would last forever," I couldn't agree. "I feel the same way," one of those words never came out of my mouth.

I learned that feeling, like the other me in my heart screaming 'different' like that.

But what is it? Somehow... with her... "The Future of Making Arisa's New Dream Come True" doesn't come forever, such a sad certainty is in my heart. That's what saddens me, helplessly.

And then I look behind my back to be guided. Naturally there's no one there... but until now, I think someone's been there.

You helped me if I was in trouble and laughed with me if you enjoyed it... someone important... there was... there should be...

I can't help it. Anxiety and discomfort. I shook my head to shake it off, and I followed Arisa walking forward.
