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

When my mother and father disappeared, a lavish door appeared in front of me. Does that mean we move on?

My mother said there's only one more trial, and I know it doesn't mean a goal by crooning this... but what kind of trial is waiting for me next?

Take a deep breath in front of the door, make a firm decision to be ready, then open the door.

"... what is this?

It was an open door with that in mind as to what tough trials awaited and how harsh a place to move to... the view I could see was... nothing like clapping it out.

There is just one path that leads straight ahead, everything else just leads the meadow to the other side of the horizon...

I went inside with my neck clenched and closed the door...... the door disappeared as if it had not existed from the beginning, all that remained was the blue sky and meadows, and one path.

Looking back, there are just meadows and paths just the same...... you mean go this way?

There were some doubts, but I decided to walk straight down the prepared path for now.

How long would you have walked? It looks like all the watches, clothes and other tools besides shoes were disappearing at the same time they entered this space, I don't know the time... I think 'a few hours' is walking.

My body isn't tired for that, so it doesn't seem to drain my strength in this space...... but yeah. You mean... this is the 'last trial'?

The scenery doesn't change a thing. A single path, a meadow with no rocks, no trees, a blue sky with no clouds or sun... a space where you have no idea how far, how long if you keep walking, the end will come.

I guess this space itself means a test given to me. What needs to be done is very simple...... you just have to keep walking down the main road.

But fulfill it. How many days is that? How many months? How many years? Keep walking with your body that doesn't tire you of it. Say, is it like root competition......

Superior. I'll hang out with you for years, even centuries.

I got so many warm thoughts... I got so much courage to share... so much love I couldn't hold... I got my back pushed so hard.

So, it's okay now... I'm sure.

My heart will never break again.

How many days would you have walked? No, I don't have a complete sense of time anymore, so maybe it's been a few months.

Somehow, I'm in a strange mood. Flesh does not tire in this space. I'm not hungry, and I'm not sleepy.

However, my legs can sometimes feel heavy from mental fatigue, so if I don't get back in the mood at that time, the pace will drop.

There's just no such thing as wonder and memory degradation. I can remember the conversation with Arisa and the others just now. Is it really a place where we literally only try to gain spiritual strength?

Well, anyway, I can't help but rush it. Only God knows when it will end...

"… for example, if the world is one story"

I had nothing to do but think while walking, so I decided to try and sing a song somehow. Mr. Ilnes taught me, and later I found out it was a cro song, 'Little Story'......

I like this song, and I feel like it matches the situation a little.

Walk, just keep walking even. I don't know how much this is already happening, but no doubt time will have passed on a year-by-year basis.

I feel like it's time for my song to come to a level where I can be told I'm good. But I still don't see the end of it on the road.

Maybe you're going the wrong way, or it won't be over forever, and such a weak idea comes to mind... yeah, well, that's it.

If humans lived, they would vomit weak sounds, and they would get lost. I think the question is what to do then.

No matter how far away, if this road leads to where the Clos are... my legs will never stop.

So walk...... even, keep walking down the same scenic path that follows. Everywhere, ever......

Somehow, I feel like continuing on the invisible path ahead is similar to life itself.

How many years would it have been? The feeling of time has disappeared long ago, so even if it feels like walking for decades, it may actually only be a year or so.

If so, is the end still there? But you don't feel mentally mature because of this space... no, well, it doesn't change when I say it doesn't change because I'm just walking in the end...

Hey, I thought you could feel calm and tannic like Mr. Osma, but you don't even feel that way. Is it a big life experience or something like that after all?

And when I keep walking like this endlessly...... vaguely, I think. How did everyone feel?

For example, Mr. Isis… has lived with great solitude the month of a thousand years since the Treaty of Friendship was concluded, although it would actually be longer.

For example, Cro… I don't know the actual age, but for tens of thousands of years he kept asking for what he wanted after birth.

For example, Alice... probably lived longer than Cro, her best friend's last wish on her chest.

Besides, how many months has Mr. Shiro lived? How many millions of years? Or how many trillions of years? Is it more than that?

Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of years...... if you just put it into words, it's so easy. But actually, if you think about it, that's really uninterrupted time.

How has everyone lived those long days? If it means you keep walking for a long time, I was wondering if you know what that feels like for a little while... Uh-huh.

In the end, life is different from each other, and it may be hard to understand how you feel in the true sense.

That's why I imagine. He wants to share some thoughts in order to lean a little closer to that other person......

Speaking of which, what did Mr. Shiro want to do after all? Erase my memory...... is that what Mr. Shiro wanted to do? No, I still feel like I'm gonna catch something.

Well, there's still going to be plenty of time... and I'll take this opportunity to think about it. The feeling of God who created the world...

I really don't know how many years I've been walking, but there's more to it than this being a trial.

The unchanging scenery, as I kept walking down the unchanging path...... I saw the sea of the world on the other side of the horizon.

And a white, long-haired woman is turning her back on this one and looking out at the sea. I smile a little when I see it and still keep walking without changing the speed at which I walk.

And after I reached just behind that back, I threw my voice with a smile.

"... unexpectedly, that was fast. Is this the goal?

……

"... uh, why do you have such a dissatisfied face?

Mr. Shiro, who looked back in response to my voice, somehow... his expression was expressionless, his cheeks were swelling, and it conveyed that he seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

"… let's answer in order. You're right, this is the goal. And I'm very unhappy."

"Is that because I've completed the trial?

"No. It's nice to get past the trials...... but I'm very dissatisfied with being 'almost completed in the shortest possible time'"

"Ugh, yeah?

It was the shortest and everything main road? When he strangled Mr. Shiro without knowing what he was going to say, Mr. Shiro continued his words somewhat dissatisfied.

"This trial is a long... unchanged path. It was a 'goal if you keep walking for 100 years', but if you stop on the way or deviate from a different path, each time we built it to 'explode in the years to the goal'"

"... Hmm"

"Then, if we stopped, we'd have a lot of weak noises coming up and we'd have trouble walking out again."

"... it's an awkward trial."

In other words, if you get weak or lost, it was built to fall into a vicious circle more and more.

"... Yet it was almost cleared in the shortest possible time. Rather than that, Happy Man never really stopped legging...... very dissatisfied"

"... uh, in the end, is it okay that I have completed the trial?

……

Many times I'm dissatisfied, I ask Shiro, who tells me in some obstinate tone, just a little shuddered. Then Mr. Shiro, after a little silence, sighed and nodded.

"... Yes. You have survived my four trials. Your... win."

When Mr. Shiro gently waved his finger after he told him so, a lavish door appeared right next to me.

"... I'm not saying I'm not dissatisfied. I wouldn't even say I don't regret it. Still...... it was brilliant. Hatsumomo Miyagi... You have indeed prevailed over God (me)."

……

After I told him that in a voice I felt lonely somewhere, Mr. Shiro smiled small.

"Come on, it's waking time. Tighten your chest and go back through the door. Waiting for your return, to your place..."

"... Yes"

I nodded at Mr. Shiro's words and put my hand on the door... so I remembered that I hadn't said what I had to say, and I looked back at Mr. Shiro and opened my mouth.

"... Mr. Shiro"

"What is it?

"Thank you"

……

Mr. Shiro opened his eyes only slightly to the words I had told him, and smiled kindly.

"... 'Were the words you once could not convey properly conveyed?

"Yes, thanks to Mr. Shiro... hold on"

"Then, more importantly,"

"Well then, Mr. Shiro... see you in the other world"

"Yes, Mr. Happy Man... may your future be a happy story..."
