CH 7

In the center of the God Realm where beautiful flowers bloom…… in the land known as the Sanctuary, the God of the world muttered to herself.

[The hands of the clock finally moved forward. I suppose there’s no turning back now. The doorway to the depths will appear before you whether you want it or not. Now then, what kind of choice will you make, Kaito-san?]

Her golden eye that see not only the world, but also the past and the future, look at the big situation that will unfold in the future. The God’s intonationless voice reverberated quietly in the Sanctuary, where no one but her was present.

[……Good grief, you’ve been calling me hardheaded, but I don’t think you’re any worse, Kuro.]

Speaking to them who aren’t here, the God thought of he who challenges and she who is about to be challenged.

[It feels a little complicated for me, but now, there’s no point in asking “who is the beginning”, right? As a result, the hands of the clock moved forward, and the Singularity named Miyama Kaito appeared in this world.]

There was a trace of sadness on her face, but there’s no one in this place to have seen this. The true meaning of the words of the God Shallow Vernal is still shrouded in mystery.

[Complaints…… Ahh, I see now, so this is what it feels to be frustrated huh. And yes, this should be that. This is…… the feeling of “jealousy”. It’s troublesome and unbearable. I’m the one who created this world, and yet the world doesn’t work the way I want it to.]

Perhaps, if anyone had heard those words, they would have immediately noticed the anomaly. They would have been astonished at the change that came to the being known as Shallow Vernal……

But fortunately or unfortunately, no one has heard her words. Thus, Shallow Vernal covered her emotions under a lid and decided that she didn’t need them right now.

[……I suppose it can’t be helped. If this is what you wish…… If only for a little bit, I’ll help you.]

Thinking of a person in mind, the Absolute God smiled slightly. Even when she speaks out complaints, talking about how this isn’t the way she wanted things to go…… Shallow Vernal reached out her hands to him.

[……You who I had been waiting for, my beloved Miyama Kaito, “my singularity”…… Please show me more. Show me the true value of your existence, sparkle like the brightest stars.]

As her silvery-white hair swayed in the slight breeze, the God who created the world declared.

[……I pray that you will be able to grasp the happy ending of your story……]

Her voice was too affectionate, but at the same time…… terribly sad.

(Volume 5 End)

Afterword

For picking up the 5th Volume of “I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World is at Peace”, thank you very much. Now then, I can’t think of what to write here anymore. I wonder how the other authors think about all that stuff they write in the afterword? I’m curious.

Now that that’s out of the way, I’d like to talk about the contents of this volume. Alice is the main focus in this volume, and her true identity has finally been revealed. I’m sure there are many people who have expected, especially those who have read the Web Novel, but she’s the Phantasmal King No Face. Alice is a comical and fun character, and as the author…… I think she’s an easy to handle character. She’s a versatile character who can handle both comedic and serious situations, so she can be easily deployed in any situation, making her very useful. She’s very much a heroine to Kaito, a good friend he could trust, a bad friend he can joke around with, you could say she has a unique position in the world.

What I’m about to say here was more of an inside story, but the fact is that Alice was created before Kuro, the protagonist’s main heroine. In fact, Alice would actually be the protagonist of the story I’m thinking of writing after “I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World is at Peace”. If you’ve read the Web Novel, you may have read about this in the Afterwords, but due to such a circumstance, Alice has the aspect of “being a protagonist in another novel”. She’s like a Hero who defeated the Demon Lord, or perhaps, you could say she’s a character who has already finished her own adventure. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to write about this, but this series has turned out to be longer than I had originally anticipated…… but I’d certainly like to write about Alice’s adventures before she met Kaito in my next novel.

I’ve already talked a little about Magnawell, so I’d like to talk about the new characters, Pandora and Life.

Well, as for Pandora…… Even though I’m the author of this novel, I don’t know how the heck I managed to make her so perverted, and I think her momentum at that scene was quite terrifying. In fact, she was supposed to be a more decent character, although she may have an overwhelmingly high loyalty……

As for Life, she’s the last Supreme God who appeared later than the other two. She’s the God who governs life, having the power to even resurrect the dead and the authority to govern those with life. Her breast size is the largest in the series, comparable with Lillywood. She appears to be a gentle, elder sister-type beauty, but she’s also rather black-hearted.

Regarding Pandora and Life, this volume is almost like an introduction to them, and I won’t be able to write more about them until later, so I hope you’ll look forward to it.

Thank you very much for reading this far, and I hope to see you again in Volume 6’s Afterword.
