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

Chapter 431: Intermission: Lillywood Yggdrasil ~~ To the Ordinary and Special You ~~

The first time I met you, you weren’t anything special. I could understand that you were a kind-hearted person. I recognized you as a person with a strong heart. But still, you could be described as ordinary.

——–You were an ordinary being.

——–You were someone insignificant.

——–You were a child.

——–You weren’t anyone special. However……

The first time I heard of the existence of Miyama Kaito was from my precious family, my little sister, Isis’s mouth.

To be honest, even if it’s my family telling me about him, I couldn’t believe that someone like Kaito-san existed. There was no way that a being without strong power could resist Isis’ magic power of death. I thought that there was no way that someone as weak as him could hold her hand.

But then, I heard your name come out of the mouth of Kuromueina, who I consider my mother. I wonder what it was that I felt at that time? I think it was a mixture of anxiety and anticipation, as if an unknown entity had appeared.

It was in the Spirits’ Forest in the Human Realm that I first met the human named Miyama Kaito.

I am the oldest spirit in the world, and all the spirits existing in the world are my followers. From my point of view, the human being called Kaito-san was…… so anticlimactically “ordinary”.

You were but a young being who hadn’t lived even a few hundredth…… No, even a thousandth of my life, holding no great strength or magic power. A very ordinary person.

It seems like you’re able to use a rare magic called “Sympathy Magic”, but I could also use a magic like that. It wasn’t a particularly unique ability.

Although you were blessed by Shallow Vernal-sama, making you loved by nature…… Still, Kaito-san himself could be categorized as an ordinary human.

I’m not making fun of Kaito-san by any means. In fact, I had a very good impression of you when I talked to you.

I could tell that you had a gentle personality, and I also got a good impression that you cared about nature. However, I still couldn’t see why Isis and Kuromueina consider you as a special being.

However, you easily surpassed my imagination.

You were liked by the overbearing Megiddo, gained the interest of Magnawell, and even Shalltear…… recognized you as someone special.

You were certainly someone ordinary…… but you were still unafraid to challenge the extraordinary.

And then, you have dispelled the darkness in Kuromueina’s heart. You did what neither I nor the other members of the Six Kings could do, accomplishing it as if it was something so easy.

“It was truly amazing”, was what I thought.

……That’s right. I think by that time, I had begun to think of you as someone special.

Was it the atmosphere around you? If Isis’ magic power of death keeps others away, it’s as if the atmosphere around you attracts others.

You don’t fear me, one of the Six Kings, treating the Spirit of the World Tree…… A tree like me just like any other person.

There are two main types of emotions that are usually directed at me by people outside of my family. From the spirits, fairies, elves, and plants…… They who are connected to nature, they praise and believe in me as if I were a God.

The rest of the world treats me with awe as one of the Six Kings.

However, the emotions you directed towards me were neither of these. It was pure affection…… The kind of warmth you would feel for someone standing next to you.

It’s not that I didn’t like it. In fact, I felt happy instead…… However, how should I say this…… I still can’t seem to get used to it.

You’re not my family. You’re not my follower. Our race and age are different. You are supposed to be someone very distant towards me.

However, it’s quite strange. When I talk to you…… I feel as if the thought of you being by my side seems natural to me.

Perhaps, that gentle air that makes you so “special” is something that can only be understood by being around you.

When I’m talking to you, I feel as if it’s natural that I’m not the World King, but as Lillywood Yggdrasil, your equal.

I wonder what this is? This feeling…… It feels ticklish, but very pleasant. It’s not the same as the feeling I had when I was with my family or when I was talking with my friends…… Unfortunately, I can’t find the words to describe it well.

Though I say that, that doesn’t mean I’m in a hurry to find them. I don’t have any basis for this, but somehow…… I feel that if I stay with you from now on, I will be able to find the answer to this unfamiliar feeling.

I’m kind of really looking forward to knowing what this feeling is.

Oh my? It’s really strange. When was the last time I felt excited about the changing future? The longer I live, the more conservative I become towards change but……

Maybe you are helping me to do this without me even realizing it. To a future that makes me smile even more than now…… If that’s the case, are you special enough to bring change to others?

……No, I don’t need to think about that.

Whether you…… Kaito-san, are special or not, the feelings I have for you will not change. Kaito-san is kind and warm…… Someone special to me…… That’s enough for me. At least, for now that is……

I don’t have to think about anything else, I can just go back to my childlike innocence once in a while…… Just enjoying the time I spend together with you.

Kaito-san…… Objectively thinking, you aren’t so special. Yes, that’s if I look at you alone…… but, I’m sure that when you’re with someone, it is when your existence shines.

——–You were an ordinary being. However, both of your feet stand in an extraordinary position.

——–You were someone insignificant. However, you have accomplished significant things.

——–You were a child. However, you changed the things that hadn’t changed in many years.

——–You were an ordinary human, not anyone special.

——–However, because you didn’t stop right there……

——–I believe you have managed to become “special” to the extraordinary.

——–I love the special and ordinary you.

——–That’s why, from now on and forever…… Please continue to be the wonderful you.

Serious-senpai: [ You talk about it in a solemn way, but if you just read it carefully……. She’s acting all smitten from start to finish!!! The heck is this, a love letter? To sum it all up, “At first, I thought you were ordinary, but when I got to know you…… You’re wonderful! Embrace me!”, right!? Seriously, stop using all these techniques to sweeten things up when the protagonist isn’t even around…… Aren’t intermission chapters supposed to be serious!!!? You liaaaaaaar!!!]
