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

Chapter 1988: Canalis ⑤

For the sake of a smooth conversation, I decided it would be better to call Nebula, so I asked her to come to the reception room as well.

[You called for me, Milord?]

[Unn. I’d like you to sit in on this……]

[I see. It would certainly make things smoother with me here. Hello, Canalis-san. May I join you?]

[Yesh! Ah, yes. H- Hello, Nebula-san…… P- Please go ahead.]

[Hmmm. I would appreciate it if you could speak more naturally…… but I suppose we can have that as a goal for the future.]

[Urk, m- my apologies. I’m just relieved I managed to say your name without stuttering……]

Canalis-san's expression was as unchanging as ever, but her voice clearly betrayed her nervousness, almost as if she were in awe. From what I’d heard before, Nebula might have a higher standing than her in the past.

Well, Nebula didn’t seem bothered by it, smiling wryly, so I didn’t think there was any need to worry.

[T- That's right. I mean, Nebula-san…… you told Kaito-sama that you were a God?]

[Yes, Absolute that I am, I see no need to hide anything from Milord. I informed him ahead of time to avoid him feeling surprised later on.]

[I see, that's very much like you, Nebula-san…… but in that case, maybe I didn't need to force myself to address you with "-san" honorifics……]

[No, the current situation is different from before, and it’s appropriate to behave accordingly. I trust that you can adapt to that, Canalis-san.]

[N- Nebula-san…… Y- Yes! I'll do my best!]

Though Canalis-san's face remained expressionless, her voice was filled with emotion, showing just how much she respected Nebula.

Well, even now, Nebula is pretty amazing, and if she was much more powerful than in her current state, she must have been even more incredible before. So, Canalis-san’s reaction was understandable.

[But in any case, this does make things easier to discuss. Kaito-sama, I actually came here today with a rather presumptuous request. Tahaaa~~ I’m terribly sorry for being so bold! I was worrying about how to bring it up, but since you already know about Nebula’s situation, it’ll be quicker.]

[Unn? A request?]

[Umm, I'm aware it's a terribly impolite thing to ask, but…… Could I live in your home?]

[Eh? In my home?]

[Yes! I won’t be a bother at all, and if there’s no room, I can create a pocket dimension to live in, and I’ll pay rent!]

[I don't mind.]

[I completely understand if you want to say no, but I just……………………………… Unn? Ah~~ I'm sorry, Kaito-sama, was that an OK just now?]

[Eh? Ah, yes.]

Since I had no reason to refuse, and there were plenty of spare rooms, I didn’t think it would be an issue, but it seemed my easy approval caught Canalis-san off guard, and she asked again, confused.

[……No, no, let's think this through. I certainly am the one who requested you, but you should really consider it carefully! You can’t just let someone you’ve only met twice, who has a deadpan face and dead eyes, suddenly move into your house! You should be more cautious…… Not that I'd ever harm you, of course……]

Canalis-san’s reaction was surprisingly sensible for an Omnipotent God. Given the strong impressions Gods like Shiro-san and Makina-san had, the fact that she was so down-to-earth was a bit disorienting.

[Canalis-san, I believe Milord has taken into account that you and I are acquainted, but more than that, he has an exceptional eye for people. I'm certain that MIlord's response is based on his understanding that you are a person of strong virtue.]

[I- Is that so…… Kaito-sama, while I’m certainly grateful, please don’t feel like you have to be overly considerate. After all, this would mean a new resident in your home, so let’s make sure to thoroughly discuss and agree on the conditions. I’m more than willing to follow the rules of your household, so please don’t hesitate to say what’s necessary.]

[A- Alright. Well, let’s take our time and discuss the details.]

……No, seriously, Canalis-san is so reasonable that it's almost disorienting. But well, if it's Canalis-san, I don't think there will be any issues. Considering she's also familiar with Nebula, and her bright, approachable personality…… Once they get used to her unchanging expression, I’m sure everyone else will get along with her quickly.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Well, I can understand being surprised at how sensible she is when you compare her to Shiro and Makina. Also, an Omnipotent God just went to live in Kaito's house huh…… As expected of the Singularity.]
