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

Chapter 2018: Park Date ⑫

While enjoying wine paired with the course meal and having leisurely conversations, it was already dark by the time we left the restaurant.

Well, it was already evening when we arrived, so it’s no surprise that it’s already night by the time we depart. The luxury area has many beautiful buildings, and seeing the illuminated exteriors lit by Illumination Magic Tools gives the night a nice atmosphere.

[The night has completely fallen…… but it feels so bright around here that it doesn’t really feel like night.]

[This area uses high-quality Illumination Magic Toooooools, so the place is very briiiiiiight.]

Yes, the luxury area is very bright. It’s not blindingly bright; instead, it has a daylight-like brightness thanks to the Illumination Magic Tools installed here and there.

[However, you could clearly see the night sky, which creates a nice atmosphere.]

[Indeeeeeed. The clear night air feels pleasaaaaant.]

[While we're at it, shall we take a little detour and walk home?]

[Gladlyyyyy.]

In reality, my home is quite close to the luxury area…… In the first place, the location of Lilia-san’s mansion is in the area with lots of wealthy people, surrounded by the residences of high-ranking nobles from Counts to Marquisses.

Given that the luxury area caters to the wealthy, it's only natural that it's located near this affluent neighborhood. Today, as we're walking here on foot, the distance from our home isn’t too far, and we could easily head home whenever we wanted.

However, it felt a bit wasteful to just head straight home, so I decided to take a walk as a post-meal break. Well, since it’s still not too late, many shops are open, it's also a good opportunity for some window shopping.

[It feels nice to walk a different street we came through before. There are still quite a few shops open, so if there’s a place that catches your eye, shopping might be a good idea.”

[That’s truuuuue. Walking along this streeeeeet, we could see many stores selling daily necessitiiiiiiies, so we might find some good stuuuuuuff.]

[Ahh, I guess so. Do you perhaps buy daily necessities for Lilia-san’s mansion around here?]

[Some of them, yeeeeees. Howeveeeeeer, Millady has connections with trading companiiiiiiies, so many of our supplies are sourced through those connectioooooons.]

[Ahhh, I see…… Now that you mention it, I’ve seen delivery wagons at Lilia-san’s mansion from time to time.”]

It's something quite obvious, but since Lilia-san is a Duchess, the daily necessities used in her mansion are often of high quality. I thought they might be purchasing such items from the luxury area, but it seems they are brought in by the trading companies Lilia-san has connections with.

Well, since she mentioned that they buy some things around here, they might be picking up smaller items locally.

As I think about this, I try recalling the roads in this area in my mind. If we take a route through the area with shops and make a detour, we could stop by a park on the way home.

It’s not as large as that park in the luxury area, just a regular-sized park but…… would doing it there be alright? Actually, for my first date with Illness-san, I prepared a small gift, but I’ve been debating when to give it to her.

No, looking back, I realize that it would have been perfect to give it to her after our meal at the restaurant, but I was so nervous about the fine dining experience that I completely forgot.

So, I want to create a situation where it’s just the two of us, and that park is one option…… Well, it would also be fine to wait until we get home, but let's just decide based on how things turn out.

Serious-senpai : [Having Park Date is title fra…… What!? A new…… park…..? Also, that's quite an ominous statement…… a gift?]
