[And thus, the Hero has regained the hope she once lostā¦ā¦ Allās well that ends well. I guess you could say weāve reached a happy ending, right?]
In a blank white space that had nothing but a single black sphere floating in the air, the girl who is the master of this space muttered with a smile, looking rather happy. One of her wings, which seemed to be made of iron and gears, moved, and her rust-colored wavy hair swayed. Dressed in a white one-piece dress embroidered with geometric patterns and a dark brown cardigan, the 150cm tall beautiful girl with distinctive ārainbow-coloredā eyes began to talk to no oneās ears.
[Even so, itās troubling how much of a late bloomer you are, my best friend. Well, I guess that makes that poor drama worth itā¦ā¦ Good for youā¦ā¦ āAliciaā.]
After calling out Aliceās former name, something that should only be known to Kaito, the girl sent her gaze to the black sphere floating mid-air as she spun her words.
[Moreover, I never thought I would find āmy beloved childā here. This moment really was a great harvestā¦ā¦ Alice regained her former strength and even grew, and I have found my beloved child I have been looking forā¦ā¦ Everything indeed ended up with a wonderful result. Fufufu, I could even say everything is just perfect.]
After a big smile appeared on her face, the girl fell silent for a moment. And then, within that empty white space, she muttered.
[ā¦ā¦Unnn, itās really perfectā¦ā¦ Other than the fact that āI forgot to tellā Aliciaā that my true identity being āMakinaāā¦ā¦H- Hahahaā¦ā¦ Ah, what should I do?]
The smile she had on her face earlier disappeared, and the girlā¦ā¦ Makina looked troubled as her shoulders slumped in disappointment. Yes, the turn of events this time generally turned out as she had hoped. Just as she had promised before, she was able to successfully help Alice regain hope. She originally would have confessed that her true identity was Makina, apologized to Kaito who got involved in this situation, and that would have been the end of the story. However, the miscalculation Makina didnāt expectā¦ā¦ was that Kaito had the qualities she had always been seeking, āa child born in a world she had created who had turned their fangs on herā.
Even though it was by chance, finding the being she had been searching for so long and a clue to the problem her best friend had been facing made Makinaās tension reach its peak. Thereupon, being rather enthusiastic, she inadvertently introduced herself āwith the name she had thought of before coming to this worldā before she left that placeā¦ā¦ It was only after she left the two of them that she realized that she hadnāt told Alice her true identity.
[ā¦ā¦With how cool I looked as I left them, I canāt just go back and say āAhh, thereās actually something I forgot to say~~ā, and thatās just something I canāt do with my dignity as a Godā¦ā¦ Hmmm, since I planned to send a Paradise to Trinia to meet my child, I guess Iāll just tell her when I find the right timing.]
In the end, Makina decided that she would just reveal her true identity to Alice the next time they met, as she began to think about her next visit to Trinia. Incidentally, if her best friend Aliciaā¦ā¦ Alice had been there, what she would have said would be something like this.
āMakina sure is a bit of a ditz, forgetting something important. Sheās a scatterbrainā¦ā¦ so sheād probably forget about it again on her next visit.ā
(Volume 10 End)
Afterword
For picking up the 10 Volume of āI was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World is at Peaceā, thank you very much. This volume focuses on Alice, who is a very important character throughout the series. As I may have mentioned in an Afterword back then, Alice is a character I created with the image of āa protagonist of a previous seriesā. No, there really is no such series in which Alice is the main character, but this is just the direction of that character. In RPGs, sheās like the Hero who had already defeated the Demon Lord, or something along those lines.
In this volume, we learn about Aliceās past and the world she once saved to some extent, but thereās actually a hidden setting established about her world that hadnāt been talked about, which Iām bringing up here. In the world Alice lived in, the hidden setting established was about how she lived on a planet called āEarthā. As for what itās like, itās more fantasy-esque than the Earth Kaito lived inā¦ā¦ like the modern Japan we could think of. The reason Alice knows so much about Earth and Japan is because there are many similarities between the world she used to live in and the world Kaito used to live in. However, the similarities doesnāt mean that Alice lived in the same world as Kaito, as the two worlds they lived in are completely different.
In that case, why is that both worlds have a planet named Earth and similar civilizationsā¦ā¦ the cause of this is Makina, the main body of the God of Earth Eden. As mentioned in a previous volume and in Aliceās explanation in this volume, Makina once lived in the same world as Alice and met her there. When Makina created her own world, she remembered the memories she had of her best friend and created the solar system and Earth in the image of the world she used to live in.
Incidentally, the fact that Triniaās ingredients and materials include a mixture of items with names unique to Trinia, such as ripple fruits, and items with the same names as those of Earth, such as bell peppers, is also related to this setting. Alice, with her natural ability to manipulate information, has changed some of the ingredients and materials to names that sheās familiar with for her ease of understanding. However, for those that had names that had already been well-established to the minds of the populace, she saw no need to forcefully change them, and as a result, some items have the same name as those on Earth, while others do not.
ā¦ā¦Yes, itās totally not because Iām glossing over how I tried to give items names unique to Trinia to give it an otherworldly feeling, but later on stopped thinking of unique names because I thought it was too troublesome. Itās also not like I tried to come up with Triniaās own units of measurement for length and weight, and then decided to just use meters and grams because the calculations were too troublesome. No, sir. Totally not.
Anyhow, itās thanks to the readers who support us that we have reached this major 10th Volume milestone. Thank you very much.
I would be very happy if you would continue to support me in the future as well.
