Epilogue

As I stopped writing in my diary, I looked at the starry sky outside the window.

It’s been almost a month since I came to this world. Even though I had been rather confused in the beginning, I think I’ve gotten used to this world and I’ve been enjoying my life here a lot lately. There’s indeed the fact that I’m talking with Kuro every day, but I think I’m getting more fulfilled in other ways as well. Among the servants in Lilia-san’s mansion, there are those like Sieg-san that I get along well with, and it’s getting easier for me to spend time in the mansion. Sieg-san taught me how to make sweets and cook various dishes.

As for the problem regarding how I’ve got too much time on my hands, I’ve recently made a rather unusual friend named Alice, and there’s also Isis-san, with whom I can talk about books.

The Sacred Tree Festival, which I’ve been discussing with Lunamaria-san, will apparently be held soon, but we still need to consult Lilia-san about that. There’s also the matter regarding the calculator that I’ve requested from Kuro, so I probably need to talk to her about that too. I also wanna hang out again with Isis-san, and get my revenge match against the pro gamer Alice. Thinking about all of this, there are so many things I want to do, and I feel like I’m really fulfilled right now. It seems like a lie that just a month ago, I’ve been apathetic about my daily life.

Just as I was about to continue writing in my diary though, a blue magical bird appeared on my desk.

[……It’s from Isis-san.]

I’ve been communicating with Isis-san through Hummingbird, a magic that functions like mail. It seems that snail mails won’t reach where Isis-san lives, so it was inevitable that we communicate through this. When I lightly touched the hummingbird, blue letters appeared in midair.

“……Kaito…… Don’t stay…… up late…… too much…… Good night.”

Seeing Isis-san’s heartfelt message of concern for my health, which is very much like her, I couldn’t help but smile. I realized that such a trivial exchange makes me very happy. After seeing the message from the hummingbird, I also sent a “good night” to Isis-san and after adding a few more things in my diary, I went to sleep. I have a feeling that I’m going to have a good dream today.

Dear Mom, Dad———– A lot of things may have happened, but I’m living a very fulfilling life in this peaceful world.

(Volume 2 End)

Afterword

For picking up the 2nd Volume of “I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World is at Peace”, thank you very much. Even though I’ve already known of this as the Author, I couldn’t help but be happy that the second volume is released after the first one. In the 2nd Volume, the second of the Six Kings, Isis Remnant, has made her appearance. Incidentally, this character won first place in the popularity contest held on the Web Novel to celebrate the 1st anniversary of the series. She’s the type of character who will do anything for you, and she’s just so charming that she’s become the Author’s favorite character.

Speaking of which, three of the five characters who made their first appearance in the 2nd Volume were actually voted in the Top 10 in that popularity contest. The grocery store owner, Alice came in 2nd, beating out Kuromueina down to 3rd, and the Elf, Sieglinde, came in 7th. It seems like the popular characters with lots of fans have appeared here in the Volume 2…… I think that had pressured our illustrator, Ochau-sama, quite a bit. However, all of the character designs are wonderfully finished, and I can only thank them for that. Thank you very much.

Next, I’d like to introduce some of my favorite scenes from the 2nd Volume. The first one is that part where Kaito holds Isis’ hand. This is the scene where Kaito, who was able to change after meeting Kuro, challenged something for the first time. It’s also the scene where Kaito displays his mental strength for the first time, so it’s one of my favorite scenes within the series.

The second is the scene where Kaito is astounded at how useless of a human Alice was, but still takes care of her. Alice herself is a bundle of fun, and I like the way she interacts with the good-natured Kaito.

The third is the scene where Kaito gives Kuro homemade baby castellas. This story is actually a revision and isn’t available in the Web Novel. Heck, Kuro didn’t appear much around this part of the Web Novel, and she’s supposed to be the novel’s “Main Heroine (lol)”. Though it might sound like I’m tooting my own horn, the story of Kaito, who became aware of his love in Volume 1, trying his best for Kuro’s sake, is a good one.

When I list my favorite scenes this way, I think that even though he doesn’t have any special abilities, nor is he particularly strong or smart, nor does he have any special skills, Kaito really is the protagonist of the story.

The way he gets to know one cute girl after another and becomes friends with them makes me wish he’d just go explode while writing this series though……

I’ve rambled on for a while, but I’d like to end with a few words about the next volume. The 1st and 2nd Volume were set just within the Symphonia Kingdom, where Kaito’s range of movements is still relatively narrow. However, from the 3rd Volume, his range of movements will expand, and I think it will become more like another world.

I hope you look forward to the expansion of the world view, the characters within it, including the secret Kuro holds deep within her. Thank you very much for reading to the end.
