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

Chapter 1614: A Reward for Lilia ⑦

[The initial settings seem to be like this. However, by operating this, I can change it in various ways……]

When Lilia-san moved her hand, a sci-fi-like control panel appeared in the air. That looks interesting. Is that some sort of authority that Lilia-san, the owner of this world, can exercise?

The format may be a little different, but it’s somewhat similar to the control panel in the VR back home, so Lilia-san is familiar with how to operate it.

[And in this world, Eden-sama had them prepared for me. They’re apparently models of otherworld dragons. I haven’t had a chance to take a good look at them yet, but this is a wonderful place with so many unknown dragons.]

[Heehhh…… Otherworld dragons huh. Sounds interesting. I’m curious to see what kind of dragons they are.]

[I knew Kaito-san would say that. To rest one’s heart, spending time looking at things I love, to…… to…… t- to……]

[To?]

[……Together with…… ummm…… Together with the person I love, on a date…… is what I was thinking…… I- I’m in your care.]

[I see, now that you mentioned it…… I’ve also been tired for quite a long time myself, so I guess this is a good time to take some rest.]

Seeing Lilia-san, who even though she’s a bit embarrassed, saying that spending time looking at things she loves with the person she loves puts her heart at ease, I can’t help smiling at her cuteness.

When we went to the Dragon Carnival together before, she had been really excited, and since I already know that Lilia-san loves dragons, it seems like her thoughts have instead led her more into wanting to enjoy things together with me. Of course, that is something I’m very happy about.

[Then, let’s go right away.]

[Ah, yes. Let’s go!]

[Ahh, wait, that’s right. Lilia-san, since we’re at it, can we hold hands?]

[Eh? Ah, yes. Here you go……]

When I suggested so, Lilia-san shyly held out her hand. Thereupon, holding her hand with our fingers entwining with each other, we moved through a special means of teleportation under the operation of Lilia-san.

The place we arrived at after teleporting was, how should I say this…… It was like a huge building of the modern era. It looked like a warehouse and had no decoration at all, but it had quite the outrageous size, seemingly at least 100 meters high. As for how wide it was though, it was hard to tell how vast it was at a glance.

[……This place’s huge.]

[Other worlds must have lots of Colossal-type Dragons after all. From what Eden-sama explained to me, there are apparently hundreds of these storage-like structures in existence here.]

[Eh? There are hundreds of buildings this size? That’s kinda amazing…… Ahh, but if this world really has life-sized models of all Dragons in several worlds, I guess you would need that much huh.]

The world Shiro-san created, Trinia, was apparently quite small for a world. On the other hand, Eden-san’s world, including the universe our planet was in, is extremely vast, and just collecting all the creatures that resemble dragons would make her gather quite the amount. Since the size of each world is quite different, I think there must be a considerable number of models here.

As I was thinking about this, Lilia-san and I approached the entrance of the building and found what seemed to be an explanatory sign next to the entrance.

[……Let’s see…… Gathered inside this storage unit are beings that have evolved through the fusion of machinery and organic beings, creatures that inhabit stars and are classified as dragons…… Heehhh…… Are they gonna be robotic dragons?]

[When you say mashineri, is it like the cars we rode in that virtual space before? For that to be fused with dragons…… Iron Dragons?]

[Well, let’s just go inside and see.]

[Right. Let’s go in.]

Lilia nodded happily at my words and touched the door, to which the huge door soundlessly slid open, letting us in.

Once inside, the room was quite bright. I don’t understand how it works, but the world itself has many mysterious features due to God’s power, so I’ll decide not to worry about it.

[Hawawawa…… A- Amazing! So cool……]

Inside the storage room, as explained in the explanatory sign outside, were dragons evolved by merging with machinery. There was a lineup of dragons that looked straight out of mecha anime.

Some were made entirely of machines, while others had only parts of their bodies made of machines. In front of each of the huge models was an explanatory sign, which seemed to describe the details of the dragon it was in front of.

From what I see, this place includes not only the latest forms of the dragons, as I could also see several dragon models seemingly in the midst of evolving along with the progress of technology. It was as if the entire history of these dragons on the planet they lived in was depicted here.

I suppose I should say it’s as to be expected of Eden-san, when she actually does something, its scale would be grand. And for Lilia-san, it seems this is truly a meaningful gift, as she had this childlike sparkle in her eyes, which was truly striking and adorable.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [C- Calm down…… This is just a junction point, Kaito…… Listen here, okay? You are to just go about that world tourist-style, giving out more explanations to the dragons from other worlds. Even if you make some mistakes here or there, what you shouldn’t do is shift the focus away from dragons and end up having the date as your main priority…… You understand!?]
