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

Chapter 1713: Afternoon Founding Festival with Shallow Vernal ⑦

The trigger point goes back to just after the end of Harmonic Symphony. In a corner of the Southern Demon Realm, an area where the Dragon King’s subordinates often gather, there’s a stone tower often utilized by the Four Great Demon Dragons, the Dragon King’s Executives. Inside this tower, a humanized Nidzveld had placed a somewhat unusually shaped magic tool on the table.

[Unnn? What an oddly shaped magic tool.]

[Ahh, Fafnir huh…… This is a magic tool that can apparently store music, newly developed recently by the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company. It’s still in the prototype stage and is not yet on the market, but I asked for it, to which Tre gave this to me. I must thank her again.]

[When you say Tre, are you talking about Underworld King’s subordinate……? Are you close with her?]

[Ahh, no, I wouldn’t say I’m close with her, but it seems she’s a close friend of Agni, and she introduced me to her through her connection with her.]

While casually explaining to Fafnir who had approached her, Nidzveld activated the magic tool. Thereupon, a loud rock song resounded from the magic tool.

[It’s cleanly resounding…… However, I would have understood if it was Eingana, but have you always liked music that much?]

[No, it’s not about whether I liked it or not. Regardless of the form or circumstance, once I seek one’s guidance, it goes against my principles to put an end to things in a half-hearted state. At the very least, it would be polite to gain enough insight to satisfy Eingana to some extent.]

Nidzveld is a being filled with the desire to improve herself, and she has been trying to deepen her understanding of music to some extent, starting with the many things Eingana taught her about music at the Harmonic Symphony. Her currently listening to rock music is part of her studies.

[It’s just, unlike what I had listened to before back in the Harmonic Symphony, I prefer this genre called rock. I feel bad for Eingana even though she had taught me more about classical music but……]

[No, there’s no such thing as better or worse when it comes to music. I like rock music too.]

[So you’re here, Eingana…… It sure is unusual having all three of us here.]

When Nidzveld and Fafnir turned around in response to the voice they heard, there stood Eingana with a smile on her face. Her seemingly good mood might be attributed to her feeling joy about Nidzveld, her good friend, taking an interest in music.

[Nidzveld, I have a suggestion……]

[Unnn?]

[How about trying out actually playing music? Listening and learning is great, but actually playing and experiencing music in your hands is a great experience.]

[Fumu…… You have a point. Having knowledge of a subject is indeed important, but actually being able to put it into practice is also important huh……]

[Yes, that’s right! Since Nidzveld seems to like rock music, why don’t we play rock? There’s this band format called “three-piece-band”, so even the three of us can have quite an authentic performance.]

[Interesting.]

[……Unnn? Three of us?]

In response to Eingana’s words, Nidzveld nodded with enthusiasm, seemingly agreeing to the idea. On the other hand, Fafnir looked puzzled, seemingly having a bad feeling about something.

However, without noticing Fafnir’s situation, Nidzveld and Eingana’s conversation became more and more lively.

[Well then, I ask for your guidance, Eingana.]

[Yes, leave it to me. Starting out with the shape of our band is important, so let’s construct our band first! Nidzveld, it seems like an intense and vigorous musical performance would suit you, so how about playing the drums? The guitar, which is the axis of a melody line, is a bit more difficult, so I’ll take over playing it, alongside being the vocals of our band. And with Fafnir handling the bass, we can retain a sufficient form as a band.]

[……Wait, aren’t things quite strange here? You’re adding me as a member of that band as if it were the most obvious thing in the world…… I don’t remember agreeing to that……]

[Fufu, things are getting more intense. Learning something new and challenging oneself truly gets my blood boiling…… If we’re gonna do this, let’s go all out and give it our best!]

[Yes, you can count on me. I’ll make sure we can perform well enough that we won’t be embarrassed to show it anywhere soon.]

[……No, like I said, can’t you guys listen to me…… Oi!?]

And just like that, with the high-spirited Eingana and Nidzveld, a new band, “Dragon Soul”, was formed, and Fafnir, who had been completely dragged into it, had an indescribable expression on his face as he clutched his stomach.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [I never expected a Stomachache Warrior to be hiding in such a place……]
