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

Chapter 1715: Afternoon Founding Festival with Shallow Vernal ⑨

[Shiro-san, does Marine-san have some kind of connection with Eingana-san?]

[I dunno?]

The response I got from Shiro-san was a tilt of her head, showing her lack of interest in this matter. I should have known, I can’t imagine Shiro-san being interested in that type of information. Well, compared to before, Shiro-san seems to have a significantly broader range of interests, but when it comes to conflicts like that, it seems like she still has no interest as usual.

She was the wrong person to ask about this. Just as I was thinking about Alice again at a later date, Shiro-san moved her gaze and spoke.

[God of Life.]

[Hah!]

[Answer Kaito-san’s question.]

[Understood.]

She doesn’t know and isn’t interested in it, so she calls someone who seems to know…… A truly rational decision. It was a time like this when I really felt that Shiro-san had grown up, that she had gained more adaptability compared to before.

Putting that aside, it seems that Life-san will be answering my questions. I suppose Marine-san is probably a direct subordinate of Life-san, just like Sky-san and Gaia-san were.

[Life-san, I’m sorry for troubling you.]

[No, it’s no trouble. So, it was about the God of Ocean, wasn’t it…… She certainly has a strong rivalry with Great Sea Dragon. While they are both beings that have a deep connection with the sea, Great Sea Dragon is better known in terms of name recognition…… That child has an attention-seeking part in her, so she sees her as a rival.]

The term “Great Sea Dragon” is undoubtedly a reference to Eingana-san. And as most expected, she doesn’t like Eingana-san, who is treated like a Sea God in the Human Realm…… or rather, in Hydra Kingdom.

[How should I say this…… She definitely is excellent. She possesses formidable abilities, even among the High-ranking Gods. Her capabilities are outstanding, and there’s no shortfall in terms of skills and abilities…… She’s somewhat inferior to God of Sky or God of Earth, she almost has no opportunity to exercise her Authority due to the absence of seas in the God Realm, she has little interaction with the Human Realm because she’s a High-ranking God, making Great Sea Dragon more famous than her…… It seems there’s a part of her that doesn’t quite stand out, and perhaps that’s the reason for her strong desire to stand out and attract people’s attention.]

[Ahh~~ I see, that’s why she doesn’t like it when she sees Eingana-san, whom she feels rivalry, attracting so much attention……]

[Yes, she herself is aware that her resentment is unjustified, so she was keeping herself in check…… but then, there’s Great Sea Dragon. When it comes to matters related to the sea, she has a considerable amount of pride, so encounters between them often escalate into immediate and heated exchanges.

It seems I can picture the relationship between the two of them to some extent after Life-san’s explanation. For Marine-san, Eingana-san had a position somewhat similar to herself, being that she was the ruler of the Demon Realm’s seas, so she harbors envy and a sense of rivalry towards Eingana-san, who is also highly renowned.

And while Eingana-san is generally composed, when it comes to matters related to the sea, her pride is high, so encounters between them often escalate into quarrels. However, according to Life-san’s words, the both of them seem to be restraining themselves, making it more into verbal quarrels than a physical confrontation.

[Well, I guess you could say she’s an attention seeker, she’s someone who craves the spotlight. That’s probably why she changed her hair color.]

[Unnn? Did Marine-san change her hair color?]

[Yes, her natural hair color is dark blue…… However, having such hair apparently doesn’t allow her to stand out, so she went for a lighter blonde. Well, even though she’s like that, she’s undoubtedly among the most outstanding within the High-ranking Gods, and she properly exercises discretion, so there’s no tendency for her to let emotions run wild and go out of control. Even if Great Sea Dragon were to appear before her right now, her top priority is to support Shallow Vernal-sama, so she would likely ignore her.]

[I see……]

According to Fate-san, Life-san may appear easygoing at first glance, but when it comes to the rules and values of the God Realm, she’s quite strict, and among the three Supreme Gods, she was apparently the one strictest with her subordinates.

The fact that Life-san praises Marine-san’s qualities, other than her desire for attention, and seems to trust her suggests that Marine-san is in fact, quite excellent.

However, an attention seeker huh…… Well, I know this is something obvious, but different Gods sure have varying personalities.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [I see, so they have that kind of relationship huh……]

? ? ? : [Yes, as Life-san said, the person herself is aware that her envy towards Eingana-san is unjustified and she tries to suppress it…… but as was mentioned in Nidzveld-san’s past story, Eingana-san really asserts her dominance in anything related to the sea, so unless she has another priority like the current situation, where she has other priorities, the two encountering each other would almost certainly lead to a quarrel.]

Serious-senpai : [Come to think of it, Eingana was also beaten up by Nidzveld as a result of her saying “I’m the ruler of the Demon Realm’s seas”, making condescending remarks and asserting her dominance over Magnawell……]
