I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)-Chapter 1986: Canalis ③

I heard a shocking truth from Canalis-san, but even though Canalis-san travels to different worlds, it's not like the Gods who manage their own worlds can easily come here, so I probably don't need to think too deeply about it.

Makina-san is a special case, being the God from the world I originally came from and already knowing Shiro-san from before. If the World Creators fear Shiro-san, there's no way they'd come to this world just to see me, so I think things would probably be alright.

With those thoughts in mind, I arrived at the reception room and had Canalis-san sit down. At that moment, Illness-san came in with some tea, placing it and some snacks in front of both me and Canalis-san before leaving with a bow.

[……So, getting to the main point, what brings you here today, Canalis-san?]

[Well, the main reason is to formally introduce myself to you by my real name, Kaito-sama. Ahh, I know what Kaito-sama is thinking. You’re wondering why I introduced myself with a fake name at the party but used my real name the second time we met…… Well, to put it simply, I resolved the problem I was dealing with.]

[Problem?]

[Yes, that's right. Hmmm…… This might take a while, but do you mind if I talk about myself?]

[It's alright. I'm curious, and if Canalis-san is alright with it……]

As I suspected, Canalis-san is indeed a good person. Earlier, when she was about to talk about how I was being talked about among the Gods and how Shiro-san is feared, she made sure to check with me beforehand. Even now, she's confirming things before moving forward.

How should I say this…… Compared to other World Creators like Shiro-san and Makina-san, Canalis-san seems much more reasonable, not being forceful with his own thoughts at all. It’s easy to forget that she’s an Omnipotent God.

[As I mentioned earlier, I created a world once. But things didn’t go well, and due to various circumstances, my world faced a crisis of ruin…… Tahaa~~ I’m really sorry for my poor management! A God whom I deeply respected and admired saved my world by sacrificing herself. Well, she probably doesn’t think of it as a sacrifice, and she'd likely get mad if I said that, so let’s keep this between us……]

[S- Somehow, the scale of the story is immense right from the start.]

[Tahaa~~ As beautiful as I am, I still am an Omnipotent God, so you could say I'm a big deal of a woman. Ah, I'm not geographically big, okay? There are physically large World Creators, but I'm proud of my slender body. Oops, sorry, I got sidetracked.]

Her tone remains as humorous as before, and her voice is bright, but as usual, her expression doesn’t change at all, and there’s no light in her eyes. Somehow, though, I feel like I’m getting used to this atmosphere.

[Anyhow, to continue the story…… I ended up with a lot of regrets, a lot of self-loathing, and most importantly, I realized I wasn’t cut out to manage worlds. So, I asked a friendly World Creator to take over managing my world, and I became something of a wanderer, traveling from world to world. Tahaa~~ You could say I'm like the local hobo!]

[I see. I imagine you've been traveling in a span of time beyond my imagination.]

[Yes, I’ve traveled to many different worlds, so I know a bit about them. Well, putting aside my wandering tales, getting back to the main topic…… well, because of my self-loathing and those other feelings, I unconsciously avoided using my real name. Ah, and by the way, the muscles in my face quit on me after that incident too.]

She speaks in a cheerful tone, but her story is quite heavy. In short, she lost someone she respected dearly, and out of regret and self-loathing, she stopped using her real name and her expression became void.

[……Arehh? But since you introduced yourself with your real name this time, does that mean you had a change of heart?]

[That's right. Actually, the person I respected has been revived…… or rather, she has been reincarnated. Being able to reunite and talk with her has helped me come to terms with a lot of things.]

[I see…… Ah~~ Errr, sorry if I'm wrong, but could it be that you're someone who knew Nebula back when she was a God?]

[……………………That's strange. I thought this was a very delicate topic, so I tried to be quite vague about it…… In my mind, there's no way Kaito-sama should have been able to react as if you already knew about this…… Arehh?]

Though her expression didn’t change, Canalis-san tilted her head with a very puzzled tone.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Wait, he knew about that!? Ah, but I see…… Could it be…… With how much of an idiotic parent he is, I was thinking he might have been ignoring common sense when matters are related to Nebula, but if he knew that Nebula, a downgraded God she may be, was still a Quasi-Omnipotent one…… His reactions would be more like "If it's Nebula, she should be capable of something like that"……?]
