I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)-Chapter 2055: Intermission: After the Ship Party ~ ~ Greene Edition ~ ~

Time rewinds to the day after the ship party hosted by Kaito. Greene, the leader of Scarlet Blue, who participated in the party as Kaito’s friend, was showing a necklace she won in the bingo tournament at the party to her two colleagues and fellow team members.

[Hawawawa, G- Greene…… T- This distinctive shine, could it be……?]

[Yes, that’s right…… it’s a Midnight Crystal necklace.]

[I- Is it the real thing? We’ve only seen it at exhibitions, so the possibility of it being a fake……]

If they were to buy it, the three commoners could hardly imagine how much such a beautiful necklace made from the highest quality gemstones would cost. So Greene, proudly displaying such an item, was met with expressions of envy and awe from the two.

[There’s a certificate of authenticity as well.]

[N- No way, isn't that unfair, Greene-chan!? You’re the only one with something like this…… How many high-ranking nobles did you meet at the venue!?]

[No, rather, to receive such a gift means…… Could it be, you're already set on marrying off to riches, Greene-san?]

Both of them, who also had a strong yearning for high society like Greene, were extremely envious of the necklace, and Greene wore a very satisfied expression in response to their gazes.

However, knowing they were having some misunderstanding, she opened her mouth to clarify.

[……No, this is a prize from bingo…… errr, from a mini-event at the party.]

[W- Wait, a mini-event with a grand prize of this class!?]

[Ah no, it wasn’t a grand prize but rather one of many prizes…… In fact, I won bingo quite late, so this item's ranking should be pretty low.]

[No way…… a prize of this rank just lying around like that……] frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

[If I may add…… Miyama-san was incredibly wealthy. To the extent that even I, someone quite assertive rising up in class, was completely intimidated and hesitant at such a lavish party.]

[ [ ……………………. ] ]

Sensing what seemed to be fear from Greene’s words, the two exchanged surprised looks. They both knew Greene’s personality and that she was particularly eager for high society, often being quite pushy about it.

Before attending the party, she had been determined to make acquaintances among the nobility, but a party that could intimidate someone like Greene was beyond what they could even imagine.

[However! I did manage to achieve solid results. Thanks to Miyama-san’s introduction…… I’ve met Her Grace, Duchess Lilia Albert!]

[Wha!? T- The one currently ranked first among the most influential nobles!?]

[Isn't that the great noble we admire……]

While that noble rankings they talked about were something that neither Anne nor Kaito understood well, the two obviously knew about it since they had been instrumental in creating the ranking along with Greene.

[Also, I’ll have the opportunity to attend a small-scale party again.]

[T- That is…… I- I'm so envious.]

[J- Just Greene-chan isn't fair…… If only I had spoken to him properly at the afterparty……]

As Greene had gained a foothold for a debut into high society, something they had been yearning for, it's no wonder that the two looked at Greene with genuine envy. To those two, Glenn smiled softly and spoke.

[……You two, don’t worry. You didn’t think I called you here just to brag about the necklace, did you?]

[Yes. I completely thought you were here just to brag, Greene-san.]

[Unn. Greene-chan would definitely do that……]

[……………….]

Greene, who had anticipated a response along the lines of "that’s not true" from the two, now felt awkward when she saw them nodding without hesitation.

[……I had asked for permission to bring you two along, and I got the okay but…… it seems it wasn’t necessary after all!!!]

[Ahh, it was just a joke! We're just fooling around, Greene-san! We totally trust you!]

[Yeah, we think Greene-chan is always a wonderful leader who cares about us!]

Hearing their refreshingly quick change in attitude, Greene really looked as if she wanted to complain but…… thinking she would definitely react the same way if she were in their position, it was difficult for her to voice any complaints.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……If these two mob characters make a reappearance, they’re going to get names and probably end up taking a stomachache punch without mercy……]
