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

Chapter 279 - I was Surprised at Her Thanks at the End of our Date

Now then, I want to talk about what going on a date really is all about. I can’t exactly say that I’m an experienced guy, so I can only describe it in general terms……

Going on a date is generally with the opposite gender…… There are also some instances where it’s with the same gender but, it often involves eating out, shopping, sightseeing, going to the movies, or having fun in an amusement park together.

However, these are only processes, as the main purpose of the date will be to deepen your feelings and confirm your affection for each other.

In other words, you don’t have to go to the extremes for it to be called a great date, and even if it was for just short, it’s still unmistakably a date.

If you’re wondering why I’m suddenly thinking about this, it’s probably because of my current situation.

If the main purpose is to deepen our relationship with each other, I could definitely say that we’re currently on a date…… that’s only if I could say that though……

[Fuuuaaahhhh…]

[……Ummm, Fate-san? Isn’t it about time you move on your own?]

[I don’t wannnaaaaa~~]

[…………………..]

Pulling my date’s hand as she lazily slumps down on the cushion while moving…… The cushion is floating, so I don’t feel its weight when I’m pulling it, but it feels like I’m pulling a trolley.

Isn’t this the time when my heart should be skipping a beat because we’re holding hands, or perhaps, worrying about the other party’s walking pace…… I wonder why I don’t feel such things?

[……Umm, Fate-san? Why are you opening your mouth wide?]

[Feed meee~~]

[…………….]

[Whammm, Ahh~ Tasty~~]

Deciding that we would eat the food we saw at the stall, my date still kept lying down on the cushion, opened her mouth and asked me to feed her, while I just did so while making sure that it didn’t spill.

Isn’t this strange? This is that event where you go “Ahhn~~”, right? I was feeling so nervous when I did this with Isis-san before, but I can’t feel anything like at that time now, you know!?

[No, Fate-san…… As expected, you can’t drink while lying down, you know? Please get up already.]

[It’s alright, it’s alright, I’m manipulating fate to make sure that it doesn’t spill.]

[Can’t you exert that effort elsewhere!?]

In the end, she even tried drinking while lying down.

This is important, but since there’s no such thing as plastic bottles in this world, when I bought this drink, it was served in a thin wooden cup.

Well, I think that’s the reason, but drinks bought at stalls here are quite expensive compared to my previous world.

Anyway, even when drinking in such a cup, Fate-san is still lazily lying down…… Is this really a date? Not nursing or assisting, but seriously, a date?

[……Fate-san, this is a date, right?]

[Eh? That’s right~~]

[………………]

[Ahh~~ Errr……]

Seeing me muttered that while my shoulders slumped down, Fate-san had an unusually troubled look on her face.

Then, she finally raised her upper body…… and got off the cushion……. Eh? She got off her cushion?

[Well~~ I’m sorry. I got a little overzealous. Are you mad?]

[Eh? No, I’m not really mad……]

“Overzealous”? Eh? No, no matter how I looked at it, you were clearly slacking around, but that was you, being overzealous!?

In front of the surprised me, Fate-san nodded her head, as if she was convinced by something, before she squeezed my hand.

[It’s no good if it’s just me having fun, right~~ And thus, let’s start from square one!]

[Eh? Wait!? Fate-san!?]

[Then, once again, let’s go~~]

And then, she started walking while pulling me with tremendous force.

Unable to keep up with the situation, I followed Fate-san as she dragged the dumbfounded me along.

After telling me that she’s restarting our date back to square one, Fate-san put away her cushion somewhere and walked down the street while holding my hand.

How strange, just a few moments ago, I didn’t have any other way but to pull her hand in order to make Fate-san move, but when she said that she’s restarting our date and grasped my hand, I suddenly felt very embarrassed.

By the way, if the Supreme God Fate-san was walking with me, a mere mortal, there would be a big commotion, but Fate-san seems to have manipulated Fate to make herself unrecognizable to anyone as a Supreme God.

It’s similar to how Kuro used Recognition Inhibition Magic when we were on a date, and as long as it exists, the people of the city will only recognize Fate-san as an ordinary girl.

Kuro’s Recognition Inhibition Magic makes her be recognized by those she directly speaks to, but Fate-san’s manipulation of fate is like a higher version of this ability, since the other party won’t recognize Fate-san even if she directly speaks to her as long as Fate-san doesn’t allow it.

[Ohhh, Kai-chan, let’s eat that.]

[……What’s that? That absurdly big……]

[Eh? If I remember correctly, it’s a dish that was handed down from Kai-chan’s world…… That calamari rings!]

[That clearly looks different from the calamari rings I know……]

With a smile on her face, Fate-san pointed to a huge ring-shaped object that looked like it was as big as the roof of a house…… Apparently, that’s a calamari ring.

If that thing is a calamari ring, then the squid used on it probably isn’t calamari but some kind of monster like kraken. The food in this world really never ceases to amaze me.

When I ordered some servings of the calamari ring at a stall, it was cut into small pieces before handed to us…… Well, I knew it would be something like this considering its size, but I think it looks more like a fried calamari, not a calamari ring.

[Hnn~~ Delicious~~]

[Yes, they’re very delicious.]

[Ahh, that’s right! Kai-chan, Kai-chan!]

[Yes?]

[Here, ahhn~~]

[Mguff!?]

When I turned around when I was called, the next moment, Fate-san slammed the calamari in her hand into my mouth at great speed.

That’s a really fast “Ahhn~~” there. I was so shocked that I immediately threw my head back…… Unnn, as I thought, this kinda feels different.

[Ohh, let’s eat that too! Kai-chan!]

[Eh? Hey, wait……]

However, she isn’t entertaining my circumstances, as Fate-san rapidly pulled me again.

There probably aren’t many situations where the word “swept along” fits like this, and it’s making me feel troubled in a different way than when she was slacking off.

But well…… I guess it’s a good thing that Fate-san seems to be having fun……

I wonder how much time has passed, the dynamic Fate-san was incredibly energetic and she was already swinging me around.

I thought we were eating at food stalls, but she suddenly got interested in what seemed to be a play and headed that way, is what I thought, but she suddenly started talking about looking at clothes…… On the way, I just thought that I should stop caring and went along with the flow.

[Well~~ We’ve really enjoyed ourselves~~]

[……Huhh…… I- I guess so.]

[That was really fun~~]

As I sit on a bench in the plaza, completely exhausted, Fate-san took out her cushion again, with a really happy smile on her face.

I- I’m really tired…… Fate-san seemed to be having fun, and as I was swept around by the cheerful Fate-san, even though it was kind of a disaster, I really had fun.

[Hmm~~ It’s about time, so shall we go back?]

[Roger that.]

[Then, take me away~~]

[………………..]

Apparently, the energetic mode has completely ended, and as her Fate-san reddish-purple back twintails swayed, she called out to me like a spoiled child.

I’ve already given up when she’s acting lazy like this, so I let out another sigh before getting up and approaching Fate-san to pull her hand.

[Ahh, right, right, I almost forgot.]

[Eh?]

[This is my thanks for today…… Chuu~~]

[!? ]

[Fufufu, let’s go out again…… Okay?]

The moment I approached, Fate-san suddenly raised her upper body, muttering that she would thank me, and with swift movements, she kissed my cheek before moving back.

I was stunned by her sudden actions, but Fate-san returned back to slacking around on the cushion, not seeming to care about it.

No, looking closely…… It was just a slight, so slight that one wouldn’t have noticed it if they didn’t pay attention to it…… but I could certainly see a slight blush on her cheeks.

Dear Mom, Dad——— I don’t know if I should say that my date with Fate-san was really as I had expected or not, but I feel like I was really swept around today. However, it somehow seems like she’s enjoyed her time, so I’m glad. However, ummm—— I was surprised at the thanks at the end of our date.
