I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 2422 - Spreading Aftermath ㉓

God Realm, Sanctuary, Life had been urgently summoned by Shallow Vernal. Upon appearing before her, Life knelt down and bowed her head.

After confirming her posture with a light nod, Shallow Vernal spoke in her usual calm tone.

[……You recently gave instructions concerning Baron Ritch of the Archlesia Empire, did you not? Regarding that matter, please ensure that golden ripples can also be harvested.]

[……Shallow Vernal-sama, forgive my ignorance, but what exactly are these golden ripples?]

[It’s a special kind of ripple, meant to be eaten with one’s most beloved. I want to eat it with Kaito-san…… I could create it myself, but I’d prefer to preserve the authenticity of it being a local specialty, so make it possible for them to be harvested in Baron Ritch’s territory. Rather than a detailed explanation, I’ll show you directly.]

As she said this, Shallow Vernal raised her finger, and an image appeared in Life’s mind, the conversation Shallow Vernal had just overheard between Kaito and Marie.

Through this, Life came to understand that the so-called golden ripple was an imaginary fruit created by nobles of the past for promotional purposes, and that Shallow Vernal wished to make that fictional fruit a reality.

[……I see. Understood. I shall make the necessary adjustments so that golden ripples can be harvested within Baron Ritch’s domain.]

[I’ll leave it to you.]

There was no issue with that request itself. In essence, the golden ripple was simply an exceptionally delicious variety of ripple, and making it possible to harvest such a fruit was an easy task for Life, the God of Life.

[By the way, Shallow Vernal-sama, may I ask one question?]

[You may.]

[……What is that island over there?]

After accepting Shallow Vernal’s request, Life took the opportunity to ask something that had piqued her curiosity since arriving in the Sanctuary. Near the Sanctuary floated an island in the sky, with several buildings of unfamiliar design, unlike anything monly seen in Trinia.

[That is an onsen town.]

[……Onsen town?]

[Yes. I promised Kaito-san a lovely-dovey onsen trip. However, since we’ve already gone to onsens together several times in the past, I wanted to add some variety, so I decided to create an entire onsen town. The one you see now is a direct copy of an onsen town from Earth God’s world. It would work fine as is, but since it’s a special lovey-dovey trip with Kaito-san, leaving it as a mere replica feels lacking, so I’m currently making adjustments to better suit this world.]

[I see…… Adjustments huh……]

Nodding as if in understanding, Life seemed to ponder something deeply. After a short silence, she bowed her head respectfully before speaking again.

[……Shallow Vernal-sama, if I may be so bold…… I wish to offer a personal opinion regarding the golden ripples.]

[You may. Speak.]

[Yes! Regarding the golden ripples…… what if we were to actually create ripples with a golden hue?]

[Fumu……]

[I am still inexperienced, but through the White God Festival and the events related to Miyama-san, I have broadened my knowledge somewhat. I have learned that the sense of uniqueness and rarity in an item’s appearance can enhance its value and set it apart from ordinary goods. Strictly speaking, golden ripples do not yet exist in this world, and from what I understand, they don’t necessarily have to look the same as normal ripples. Therefore, since this is a fruit meant for Shallow Vernal-sama to share with Miyama-san, I humbly propose making it a special fruit with an appearance worthy of that occasion.]

[I see…… A sense of visual uniqueness is indeed appealing. Very well, do it that way.]

[Yes!]

After hearing the word “adjustment” from Shallow Vernal and approving Life’s suggestion that the golden ripples should be made into a truly golden fruit in every sense of the word, Shallow Vernal fell silent for a moment before speaking again.

[……Not only its appearance, but also every other aspect of the golden ripple’s creation, I shall leave it entirely in your hands. You seem to have gained much knowledge and broadened your perspective, and the fact that you thought for yourself and offered your opinion to me shows growth. With the way you are now, I am certain you will create something that will satisfy me…… I’m counting on you, “Life”.]

[ ! ? ! ? ! ? ]

At that instant, Life felt a tremendous shock within her heart. Such overwhelming joy flooded her chest that she wondered if anything in existence could ever be more blissful; tears began streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks.

Struggling to suppress the joy that made her want to shout aloud, Life bowed deeply.

[Yes! I will, without fail, create something worthy of Shallow Vernal-sama’s expectations!!!]

When Shallow Vernal called her name, spoke to her with expectation, and entrusted her with a task, the impact was immense. In Life’s eyes burned a blazing determination.

……It was the very moment that God of Life, Life’s motivation towards creating the golden ripples surpassed its limits.

Serious-senpai : [No, you can’t do that…… If you say something like that, Life’s gonna get seriously fired up! The entire Ritch Barony’s gonna be in trouble!]
