I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (LN)
Volume 6 - CH 7
Under the faint light shining through the stained glass windows, the nun, who had been praying, slowly stood up. She then turned her head towards the other person who was standing nearby in the dimly lit room.
[……Is that so, Kuromu-sama finally had…… Thank you for telling me, “Hikari”.]
Hearing the gentle sound of her voice, the girl who was once called a Hero…… Neun’s expression hardened a bit.
[……Are you still not going to come back?]
[Sorry.]
[……You still haven’t finished atoning yet?]
[It still hasn’t ended…… No, it would never end. After all, this isn’t just atonement, it’s just self-gratification.]
Listening to the nun’s voice laced with sadness, yet no hesitation could be felt, Neun only lowered her head, not saying anything else. After a few moments of such silence, Neun turned on her heel and headed out of the church.
[……I’ll come back again, “Vier”.]
[Unnn, see you later, Hikari.]
Just as Neun said that while leaving the church without looking back, the nun….. Vier nodded with a thin smile on her face. Then, after looking over the back of the Hero with whom she had once crossed blades with, Vier turned her attention to the large amount of crosses that were pasted all over the walls of the church.
[……Miyama Kaito-kun huh…… He accomplished something I’m unable to do. The otherworlder who saved Kuromu-sama’s heart…… I wonder why? I’m feeling rather frustrated.]
As she thought of the person important to her whom she can’t see now, the girl who was once called the “Demon Lord” muttered to no one.
[But more than that…… I’d like to meet him at least once. I wonder what kind of child he was? If it’s someone Kuromu-sama likes, he must be very kind.]
After muttering that much, Vier shook her head, as if to shake off the doubts she had in mind, and once again kneeled down in a prayer. The person she wanted to meet…… He was a being that had accomplished the feat of saving Kuromueina, something that Vier couldn’t accomplish even after she had become the Demon Lord. He who has accomplished it, she who made a mistake and failed…… In a sense…… it may be inevitable that the two of them will eventually meet.

Afterword
For picking up the 6th Volume of “I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World is at Peace”, thank you very much. This time, the relationship between Kuro and Kaito, the main heroine of the story, developed…… This volume holds one of the biggest climaxes for the whole series.
As some of you might have guessed from their names, or rather, the abbreviated versions of their names, Kuro and Shiro are very closely related to each other. And these two are very important key figures for Kaito.
The “black of the beginning” that marked the beginning of Kaito’s story, Kuromueina.
The “white of the end” who professed herself the Last Boss of Kaito’s story, Shallow Vernal.
I’m not going to talk about spoiler stuff here, but each of them has a role to play in the future. If I were to touch upon something in the story, I guess it would be the revisions. I made a lot of revisions for this volume, and I’m going to mention some parts that are clearly different from the Web Novel.
First of all, there’s Illness, who appeared in Volume 4, but she’s actually a character whose existence was only faintly mentioned in the Web Novel, and didn’t appear until much later. And then, there’s Funf who appeared in this volume…… She still hasn’t even met Kaito in the Web Novel. I’ve personally been thinking a lot about her setting and I think she’d be a pretty good character, so I wanted to release her on the Web Novel as soon as possible, but I haven’t had a chance to do so yet. That’s why, since I’m already making revisions for the Light Novel, I decided to introduce Funf early. I’m planning to have a fair amount of appearances in the next volume and the ones beyond that, and I think her character design will probably appear in Volume 7, so I hope you’re looking forward to it.
And as many of you may have noticed, many of Kuro’s family had names related to numbers.
Starting with the German number 1, Ein…… followed by 4, Vier, 5, Funf, 6, Sechs, 8, Acht, and 9, Neun. Incidentally, Razelia is named after one of the 7 treasures, Lapis Lazuli, so she is number 7 of Kuro’s family. The number 2 and 3 of Kuro’s family were already prepared, so please wait for them to appear. Well, the one who had number 3 had actually been introduced already…… In the same way, Lilia’s family is based after flowers, though I can’t say that not all of them really are named after one, but well, this is just a small inside info.
Well, I’m seriously running out of things to write about in the afterword, and I’m struggling a lot with this right now. The afterword section would probably be the most difficult part to write in each volume.
Now then, thank you very much for reading this far. The next volume, Volume 7, will probably focus on Isis. Of course, there will be a lot of revisions from what was written in the Web Novel, and there will also be a story about Funf who didn’t appear in the Web Novel, so I hope that those who read the Web Novel will also enjoy it.
I’m looking forward to talking to you again in Volume 7’s Afterword.
