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

The castle of the Death King, Isis Remnant, Land of Death, Demon Realm…… While it is well known that Isis' castle exists in the Land of Death, few have actually visited it.

This is partly because the Land of Death itself is an extremely cold and harsh environment, a place where even monsters and animals avoid due to their fear of the magic power of death. However, another significant reason is that, in the past, Isis unconsciously exuded an intimidating presence, making it rare for even high-ranking noble demons or the Six Kings' executives to visit her castle.

Being one of the World King's Executives, Jutia had spoken with Isis several times before, but this was her first time visiting the castle.

[……Welcome…… Jutia.]

[Thank you for inviting me today, Isis-sama. I must say, I’m a bit surprised that you came to greet me in person.]

[……Everyone has been preparing for the tea party…… and since the only ones I invited this time are Ein, Kuromueina, and you…… so I decided to come greet you myself.]

[I see. Ah, I also brought some Fruits of the Spirit Tree as a gift. Please feel free to share it with your subordinates.]

[……Thank you…… This makes me happy.]

Jutia smiled as she spoke with Isis, who had come to welcome her, and handed over the gift she had brought. After giving her the Fruits of the Spirit Tree, Jutia used Space-Time Magic to retrieve something else.

It was a basket filled with colorful flowers, an arrangement made as interior decor.

[Oh, and also, and also, this is something my Claire and Bella insisted I bring for you, Isis-sama. They made it as an interior decoration. Apparently, they were really grateful for how kind you were to them during the celebration after the Harmonic Symphony.]

[……Those two? ……I see…… What beautiful flowers…… I had a great time back then too…… I should find a way to thank them……]

[If that’s the case, please feel free to reach out to them anytime. They both said they’d love to talk with you again……]

[……Then maybe next time…… I could invite them…… to a tea party?]

[Yes, I’m sure they’d be delighted.]

[……I see…… Unn…… I’m looking forward to it.]

Isis remembered Claire and Bella well. They were two of the World King's subordinates who had approached her during the tea party celebrating the Harmonic Symphony, and she recalled having a pleasant conversation with them.

Now that she no longer exuded an intimidating presence as she once did, her naturally kind-hearted personality had come to the forefront. For Claire and Bella, their conversation with Isis had been a truly enjoyable memory. When they heard that Jutia was visiting Isis’ castle, they had looked envious and entrusted her with a gift for Isis. If Isis were to invite them to a tea party, they would surely accept with joy.

After smiling happily at Jutia's words, Isis guided her to the terrace where the tea party was to be held.

[Oh my, oh my…… I’ve heard rumors, but I see a whole field of Blue Crystal Flowers. Hmmm, they match so, so well with the snowy landscape of the Land of Death.]

[I’m glad you think so~~ Nice to meet you! I’m the Spirit of the Blue Crystal Flowers, Spica.]

[Nice to meet you. I’m Jutia, the Great Spirit of the Spirit Tree and dependent of the World King Lillywood-sama. Pleased to meet you. I’ve heard about you, I’ve heard about you, from Lillywood-sama. I’m really happy to finally meet you.]

[Yup~~ I'm happy to meet you too!]

The terrace was not the same location as the future tea party venue, but from here, one could still see the Blue Crystal Flower field. As Jutia admired the flowers, Spica approached her and gave a brief introduction.

[……Spica…… can I ask you…… to guide Jutia? ……I need to…… go welcome Kuromueina.]

[Yup~~ Leave it to me.]

[……Thank you…… I’m counting on you.]

Among the invited guests for the tea party, Ein had arrived earlier since she was in charge of brewing tea. At the moment, she was assisting Iris with making teacakes.

Kuromueina, on the other hand, had some tasks to complete before coming, making her the last of the invited members expected to arrive.

Since it was about time for Kuromueina to arrive, Isis entrusted Jutia's guidance to Spica and made her way toward the castle entrance.

On the way, she stopped by a room where she kept her treasured mementos, casting State Preservation Magic on the interior decoration made by Claire and Bella and displaying it in a visible spot. Then, with a joyful smile still on her face, she continued on to welcome Kuromueina.
