I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace - Chapter 2228: Miyama Kaito’s Birthday Celebration Party ㉚
Electrone-san was certainly a unique person, but now the question is, what should I do next? At least the greetings and thanks, which were the main purpose, are done but……
『Feeling anxious, outputting request…… <Kaito-sama, I am fully aware of my rudeness, but there is something I would really like to ask. Would it be possible to take a little more time?> ……Of course, this unit will prioritize Kaito-sama’s convenience above all else.』
[Eh? Sure, that’s fine…… What is it?]
『I am deeply grateful for your generosity. Now, outputting request…… <Please, please, let’s take a picture…… in Kaito-sama’s world’s language…… yes! A cheki, please!!!>…… Request end.』
[……You want to take a picture together? Sure, no problem.]
In this case, the term “cheki” likely refers to something associated with idols, where it means taking a Polaroid-style photo together. As I thought, she really gives off a vibe of a high school girl chasing after idols when that switch of hers is flipped.
When the switch is on, her voice is bright, and her expressions change rapidly, but she immediately returns to a blank face afterward, making the contrast pretty intense.
『Outputting gratitude…… <Thank you very much! Now then, now then, I will move to your side!> ……Is this distance acceptable, Kaito-sama?』
[That’s fine. Errr, is that the camera floating over there?]
After I gave my approval, Electrone-san moved to my side, so I stood up from my chair to stand next to her.Then, one of those cat-eared devices that had been projecting holograms during the live performance appeared and floated in front of us.
『Outputting request…… <Kaito-sama! Let’s make a heart with our hands! To commemorate our meeting!!!> …I believe this is relatively popular for photo shoots on Earth.』
[Errr, so you mean we make a heart shape with our hands together, right? ……Like this?]
『Perfect. Now, we will begin the photo shoot. Please face forward. Hereafter, outputting emotions…… <Alright, I’m going to take the photo now! Smile!!! Say cheese!> ……Photo taken.』
It’s a scene that just popped into my mind, but it feels like one of those idol handshake events, where there’s a strange awkwardness to it. At least it seems like Electrone-san is happy, so that’s good……
[A- Ahaha, how should I say this…… It feels a bit like an idol handshake event, doesn’t it?]
『Affirming Kaito-sama’s statement…… <To me, Kaito-sama is like an idol, and my oshi! I’m a hard-core fan who really loves ya! Kyahh, I said it!> ……Continuing outputting emotions…… <That’s why I honestly would love to shake hands with you!> ……I would be deeply moved.』
[Eh? Ahh, should we shake hands too?]
『Outputting shock…… <Eh? A sudden fansa!? I’m so glad I came!! I’m so glad!!!> ……If Kaito-sama doesn’t mind, I would love to.』
[……Ah, yes.]
I couldn’t get used to the sudden changes in energy, but putting that thought aside, I extended my hand to shake hers. Well, I’m not really an idol or anything, so I’m not sure if this is what a handshake event is like but… I figured a normal handshake would be fine.
『Outputting emotions, outputting excitement, outputting delight…… <Ahhhhhhh…… The overwhelming admiration is too much, I can’t handle this much affection. The love is so blinding, I’m smittenly in love~~> ……A heartfelt thanks for the wonderful gesture.』
[I- I’m glad to hear you’re happy.]
For now, I think this person’s character is incredibly intense. No, it’s not that she’s a bad person though…… Just like Canalis-san said, she’s mindful of personal space, and there’s no sense of madness or anything.
But still, the intensity of her character is on a level that could rival someone like Makina-san.
『Though I truly regret it, I can’t take too much time. I will have to return soon.』
[Ah, you’re not joining the party?]
『………….』
[Whoa!?]
After the greeting was over, when I reflexively responded to Electrone-san’s statement that she was about to leave, her head suddenly twisted nearly 90 degrees with incredible speed.
It seemed like she was facing the direction of the commentator’s booth where Canalis-san and the others were……
[……Ah, errr…… what do you think, Kaito-sama? Would it be alright for Electrone to stay until the very end?]
[Yeah, I mean, I thought that was the plan.]
I never thought she would come from another world just for a short greeting and leave right away, but from the way things were going, it seemed like both Electrone-san and Canalis-san were planning to do just that.
After a brief silence, Canalis-san quietly spoke up.
[……Permission granted.]
『Outputting emotions…… <ALRIGHT!!! YAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!> ……Now, once again, until the end of the party, I am in your care.』
[Ah, yes. I’m also in your care……]
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai: [Is that alright? Like, is there someone out there doing some intense shadowboxing or something? Ah, right, just for context, in the language of oshikatsu culture…… “cheki” refers to an instantly developed two-shot photo, named after a well-known brand of instant cameras. As for the others…… “riako” means being seriously in love IRL. “Fansa” is short for fan service. “Shyuki” means “suki(like/love)”. Matched with “merori~~”, “meroi(smitten)” from “meromero”, it becomes “I love you so much I’m completely smitten”. Well, as long as you get the vibe, that should be enough to follow along.]
(T/N: Not sure if Kaito completely understood Electrone’s idol lingo, but it’s kinda hard to translate it to english, so I just made her meaning vague. Also, here are the ones with those vague meanings.
“I’m a hard-core fan who really loves ya!” = “Riako gachi-zei desu!”
Riako, as stated by S-Senpai, are situations where the fan is seriously falling in love with their oshi. gachi-zei are hard-core people who take their hobby very seriously. So, yeah.
“The love is so blinding, I’m smittenly in love~~” = “Jiai ga mabushikute shyuki merori~~”
Lingo already explained by S- Senpai.)
