I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace - Chapter 2546: A Conversation About the Tea Party ~ ~ The One with Stomachache ④ ~ ~

Guided by a member of the Crimson Fang, Eris made her way to the changing room. After receiving a brief explanation, she selected clothes in her size from those arranged by measurement and began to change.

The personal maid who had accompanied her was someone who took pride in maintaining the proper demeanor of a maid who remains in the background, and thus would almost never participate in such activities alongside her master.

If her master, Eris, wished it, she would engage in casual conversation or friendly exchanges, but otherwise she was the type to keep an appropriate distance and remain on standby. This time as well, she politely declined invitations from Kaito and the Dragon King’s subordinates, and was currently waiting in front of the changing room.

Since the outfit was meant for going out into the city and did not require assistance to change into, Eris herself showed no particular concern and calmly used a locker in the changing room to change on her own.

(……Not something that clings tightly to the skin, but rather a design with some room to it, made from materials with excellent elasticity and breathability…… It seems suited not for short bursts of intense activity like competitions, but for lighter exercise sustained over a certain period of time. It’s also quite easy to move in, and the lack of ornamentation actually makes it more suitable for athletic use. Overall, these are very good clothes.)

The outfit that had been prepared was a tracksuit inspired by Kaito’s descriptions, making it something rather unusual from Eris’s perspective.

Even so, she found it highly suitable for exercise, and with a somewhat impressed expression, she continued changing.

(There are long pants and ones that go above the knee…… perhaps the shorter ones are more suitable for more intense exercise? Since I won’t be doing anything that serious this time, and they expose more skin, I’ll go with the longer ones. If I were to wear the shorter ones, it might be best to prepare darker tights to reduce skin exposure.)

After finishing changing into the tracksuit, she tied her semi-long hair into a short ponytail so it wouldn’t get in the way. She then stored her removed clothes in a magic box before stepping out of the changing room to meet up with Kaito.

[My apologies. Have I kept you waiting?]

[No, I just got here myself. That hairstyle suits you too, Eris-san. Actually, you have this overall elegance, like you’re even wearing a tracksuit in a refined way. It’s kind of amazing.]

[Thank you for the compliment. Kaito-sama, your attire is also quite wonderful compared to your usual style. By the way, is this that so-called “tracksuit”? It’s my first time wearing one, but it’s very easy to move in.]

[In my world, people often wear those when exercising. Like you said, they’re easy to move in, so people who aren’t into fashion sometimes just wear them as everyday clothes too.]

[I see. That broadens my knowledge.]

Eris, who often appeared at social gatherings, was already accustomed to both giving and receiving compliments. She accepted Kaito’s praise with a smile, returned it in kind, and naturally kept the conversation flowing.

……To Kaito, that gave her the impression of being “easy to talk to”, and through the accumulation of such small details, it led to him wondering “Why does she seem to like me this much?”, tilting his head in confusion even as she enjoyed the benefits…… along with quite a lot of stomachaches…… However, expecting him to realize such a thing would be asking too much.

[Well then, you two, this way, please…… I’ll begin by giving you a brief tour of the facility.]

With those words, Namir began guiding them through the facility while offering light explanations, and Kaito and Eris followed behind her as they looked around.

For Kaito, many of the facilities resembled the gyms he was familiar with, so there was little novelty. For Eris, however, it was a rather curious sight, and she wore an expression of clear interest.

(……Aside from the magic tools in my household meant for light exercise, there are also quite expensive ones here capable of applying considerable load through magic. So it’s designed not just for light exercise, but also for fairly serious training. In that case, it’s likely aimed at a fairly broad range of people. Not just ordinary citizens, but perhaps even adventurers as well?)

Eris herself was quite sharp, and since she also managed several businesses, she found herself contemplating various possibilities as she observed the facility.

[……It seems quite a wide range of exercises can be performed here.]

[Yes, that’s correct. We’ve prepared equipment not only for light exercise suited to those unaccustomed to working out, but also for high-load training that would be difficult to do individually. Of course, everything is adjusted for Humans, so for Peerage Holders, it likely wouldn’t be sufficient for real training……]

[From what Frea-san mentioned, it sounds like you’re planning to build a gym where even more intense training can be done, depending on how things go?]

[Yes, that does seem to be my big sis’ intention, but…… her usual training is insanely extreme, so when she says “intense training”, she basically means something that would normally kill you, so adjusting that is proving quite difficult…… Ah, please keep what I said a secret from her.]

While answering Eris and Kaito’s questions, Namir continued guiding them through the facility, and after giving them a general tour, it was time to actually begin exercising.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [For even her subordinates to describe her training to be so harsh it feels downright insane…… well, I suppose that’s very much like Nidzveld……]

? ? ? : [She doesn’t force it on her subordinates and treats it as personal training…… so at least she’s kinder than that gorilla who ends up killing her people during training and just opts to revive them.]
