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

Rasal Marfik…… Known as the Martyr of Death, she is feared even in the Demon Realm, standing alongside the Dark Forest's Monster, Tiamat.

However, unlike Tiamat, who possesses a peculiar fetish, Rasal is fundamentally an intellectual and composed individual……. Putting aside her frequent quarrels with Sirius, she interacts with others in a courteous manner.

So why is it that she's so feared…… Much of it stems from her appearance.

(……S-Scary…… W- What's with that giant coffin……. It's a coffin, right? Eh? What is she using it for? The only thing that comes to mind is putting corpses in it…… C- Could it be that she put the people she killed in there and took them back? Plus, her magic power is overwhelming. How is Kaito-kun able to talk to her so calmly……)

Watching Rasal converse with Kaito, Kaori couldn't help but think such things. Indeed, the first thing that draws attention to Rasal is the enormous coffin she carries on her back.

There is a reason she carries a coffin around though. As a necromancer, Rasal primarily uses the coffin as a medium to cast her magic. Items that evoke death make it easier to smoothly wield necromantic arts———- a practical justification.

Of course, given Rasal’s exceptional skill, she could easily perform magic without such a medium. However, as someone with a research-oriented mindset, she prioritizes efficiency.

Next comes the pitch-black robe she wears to conceal her face. This choice stems from personal taste and a desire to protect herself from contact with chemicals during her research…… Still, it just makes her look more dubious.

And above all, even though Kaito is unaffected and Rasal often forgets about it herself, her immense magical power, particularly her magic power of death, is enough to intimidate others.

The sheer pressure of magic power of a Peak Count-rank already overwhelms others…… but even among individuals, the pressure they exert differs. Many High-ranking Demons deliberately suppress their magic power to some degree.

For instance, beings like Lillywood and the Seven Princesses were subjects of worship in some regions, so they frequently interacted with weaker individuals and suppressed their magic power to avoid overwhelming them.

Similarly, the Ten Demons, who often engage in espionage or intelligence gathering, conceal their magic power to avoid detection.

On the other hand, most of the War King's Five Generals, except for Ozma, tend to exude significant magic power to assert their strength.

This line of thinking also goes with the Four Great Demon Dragons, as they often radiate tremendous magic power to establish authority among their subordinates.

As for Rasal, she does suppress her magic power to some extent but still maintain enough to ensure she is recognized as a powerful figure, so as not to undermine her King, Isis.

For ordinary people like Kaori or Eris, they could feel the overwhelming presence of her magic power…… but Kaori remained relatively composed.

(……Unn, but well…… It’s not as bad as War King-sama's…… No, maybe that’s a strange comparison but………)

Yes, having encountered Megiddo several times, someone who emits her terrifying magic power energy without restraint, Kaori was somewhat accustomed to Rasal's presence. Though she still found her appearance unsettling, she didn’t cower in fear.

When it came to Megiddo though, the overwhelming pressure had left her on the verge of tears during their initial encounter……

As Kaori was thinking about such things, Kaito glanced in her direction. Realizing that his look conveyed a question, whether he should introduce her to Rasal, to which Kaori quickly shook her head.

There might be opportunities for that later, but for now, Rasal had specifically requested to greet Eris, and Kaori hoped the interaction would remain limited to that…

[Oya? And those ladies over there? One of them is the Founder, yes. As for the otherworlder, I believe I caught a glimpse of her at the ship party?]

…….Of course, her hope was in vain. Rasal, noticing Kaito’s gaze, spoke up, and the conversation naturally shifted towards introductions. Resigned, Kaori let out a wry smile.

[Ah, she was a Hero Actor in the past……]

[I- I'm Mizuhara Kaori.]

[I see…… Thank you for the introduction. I am Rasal Marfik…… one of Death King Isis-sama’s subordinates. If you are a friend of Miyama Kaito-sama, I imagine we will meet again. It's a pleasure to meet you.]

[Ah, yes. It’s a pleasure to meet you.]

Though Rasal’s appearance was somewhat intimidating, her mannerisms were polite, allowing Kaori to return the greeting without issue, despite her nervousness.

As she reflected on how her circle of extraordinary acquaintances had grown ever since meeting Kaito, she gently rubbed her slightly aching stomach.

Serious-senpai : [If, hypothetically, they were to spend up to around ㊿ at Eris' shop, then change the subtitle and they continue the date from there…… It feels like there's still room for Eris to have at least one more stomachache……]
