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

Now then, even though I’ve finished receiving presents from my lovers, there are still plenty of other party guests left, so the gift-receiving is far from over.

Technically, once the hidden talent contest is over, I’ll be moving on to the "Infinite Gift Receiving Arc" using parallel worlds, but I need to make sure I keep accepting presents in the meantime……

<QUAKER GRANDIEREUS>

Oh, next is Grandiereus-san…… unn? Wait, Grandiereus-san…… doesn't seem to be here? I mean, even though this hall is pretty huge, it’d still be hard for someone like Grandiereus-san to fit in here, and there's no way I could miss them if they were actually present.

Maybe it’s one of those times where I have to go to them———- was what I was thinking when Ein-san showed up, bringing along…… a small-statured, sincere-looking shota.

[Yaa~ Kaito~ Congrats~!]

[……Eh? Errr, are you…… Grandiereus-san, by any chance?]

[That’s right~]

With a soft, floaty smile, Grandiereus-san looked to be about 130cm tall, probably shorter than Kuro or Alice, with fluffy, natural semi-curly light brown semi-short bobbed hair, an adorable boy…… or girl? Hard to tell. Either way, they appeared in the form of a child.

[Ahh~ Isn't this the first time~ I’ve shown this to you, Kaiito~? This is~ a special clone body~ that Magnawell-sama~ asked Shaltear-sama~ to make for me~]

[Ohh, so it’s the same type of clone body Magnawell-san uses. But still, that’s a very youthful look…… it’s hard to believe you’re the same person as the huge dragon I’ve seen before.]

Though their tone is still a little slow, it’s not nearly as drawn out as when he's in dragon form, so it's easier to understand. That super slow way of speaking might be due to the physical characteristics of their dragon body or vocal cords or something.

[Ahh~ When the clone was being made~ they asked me what kind of appearance I wanted~ and I said I wanted a small body~ so this is the result~]

[Unn? You wanted a small body?]

[Unn~ Normally I’m big, right~? I wanted to experience what it’s like being small~ The world looks fresh and it’s fun~ Other than that, I didn’t make any requests~ I’m~ the youngest of the Four Great Demon Dragons~, so maybe that’s why I ended up with a youthful look~?]

[I see.]

So Grandiereus-san is the youngest of the Four Great Demon Dragons…… though from my perspective, he's still probably ridiculously older than me. Still, I can see how their tone and appearance match up well.

[Anyway~ for your birthday present~ I wasn’t really sure what to give you~ so I brought a gemstone that forms on the back of my…… of my Hellground Dragon form~ Apparently it trades for a high price among Demons~]

[Thank you very much. The subdued color is really beautiful.]

What Grandiereus-san handed me was a beautiful gemstone that looked like amber. It probably was something valuable, but since I don’t know much about gems, I’ll have to ask someone later.

[……By the way, Grandiereus-san, I hope you don’t mind me asking, but…… what is your gender?]

[My gender~? Hmm~ It’s both~ and neither~]

[Unn?]

[There aren’t many Hellground Dragons~ so we have both male and female traits~ So~ you could say we’re both~ and we adjust our roles based on our mate~? But I’m~ way too big~ so I can’t reproduce with others of my kind~ As for this clone body~ well~]

The explanation that, due to their low population, Hellground Dragons possess both male and female traits in order to reproduce made perfect sense when I heard it. But when Grandiereus-san tried to explain the gender of the clone body…… they tilted their head in confusion.

[……For humans~ where do you look to figure out someone's gender~?]

[E- Errr, that's kind of a difficult thing for me to explain, or rather……]

[Really~? Then~ you should check it yourself, Kaito~]

[N- No, that's even more problematic……]

[Hmmm~? Then I guess~ I don’t really know the gender of this clone body~ I’ll ask Magnawell-sama about it later~]

[R- Right. That would be for the best……]

Whether they were a boy or a girl, it was difficult in many ways to determine the gender of someone with such a youthful and androgynously beautiful appearance. Grandiereus-san tilted their head curiously, but seemed to accept it for now.

Thinking about it, they’re originally a dragon, and due to their size, even using magic to take on human form was apparently difficult, so it’s only natural that there would be many things they don’t fully understand.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai: [Come to think of it, we didn’t really have a "trap" character huh…… Chris was more of a beauty in male attire, so she's a bit different……]
