I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace
Chapter Summary
][……I feel like Kaito’s house has a bigger entrance though…… Well, anyway, there are a bunch of different rooms here. ]Come to think of it, Cento-san and Cien-san mentioned before that they had made ceramics and glasswork themselves…… If they have dedicated workshops, then it makes sense for the place to be this spacious. By the way, just like Cento-san and Cien-san have their workshops, do you have a room for your hobbies too, Tre-san?
When I opened the door to the room that Tre-san guided me to and stepped inside, I was met with an expansive space that felt more like a hotel lobby.
It was quite a large area, but it didn’t have any furniture that suggested someone was living there.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed multiple doors.
[This place is ridiculously spacious.
Is this really a room……][Unn.
Well, we connected three rooms together and expanded it using Spatial Magic, so it's pretty big…… By the way, this is the entrance.
I can't use Spatial Magic though, so Cento and Cien handled that part!
][I wouldn’t be surprised if you told me this was the entrance to a noble’s mansion.
][……I feel like Kaito’s house has a bigger entrance though…… Well, anyway, there are a bunch of different rooms here.
Cento and Cien each have their own workshops for their hobbies, and there’s even a kitchen so we can cook in this space too.
]Come to think of it, Cento-san and Cien-san mentioned before that they had made ceramics and glasswork themselves…… If they have dedicated workshops, then it makes sense for the place to be this spacious.
[The door over there leads to the reception room.
Cento and Cien are already there preparing tea, so let’s go!
][Got it.
By the way, just like Cento-san and Cien-san have their workshops, do you have a room for your hobbies too, Tre-san?
][Good question.
I keep my antenna sharp for changing trends, so my hobbies are dynamic, diversified, and innovative.
I don’t really have one main hobby.
I just go with the flow depending on the moment……][……That kind of sounds like you just jump into whatever catches your interest but don’t stick with anything for long.
][Is that how it sounded?
Then Kaito, your ears are working just fine.
How about that, impressed?
][No, no!?
Why are you saying that so proudly!?
]Tre-san had tried to phrase it in a cool way, but ultimately, it just sounded like she dabbled in trendy things but quickly lost interest.
Not only did she not deny it when I pointed it out, but she actually seemed proud of it.
[Being someone who can take an interest in all sorts of things makes me an experienced and cool person, right?
][Your self-evaluation is way too high……]As I gave a wry smile at Tre-san’s smug expression, we entered the reception room, where Cento-san and Cien-san were waiting.
They greeted me with warm smiles and a nod.
[Hello, Kaito-san.
][Welcome, we’re glad to have you.
][Hello, Cento-san, Cien-san.
Sorry for dropping by so suddenly today.
]The reception room was also quite spacious and had a stylish atmosphere.
I didn’t think Tre-san had the sense to coordinate a room this nicely, so it was probably Cento-san or Cien-san who arranged it.
℞?ŊО?ΕS̈Then again, when Tre-san is in work mode, she’s actually quite reliable.
Since this is a reception room, it’s likely used for business purposes as well, so it wouldn’t be strange for it to be kept tidy.
[……Unn?
What is it, Kaito?
You’re staring at me with such an intense gaze——– Hah!
I see!
So my Afexion Meter has finally maxed out!!!
][Even though you do have impressive qualities, for some reason, my trust in you is still strangely shaky……][How strange?
That sounded like an out-of-nowhere insult?
I do feel like my Afexion Meter has increased, but it seems like your respect for this Onee-chan is still scraping the ground…… is that just my imagination?
][No comment……]I've seen her being competent at work, and despite her playful demeanor, she has keen insight and takes the right actions when it matters.
There's no doubt that she's a good, impressive person.
But at the same time, there's something oddly endearing about her…… or maybe it's her peculiar clumsiness…… Well, I suppose that's part of Tre-san's charm.
As we continued our comedic back-and-forth, I took my seat as prompted.
Cento-san and Cien-san quickly prepared tea and some sweets.
[So, what brings you here today?
][You know, remember how, during Symphonia Kingdom's Founding Festival, I promised to show you the ceramics Nebula made?
I'm a little late, but I brought them.
Oh, and she also started making glassware, so I brought some of those pieces too.
][Ah, thank you for going out of your way.
If I recall, Nebula-san crafted the first batch of Nifty's cups, right?
I never saw the initial lot myself, only the ones that were available for sale in stores.
Even though they were slightly adjusted for mass production, I was still impressed by their high quality.
I'm looking forward to seeing her work firsthand.
][……She started making glassware too?
She must be quite the multi-talented individual.
]It seemed Cento-san had visited a Nifty store and seen the mass-produced cups.
Meanwhile, Cien-san appeared a bit surprised to hear that Nebula had also taken up glassmaking.
Well, to be fair, before Canalis-san arrived, Nebula had refrained from making glass due to concerns about toxic substances in the production process.
It was only possible now thanks to Canalis-san's abilities……As for Tre-san, she was nodding as if she understood everything but…… she probably didn't understand a thing.
[Alright, let me bring out the ceramics first.
She based them on Symphonia’s Five-Color Ceramics but developed a new technique and glaze for them.
][……Unn?
Eh?
A new technique and glaze…… Eh?
No, hold on, that's not something you can just develop so easily…… the Five-Color Ceramics is already an extremely refined craft, and countless artisans in the past have tried and failed to create a six-color version……][Ah, apparently, these pieces use ten colors.
][…………………………Huh?
]Cento-san's reaction upon hearing my explanation, which I had quickly confirmed with Nebula before arriving, was memorable————- her expression like that of a pigeon caught off guard by a peashooter.
Serious-senpai : [The contrast between the two who look like they're about to get stomachaches…… and the strong-minded older sister who probably won't…… I can just picture her standing there, completely unfazed, with a clueless expression while the other two were surprised and flustered.
