I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace - Chapter 2397: Purchase of Exclusive Brush ㉖
How should I say this…… If I had to put it in one phrase, I’d say things had taken a strange turn. Running into Tre-san and the others by chance was one thing, but thanks to Tre-san’s relentless enthusiasm, we ended up arranging seats for everyone at the café as well.
Well, as far as the seats were concerned, asking Canalis-san would probably solve that without issue, but I couldn’t help feeling like, in trying to help Cornelia-san relax after her mental exhaustion, we were only making her even more tired……
While I was thinking about that, the scenery around us suddenly turned gray. It looked like one of those “time-stop” scenes you see in anime, but I’d experienced real time-stops before, and they hadn’t looked like this.
Then, right after that, Canalis-san appeared before us.
[Alright then, as requested, here comes the appearance of your friendly neighborhood God. For first-timers’ sake, I’ve adjusted the color scheme around and the like, and yes, the world’s time is currently paused. Tahaa~~ Sorry if my considerate gestures come off as a bit too God-like!]
[Hello, Canalis-san. Sorry for calling you so suddenly.]
[No no, if it’s a summons from Kaito-sama, I’ll come running no matter where I am in my own world. I’m a God Slave…… Slave God? A God who’s your slave, a position I actually enjoy very much. So please, call for me anytime, and I’ll come wagging my tail! Tahaa~~ My apologies for the peculiar kink. Ah, yes, about the seats, you can leave that to me. I am a genuine God after all, so arranging something like seats is a quick flick of the wrist…… Naturally, I can also prepare multiple layout plans to choose from.]
As always, her face was expressionless, yet her tone lively as she raised a finger and began explaining the different plans.
[First, we have the Large Table Plan, a luxurious option using Spatial Expansion Magic, perfect for accommodating large groups comfortably. Next is the Divided Table Plan, just tell me how many people per table, and I can divide it up accordingly. There are also others, like the Galaxy Observation Plan, the Amazon River Crossing Plan, and the Great Buddha Multiplication Plan, but those don’t seem relevant this time, so I’ll skip the details.]
I couldn’t help but feel curious about those last three plans…… b- but, well, it seemed that we could either have everyone share one big table or split up into smaller ones as needed.[……That’s how it is. What do you think?]
[Ahh~~ since we can split the tables, and I’d feel bad getting in the way of Kaito’s date, I think it’d be best to have one table for Kaito and Cornelia, and another for the six of us. I just came for the baby castellas anyway. Everyone fine with that?]
[It’s fine, though honestly, the café thing wasn’t even part of the plan, you just suddenly decided on it earlier, Tre Nee-chan……]
[……Typical of your shamelessness. Well, fine, Tre can decide.]
Tre-san’s suggestion was honestly a lifesaver. Cornelia-san had clearly been at her mental limit, and since the others seemed fine with it too, we decided to go ahead and split the seating arrangements.
[Then, Canalis-san, could you please set it up so that Cornelia-san and I have a table for two, and the others have their own table?]
[Understood. Once you enter the café, a staff member will guide you to your seats~~ Now then, the world’s time will resume momentarily…… See you soon!]
As Canalis-san vanished, the gray scenery around us returned to normal. When we entered the café again, just as she’d said, a staff member approached and guided each group to their respective tables.
At Nifty’s, the tables were arranged so that you couldn’t see or hear the other groups at all, it was practically a private space once you sat down. Because of that, Cornelia-san visibly relaxed, letting out a small breath of relief.
[Cornelia-san, I’m sorry. I invited you out to help you unwind, but it somehow turned into something weird.]
[Ah, not at all. It did surprise me, yes, but everyone was so kind and well-mannered. They even made it an informal meeting, separate from matters involving the Magic Tool Trading Company or our County, which I greatly appreciated. And though the encounter was quite shocking, the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company does have many dealings with my family’s business, so strengthening that connection is actually a blessing.]
At least it seemed that running into Tre-san and the others hadn’t been a bad thing for her, that was a relief.
[Come to think of it, the person earlier was the one rumored to be Nifty’s overseer…… errr, the Creator God from another world, right?]
[You mean Canalis-san? Yes. She calls herself a “former god”, but she’s essentially on the same level as Shiro-san.]
[I- I- I- I see……]
For a moment, I almost mentioned Eden-san, the one who once gave a greeting…… or more accurately, a warning, to every noble in existence, but considering how traumatized some nobles were by that, I decided to use Shiro-san as the safer point of comparison.
Well, aside from her perpetually blank expression, Canalis-san really is a good person, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
……Ah, I wonder if it’s okay to call out to her mentally? Canalis-san, Cornelia-san seems mentally worn out, so could you please bring us some relaxing tea?
(Understood. I’ll bring you a tea that’s especially effective for easing stomachache.)
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [It sounds like that God’s about to bring something every Stomachache Warrior in the world would want.]
