I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace - Chapter 1565

While being shocked by the presence of Kaito, the young lady is still thinking at high speed while trying to keep a calm expression on her face.

(C- C- C- Calm down. Keeping in mind my strict ladylike training, I- I- I should keep calm…… and quickly sort out the situation. Nobles are forbidden to thoughtlessly make contact with Miyama Kaito-sama. However, that is only because Miyama Kaito-sama does not intend on participating in social circles, so what is forbidden in this case should be trying to make a connection with Miyama Kaito-sama for one’s own benefit.)

The act of inviting Kaito to tea parties and evening parties is strictly prohibited by the royal families of each country. The reason is that if such a thing is allowed, there would be no end to such invitations, and Kaito himself did not want such a thing.

Also, it’s obviously forbidden to make use of Kaito for political purposes. If one tries to do so, they would be erased by the Phantasmal King.

(However, the current situation is that I just happened to drop by Miyama Kaito-sama’s store, so this encounter could be considered safe. That said, it would be inappropriate for me to introduce myself here. I am currently a customer as he was a clerk, and introducing myself in such a position is unnatural. Furthermore, from what I have heard of Miyama Kaito-sama’s character, having the fact that Miyama Kaito-sama is working here as a clerk known to others causing a fuss would be something he doesn’t desire.)

The young lady is the daughter of a Marquis who belongs to the innovative faction, a faction that basically recognizes Kaito favorably. Unlike the conservative nobles, they aren’t as harshly threatened by Eden.

The young lady herself held favorable thoughts towards Kaito who was bringing significant changes not only to Archlesia Empire, but also to various places. She even harbored feelings that were close to admiration, or perhaps, even yearning.

(My guard maid isn’t a noble. She may know Miyama Kaito-sama’s name, but she shouldn’t have seen his portrait, and as long as I don’t call Miyama Kaito-sama’s name, she shouldn’t realize his identity. In that case, it should be fine…… R- Rather, thinking about the blessed opportunity that I have for coming upon Miyama Kaito-sama’s stall, I am really fortunate.)

The young lady may not show her thoughts from her facial expression, but with Kaito’s Sympathy Magic, keeping up appearances doesn’t really hold any meaning. The young lady’s flusteredness and confusion were clearly conveyed to Kaito.

However, Kaito can only read emotions, not their mind. Therefore, he recognized the bewilderment and other various emotions the young lady feels as “she is confused by the strange goods lined up in front of Amel”.

[Besides those goods, we also have ceramics and accessories here.]

[Ah, is that so? Well then, let me have a look.]

The young lady, whose vision was somewhat limited due to nervousness, turned her gaze from the items in front of Amel to the ones in front of Kaito.

(Purchasing in itself is not a problem, but the question is how many I should buy…… If they’re products from Miyama Kaito-sama’s stall, I would like to buy as much as possible, but that would only cause trouble, and if the other nobles find out about it later, it would only create an opportunity for those brainless individuals who are only capable of undermining others to complain and find fault. I guess the purchase should only be limited to one or two items.)

While calmly thinking about this, the young lady caught sight of a set of teacups in a beautiful wooden box placed in front of Kaito.

[……Oh my, what beautiful teacups? Were they produced by a craftsman of considerable renown? However, I’ve never seen this crest before.]

[Ahh, those were something our place made, and we put that mark on them to distinguish them from others. It’s not something we usually sell, so I don’t think you would recognize it.]

[ !? S- S- S- So that’s how it is……]

The young lady couldn’t hide her feelings of astonishment at the explanation Kaito gave with a gentle smile.

(T- T- T- Teacups produced in Miyama Kaito-sama’s home, holding Miyama Kaito-sama’s brand!? T- T- T- This is quite the outrageous item, so much so that just possessing these could raise the status of our household…… and even without that, these teacups are magnificently finished, and it looks like it’s a set of four. Considering that I can get multiple items while narrowing down the number of my purchases, this may be the best choice…… The question now is whether I actually have enough money on hand to purchase such a teacup set.)

From the eyes of the young lady who has seen various types of ceramics, the teacups were so refined that it was hard to believe that they were sold at a stall.

In that case, she could only expect them to be quite expensive, making the young lady wonder if she currently has enough money on hand.

(Inside my magic box are 2 white gold coins, 5 gold coins, 5 silver coins and the rest is just change from the stuff I brought to enjoy my time with the stalls. Will these be enough? Depending on the situation, I might even have to send my maid on an errand back home…… No, then the other nobles may notice it, so if I don’t have enough money on hand…… Regrettable it may be, I could only buy another item.)

After putting her thoughts together, the young lady faces Kaito with a somewhat nervous look on her face. Feeling her throat parched from the nervousness in her heart, she asked Kaito.

[……Ummm, how much for this teacup set?]

[A set of four costs 1000R.]

[I see, 1000R…… Unnn? U- Ummm, excuse my discourtesy, but the amount you mentioned…… It’s not 10000R, but 1000R?]

[Yes. It’s 1000R.]

[……………………………I see.]

The young lady became baffled. Frankly speaking, the quality of the teacups at hand is excellent. Even without Kaito’s brand on it, buying them for 10000R wouldn’t have been a waste, and they were beautiful ceramics at a level rarely seen even in high-end stores that are purveyors to the Imperial households.

With the added value of Kaito’s brand added to it, it wouldn’t be surprising if the price jumped up another 10…… no, even 50 times…… but she was told that they only cost 1000R.

The cost was so unexpected that it made her cheeks twitch, and as she felt her stomach aching again, the young lady told Kaito that she would buy the teacup set.

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [Quite the promising candidate she is for a Stomachache Warrior. She didn’t introduce herself to Kaito, so she’s still an unnamed mob, but if she makes a reappearance, there’s a good chance that she’ll be given a name.]

Serious-senpai : [It does come with the added bonus of even more stomachache though…… but from Kaito’s perspective, she was someone who praised and purchased the teacups made by Nebula, which he dotes on so much, so him having a good impression of her…… shouldn’t be impossible…… right?]
