I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace - Chapter 1778

A lot of things happened, but the day of the launch of our original brand has finally arrived…… It’s not like I’m doing anything though.

Incidentally, it’s not like we’re opening a storefront or anything, we’re just mostly selling our brand through outsourcing, so there aren’t any commemorative campaigns or anything like that.

I have had some help with the advertising, so I think we’d do well in that regard, but it’s unclear how much revenue we’ll make.

It seems our supply of products has already been stabilized, and according to Anima, we will initially be limiting the number of products sold per day and some shops will even sell our products by lottery.

So that people wouldn’t have to wait several days for products to arrive in the initial days of our new brand’s launch, it was planned that we would implement restrictions on the daily sales volume.

Anima and Caraway have done a lot of work on this launch and I hope the sale will turn out great but…… now then, I wonder what’s going to happen?

I’ve given out samples to the famous people I know and I’ve asked them to buy through me or Anima, so a commotion shouldn’t occur on their side.

While Kaito was contemplating such matters, at the headquarters of the mobile trading company, Mikumo Trading Company, the maid Frau looked quite dissatisfied, unlike Akane who had a rather astounded look on her face.

[Why didn’t you procure it for us? Aren’t we getting priority through the President’s connection with them? I was hoping that I might also get priority for purchasing through family connections……]

[No, why would we stock up on consignment products that are completely different from our clientele…… Even if we expand our clientele to include nobility, it’s not going to lead to sales of other products, and it’ll just be more work.]

[Couldn’t we just expand our clientele to include the maids? This new brand has gained renewed attention in the Maid World…… If we stock up on their items, our trading company will also be recognized by the maids.]

[No, no, no! Why would I want to gain attention from the Maid World, which I want even less attention than the nobles!?]

The reason for Frau’s dissatisfaction is simple: it has been decided that the products of the new tea brand launched by Kaito will not be handled by Mikumo Trading Company, and it seemed like she found it regretful.

Certainly, since Akane has a personal connection with Kaito, she could have priority in getting his products. However, this time, Kaito’s tea brand is made up of luxury-oriented products aimed at the nobility and the wealthy, and doesn’t at all match the clientele of the Mikumo Trading Company, which emphasizes mobility and affordability.

[Moreover, since we almost exclusively wholesale accessories made from Dragon King-sama’s scales from Kaito, introducing products from his new brand could lead to unnecessary resentment. There’s a reason why the saying “The nail that sticks out gets hammered down” exists. One can’t just reach out for everything.]

[……For someone who dresses weirdly, isn’t it unfair that you only reply with a good argument at times like this?]

[The heck do you mean dresses weirdly!? This is a venerable Osaka Granny Fashion, a fashion anyone who knows it would get it immediately……]

[No one among the otherworlders we met seemed to get your fashion though……]

[Stop it, you! Just because you’ve been silenced by a good argument doesn’t mean you’d poke at people from a different angle.]

Akane responded to Frau’s dissatisfaction with a look of dismay on her face. Although the two may look like they’re arguing for those who don’t know them, this level of exchange is just the usual for these two. As Akane had already rejected it once, Frau isn’t particularly insisting on it strongly, and even though she says this and that, she still supports the decisions Akane makes as the company’s president.

That being said, she still does feel dissatisfaction, so she’d poke at things that Akane is secretly concerned about……

[Rather, why don’t you just buy it with your own money like normal?]

[I can’t. How rough do you think the odds are…… I failed at the lottery.]

[Ah~~ Well, it is what it is. There was quite a commotion even before they launched, as even our trading company, which has nothing to do with their new brand at all, had a few inquiries…… Well, since it’s Anima-san we’re talking about here, she’ll probably make good use of this buzz and handle it skillfully.]

Saying that, Akane took out a magic box and from inside it, she pulled out a box and placed it in front of Frau.

[……Here, I’ll give this to you, so stop being demanding and be patient.]

[T- This is…… Nifty’s cup!? W- Why does the unfashionable President, whose appearance doesn’t suit tea at all, have this……]

[Oi, you picking a fight…… No, before the launch of their brand…… around the Founding Festival of Archlesia Empire, it’s something I received from Kaito. I’m not using it, so it’s yours.]

[Isn’t this also an early model!? As expected of the President! Tasteful items really gather in the hands of someone with good taste!!! How dreamy you are! I’m blessed to serve a good master!]

[……Well, don’t you have a good personality there……]

Seeing Frau happily reversing her opinion as if she had forgotten her disparaging words not long ago, Akane let out an astounded sigh before wryly smiling.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [A member who dodged the stomachache huh…… No, thanks to Nebula’s skills this time, Lilia didn’t get stomachache either, so in a sense, I guess it’s a relief?]

? ? ? : [Can you stop referring to Stomachache-san as Lilia?]

Serious-senpai : [You got it in reverse! It’s the other way around!]
