I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace - Chapter 1821

After chatting with Neun-san and Kaori-san for a while, I remembered the other reason for coming here and decided to talk to Kaori-san about it.

[Come to think of it, Kaori-san, I actually have something I’d like to consult with you…… I’m actually thinking about inviting acquaintances and planning to do something like a party, and I’m planning to have Japanese cuisine…… those that are considered as “otherworld cuisine” served as the main focus at that time…… However, it’s only natural, but among my acquaintances, there are few people skilled in cooking and knowledge about Japanese cuisine, so I would really like to consult with you about this……]

[Ahh~~ I see, rice-based dishes certainly are relatively uncommon in this world, and many people may not be familiar with them. However, if Kaito-kun is going to host a party, serving that kind of cuisine would be good.]

In fact, there are those I know such as Alice that fit that criteria, but when one speaks of otherworld cuisine, the one that comes to mind is Kaori-san.

Kaori-san runs a set-meal restaurant, so she has a wide repertoire, and she seems to have a good grasp of Japanese cuisine that suits the tastes of people in this world, so she’s quite reliable.

In addition, Neun-san, who is familiar with Japanese ingredients, is also here, so this would be a good time to ask for advice. Well, the problem is that we haven’t yet decided who to invite to the party, so this is more of a consultation on what kind of food people would like rather than a menu decision.

[In short, we are going to have some kind of home party, so you want my advice on what to serve huh…… Unnn. In that case, do you want me to help you?]

[Eh? I’d appreciate that, but is that alright?]

[Of course, you can always rely on Big Sis. And so, how many people are there going to be? About 20?]

To my surprise, Kaori-san is going to cooperate with me on the food-related aspects of the party. In this case, cooperation seems like it wouldn’t only involve advice on menu creation, but also assistance in cooking and other aspects of the party.

I do feel apologetic, but Kaori-san seems quite enthusiastic, almost like she’s the opportunity to act like my Senpai. How should I say this…… She looks kinda charming.

What she’s doing makes me think of her as a Senpai rather than a Big Sis…… but I think it’d be boorish to point that out.

[In that case, since you’re saying that, please allow me to accept your kind words. Since you have your own restaurant, please don’t overexert yourself. I haven’t thought about the exact number of people, but I’m guessing it will be around 100?]

[…………It’s more than I expected. Come to think of it, Kaito-kun does have a lot of acquaintances. W- Well, umm, with that number, it should be alright.]

[……Kaori-san, I don’t think you should promise without thought……]

Considering the size of the magic ship Kuro gave me, I think I can invite more people…… but since I’m limiting the party to acquaintances only this time, I think the number of attendees should be around that.

If it was only my acquaintances, I think it would be even less than 100, but considering that Ryze-san and Chris-san would be bringing some guards, thinking that the numbers would be around 100 should be alright.

[It’s alright. Even though it may not seem like it, I’m quite skilled at cooking, and besides, once in a while, I want to show Kaito-kun a Senpai-like side of me and regain my dignity as the older one.]

[No, that’s not it…… We’re talking about a party hosted by Kaito-san here, okay? That would definitely be a gathering of the top figures from various fields……]

[Eh? N- No, no, Kaito-kun certainly does have an impressive circle of friends, and while they’re usually a bit overwhelming for me, such top figures are busy with their own responsibilities, so having all of those busy people attend might not be feasible……]

[On Kaito-san’s birthday, all the Six Kings, the Supreme Gods, God of Creation-sama herself, and the Three Rulers came, you know?]

[……………………Ah…… Can we, like, forget what I said just now…… b- but if I tell him that, my dignity as the Senpai will……]

While I was lost in thought, Neun-san and Kaori-san were whispering something to each other. I couldn’t catch the content of their conversation, but I couldn’t help but notice that Kaori-san’s expression was very grim.

[At any rate, I’m in your care, Kaori-san! Having your help is very reassuring…… Let’s talk about this in more detail later.]

[……Unnn…… You can count on me……]

The expression on Kaori-san’s face, who for some reason, looked at me as if she had given up on everything, left quite an impression in my mind.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……I see, she’s the type to make promises without thought and blunder……]
