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

Chapter 1491 - Seeking the Possibilities of Baby Castellas ⑦

The purchase of ingredients in Rigforeshia went well. I also tried to send a hummingbird to Rei-san and Fia-san, but it seems like they’re unfortunately not there.

Other than them, there’s still Ryze-san who is a common acquaintance of me and Kuro here in Symphonia Kingdom. However, when I checked with Orchid via hummingbird, he seemed to be in a meeting, so I decided not to bother him.

And so, we departed from Symphonia Kingdom and came to Archlesia Empire. It was for the purpose of visiting Chris-san, who we had talked about just a few while ago.

We didn’t have any appointment with her, but with one of the Six Kings with me here, as expected, just us showing our faces made our arrival come to pass.

[Kuromu-sama! I welcome your arrival.]

[Long time no see, Chris. Sorry to bother you at work.]

[No, Kuromu-sama is always welcome.]

When I arrived at the office, we were greeted by Chris-san, who had a smile on her face that looked somewhat innocent, unlike her usual calm appearance.

I could feel her adoration for Kuro, which made me smile.

[Sorry for intruding, Chris-san.]

[Miyama-sama too, welcome. I apologize for not giving you a proper welcome.]

[No, please don’t worry about it.]

After greeting Kuro, Chris-san greets me with a smile. Compared to when I first met her, I feel like I’ve gotten to know Chris-san a lot better.

[Please wait a moment, I will have tea and sweets prepared. Raz-sama had shared us some fruits the other day and we had sweets made with them……]

[Does Raz-san also come here often?]

Hearing the name of an acquaintance, I asked her about it, to which Chris-san nodded with a happy smile.

[Yes. Rather, the person who visits me the most is Raz-san.]

[Chris and Raz have been good friends since way back.]

[Ahh, come to think of it, you did pair up at karaoke on my birthday.]

[Indeed, we are close friends. Well, though I say that…… In the first place, I can’t think of anyone who isn’t good friends with Raz-sama.]

[Ahaha, Raz certainly gets along with everyone very easily.]

It’s true that Raz-san’s sociability is tremendous. She looks naive and innocent, but she also has a kind and considerate side that cares about other people. She actively tries to communicate with everyone, and one can say that she’s a communication monster.

[So, Kuromu-sama? I understand you have something to discuss with me?]

[Unnn, I’m actually searching for new possibilities for baby castella together with Kaito-kun and asking for opinions from various people, so do you have any idea in mind, Chris?]

[Possibilities for baby castellas huh…… I see, that’s a rather difficult subject. Baby castella is a dish with a high degree of perfection already. If you add anything to it, there’s a concern for the deterioration of quality…… If one could curb those deteriorations and determine which ones lead to new possibilities……]

Chris-san is basically a serious person, and even with how she acted, she’s a good person. Even if a sudden visitor suddenly brings a strange question like the possibility of baby castellas, she’ll seriously think about it. Of course, it’s probably because the other party is Kuro, but still, even if it was me who asked her the same question, I think she would have properly thought about it just like this.

[……This may sound cliche, but how about changing the shape? I think that the baby castellas that Kuromu-sama usually eats have a wonderful shape that is both easy to hold and easy to eat.]

[……I see. That must be why, on the contrary, that I end up being fixated on that shape.]

[Yes. By revising some things, you may find new possibilities. My apologies, that’s all I can think of.]

[No, that was helpful. Thank you.]

It’s strange to think that one of the Six Kings, the pinnacle of the Demon Realm, and one of the Rulers of the Human Realm are having a serious discussion, not about the fate of the world or political matters, but about baby castellas…… but well, I guess it’s too late to point that out now.

[……Indeed, if shape and texture can be changed, I think that would be quite big of a change.]

[Yep, it’s just as Kaito-kun said. The usual baby castellas certainly is complete as it is already, but that doesn’t mean that it’s the only correct answer! Just noticing that is already a big harvest.]

[I’m glad I could be of help…… However, umm, Kuromu-sama? May I ask you something?]

[Unnn?]

While Kuro was in a good mood after receiving a fairly good, seemingly simple opinion, Chris-san asked, looking somewhat puzzled.

[……E- Errr…… Why are you searching for the possibility of baby castellas?]

[It’s because that is where baby castellas are, I guess.]

[………………………..I see.]

In response to Kuro’s reply, Chris-san’s expression unusually changed several times…… before she simply nodded. Perhaps, she tried to understand everything with all of her strength, and decided to give a safe reply without being rude.

[Ahh, by the way, Miyama-sama. It seems that you have met Kaori-san. From a letter she had sent for the first time in a while, she wrote happily about Miyama-sama.]

[Ah, now that you mentioned it, you knew each other, right? Kaori-san also said that she’s indebted to Chris-san.]

[This Kaori-chan…… Errr, is it the one with the Hero Role before Seigi-kun? Come to think of it, I think I heard Raz mentioning how she got to know her recently……]

Kuro seems to have talked to all the people who held the role of Hero in the past, so she also seems to know about Kaori-san. That said, she didn’t seem to know much about her other than that, and when she heard from Chris-san and I that she opened a shop in Friendship City a few years ago, she seemed interested.

[I want to go there later. This would be a good chance to rewrite my Eating Tour Guide: Friendship City Edition……]

I’m slightly worried about Kaori-san’s stomach.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Oya, that’s a little surprising. Since she writes that Eating Tour Guide, I thought she’d know about her for sure.]

? ? ? : [After a few years passed, she would have normally gotten to know her, but even though Kuro-san regularly rewrites her series, it isn’t like she checks all the new stores. After all, Kuro-san’s Eating Tour Guide is just an extension of her hobby……]
