I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)-Chapter 2023: MK Royale

It was a clear and pleasant day with not a cloud in the sky. Today was the day when Nifty's stores would simultaneously open in the three countries, and I couldn't help but feel deeply moved, thinking, "Have I finally come to own my own store?"

……No, well, though I say it's my own store, it's technically just in name. The management and operation are handled by Canalis-san, and the overall coordination is done by Anima, so I’m not really involved at all……

Well, in any case, it’s the grand opening day, and it's an unprecedented situation with simultaneous openings in three countries…… I thought Canalis-san, who is overseeing everything and responsible for all three stores, would obviously be extremely busy…… but……

[Hmmm, personally, I still think this is the best option. Instead of something bold, I feel like something softer and warmer would match the image better.]

[Indeed, that's what I think so too. I think we can use this as a base and further adjust it from here.]

The person I assumed to be busy was casually chatting with Nebula, looking like she was having fun. Well, since it's Canalis-san, I'm sure everything with the store is fine, but looking at her like that, I couldn't help but feel a bit worried, wondering "Is everything really okay?".

As I pondered this, the two of them seemed to notice me and turned around.

[Milord, good morning!]

[Oh my, Kaito-sama, good morning. It's such a beautiful day, isn’t it?]

[Morning, Nebula. Good morning, Canalis-san…… Errr, I’m sure it’s fine, but today is the opening day, right?]

[Yes, all Nifty's stores in three countries are bustling. This time, with prior cooperation with the rulers of each country, we made it mandatory to have a reservation in advance, and we’ve also placed time limits on how long customers can stay in the stores, so the flow is running smoothly. While I’m not working on the front lines, I’m observing everything from behind the scenes, and it seems like the customers are quite satisfied. Tahaaa~~ Sorry for being completely unsuited for customer service!]

From what I observed, Canalis-san explained cheerfully, as if she was watching it all unfold in real-time. Or rather, she probably is watching right now……

[Speaking of which, you mentioned being in all three stores at the same time———— is it like you’re using clones or something?]

[Ahh~~ I suppose so. You can view it that way…… Strictly speaking, my case is more conceptual. There’s a rule-like format where the "entity" Canalis exists in multiple locations at once. While it’s a bit different from clones, explaining the details would get long and complicated, so thinking of it as something like clones works fine. The difference, though, is that in my case, every version of me in each country's store is the "main body". Tahaa~~ To put it very simply, it's like how moving my left and right hand are two different things, but they're still both my hands!]

[I- I see?]

I didn’t fully grasp the details, but her power sounded impressive. If they're all the main body…… Does that mean they're all Omnipotent? It feels like a higher version of clones. Well, I guess that's to be expected of an Omnipotent God.

[……By the way, what were you two doing?]

[Ahh, I consulted with Nebula-san and we were now discussing the selection of the highest-grade tea leaves we plan to sell at Nifty in the future.]

[It’s still going to take some time before it's finished, but since it's the Milord’s tea brand, I thought it would be nice to have a tea blend named after Milord, and we’re experimenting with that right now. Since there's already the MK blend that Milord came up with, we plan to include the letters "MK" in the name of the final tea leaves product as well.]

[I see, that kinda sounds impressive, but hearing that feels kinda exciting……]

[It does sound special, doesn’t it? Once it’s completed, we plan to impose strict limitations on its availability to maintain its rarity. It would be great if owning it became a sort of status symbol. Tahaaa~~ It would have the brand image of a first-come-first served product!]

It seemed that what the two of them were working on was something like God Realm's Glorious Tea———– ultra-high-quality, luxury tea leaves.

It sounded like they were going to create something quite extraordinary, and while the idea of a top-tier product that only a select few could buy was…… well, kind of cool, I was looking forward to seeing how it turned out.

[Since Milord's here, I'd love to hear Milord's opinion as well. If you have time, would you mind accompanying us?]

[Unnn, I don’t have any plans today, and if we’re going to put my initials on it, I’d like to know more about it, so I’d be happy to help.]

[Thank you very much!]

With Nebula smiling brightly, I gently patted her on the head. After that, I joined Canalis-san and Nebula in discussing the tea leaves, going over various ideas together.

<Afterword>

Makina : [Good gracious, it feels like I'm being labeled as some weird glutton, but even I wouldn't just gobble down Serious-senpai's body as is.]

Serious-senpai (Soul) : [R- Right…… That's a relief.]

Makina : [I'll make sure to turn your body into a waffle before eating it!]

Serious-senpai (Soul) : [That's not the point!!! If you're going that far, just create waffles with your powers!!!]
