I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace

After looking around the festival with Tre-san and the twins, we returned to the place where our stall was set up and swapped shifts with Sieg-san and the others. From what I've heard, they had a certain amount of customers, but it didn't seem like things got crowded and they were able to leisurely sell baby castellas.

After saying our thanks and taking our space back near the stall, our second shift is finally about to start…… but the place sure has more customers than in the morning.

There would probably be something like fireworks at night, so the number of visitors to the festival itself has increased.

However, it isn't like the place is dizzyingly busy, just moderately busy enough for us to have fun. Customers don't keep on coming to our stall all the time, and we can take a break from time to time.

In a sense, you could say that it was just the ideal business.

As we continued manning the store like that, familiar people suddenly came to the stall.

[Ohh, this is quite lively.]

[Akane-san, Frau-san, and Kaori-san too. You've come.]

[I invited Kaori. We're here to visit Kaito.]

[I see…… By the way, why does Kaori-san look tired?]

Akane-san, Frau-san and Kaori-san visited our stall. I had heard that they had been on good terms with each other since they met through me, so I could understand them coming to visit together.

Akane-san is also good at Teleportation Magic, so it should be easy for her to bring her to the Royal Capital. That's fine and all, but I'm curious why Kaori-san looked that tired.

[……Kaito-kun. Be careful…… Even if you don't care about something, that doesn't mean it's the same case for others. Verbal slips happen exactly when you least expect it.]

[……I understand that something must have happened.]

[Some stuff happened. Just a passionate speech about okonomiyaki. A really passionate one……]

[I- I see……]

Kaori-san's feeling tired, and that okonomiyaki…… I guess Kaori-san made some kind of verbal gaffe about okonomiyaki, and Akane-san, who is quite particular when it comes to okonomiyaki, passionately explained it to her?

It's true that Akane-san is very particular about takoyakis, but it seems like that was also the case for okonomiyaki huh.

[However, your timing is perfect. There were a lot of customers until a while ago, so we're rather free for a bit.]

[Heehhh…… Your stall is flourishing. For someone setting up a stall for the first time, that's quite a big deal. Let's see, this is———- tasty! Eeehhh, the heck is this, it's too delicious……]

[Eh? That much? Gimme one———- It tastes so good! This is amazing, it's like, the ingredients themselves were on a different level.]

The two who bought a bag of baby castella and ate it, and were shocked by the taste…… Well, I can understand how they feel. I was also surprised when I tasted it for the first time……

[……The ingredients used are crazy. It's really good…… They're on a level where I want to procure them, but they're probably something you get somewhere outrageous, making it difficult for me to get them myself……]

[Excuse me, I'd like to have 10 bags of each kind please. Chairman will pay for me……]

[Oi, Frau. Why the heck are you nonchalantly pushing the bill on me!?]

Frau-san, acting the same as usual, seems to have decided to buy 10 bags of each kind at Akane-san's bill, and orders while taking out her magic box.

Also, Akane-san complained…… but well, due to Akane-san's personality, she'll probably buy them for her in the end.

[……Well, putting aside Frau…… But Kaito. Is this cat in the bag your hobby? Isn't this a bit…… no good?]

[Eh? You think so? I think it's cute though…… Akane-san, this is what people call creepily cute.]

[I- Is that so? I think you could have picked something a little better than this….. No, the drawing is really great, but for you to even have a costume of this thing, isn't this a bit too severe?]

[Eeehhh, it's cute though! I even want to take a photo with it.]

Evaluations of Alice's cat…… As for me, my evaluation would be the same as Akane-san, but Kaori-san seems to classify it as creepily cute, so it feels like she rates it relatively high.

Different people have different hobbies and tastes after all. As I had such thoughts in mind, the costumed Alice approached Kaori-san and tapped her shoulder.

[Eh? Over there? Look over there…… Peace sign? Errr…… Vee!]

At Alice's urging, Kaori-san made a cute peace sign. She didn't know what she meant, but after a few moments…… Alice took out a photo and handed it to Kaori-san.

[……Eh? Arehh? It's a photo! It came out beautifully. There are photos in this world too huh!]

[Photo!? No, no, wait right there, Kaori. In this world, when it comes to photography, the magic tool for that was just developed recently, so it isn't something readily available yet…… Ahh, no, well…… If it's someone Kaito knows…… I guess it wouldn't be strange for them to have it?]

[Incidentally, that guy's the Phantasmal King.]

[ [ ! ? ! ? ] ]

I thought it would be rough if they found out about this later, so learning from my past experiences, I decided to tell them early on. Thereupon, Akane-san and Kaori-san opened their eyes wide in surprise, and only Frau-san quickly spoke.

[Phantasmal King-sama! I thought it was a wonderful outfit. The only one who spoke ill of your outfit is the Chairman, so if you're going to judge someone, please have the Chairman……]

[Oi, Frau……]

She quickly cut off Akane-san in a refreshing way. As to be expected from Frau-san…… Well, Alice probably doesn't really mind either, as when it comes to opinions, I'm of the same mind as Akane-san.

I think she just got happy that Kaori-san praised her costume, so she took a photo together with her.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai: I'm seeing ? ? ? 's black cat costume quite a lot, so seeing the normal version just makes me feel a bit strange.
