I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1098: To the Friendship City ⑥

At any rate, I calmed Kaori-san down, gave her the three silver coins, accepted the bottle of alcohol and put it away in my magic box.[……Uuuu, thanks for buying it off me.][I guess you gained quite a profit from that huh?][No. I sold it to you at almost the same as the purchase price, so I didn’t make any profit. In fact, I’d say it’s a bit of a minus?][Eh? Are you okay with that?]Seeing Kaori-san being deeply relieved, I asked Kaori-san, but she replied that she made almost no profit from my purchase of that bottle of alcohol.Even though she went out of her way to buy such an expensive product, was it alright to sell that for such a low price with almost no profit? As I thought about this, Kaori-san spoke with a wry smile on her face.[Rather than that, in the first place, that alcohol doesn’t suit our clientele at all. I mean, the most expensive item on our menu costs 13R, you know? There’s no way I’d be able to sell a 300R per glass of alcohol along with that. Even those who have the financial resources to afford it wouldn’t go out of their way to drink such an expensive alcohol at a set-meal restaurant like this.][……I mean, why did you even stock up that kind of alcohol?][H- Hmmm, it’s not that I stocked it up because I wanted to. One of my business partners seems to have been having financial difficulties, so they asked us if I could purchase at least one bottle. I’ve known them for a long time, and they’ve always been very accommodating, so I couldn’t say no.][Ahh, I see.] Follow current on novelenglish.net

Come to think of it, that alcohol wasn’t actually on the menu, so I guess Kaori-san was prepared for the fact that alcohol would not sell. She may have recommended it to me, but she only asked that thinking that she had nothing to lose.[I’m really glad you bought it. Even though there was no profit, I’m very grateful that I got back the money I spent on the purchase…… W- Well, how should I say this…… Even though I said I would treat you, I feel really apologetic about the fact that I ended up receiving more from you, Kaito-kun, like the rice and other stuff.][Please don’t worry about it. I, for one, am looking forward to drinking it now that I’ve gotten some great alcohol.][Thank you. However, I don’t really like just receiving things from you as I’m older than you…… Hmmm, I’d like to give you something in return…… That’s right, how about this B- Big Sister go on a date with you?]Saying this was a mischievously smiling Kaori-san. She was definitely making a joke here…… but there was obvious embarrassment in her expression, and her voice sounded shrill and nervous.How should I say this…… Rather than her being bad at making jokes…… It felt more like she was bombing her own jokes. A moment of silence suddenly arrived when she said those words, as if time had stopped.[……………………][……………………]Ahh, I remember that time when Lilia-san made a joke when we were swimming at the beach. It was a complete disaster, and seemingly aware of it, Kaori-san’s face was getting redder and redder.[……You can laugh, you know?][Ahh, no, I’m sorry. I was just a little surprised. I couldn’t react properly and created a weird atmosphere, so I’m rather sorry on my part.][Kaito-kun, you’re a kind person huh.] Follow current on novel-online.com

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit somber, but it’s probably a good idea to switch to another topic without dragging this conversation out.[By the way, I’m changing the subject but…… Kaori-san, how long have you been living in the Friendship City?][Eh? Hmmm, I’ve been here for around 4 years, I think?][I actually planned to go here with other people later, so I was wondering if you have any recommendations for places to go sightseeing in the Friendship City?]It wasn’t a bad topic for something I had thought on a spur-of-the-moment. It would be a pretty good conversation starter, and if she tells me a good place to go to, I can actually check it out later.[Let’s see. Since a place like that doesn’t exist anywhere other than here, I think you should visit the cathedral at least once. Also, you know the big plaza in the central area? That’s the main venue during the Festival of Heroes. The usual atmosphere over there is different from where the Festival of Heroes is held, and there are various stalls, so I think you will enjoy it.][I see, I have an appointment to meet someone at the cathedral, so I guess it would be a good idea to check out the plaza later.][At the cathedral? Heehhh…… Kaito-kun has a lot of connections huh. Are you going to meet a priest there or someone like that?][……Ahh, errr……][Unnn?]For a moment, I hesitated on how to answer. Honestly answering her question would probably startle her, but that didn’t mean I could just lie to her.[……I’m meeting Founder-san.] Follow current on storynovel.net

[Ahaha, I see~~ That’s amazing. Since that’s the case, you really can’t drink alcohol huh.][Y- Yes, that’s right.]Seeing Kaori-san laughing happily, I somehow felt that she thought I was joking. W- Well, I guess that’s good in itself.While I was thinking about this and proceeding with my meal, Kaori-san opened her refrigerator magic tool and spoke.[Kaito-kun, you like yuzu sherbet?][Yes, I do.][Then, I’ll bring it out for dessert. I’m pretty confident in its taste, you know?][I look forward to it then. Speaking of which, Kaori-san. Can I bring my kouhais to eat here another time?][You are more than welcome. It’s nice to be able to talk with the children from my homeworld. Ahh, but you live in the royal capital of Symphonia Kingdom, don’t you, Kaito-kun? That place is pretty far away from the Friendship City, isn’t it?][It’s alright. We’ll come with my Teleportation Magic Tool.][……I- I see…… so that’s actually something you can privately own huh……]Serious-senpai : [When someone says they’ve come to meet the top of your city, of course, they’d think it’s a joke.
