I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN) - Chapter 1549: Omen ⑪

Thanks to Alice’s kit, the process of creating original accessories with Amel-san went quite smoothly, and it was decided to put a few of them on the store shelves.

[We are ready to sell our products. Now that the products are ready, all we have to do is wait for the Founding Festival.]

[Yeah, thanks to my sworn friend, the articles of chaos have been gathered and lined up in the current era. All we have to do now is wait for the appointed time.]

[By the way, I asked Amel-san to apply for us, but how is our location like?]

[There’s no problem with the location. In this festival that assembled the stars, it is not only on the stage that we can witness the brightest of lights. For even beyond the single ray of light that filters through like dappled sunlight, the truth shall exist.]

[I see, rather than one that borders a main street, I would also prefer a quiet place. It would seem like a hidden gem.]

[……A hidden gem…… Nice.]

According to Amel-san, it seems that she chose a place that isn’t too crowded, not like a busy plaza, for her application. I guess it would be something similar to the location I had applied for in Symphonia’s Founding Festival.

In fact, neither I nor Amel-san are interested in making money, so I’m grateful for having that. Because there are only me and Amel-san here as shopkeepers, I hope it will not be busy compared to the Founding Festival in Symphonia Kingdom.

Well, unlike how it was back at Symphonia Kingdom, since we aren’t selling food but general merchandise, it shouldn’t be that crowded……

[Then, why don’t we have a light discussion about our schedule that day then?]

[Yeah, I don’t have any objection. The wavelengths of the time that we tick should be aligned in order to be ready for the festival. We can either select a place of appointment, or perhaps, we can have this place as the place of appointment……]

[Yeah, that’s certainly troubling. I’d like to preview the site in advance, either the day before or at some point. Since our stall itself can be transported using the magic box, there isn’t really any need for us to set it up the day before, but if we could visit the location in advance, I can register it with my Teleportation Magic Tool, allowing us to meet up on-site.]

[I see, preparations certainly are important. Confirming our Utopia once…… Let’s think about this subject.]

After consulting with Amel-san,……we decided to visit the location of our stall together before the Founding Festival, register the coordinates in my Teleportation Magic Tool, and then we’d meet at the site on the day of the festival.

The area around the Central Plaza where the ceremony is to be held is supposed to be enclosed in a Teleportation Inhibition Ward, but the area where Amel-san and I will be setting up our stall doesn’t seem to have such a problem, so we can teleport there with Teleportation Magic.

At any rate, now that everything is ready…… I guess I should write a letter to Chris-san. Including the fact that I also made original accessories……

In her office in the Royal Castle of Archlesia Empire, Chris had a nervous look on her face in front of the letter she received from Kaito. Unusually for her, she looked hesitant, or perhaps afraid, and couldn’t bring herself to open the seal of the letter.

Given that the presence of the three Supreme Gods has already been confirmed, for Chris, who reached a state of needing to take stomach medicines despite feeling grateful for how bustling this year’s Founding Festival will be, the contents of this letter from Kaito are incredibly important.

After thinking about it for a while, Chris made up her mind, opened the envelope and after carefully reading through the letter…… she blankly stared into the empty space, seemingly burnt out.

Seeing her expression as if she had given up on everything, her advisor who was waiting by her side flusteredly called out to her.

[Y- Your Majesty? Are you alright?]

[……It’s over…… The carnival of hell is about to begin.]

[……C- Could it be……]

[He apparently made them, original accessories…… Moreover, only a few of them would be available in his stall……]

In Kaito’s letter, it was written that he made original accessories and that only a few of them were displayed in their stall. This would definitely lead to the start of a blood-soaked conflict.

Seeing the despair on Chris’ face, her advisor…… didn’t look pale, as she spoke with a small smile on her lips.

[Yeah, don’t worry about that.]

[ ! ? ! ? ]

As Chris looked surprised at the sudden change of tone of her advisor, immediately after that, her advisor’s appearance blurred and changed to that of Alice.

[A- Alice-sama!? S- Since when have you…… No, I see…… You have already replaced her when that letter was brought here?]

[Yes, I’ve given your advisor another job under Chris’ name, and she should be back in about 15 minutes. And so, going back to business…… Well, you don’t have to worry. Regarding Kaito-san’s self-made accessories, almost no information about them is leaked at the moment. I’ve told Amel-san and Kaito-san in advance not to tell about this to others, while I’ve tampered with Kuro-san’s necklace while they were making them, so the only people who would know about Kaito-san’s accessories are Kaito-san, Amel-san, Chris-san…… and those Creator Gods lurking around Kaito-san.]

[……C- Can I be relieved hearing that?]

[For the time being, regarding those Creator Gods, it seems that as a result of mutual restraint, neither of them will participate in the Founding Festival, and Kaito-san will probably do something about Shallow Vernal-sama.]

Hearing Alice’s words, Chris thought for a moment and then patted her chest in relief. Her biggest concerns, Shallow Vernal and Eden, wouldn’t make a move, and Alice has blocked information about this matter towards the other Six Kings.

In that case, there was a good chance that the conflict she feared wouldn’t occur, and they would also likely avoid a situation where the Six Kings would suddenly decide to participate with Kaito as their purpose.

[……Well, I’m not saying they won’t ever find out, so I think it’s best if you stay vigilant. That said, you can still be relieved to some extent, right?]

[……T- Thank you very much. M- My stomach really hurt and I was in despair because of this.]

[No, no, don’t mention it. Well, if I don’t follow up on this much…… In any case, I’ll be excusing myself here……]

After saying that, Alice disappeared, while the left behind Chris stroked her chest in relief…… However, even excluding Kaito’s original accessories, the Founding Festival, with the confirmed participation of the three Supreme Gods and two of the Six Kings, is already an astounding event. Regardless, recalling the days of stomachache that lay ahead of her, Chris took out her stomach medicine from the drawer.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [That’s a nice follow-up. Alice, even with how she usua…… Wait? In the first place, wasn’t it because she gave those strange kits that those original accessories were completed? Then, isn’t this situation just something you intentionally instigated!?]
