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

In the office of the royal castle in Symphonia Kingdom, King Ryze and Crown Princess Amalie were discussing about a letter they had just received from Kaito.

[It’s truly fortunate that Nifty is opening a store for us. Nifty's products have become the talk of high society, to the point where not owning one is considered out of touch. Up until now, the items were being distributed in limited quantities across multiple trading companies and stores, so having a dedicated store is a great relief.]

[Yeah, and they're apparently planning to open stores in the three countries simultaneously…… It’s a considerate move, balancing relations between nations. I feel sorry for the trouble this must have caused Miyama-kun, but given his influence, this arrangement is greatly appreciated.]

The tea brand Kaito established has become a huge hit among the nobility. Kaito himself was already well-known within the nobility, and the products he offers are so exceptional that the brand is rapidly gaining a strong reputation, not just among the nobles but also among tea enthusiasts.

Until now, the brand’s items were only available through consignment, so access to them varied depending on one’s connections with the trading companies or stores involved. This created disparities even among the nobility, with some finding it easy to acquire the products and others struggling.

However, with Kaito establishing a dedicated store, a certain level of fairness can be ensured. Foolish nobles who might try to exert pressure on Kaito’s stores have already been dealt with by the Mad God from the other world, and for Ryze and the other rulers, this will reduce complaints from the nobility and make inventory management much easier.

[……The representative seems to be someone named Canalis…… Does that name ring any bells?]

[No, at least, not to my knowledge…… However, it’s stated that this person will not only represent Symphonia Kingdom's store but also Nifty itself, so I assume they possess the necessary capabilities.]

[Given that they'll be entrusted with Miyama-kun’s brand, someone unqualified wouldn’t satisfy figures like the Phantasmal King or the Underworld King. It’s possible that they might have sent a capable person from their camps…… We should look into it just in case.]

[Understood. As for the land provided for the store…… Considering it will be a luxury-oriented shop and its proximity to Miyama-sama’s residence, I believe this street would be most suitable. Securing the land early was the right decision.]

[We anticipated that eventually, stores would be established…… If Miyama-kun has no objections, let’s have him open his store in this location.]

This situation wasn't just limited to Symphonia Kingdom, as the other countries had also gathered information indicating that Kaito’s tea brand would eventually open their own stores, and they had secured suitable land for when that time came.

For now, things were proceeding as planned, and with this in mind, Ryze and Amalie began discussing the contents of their reply letter to Kaito…… However, later on, they would find themselves troubled by the fact that no matter how much they searched, they couldn’t find any information about the person named Canalis. But that’s a story for another time.

At the same time, in the office of the royal palace in the Hydra Kingdom, Laguna was reading a letter that had just arrived from Kaito.

[Well, yes, this is how things would unfold…… The location I’ve secured is good, so there’s no problem…… Unn? Ahh, they've appointed a representative huh. That makes sense, having young Anima also look after the stores would place her under a lot of pressure, so selecting another representative is certainly effec…… tive……]

[Your Majesty?]

As Laguna muttered to herself while reading the letter, she suddenly stiffened, her expression one of astonishment. Seeing this, her attendant tilted their head in confusion and called out to her.

However, Laguna didn’t seem to hear the voice of her attendant; instead, she was lost in thought, perplexed.

(C- C- C- Canalis-sama!? W- Why is that person…… This shouldn't be just two people having the same name…… No, now that I think about it, she did say that the reason she joined my party was to meet Kaito. It must be Canalis-sama.)

Among the three kings, only Laguna was aware of Canalis’s existence. In fact, for Laguna, Canalis was someone she owed a great debt to———— someone she holds faith towards, although that's something she keeps to herself because holding faith to an Otherworld God, given her position, would be quite problematic.

After all, ever since Canalis had raised Laguna's growth limit, she had felt a tangible sense of progress in her daily training. It was as if she had returned to her younger days, making each day an absolute joy. She was deeply grateful from the bottom of her heart.

(I’m honestly delighted to be able to see her again. But if that’s the case…… the representative of Kaito's tea brand would be an Omnipotent God…… That guy really is beyond extraordinary…… However, if I’m preparing land for Canalis-sama, I should reconsider…… It might be better to have it closer to the temple…… No, Canalis-sama isn't one of our Gods, so would it perhaps be better to have it away from the temple? Hmmm…… I’ll need to reevaluate the location.)

While the land Laguna had secured was quite good, she felt she needed to consider more carefully if she was preparing it for someone she owed so much to like Canalis. With this in mind, Laguna pulled out a map of the Capital and began pondering with a serious expression.

It would be some time before Laguna finally heard her attendant’s voice again.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Of course. There's no way they'd dig out any information about her……. So that means, to everyone except Laguna, she's gonna look like some mysterious unknown entity that was suddenly chosen out of nowhere……]
