I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 1089 – Tea Revolution ②

In front of me, Lilia-san is drinking a cup of tea. I don’t know if it’s as one expected from a noble or not, but the way Lilia-san drinks her tea is somewhat elegant.

Incidentally, the tea that Lilia-san is drinking right now is tea Illness-san brewed by adding the tea leaves made by Nebula.

[……This is wonderful. The taste of tea, which I should have been familiar with, seems to have been raised to a higher level that I can’t help but feel moved. It is no exaggeration to say that this would really bring about a revolution in the tea industry.]

[Yeah, I was really surprised when I tasted it too. Nebula said we were just overreacting, but I think this was an amazing tea.]

The tea leaves made by Nebula, when handled well, raise the greatness of tea. They are an enhancer, so to speak, versatile tea leaves that can be used for all kinds of tea by changing the base tea leaves.

Lilia-san seemed impressed with the taste of the tea, and after a short conversation about her impressions, she let out a sigh before changing the subject.

[Even if that’s so, it’s difficult to master…… Incidentally, Luna, can you master the usage of these tea leaves?]

[Let me get this straight with you, okay!? I can’t do it!!!]

[F- For you to declare it that strongly……]

[No, seriously, if people with skills like Illness-san and Nebula call it “difficult”, it’d be something that is just merely impossible for people like me. It requires extremely delicate adjustments, as even the slightest error in factors such as the ratio of tea leaves, the amount of hot water poured, the temperature and humidity of the day and other such things can ruin the flavor of the tea. I tried it, but it just made the tea taste like “sloppy tea”, and didn’t enhance the flavor of the tea at all.]

Luna-san said she tried to learn how to make it from Illness-san in the kitchenette when she brewed tea for Lilia-san…… As I had expected, the level of difficulty that Illness-san and Nebula speak may be on a whole different level.

[These certainly are tea leaves that turn “100 points tea to 120″…… but you need to have the skill to make a 100 points tea first. I think it’s impossible even for the Head Maid to make this.]

[It’s that difficult huh……]

[The only person other than those two who seem to be able to handle it is Sieg. In fact, Sieg seems to have figured out how to use it to some extent, and she’s in the kitchenette right now learning from the two of them.]

I didn’t realize it that much when she brewed me tea before, but Sieg-san apparently likes tea quite a lot, and her skill in making tea surpasses that of Luna-san and the Head Maid.

Thinking back on it, she was able to guess that what I brought back when I first met Shiro-san was Glorious Tea, which is said to be almost unavailable to the public, just by seeing the tea leaves, so her knowledge and skill must be of a considerable level.

Even so, these tea leaves may be something only the super skillful people can handle, for those who can handle it, it’s a wonderful tea leaf that could revolutionize tea culture.

I think Ein-san would have been able to use it, and since we’re at it, if Nebula is alright with it, I’ll share some to Kuro as a souvenir to Ein-san.

I feel like I’m kinda bragging about how our Nebula has made something amazing…… No, I know this isn’t something I should be bragging about but……

Demon Realm, in Kuromeuina’s castle, the castle’s King, Kuromueina, has a very troubled expression on her face. In front of her was Ein, who bowed deeply, as if she’s prostrating herself before her, and Razelia, who came with Ein to Kuromueina, who also had an indescribably troubled expression on her face.

[……Errr, Ein?]

[Please, Kuromu-sama! I need more of these tea leaves!]

[Aren’t those tea leaves the ones Kaito-kun gave me as a souvenir? I heard it was made by Nebula-chan…… Is it that great?]

[This is an item that will change the course of tea history! I thought I had mastered the art of tea making, an art closely related to the existence of us maids, but these tea leaves take the taste I thought I had mastered to an even higher level!!!]

[……U- Unnn. I’m not really sure if they’re closely related or not, but I can tell that it’s awesome stuff.]

[By all means, Kuromu-sama, please try it!]

Ein, looking more excited than ever, still brewed the best tea with perfect movements, as one would expect from her, and placed it in front of Kuromueina.

Taking a sip of it, Kuromueina’s eyes widened in surprise.

[……I see, this tea certainly is great. It’s obviously much tastier than usual, yet it doesn’t interfere with the original flavor of the tea at all.]

[I’d love to try more blends…… but for some reason, even though I’ve asked Razelia for help, she said “she can’t grow the same tea leaves”.]

[Hmmm. They’re mysterious. Even when Raz tried growing tea leaves based on them, they somehow turn out to be ordinary tea leaves. Raz thinks there must be some special treatment used during the growing process, but Raz has no idea what it is.]

Impressed by Nebula’s tea leaves, Ein wondered if she could somehow obtain some of them, but these tea leaves are basically made for the personal enjoyment of Kaito’s household and aren’t produced in large quantities.

Thereupon, she asked Razelia and Lillywood if she could make the same kind of tea leaves, but they were apparently unable to produce the same tea leaves.

In the end, having no way to solve this, she decided to negotiate directly with the maker of the said tea leaves, Nebula, and went to Kuromueina who was acquainted with her.

[……Haahhh…… Alright. For the time being, I’ll go ask Kaito-kun, but only after you calm down, okay? Nebula-chan will feel troubled if you go that excited.]

[Thank you very much!]

In the end, Kuromueina broke down upon Ein’s enthusiasm and decided to confirm with Kaito if she could introduce Nebula to Ein.

No, she originally could have introduced her without confirming with Kaito…… but seeing Ein relating this matter to maids…… she was hesitant if she should really introduce such an excited Ein to Nebula, afraid that Ein might scare her.

After warning Ein several times, Kuromueina let out a loud sigh before sending a hummingbird to Kaito.
