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

Chapter 1754: Original Blend ③

<Author’s Notes>

I don’t have time, so today’s chapter is a bit short.

I wrap the packaged original blend to give to my acquaintances. Though I say that, Nebula provided tea leaves blends similar to the one I made, and Illness-san prepared bags made of magic paper, so all I actually have to do is fill them and seal the bags…… Even still, I had quite a lot of fun thinking about what kind of magic paper to use among the various patterns available.

The ones I initially chose were one with roses depicted on it and one with starry skies on it. I put a portion of the tea leaves in each, sealed them up, and after lightly imbuing the paper with magic power, the inside was preserved using the same principle as a disposable Magic Box.

[There, done…… I’ll give the first two to Nebula and Illness-san……. No, we made these together, so I can’t really say it’s a gift or anything like that, but since we’re at it……]

[I appreciate Milord’s thoughtfulness.]

[And that’s whyyyyy you chose roses and starry skies, yeeeees? Thank you very much, Kaito-samaaaa.]

It goes without saying, but roses represent Illness-san, and I chose the starry skies because Nebula’s hair color somewhat resembles the night sky’s stars.

I gave them an impromptu gift to express my gratitude, but I’m glad they seemed to be pleased with it.

[Well then, let’s keep on making them. If I’m going to give them to everyone I know, that’d be quite a lot.]

[You’re riiiiight. It’s juuuust, it’s important not to strain ourselves persisting through iiiiiiit, so I’ll prepare us some light snacks that we enjoy in betweeeeeeen.]

[Thank you.]

Even though the task was simple, it seemed like it would take us a fair amount of time, so saying she would prepare us snacks, Illness-san left the room.

Once Illness-san comes back with the snacks, I’ll take a break, but until then, let’s try to make progress with the work as much as possible.

Walking out of the room where she was working with Kaito and Nebula and down the corridor, Illness looks at the small package in her hand.

It was a bag containing the original tea blend Kaito had given her earlier, and to put it simply, that’s all there is to it.

After staring at the bag for a few moments, Illness pulls out her favorite pocket watch from her pocket. Behind the rose-patterned pocket watch, Illness imbues magic power into the back cover, which slides open to reveal a space for a small object. Thereupon, as if handling a treasure, she placed the parcel with a powerful State Preservation Magic casted on it, closed the lid and sealed the pocket watch again.

[……I can’t seem to calm myself doooooown. Has calming myself doooooown…… always been this difficuuuuuult……]

The words Illness muttered softly as she began to walk were filled with slight bewilderment. The true nature of the fluffy feeling she had when she received the tea package from Kaito a while ago…… Illness quickly understood what that feeling was.

[……Seriouslyyyyyy, I’m becoming more and moooooore self-indulgent.]

Wryly smiling, Illness muttered and put away her pocket watch. On the back cover of the pocket watch, a face that seemed to have a blush on the cheeks was faintly reflected.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……In Illness’ case, she’s well aware of her feelings of love huh…… Kuh……]
