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

Cento-san seemed somewhat bewildered, but the moment I took out the porcelain Nebula had made, her eyes widened, and she began staring at it intently.

Incidentally, what I brought this time was a jar, designed with a landscape resembling my garden.

[……U- Unbelievable…… T- There’s no doubt that the colors weren’t added later but were applied with glaze before firing————- otherwise, this kind of color depth wouldn’t be possible. But, eh? T- Ten colors? No way, not even six colors have ever been perfectly achieved…… But, this firing technique is undeniably the same as Symphonia’s Five-Color Ceramics…… N- No, even if a new method or glaze made this possible, to apply glaze in ten different colors and achieve such perfect hues…… W- What incredible craftsmanship……]

[Hmmm, my impression is just that it’s a really pretty jar, but if Cento-san is that surprised, it must be amazing, right?]

[A- Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe it! This is something that could significantly change the history of ceramics!!!]

It seemed that the new method and glazes Nebula had developed were even more remarkable than I had thought. Cento-san was giving off the same kind of energy as Ein-san and Jutia-san when they talked about the tea revolution.

[This is a masterpiece that must have taken an extremely long time, refined through relentless research and experimentation…… U- Unn? Now that I think about it, Kaito-san? Didn’t you say you were planning to buy a kiln during Symphonia Kingdom’s last Founding Festival?]

[Eh? Oh, yeah, we bought the kiln after Symphonia Kingdom’s Founding Festival…… As for that ten-color piece, judging from what she said, I think she only started working on it about a month ago.]

[Ehhhhh…… A- A month…… You mean, this was done in just a month? T- True, revolutionary ideas don’t always require long periods of time, but still, this is unbelievable. For the foreseeable future, Nebula-san will have a monopoly on this groundbreaking technique. Once word gets out, other potters will likely attempt it, but it will take them a considerable amount of time to reach this level…… Right now, you could say Nebula-san is at the very forefront of pottery innovation.]

[Ah, but it seems Nebula doesn’t really care much about keeping it to herself. She plans to spread the method and glaze formula through Lilia-san.]

[Ehhhh…… N- No, no, this is definitely the kind of achievement that will leave a huge mark on pottery history……]

In reality, Nebula had absolutely no interest in going down in history as a potter. To her, pottery was just another hobby, and she had no intention of using it to gain wealth or fame. She seemed more than willing to spread the new technique as soon as possible.

As the corners of Cento-san’s lips twitched in disbelief, Tre-san, nonchalant with what’s going on, opened her mouth to speak.

[Well, how they handle their developments is up to the creator. Some people want to monopolize their techniques for wealth and fame, while others don’t mind spreading them. If Cento-san’s words are correct, then the spread of this technique will bring significant advancements in the field of ceramics. Plus, if the new method is refined in different ways, it might lead to even more varieties of pottery being created.]

[T- That is indeed wonderful. In particular, Symphonia Kingdom’s pottery has perfected the Five-Color Ceramics to such an extent that even reducing it to Four-Color Ceramics has been too difficult and has fallen out of use. If a new technique can push the field forward, that is something to celebrate. I, too, would love to learn about this method myself.]

[I’ll have to check with Nebula first, but I believe I can share the details with you. In fact, it seems that the new technique will also be used in a new service launching under Nifty’s brand…… According to Nebula, while ten colors are difficult, achieving seven colors is relatively easy.]

[T- That’s still astonishing…… I- I can’t quite hide my bewilderment at how my common sense is being shattered in an instant…… But if it’s truly possible to fire pottery with seven colors, then I’m excited to see the results.]

I was fairly certain there wouldn’t be any major issues, but to begin with, even if I were to learn about this new technique from Nebula and try to explain it to Cento-san, I didn’t feel confident that I could convey it properly.

So, I figured I’d have Nebula write down a memo or something to pass the information along.

[Oh, and as for that jar, I’ve already gotten permission from Nebula, so if you’d like, Cento-san can have it.]

[Fueeeh…… W- Wouldn’t displaying it in a museum be the right answer……? I- I feel like I understand a little of what Lilia-san goes through now……]

As Cento-san gazed off into the distance, her expression…… somehow resembled the one Lilia-san often had.
