Thank you as always, and sorry to keep you waiting! Here is the release date and cover reveal for Volume 9 of the manga adaptation!

The release date will be September 24! Here is the official site from KADOKAWA:

[I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace – Manga Adaptation (KADOKAWA official site)]

And here’s the cover!

It features the very cool Alice-chan. Alice sure is an all-rounder, she can handle serious scenes, comedy, and even romance.

I had already shared some with Tre-san, and thanks to the cooperation of Funf-san and Sechs-san, the teleportation magic tool was quickly completed. Since I had come all the way to Kuro’s castle, I figured that if there were any other acquaintances available, I might as well give them some too.

[Yeah, it really is tasty. I like it too.]

[Yes! This is a ripple from the western part of the Archlesia Empire, isn’t it? It’s a different variety from Raz’s ripple, but this kind is also very delicious!]

Checking with the hummingbird, I saw that Raz-san had some free time, so I went to the farm and shared some ripples with her. She was really happy and reacted in such an adorable way that it warmed my heart as well.

[Raz-san, your ripples have that refreshing sweetness with perfect balance, right? That one’s really delicious too. But still, that’s amazing, you can tell where a ripple comes from just by tasting it?]

[Raz really loves fruits, so Raz can usually tell~~ There are lots of different varieties of ripples~~ There are red ones like Raz’s ripple and this one, and even green ones that stay green even when ripe~~]

[I see. You sure know a lot, Raz-san.]

[Ehehe, I just happened to know about it~~ But this ripple is really, really delicious. Raz loves it too!]

[I got it from a lady named Marie of the Ritch Barony in Archlesia Empire, but according to her letter, they don’t really sell it much elsewhere, so they end up with a surplus.]

[Ahh~~ that’s rough. Raz understands how that feels very well. Before Kaitokun-san introduced Raz to Kaori-san, there was too much rice piling up, and Raz didn’t know what to do.]

Come to think of it, that was true. Before I introduced Kaori-san, Raz-san had been troubled because she had too much rice. But since Kaori-san runs a diner, even though it’s a personal business…… her consumption of rice as an establishment was on a completely different scale. After the introduction, Raz-san had been overjoyed, saying she was able to “sell a lot of rice”.

[If you don’t mind, if Raz-san knows anyone who also likes ripples, could you tell them? If sales go up, I’m sure Marie-san will be happy too.]

[Yes! Raz has lots of friends, so Raz’ll tell them too!]

[Thank you very much.]

Well, it might just be a small push, but if it helps raise sales even a little, it’s worth it. I decided that I would casually introduce the Ritch Barony’s farm to acquaintances whenever I shared some.

While we were talking like that, a bright, familiar voice called out.

[Raz-sama~~! I came to visit…… Aya!? Kaitokun-san is here too!]

[Ah, it’s Tir! Welcome!]

[Hello, Tir-san. What a coincidence.]

The one who showed up was Tir-san, and as always, she seemed close with Raz-san, probably often playing together. After a light greeting, the conversation turned to what we had been doing, so I mentioned that I had brought some ripples as a gift to share.

[If you’d like, Tir-san, please have some too.]

[Thank you! Tir really likes ripples, so Tir is very happy.]

[Tir~~ there are some already cut up over here, so you should try them~~]

[Okay, I’ll dig in! !? Hawawawa, this ripple is super delicious!]

Her reaction was almost identical to Raz-san’s, and honestly, it was adorable. The way Raz-san and Tir-san acted and reacted together was just so cute that simply watching them was very soothing.

[Marie-san, from the Ritch Barony in Archlesia Empire, is a friend of Kaitokun-san’s. It seems she’s having a hard time with sales, so Tir, if you don’t mind, could you also introduce her ripples to your friends too?]

[Yes! Tir also has lots of friends, so I’ll make sure to introduce Marie-san’s ripples properly!]

Hearing Raz-san’s words, Tir-san gladly promised to help spread the word as well. Like Raz-san, Tir-san seemed sociable with many friends, so I thought this might really turn out well, and continued happily chatting with the two of them.

<Afterword>

Stomachache Devil : [Heeeeere’s the second one!]

Serious-senpai : [Oi, cut that out, that’s the kind of thing that goes on for five rounds straight, isn’t it……?]

? ? ? : [Raz-san (super popular, tons of friends), Tir-san (super popular, tons of friends)…… No doubt they’re gonna be selling hot. Well, anyway, more importantly, the cover of the manga adaptation’s Volume 10…… What in the world, there’s a transcendental beauty gracing the cover. This is one of those times where you have no choice but to bulk-buy!]

Serious-senpai : [……I just witnessed some shameless self-promotion. But well, since this cover has a serious vibe, I personally rate it pretty highly.]
