Chapter 1541 - Omen ?
One fine morning, a hummingbird flew to my place early in the morning. Incidentally, one can tell whose hummingbird they are if they are registered with a special magic tool.
Well, hummingbirds normally wouldn’t be sent unless the magic wavelengths are registered with each other, but Count ranks can determine magic wavelengths just by looking at the recipient, so some people can send hummingbirds to those they’ve just met.
As for this time, this hummingbird seemed to have come from someone I know, of which magic wavelengths we had registered with each other…… Chris-san……
Even so, this is quite unusual, receiving a hummingbird from Chris-san. I basically often communicate with Chris-san not by hummingbird, but by letter. I remember her saying that she doesn’t use hummingbirds except for urgent matters, because the hummingbirds don’t allow her to use aristocratic techniques such as decorative words…… Does that mean today’s matter is urgent?
As I had such a question in mind, I touched the hummingbird, and written on it were the words “I would like to talk to you as soon as possible because I would like to confirm something about the details of the stall you will be opening with Amel-dono”.
Huh? The details of the stall? I certainly promised to open a stall with Amel-san, and I had left the application to her, who lives in Archlesia Empire……. but I wonder if she’s having trouble with Amel-san’s usual tone? I guess Chris-san, who was confused by her chuunibyou-ish application, noticed my name in the Stall Owner’s name section and contacted me.
Thinking so, I contacted Chris-san back via hummingbird. “Should we meet in person? If it’s convenient for Chris-san, I can go there right away”. In the case of communication through a hummingbird, there’s a limit on the number of characters a single hummingbird could send out, and explaining things through it would take time. And so, I thought it would be even better if we could meet and talk in person…… to which I immediately got a message stating “Please do come”, so I quickly made preparations and decided to head to the royal palace of the Archlesia Empire.
I had registered the area right in front of the palace as a point of teleportation, so it would be easy for me to come to visit her. Chris-san also seemed to have already talked to the gatekeeper, so I was immediately guided to Chris-san’s office.
Chris-san urged me to sit down on the sofa for reception, and Chris-san sat down opposite me, and someone who seemed like a maid brought me tea and tea cakes.
[……Miyama-sama, I’m very sorry for calling you so suddenly.]
[Ahh, no, please don’t worry about it. And so, we’re talking about Amel-san opening a shop, right?]
[Yes. We received an invitation from Amel-dono, but there’s a slight conundrum…… What exactly is this Chaos Regalia that you both would be dealing with……]
[……Errr, they’re “sundries”.]
[……Sundries?]
It seems that my guess was correct, as Amel-san seemed to have sent out her application with its chuuniness maxed out. She called it Chaos Regalia huh……
[Yes, I think the closest classification of them are sundries. They were originally items Alice made more as a joke…… party goods she made with the money she made from the Six Kings Festival, and the idea of setting up this shop started when Amel-san liked those and thought of handling such products.]
For the time being, I will explain to Chris-san the particulars, including the background of the matter. About how the products the shop Amel-san and I are handling will have various casual stuff, with a vibe similar to a flea market. It certainly would be appropriate to call them, but if we’re gonna be specific, we’re handing party goods made by Alice.
[Like a ball that produces a flashy effect when thrown with Illusion Magic or a sticker with a glowing pattern, they’re items Amel-san and I came up with and Alice made.]
[……A- Ahh, I see, so this Lord of Illusions Clad in Transient Garments in the Product Collaborations section……]
[Yes. In the first place, Amel-san and I just wanted to have fun hanging out in our stall together, so the products we were dealing with were just random stuff, so in addition to the party goods Alice made, we’d just gather up various stuff and put it alongside them, really having that flea market vibe to it.]
[……Fumu. That means, Miyama-sama would also bring something?]
[Eh? Yes, things like ceramic and woodwork.]
To tell the truth, Nebula and Illness-san seemed to have a lot of leftover ceramics and woodwork, so we decided to pack it along and sell it with the other stuff, really just like a flea market.
[……Incidentally, was Miyama-sama involved in the creation of these products?]
[I’m not. It’s just that our Nebula made some things as a hobby and she’s gathered a lot lately, but thinking that just disposing of those would be a waste, I asked her if we could sell them. In the first place, they were just made as a hobby, so the designs don’t have a set theme and are all over the place.]
[I see…… Phew, seems like it will be alright then.]
[Ah, but Amel-san said we should have a brand mark, so Nebula and I thought about it together and decided to put a simple logo mark on the ceramics and woodwork. It would be a logo of three mountains lined up together, using something like a pun on my name. In our world, three, in addition to “san”, could be spoken as “mittsu”, while mountain is spoken as “yama”, so “mittsu yama”. Remove the “tsu”, and you get my surname, Miyama.]
[……………………My apologies, regarding that part…… Can you please tell me more about it?]
Until a while ago, Chris-san looked relieved, but when she heard the words I just said, she asked that with a pale expression on her face. I don’t really know why, but for some reason, I felt that Chris-san’s face at that time was very similar to Lilia-san’s expression when she was enduring stomach ache.
<Afterword>
? ? ? : [H- Hey, see that, Makina!? It’s not like Kaito directly made them! That’s why, stay!]
Makina : [……Ah, y- you’re right……. U- Uuuu, what should I do about this heightened love power for my child? My frustration is about to explode, you know?]
? ? ? : […….Isn’t it fine to attack with all your might in that direction over there to relieve stress…… She’s apparently gonna revive in the next chapter anyway……]
