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

Chapter 1766: Tea Party with Illness ?

<Author’s Notes>

I still haven’t completely recovered yet, so today’s chapter is a little short.

The tea party with Illness-san naturally turned into idle chatter. When Illness-san and I were chatting, Illness-san usually takes on the role of the listener, and this time as well, I talked about various things while Illness-san seemed to enjoy listening.

[I seeeeee, tea bags huuuuuh. That does sound like a very interesting produuuuuct. Even an amateur can brew tea easily with iiiiiiit, so it certainly iiiiiiis convenient.]

[Yes…… Well, of course, they wouldn’t taste as great as tea made by someone actually skilled.]

In this conversation, since Illness-san seemed interested in the world I came from, so while we were talking about tea, I introduced her to tea bags.

Come to think of it, I don’t think tea bags exist in this world. It’s possible that I just don’t know about them and they might actually exist somewhere, but at the very least, I have never seen them.

Rather, the tea that Nebula made this time, which can be brewed deliciously even by those with low skills, seemed to be quite new and everyone was surprised and impressed.

Thinking about it again, tea bags are an even simpler version of this for the general public, so it’s possible that such a thing could be developed in the future. I mean, I don’t know if it’s possible to make them, but I think it would be a good idea to propose such a thing.

Well, even though I say that, the brand we’re launching is aimed at the wealthy, so I’d have to talk to Kuro or someone like her to sell it to the general public……

[By the way, I heard from Frea-san before that Illness-san used to travel around the Demon Realm……]

[Yeeeees, that certainly happeeeeeeened. It was quiiiiiiiite a long time ago, but I have traveled all over the place.]

I’ve been the one telling my story up until now, but upon closer reflection, I feel like I don’t know much about Illness-san. When we usually talk, Illness-san is basically the listener and doesn’t often talk much about herself.

I’m particularly interested in her stories before she became a maid in the royal castle, as I don’t know much about how she was like back then. Of course, if Illness-san doesn’t want to talk about it, I don’t intend to force her to talk at all……

[Errr, Illness-san. If you don’t want to, feel free to say no, but I’d like to hear some stories back of your past…… but is that no good?]

[Stories of my paaaast? I’m fine with thaaaaat, but it’s not like there were any dramatic eveeeeents, so it might not be that interesting, you knoooooow?]

[Yes. Even still, I’m fine with that. How should I say this, I guess I want to get to know Illness-san more…… so I don’t really mind if it were not exciting. It could be about that time before you worked as a maid in the royal castle or stories from the days you were traveling in the Demon Realm…….]

Hearing what I said, a gentle smile appears on Illness-san’s lips.

[Kuhihi, when you say it like thaaaaaat, I can’t really refuse. Well theeeeen, it’s not a particularly interesting storyyyyyyyy, but back in the old Demon Realm, when I was traveling…… let’s seeeeee…… I suppose I’ll talk about the reasoooooons that led me to start my journey.]

Apparently not particularly averse to talking about it, in a calm tone of voice, Illness-san started sharing her stories from the past.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Speaking of which, I feel like Illness herself rarely talked about her past.]
