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

Chapter 1745: Launch of a New Brand ②

Though I say that, I’m a complete amateur, so I told Anima to reject any strange ideas I might suggest.

[The logo could just be the one we originally used, right?]

[Indeed. There are already many of those teacups on the market, so I think it’s better to leave it as it is rather than forcibly changing up the logo. We’re also making progress in arranging places and personnel to produce the cups and other ceramics and to cultivate the tea leaves made by Nebula.]

[As expected of Anima, you work really fast…… Even so, these tea leaves…… sure are amazing. When I brewed it according to the memo, even I could brew a pretty authentic tea……]

[That’s right. The tea is, of course, of high quality, but the fact that taste is less likely to vary depending on the amount of tea leaves and steeping time is amazing. Even if the brewer is a bit rough with the quantity or time, you could brew something tasty.]

Yes, just as she declared, Nebula finished the tea leaves the next day. Unlike the difficult-to-handle tea leaves from before, which were suitable for advanced users, the tea leaves she made this time are easy to handle and suitable for beginners. As Anima mentioned, even if brewed somewhat casually, one can make authentic and delicious black tea.

Moreover, it’s not entirely geared towards complete beginners. Surprisingly, this new tea seems to offer a wide range of adjustments in taste when combined with those tea leaves from last time, so it appears to be enjoyable for advanced tea lovers as well. Even Illness-san, who accompanied us for the tasting, was very interested and tried various adjustments for distribution.

Incidentally, as a side note, Nebula’s first tea leaves for professionals will also be sold in small quantities per month under the newly established brand. The tea will be sold in small quantities per month, with a clear explanation that it’s for professionals and is difficult to handle.

[……That said, those tea leaves could really only be handled by top-notch maids. How about this, since we will be cooperating with the World Maid Association, we can only have it so they’re sold only to those that meet certain standards?]

[Ahh~~ Indeed, if someone who can’t handle it uses it, it will just ruin the taste. Then, having a qualification system would be good…… Hmm?]

[……Ein-dono?]

When I reacted to the voice that had seamlessly entered the conversation and shifted my gaze, there I found a person who shouldn’t have been here…… Ein-san. Moreover, the nonchalant expression on her face seemed to imply she was involved in this matter……

I’m not sure if she appeared really suddenly or not, but Anima is also looking at Ein-san with a surprised expression on her face.

[Ein-san? Why are you here?]

[As expected, when it comes to setting up a tea brand, I thought you’d need advice from a top-notch maid…… and also…… I heard that Nebula-sama had new tea leaves!!!]

[That’s definitely what you’re after, isn’t it!? I mean, how did you even get that information……]

[Us Maids must always be sensitive to information, so even if it isn’t as strong as Shalltear’s, it’s natural for a maid to have a powerful information network.]

Like hell it’s natural for spy-like maids to exist…… I mean, I did have the feeling that she would get wind of this at some point and be interested in it…… but she seriously went here within a day.

I think she got wind of it through Anima’s various connections while Anima was preparing the launching of our brand, and she came here immediately, but in any case, she’s fast.

[And so, where are the rumored tea———– leaves?]

Ein-san was talking excitedly, but her words stopped when a small hand was placed on her shoulder. There, having appeared out of nowhere, was Kuro, with a smile that somehow radiated pressure.

[K- K- K- Kuromu-sama?]

[Ein? I’ve always told you this, didn’t I? You having your obsession with maids and stuff is fine, but don’t let it get out of control and cause trouble for others……]

[Ah, no…… It’s just…… the Maid Spirit overflowing within me can’t be contained……]

That Ein-san has gotten unusually pale and flustered. I mean, judging by Kuro’s tone, it seems like she had pulled something like this off multiple times in the past……

[Come on, you’re bothering Kaito-kun and the others, so let’s go back home.]

[Ahh, but at least let me get some of those new tea leaves…… They’re definitely gonna be amazing!]

[No. I’ll get those for you next time, so just be patient.]

[Uuuu……. No way……]

[Well then, Kaito-kun, Anima-chan, we’re sorry for interrupting you.]

With those words, Kuro apologized with a remorseful expression on her face, and quite literally dragged along the teary-eyed Ein-san. Unnn, well, although the preparations are still far from complete, once the production system for tea leaves and such is in place, let’s send our products as presents to them right away.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Come to think of it, she was dragged away and lectured by Kuro a while back for pushing Kaito’s mother into becoming a maid……]
