Chapter 1996: Canalis ⑬
In contrast, the store in Hydra Kingdom had a terrace seating in the café area, designed so that customers could view the sea. The exterior and interior also conveyed a sense of luxury while maintaining a casual atmosphere.
[……Honestly…… There\'s nothing to complain about.]
[Yeah, it\'s far better than what we had in mind, and it accurately reflects our requests. You\'ve even made fine adjustments based on the expected clientele. We could open these stores right now without any issues.]
[Tahaa~~ it\'s great to hear that from the two of you! Ahh, I’ve also customized the café menus for each of the three countries. While the basic lineup of teas remains the same, I\'ve prepared blends and limited-time items specific to each country. This way, people will be encouraged to visit stores in other countries as well.]
This seems like a very effective strategy. A store-exclusive menu naturally piques interest, and since Nifty is a tea brand targeting the wealthy, many of its customers likely have the means to travel to other countries.
[In that case, it might be good to have original products for each store.]
[Ah, actually, Nebula-san also had the same idea and created new original tea leaves. Tahaa~~ Nebula-san\'s generosity is truly inspiring! Incidentally, each country has a simple, easy-to-understand name, consisting of the initials of each country\'s name followed by the word "leaf". Here are documents related to them. I’ve been entrusted with the brand expansion, so we’re also preparing for mass production.]
[Impressive quick work…… Fumu, I see…… Everything fits within the budget, or rather, it barely uses any of the budget. Canalis-dono, is this really alright?][It\'s alright. Since I’m involved, there’s no need to spend money on capital investments. I can create things after all…… As for cultivating the tea leaves, I\'ve created dedicated jiangshis…… Ahh, errr, you call them Golems in this world, right? I create and control them, so there\'s no labor cost. I\'ve already obtained permission from Shallow Vernal on this matter, so everything\'s good to go. Tahaa~~ I guess it\'s fine to claim myself a capable woman, right?]
(T/N: Canalis described them as 躯体/Mukuro-tai, 躯 means corpse,体 means body. To put it simply, 躯体 would mean something along the lines of reanimated corpse. An undead being that has a physical body of its own. Zombies would be more of Rasal\'s thing, so I translated 躯体 as jiangshi.)
Putting aside claims, she certainly is capable…… Despite the fact that the letters with location suggestions from each country haven\'t even arrived yet, it seems like almost all the preparations for opening have already been completed———— too quickly, in fact.
Well, when I left the work to her, she seemed highly motivated despite her expressionless demeanor, so maybe she was really eager to get things done.
[Well, that said, there are still many things to consider, like the café menu, and I’d like to hear everyone\'s opinions. I’ve eaten many things in various worlds, so I have plenty of experience…… but I\'d like you to check if the flavors are suitable for this world. Tahaa~~ it looks like I\'ll be able to serve homemade food to Kaito-sama!]
Canalis-san’s expression remains unchanged, but she seems to be having fun, and hearing her voice somehow makes me feel warm inside.
But setting that aside…… Nebula\'s new tea leaves huh…… There will definitely be people who react to that. I’d better tell them to place direct orders in advance……
[Speaking of which, until now, we’ve been having Anima handle it, but from now on, should I have my friends’ orders go through Canalis-san instead?]
[Yes, if you could direct them to me, that would be fine. Actually, how about I create some kind of magic tool for it? One that could function like a tablet from Kaito-sama\'s world. By operating this magic tool, they could place their orders, eliminating the hassle of sending letters and such.]
[……Can something like that really be created?]
[I just quickly used omniscience to check, and with the current techniques and magic crystals available in this world, it’s definitely possible to make. This world already has magic tools that can transfer documents placed in a box to a paired magic tool, so I think we can adapt that. Well, it won’t have many functions, but it should work fine for placing orders.]
[I see, then in that case, please go ahead.]
[Leave it to me!]
Hmm, she really is incredibly capable. It seems there’s no issue leaving everything related to the tea brand entirely in Canalis-san’s hands.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Well, being omnipotent is already a complete cheat, so she can really do anything.]
? ? ? : [As long as it doesn\'t require permission from Shallow Vernal-sama or violate any contracts, it seems like she can handle anything. Since she\'s pretty considerate, it looks like she would do a great job even if we leave everything to her.]
