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

The MK Royale is, of course, already highly anticipated, but once the family crest custom service for ceramics begins next month, there's no doubt it will attract even more attention.

And now, I was being shown a vividly colored ceramic piece made with a new technique by Nebula, who had been working on a sample.

[Ceramics can bring out colors this beautifully huh.]

[We've put a lot of effort into it. But, well, it's not just about using more colors. When the service officially launches, we'll need to adjust the designs based on the orders. This time, since it's a prototype, we used all ten colors but……]

[Even with ten colors, it doesn't feel too flashy; it still makes for a beautiful design. As expected of Nebula.]

[I'm Absolute after all!]

As Nebula puffed up her small chest with pride, I gently patted her head and turned my attention to the vase in front of me. This one didn't have a family crest; instead, the ten colors formed a vibrant pattern purely for aesthetic appeal.

[The technique isn't something that needs to be kept secret, so I shared it with Lilia-san. Since she has connections among the nobility, I thought it might be useful. Lilia-san herself doesn't seem particularly interested, but it looks like one of the merchant groups funding her handles ceramics.]

[I see……]

Was it just my imagination, or did I just get a fleeting vision of Lilia-san scolding me? N- No, but when I saw her not too long ago, she didn't seem particularly upset…… Ah~~ wait, now that I think about it, she did look as if she was holding something back.

I can't say for sure that it's my fault, but since I'm involved, I wouldn't be surprised if she has some complaints.

……She does like beef skewers, right? I'll bring her some as a peace offering next time.

W- Well, anyway, setting thoughts about Lilia aside for now and refocused on the ceramic piece in front of me. Since Nebula had put in a lot of effort, there was no doubt it was a magnificent work.

Even as an amateur, I could tell the craftsmanship was outstanding, and anyone knowledgeable would surely be impressed…… Ah, speaking of which……

[Now that I think about it, Cento-san, someone from Kuro's place, is really into ceramics. When we talked about the magic kiln before, she mentioned wanting to see Nebula's work. Would it be okay to show her this?]

[Yes! Of course, I don’t mind. If I recall correctly, her twin, Cien-san, prefers glassware, doesn't she?]

[Unn, she's more into interior decor pieces rather than tableware.]

[In that case, I have some glassworks that might be a good fit. Would you like to bring those along as well?]

[Ah, that sounds great. Then, I guess I'll take both the ceramics and the glass pieces and go visit Tre-san.]

According to Nebula, this piece was made using a new technique and a special glaze different from anything before. Given Cento-san's knowledge of ceramics, she would likely appreciate it.

When I asked if it would be okay to give the pieces to Cento or Sien if they liked them, Nebula had no objections at all.

The ceramics were just prototypes, and as for the glassworks, it seemed she had been making a lot of them with Illness-san, so they had plenty to spare.

For now, I decided to check with Tre-san later via hummingbird, and in the meantime, I gently patted Nebula, who was sitting cutely on my lap.

[I know Nebula is amazing, but you've been working really hard lately, so I'm just a little worried. I hope you're not too tired…… If there's anything I can do for you, I'd like to help.]

[It's not a problem. The store operations and product planning are handled by Canalis-san and Anima-san, so I'm simply creating things as part of my hobby and enjoying myself. However, I can't just ignore Milord's kindness in wanting to reward me. So, in that case, as a token of appreciation for my efforts, you may pet me! It's quite pleasant after all……]

[Calling it a reward sounds a bit much, but if it makes you happy, then I'm glad.]

[This is special, you know? As Absolute as I am, I'm normally the one who grants rewards, not the one receiving them. But for Milord, I'll make an exception.]

[Ahaha, I see. Well, that's an honor.]

Following Nebula's request, I gently patted her head as softly as possible, to which her eyes narrowed in contentment, clearly enjoying it. With her small frame, she looked incredibly adorable, and somehow, petting her felt soothing for me as well.
