I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace
Chapter 2319: After the Birthday Party ⑬Regarding the castle where Kaito’s birthday party was held, guests weren’t required to leave immediately, they were welcome to use the lounge or other rest areas, and could leave whenever they wished.
Because of that, some guests who didn’t often get the chance to meet due to living far apart took the opportunity to chat in the lounge before heading home. Greene and Anne were among them, in similar circumstances, and wanting to talk things over, they too moved to the lounge rather than leaving right away.
[……Was it really fine not inviting the Yellow Pipe group?]
[They didn’t attend the last party on the ship, and for now, just us from Scarlet Blue and you from Black Muscat should be enough…… Also, they’re just too overbearing and annoying to deal with……]
Everyone who had even briefly spoken with Kaito before had been invited to the birthday party, not only Greene and Anne, but also the members of Scarlet Blue, Black Muscat, and the trio from Yellow Pipe.
[……Well, in any case, let’s just…… leave those four aside for now.]
[It can’t be helped. If we hadn’t attended the last ship party, we’d definitely be acting the same way……]
As Greene and Anne spoke, they glanced toward their respective teammates, who were either slumped lifelessly on the sofa or staring blankly up at the ceiling in a daze.
[……Arehh? That’s weird. No matter how long I wait, I’m not waking up from this dream…… Could this be the afterlife? Or maybe a world born from Greene-chan’s fantasies? I’ve always longed for high society, but this feels like something entirely different, literally another world……]
[Common sense…… Common sense doesn’t work here at all…… This is another world, right? Not just Trinia’s elites, but actual Gods from other worlds were here? That party Greene-san told us about, she wasn’t exaggerating the whole time……?][Our union leader is actually being favored by such an esteemed person? I seriously thought she was just being shy and dodging the truth……]
[Well, if it’s this kind of scale, I guess it makes sense that something like a magic box would be handed out as a party game prize. I really regret brushing off Anne-san’s story now……]
Both the Scarlet Blue and Black Muscat members had heard stories from Greene and Anne about the previous ship party, but because the content had sounded so far-fetched, they were half in doubt…… Today’s party, however, proved everything to be true. Completely overwhelmed by an event unlike anything they’d ever experienced, they were left stunned.
[……Well, I suppose one good side effect is that the misunderstandings got cleared up.]
[I am a bit irritated by their weird trust that I’d definitely be exaggerating everything, but sadly, this is so far beyond my imagination there’s no way I could exaggerate it.]
After exchanging glances and seeing the speechless expressions of their team members, Greene and Anne decided to get to the main topic.
[So then, Anne-san…… what do you think about the souvenirs we received this time?]
[Errr, the instant food items are no problem. It’s a joy to get our hands on a product that’s been practically impossible to buy due to its popularity, and being able to easily eat freshly made meals during mining breaks is a big plus. As for the commemorative coin…… it’s quite valuable, isn’t it?]
[It is. After all, it was only given to those who attended this party, meaning there are only about 500 of them in existence. That gives it real collector’s value.]
Yes, the reason Greene and Anne were sitting together now was to discuss the souvenirs that had been handed out to every party guest.
Having someone in a similar situation to talk to was better for one’s mental state, so the two of them decided to go over the items together.
[And now the issue is…… this wine, right? I honestly don’t know much about wine, but what about you, Anne-san?]
[Fuuu…… I long to be part of high society, and since high society and wine are deeply entwined, I’ve been training myself daily in imagining a wine-savvy version of myself…… but alas, I’ve yet to step outside the realm of imagination, so I can’t say I know much either.]
[So basically, we’re in the same boat, we don’t know the value of this.]
[Not quite, but rest assured! Just in case something like this happened, I came prepared!]
With a certain air of confidence, Greene took out her magic box. It was a pale orange color, about the size of a handbag, and though compact in capacity, it was an expensive luxury item that Greene had paid a considerable sum to obtain, something she used daily and took great pride in.
From inside it, she pulled out a book and placed it on the table.
[This here is the latest wine information magazine. I figured there was a chance we’d need some wine knowledge at a party like this, so I bought it and brought it along…… but the lodging we were guided to the day before the party was so spectacular that I completely forgot about it until now.]
[……I understand how you feel. I had trouble falling asleep myself…… Well, anyway, we don’t know if it’s in there, but let’s take a look.]
While they could tell the wine was high-end, they needed to know how high-end it was, after all, that would determine how carefully they’d need to store it. And so, Greene and Anne began flipping through the latest wine magazine together.
[……Ah! Isn’t this it!? There’s only a photo of the empty bottle, but the design matches!]
[It really does. Let’s see…… “An ultra-rare, top-tier wine sought after by wine enthusiasts around the world. Some claim it was crafted by God of Creator-sama herself, and it’s said only a few dozen bottles exist in the world. There have been no reports of it appearing on the market, but if it ever did, it would easily exceed 50 million R per bottle”…… hiiieee……]
[F- Fifty…… mil……!?]
Even though the article accounted for rarity at the time it was written, it estimated that the wine would go for at least 5 billion yen, and reading that, all the blood drained from Greene and Anne’s faces.
It went without saying that the two of them were just ordinary people, and when faced with such an outrageously expensive item, they had no idea how to store it properly…… Of course, there was no answer to be found, and both of them unconsciously clutched their stomachs with pale faces.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Six people suffering from stomachaches in a single chapter…… I’m impressed. Well, I suppose it makes sense they were invited, they do have some connection, after all……]
