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

Chapter 1589 - End of Stomachache Festival ⑤

Roze-san stayed and helped out in the stall for a while before leaving after about an hour. After that, Amel-san and I just took it easy, and things were going very well, with nothing unusual happening.

The stall’s sales are doing well, with a moderate number of customers, neither too busy nor too slow. Even the chuuni goods are selling due to their ty, while surprisingly, the sales of the ceramics have also been good. I thought our pricing was too high for a festival stall but…… I just couldn’t understand why. Follow current novelenglish.net . s on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

[Heck, I wonder why all these people are dutifully buying only one set of the ceramics?]

[Indeed, that was a question I had as well. Although I could understand those lot who pooled their money and purchased a set as a group, they don’t seem interested in obtaining multiple lustrous items. How puzzling. Could it be that there’s a mysterious agreement in place for this festival?]

[An agreement that allows purchasing only a set of ceramics? Ahaha, that’s certainly an unusual agreement.]

[As expected, I may have jumped to conclusions too quickly. That aside, it’s a good thing that things are going well, and the end of the festival is not far away. The relics of darkness may not hold any limits, but as for our other items, we may have to reconsult with their origin.]

Just as Amel-san said, the inventory for chuuni goods was quite a lot, so it should be impossible for us to sell all of them, but the remaining quantity of ceramics and accessories is getting low, so we’d likely sell out before the festival ends.

However, as the ceramics and accessories decrease, the storefront is starting to feel a bit lonely.

[With gaps between our items becoming noticeable, the overall appearance of our stall doesn’t look good, don’t you think?]

[Indeed, empty spaces do give one a feeling of emptiness.]

[Ahh, then, why don’t we put up some of my weapons? I have a surplus of those weapons that Aoi-san and Hina-san didn’t buy……]

[…..Well, I guess that’s fine. Don’t put out something that’s too big though.]

To be honest, having party goods, pottery, accessories, and weapons all displayed in a single stall felt strange. However, once I became conscious of those empty spaces, I couldn’t help but want to fill them with something, so I decided to go along with Alice’s suggestion and arrange the weapons on display.

Though I say that, there really weren’t that many weapons added to the stall. They were just mostly knives, with a few swords on display.

After a few while after we laid out weapons for the time being, a pair of customers arrived and started looking at the weapons. A somewhat mage-like woman and a red-haired swordsman…… From the atmosphere around them, they seemed to be adventurers.

[……It looks like a very nice sword at a quick glance……]

[Ehh~~ But doesn’t it look more suspicious like that? We’re talking about a sword being sold in a festival stall, you know?]

[No, but I really have this good feeling about it…… Excuse me, you mind if I unsheathe this for a sec?]

[Ah, yes. I don’t mind, but please be mindful of your surroundings.]

The red-haired man asked me, to which I replied it was fine. Thereupon, the red-haired man, looking used to handling a sword, unsheathed the sword and gazed at the blade.

[Look, Nicole. It really is an amazing sword!]

[……H- Hmmm. It really does look nice and well-made. I mean, it even looks much better than the sword you’re using now, Leo.]

[Right? This is a lucky find!!!]

[……However, that makes me wonder more why such a high quality sword would be in a stall at a festival……]

The man and woman are whispering to each other, but I can’t make out the content of their conversation. From what I sense with my Sympathy Magic, the woman seems to be puzzled.

Hmmm, displaying weapons along with our lineup of items must be quite suspicious huh?

[……Ummm, how much is this?]

[That would be 5 copper coins.]

I answered the woman’s price inquiry. The pricing is set by Alice and is generally the same as the prices when the weapons are sold in my underground weapon shop back home. The sword that the red-haired man is currently holding is among the lowest quality among Alice’s weapons, and according to the person herself, they’re “draft swords made from leftover materials of other swords”, so it’s priced at around 50,000 yen.

[……See that, it really is suspicious! There’s no way a high-quality sword would be sold for just 5 copper coins! There definitely must be some kind of catch to it!]

[No, no, couldn’t these just be leftovers being sold? Besides, from the looks of it, there’s no magic casted on it, right?]

[From what I can tell, that is.]

[Then, it will be alright. You’re the magician I trust the most after all.]

[……Idiot.]

The two started whispering amongst themselves again, but the man finally ended up buying the sword. As we watched the backs of the departing pair, Amel-san suddenly murmured quietly.

[……Hmmm, I feel like I’ve seen that swordsman somewhere. Where have I seen him again?]

[Unnn? Is he a famous adventurer?]

[Hmmm, no, it might just be my imagination. I felt like I recognized him, but I haven’t interacted with adventurers at all, so I’m probably just mistak———- Hrnn!? It seems I was a bit confused by a temporary illusion. Don’t mind me.]

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Just like Amel, I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere……]

? ? ? : [Fourteenth in line of the succession to the throne, the Prince and his partner, appearing in Chapter 510: Rejected Content 3.]

Serious-senpai : [Ahh! Come to think of it, that guy exists……]
