I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)

When I told Tre-san and Sechs-san about Rasal-san’s request, they were willing to arrange a meeting to discuss the matter, and later, I contacted Rasal-san and we went to a branch of the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company designated as the meeting place.

I was the one who introduced Rasal-san to the two of them, so I decided to accompany her. I was also curious about what kind of conversation they would have……

Though I say that, Rasal-san is the one who would be negotiating with them, and I was just here for the ride.

Entering the reception room, we sat down and waited for a while, and then Tre-san came in with Cento-san and Cien-san. Seeing us, Tre-san smiled lightly before directing her attention to Rasal-san and calling out to her.

[Thank you for waiting. My name is Tre, Special Advisor of the Magic Crystal Department of the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company.]

……Who the heck is this guy? Seeing Tre-san, who politely greeted Rasal-san while offering her business card, a sharp expression on her face, I couldn’t help feeling stunned.

I mean, she is just too different from usual……

[Greetings, I’m a subordinate of Death King Isis-sama, Rasal Marfik. For making time for me this time despite the short notice, please accept my gratitude.]

[No, Miyama Kaito-san is an important person for our company, so if you’re introduced to us by him, something like this is no big deal. Anyhow, if you’ll excuse me.]

After exchanging greetings with Rasal-san, Tre-san slightly bowed and sat down, while Cento-san and Cien-san remained standing behind her.

Seeing the atmosphere around her being completely different than usual, somehow, I couldn’t compose myself, but when I look at her being serious like this, adding her beauty and height, Tre-san really feels like a capable woman, reliable in her job.

[……Now then, today’s meeting was because you wanted to purchase magic crystals, right?]

[Yes, I’m hoping to purchase a large number of magic crystals, preferably magic crystals of more than 80% purity, numbering at least 100 or more.]

[I see, at least 100 magic crystals of that class. Depending on the situation, it would indeed be difficult for a normal company to handle an order of several hundreds.]

[Yes. However, that would be possible for the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company……]

[Fumu, I see…… It certainly is possible for our company to prepare it. However, when it comes to deals with a partner with whom we have never had a connection with, and in terms of the number of transactions, even if you are introduced by Miyama Kaito-sama, you will still have to be prepared to add a certain extra amount of money.]

[I understand. However, if you would allow me to negotiate this matter with you……]

[I suppose so. Why don’t we discuss the finer details first…… First, the exact number of magic crystals……]

How should I say this…… The conversation was too serious, and just as I was wondering what to do, thinking that I just couldn’t keep my mouth shut here, Cento-san approached before I knew it and whispered.

[Their negotiations may take some time, so if you’d like, how about relocating seats…… We’ll have tea prepared.]

[T- Thank you.]

It seemed like they had sensed that I was being left out of the conversation and came to help me out, so she led me away from the table Tre-san and Rasal-san were negotiating to a place that feels somewhat familiar, where another table is prepared for me.

When I gratefully accepted her offer and moved to take a break, Cien-san brought me some tea and sweets.

[Here you go.]

[Thank you.]

[Seems like they’re gonna take a while. If it’s alright with you, Miyama-san, why don’t Cento and I accompany you for a while?]

[That would be really great. Thanks.]

Well, Tre-san and Rasal-san’s tone was polite, but they seemed to be going over the terms of the deal quite vigorously and seemed to be working out the details between their deal.

I was grateful for Cien-san’s words, so after taking a sip of tea, I spoke.

[Even so, Tre-san totally feels different from usual today.]

[It might be unexpected, but Esteemed Sister Tre is the type of person who separates public and private matters, and she’s very serious when it comes to work. When she has work to do, she never plays hooky.]

[It may be hard to imagine from her usual appearance, but she is one of the oldest members of our companies and has been involved with businesses for a long time, so she’s strong when it comes to negotiations and has sufficient knowledge and ability as a Special Advisor.]

Come to think of it, the first time I met her at the Headquarters of Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company…… She just happened to pass by me and wasn’t at work, so she should be in her private mode, but I feel that she had politely guided me to the floor and other information, speaking with proper honorifics.

As Cento-san said, she probably is the type of person who separates public and private matters.

[However, the other party also seemed to be very good. She’s able to compete well with Esteemed Sister Tre.]

[Esteemed Sister Tre is really strong in negotiations. To be able to compete with her, Death King-sama has an excellent subordinate.]

[Rasal-san is quite smart and seems to be good at negotiating. From what I heard, Rasal-san is now in charge of all mining-related transactions in the Land of Death……]

Tre-san seems to be really good at negotiating, as Cento-san and Cien-san seemed to be impressed with Rasal-san for being able to negotiate with Tre-san.

However, it’s just, when I think back to the usual Tre-san…… Looking at this sharp Tre-san, I feel a sense of incongruity. Well, her usually talking to me so casually, that probably just shows how open she is around me……

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [Well, that’s exactly why she had been in that position at the Magic Tool Trading Company for over 10,000 years.]

Serious-senpai : [Well, the gap between this one and how she usually acts is quite amazing.]
