After she finished talking about the rice, Kaori spoke while serving the accompanying side dish for the rice and miso soup.

  [Come to think of it, Shige-san, you said you had something interesting to tell me?]

  [Yeah, I heard from an old friend of mine that there was apparently an accident that happened in the previous Hero Summoning.]

  [Ahh, unnn. I also just found out about that recently…… It was quite the surprise, wasn’t it?]

  When Kaori heard the words “Summoning Accident”, she thought of Kaito who she had met not long ago for a moment.

  It was a shocking encounter in many ways, as her meeting with Kaito has influenced her life a lot, including the fact that the Founder Olivia became a regular customer and how she started stocking rice from Razelia.

  [It seems that three people other than the one playing the Hero were accidentally summoned, and my friend’s daughter works at the mansion they were staying at, so I was able to ask him about the details…… but there was apparently an amazing fellow among them.]

  [Amazing fellow?]

  Kaito’s face vividly appeared in Kaori’s mind. She didn’t know much about the other two since she had only heard about them from Kaito, but even so, she couldn’t imagine anyone other than Kaito as this amazing fellow.

  Rather, Kaito has inflicted her a pretty bad head and stomach ache at that time…… so she has a feeling that there’s no one that could have been better than that.

  [Ahh, no, my friend is a pretty good-natured guy who exaggerates a lot about his daughter, so he’s probably just making stuff up…… It seems that one of the otherworlders like us is being favored by the pinnacles of the world, the Six Kings and the Supreme God.]

  [……Could you be…… talking about a person named Miyama Kaito?]

  [Unnn? What, you already know about him?]

  [……I recently met him…… Unnn, he sure is an amazing guy…… seriously.]

  [Kaori-san? What’s with the distant look in your eyes?]]

  Wryly smiling at Hannah’s question, Kaori decided to tell them both about Kaito, who she had recently met.

  [It’s just a guess, but I think what Shige-san’s friend said about Kaito-kun…… it wasn’t an exaggeration, and all of it is true.]

  [Huh? N- No, but there were a lot of things that were out of the ordinary……]

  [Incidentally, I got to know him before noon, and that night, he brought Founder-sama, whom he had befriended in half a day, to my restaurant.]

  [……You’re just kidding, right?]

  [No, I’m telling the truth. Founder-sama…… Olivia-san comes here for lunch about once every three days, and thanks to her, my restaurant has become strangely famous.]

  Of course, Shigenobu also knows about the Founder, Olivia. Although they had never really talked, he had heard that she never goes outside the Cathedral, except for when the Festival of Heroes is held.

  It’s impossible for him not to be surprised to hear that such an Olivia is a regular customer at Kaori’s store.

  [I also heard that he had received the God of Creation-sama’s blessing and that he’s lovers with Kuromu-sama……]

  [Unnn. All of that seems to be true. Incidentally, Raz-sama, whom I mentioned earlier, was also introduced to me by Kaito-kun. Raz-sama seems to like Kaito-kun a lot, and since I was introduced by him, she allowed me to purchase her products at a very low price.]

  [……How outrageous. For him to actually be serious about that……]

  [Well, Kaito-kun himself is a very nice boy. He is polite, kind, and considerate, like the epitome of “Mr. Nice Guy”, and I like him a lot. He even comes to eat here often after that. But well, his connections are just too much…… My stomach hurts just from listening about it.]

  Seeing that distant look appear in Kaori’s eyes again, Shigenobu wryly smiles, thinking that she must have been facing something troublesome. At the same time, he was originally interested in him, but he became more curious about Kaito now.

  [However, I see…… Those guys were praising him quite a lot too, and from what I’ve heard from Kaori-chan, it seems like he’s a nice child.]

  [Unnn. That’s for sure. He’s a very nice child, someone I think Shige-san will like.]

  [I see, I’d like to meet him too.]

  [By the way, he apparently lives in Symphonia’s royal capital right now.]

  [Symphonia’s royal capital, that’s quite a distance from us. The cost of teleportation is quite expensive…… In the first place, just suddenly visiting them would be quite a nuisance, so I guess I’ll ask my friend to introduce me to him.]

  [Arehh? It just occurred to me, but that child named Kaito-san, you said he comes here often to eat, but I think it would cost quite a lot of money to use a Teleportation Shop from Symphonia’s royal capital to the Friendship City…… He’s quite the wealthy guy huh.]

  [……Kaito-kun has his own personal Teleportation magic tool…… from what I heard, it’s even one that allows him to teleport from Human Realm to Demon Realm……]

  [ [ …………………… ] ]

  Hearing Kaori speak in dismay, Shigenobu and Hannah looked dumbfounded. After that, the three continued to talk about the extraordinary otherworlder Miyama Kaito.
