The news of the development of the stores of Kaito’s tea brand naturally reached Chris, Archlesia Empire’s Emperor. Like the other rulers, she promptly prioritized this matter.
[I must say, I’m looking forward to it. Nifty’s products are currently so popular that someone like me, without noble connections, finds it quite difficult to get my hands on them. The thought of having more opportunities to purchase them makes my heart dance with joy.]
[You must be joking. I would think you have more connections in various places than even I do……]
[Fufu, I wonder about that?]
Chris replied with a wry smile to the words of Alexandra, the Head Maid who had brought in the tea. The idea that Alexandra, who’s undoubtedly the First Emperor and a Super Maid who commands great influence in the global Maid community, would lack connections was nothing short of a joke……In fact, she did manage to get her hands on a limited edition first batch cup from Nifty, and although Chris isn’t aware of how Alexandra did it, she still somehow purchases tea leaves and other items from them regularly.
To tell the truth, although Chris isn’t aware of this, Alexandra…… or rather, Aria, has grown close to Kaito, and ever since then, instead of placing orders through the store as a friend of Kaito’s, she’s been able to directly place orders to Anima at Kaito’s home. Because of this, she’s been able to regularly acquire products.
[However, what I’m curious about is this representative, Canalis. I’ve done quite a bit of digging, but there’s almost no information on them. If they’re entrusted with such a brand, they must be quite capable, but the complete lack of information about them is unsettling.]
[Indeed, I also considered the possibility of a pseudonym and conducted my own investigations…… but there’s absolutely no information about them, including their background. However, I did hear that after reading a letter from Kaito-sama, Emperor Laguna was so shocked that she began reconsidering the location of the store. While it’s just a rumor, there’s a possibility that Emperor Laguna knows who this person is.]
[……In that case, it’s highly likely that this person is a big shot we’re unaware of. But for there to be no trace of their past at all, could it be that Phantasmal King-sama had manipulated their publicly available information?]
[If that’s the case, it will be difficult for us to investigate her.]
The reason for their lack of information about Canalis was that she’s actually an Omnipotent God who arrived from another world, and it’s hard to imagine that such an Omnipotent God would be quickly entrusted with the tea brand.In the end, Chris and Alexandra concluded that their information has likely been manipulated by Alice.
In a white space whose location was unknown, Canalis, with a blank expression and streaming with cold sweat, was staring at the World Creator in front of her.
[……Canalis…… I…… I need you to explain in detail…… while I’m still able to maintain my sanity…….]
[Y- Yes……]
Canalis had come to explain that she ended up living with Kaito…… in other words, in the place where Nebula lived, and that she had been entrusted with selling Nebula’s products…… However, the World Creator in front of her seemed to be brimming with an aura of jealousy, with the word “envy” almost visibly written all over her face.
Ideally, Canalis wouldn’t have wanted to report such obviously troublesome news, but the person in front of her was Omniscient, and even if she tried to hide it, it would eventually come to light. Thus, she chose to explain first, thinking that if it were discovered later, it wouldn’t be settled with just a galaxy-destroying punch.
[……I- I see. So, you’ve been honored with the privilege of living in the same house as Nebula-sama, and you’re entrusted with selling the items created by Nebula-sama…… and on top of that, the room you got is in a position where you can see Nebula-sama’s World Tree well, and you often talk to Nebula-sama and invite her to have tea with you…… Did I get that right?]
[That’s right. Well~~ Kaito-sama’s generosity is just amazing; he’s like a consideration demon, really cool. Considering that we were acquainted, he made sure I could be close to Nebula-sama. Tahaa~~ He really just makes my heart go kyun~~!]
[I- I’m so envious! I’m still negotiating with Shallow Vernal about visiting Nebula-sama, and here you are, already living in such a paradise! Ughhhhh……]
[No well, if I were in the opposite position, I’d feel the same, so I understand your feelings. However, let’s refrain from impulsive actions. Calm down, we’re beings who can communicate.]
Canalis tried to calm down the World Creator in front of her, who seemed on the verge of being driven mad with jealousy. However, the next words from the World Creator made her face turn from blue to white.
[……W- Well, that’s fine and all. I’m envious you get to live like that now but…… what I want to ask about more than that…… you were able to have Nebula-sama sit on your lap? Heck, it seems like you even patted her head……]
[………………………………Errr, I’m quite busy, so I’d be excusing myself…… is what I wanna say…… Ah, no good huh……]
Canalis had tried to avoid the most problematic topic by honestly conveying other information, but unfortunately, she couldn’t escape…… and soon after, Canalis’s scream echoed through the space.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [It seems like there are plenty of Omniscient Gods among Nebula’s former subordinates, so there’s no way she could keep secrets…… Canalis, my condolences.]
? ? ? : [More importantly, isn’t Alice-chan being blamed for things she has nothing to do with? No, I understand why they thought that way, but I…… Alice-chan isn’t involved this time, okay?]
