When I visited a room inside Kuro’s castle in the Demon Realm, I was greeted by a refreshing, tall man with light green, smooth mushroom-cut hair…… Trois-san.
[Hey, Kaito. You ca at just the right ti.]
[Hello, Trois-san. Sorry for dropping by so suddenly today.]
[Don’t worry about it. I’m glad you ca to see . It’s not much of a room, but co on in.]
[Excuse .]
Trois-san smiled gently. Sohow, he always gives off the aura of an overwhelmingly handso guy, no matter when I see him, he’s cool. He wears a suit-like outfit sharply, has long limbs, a tall build, and kind-looking features…… If Ozma-san is the hard-boiled, cool adult type, then Trois-san feels more like a bright and refreshing handso older brother.
Trois-san belongs to a race called the High Treants. In terms of nature, they seem closer to Spirits, but appearance-wise, he looks no different from a normal human. Still, since he once showed by turning his hand into wood, this current form is probably sothing close to Humanization Magic.
[……So, you said you had sothing you wanted to consult about?]
[Well, it’s less a consultation and more sothing I wanted to ask for reference…… Errr, soone I know runs a set-al restaurant called Suiren. Do you know it?]
I sat down in the seat Trois-san prepared and explained the reason for my visit. Earlier, when I was talking with Kaori-san about bread procurent and such, I happened to be coming to Kuromu Lake for shopping anyway. So I figured I’d ask Trois-san whether there were shops like that within the Friendship City, regardless of whether I’d actually make an introduction.
[Yeah, the otherworld cuisine restaurant in Friendship City, right?]
[As expected, you know it well.]
[Hahaha, well, I’ve more or less morized the stores in the major cities of the Human Realm, so I only know the na though.]
He said it so casually, like rembering most of the shops in the Human Realm was nothing…… but with Trois-san, it wouldn’t be strange if he had nearly all the shops in the Demon Realm morized too.
And even though he said he only knew the na, I have a feeling he probably also knew their popular nu items.
[Errr, so, when I t her last ti, we talked about how she’s thinking of eventually making bread-based set als. It’s not finalized at all yet, but if that happens, she’s planning to source the bread…… Do you know any good shops, Trois-san?]
[There are a few. Friendship City Hikari has fairly high-quality bakeries, after all.]
[Is that so?]
[Kaito, you know about the Heavenly Light Worship, right? During the Heavenly Light Worship, devout believers eat white bread, like they do at New Year’s. White is generally considered a sacred color that symbolizes Shallow Vernal-sama. That’s why it has quite a bit of demand in Friendship City, where the Central Cathedral stands. That said, baking white bread beautifully actually requires quite a bit of skill, so many of the bakeries that set up shop in Friendship City have very capable craftsn.]
I nodded in admiration at Trois-san’s clear and easy-to-understand explanation. Now that he ntioned it, it was true, there’s a custom of eating white bread during the New Year in the Human Realm, so it wouldn’t be strange for it to be eaten during the Heavenly Light Worship as well.
While I was thinking about that, Trois-san took out a mo, scribbled sothing down, and handed it to . When I looked at it, several nas that seed to belong to bakeries were lined up.
[These are relatively close to Suiren and accept bread orders. They all handle high-quality bread, so if you get the chance, it might be nice to go shopping there normally too.]
[Thank you very much. I’ll use this as a reference.]
[Unn. But well, if we’re talking purely about bread quality, I think the bread handled at your place, Nifty, is overwhelmingly better…… Though I guess that’s high-end stuff ant for upscale shops, so it might be difficult to use at a set-al restaurant?]
[Ah, right, now that you ntion it, the bread we serve at the café is from Canalis-san……]
Co to think of it, asking Canalis-san might also be an option…… No, if I consult Canalis-san, I have a feeling she’d start talking about making exclusive bread just for Kaori-san’s shop.
Kaori-san herself is still in the phase of experinting and thinking about adding bread to the nu, so I’ll wait until things are more firmly decided and she asks to introduce her to soone like Tir-san.
[Speaking of which, speaking of Nifty, it seems like Nove and the others were taken care of there before.]
[Ah, no, I was just about to go to the café myself, so I only asked Canalis-san to arrange a seat for them……]
[Oh right, you’re acquainted with soone from the Sharon Trading Company, aren’t you? Actually, I’m planning to visit the Sharon Trading Company soon.]
[Huh? You are, Trois-san? ……Is it so kind of business deal?]
[It’s more like a proposal for partial business cooperation. You see, recently our introductions have been expanding into the Human Realm, so we figured we should strengthen our ties with the Sharon Trading Company, which is one of the major magic tool trading companies there. Tetra is quite enthusiastic about it too and even allocated a generous budget, so it’s likely to beco a fairly large-scale deal.]
[Hehh, I see…… That sounds pretty big.]
I don’t really understand the ins and outs of business between trading companies, but if Trois-san is going there in person, it must be a fairly significant deal, right? If it’s also a good opportunity for the Sharon Trading Company, then as Cornelia-san’s friend, I can only be happy about it.
Serious-senpai : [……I see…… the landmine that’s going to explode…… is on Cornelia's side huh……]
