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

Chapter 2370: Purchase of Exclusive Brush ①

Cornelia-san is going to take me to a shop that handles brushes exclusively for monsters, and as I had planned, I intend to ask if they can also make one for Dragons.

[So that’s the plan, Lynn, could you give me a few of your scales?]

[Kyuu!]

After nodding at my words, Lynn turned her head as if to check her own body, then peeled off a few scales that were about to shed and placed them in my hand.

I put them into the small vial I had prepared, and the preparations were complete.

[Good, good. With this, I think they’ll also be able to make a brush for you, Lynn. I’m looking forward to it.]

[Kyui!]

The basic process shouldn’t be much different from making Bell’s brush, so I don’t think it’ll be a problem. Well, in the worst case that the trading company doesn’t handle it, I could always ask Alice for help.

As I was thinking that, I suddenly heard a small cry.

[Unn? Sela? What’s the matter?]

When I turned, Sela, who was normally quiet and rarely cried out, was looking up at me. When I asked what was the matter, she pulled a scale from her own body and moved as if to offer it to me.

[……Ah, I see…… You’re right. You’d want a brush exclusively for you too, huh, Sela.]

[…………….]

It really would be unfair if only Lynn had an exclusive brush and Sela didn’t. Especially since Sela looks up to Lynn like an older sister, of course she’d want to be included.

Smiling at her adorable insistence, I accepted a few of Sela’s scales as well and placed them into another vial, just as I had done with Lynn’s. It’s not like having them would be a problem anyway. I’ll buy a brush for Sela too, and give it as a present to Sieg-san.

While Kaito was leisurely spending time with his pets and waiting for the promised hour…… in a room of the Sharon County in Archlesia Empire, Cornelia was staring seriously into a mirror.

(This time, it’s not a party or a tea gathering, but I still need to pay proper attention to my appearance…… Flaunting extravagance or luxury would be a poor choice, so I should go with a calm design that doesn’t stand out too much among the common people, yet if seen by those with discerning eyes, still holds enough value to befit a noble’s daughter…… That would be best.)

As the young lady of the Sharon family, which also has a merchant background, Cornelia had experienced many social settings from a young age. In particular, she kept track of all the latest fashion trends in the Hydra Kingdom and could say with confidence that she had a fair amount of knowledge in clothing.

But since the one she would be meeting was Kaito…… she felt she needed to be even more careful than usual with her attire.

(The most ideal choice would be to match the atmosphere of Kaito-sama’s clothing…… but if our styles are too similar, mine will inevitably pale in comparison…… At the tea party, Kaito-sama wore something that, while seemingly simple at first glance, was in truth a work of art. His jacket was most likely made from the threads of a Crown Spider from the Demon Realm. Not only is acquiring enough of that rare and dangerous material to make clothing impressive, but the craftsmanship required to create that garment must have been nothing short of extraordinary. Considering Kaito-sama’s wealth is in another league entirely, just how much did that outfit cost……?)

Cornelia, knowledgeable in clothing, recognized that Kaito’s outfit had been made from first-rate materials using top-class skill, and she marveled at the vast difference in his wealth.

She wasn’t exactly wrong. In truth, Kaito usually bought all his clothing from Alice, and the full set he had worn to the tea party had cost him only 500R.

For a commoner, it would be considered somewhat expensive, but in terms of actual monetary value, Cornelia’s own outfit had been much more costly.

Still, regardless of price, Alice, utterly smitten with Kaito, would never compromise when it came to making clothes for him, personally gathering only the finest materials and ensuring everything was of the highest quality.

(Without a doubt, Kaito-sama must be someone with very strong preferences regarding clothing…… If I wear something careless, I’ll only be laughed at. I’ve already narrowed down my options, but I need to reconsider them carefully and choose again.)

This, however, was a great misunderstanding. Kaito was actually quite indifferent towards clothing, usually just giving Alice a rough idea of what he wanted and leaving the rest entirely up to her.

But thanks to Alice’s excellent sense for fashion and her ability to incorporate the latest trends flawlessly, to someone like Cornelia, Kaito appeared incredibly stylish.
