I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)-Chapter 1958: Neo Baby Castella Blend ⑩

After returning from visiting Ozma-san's house, where I handed out some coffee samples, I was looking over a list that Alice had given me. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Since there’s a limit to the samples, I can’t visit everyone, but since Alice gave me the list, I want to make sure to give samples to those who like coffee.

Shea-san is definitely on the list, and then there are others toward the top of the list…… Oya?

As I looked through the list, I found a somewhat surprising name. This list from Alice contained names of people who like coffee, and most of them do indeed seem like they’d be coffee enthusiasts. However, there was one person who didn’t seem to have the image of a coffee drinker.

This person was in the middle of the list, just below those who regularly drink coffee…… Well, I’ll ask her about it the next time we meet.

With that in mind, I started confirming plans with the people I intended to visit with the coffee samples, including Shea-san.

Before I knew it, I was in a lush, highland-like area. The place I was standing on resembled a wooden terrace, but the rest was covered with grass like a meadow, with a pleasant breeze blowing, making it quite comfortable.

[My child! It's Mother!!!]

[Hello, Makina-san…… Even though you already have a body where you can act as yourself, I see our meetings in dreams continue as usual huh.]

[Well, it’s easier for me to control myself here…… I can impose various limits on myself, so it’s reassuring. Plus, here I can monopolize my beloved child!]

Since I had experienced this many times before, I quickly realized that I was in a kind of dream space created by Makina-san. In fact, I had become quite accustomed to it due to the frequency of these visits.

By the way, this space changes everytime———– sometimes it’s a rooftop, other times a riverside…… most probably depending on Makina-san’s whim. It’s like a little trip and quite enjoyable. The sensations of the wind and other elements are so real it doesn’t feel like a dream at all.

[……By the way, I was going to ask Makina-san about something. I found your name in the middle of the list of coffee lovers that Alice gave me. Do you like coffee?]

Yes, Makina-san's name was on the list I received from Alice, but I found it a bit surprising since I wouldn’t have guessed Makina-san was a coffee lover, so I decided to ask about it. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Thereupon, Makina-san, with a somewhat complicated expression on her face, crossed her arms.

[Hmmm…… How should I answer that…… It's a bit tricky.]

[Unn? What do you mean?]

[Well, errr…… I like café au lait and caramel lattes. So, in a broad sense, I suppose I could be considered a coffee lover but…… since I hardly ever drink regular coffee, I’m unsure if I should really say I’m a coffee lover.]

[Ah~~ I see, that certainly makes it tricky.]

Café au lait and caramel lattes are indeed coffee beverages. If you prefer these over tea, as Makina-san mentioned, you might be considered a coffee lover in a broad sense. But it’s a subtle distinction.

[Right? Well, if I had to say, I suppose I could be considered a coffee lover…… kinda? Here, caramel latte.]

[Ah, thank you.]

With a wry smile, Makina-san produced a caramel latte and handed it to me. It came in a cup that looked like it came from a major coffee chain, and taking a sip revealed a sweet flavor spreading in my mouth.

[In the first place, I mostly drank mineral water before becoming a God, and I haven’t had many different kinds of drinks.]

[It sounds like Makina-san had quite an extraordinary past. Wasn’t your food mostly canned goods and military rations?]

[Unn. Looking back now, I do feel my life back then was terrible, but at that time, I didn't think much of it since it was all I knew…… Ah, but if we're speaking of favorite beverages rather than tea or coffee, I might actually prefer cola.]

[Fumu, I guess it had to be because it pairs well with burgers?]

[Unn, burgers go best with cola! Not that I’m against kids who like eating them with orange juice or other drinks, but personally, I think its combination with cola is the best…… Speaking of which, my beloved child might not be familiar with this, but in burger shops in Australia……]

Watching Makina-san excitedly talk about hamburgers, I sipped the caramel latte with a wry smile. Makina-san truly is a bright and fun person when she’s not going off the rails…… No, seriously, if only she didn’t go off the rails……

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [But even if he says this and that, I feel like his affection for Makina has increased compared to before.]
