I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1288 - Preparation for Setting up a Stall

Chapter 1288 - Preparation for Setting up a Stall ③

I was a little taken aback by Tre-san’s sudden appearance and her usual antics, when something occurred to me that I could ask her about.

[……Speaking of which, where are Cento-san and Cien-san?]

[They’re here, you know? You two~~ You can come out now.]

As Tre-san said this, the scenery distorted and Cento-san and Cien-san appeared. It seems that they had been suppressing their magic power to erase their presence, but as to be expected of upper Count-ranks, I didn’t notice them at all.

[h.e.l.lo, Miyama-san.]

[……I’m really sorry for Tre-san’s usual antics.]

[No, h.e.l.lo, Cento-san, Cien-san. Why were you hiding your presence?]

Returning their greeting as the two women smiled apologetically, I asked why they were hiding.

[We happened to see Miyama-san earlier and decided to call out to you…… but Esteemed Sister Tre said that making such a dialogue would be more atmospheric if she was alone……]

[She told us to stay hidden until she gave us a signal……]

[……Good work as always, you two.]

Just as usual, it seemed like it was an idea Tre-san came up with.

[Come to think of it, Kaito? In the end, what were you thinking about?]

[Eh? Ahhh, actually……]

Tre-san brought the conversation back to the main topic, and I explained my earlier exchange with Elise-san, that I was thinking of setting up a stall for the Founding Festival.

[Hohou, now ain’t that interesting!? Leave it to me, I will help you out!]

[……Tre-san, are you good at cooking?]

[Fufufu, it’ll be troubling if you underestimate me. I have a lot of experience in cooking and I’m quite confident in my skills.]

[……I- I see.]

……Hmmm, she probably wasn’t bragging about it. I mean, Cento-san and Cien-san, who knows Tre-san far more than me, looked at her with a face that seemed to say “Eh? What’s that, that’s the first time I’ve heard of that though?”.

I thought I would never get anywhere with Tre-san, so I turned to Cento-san and Cien-san.

[Cento-san, Cien-san, that is what Tre-san says but……]

[Errr, on a few occasions…… we made sandwiches using the vegetables we harvested from Raz-san’s garden?]

[……If that’s what you mean…… I guess it isn’t as if you don’t have any cooking experience?]

Considering that Tre-san was older than Dr. Vier, she should be at least 10,000 years old. I just heard about this being mentioned in pa.s.sing, but Cento-san and Cien-san apparently came to Kuro’s place at about the same time as Raz-san.

Therefore, the two of them called those older than Raz-san Esteemed Sister or Esteemed Brother, while calling those who are younger with “-san” added to their name.

Well, anyhow, if they came at the same time as Raz-san, they must have been Tre-san’s guards for thousands of years, or even more than 10,000 years, so they should have known Tre-san better than anyone else.

The two of them desperately tried to squeeze out any of Tre-san’s culinary experience that they could think of, as in the sandwiches that they all made together. In other words, I think it’s safe to a.s.sume that Tre-san has almost no cooking experience.

[……Tre-san?]

[Hmph, my cooking experience is exactly what the two of them described. You can count on this Tre!]

……What…… in the world…… She’s kidding, right? This woman, after seeing the flow of the conversation up to now and the reaction of us three, she can still maintain the stance of being confident in her cooking and with such self-confidence…… Her heart sure is as tough as steel.

[Each and every time, I’m sorry for Esteemed Sister Tre…… Errr, I think we’ll cause you trouble, but we’ll help you as much as we can.]

[We often cook meals for Esteemed Sister Tre, so we can cook to some extent……]

[That’s rea.s.suring. I’ll be relying on you.]

[……Why do I feel like your reaction to Cento and Cien is different from your reaction to my words?]

Well, of course, no matter how you look at it, Cento-san and Cien-san are the ones I can count on. Their “to some extent” isn’t like Tre-san’s baseless confidence.

Even though the two of them said it’s just “to some extent”, I think they’re probably more skilled than I a.s.sume. If Tre-san were to say the same line though, I’m sure she would fall short of my expectations……

[I suppose it’s more like a difference in my expectations of your abilities? I’m saying this now, but I feel like Tre-san is around the same level as me.]

[That’s strange? I’m supposed to be the homely Onee-chan here.]

[What do you usually do when Cento-san and Cien-san are cooking for you?]

[I set up the table! See, homely, right?]

[So it was just your self-a.s.sessment huh……]

W- Well, anyhow, I now have three new members in the group. As for Tre-san, her skill set is probably as abysmal as mine, but I feel like I could really depend on Cento-san and Cien-san.

『Tre Onee-chan Crew』

A 3-Person group consisting of the mentally strong Onee-chan with a reputation for useless self-confidence, and seriously talented twin imoutos.

Tre Onee-chan always seems to slip out from under the watchful eyes of the twins, but in fact, they are together far more often than not, “about once every 5 escapes”.

Whether once every 5 escapes should be considered a surprisingly small number or whether one should be amazed at her stealth ability to slip past the eyes of two people who are in the top 20% among the Count-ranks is a question being asked up to this date.

Incidentally, even the sandwiches, one of Onee-chan’s few cooking experiences, are usually a mess because she puts a lot of things between the bread out of curiosity, so she has almost no experience making them beautifully, but the mentally strong Tre Onee-chan is still br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence.
