This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Not long after we took our seats, Canalis-san came over to our table, probably thanks to the message I had sent earlier.
[Well then, thank you for waiting. Waitress God here. You can order whichever sweets youd like, but first, here is the tea I prepared according to Kaito-samas request. Now, please, have a sip and see what you think.]
With practiced grace, Canalis-san poured the tea and set the cups in front of Cornelia-san and me. Cornelia-san, with her elegant manners, examined the color and aroma of the tea, her expression turning slightly curious.
[This is MK Blend, isnt it?]
[Eh? You can tell just by the color and smell?]
[Ah, well, its not as though I can identify every kind of tea, but I quite like MK Blend and often drink it, so Im familiar with it]
Cornelia-san had mentioned that she shopped frequently at Nifty, but it seemed she also often drank MK Blend, the original blend I created myself.
It was a little embarrassing, but honestly, it made me happy to have my blend appreciated.
[Yes, exactly. Its Kaito-samas MK Blend, but Ive added a little of my God Power to it Lets see, if I were to name it, maybe Id call it MK Blend: Healing Special! Tahaa~~ Sorry for the unoriginal name!]
[Healing Special then, if youll excuse me T- This is The pain in my stomach its gone?]
Cornelia-san took a sip of the MK Blend HS and looked astonished. I took a sip too, but I couldnt tell any difference from the usual MK Blend. Well, Im not exactly sensitive to subtle flavor changes anyway
[Yes, this MK Blend HS was adjusted at Kaito-samas request to help relieve Cornelia-sans fatigue. From what I could see, Cornelia-sans stomachache seemed mainly caused by mental exhaustion, so its effective only against stomachache arising from mental stress.]
[So its kind of like Recovery Magic?]
[Ah, no, its more of a conceptual thing. I used my God Power to grant the MK Blend the effect of soothing only stomachache caused by mental stress. Its not that strong though. Hmmm for example, if stomachache levels range from 1 to 10, this MK Blend HS would heal about 5 levels worth. So level 1-5 pain would be completely cured, but anything above that would just be alleviated a bit. Tahaa~~ of course, it would be great if it could heal completely, but since its stress-related, any stronger effect would start interfering with the mind itself.]
[I see, so it only works on stomachaches caused by mental fatigue.]
[Exactly. It doesnt work on illnesses or other kinds of stomachaches, and it has no other effects at all. Its purely for relieving stress-induced stomachache. Any stronger, and it might even violate my contract with Shallow Vernal, so this is the limit. Tahaa~~ sorry, it kinda fails to live up to its HS name!]
No, I dont think it fails to live up to its name at all. In other words, if its a moderate level of stomachache caused by stress, it disappears the moment you drink it, and even if its severe, it can still ease the pain to some extent.
Of course, its not like the mental stress itself goes away, so the pain might return after some time. But if drinking the tea lets you forget your stomach pain for a while, then its probably the best kind of break for when youre exhausted.
As I was thinking that, Cornelia-san, who had been listening, clasped her hands together in a praying gesture and bowed her head toward Canalis-san.
[P- Please, sell this to me.]
[You look like someone whos seen hell in a short span of time. Youve had quite the day, havent you? Hmmm, the owner is Kaito-sama, so if he has no problem with it]
[Errr, is it actually fine to distribute something like this?]
[For anyone not suffering from stress-related stomachache, its just a regular MK Blend. Since the effect is added using my own God Power, no one else can really make it, but for me, its no trouble at all. I just grab a can of MK Blend, go Ei!, and its done.]
[Then, umm, could you please sell some to her Also, if possible, Id like a can for myself too. Itd make me really happy if you could prepare one.]
After all, today alone Cornelia-san had run into Frea-san, Eingana-san, Megiddo-san, Magnawell-san, Tre-san, Sechs-san, Nove-san, Tetra-san, Cento-san, and Cien-san. Thats two of the Six Kings, one Duke-rank, six Count-ranks, and one other, so the mental fatigue shes accumulated must be considerable.
Even if those encounters were mostly coincidental, part of it happened because she was with me. If this tea could help her even a little, I wanted her to have it.
And while Im at it, Ill take one myself and give it to Lilia-san Though honestly, Im probably the biggest cause of her stomachaches on a daily basis. It feels kind of like I brought a solution to a problem I myself made, but if this can at least ease that pain a bit, then its worth giving her.
Besides, even if I dont do anything, Lilia-san seems to attract stomachache-inducing situations to a degree that even Kuro and Alice get astounded Really, even a little, I just hope this helps her
Serious-senpai : [Shouldnt that be distributed to all the other Stomachache Warriors too?]
? ? ? : [I think, probably, in Kaito-sans mind, most of the others dont really fall into the category of people suffering from stomachache. Kaori-san is someone he worries about getting stomachaches, but since she doesnt really give off the image of someone who drinks tea, he unconsciously excluded her. As for Cornelia-san, once she reached her limit and could no longer keep up appearances, like Eris-san, Kaito-san started to genuinely worry about her mental fatigue. I think it was around the time she met Megiddo-san and Magnawell-san that she entered the group of people he tries to look out for]
Serious-senpai : [So in the end, maybe enduring it like Eris is the wrong approach. Showing that youre suffering from stomachache might actually be the key to gaining concessions from the Stomachache Devil.]
