Chapter 1484 - Intermission: Other Immigrants around that time

<Author’s Notes>

Today’s chapter is a little short because I didn’t have the time to write.

While Kaito, Aoi and Hina were visiting Shigenobu’s house, albeit it was by coincidence, Akane came to visit Kaori’s restaurant in the Friendship City.

Akane ate a set meal prepared by Kaori and exchanged a few words with her.

[Hmmm. I did try looking for it, but I just can’t find it.]

[Ahh~~ It really is difficult huh. I was thinking that if I could get one, I’d like to use it for cooking.]

[There may be something similar to it, but I can’t find the same thing as what we know of.]

[I want to eat some matsutake though.]

[Me too. Well, maybe they do exist somewhere I don’t know of, but I don’t think they’d be distributed to the public.]

The two were talking about the item that Kaori had asked Akane to look for some time ago. Matsutake mushrooms, a luxury ingredient Japanese people are familiar with, but the conditions change when it comes to another world.

Akane also searched everywhere using her contacts, but she couldn’t find anything that looked like it.

[If we’re just talking about high-end mushrooms, I did find several kinds…… and the expensive ones are disgustingly expensive.]

[Eh? That much? This world sure has very rare ingredients after all.]

[Seriously. By the way, those disgustingly expensive ones seem to be sold only at an annual event held by the World King’s subordinates in a certain district in the Demon Realm.]

[Heehhh…… I guess you can really find vegetables and other expensive stuff in places connected with World King-sama huh.]

[Well, she stands at the top of the plant world after all.]

As they were having such a trivial chat, Akane seemed to have suddenly remembered something and spoke.

[……If we ask Kaito, do you think we can get some?]

[I wonder? If it exists in this world, I think he might be able to easily get some for us, but if they don’t exist here, I guess even he might find it difficult?]

[Ahh~~ You’re right. Would it have been better if I asked Eden-sama matsutake instead of a takoyaki machine?]

[Ahaha, even if you say that, it’s already too late…… Ahh, speaking of Kaito-kun, Kaito-kun and his two kouhais have apparently already met Shige-san.]

[Ahh, that other immigrant Kaori was talking about, he’s making quite the progress huh. It’s been a long time since I moved to this world, but I haven’t met a single one, so I thought there were definitely no immigrants other than me.]

In fact, it’s been about 30 years since Akane emigrated, but it’s only recently that she got to know the other immigrants. Although one can distinguish otherworlders from their magic power, information about immigrants was basically not disclosed to the public to avoid various troubles.

Unless one asks a person like Kaito, who has access to all the information in the world, there’s no way to know how many migrants exist in the world.

[Ahh~~ I also hadn’t met anyone else other than Shige-san. The moment I met Kaito-kun, the number of acquaintances I have immediately increased.]

[Exactly that. Rather, since he had already met that Shige-san, does that mean Kaito had already become acquainted with all the immigrants? No, there may actually be other immigrants that I don’t know about, but in regards to those me and Akane know, everyone already got to know each other…… Alright, let’s get everyone together and have a takoyaki party.]

[Takoyaki party, that’s so straight out of Kansai. However, having a get-together among the otherworlders does sound like fun. At that time, we can use my shop as the venue.]

[Ohh, that would be great…… Hmmm. I’ll have to make some concrete plans for this~~]

After having such an exchange between them, with Akane at its center, serious consideration was beginning to be given to the opportunity for otherworlders to gather together.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Matsutake…… I think he can easily get them, right? If Kaito just feels the desire to have them……]
