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

 

 

Thereupon, Illness-san went back to the house once before coming back a few minutes later pushing a cart towards my table, skillfully brewed a pot of tea and served it to me.

 

 

[……Arehh? Isn’t this Glorious Tea?]

[Yeeeees, that’s riiiiiight.
Buuuuuut, as a bleeeend, I have added a small amount of Nebula’s tea leaaaaaaves.]

[The tea leaves I had made are not to be drunk by themselves, but to be blended with other teas.]

[Heehhh…… I see…… Well then, let’s take a sip———-!? Eh? The heck, this is great…… This is definitely Glorious Tea, but it’s clearly tastier than the Glorious Teas I’ve had so far.]

 

 

It was very difficult to describe how I felt.
The taste is definitely Glorious Tea.
I don’t feel any other flavors added to it.

But for some reason, it was clearly tastier than the Glorious Teas I had had several times before.
It’s hard to describe it, but it just first right into my taste……

 

 

[……What kind of tea leaves did Nebula make?]

[The tea leaves I make adds an “off-flavor” to the tea.]

[Ehh? Off-flavor? Wouldn’t that make food less tasty?]

[On the contrary, that really isn’t the case.
This may sound a little strange, but what is the most delicious tea? Is it the one in which the taste and aroma had been enhanced to the utmost limits? No, in the pursuit of the ultimate taste, no one can arrive at an absolute right answer, as long as personal preference is added to the equation.]

 

 

Saying this, Nebula takes out the tea leaves that she probably made herself and placing them on the table, she continued.

 

 

[Then, the role of these tea leaves, so to speak…… is to add a subtle off-flavor to the tea, which “gives the tea its unique taste”.
This range of flavors allows the tea to suit individual tastes, and raises the original taste from 100 points to 120 points.
Of course, it’s very difficult to adjust the amount of these tea leaves to be used in one’s drink, because you can’t use too little or too much of it, but by using these tea leaves, you can add a different taste to a tea that you are used to drinking.]

[Thanks to thaaaaat, it enhances the taste of the existing teeeeeeas, and although it’s difficult to uuuuuuse, it’s very interesting to try different bleeeeeends.]

[Of course, these tea leaves are only for those that are really skillful, as it requires a great deal of skill and sense of taste like Illness-san’s to bring out 100% of the flavor of the tea leaves used as base.]

[I see…… By daring to add a little bit of extra flavor, you’re bringing out more of the tea’s flavors……]

 

 

It may be a little different, but I suppose it’s like sprinkling salt on a watermelon to enhance its sweetness.
It certainly is an interesting idea, and in fact, this tea is tastier than the usual Glorious Tea…… and it’s to my liking.

……Well, if people on their level were saying that using these tea leaves are “difficult”…… It’s probably something that normal people can’t use at all……

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

? ? ? : [As requested by Serious-senpai, since there was none to sprinkle last time, here’s a watermelon to sprinkle salt on.]

Serious-senpai : [……This ain’t what I requested at all.]
