Chapter 1989: Canalis ⑥
It's not a problem at all for me to let Canalis-san live in my house, but as she mentioned, we do need to align our conditions and expectations.
For my part, I don’t need any rent or anything like that; she can just use one of the vacant rooms. However, I doubt Canalis-san would agree to that, so a discussion is necessary.
And so, we decided to have this conversation with Nebula as well, making it the three of us. However, Nebula is only about 1 meter tall, so the sofa and table in the reception room don't match her size. It would have been nice if we had a special chair for her…… but we don’t, so Nebula is currently sitting on Canalis-san’s lap.
Not that there's anything wrong with that…… but Canalis-san seems to be having a rough time. No, even though just like usual, her expression isn’t changing at all, her eyes are darting up, down, left, and right at high speed. Even without any change in her expression, I can clearly tell she’s very flustered.
I mean, for her facial muscles not to budge despite being so shaken…… it’s impressive.
[……Canalis-san, errr, you alright there?]
[I- I'm alright. It’s just that the sudden happiness that descended upon me is so overwhelming that my mind couldn't fully process it. If you ask whether it’s a good or bad thing, it’s overwhelmingly good…… but at the same time, I feel as though a chill is running down my spine.]
[A chill? Why would you even……][Well, how should I say this, it's kind of a personal thing…… but one thing I can say is that I feel like the me who is here right now exists at the end of countless galaxy-destroying punches…… No, if they found out this happened, things wouldn't end with just a punch…… Anyhow, I feel like I was in such a situation where I don't know if I'm in heaven or in hell. But for now, it shouldn't interfere with our discussion……]
[A- Alright.]
I felt like I heard some alarming words, but since Canalis-san told me to continue the discussion without worrying about it, I complied and we worked out the finer details.
As expected, the sticking point was how to handle the rent. Of course, Canalis-san is a God with Omnipotent abilities, so I imagine she could create as much money as she wants but……
[No, even though I can create it, producing unlimited amounts of money could disrupt the balance of currency, so I’m thinking of earning money through some kind of work.]
[……I- I see.]
She really is astonishingly proper, as despite having Omnipotence, Canalis-san doesn't seem like she'd opt to overuse it.
At that moment, seemingly having come up with an idea, Nebula lightly clapped her hands.
[Milord, I have a suggestion. Milord and Anima-san were considering creating a store for our tea brand, weren't you? How about entrusting that to Canalis-san?]
Nebula’s proposal made perfect sense. Indeed, we had discussed opening Nifty stores, and we were still pondering over who would be in charge.
Since we need to open stores simultaneously in the three countries, it would be ideal to have someone proficient in teleportation magic who can travel between them. In that sense, Canalis-san might be the perfect candidate.
It would ultimately depend on how willing Canalis-san is, but entrusting her with the tea brand, paying her a salary, and then receiving rent from that income seems like a pretty good arrangement.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Even if handling customers might be difficult with her expressionless face, as a manager, she's certainly an ideal candidate. I mean, she is Omnipotent, so she can pretty much do anything……]
