'Cocktail Potion' by Transworld Transfer Bartenders

Once you've decided on a cup to make, there's no element of confusion.All we have to do is make it.

What we need is a mindset about the booming that will probably happen.

Standing in front of an instant workbench, I took a deep breath and went into work.

On this workbench, I have a variety of tools in my hand, just like when I do business.

In the middle is a cutting board for cutting fresh, etc.On the left and right, I used the usual shibori one by one.

On the left hand side is a wide glass filled with water and a major cup immersed in it.

On the right hand side is a small trash can that holds fruit lids and rags.Ice rings, knives and bar spoons in a longitudinal container filled with water.

In addition, the store has a container for other small items in the back of the cutting board, and there are dry wipes, margherita salts, various condiments, sommelier knives, etc., but not now.

Then, there is a board that extends out of the counter, and usually puts glasses, shakers, water bottles, etc. on top of it so that the work can be seen from the customer's side.

Of course, there is no such thing now.

But there is no problem.

I hardly use the tools I mentioned earlier this time.

I don't use any shakers or mixing glasses that I keep cool just in case of ice, and I don't use most of the bottles lined up in colors.

I reached out for the Old bottle, which is still barely out in this world.

What's that?

"As you may have heard... the" Old "newly developed by" White Oak "─ ─" Fifth Class Potion "

"Oh, that's it."

Answering the king's question, which seemed to have grown out of curiosity, I put the bottle just ahead of the cutting board.

Now, let's get started.

First, wipe the edges of the prepared elongated glass with a clean cloth.

The temple of the person who prepared it was slightly stiff and entered the edge of my vision.Maybe they misunderstood that someone suspected that they had poisoned them. Well, that's fine.

Next, carefully ice the glass with an icing.The edge of the glass is roughly 80% tall.

Steer carefully here once to cool the glass.When I felt the cold air in the glass, it was useless, but I changed the ice once.

Then again, carefully ice it, followed by about 20 ml of Old.

After that, the glass was filled with potable water that had been placed in the water tank.

The ice rang in a cool water jar.

Last but not least, carefully steer it again.

I checked with my fingertips and eyes that the liquid inside was mixed well before stopping the steering.

That's it.

Thank you for waiting.

Normally, myself or someone at the store delivers drinks directly to the customer, but I can't do that today, so please take them to one of the waiters.

Is this really the end of the service?I keep asking with my gaze, but I nod back to it.

As the people around him watched carefully with a strange gaze, the king took the delivered glass.

I tilted it slightly for a while, smelled it, and then asked me.

"What is this?"

Of course I doubt that.

I don't know how much the king has heard about cocktails, but at least he understands' something difficult '.

But what I made...

"It's an old potion splash."

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

What is water splashing?

"The base material is divided by water."

The man who answered the king's question said with unwavering confidence.

In response, almost everyone here would have thought the same thing.

No, it wasn't just what I thought, some people actually spoke up.

"Don't be ridiculous! It's just a diluted potion!!"

It was the wrath of the scumbag, but there was little air to hold it back.

Of course.

Those who are here are getting smaller and collecting information.In other words, I have some interest in "cocktails", which are newly born in the city of Nest.

And many people are gathering for the spill of "cocktails" where there is nothing to lead when the nest lord is executed for national treason.

Then I thought I could see the end of the rumor's "cocktail", but if I do something to hide it, I'll be even more irritated.

Is this it?

The king asked again.

I intend to seek the sincerity of the man before me.

Perhaps even in this situation where my life is at stake, I ran away from the technology of "cocktails" rather than life.

Such questionable words did not break the man's confidence as before.

"Yes, it's done. Please make sure you're not saying anything else."

If you are prompted, there is nothing else you can accept.

More importantly, I was going to prolong it even further, and the anger of the people around me was going to make me not understand the taste.

"Calm down. I can't judge."

The noise calms down with the voice of the king.

However, even the noise was a manifestation of his own lack of power.

The King thinks there is no doubt that an unfair trial has been made without drinking it.

Lord Sage Ezoensis knows his sincere work.If there had been such a trial, he would have been intrigued.

But the reality is only the record that a trial was held about a week or two ago and the future of execution for treason.

Speaking of which, if not worse, the City is dealing with the Demon King Dragon Zombie.

It is also by royal decree that I do not remember ordering.

There are enough of them to make fun of me when there was a trial at such a time.

Nevertheless, the trial is carried out in the name of the Fourth Prince, and no grudge is revealed, and a man who wishes for the life of the people is about to be executed.

A man who is a prime minister is not unaware of the oddness.

Still, he's biting his back teeth, saying he shouldn't overturn the verdict.

Obey the law, observe the procedure.

It is natural as a country, and it is because of that premise that there is a country.

And there is a man who standeth upon a man to keep it.

The King certainly has the power to overturn it.But do not overturn it with ease.

The lesser the king's word, the lighter the king's power.

The lessening of the King's power means that the nation itself loses power.

Truth and justice are on the side of the lord and the Gentiles.

In order to protect their power, we must cut them off now.

Any pus in the state must be properly eliminated.And the king swore unto them that they would be sacrificed, and wept in his heart.

…………

But water splash.

Potion just diluted.

It was as if it were an irony against the king.

The power of a king born at the time of the founding of the nation.Isn't the royal effort to desperately keep the country alive while even diluting it exactly the same as the efforts of the poor to dilute alcohol and keep it a little longer?

There is no "cocktail" for a king who is not even satisfied with his ability to protect the innocent.

That is the true meaning of the Gentiles, who name their mysterious profession of bartender.

Hmm.

A mocking smile leaks from the king.

He leans the glass with a slightly pleasant feeling of such a bartender's reticence.

…………

I felt a strange feeling in the slippery liquid in my throat.

I have actually drunk Old Potion itself.

The completion of a potion laboratory called White Oak (which is also a sales office) was immediately donated to the Royal Family.

Because it is a sweet dew that resembles alcohol, the king was also a little intrigued and actually drank it.

The intense, deep, aged taste of wheat and barrels at that time certainly remains in your mind.

This intense feeling, no, more than when you drank it straight, comes from this cup.

Sure, thin.

I broke the potion with water, so it's only natural that the taste diminishes.

Even so, the characteristic is not as dead.

The irritation in the mouth, the taste through the throat, and the scent of passing through the nose.

Even though everything is supposed to be thin, you do assert yourself with a solid core.

By adding water, the old potion itself stands out.

If you're impressed when a straight old potion comes from a barley field that you can see raw.

This cup is like a beautiful painting that cuts off the sight and traps it.

"Oh, my God."

As unusual, the King's doubts were out of control and his thoughts leaked out of his mouth.

And the bartender in front of him said to the words that had not been questioned.

"There's a man."

"Male?"

The bartender shakes his throat silently in urging words.

"Men are in a very responsible position.It is unacceptable to stand on top of people at all times, pull people together, be equal to everything, and show weakness.Everything that comes down is a man, a man who's going to be chased in response to an anomaly. "

…………

I knew I was deliberately avoiding making myself clear.

If you say something by name to the king, you may be able to pin down the right sin, not to mention State treason.

Of course, whether this analogy is a pretty dangerous bridge or not, the bartender continues.

"On days when you can't sleep satisfactorily or eat, your body is tired, your stomach is rough, and you still drink to sleep hard."

"... I guess that's what happens."

"If such a man were to make a cup,What do you need? "

What you need.

Instead of answering, the king looks at the glass that was still in his hand.

"It's not a stimulating cocktail, it's not a tasty cocktail, it's not a high-alcohol cocktail.It stains your tired body and provides a little peace of mind.It will lead you to a restful sleep.If that's all you need, I'll think about it. "

The bartender finishes spinning his words.

The King is not looking for anyone, he is just wandering his gaze.

And I had eyes for Litroxis.

Disappointed in the way the royal family is, he is a wise son who has forfeited his right to inherit the throne.

Such a son's eyes certainly looked at the king with confidence.

It also looked like trust in the bartender.

Like being caught in that gaze, the King saw a bartender again ─ ─ no, one 'customer'.

"I know, but why does it taste like this?If you put water in it, it will fade. Isn't this obvious? "

"Yes, in addition, I have refrained from the amount of Old Potion itself this time, so you will feel a lot thinner if you make it normally."

As he said, the bartender dropped his gaze and reached out to Tong.

The tong was caught by ice.

"So I used ice luxuriously.This ice is the hardest I have today.So I cooled the glass well and kept the water cool again.By its very nature, cocktails slowly melt the ice in the glass right after it's finished, but they keep it to its limits and prevent the flavor from blurring. "

The man replied, "Hakihaki", to the extent that his life could not be expected to be at stake in this cup.

Speaking of which, it is simple enough to finish the explanation in a few seconds.

The man who was supposed to be in extreme tension will do it perfectly.

That shouldn't be easy enough for a man to say himself.

"... a bartender?"

The king thought of the technology called "cocktails", which had been a little talked about.

I heard that if we knew how it works, it would be easy for anyone to make it.

If so, even in the absence of Sage Ezoensis and other people, there is no problem in accepting the technology.Rather, we even thought that it should be pursued nationally.

But that's a mistake.

The man in front of me.

Even in this situation, there is a man who breaks his heart for the king.

Not to boast of his usefulness, but to make a truly necessary cup for the king.

A bartender is necessary for a cocktail.

My heart is settled.

And I'm getting tips for future action from this one.

No matter how small a 'potion' is, if there is solid 'ice' and 'water' in the chilled 'glass', this is how it will be completed.

No matter how powerless a king is, there is only "the happiness of the people" in "trusted subordinates" and "suppression of the essence".

Even if the statue elephant gathered here is truncated, the "country" will be complete.

"... sure enough, there was something to know."

The murmur may have been directed towards Litroxis, a childish smile that someday succeeded in a prank.

The king made up his mind and saw a man who had fallen in love with the king.

I told him clearly.

"Lord Sage Ezoensis and Seo Yugiri's verdict is unacceptable.Investigate the trial immediately and confirm the facts thoroughly.Then punish him who hath given false testimony of this judgment.
