Time passes in an instant.

I hear that this is the kind of fun time, but this time it's not supposed to be any fun, but the time has passed quickly for pranks.

Rather, the end of the summer vacation is the same as going past it sooner or later.

"I don't know."

But my summer homework with Raw Hate isn't over yet.

I throw the list I used to spread on my desk in my dorm room and lie down on the bed.

Unlike school homework, there will be no future beyond this unless this is done.

But I didn't know.

Cocktails that seem suspicious were listed from one end.

Then, I tried various things by adjusting my magic power so that the effect was minimal.

However, it was unlikely that the Demon King had something very effective, whether it was something that proved effective or something for which the details were unknown.

In the first place, most of the effects that came out were not attack magic.

In fact, most of the things that become attack magic when you shoot "cocktail" as magic are classified into the four major attributes.

In other words, it is a cocktail based on "gin", "vodka", "rum" and "tequila".

Conversely, cocktails based on "whiskey", "brandy" and "liqueur" have more auxiliary magic effects than attack magic.

Although it is not clear why, Swe's view is that the fifth attribute is responsible for events that are difficult to understand as natural phenomena, such as time and space, so it may not be an attack that can be seen by the eyes.

It hadn't been discovered yet, but if there was gravitational magic, it would be classified as a Fifth Attribute.

Anyway, considering the carriage schedule, it was time to go back to the capital, but I never caught a clue.

Without being able to grab anything, it feels like a moment and time has passed, and more and more weights are falling on my heart and stomach.

In the first place, speaking of power alone, I'm sure there's no cocktail more powerful than [Long Island Iced Tea].

"False Dragon Breath", which encompasses all attributes and releases magic power to the point that even I once felt clearly reduced, could reach the demon king if I only had enough magic power.

But I can't do that now.I can't feel the demon king's magic power that was supposed to reside in me has already shifted to Hermes himself.

And the [Long Island Iced Tea] blow that I could do now was as ineffective on Hermes.

It's not like Trace didn't know I was in the same situation as the Demon King.

I don't think that the cocktail she presented as a trump card is the same cocktail that didn't work.

"...... Why didn't Trace really tell me the answer?"

She said I needed to find the answer myself.

By doing so, I can settle with [Torisu Iba in me].

"... settled"

Once it was entangled, it refreshed the inside of my head.

The approach I followed was to list the candidates that I suspected to be suspicious and look for them to stare at.

That is, if you include the correct answer, you will find it on your own.

To be honest, I gave up on realizing it myself.

Trust Trace's words and make a cocktail that you know from the bottom up.

If we find something that will reach Hermes, we'll be convinced that it's the answer.

That's how I tried to come to an answer, as if it were a cheating cheating.

But that didn't work out.

The answer was almost invisible, like a sanctuary that could only be accessed by regular means.

I have to face Ibuki again.

She closed her eyes slightly while lying on the bed.

What will she think?

What does she think of cocktails, for example?

She liked to drink.

But I didn't just like the taste of alcohol.

He liked to know the type of liquor, know the difference, know the personality, and teach it to me.

That's why you thought I'd be happy to drink whiskey.

She must have recommended something else to me once in a while because she wanted me to know more about the drinks.

And that's the kind of cocktail she wanted to recommend to me.

I'm sure you chose a dish that would allow you to better enjoy the taste of some kind of alcohol, or a dish that would change the way you look at the cocktail itself.

"So, what is a simple base, like a style?"Certainly, there are many things in the liqueur that make me want to say, "Is there such a drink?" "

The liqueurs are more versatile than I've ever dealt with.

If you think of a major fruit, it's no exaggeration to say that the liqueur with that flavor exists first.

Simply put, liqueurs of apples, grapes, strawberries, melons, pineapples, oranges, watermelons and other fruits are commonplace.

Passion fruits that you don't usually meet in life, but mango fruits are tropical fruits that you can easily meet in a bar.

There are also hazelnut liqueurs and apricot kernel liqueurs, so you may encounter the flavor you want rather than going to the supermarket poorly.

When I think about enjoying the smell of smoke, I wonder if there is only one option other than perfume: parfaitamur.

"... by the way, did you meet Parfaitamur at the hands of Trace?"

At that time, she hid the "Core Trow" and prompted me to look for "Parfaitamur".

... now I realize that it was a stupid idea to say what Selaroy's marriage was about, a perfect one-person play by Viola, but that's fine.

Could it have been Parfaitamur, not the Core Trow at the time?

I don't know why, but it was in her.

"... you wanted to show me the possibilities of liqueur?"No, at that time, is it more likely that Hermes was moving as intended? "

My consciousness has derailed.

But if anything, it was definitely more of a [Blue Moon] than [White Lady].

There is also a fragrance and taste, but more than that, the appearance is too different.

The [White Lady] with a light white and clean image is not bad, but the [Blue Moon] with a slight purple color is probably more like a cocktail.

In retrospect, Ibuki said it was an interesting cocktail at that time.

Dig up your memories. It's a little easier to remember when you recently came back with a bad memory.

Ibuki didn't say that the cocktail he wanted me to drink was "delicious".

I said, "It's funny."

But that's a strange story.

Cocktails are supposed to be 'delicious'.

There are things that people choose for their taste.But if it's not delicious, there's no recipe left in the modern world.

The originality of the standard is that its taste was widely recognized by everyone.

There may be interesting cocktails in the standard, but they must be delicious.

If Ibuki's personality is like that ─ ─ a woman who's twice as strong in her thoughts on alcohol won't say, "I don't know if it's delicious."

I probably said, "I don't know if it fits my mouth."

But she did say 'funny cocktail'.

Well then, what you need to think about is a cocktail that's not delicious?

For example, there are some things that sometimes only give the impression that someone's original flavor will taste like this.

In fact, when I mixed Kalua with gin and lime in my experiment, I had some minor regrets.

If it's in that direction, I can understand why you don't say it's delicious.

But I can't explain why Trace noticed the answer.

What Trace knows is what I remember.

And what I remember is that I've drunk it or I know the recipe.

Since I became a bartender, one of the experimental cocktails I drank happened to match the cocktail Ibuki wanted me to drink...?

Is there such a stupid story?

Almost there. We're almost there to grab something.

Mixed thoughts almost produce a clear answer.

Or, there is no mixing from the beginning, and you can clearly see the answer that was hidden in something.

It may not be said to be delicious, but it is certainly interesting.

The cocktail Iba chose to surprise me ─ ─

Gross!!

The moment my Moya Moya almost clears up.

The sound of knocking on the door of the room and the voice of a familiar girl arrive.

It was unusual and seemed to be in a bit of a hurry.

I got out of bed and greeted Sweet in a hurry.

What's the matter, Sui?

”W-well, I got weird results in the middle of the experiment.”

Sweetheart tried everything to help me in a different direction.

One of them was to look at the magic aptitude of the finished cocktail and explore what kind of effect it would become.

That said, it seems that aptitude and results cannot be said to be one-on-one, and there weren't very good results, but there must have been some discovery that she came here in such a hurry.

"Anyway, calm down."

Um, yeah, but it was a blind spot, so you didn't check it out.

“Now that you've got it, go ahead and explain what you found out.”

Sweetie seemed excited and desperate to tell me something.

I urge her to calm down and, little by little, to bite the story off.

Swe took a few deep breaths and finally began to sort out the words he wanted to speak.

“Um, yeah. I was kind of stuck building a correlation between 'cocktail' and 'magic', so I thought I'd take the opposite approach.”

What's the other way around?

The effect of Millions Blue . Even though it's the original of all, I thought it was too unnatural to share a super-limited amount of magic power that would only work on me.

It was certainly strange in that regard.

In the end, the magic that could be shared by that magic was the magic power of [Sweet] and [Someone].

Shoot me and Sweetie, shoot Sally and Sweetie, it was a limited magic that allowed the user to share magic with Sweetie.

It was a cocktail that I made in the image of Sweet Watermelon, so it worked like that.

I was forcefully convinced by the magical wonder that there was such a thing, but it seemed that Sweet didn't stop there.

So when I tried it out, I measured the correlation between my magic aptitude and Millions Blue 's magic aptitude and showed a similarity of about 25%.

Even if I were to show you, I don't know what the numbers are going to do.

However, it seemed rare that the magic aptitude of the magical potions was close to that of just humans.

"So, I thought it was 25%."If it's a percentage, it's a quarter.Isn't this just a little pinch? "

A quarter?

In proportion, the first thing that comes up is the cocktail recipe.

Basically, it is made in 60 ml, so the ingredients are expressed in ml, but strictly speaking, the taste will not change if the ingredient proportion is correct.

And when it comes to [Millions Blue] ingredients, it has 15 ml of lime, 10 ml of apple liqueur, 15 ml of blue curacao, and 20 ml of apple liqueur against 60 ml.

And one-fourth of sixty is fifteen.

No way?

Sweetheart nodded.

My magic aptitude and my Blue Curacao magic aptitude were almost perfectly alike.

Even if it's a coincidence.

I thought this was something that would lead to an answer.

In my mind, I was reminded of Trace's last tip.

The hint is, all of my actions.Everything I sent to the general.Near the total, there is an answer.So, look for it. This is not Torisu Ibuki, this is the first and last request from Trace, so please. "
