After a table where flowers blossom, we arrive at a table of different colors.

Today's store is crowded, so there are not many tables just for acquaintances, and there are often strangers sitting together.

It's another unusual combination.

Well, we both knew each other's faces, though.

My words were answered by Kamui, a glassmaker who was mainly responsible for making glasses and bottles that we handled in our store.

Next to him, as usual, is Meggli, the escort, and who sits face to face?

“I was also interested in the herbs from the Far East, so I wanted to talk to them once.”

An elf beauty who doesn't usually appear in noisy places like this.This is Neune, my grandmother and master of medicine and sake.

It seemed that Megli had spoken to the Lord with her, and she continued to follow Neune's words with the usual face of Nikoniko.

"I also thought it would be a pleasure to talk with you about the medicine that is provided."

"You can talk about it at any time."However, I can't guarantee how effective it will be against the demon race.

"It's okay. The demon is strong and has the ability to absorb even the bad ones as good, so there are basically no side effects of the medicine."

Side by side with that, Kamui tilts the glass as if wondering how it responded.

The horns growing on his forehead are proof that he is not human.I don't know how effective human medicine is.

But Neune said, The tribe is an elf, and not a man.

There must be a lot of people in this store, but I think there are a lot of people I know who aren't pure humans.

"So, General. I forgot to mention, you did well on the Dragon Zombie."

“By the way, was that the last time we saw each other?”

As far as I can remember, the last time I saw Kamui and Megri was around whether they would evacuate from the fight against dragon zombies.

Since this is my release celebration, there was no one to talk about dragon zombies, but again, I think it was a tough fight.

"I brought you a bottle to celebrate, but I heard that you were taken away and then released."Quickly, I changed to celebrate my release.Just take it. "

That said, if Kamui makes eye contact with Meguri-san, she unwraps the cloth she had left by the table and hands me a helicopter-sized sake, perhaps.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Hey, if you make me something delicious again, I'll be glad to hear it.

When I picked up the bottle and honestly thanked her, Kamui also laughed.

For the record, Kamui isn't the only person who brings me goods to celebrate my release.

I won't list all those items, but, well, you can think of most of them as liquor.

You know exactly what I thought of all the regulars in this shop.

Also, the lord who was supposed to be taken with me gave me a bottle. Is that good?Weren't you on your side?

Well, good.

When I received it, I asked for the next one.

So, it's almost time for the three of you to get lonely glasses, but I'll make something for you.

All three of them thought a little bit about what I said.

Megri was the first to open her mouth.

So-san, does this store also handle the medicinal liquor made by your Neune?

Of course, it's a form of supervision, but I have medicine and liquor that you helped me with.

Most of the liquor that belonged to the "Herbal Liqueur" on Earth exists as "Magic Grass Potion" in this world.In other words, you can harvest potions of that flavor from plants.

However, unlike other herbal liqueurs, [Vermouth] could not find any magic grass.

It was Neine who broke the situation.

She came to this city to ask for help from Sweet's mother, Talia, but after a twist she became my master of medicine and liquor, and at the same time I became her master of cocktails.

Yes, the "cocktail" that was called a magic cannon was conceived and packed with theory as the power to protect her village.

That said, I didn't know which of the demon king──'s dragon zombies or hermes was responsible for the monster's anomaly, but── it was gone now.

Maybe we don't need that kind of power anymore.

Shut up.

I briefly described some of the cocktails that I used in the recipe for the 'vermouth' and waited for Megri's order.

"So after all, [Martini]?" But when it becomes difficult for beginners to drink, hmm. "

Megli listens to the explanation and gets a little lost in the order.

I appreciate your interest, but the first drink is important and I don't want you to take it off.I'd like a little more advice, or I'd like to make some suggestions.

Thinking so, Neune said quietly.

"I liked the cocktail called [Alaska]."There's no "vermouth" in it, but I thought it would be bad to taste the flavor of medicinal herbs. "

What Neune said was the first 'cocktail' she drank in this shop.

The ingredients are "Gini" and "Chartreuse", and the cocktail is unusually strong.

At this point, I think that the first time I drank a cocktail using the secret "Chartreuse" in the magic academy where my granddaughter was attending, it was also destined in a way.

And I don't usually recommend things to people, but I think you like it more than I thought.

It may be a good thing to teach Phil who made that cup secretly.His seriousness about the cocktail ended up connecting him to Neune.

By the way, let's tell Sally that she was so jealously harassed by me... that she needs to reflect again.

"Well, let's go to [Alaska]."It seems to be strong, so please add water.Milord would like a [Martini] instead of me. "

"Why would that happen?"Well, that's fine. I'm interested, too. "

Meguri-san decided to order Kamui-san as it was flowing, and Kamui-san accepted to be flushed.

It seemed that Megri had the initiative even when it came to ordering.

All that's left is Neine's order.

"...... Well then, let me make it your recommendation."This is also a good opportunity. "

Neune said with a smile.

If I'm not mistaken, Neune's in a good mood.

I'm sure it's because Kamui and Megri were happy to see the good "couple" exchanges.

Maybe you're thinking of me and my wife, who I don't know.Just a little bit, I thought.

Kamui answers Neune's question with little thought.

Then [Kamikaze]. Is your sister strong enough for alcohol?

It's not weak, though.

"Then let's go with Gatun." What, total? "

On the other hand, Kamui's highly recommended cocktail is also based on "water".

When I asked them to buy me a glass of this cup, I made it for them to know what a cocktail was, and I honored their readiness.

Basically, it is a type of cocktail that is poured with ice into a rock glass, but it is a cocktail with a correspondingly high number of cocktails, as Kamui said.

However, there are some recipes here, so I can't tell you all about them... but at least if you drink [Green Alaska], which is stronger than [Alaska] and you don't have any problems, you won't have to worry about sharp [Kamikaze].

“Very well, please wait a moment.”

That's why I took the order for the three cups.

Everything is a cocktail that takes time to make, so you have to work on a quick pitch.

"Please wait a moment."

And, Neine stopped me trying to get back to the counter quickly.

“Is there anything else?”

"... there was only one thing I wanted to say to you."

Since Neine says it in a comprehensible manner, I will follow her words.

Waiting for my mind to be ready, Neune said.

“We're not going to stick our necks in each other's problems.But I'll tell you what.Please don't make Sweet Sweet Sad. "

It was a stinging, sharp word, and it was a plea for earnest pleading.

I really feel like being poked in the heart with one word, and I want to inadvertently squeeze my chest.

But there's no point in doing that, so I just gave it back.

“Yes, I'll take care of it.”

"...... Yes"

I hope you're all right.

May Sweet Sweet never grieve. That's all I pray for.

I didn't really know if Neine was convinced.
