'Cocktail Potion' by Transworld Transfer Bartenders

Three days have passed since Neune began to stay at the Vermut family.

Initially, she was confused without being able to find a place for herself, but after three days she had become accustomed to life.

For example, in the kitchen where you make breakfast.

"Rye. How about this for the soup"

"Hmm? Wow... so delicious. Oh, why?"

"It's how to use vanilla. The fragrance does not directly involve the flavour, but it is an important element. Especially when it's an easy vanilla to handle."

"Heh. I'm gonna learn."

And, at some point, I paid my respects to Rye and the relationship of exchanging this of the dishes.

I thought so, in Sui's private room.

"Sui. Read the book properly, be regular"

"... I know where it is."

"I'm not talking about whether you can tell. We're talking about what other people look like when they see them. By and large, where we know where it is, if it piles up like that, isn't it hard to take it out, in the first place..."

"Because I get it! Because it will!"

and let them clean up the Sui books we had given up.

In addition, in the living room, which is a shared space.

"Fren, if you're going to sleep, sleep in your own bed."

"Oh? It's more of a hassle."

"If you get sick from lying around like that, who will support this house? You have long neglected your health too much. insensitive, such as letting a man reside in a house where his daughters of his age live in the first place."

"Let it go. You're my mother."

"Yes. My in-laws, though."

"... ah"

and the constant coat used by Mr. Oyaji when trying to sprinkle on the smoke finally comes out with someone who doesn't work.

On the third day Noine had already begun to enter the Vermut family.

Phil and Sally don't seem to interact so deeply with Neune.

Around there, I guess it is also a word and a deed that is out of the lack of farewell characteristic of the body to Neune after all.

Particularly speaking, I could see how he was particularly concerned about Sui and Rai, Talia's daughter and his own granddaughter.

And what about me, I had a subtle relationship with Neune myself.

The current location is like an empty room or a warehouse with Neune's personal effects in it.

Normally, you don't get to sleep in a warehouse all of a sudden. But there's a bed in this room that's not in my room.

When I was supposed to live in this house, I quit. For this reason, except for the slightly dusty, this room could be treated sufficiently as a single room.

And now, I swallowed up all the bottles lined up by Neune.

"It doesn't mean teaching technology. You're welcome."

"Yes."

After confirming that I snorted, Neune quietly started explaining.

"There are roughly two hundred different types of alcoholic beverages I currently have on hand. One of these days, yes… you are considered to be from Japan, so would you like to try it, even with ingredients you can take around it?"

When I nod again, Neune reaches for some of the bottles in line.

When I say what I'm doing right now, I'm asking Neune to give me a tasting of her luggage and business tool, "Alcohol".

She currently possessed many different types of drug liquor as luggage in addition to Road Bank. Speaking of how you carry that much, it can also be described as a magical force.

Neune is not good at attack magic, but he can handle all sorts of other things, especially the magic of Class V. Only attributes about time and space seemed to have various uses for reducing weight, causing reactions to be sent and speeded up, and widely misleading the luggage bag space.

They usually combine many different herbs with elf medicine liquor, and use extraction methods of ingredients suitable for each of them to blend the drug effects and flavors into the liquor.

But the technology itself is a very important know-how among Neune himself and the elves. It's enough for Sui to put it on the exchange terms, so you can't just tell me.

However, that 'finished product' was not the only thing Neune had.

Besides compound liquor, she also carried more than one simple drug liquor that blended in the effects of a single herb. It is for sale cheaper than compound liquor or to formulate on the spot when needed.

And since I was interested in hearing about it, Neune suggested the tasting to me.

"In the first place, the material around Japon is not a huge amount because I'm still in the research stage, too"

Saying, Neune goes side by side with Kotori and the bottle. When I say bottle, it feels like a big jam bottle, not the shape of a bottle that contains alcohol.

The bottle bears a label, which says the name of the plant that became the material, the date it was pickled, the kind of indication of the soaked liquor, and its potency.

"The soaked liquor is united. It is a distilled liquor made from fruit called 'awax' that can be taken near my inside. I basically soak in that 'awax liquor', but I don't use wine or any other liquor."

"Distilled liquor, you use it"

"They don't drink much in human society, but it's easier to handle than brewing alcohol."

"Yeah, yes. I know."

While listening to her supplementary explanation, I decided to observe the contents of the bottle.

In the bottle, liquids of various colors, whether transparent or brown, red or yellow. At the bottom or at the top, there are two samples of marinated fruit.

"" Gangkouran, "" Murasakikib, "" Otokoyuzome, "" Akshiva, "" Oominoturukokemo, "" Shiratamanoki, "" Onyukogi "..."

Read out the labels as hard as you can. Unfortunately, what I said earlier is a completely unfamiliar face in my memory.

Somehow I can think of kanji, but the shape of the plant, the type of fruit, and most importantly, the flavor doesn't come to mind at all.

But what followed was something that sounded a little familiar.

"" Kimmoksey, "" Matatabi, "" Neubara "......" Yamazakura ""

When it comes to kinmoksei, it is a familiar flower for the Japanese, also known as kaleidoscope. Its sweet fragrance makes you realize that the season of Kinmoxey is here, and many people have heard quite a bit of alcohol called 'Guihua Chen Liquor'.

Matatabi, which followed, is also more famous as a drug liquor handed down from ancient Japan. I've only drunk this once in Japan, but it was an irresistible, bitter liquor that I wanted to spit out. Good medicine is a good word for bitterness.

Later Neubara is a plant also known as Noobara. When I worked at a bar in Japan, a customer told me that it was actually treated as a medicine.

And Yamazakura. The fact that a flower named Cherry Blossom also exists in this world, although it is not a 'someyosino' that is well planted in Japanese cherry blossom trees, slightly raised my mind.

Later, I never heard the name, but the way it looked, it caught my interest.

"This' karahanasoo '...... is it' hop '?

It is not a good green color, but browned by being soaked in alcohol. But that fruit that is sinking at the bottom of the bottle. Whatever the shape of its fruit resembled a matubokuri, it was hop.

A hop is a plant used as a bitter taste when making ales. That particular bitter taste of beer is taken from the bitter taste of hops.

"You know it well. This is a 'hop' proximal species that can be taken in this vicinity. It seems to be native to Yamano in Japan."

When I returned my drunken reaction, Neune gave me an impressive look.

Such she arranges the last bottle she was about to prepare with a smile.

In the last bottle I came out, I stuck around, and I was relieved.

"... 'Yamagrapes'..."

Yamagrapes.

Needless to say, the proximal species of 'grapes' native to wild mountains. With a little knowledge, you can also take and eat the fruit that normally grows in the mountains, a small grape.

But if you have more knowledge, even if you can take it and eat it, you won't be able to dip it in booze.

Japanese law prohibits individuals from making fruit liquor soaked in 'yamah grapes'.

I'm not even familiar with the detailed history of the ban, but soaking grapes and yamagrapes, and the fruits of the family of vines to make fruit liquor, seems to be a violation of liquor tax laws.

"What's wrong?"

"Yes, no, anything"

I was accidentally freaked out by the emergence of a forbidden substitute in Japan, but there's no way this country in this world has a law prohibiting it without thinking about it.

In other words, in this world, it is legal.

Huh, Neune said as he looked at me in wonder calming down.

"Well, it's easy to just have a tasting here, but it might not be a bit funny."

She had exactly the kind of eyes that would try me.

Being obsessed with bottles lined up earlier, I am sensitive to such changes in the atmosphere.

Her eyes looking at me looked similar to those of Mr. Oyaji when he tried me.

"I did respond to a deal from Sui. If such carriage were to take place, I would firmly honor her contract to teach you the know-how of the 'alcoholic beverage' she has sought as a condition of exchange. But I don't know if you have enough vessels to take over my know-how in the first place"

I promised to teach, but I have trouble being told I don't understand that.

Indeed, it is probably an important issue for Neune. We agreed cheaply, but therefore, we can't wait to be made to struggle to death.

"So apart from her terms, I'll let you try too. If you don't even seem to be able to complete my assignment, I'd like to make sure you didn't have a deal from the start."

I swallowed my sarcasm and spit in Noine's serious voice.

For the past three days, I've been worried about what conclusions I should draw. But, of course, I've come to that conclusion, and even further, the story goes on.

No matter how troubled you are, the next one is coming. If you can't deal with it next, whichever option you choose, it doesn't mean anything.

"Okay."

I didn't have to think about it.

Neune turned his eyes a little round at the speed of that determination.

"You're not lost."

"It's not a matter of getting lost and doing something about it, and you just need me to do the assignment. If you can solve problems on your own, you don't have to worry about them."

Plus, it's a positive story for both.

It doesn't matter what conclusions we draw. If they give me an assignment right now, and I try to respond to it, that's all I get.

That would be more or less helpful, no matter what the road ahead is.

"It would be good. Okay, I'll give you an assignment. The deadline expires on the day you come to a conclusion. Contents…"

Neune drops his eyes on the lined bottle.

I read it out verbally, I'll flush out a bunch of labels.

silent as troubled for a while, and said with a smile on his face.

"Drink all of the Japonese ingredients - mainly fruit liquor - arranged here and put together their flavors. Delicious or unsavory, sour or sweet, it's all about the flavor you feel. If that sentiment was to my satisfaction, I will acknowledge you for now."

'Alcohol' lined up here - everything.

The number I read verbally, thirteen types.

To do all those tastings and put together thoughts that don't lie, or what?

"Okay."

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

"Because."

Summarize the differences in taste. It's like my life's work.

A cup of cocktail, poking at the difference between the ingredients 1 ml, means you want to be ahead of the cocktail. That's where my chosen bartender is headed.

For me.

'Cause it's like I'm having fun and I'm a bartender.

The challenge was that the purpose and the means were too consistent.
