Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core (Book Version Title: A Different World Dungeon Made with the Devil)

When Sir Partridge rang the bell on the tabletop, a servant with a basin came in. On top of that...... apparently it's sugar. A small amount is served on a plate. There's a couple of other tiny pots on it, though?

"Mr. Crowe. Herbal tea, which we talked about a little while ago, said she added a cup of sugar to each of them. This is not something our servant managed to trick the store people into."

I had predicted that some of the merchants as well as the Theodoram soldiers would notice sugar. I told you to leave them alone even if they were trying to dull the sugar... some servants at the previous place.

"The cook at my place has been fooling around, but the main person has only come to me to taste it. Tell him to bring it to someone I know and ask him to look into it..."

Oh!? The cook at Lupa's is excellent in terms of gathering information, right? Because it's up there, is it going to be tight down there?

"Mr. Crowe, I'm sorry, can you taste it?

"Now, if you'll excuse me"

I smell like Yo. Instead of sniffing it directly, wave it over the sugar and stir up the air. It's a procedure for checking the smell of chemicals. But I don't smell anything like this.

Next, place the sugar you put on the tip of your pinky finger onto your tongue. The sweetness spreads in the mouth, but there is no clutter because the refined sugar is firm. It is of no less quality than the sugar sold in modern Japan.

"There's no clutter or habit at all, just sweetness. It would be the best level as a seasoning. But you just don't know what you used as the ingredient, just without the clutter. Can't we just hope for a handout from Lupa's cook...?

"Hmm... is your hometown sugar similar to this?

Oh? Is this a catch? You have to answer carefully.

"I've eaten sugar dishes before, but I don't get many chances to see the sugar itself... but the sugar I normally see isn't that white. I've seen white sugar, but it looked something like this."

"Hmm... Crowe, are you just out of the tail range for sugar?"

"It's mainly medicinal herbs used in the private sector."

"Hmm... so you know a little bit about sugar too?

"To the degree of knowledge"

"Hmm."

When I said that, I pushed every basin on the tabletop.

"Before?"

"The pot on the left is the sugar that Theodoram sells, and the pot on the right is the sugar from the ship."

"Can I give you a taste and wear it?

"Hmm. Can you compare it to the sugar just now?"

Theodoram sugar is the same vegetable sugar I've tasted before. Since the refined sugar is cluttered, the egumi and trap have not been removed. If you are a shipper... is this about the same sugar we made? Properly refined, no clutter or clutter. I don't even know the ingredients. You may know by using appraisal magic, but I don't want to use magic in public.

"Teodoram sugar doesn't smell blue or out of clutter, but it feels just like the sugar from the ship."

"Will you consider the ingredients?

"Exactly that far..."

This is where Lupa comes in to talk.

"Crow, of sugar... or what could be considered as a sweet ingredient?

"It's just the knowledge you've read and heard, okay? With the exception of honey secreted by some insects, such as bees, the raw materials of sweeteners are essentially of plant origin. A lot of them are hidden, so all I know is part of it... seems like a lot of plants native to the South. In addition to grass, some tree saps and the like may also be used as raw materials."

Sap such as sweet palms and sweet caeds can also be sugar raw materials.

"Like boiling germinated wheat to get sweet juice..."

It's about candy.

"Something else... they used to get sweeteners from snail sap, etc."

It's called Amazura.

"You've never heard of a snail before."

"That didn't seem very efficient, did it?

"You don't know about specific crops?

"Exploring it wide (and wide) can make my neck fly... but given that cultivation, isn't it grass, not trees?

"As far as it goes. Anything else?

"Estimated from the unit price… I don't even think cultivation is that much trouble. It's expensive, but if you can't do it a little bit, you can buy it for ordinary people."

"" Hmm. ""

"Maybe, but I will boil the sap or squeeze the juice to make it, so given the efficiency, there must be areas where the sweetening ingredients are stored. I can also think of fruit... imo... or something like root."

Shall I direct the image to the vegetables (Tensai), not the cane...

"Hmm... actually, Mr. Crowe. The tea shop and the beer shop were partitioned by elves and beasts."

"So we think trees are suspicious..."

Oh... is that how you came...

"I do know that long-lived elves can also grow certain types of trees like fields..."

"We think that the first time the elves brought out sugar by now was because it took some time for the sweet sap trees to grow."

Ho... but you still have a sweet penetration.

"How does an Orc get involved there?

"No... I'm not sure there..."

"You said the elf and the beast man were partitioned. Isn't that unusual?

"At least this is the first time I've heard of the Elves and the Beasts jointly opening their stores."

"Then… when the elves and the beasts are in common, it is also possible that they are in common with elves elves elsewhere. What are the chances you got it by trading with the elves in the South?

"But Crowe, thinking about it doesn't help us identify the raw materials the elves use, does it?

"Ah. But I think it would be awkward (first) to narrow the target to just trees and exclude crops"

"Uh-huh... when they say that, maybe so"

"It's possible that the beast taught the ingredients and the elves made sugar from them."

"" Uh-huh. ""

"When it comes to involving elves and beasts in beer as well, I wonder if you would cite the growing of trees as raw materials for sugar as the reason you brought them up for the first time this time. Isn't there some other reason?

Well, should I imply this much?

Once the pursuit was over, a servant came to get us. Tomorrow I'm leaving Banks, so it looks like the previous meal has been prepared for me. Thank you. I'll treat you.

"See you in a while."

"What, you're in the same country, so sometimes we just see each other."

"Oh, speaking of which, we ran into each other last year in Wangdu."

I envied him when he turned from a somber appearance to a pleasant tone. Finally, Lupa pinched his mouth.

"If I had known Crowe was in King's Capital, I would have accompanied him."

"No, I was just visiting occasionally."

The feast of Japanese (nagga) and kana parting continues without making you feel drenched.
