Legend

The first liquor served before Ray and Elaine was liquor in smaller barrels.

That's the kind of barrel they put up for sale against individuals, so it's roughly like two liters in it.

It's not enough to drink enough, but if you think of it as liquor to taste slowly, there is only a certain amount of liquor that you have no complaints about at all.

"I meant souvenirs, so how about this kind of booze? This liquor is sweet, but I am proud to say that the aftertaste is very beautiful and enjoyable for everyone. In fact, a lot of people buy this liquor when they have a banquet."

"I see. Then take that barrel for now... right, give me ten barrels or so"

"To?"

The clerk is just a little surprised by the words coming out of Ray's mouth without any particular distress.

No way, because I never thought I'd buy this light either.

The liquor sold in this brewery is not called fine liquor.

Still, there are a lot of booze priced things like drinking during a bit of a fancy meal if you try it for the average person.

Some of them are pretty cheap liquors, but the liquor the clerk has recommended this time was the liquor you deserve to call a bit of a fancy liquor.

But soon he remembers what Elaine and Ray are like and smiles happily and opens his mouth.

"Okay, I'll get you ready right away. So, there are many other types of liquor, but what do we do?

What will Elaine do to the clerk's words? and I'm going to turn my gaze to Ray.

Ray, with such a gaze on him, thinks that alcohol is no trouble - although he likes it himself and doesn't drink it - and nods back.

"Okay, bring it to me. If that's a good drink, let me buy it."

"Thank you! Please wait a moment!

To Ray's words, I guess he decided this was a superior. The clerk smiles happily and heads to the back of the store.

I'm pretty sure I never thought I was a bad customer from the start, more than I knew about Ray and Elaine.

But still... I was definitely a far better customer than I expected.

Some liquor sold in this brewery is cheap or expensive.

Even if it's expensive, that's it... that's not enough money to build a house, but there's still a lot of booze that seems somewhat like a luxury product.

Specifically, for things like drinking in a little celebratory setting or giving away alcohol when something comes to light.

If it were Ray or Elaine, would you also buy such liquor in large quantities?

With that in mind, the clerk hurries to pick up the liquor.

It should be noted, however, that this brewery is more than famous in Anesis, and the clerk is in charge of Ray and Elaine, and as a matter of course he is dealing with other guests there.

Such other guests are really blinded by Ray and Elaine's presence.

(You're being watched.... well, it's the usual thing)

While feeling the gaze from other customers and clerks, Ray speaks up to Elaine, trying not to worry in particular.

"How exactly do you think I should buy booze?

"Yeah? That's a little tricky. That's what alcohol is not just for us to drink, it can also be used for disinfection if it is high in degrees, or as a gift. And I've heard from Georgima that they use alcohol for cooking."

"Uh... well, for cooking"

Ray, too, had something strongly convincing to explain.

That's because when I was in Japan, when someone I knew caught a bear in a hunt and split the meat, I had seen it simmer in large quantities of sake with flavoured vegetables such as shoga and spring onions as a smell removal.

In fact, there were memories in the lay that the bear meat cooked in that way had been turned into superb stewed dishes that had no such thing as beast odor at all and that, thanks to a long simmer, would crumble lightly when it was in the mouth.

Other than that, I've seen dishes like stewed beef red wine on TV, although Ray has never actually eaten it.

I've also seen Marina use alcohol when she cooked for me.

Given those, I could honestly convince myself of the word Elaine used for cooking.

(It's just that there was something called cooking liquor... if you're going to use regular liquor for cooking, what the hell is cooking liquor for?

Ray with such doubts, but the clerk earlier shows up with some liquored glass of riding basin before he speaks of it.

I know I would have liked to bring a barrel if I had, but I guess I couldn't imitate that only this time.

How many types of liquor to bring… it was shown by a cup on top of the basin held by the clerk.

"Thank you for waiting. I brought you something somewhat fancy as a recommendation or something else cheap but more than good enough alcohol. These are all delicious drinks that I can confidently recommend"

I guess the clerk really likes booze just because he works at the brewery.

That's how he still smiled happily ever after in front of Ray and Elaine.

"I usually wholesale it to various stores, but if you buy it in this brewery, you can buy it a little cheaper than in such stores, which is a good thing about breweries."

"Well, I guess that is"

Ray also snorts honestly at the clerk's words.

Some store...... it was only natural that if I bought liquor in a place like a tavern, the price would really go up just for the amount of liquor in between.

If you buy it where you are making it, it will naturally be cheaper.

For Ray, that's the only amount of money a human being can spend his whole life in luxury, even if he's reborn a few times, so to be honest, I don't care about that price difference.

But that's only in Ray's case, and the others...... if you try to be the one who's coming to this brewery to buy booze, there's no doubt that the price difference is a big event.

"Okay, here you go. Start here. This alcoholic beverage is cheap but definitely a substitute for first-class products when it comes to flavor."

"... even though the flavour is first-class, is it cheap? I think that's a contradiction."

"No, the year this liquor was made, the climate was bad and the crop was broken. Thanks to this, I haven't had a buyer for this year's bad luck or judged to be unpleasant… As I said earlier, the flavor itself is perfectly fine."

Hmm. Too bad the clerk squeaks.

If you try being a clerk, you won't be convinced that delicious liquor is being seen unfairly cheap.

Elaine seemed to agree with that, and she receives the cup from the clerk and carries it to her mouth.

The way Elaine's white throat swallows whenever she drinks is even confusing.

Even real clerks are blinded by the sight.

The happy moment when such eye care can be done is soon over, and Elaine meditates her eyes to enjoy the aftertaste of the finished drink.

The clerk, who returned to me with Elaine's trick, opened his mouth like a panic.

"Well, how did it go?

"Yummy. I wonder if this much flavor is cheap for a bit.... If it was the most unproductive, I don't think there's a few of them."

"Oh, yeah, right. But I was wondering if Elaine would be happy to drink it if she could taste it."

"Pfft, don't say good things.... Fine, let's get this booze. Ray, I need to hand this out as a souvenir too, so you don't mind if I buy this?

Ray nods at Elaine as she asks, without particularly getting lost.

This is how the two of us buy souvenirs, but there's no reason why only Ray has to pay to buy souvenirs.

If it was to be bought by Elaine, Ray had no objection to the words in particular.

"Hmm. So how much can this liquor... sell as a barrel for one? We were talking about a small number."

"Right. Ten... no, what about fifteen barrels? We can still afford it, but considering what we sell to other customers, it doesn't exactly mean everything."

As a brewery, I would like to have someone who deserves to drink the booze I'm proud of if I can.

But still, you can't possibly imitate selling everything to Elaine.

I don't know what's going on in the future, and that's probably why I need that booze when something happens.

Elaine too, as a nobleman, knows what's going on around there, and she accepts without saying any more impossibility to the clerk's words.

"Um, that doesn't matter. So here's the next booze…"

Summarizing the business conversation briefly, Elaine reaches for the next booze.

Even then, Elaine makes an accurate statement when she drinks and delights the clerk.

On the contrary, even the other spare time clerks would gather to hear Elaine's representation, and eventually the other guests, the clerks who were dealing with it, and on the contrary, the brewery craftsmen.

"Are you okay?"

Buy alcohol all the way...... that's what Ray and Elaine bought for a year in a normal house and in some cases just enough alcohol to need time to consume more than that, they were walking down the road since they left the brewery.

To be honest, if you try it on Ray, if you buy as much booze as you can, it's just a treasure possession, more than not having to drink it yourself first.

I had that thought, but I decided that I should hand it out because of the souvenir, or use it when the marina used it for cooking, and I decided to buy it as much as I could for now.

Most importantly, maybe... really maybe, but there was also the thought that sooner or later the time might come for Ray to drink and think it was delicious.

Now in Ray, I don't think alcohol tastes good, although it's not very good.

But there are those who are so eager to make booze, and at the same time enjoy drinking.

I wonder if drinking it and not being delicious is a little too much.

I guess the biggest reason Ray thought so is still the presence of the clerks who took charge of Ray and the others at the brewery earlier.

Straight, I like and love booze. If Ray is going to say that too when he sees it emitting such an atmosphere... and that's what I thought, it was true.

Although, after drinking a little alcohol and seeing it, I still didn't want to drink any more now that it wasn't really right for me.

Because Ray only drinks what he thought was a delicious drink.

... If it's fruit water or something, that's where Ray wants to drink it.

"Hmm. A little... you drank too much. The cold wind is pleasant."

Winter wind was a pleasant thing for Elaine now that she was drunk, albeit somewhat.

That was the circumstance that should be called cool, not cold, even now that the snow began to fall, even though it inherited the Enchanted Dragon's Demon Stone.

Elaine, now thin and red with slight drunkenness, rather than lighting, is very lustrous.

There was a strong impression of a marina when it comes to a glossy woman for Ray, but now Elaine has such a glossy look that she can't beat such a marina.

Looking at the side of Elaine like that, Ray gives her the fruit water she took out of the mistering.

One type of liquor, even in small quantities, naturally corresponds if you drink all of it.

Because I thought Elaine would be happy with the refreshing fruit water.

... When I was actually in Japan, it was only a response because I saw many times that my father, who had a banquet and came home drunk, wanted to drink water.

Even fruit water is pretty thin. I guess that's why it felt so good for Elaine. Drink up delightfully.

"Phew.... delicious"

"Right. More than happy. In the meantime, I'm going to the next store... but I don't think I can."

I'm not completely drunk, but Elaine is still drunk now.

Drunk additions and subtractions, etc.

If I was supposed to be this drunk, I could act without any problems at all.

But Elaine is the Duke of Keller and one with the alias of General Princess.

Beyond that, if it is also such a thing as to leave it to drunkenness to cause any problems, it would be a disgrace to the Duke of Kelevel family.

With Elaine's fame, such a thing would likely not be an issue......

Elaine never has enemies, either.

During the New Year's party, I remember the woman who had gotten tangled up in Elaine.

From what I saw in Ray's eyes, Elaine didn't deal with me at all... but that's not why I can leave you alone.

"No, I'm not particularly problematic, am I?

"Really? But then somewhere a little more drunk..."

Let's wake up.

Ray, who tried to say so, stops his words and turns his gaze to some.

Ahead of that gaze...... on the roof of the building, there was a black wolf figure.
