My First Trip was to Another World
Transaction 4
An old man named Glendo is an idiot who can't help it, but it turns out he doesn't have any problems with his brewing skills.I have to rely on that idiot more than I can buy liquor at a major brewery.
The direction has been decided. Let's buy it and go home.
"Thank you for talking to me. Thank goodness."
I tried to close the conversation, but Claire broke in.
"Hey, don't you have to ask about the church?"
Oh, I forgot. According to Irving, the church in this territory is quite large.That's why I dropped Irvin off this time.
Irvin is chased from the church, so this kind of trouble often happens.This is the investigation we need to avoid this trouble.
"Church...? Are you related to Church Headquarters?"
The old man in the brewery looked disgusting.Are you fighting the church?
"No, I'm not. I'm looking into it.Is there a problem? "
"You really don't know anything about this....."
The old man answers with a bitter smile.There seems to be something wrong.
"What do you mean?"
"Ha-ha. It's not a big deal.The Church in this realm just declared independence. "
"No, it's a big deal."
You mean the church turned away on its own.I think it's quite important.The Milgian Church was supposed to be a national church, but is it permissible to be independent?
"Originally, the church in this territory was a little strange.I decided to stop believing in the god Mills and worship the god of fire. "
"Is there a God of Fire?"
The gods of this world are all real people.There should have been no god.
"Arens, you don't know the myth about God? The myth that we burned down monsters in the country in ten days."
"Heh... there was a noisy god."
Allensu, perhaps the god who founded Allensia, Rumia's brother.I thought it was gone.Well, the same goes for Mills, too.
"We handle fire in breweries.In fact, there are a lot of fires, and I think it's natural to worship Arens God. "
I don't think we should worship the burning god for fire protection. I won't tell you.
"Can't you do that and rub it against the church headquarters?"
"There was not much confusion because of the Apostle's proclamation.Well, sometimes I rub it. "
Manifesto... the broadcast that Rumia and I did.Mills is evil, evil is destroyed.I hear that the church in Milgia was a mess.I wonder if the headquarters is not that far.
"Are the residents convinced?"
"The church headquarters is a bunch of assholes who wind up donations from us and spend them on things we don't know.We're all welcome. "
I heard an explanation from the old man.It seems that making alcohol in Milgia makes donations to the church compulsory.This territory seems to have made quite a donation because brewing is the main industry.And the money will not be used for this territory.
I wonder if it was enough to make money.Rebellion is natural.
The church in Milgia seems to be shrinking steadily.The day Irvin returns home is near.... you don't have to leave yet.I would like you to work a little more as a guide for Milgia.
Talking to the old man, a man approached.He's about thirty years old, and his spine is stretching.
"Whoa whoa, how are you?"
The man talks to the old man in a light tone.
"Ah, well done, I've been expecting you."
It seems that the old man was here to welcome this man.I thought you were just a free man... I'm sorry.
Who's that boy and girl over there?I wonder if he's new. "
"A guest. A runaway merchant."
When the old man introduced us, the man smiled at us and raised his right hand.
"Hmm? My name is Daniel. Nice to meet you."
"Oh, you're Daniel. I hear rumors."
When I said that, Danielle's mouth seemed a little cramped.
"Danielle, by the way, is that a good rumor?"
"Don't worry, I don't know if it's a good rumor, but it's not a bad rumor."
"That's good. By the way, you said you were a runaway merchant.Do you know etiquette? "
Danielle told her to make a smile and tell her to teach.
"Hmm? Oh, just in case. I think I know him as well as anyone."
Courtesy, huh? I can't deny the lack of study, but I think I studied quite a bit.
"You, look, honor! honor!"
The old man yelled at me.Huh? I was taught that it's common sense not to use honorific words because you can lick them.
"It's okay, it's okay. Fucking cheeky, feisty, and prestigious.Looks like you're looking at the old me. "
Can I interpret it as not requiring respect?But it's a subtle statement that can take both, like a disgusting, just an impression.If I hated it, I wonder if my attitude bothered me. [M]As a courtesy, let's return both with a subtle aversion.
"I'm glad to hear that. If I can be like you, I'll keep this style going."
"Ahahaha! I like it!If you need anything, you can count on me. "
Danielle laughs. My answer seems to have been correct.
"Well, I bought some incredible water today.You guys should see it. "
That's what Danielle said and pulled out the severely bottled, ugly bottle.That's why I don't feel free to look at it.
The bottle is about the size of a wine bottle and the contents are clear water.Danielle opens the plug by force and pours quietly into a small glass.
Then a small bubble emerged from the water, and it burst and vanished on the surface.
"What? This is...."
"Amazing, isn't it? It's magical water that can be harvested in the southern mountains.They say you won't get drunk if you break it with this water. "
It's carbonated water, and it's natural.Pretty rare, huh?It would be a lie not to get drunk, but I didn't think I could drink carbonated drinks in this world.It's impossible to reproduce Coke...I don't know the recipe. Can you make carbonated fruit water?
All right, I'll buy it if I can. I can definitely sell carbonated water, and I want to drink it.
"Can I buy this water?"
"I can buy it, but it's expensive. It's 10 gold coins a bottle."
It's really expensive... It's about a month's worth of savings.It's only one bottle of water.
Is it too expensive?
"If this water is poorly stored, the magic will soon dissolve and become just water.The bottle is expensive. "
Carbonated drinks come off... of course.On the contrary, I wonder how they bottle it.
"Wow! Wonderful!"
The tension in Leeds is rising.Lift the glass and look from the bottom or side.I can't help but notice the bubbles sticking inside the glass.
"Are you sure you want to drink this? Can you drink it?"
Claire, on the other hand, seems to have won the worry.People who have seen it for the first time may be suspicious.
"Don't worry, it's like a fresh ale."
Danielle says, is it like beer?If so, Danielle's explanation is quite correct.That bubble is just carbon dioxide... right?This is just carbon dioxide.
Can we make this at home?
"Hahaha! That's hard.Various alchemists tried, and everyone failed.You'd be rich if you could. "
Danielle laughs. Apparently, the contents of the bubbles are unknown.It's just carbon dioxide, so we should be able to collect it from the air and dissolve it in water.I think it was completely better than the magic equipment I always make.
"You won't know unless you try.I'll try it myself. "
"Isn't that nice? Try it.We need to know the real thing first.You can drink that. Instead, sell it to me if you can. "
I wonder if this cup is enough for one gold coin.It seems to give me a generous drink.Are you going to pre-invest or sell me a favor?Don't hesitate to give me a drink.
It definitely contains carbonated drinks.It is carbonated water without taste.But quite a bit of carbonation. It is not a feeling of shushing that I am accustomed to drinking, but a feeling of carbonated water that has been going on for a day since I opened the plug.In short, carbonated water that is unconscious.I can't say it's delicious, but it's a nostalgic taste.
"Thank you. I found it helpful."
"Is that all you need? Why don't you buy about a bottle?"
Danielle flickers a new bottle out of her bag.You were going to let me taste it and buy it. He's a tough soul.
"I remember the taste. It's fine."
"Really? Well, I'll be expecting you."
I guess it's better to say I remember than to say I remember.I drink it in Japan.
Carbon dioxide is a common gas, and I keep spitting it out.All we have to do is collect these and dissolve them in water, so it's possible to make them here.I'd like to get back to Elminsule and try it right away.
If that's the case, let's move on to Glenn's Brewery.Buy it properly and go home soon.That's what I thought. I heard Glenn's drunk voice from afar.
"Hey, isn't that Daniel over there?"
That's a plausible way to put it. I'm sure Daniel's here to sell it.
Ugh!
Danielle distorted her face and shouted.You didn't want to see me that much...
"Don't buy that kind of stuffed liquor, just buy me one!"
Glenn broke in between the old man and Daniel and grabbed Daniel's shoulder.Naturally, the old man gets angry.
"Oops! Don't interrupt the business!"
"Excuse me, I'm not interrupting.I'm just negotiating. "
I don't care how you look at it, you're in my way.I can tell if it's irrelevant to me.
"Well, here I am. I need to hurry."
Daniel pulled Glenn's arm off and tried to escape.But Glenn won't miss. Grab Daniel's arm.
"Don't say that! There's plenty of good booze!Sometimes, right? Buy it. "
"We're on time! I told you I'd never get involved with you again!"
Daniel strengthened his tone of voice.I guess I hated it so much.Wherever Glenn waves his hand, he's still desperate.What should I do... if I help you here, I'll sell you a favor.
"Hold on, Glenn. I'll buy that liquor. Let him go."
"Hmm? Isn't that Leeds' husband? Was he there?"
He didn't see me.How desperate you are.
"In the meantime, three barrels. If I have a good reputation, I'll buy more next time. What do you think?"
"Three barrels... 240 gold coins, can you pay that much?"
Eighty sheets per barrel, maybe a little expensive.I can't afford it, but I think it's better this way.Let's negotiate the roots with vigour.
"It's expensive. 150 pieces.If that's the amount, I'll pay in cash today. "
"In cash...?"
All right, we got it. We're almost out of breath.I grabbed the gold from the magic bag and took it out.There are about 20 gold coins in my hand.Show it to Glenn.
"What do you think? It's not a bad story, is it?"
"Are you sure you can pay immediately?"
"Of course, so let him go."
"Alright! I'll go back to the brewery before I change my mind! Follow me!"
Glenn let go of his strong grip and turned his heel and walked out.Then Danielle murmured in my ear.
"Thank you. Thank you so much."
"Never mind. We're going to Glenn's brewery, so Danielle needs to get down to business."
That's how I left this place.I originally decided to buy Glenn's liquor.You've already sold Danielle a favor, so it's quite lucrative.
When Glenn picked up the liquor at the brewery, Glenn suddenly lowered his head.
"No, thank you so much. I almost got my neck back.I can still make liquor next year. "
Coming to my neck... if it's been sold for ten years, that's right.Rather, I've been here for ten years.On the contrary, it's amazing. And I feel like a craftsman when it comes to prioritizing brewing over living.
I was able to buy alcohol safely.I bought only three barrels this time.For the king, for Raymond, and for Bonanza. The three of us will taste it and buy it again if we have a good reaction.It's up to the three of them to keep Glenn's brewery going.
Before that, we need to experiment with carbonated water.If you sell it with alcohol, you may be able to add more value. I look forward to it.
