Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

The next day, the Hulkas, who had missed the Naos going out to the woods, were visiting a place where the three of them were.

Yes, Mr. Diola in trouble. It is an Adventurer's Guild.

Yesterday, I went to talk to Tommy and Guntz about, 'If we're going to commercialize liquor, we're going to have a bite,' and they said, 'You're the ones offering the know-how. I'm sure you guys deserve it!' Or, 'Rather, you run it,' he said, rushing to talk to me.

Tommy tells me, 'Actually, it would be earlier if we could have alcohol, and I don't know if it could be business. As far as operations, and others, are concerned, then it is too late to say…', but should I nevertheless say that the exact character of the Hulkas is out around moving quickly?

"Hello, Mr. Diola"

"Yes, hello. What's wrong with you today? The hammer appraisal I deposited the other day will take a while..."

As usual, it was Diora who welcomed the Hulkas with a smile, but at the same time gave them a slightly troubled look.

Boss, that hammer you got by skipping the room.

Any array that seemed useful for gargoyles had been put up for appraisal by the Adventurer's Guild as soon as they returned from the dungeon.

However, as always, there was no way that complex objects could be identified here, and in a few days or so, there were no results.

"I'm curious about that, too, but this time it's another matter. We're going to try to make alcohol on the side. I was hoping you'd get in on that consultation."

"Alcohol, is it? Alcohol is a lot of trouble, isn't it? I don't have a guild, but it's permissive, and it's not easy to make in the first place, and I don't know if I can sell it even if I make it..."

To be spoken by the adventurers, Hulkas, for a slightly unexpected consultation, Diola gives a bewildered look.

Still not cutting it off lightly is probably due to the Hulkas' previous track record.

"As for those who make it, it's probably okay. It's just that management is better."

"Mr. Simon and his deputies seem to be involved, and I think we can handle the authorization, if that's okay with you, and I was hoping Mr. Diola could help us."

"I'm taking care of Mr. Diora, so hey.... If you have the right, it might be easier to find someone to marry?

"Ugh," Diora groans and holds her breasts to Yuki's words, which she added with a grin.

But I missed my gaze with a bitter look on my face.

"And as an older sister, you can't just accept that..."

When the Hulkas looked at Diora like that, they laughed and nodded softly.

"Uh, right. I'm sorry. That was frivolous."

"Right. Besides, you can't be the one who's attracted to money and stops by, can you? Sorry, you hit the other one. - After all, is it reasonable to rely on Mr. Simon?

"Or rely directly on Viscount Naenas, right? If it's alcohol that doesn't compete with Yale, you'll earn it, and you'll cooperate?

"Right. So, Mr. Diora, excuse me."

"Hey, wait a minute!

Diora raised her voice as she panicked, trying to get herself out of the counter, and held Hulka's hips gassily as she tried to get home lightly.

"Mr. Hulka? You can stick it a little bit more, right? I look like this, I have extensive connections, and I have a lot of knowledge. She's a little dependable, isn't she?

"Uh, yeah, I understand very well that Mr. Diola can count on you this past year.... Looking at the current situation makes me a little nervous though"

"Oops. Cohon."

Diora takes her hand off Hulka's waist, sits back and coughs one up.

"Hey, you didn't"

It wasn't a bit, it was a common feeling with the Hulkas, but they have a sense that they just don't talk about it.

"Uh, but you can't, can you?

"Da, you say no... you know, as an older person, it's like keeping it in a spill is a little resistant..."

Hulka gets a little more interesting too, nodding and trying to give back her heels to Diora, who shows her reluctance over this period.

"Right. Then again, someone else is working with..."

"Wow, I get it! That's it! If that's what you say, let's work together! Yeah, do your best!

The Hulkas also had the tenderness not to say 'I didn't say that much' to Diora, who slaps him in the chest with Don.

The three of us stopped just to look at each other and laugh and moved on to the conversation.

"Okay, please. Uh, what do we do? Would it be a good idea to have the procedure on alcohol done by Mr Simon?

"No, I'll take care of it. Because if you're talking to a deputy, it's not that hard.... say anything else you can do!

Hulka asks Diora, who can hold both hands.

"Anything else...... Oh, Mr. Diola, you know what an ego imo is?

"Egoimo...... oh, is that what they call" first, last food ”?

"Oh, what, that's a little cool name!

Diora laughs bitterly at Yuki for the first time with an intriguing look on her face at the words she hears.

"It doesn't come from such good stuff, though. This is the first thing that can be planted during pioneering. Because even the wasteland will grow in an unusually short period of time, as long as there is water. So the first food."

"Heh, is that why?

"I see. Where's the last food?

"This one's sadder, isn't it? Because even if you're poor and you can't buy something to eat, you can eat about ego imo."

"Ooh...... That's seriously sad."

I leaked my words like a groan. It was Yuki's head who said the occasional windy things he was eating, the appearance of Mary and Meatier.

But in fact, among ordinary people who don't have much money, it's something they can sometimes eat, so it's never been the Marys who were the bottom line.

No matter what I say, Diora, more or less upstream than midstream, is just what I heard.

"It's so easy to grow up, you really don't have the money to figure it out, do you? It seems that if the potatoes are properly chopped and buried on the ground and watered, they will grow in about a month to three months."

With that said, what Diora showed by hand was a circular shape less than 30 cm in diameter, about 15 cm thick.

Even if it's three months, it's an unusual rate of growth, but in fact that's the only thing that grows is egoimo.

"Sometimes we talk about how magic is affecting growth, but you don't really know what's going on."

"That's kind of interesting. - If you could make alcohol out of potatoes like that, wouldn't you be amazing?

"What, can you do it? I'm sure it would be awesome if I could, but I think it would be difficult, wouldn't it? Because the use of ego imo has been tested in many ways."

To Natsuki's words, Diola puts on a skeptical look, even as she opens her eyes.

In fact, such efficient plants could not be studied, and trials and errors have been made, such as whether there is ever any way to eat deliciously or not to be processed into other objects.

Since the result is "first and last food," it will not be necessary to repeat the results of the study.

"Besides, in case you make alcohol, you can't sell it unless it's delicious, right?

Even if I've never eaten it, I didn't really think that egoimo's taste, from what I hear about Diora, was delicious alcohol made with such a thing, but there's something out of common sense in many ways, Hulkas.

There was also a feeling that maybe, and Diola didn't deny the story of the Hulkas out of her head.

"I can't say absolutely, but it's possible, is it? I'm not squeezing it just for ego imo, but I'd like to make it out of something unexpected anyway, something I wouldn't normally eat. Making alcohol out of dindles doesn't make much sense, does it?

"I'm not sick of that! - Oh, but maybe you want to have a drink?

It was Diora, who denied Haruka's words to the mood, but she wandered her gaze to wonder if she had imagined the flavor.

That said, eating and using delicious fruits doesn't necessarily mean that you can make delicious alcohol.

"You don't have to worry, I won't make alcohol out of a dindle. We don't really drink alcohol, and I think it's better to eat it normally."

"Really..."

Diora looks subtly unfortunate somewhere as she exhales.

As much as I like dindles, I guess I can't deny that I wanted to taste alcohol.

"Ma, let's just say that. I'd like to get an ego imo to try, could I get one in the market?

"I've never bought it, so I can't say anything, but I think it's probably for sale. Uh, wait a minute.... this is what potatoes look like."

Diora, a little out of her seat, brings a book and shows the Hulkas that one page.

What was depicted there was something like "Konnyaku Potato" if you can metaphor it.

The stem extends straight from a black, round potato like a pumpkin grown, and the leaves extend radially from that stem.

The back length is about one or five meters, and the shape of the leaves is as thin and long as the leaves of the family Ineoceae.

However, it is similar in shape, but difficult to grow, and requires several years to harvest, whereas ego imo grows even if left unattended, and months to harvest.

That point is completely different.

"Is this it... with that said, I feel like I saw it on the market. I didn't buy it because I didn't know it well then."

"You saw me, too. I thought it was a potato, so I went through. 'Cause I don't know exactly how to make it, and it wasn't as good as I wanted to make it on purpose."

"Well, it's not enough to say you want to eat it because you can't. I'll buy it if I can.... By the way, Mr. Diola, is this something you can increase production if you want it to? I think if you use it as a raw material for alcohol and it gets harder to get, others will be in trouble."

That's what they call the "last food” substitute.

If the Hulkas bought it badly, it would be difficult for people to live with it.

That was Yuki's word for thinking about it, but Diola nodded immediately that it was no problem.

"As I was saying, it's something that can be raised in one effort. Speak up to the farmers and they will plant it beside the fields as appropriate. That's what I think we can grow in the gardens of Mr. Hulka's house for a few hundred kilometers, right? There's no need to take care of him."

"A little bit of that, too. And there's that fertilizer."

Yuki and the others said, "I'm gonna do gardening! 'There are fewer decent beds, such as the flower beds that I said and made, but that they often leave their houses empty, they have no choice either.

In that regard, it is safe for the Hulkas to go on an adventure, as the egoimo can only be properly chopped and filled.

Because the water supply is also sufficient for natural rain, even vacant land can really grow without any hassle.

"But that's also since you've had a good booze, right? For today, buy an ego imo and go home."

"Right. Mr. Diola, if you can do well, I'll come back to talk to you."

"Yes, I'll be waiting for you. I'll get you ready downstairs, so call me when you decide. Exactly, I'll get your permission!

Waving at Diora, who responded forcefully, the Hulkas followed the Adventurer's Alliance.
