"That was very cheap, egoimo"

"Yeah, a little incredible."

Back at home, the Hulkas saw the four ego imos lined up on the table and were surprised at the prices that were cheaper than they could have imagined.

One silver coin with four potatoes about 30 cm in diameter.

It is such an amount that you can only buy one piece of bread.

"Now, would you like to taste what it looks like"

"Oh, that's Natsuki, courageous!

"If you don't check, you won't have a policy."

Natsuki took up one ego imo and washed it, sliced it thin and included it in his mouth as it was, but immediately spit it out with his face up.

"... it does feel like this is, Yi, Yigaiga. Would you like to taste Haruka and Yuki too?

"No, fine."

"Oh, I guess I'm good too"

With that said, Natsuki offers a slice of ego imo, but the Hulkas pull themselves together and shake their heads.

Well, look at the look on Natsuki's face, 'I'll try', normally, you wouldn't say.

"So, is it going to work out?

"It seems harsh when people say it so that it can be eaten deliciously, but as an ingredient for alcohol, we can handle it, maybe. I still have [Pharmaceutical] skills, level 5."

"Pharmacy...... well, it's pharmacy, rather than [cooking]"

"Is Igaiga calcium oxalate? This one can be removed by distillation, right? I think Egumi has tannins, but this one won't be a problem either."

"Um, do you work yeast in that state?

"It's an experiment around there, isn't it? Is it a good idea to mix rice koji, sugar it with malt, or do we need another method? It seems a little difficult, but it might also be possible to koji the potatoes directly. If that koji."

"That... Sure, I think I can handle that."

Yuki remembers that fungus that created rice koji in an unusually short period of time, and he wraps his arms around it and nods.

That is the level that, when poorly diffused, is likely to contaminate even other foods, but so far no sign of it has emerged, either because the Hulkas are using 'sterilizing DisInfact' in mind.

"Well, I have to make a parachute, and beside that task, I'll experiment with a lot of things."

◇ ◇ ◇

It's obvious, but the results of our exploration of the woods were not fragrant.

It can't be easy to suddenly go to the woods and find “plants that store starch and sugar” conveniently.

Well, if you dig hard on the ground, you might find something like yam, but then it's against the spirit of this one.

While out in the woods a few times, our exploration of the woods had almost turned into a walk.

Get rid of the occasional goblins that come out and get pigs - Mary and Meatier.

We practice magic, watching Marys work like that.

There's nothing wrong with not having my magic, so I don't even have to think about how much magic remains.

And sometimes the Hulkas invite you to enjoy the mountain leaves or refill the river with fish and shrimp.

In that way, while enjoying the fall slowly, the brewery, which had been built in the garden, was completed.

"This... you've become a fine brewery!

It was Tommy who raised an impressive voice in front of the brewery, which is somehow three stories high.

He had come to see it in the middle of construction, but he only came once because he had work to do.

Instead of that, the cat car had been increased to three.

Of course, it's Tommy's hard work.

Although some improvements appear to have been made, it appears that the cost problem has not yet been resolved.

It should be noted that Mr. Gantz has work to do, so he's not here today.

"I mean, Mr. Simon, weren't you planning on building two floors?

"I felt like it! Don't worry about it!

"I feel good..."

Is that appropriate and okay to build a building?

Aren't we going to need a solid structural calculation or something like that?

"As far as we're concerned, I'm a little concerned it's higher than my own house..."

"Oh? Shall we build more of your houses, too?

Mr Simon says a little funny to Halka, who tells him to be a little troubled, but Halka shakes his head.

"No, I don't need it. I don't need a room any more."

"Well, it doesn't look bad, so it's nothing good, is it?

Sure, it's higher than our house, and I try to partially block my view from the window of the house, but thanks to the building on the edge of the property, the distance is far enough away, not so much as a blind eye.

The exterior walls are nicely painted with lacquer and are reproduced even in the pattern of the potato walls - the brewery walls - which Toya taught in an interesting way, so there is quite a bit of flair.

"But... you built a pretty thick wall, didn't you? It's costly, isn't it?

"It's not cheap. But there's no problem. Is that what it takes to make a liquor?

I also thought at the start of the work, I wondered how much bee it is to make liquor.

Well, there's a thankful part for us about making liquor production a side business.

By the way, we're talking about the liquor business, we're providing technology, Diola, who's in charge of all kinds of administrative procedures, and Simon, who's building architecture, making tools and, if necessary, providing personnel.

"Well, let's start brewing fast, but what's going on over there?

"Let's talk inside about that."

That's what Natsuki said, and it was our dining room that guided Mr. Simmons.

Tommy, Simon, and even Diola are at the table for us, except for Mary and Meatier.

Diora said, 'It's an important story about the future!' And he's been out of work.

Mary and Meetia are two orphanages.

He didn't seem very interested in brewing, so he sent me to see him.

"First of all, it's the rice we use to make this liquor. Here's what heated this. I was putting it out at the party before this, so I'm sure you've seen it."

The first thing Hulka arranged on the table were raw and steamed rice, plus normally cooked rice.

Raw rice is arranged with three types: brown rice and refined rice.

"This is where I added koji to this steamed rice, and this rice koji mixed with cooked rice makes this sweet wine. When I say" booze, "it doesn't include alcohol. Go ahead, have a drink."

Natsuki pours sweet wine into the glass and arranges it in front of the three of them.

Seeing that liquid that was white and cloudy, Tommy was the only one who took it and drank it without hesitation.

Mr. Simon and Mr. Diola were peeking into the cup, narrowing their eyes, but watched Tommy drink normally, mouthing a little confused.

"Heh... I've never had a sweet drink with koji, but it tasted like this."

"Didn't Tommy ever drink?

"Yes, I have something made of liquor."

I see. Because even the same sweet wine tastes quite different.

Whereas it contains no alcohol and has a unique flavour of koji liquor, sweet liquor made with sake liquor is sweetened with sugar, so there is no flavour for it.

The alcohol content varies depending on the liquor canal used, but some things can also be strong enough to get drunk.

By the way, my taste is in sake.

Koji liquor is a little bad at its flavor.

"Well, this is sweet."

"This doesn't contain sugar or anything, does it? It's amazing, more than I ever imagined."

Tommy followed by the two people who spoke also round their eyes to its sweetness.

I don't know how much sugar there is in koji liquor, but it feels pretty sweet when we drink it. Usually from people in this world who have less chance of eating sweetness, it would be superfluous.

"As you can see, we have succeeded so far with no problems. Later this is the part that makes this alcoholic, but it will take some time on this, and I think it will take some trial and error."

"Hmm. As sweet as this is, I think it's going to be booze even as it is, but isn't it stable?"

"Yes. Taste after that, huh? I think once you succeed, you will be able to make it quite steadily, because we, as adventurers, have some work to do…"

"You can't take that time, right?"

To Hulka's explanation, Mr. Diola nods as he was convinced.

"Well, I'll consider if I can't get the rice steadily. Including surveys of regions of origin and distribution routes. Maybe he's making it in the neighborhood."

"Thank you. We just bought it at Cleville's, and it's refreshing around there."

Selling it over there means I'm pretty sure they're making it somewhere.

I'm sure Mr. Diola will do something about it, although it's not easy to tell where the merchandise is being purchased, but there's a network of information on the Adventurer's Guild and a legend with nobility.

"Then Noon makes the tools he needs. I'll take care of the tools you make out of wood."

"I'm the one with the manpower... or my master. He said he'd look for something serious to do."

"So it's our job to teach them how to make it. I don't think you'll succeed right away, but in the long run, huh?

"Wow. If it's the wages of a few apprentices, it's not a big deal for about a few years. Well, if you're sober, you're drinking fast."

"I don't think it's going to take that long, but if it's going to keep failing, I'll do something about it. Don't worry about that."

The Hulkas say, 'It's not hard if you just make it alcoholic'.

Whether or not it will be good liquor, polarity, even East bacteria that make bread and sugar water can do the liquor.

Even such liquor is definitely alcoholic, so if it really doesn't work, it also seems to take into account cultivating the right yeast from fruit skins, etc., and making distilled liquor.

The question is whether the distilled liquor made that way is price-competitive or not...... I guess I can't help thinking about that around now.

◇ ◇ ◇

A few days later, it was three young men who came.

Names, Jay, Peeta, Xe.

They were all, like us or a little younger guys, but their attitude toward Natsuki, who gives technical guidance, is beefy, and I feel pretty nervous, clearly.

Because the nuts are cute? Like, I just thought, I'm not even really like that.

When Toya talked to each other and asked them out that it wouldn't work if they were too nervous - no, let's be clear, they stabbed him with a pretty bumpy nail as close to blackmail as they could get.

Mr. Gantz, Mr. Simon, and Mr. Diola. I wondered what would happen if I skipped on those three, took my hands off them, or divulged a secret.

Needless to say, the power of Mr. Gantz and Mr. Simon, because it's not Dada who plays the guild's deputy branch manager, either.

... I'm usually a very sweet sister.

Natsuki called out, 'Even if you make it a little easier...' but all three of them shook their heads desperately and said, 'Because life is hanging!' And I put my mouth together.

If you ask what the situation is, the three of them are called "leftovers".

He doesn't have a family business or farmland to inherit, and if he stays like this, he's going to have to be an adventurer.

In other words, if we succeed in this, we can get a stable profession and we can get married.

A sunny and bright life is promised, but if it fails, it ends at that point.

Diora, Deputy Guild Branch Manager, also remembers poorly, in worse shape than he would normally be an adventurer, with a negative start.

It almost feels dead or alive.

Yeah, don't get me involved, and I'm kind of sorry.

But there's a pretty good chance of success, so all I'm saying is good luck.

Natsuki's instruction in such a state ends in about three days, and the first planting is successfully completed.

I haven't finished the liquor yet, but I just hope it comes with the yeast well after that.

That's how we finally get back to our original job, exploring the dungeons.
