　While I was drunk and asleep, Belle and her friends were guiding the intermediate spirits. Gina and the others taught the intermediate spirits who were interested in handbells how to use them, and Flare tried his best, even though he was a little misdirected. They are all very good kids.

"Hmmm, I don't know what to do..."

　I lie on the sofa, petting and tickling Belle and Sakura, who cling to me, while I think.

　I had expected that paradise would become busier in the next few days after the big banquet, when the middle class spirits would come to visit, but that was not the case at all.

　Ruby seems to be having a bit of a hard time because of the direct increase in the amount of food she has to cook, but she is full of motivation, and the other facilities have become rather easy because of the increased number of intermediate spirits who take care of the lower level spirits and the floating spirits in a detailed manner.

　It seems that I don't have to worry about being stuck in paradise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then I will have free time to do whatever I want.

　I've already cut off Sarah's visit to Mr. Viktor and my journey of self-discovery halfway through, and it would be nice to resume them, but I can't let go of the idea of inviting ...... Mel and Meraru to paradise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sure I'll do both, but which should I do first?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know if Mel and Meral can suddenly take a day off from work, so it would be better to just talk to them first. ...... I kind of don't want to go near the labyrinth city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have a bad feeling that I'm going to face my sins even though it hasn't been that long.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But if I resume my journey of self-discovery, the invitation to Mer and Meraru's paradise might be delayed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hmmm... I am in a quandary.

"Yuta. May I have a word?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yuta, you're sloppy. You want me to get you fired up?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?　Nomos and ifs. It's rare for two people to come to my house in the daytime. And I'll refrain from being enthusiastic."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What is it about these two people, who rarely come near the house except for banquets, that brings them together?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And please don't say I'm in high spirits just because I was lounging on the sofa in the living room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm, Yuta seems to be a bit distracted now that the banquet is over, so it might be a good idea to get If to get him fired up, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, Sylphy, don't say unnecessary things. I was just thinking. What's the matter?　What do you want?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think iff would hurt me, but I don't like it because it sounds hotter than iff spirit and guts. Let's move on with the conversation.

"Mm. I've got some booze I put down in the sea and I want to check it out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The Spirit Kings have returned, so it's about time, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yes, of course. It's been more than six months since we put the spirits in the ocean.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We were talking about checking it out soon, so why don't we have a big feast and tasting event anyway?　I asked ...... if the spirit kings were there, but they put it off because they said they would be able to drink less if they were there.

　Sylphy and her friends are generous in most things, but when it comes to alcohol, they get greedy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, it's just past noon ...... but that's OK."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Fortunately, today is not the day the spirits come to visit Paradise, so it's fine. Or, since today is a holiday, they probably planned to drink from noon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm. I'm looking forward to this new drink. Sylphy, are you ready?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How close is it to the whiskey that Yuta-san let me drink?　I'm looking forward to it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Haha, I don't think I've ever had that drink before. I can't wait to see what it's like."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Deanne, Dolly and Vita showed up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that communication is already in full swing among the ...... Great Spirits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, Yuta doesn't mind. Well then, Dine and I will go and collect the alcohol, and Yuta, please prepare the snacks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... yeah."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Great Spirits were moving briskly with expressions of delight at the tasting of the new alcohol, but I'm not convinced for a moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I had expressed my objection to a daytime banquet, they would have tried to push me outnumbered, wouldn't they?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Should I nail him down a little?　I thought about it, but then I realized that the Great Spirits looked a lot like Belle and the others who were sobbing before the food stall tour.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They all live longer than I can imagine, but I was a little relieved to see a glimpse of their childishness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yuta, enkaai?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Belle, clinging to his chest, asks a question with an excited expression. I guess she is expecting a feast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's not a banquet. Is it like a sake tasting?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Shi-ing?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The word "tasting" doesn't seem to ring a bell.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, let's see, we're going to taste the new sake."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Bell and the others are nodding their heads, but I'm not sure they understand. Sakura, in particular, seems to be enjoying just nodding her head along with the others, and has started laughing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's why there will be no treats, so you guys go outside and play."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Belle and Sakura cheerfully run out of the house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... hmm, it would be sad if they misunderstand that their master is drinking at a banquet in the daytime, and it would be better to tell Gina and the others who are training outside about the tasting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not a banquet but a tasting of new products. This is important.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A barrel of sake is placed in front of you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even after six months, the glass coating the barrel has become dirty with algae and seaweed, but when Nomos removes the glass, it looks just like an ordinary sake barrel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The eyes of the great spirits are focused on me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, they are going to leave the honor of opening the keg to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we make them wait, they will start to act up. Nomos and If's eyes are glaring and scary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I take out a metal spatula to open the lid of the sake barrel, insert it into the gap between the lid and apply force using the principle of leverage, and the lid comes off with a snap.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Hmmm, the smell of alcohol is not so strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I scoop up the distillate with the ladle and pour it into the clear, colorless glass cup Nomos made for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, the color is pale. But does the color mean it's not matured enough to be successful?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I like whiskey, but I'm not that familiar with the process of making it, so it's hard for me to judge. But at least it doesn't seem to be rotten.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I wonder?　But it is true that the color is not as deep as the whiskey that Yuta gave me to drink. Yuta, how does it smell?　And please check the taste as soon as possible."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, you don't have to wait for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess they are entrusting me to taste and do other things out of respect for me as the maker, but the pressure is so intense that it's annoying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What kind of stubborn craftsman are you, Nomos?　They look at me with eyes like, "What are you doing?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At my words, the great spirits rush to pick up the ladle and pour the spirits into the cups.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm, the aroma is not bad. It's simple compared to Yuta's whiskey, but it's definitely better than freshly distilled whiskey.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. The smell is much better. The taste is ...... well, I see ...... this is the effect of letting the liquor rest. At first I didn't understand the point of letting it stand, but if it changes so much, it must make sense to let it stand. But six months is nothing like Yuta's whiskey.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, it is. The depth of flavor is different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But, I don't mind this one either!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Delicious, huh?　Was Yuta's sake even better than this?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If is right, I thought it tasted good too, but ...... Yuta's drink seems to be even better than this."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sylphy, Dine, Nomos and Dolly, who know what real whiskey tastes like, reacted very differently from If and Vita, who did not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the feeling is not so bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After watching the spirits, I take a sip from my glass.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... It is definitely much easier to drink than freshly distilled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sting of alcohol is lessened and the aroma is a bit more complex than when it was alcohol-only.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I think the whiskey craftsmen would be offended if I called it whiskey.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it is certainly not bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It may not be a whisky, but if it is aged more, it will be a drink to be enjoyed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nomos is passionate about alcohol, and I can see the possibility that they will continue their research and create an alcohol that can compete with real whiskey.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm not sure if I'll be alive by then. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey!　Boys, now is still the time to taste the liquor!　Don't drink so much!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I think you can taste the alcohol when you drink it like this, sister. It's okay. There's still plenty of alcohol in the sea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, it's only when you slurp it down your throat that you get the full flavor of this strong alcohol and liquor!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Correction. If we could age it properly and study it, we might be able to make a drink that can compete with real whiskey.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the spirit kings and other spirits realize the possibility of aging alcohol, it will be very difficult to age it for three years.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Dine and If empty their cups with a clink. Sylfie, Dolly, and Vita are slowly draining their drinks, even though they seem to be enjoying them slowly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My glass is not even half empty yet, but the barrel seems to be about a third full.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is it hopeless to finish it in my lifetime?　Nomos, hang in there!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Also, it was Sylphy who told me to prepare the snacks, right?　Nobody is touching the snacks, though, are they?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah, it's not fair!　It's not fair that we get to sample new drinks all by ourselves!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right. That's not fair!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, we are all friends who will make this paradise together, aren't we? Wouldn't it be right for you to at least say a few words to us?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......It's sad to be left out of the group ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"ugh ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, you're sniffing around."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The nomos clicked their tongues when Ruby and the others suddenly appeared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It hadn't occurred to me to call Ruby and the others, but I guess Nomos had intentionally left them out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had thought that all the spirits had personalities, although each of them had their own indescribable characteristics, but that impression was about to be destroyed. Drinking is scary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah. It's Ruby."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Whoa, guys. Hello!　Hmm?　Yuta's brothers are not with us, okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Osake!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's rare to see you drinking in the daytime, you know?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Shinsaku-"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?　I thought I heard some words I couldn't miss, you know?　Guys, I need some details!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... can't keep doing this!　Everybody, we've got an emergency meeting!　We're going straight to them!"
