The unique smell of the Adventurer's Guild spilled outward from beyond the western-style door, as usual.

It wasn't very pleasant, mainly a mixture of alcohol, earth and nature scents, and the bloody smell of the return blood of the demons that fought against it, but the wildness of the smell gave it an adventurer's guild feel.

''Well, are Aina and the others here?''

I walked up to the Adventurer's Guild to see the reaction to my haircut, but it's only on days like this that I don't see anyone I know, so it's a bumpy ride.......
Oh, but the lady selling vegetables gave me one of her peaches, saying it was cool.

When I walked in through the door, the place was busy as usual and no one noticed that I had come in.
At a glance, Aina and the others aren't there, but...oh, that moshiach hair is Freddah.
It seems that three female adventurers have gathered at the same table, drinking and having girl talk.

It's a good idea to have a good time. Is Aina and the others here?
'Oh, brother. 　Na-na-na!
"Banana?
'No, sir!　What's going on with your hair!
I just cut it off. Is that weird?
"Not that it's weird, it's... what?　It's so good looking that just the hair makes such a difference!

I'm sure you'll be able to find a much better result if you look at Freddah, who has a lot of her natural cheerfulness and is leaning forward to her body in a flash.

I'm glad to see that. That's good, then. I'm glad to hear that. Can I stay with you until Aina and the others come back?
'Yes, sir!　Go ahead!

He took the trouble to pull out a chair for me and I sat down there.
Apparently all three of them had already been drinking, and there were fruit wine and snacks lined up on the table.

The three women got together and started drinking before the evening, huh?
'What!　You have a problem with that!

A catman girl with tiger-printed ears, who seemed to be heavily drunk already, bared her fangs and entangled with me.
With her tube tops covering her tits, her belly button and belly button fully exposed, the wild girl was a hoot!　And the hair stands on end.

'You look pretty rough.... Have you had that much to drink already?
Not really. He recently broke up with his girlfriend. So I'm listening to him complain about it today.

The one who answered is a witch-like sister of a bewitching system.
She is an adult woman who exudes a rather mysterious atmosphere with her cleavage exposed as if to show off her boobs, wearing a witch-like hat and hiding one eye with her long hair.

''Ah, I see........''
'Ha!　You're probably going to say you should be more ladylike anyway!　You say I should make you look like a girl or something!
'No, I think it's nice to be honest with myself. Now, I'm thirsty too, and I'll have something to drink.

He seemed to have settled down with a chirpy drink he had, 'Oh, oh.......then it's okay.

'What's Freddah drinking?'
'What?　You mean this?　This is Umul fruit wine mixed with lemonia and peaches, but...

If I were to call it an uml nut, it would be like a plum tree.
It has a refreshing citrus taste and the sweetness of the peaches to balance it out.

I'm sure it's a good idea. Can I have a bite?
'What?　Hi, is that a bite?!
Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. I don't care how well we get along, I don't like it when a guy drinks.
I didn't mean... it's just, indirectly...

His words became minuscule as he moved backwards, and his body got smaller and smaller towards the end, so I couldn't hear what he said.
I can't hear what he said, or rather, I think he looks a little strange.

The first time I saw him, he was a good man. There's no good man in here until just now!　You've been drinking vulgarly with your legs spread wide open, screaming, "What's wrong with you?" and now you're acting like a damsel in distress.
'Ha, ha!


Speaking of Freddah, she's usually friendly and cheerful, regardless of gender, and is a secretly popular girl in this adventurer's guild.

However, when she drinks, she has a lot of gaps, and when she's drunk, you can see a lot of things through the cracks, but I don't care!　It's about as sketchy as it sounds, but he certainly seems a bit quiet today.
Come to think of it, he even takes my mug to drink, so I'm sure he's not averse to drinking the same drink as me, but.......

''Be-, it's just like normal!　It's still open!　Here, kaput!

Freddah deliberately opens her large legs, but like Renge, they're shorts, so if they're opened too wide, there's a big gap around the crotch and the underwear underneath is visible.

You can see your underwear underneath it. I can see you........
Nothing, nothing?　We don't care if you can see us or not.　Huh?　What is it?　Do you want to see it?　Then I'll show you in person!

Freddah, who no longer has her head spinning around, let alone her eyes, and feels like she doesn't even understand what she's saying, is about to put her hands on her pants right now, and I hurriedly stop her.
Tongues and boos could be heard from various directions from front, back, left and right, but consider that you guys who will be busted later on when you come to your senses were also saved.......
I mean, shut up for a minute.
Here's a glimpse of "Tathana Kunar".

"Freddie, I want you to calm down...

Be as mature as the men who saw Tatana Kunar.........
They started drinking at their own table as fast as they could to stay out of it, and their cooperation and judgement in staying out of our way was outstanding.

''I'm calm and it's normal!　Hey, hey, hey, hey!　You can have a drink if you want!　By the way, here's the part I mentioned!　If you have the guts to drink from here, go ahead!
Yeah, yeah. Well, I'll take it.
I could lick it off with a lick of the tongue, but oh, no!

I accept the mug and take a sip.
The sweet and sourness of the umul and the torn pulp of the peaches give it a thick sweetness that comes in later, and along with the alcohol, the citrusy freshness of the slightest bit of lemonia passes through the nose.
It's easy to drink and yet delicious, utilizing the flavor of each liquor, juice and pulp.

Hmmm........hah. It's so good. I think I'm going to have to swallow it all in one go.

But fruit wine is surprisingly high in alcohol content....
If you gulp it down, you'll get drunk faster.


Hmm?　Yeah, I didn't drink all of it, did I?　Sis, can I have a glass of Umul's, please?
Yes!

I like it, and that's what I'm going to do today.
Now we just need to find the ratio of lemonia to peaches to find the flavor we like.

'Yes wait!　If you're going to squeeze the lemonia, you'll need a knife, right?　Oh, but there are no peaches here.
'Yeah, thanks. I have my own peaches, so I'm good to go, but........................ Hand squeezing.... Hey, can I smelt some gold?
I don't mind.
Yes, I don't mind. It's a nice diversion to see the hottest alchemists in town in front of you.

Okay, I've been given permission, so let's get to work.
It's a simple alchemy, though, since all I have to do is make a squeezer.
What should I use for the material.......should I still make it from the original world and use orthodox glass?

I took out a sheet of glass and placed it on the table, using hand-forming (handing) to first make it round and then roughly shape it.

I made a frame for the vessel, made a groove in the center of the glass to make it easier to squeeze, and finally curved a part of the frame to make a spout.
Yup. Super easy. It's easy.

Next, let's make a fruit juice for peaches and so on.
Well, it's a juicer in a nutshell.
It's made of a glass container, a rotating sphere, and small, thin metal parts.

The lid is also made of slime, with a stretchable, absorbent lid, and all you have to do is set the magic stone in it, and you've got a juicer that you can put the cut fruit into and make juice from.

''Oh!''
And now what?　You're on the front foot.
No, it happened so fast...
'Your fingers are too smooth. That was brilliant.
'Well, it's from the original world, and I know how it's finished.

Well, the aperture is ... yeah. That's an easy one to squeeze.
For the peaches, I first put the knife in to the seeds and circled it around, twisting it in half before removing the seeds.
He split it further lengthwise and repeated it a few times to make it smaller, then laid the knife down on a plate, took the skin off the peaches and arranged them in chunks.

'You've got a good hand,'
Well, I'm getting there.
'I can't cook, you know. A boyfriend who's a good cook... not bad.
Oh, I wonder if your next boyfriend will be a cook?　........So how long will Freddah be staring at the cup?
Huh?
What?　If you don't want it, I'll take it.
No!

Freddah protects the mug that was about to be taken away from her by holding it to her chest.
Then, for some reason, she glances at me, then tilts the mug and dries the contents at once.

'An indirect kiss.'
Hmm..........

Oh, I think I've managed to endure spitting it out as much as I can.
However, a slight amount of alcohol has spilled out of his mouth.

''What do you mean--Wapu!
Uh-oh... hey, don't move, don't move.
Huh!

I took out a handkerchief to wipe the liquor from my mouth, but it quickly moved away from me, so I pressed down on it and wiped it away, and then she froze with her eyes closed.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. You're hot.
Don't tease me. It's not like we're in a position to worry about an indirect kiss at this point in time. Hey.
'Heh?　Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!　How many of your brother's mugs do you think I've been drinking from?　I'm already perched, perched!
'Hmm. Well then, I'll leave it at that.
Yes, please put it that way!　You see, you're not drinking at all!　Let's have some more drinks!　Sis!　Please bring it in a bottle!
''Uh-huh. It's fun....

The bewitching sister who squinted with pleasure, and Freddah who poured the liquor again and drank it vigorously.
And the drinking with the wild girl who continues to drink at a high pace while eating her snacks with gusto seems to be still going on.
Aina and the others aren't back yet, so I guess I'll have to keep up with them today.





In the forest near Ains Hale, we had come for an urgent quest to defeat the Red Blood Plant, a plant-type demon that emits red sap, and as time passes, its numbers explode.
Red Blood Plants are plant-type demons that emit red sap, and their numbers explode as time passes, and the ranks of the quest to defeat them increase according to their numbers.

This time, it seemed that their numbers had increased considerably, and we, the A-ranked adventurers, the Red Front (Red Line), were called out to them.

''Ahh. I wanted to see what your husband's hair would look like.

Renge muttered as he dodged a bellowing branch and crushed the Red Blood Plant with an intercepting fist.
Not so much in terms of strength, but it's tricky to avoid when there are so many of them attacking at the same time, but for us, we're used to it, so we don't mess up like that.

"Don't say that. If they continue to take root, they will deprive the earth of its nutrients. If that happens, we will all be in trouble, and so will our lord.
Right. But don't you want to see Aina soon too?
'Well I can't wait to see it too.

Aina puts flames on her sword and burns it to the ground.
He slashes and burns as if to say that it's still fire to the plant system, and speeds up his feet to quickly burn off the main body.

''Sorte-tan is the same, right?
....
He's in a bad mood.

I was referring to the fact that the Lord went to Mr. Riette's for a haircut today.
Why did you go to Mr. Riette?　I thought, but it's true that the alchemists are handy, and Leet would have an aesthetic sense as well, since she mainly makes medicines and cosmetics with a focus on beauty.
At the same time I was convinced that he would be at least better than us, and at the same time I was very curious about what kind of haircut he would have.



''I have a bad feeling about this.
What's going on?
'I wonder what it is......... I can't really describe it, but I have a very bad feeling about this...
Hm?　Does that mean there are more powerful demons out there that aren't Red Blood Plants?
Well it's not like that, is it?

It's not the kind of premonition that sends shivers down your spine, it's more like this ... the kind that alerts you to a woman's intuition.

'Then it's ... my lord?
'Yeah..... I wonder.
What do you mean by 'what'?　It's kind of scary, isn't it?
''.........Hmm.
Yeah, you two?　When you say that, it makes me somewhat uneasy....
Shall we finish the quest and go home?
Yeah. But let's make sure we burn the area down.
Yeah!　If you don't burn the area around where the roots were, they might come out again!

Well.....
A quest is a quest.
If we don't get rid of them completely, everyone else will be in trouble, so we have to keep them separate and do it well.
I just hope that this anxiety that's tugging at my heart is unfounded, but I don't think that's going to happen.......
