CH 40.2

It wasn’t until spring that I was able to do my next experiment.

I have been so busy these days.

Preparations for the wedding, school research, plays, plays, and more plays.

In case you were wondering, I tried selling the super high spirit sake last winter and it became a hit among adventurers.

They were bored because of the snow and were just hanging out in bars. They enjoy seeing someone, who lost a card match or something, a cup of spirits…..

Well, it has no flavor after all.

It’s normal to be used as a punishment…..

Putting that failed product aside, a newly found method is awesome.

It doesn’t use that demonic device that summons alcohol spirit but rather, applies support magic directly to the yeast to make sake.

It strengthen, strengthen, and strengthen the yeast’s fermenting power…..

I successfully made sake in a day and night.

The yeast, which doesn’t soil even when the temperature rises to the point that steam comes out, breaks down the sugar and converts it into alcohol. It even completed the second fermentation without any decline in strength.

Normally, yeast is removed to prevent it from soiling and producing a bad smell but this process is now completely ignored.

It was too strong and too crude but it was definitely an ale.

The yeast, which was strengthened too much, might have an effect on human body so it is magically removed.

The problem is the taste…..

I called my second brother Shishiriki to my room and poured a glass of sake without saying a word.

I’m glad that I have the right person in the house.

He surprisingly has a discerning palate when it comes to alcohol.

「You want me to drink this?」

「Yeah」

I answered with a smile. He smiled back and downed the ale.

He tasted it in his mouth and swallowed it with relish.

Good, given the reaction, it shouldn’t be too bad.

「The wheat used came from here but this is certainly not made in any of Torquiva’s cellars.」

「Eh! How did you know?」

「Because I have already tasted everything around before.」

It seems like my second brother is more talented than I thought.

I poured him another glass and he took it with a smile.

「It looks like ale but it doesn’t taste like ale at all.」

「Eh? What do you mean?」

「You haven’t tried it yet? Try it～」

I took a small sip when he poked me with his elbow.

Eh?

My tongue, which had been expecting a bitter taste, was swallowed by sweetness.

It’s easy to drink. It’s like juice.

This time, I poured a full glass.

Someone tugged my sleeve from the side so I poured some into my second brother’s glass as well.

「Yeah」

I don’t know why but it made me feel strangely nostalgic.

It’s good but it has a bit of a quirk.

It is wheat but has a medicinal smell, like apricot tofu….

No….

I’ve tasted this before.

This tastes like Dr.*epper.

「This tastes interesting. Where did you get it?」

「No, I made it.」

「You made it!? Amazing!」

「I made it with magic. I guess that’s why it tastes funny.」

「No, no, it tastes interesting. I think this will sell well.」

「If second brother says so, I guess it will.」

「Yeah, give me another one.」

Thus, I successfully received the recommendation of the drunkard of our family.

However, it never occurred to me that my fiancée, Laura, would get so hooked on it that she asked me to prepare hundreds of bottles of it as our wedding souvenir….
