  When I brought the『Slimes’ nucleus』to the【Suga town】, our guild points went over 100 and our adventurers’ rank rose from『E』to『D』. Incidentally, the guild points required in order to become『C』rank seemed to be 300.

  Also, our Aurum increased to a total of 18, 350 A. It’ll be fine even if I don’t earn money for a while. If I can exchange this to Japanese Yen, I could live luxuriously in Japan.~

  As such, we went to see the dwarf occhan of the weapons and armors shop for the first souvenir.

  「Hello~」


  「Oh, the lad from the last time, what’s your name again?」


  「Hahaha! We haven’t introduced ourselves to each other, I’m Seiji.」


  「As for me, my name is『Gamudo』. It’s nice to meet you again.」


  Gamudo-san and I shook hands firmly.

  「By the way, what’s your business for coming today?　Weapon?　Or Armor?」


  「Before that, I’ve brought a souvenir today.」


  「Souvenir, you mean……」


  I put the【Whiskey】on the table with a broad smile.

  「It’s not Ale, is it? But, a liquor?」


  「Yes, it’s a liquor that became #1 in a liquor competition of my hometown.」


  「What is it!!?」


  Gamudo-san leaned forward suddenly.

  「Well, how about a straight first.」6

  I took out a glass from the inventory and poured a little bit of whiskey. At the same time, a gentle fragrance of sweet malt spread around.

  「W-, What is this fragrance!　This is a fragrance of liquor!?」


  「Well then, take a sip.」


  「U-, Umu.」


  When Gamudo-san fearfully brought the glass close to his mouth, a strong fragrance went through his nose. Gamudo-san flinched for a moment, but made up his mind and poured it into his mouth.

  With a *thud*, the instant it entered his mouth, a refreshing rich flavor spread from his mouth throughout his body.

  「……」


  Gamudo-san had been immersed in the lingering aftertaste in silence, suddenly, a tear drop ran down from his eye.

  「Ojii-sama! What happened to you!?」


  「It’s a lie……　Such a delicious liquor, it’s impossible to be from this world……」


  「Was it so delicious?」


  「Oh, oh, it’s not in the delicious level anymore……」


  「It’s good that you’re happy, it’s worth that I brought it with me.」


  「Shit, if you brought such a delicious liquor, what am I suppose to do!　I’ve got no money to buy this delicious liquor.」


  「We didn’t come here to sell liquor today, we’ve come to buy armor. Besides, I brought this for you as a souvenir.」


  「Is that so, armor!　Sure thing!　I’ll make the best armors for you guys!」


  Gamudo-san became excited and measured our size for the armors, since he said that it would take a week to complete the armors, we left Gamudo-san’s shop.
