Spirit’s Paradise And The Idle Another World Life

ing.
Go ahead and start already.”

 

Nomo’s mood seems to be very good.
Does he really enjoy alcohol from another world?

 

“Onee-chan has been waiting since yesterday, too.
She’s tired of waiting.”

 

…Is that a joke? Should I apologize for being late?

 

“Oh, okay.
Let’s start then.
But there are only two bottles of alcohol, and the amount is not that much, so go easy on me.”

 

Saying that, I first pour my favorite Japanese sake and serve cheese and mixed nuts as snacks.
It may be simple, but it’s a feast for me.

 

“Hmm.
This is a beautiful vessel.
Is it made of glass?”

 

“Huh? Yeah, it’s a glass bottle.”

 

Nomos is intrigued by the sake bottle.
There’s glass here.
I definitely want to get a glass cup.

“Nomos.
Is glass easy to come by? I want a glass cup.”

 

“Well, glass is rare and hard to come by.
But if you make a contract with me, I can make glass for you quickly.”

 

… Glass is made from sand and such, right? It’s within Nomo’s territory.
I feel like glass has a fiery atmosphere.

 

“Can you make a glass cup?”

 

“Make a cup out of glass? It’s fragile, you know?”

 

“In my world, glass is used for cups and bottles, like this sake.
It doesn’t add any unwanted smells or tastes to food and drink.”

 

“I see.
It’s easy to mold into the shape of a cup, so I don’t mind.”

 

“Oh, that’s a relief.”

 

It seems like I can get quite a few glass products.
Can I also ask for pottery? No, if I mass-produce glassware and sell it, I could make a lot of money!

 

“Yuuta, let’s drink instead of talking.
I’m tired of waiting,” says Dyne.

 

“Oh, sorry Dyne.
I’ll finish preparing right away.”

 

I apologize to Dyne, who’s urging me to hurry up, and I bring out wooden cups for everyone.
The cups might smell like wood, but it can’t be helped since there’s nothing else.
With a bit of disappointment, I pour Japanese sake into each cup.

 

“Alright.
Everyone, thank you for taking care of various things.
Cheers!”

 

We clink our glasses and I take a sip of the long-awaited Japanese sake, savoring the beloved aroma passing through my nostrils.
I was supposed to be lazing around while drinking this, but… my Golden Week has turned out to be completely different from what I had planned.

 

“Oh, this is nice.
It has a delicate and sweet fruity aroma.
The taste is refreshing and goes down smoothly.
But this sake is quite strong in alcohol content, isn’t it?”

 

…Whoa, Slyphy-san.
Are you a gourmet critic or something? I can only tell if something smells good or tastes good…

 

“Ah, it’s weaker than the sake I’m planning to serve next, but it still has a decent amount of alcohol content.”

 

“I see.
It has more alcohol content than ale and is less rough in taste.
It’s very delicious,” Slyphy remarked.

 

Is Slyphy the type to be particular about the taste? That’s why she won’t accompany me in just eating grilled seafood and rice.

 

“Yuta-chan, this is delicious,” said Dyne, smiling brightly for some reason.
I like sake, but I’m not so sensitive to delicate flavors like her.
I’m glad Dyne just enjoys it simply.

 

“If you like it, that’s good to hear.
Sake from my hometown is made with an emphasis on water, so I’m proud if it pleases the Water Great Spirit,” I explained.

 

“I see.
So the sake is made with water in mind.
Then it must also have the taste of the water from another world.
That’s wonderful,” Dyne said.

 

I don’t really know the taste of water, but I wonder what happened to Nomos and Dolly? I turned to Nomos and saw that Slyphy and Dolly were engrossed in discussing the taste of the sake.

 

Words like “the aroma of grains” and “the balance” were flying around.
I’m glad they’re seriously enjoying the sake, but I wish they could drink it a little more casually.

 

However, even the pretty girl Dolly likes alcohol.
While her refined atmosphere remains unchanged, she is firmly enjoying the sake and discussing it.
Surprising.

 

“Yuta-chan, the cheese is also delicious.
It has more richness than the ones in this world, and it’s wonderful,” Dyne added.

 

Dyne seemed to be enjoying the snacks as well, her gentle smile soothing to the eyes.
Wait, I just heard something good.

 

“Dyne, does this world also have cheese?” I asked.

 

“Yes, it does,” she replied.

 

Great.
As someone who loves cheese, this is good news.
Having familiar ingredients makes life easier, and she mentioned ale, which is a type of beer.
That means I can enjoy beer too.
Surprisingly, this world may be more livable in terms of food.

 

“Come to think of it, Dyne, can you chill water or make ice?” I asked.

 

“Hmm, I can do that.
Making ice is a little different, but it’s a piece of cake for me as the Great Water Spirit,” she replied, looking proud.

 

If she can make ice, it’s not a problem.
I can enjoy whiskey on the rocks.
But if I ask her to make ice here, I’ll probably run into some restrictions.

 

It’s a hassle, but I’ll have to do some clumsy acting later.
If I asked Rain, it would be quicker, but she said that her domain is a little different, so it might be difficult.

 

Slyphy and Nomos are still discussing the taste of the sake, but their pace hasn’t slowed down.
Dyne and I are just drinking normally.
We’re running out of sake soon.

 

I’m planning to serve whiskey next, but everyone except me doesn’t seem to give off any signs of being drunk.
It seems like we don’t have enough alcohol.

 

“Dyne, are there similar things to these beans in this world?” I asked.

 

“Hmm, let me see.
Onee-chan has eaten these, these, and these before,” she replied.

 

Oh, they have almonds, peanuts, and walnuts here.
It seems like there are many similar plants after all.
I’ll have her try some rice later.
If we could get rice, it would shed light on my life in this other world.

 

“Come to think of it, Dyne, you said you were going to change the conditions for our contract.
Is it settled? I’m leaving tomorrow morning,” I asked.

 

Dyne suddenly stopped moving.
…She definitely forgot.
