Eguchi: Thank you for reading âTondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshiâ this year as well! I look forward to your continued support next year!
Gumihou: *Sob* I only found that this chapter had been overwritten after putting up everything else, Iâm so sorry!!!
âYes, yes! Me next~!â
Yes, yes, itâs Agni-sama next.
I was already moving the heavy cardboard boxes from my [Item Box] to the rug in front of me. âHereâs Agni-samaâs portion.â
Naturally, it was all beer.
A variety of beers.
Beers of all kinds!
Carton beer:
1 carton of Company S Premium Beer
1 carton of Company S Seasonal Beer
1 carton of Y-bis Premium Beer
Additionally, Agni-sama said, âHey, I really like those fancy beers that came in a bottle last time. Can I have another set? No, get as many different sets as possible. I want to try as many as my budget allows it!â
Naturally, I consulted Tanaka Liquor Store and found that they have all kinds of carefully curated tasting craft beer sets that have won competitions at various beer festivals. There were sets of imported black beers, Hokkaido beers and much, much more. I made sure to include as many kinds of beers as possible.
I hope you will be satisfied with my choice, Agni-sama!
âAwesome! Letâs drink today! Thanks!â
Please drink as much as you please.
I was grateful for Agni-samaâs request because shopping for her stuff was an educational experience for me. Before this, whenever I thought of beer, only Company S or Company A came to mind, but after starting to make beer offerings for Agni-sama, I have learned a lot about local and overseas beer which I would not normally try. I am truly grateful.
âIt is I next, please hurry.â
It was rare for Ruka-sama to sound so urgent.
âIsnât it because you are slow?â
Apologies. Anyway, I started placing boxes on the carpet. Inside the boxes were Ruka-samaâs usual order of cakes and ice-creams. In place of the Dorayaki and whole cakes, I prepared as many varieties of ice-creams as possible from [Net Super] and Fujiya. I also prepared three tubs of vanilla ice-cream from three different vendors.
I hope Ruka-sama will enjoy it.
âYes, I am happy with your offering.â
Good, next-
âItâs us!!â
âYo! Iâve been waiting!â
âGet the whisky out!â
âWhisky! Whisky! Whisky!â
Ugh, the warmth I felt from serving Ruka-sama and Agni-sama is fading quicklyâ¦
Letâs just give these Gods their liquor and leave quickly.
Anyway, the request put it was all kinds of expensive liquors again:
First â 12-year-old premium bourbon
âIt says World No. 1 on the label!â
âWe must get it!â
Snort, whatever, sure.
Second â American whisky made by one of the small-scale independent spirits makers. This whisky is made by ageing four carefully selected ingredients inside heavily charred oak barrels.
âSuch dedication! Such charm!â
âOnly small-scale producers would have such creativity!â
âWe must taste this drink!â
âIt is our obligation to taste it!â
Uh huh.
Third â A true connoisseurâs whisky that adheres to strict traditional methods. From the germination of the barley down to the bottling method. Everything was carefully monitored. No additives such as caramel were added to influence the colour of the drink.
âMore importantly, its most distinct feature is its gorgeous aroma!â
âAs a whisky lover, I must smell this legendary scent myself!â
Sure, sure.
Fourth â is a whisky from Islay. Known for its intense character even among Scotch whiskies. Its flavour notes included peat, iodine, seaweed, wood and fruit. It has been aged for [1] 16 years, resulting in a rich taste that further highlights its individuality and balanced flavour.
âWe must taste the unique changes that a 16-year ageing brought to whisky!â
âJust what is it like!?â
While I do know that aged wines are considered good, is aged whisky the same I wonderâ¦
Fifth â Craft bourbon, 50% alcohol. A very popular whisky that has been aged for nine years inside oak barrels that had been fired twice, once at low temperature and again at high temperature, giving a complex aroma with a rich, deep flavour.
âSince it is a popular drink, we must try it too!â
âIf it is popular with the others, it must be delicious!â
I guess thereâs a kind of logic to that?
Sixth â Japanese whisky that was touted as âThe Best Whisky in the Worldâ
âCanât go wrong with that one!â
âOu!â
Aside from these six bottles of expensive, world-class liquors, the rest were all reasonably priced whiskies which I picked out from Tanakaâs ranking list.
A short while later, heavy carton boxes were placed on the carpet and-
âHyahahaha! Iâve been waiting for these!!â
âLetâs drink all night, God of War!â
âOu! Letâs drink to the fullest, God of Blacksmith!â
They disappeared with a clanking of glass bottles and slapping of sandals on stone floor. For a couple of alcoholics, these guys are pretty energetic.
âHaahh⦠at least thatâs over with now. Only Demiurgos-sama left.â
Now that I am free to shop without someone to hound me about their choices, I could play around a bit and have some fun.
Letâs see, the Tanaka Liquor Shop has a Top 5 Japanese saké tasting sets, and I have chosen to buy all five sets. The tasting sets were as follows.
[2]
1st place â Niigata
2nd place â A Nationwide popular brewery
3rd place â Akita Premium Set
4th place â Kanazawa Saké
5th place â Shinshu Suwa
[2] Speaking of which, since these are tasting sets, each set comes with five bottles of saké. However, I figured that since it had been a long time since my last offering to Demiurgos-sama, this much should be appropriate.
I have also prepared the usual 10 bottles of plum wine, bought according to the recommendation list as well as a wide variety of premium canned snacks.
Also, since Demiurgos-sama seemed to enjoy the offal hotpot from last time, I prepared another pot for him. Naturally, I included a packet of Chinese noodles for the âfinishing touchâ.
By the way, while I was absentmindedly preparing the hotpot, Fer and co. suddenly popped their heads in and cried âItâs offal hotpot!â and made such a fuss that we ended up having it for dinner.
We had been having nothing but Leviathan lately, so I was glad for the change.
âDemiurgos-sama, sorry for the wait, please accept these offerings~â
âFuoh, fuoh, fuoh, no need to worry, no need to worry, Iâm just glad that you did not forget. Though I must say, my servants have been pestering me about the plum wine. I fear that they are more disappointed than I.â
Servants? Hey, are you addicted to the stuff?
âAhem, in addition to the saké and snacks, I have also prepared some offal hotpot, please enjoy it.â
âAhh~~ that dish goes very well with saké, I shall enjoy it well. I look forward to it.â
Then, the things before me disappeared in a flash of light.
Thatâs right, offal hotpot goes very well with saké.
However, after tonightâs dinner, Iâm kind of running low on offal⦠I have to think of a way to get more soon.
[Gumihou: Oooh? Are we going to pay a visit to Rosendal soon?]
[1] I heard that whisky which had been aged past 16 years would not taste good. Is this true? They say over-aged whiskies tasted like pencil lead. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
[2] The original was just a bunch of running lines, canât get too excited about it
In 5th place is the Shinshu Suwa Gozou tasting set, followed by the Kanazawa local sake tasting set in 4th place, the Akita popular premium sake tasting set in 3rd place, the nationwide popular sake brewery Daiginjo tasting set in 2nd place, and the Niigata Gozou tasting set in 1st place.
