292 - - Episode 290 Schedule Confirmation

We welcomed our first guests to the village of spirits, and despite the difficulties, we successfully completed the three-day, two-night itinerary. Mr. Alvard took the spirits away a while ago, and Bell and the others were sad, but I was relieved that it was over without incident.

I was supposed to be relieved and relax a little, but for some reason I'm being pressed by If and Onyx as to who should be in charge of the bar. They're spirits, they should be more emotional.

"Well, I don't think you have to do it alone. The tavern will be busy, so we can start with just the two of us, and when the village grows, we can open a tavern for each other. That way you can learn the know-how of the tavern and have an idea of the kind of tavern you want to build, right?"

It's a bit of a put-off and a bit of an iridescent answer, but I don't think it's a bad idea at all. At least the conflict will be settled.

"Oh?　Know-how and image of a bar?　It's enough to prepare plenty of drinks and snacks. I don't need to learn it, I know it."

Huh?　Onyx is nodding his head, and the bar is easy?　Also, I think I'm more excited than usual, but I don't know. She's a beautiful woman, she should be a little more concerned about her s*x appeal. .......

"Let's see, what kind of bars are there in this world?"

I've never been to a bar in this world, so I don't know what the atmosphere is like. It's not that I wasn't interested, and the relationship with the Adventurer's Guild was resolved peacefully.

Even with the Gulli family, I have no problem going to a bar for a drink. But I couldn't go out for a drink because I was afraid that if I did something strange, the rumor would spread. Yeah, it's hard being famous. Where do you sell sunglasses?

"Oh?　A bar?　If you serve alcohol in a diner, it's a bar. And why do you look so proud?"

If he thought he was famous or something, he would have looked proud. I guess I'm totally self-conscious now. Anyway, let's stop getting carried away and think about the bar. From IF's description, it seems that bars in this world are basically like taverns.

"I'm glad you can forget the boastful look on your face. Anyway, it's like a diner serving alcohol. ......"

There are probably other bars where girls will be willing to help you, but it's a sensitive subject and it's dangerous to check with If and Onyx about it.

I'll ask Nomos or Vita in secret. ...... No, I'm planning to go on a trip alone soon. Nomos and Vita are trustworthy, but we should reduce the possibility of them finding out as much as possible. I'll see for myself when I go visit them.

"Yuta, what's wrong?"

"IF, maybe there are many bars in Yuta's brother's world. That's why the topic of know-how and image came up.

"What!　Hey, Yuta. What kind of bars are there in Yuta's world?"

"Oh, uh, let's see... ......."

As I was skipping from the bars with girls to the naughty bars, If grabbed me by the bosom. Onyx, Sylphy, Dine, and Nomos are also looking at me from the side. Nomos notwithstanding, I'm not averse to being pursued by the other beauties, ...... though their eyes are scary.

"Yuta, what kind of bars are there in your world?"

Sylphy asked me seriously about the bars in my original world. He seems to be very interested in it. If, please don't shake him.

"Well, do you know if there are taverns or bars where people drink alcohol exclusively? If, please let go of my hand, I'm in pain."

"Oh, oh. Sorry."

If let go of my hand. Whew, I don't know, but I'm going to dig a grave if I talk too much, so I'll just stick to pubs and bars. If I accidentally talk about cabarets or 00pubs, my fresh, not to say ......, but surprisingly serious image I've built up so far will be destroyed.

"So, Yuta, what is an izakaya and a bar?　Do you have good drinks?"

Deanne asks with an excited look on her face. ...... Izakaya and bar is hard to explain.

"Well, a tavern is more like a bar in this world, isn't it?　It's a place where there are many dishes on the menu that go well with alcohol, and where you can enjoy drinking while having fun."

"What about bars?"

"The bar is a place where ...... bartenders, who are professionals in the field of alcoholic beverages, select the best drinks. You can enjoy a good drink in a dimly lit but atmospheric room in a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

Well, some bars have a different atmosphere like darts bars or pool bars, but it's hard to explain.

"You're a professional drinker?　Does he make good wine?　What kind of liquor do you make?"

"No, I don't think that's what Nomos has in mind for brewing. There are countless liquors in the world where I come from. A layman like me doesn't know what kind of drink tastes good, so I guess I just tell the bartender what I like and he'll introduce me to the best ones."

As for cocktails, ...... teaching them now would be a no-no because the spirits inventory is going to be drastically depleted. Dine is still drinking quite a bit, and if the other great spirits start drinking too, we won't have time to put the spirits to bed.

"Yuta's brother, tell me more about it. I think I like the atmosphere of the bar."

You're a spirit of darkness, and you're attracted to the dimness of the place?　But even if you asked me to go into detail, how would I talk about it, except for the cocktails: ...... the tools, the atmosphere, the bar's particular obsessions?

I told you as much as I could about ............ bars. Sylphy, Nomos, Dolly and Vita seem to like it. They seem to be attracted to the idea of taking their time with their drinks. On the other hand, Dine and If are not so good at being noisy.

"We'll need at least a few spirits, and some with different ages. It's not going to be easy to open a bar anytime soon.

Onyx is mumbling and pondering. She is attracted to the bar, but seems to be making a calm decision that it is impossible under the current circumstances. After a few moments of contemplation, Onyx speaks to If and starts talking about opening a tavern. Apparently, they are thinking in the direction of a tavern rather than a bar. He is going to ask us to open a tavern in a few days.

With more and more adult spirits coming to the village as chaperones, having a tavern is not a bad idea, but ...... the supply of alcohol is going to be a problem. I'll make sure to check the restrictions on the exchange of spirit money.

Before I know it, Sylphy and Ruby and the others are gathered in front of me, and a meeting about the tavern has begun. What should I do? ...... The Belles are back to full health and are playing around with Fukuchan and the others.

"Ah, Gina, Sara, Marco, Kikka. Thank you for helping me for the past two nights and three days. You can go ahead and do whatever you want today. Go play."

"Oh, Master, then I want to cook!

"Me too."

With a snap, Gina raised her right hand, followed by Sarah. Gina and the others must have been quite busy, but now they have the energy to cook. I envy their youth.

"That's fine. Let me know when you decide what ingredients you need. What about Marco and Kikka?

"Well, what do you want to do, Kikka?"

"Kikka, I want to go to the store!　Zakka-ya!"

When Marco asked Kikka if there was anything she wanted to do, Kikka cheerfully insisted on what she wanted to do. It's a good thing that she can now clearly express her own opinions, but ...... a grocery store or .......

"Uh, Kikka, I'm sorry, but the owner of the grocery store is in there talking. Can't you just leave the grocery store for a little later?"

It's easy to tell Emme that she's a customer, but she's been working hard in this village opening, and I feel sorry for her that she can't join in the tavern talk. Kikka nodded her head in understanding.

"Oniichan, Kikka, I want to play in the park!"

"Okay, let's go to the park!　Master!　We're going to the park.

"Yes, go ahead. I'll have Emme pick you up at the park when she's free.

I see Marco and Kikka off, waving cheerfully as they run, and return to my room, handing over the food that Gina and Sara have asked for. Gina and Sara's cooking for dinner tonight ...... is kind of extravagant in a way. I have some time to kill before dinner, so I have a cup of coffee and start planning for my solo trip.

I'm the type of person who buys a guidebook and reads it thoroughly before going on a trip, but alas, there is no guidebook in this world. If you don't have some guidelines, you will end up doing nothing. Preparation is important.

****

Well, my plans during the trip were completed quickly ...... rather than too little information and my schedule is skimpy. I really need to search for it. Well, I'm anxious, but there's no use in asking for something I don't have. I've come to another world. Let's stop relying on the Internet and guidebooks, and change our style of travel to one that enjoys encounters with the unknown.

During the daytime, we wander around the royal city of the Kingdom of Beryl for sightseeing and shopping for ingredients and tools that we couldn't get in the labyrinth city. We must buy eels at this time so that we don't forget them. For a night out, we can hit up a bar in King's Landing and ask for local recommendations.

We have decided how to have fun in King's Landing, though it's a game of chance. Now we just have to decide when to go there. I'd like to leave today, but I guess I should hold off until I have a guest in the next spirit village. From now on, there will be more attendant spirits and intermediate spirits, so we should make sure that the village of spirits will be managed without any problems before we leave.

I thought of going to the labyrinth city first, but with my current tension, I don't think I can bear to delay my visit for another 10 days or more. I'm sorry to Gina who might be worried about her parents' diner, but it's only for two nights and three days, so I'll ask her to bear with me a little.

Yeah, it's decided. Now that the schedule is set, I'll make sure that paradise won't have any problems without me, and I'll give Gina and the kids some new assignments to keep them occupied.

The new task is... I hope it will not be a task that can be completed easily like the one in the Rose Garden, but a task that can be completed with the cooperation of the spirits over a long period of time and that will be useful to paradise.

There are many facilities that would be useful for paradise or that ...... would be nice to have, but they are not realistic, and when I think of facilities that can be built by the little army + Gina, it is quite difficult because there are not many options. We need to come up with good ideas before we leave, so we may have less time than we think.
