Chapter 84

Today, we are capturing the twenty-eighth floor. Including this, there are three more floors in the Dungeon of Ripples.

I see the end~ I came all the way here without any troubles thanks to Allen and Elena.

Well~ I hardly did anything until now~ …… Just cooking? As their guardian, I wonder if it’s all right……

Allen and Elena are having fun, but should I ask them to let me do the fighting……? I’m troubled, but……

「「Ah, a bear~」」

Allen and Elena who discovered a Water Bear broke into a run.

「「Yaa!」」

「Guaaah……」

And they insta-killed it.

「「Onii~chan, look, look~」」

The two put on the pelt which dropped and cheerfully returned to my side.

Ah…… yeah, asking them to leave it to me would be impossible. I can’t s.n.a.t.c.h the two’s amus.e.m.e.nt~

「That’s a large pelt, isn’t it~」

「「Un! Like Joule and Feat~ Is enough~?」」

「N? …… Yeah, it’s enough~ I did not forget, so let’s have it made properly, okay?」

「「Un!」」

It’s the Joule and Feat heavy winter clothing imitation they wanted to make.

We were talking just about coats at that time, but looking at the amount of pelts we have gathered, we have more than enough to make a whole body animal costume~ Rather, wouldn’t that be better?

《Whatwhat~?》

『Naa~?』

「「Same~」」

《N?》

『Nnaa?』

Joule and Feat whose names came out showed interest in the topic, but the two animals tilted their heads at Allen’s and Elena’s words.

Well, they wouldn’t understand just from being told “same” right~

「Ah, the plan is to make Allen’s and Elena’s coats from the Water Bear pelt in Joule’s and Feat’s style」

《Me!? Really!?》

『Nnaa!?』

When I convey to Joule and Feat so they would understand, the two animals showed a surprise and then their bodies expressed happiness.

《Eh, that bear just now? Just the pelt? Shouldn’t we get more of that then? Alright, let’s look for bears~》

『Naa~』

「「Ohh~」」

「No, wait a moment! We have enough pelts already!」

Thus, Joule and Feat ran off to search for Water Bears in high tension. Together with Allen and Elena…… I chased after the children and stopped them.

《Ehh~? I mean, we will be matching~》

『Naa~』

「No, we have it, okay! We have plenty of pelts, so we will be fine even if you don’t look for it」

《Muu~》

『Naa~』

After somehow managing to stop the bear hunting which just barely started, Allen and Elena found a hidden room in the pa.s.sage after resuming the capture.

「「Here~」」

「N? Oh, it certainly looks hidden room-ish」

《Yay~ I wonder if there’s a treasure~》

『Naa~』

It wasn’t a trapdoor room like the before, but the destroy the wall hidden room. Therefore, when we enter after destroying the wall, there was a s.p.a.cious room with a stone altar with an artificial fountain with light brown liquid in the center.

It’s unlike any hidden room we have found before.

「This is the smell of alcohol?」

When I approached the fountain, the smell of alcohol gradually became stronger.

I’m fine, but I would be troubled if it had a bad influence on Allen and Elena, so I isolated the scent of surroundings with the wind.

And when I used【Appraisal]on the fountain, the result was『Brandy Fountain』.

It appears that the light brown liquid is alcohol, a brandy at that.

Of course, there’s no harm on the body――no, it’s an alcohol, so drinking way too much would harm the body…… in this case, the harm is in the toxic meaning.

But, it seems there are no problems in drinking it, so I gave it a try.

「Ah, it’s good」

When I scoop it in my hands and try, it tasted nostalgic.

「Un, it’s a brandy without a doubt. It’s normally delicious」

I drank alcohol if invited by a friend. It was only to such degree, so I’m not that knowledgeable about alcohol, but I’m thinking whether this brandy doesn’t have a considerably good taste.

Speaking of popular alcohol circulating around Aetherdia, it would be an ale. And then, wine and apple cider-like alcohol made from fruit.

I might find it if I looked for it, but I haven’t seen any brandy so far even though I saw products made from the same grapes. I found balsamic vinegar and apple cider-like vinegar though~

As for the alcohol made of grains with the exception of ale――I haven’t seen any whiskey, gin, or vodka.

The white wheat which is used as feed for the livestock――I thought that finding a rice wine would be hopeless, but I might be able to find it somewhere in a dungeon.

Finding a brandy here is a good fortune. Of course, I should draw some of it, right?
