Huge Animals Dungeon 5

""That way~""

Monsters occasionally appeared on the white cobblestone pa.s.sage of the hidden route. We have advanced for a while now, but there have not been any changes from the fifth floor so far.

Just when we were founding this path a bit disappointing… a place that was slightly different from until now appeared.

"Oh? This place has a somewhat different ambiance from the locations up until now."

"Indeed. It looks quite like a garden."

It was a hall a stone pavement, but there was vegetation growing everywhere, moreover, there was a water fountain in the center.

"Onii~chan."

"There, herbs~!"

Allen and Elena who ran around the hall have apparently found an herb among the vegetation.

"Al-sama~"

"Can we pick~?"

"Yeah, I don't mind."

""Yaa~y!""

Allen and Elena properly got permission from Al-sama and began picking the herbs.

Since they have properly asked for permission, they must correctly understand that Al-sama is the big boss here.

"You two can tell apart medicinal plants?"

""Yea!""

"This you see~ is Cantella."

"That one, you know~ is Bletilla."

When Kevin-sama approached Allen and Elena who were picking the herbs, the two began merrily explaining about the herbs.

Kevin-sama and the twins had warmed up to each other to a degree it would be hard to believe that Allen and Elena were vigilant at first.

That is a very good thing, but this room…——

"… N~?"

"What's wrong, Tak.u.mi?"

"Al-sama, don't you smell alcohol in here?"

"N? —— Yeah, you are right. It's faint, but I do smell it."

"I thought so. Is it that fountain then?"

This fountain is suspicious. Because we have found a brandy well in a dungeon before, it's possible that alcohol comes out of this fountain instead of water. Well, the liquid is clear this time, so it's correct to say that it's not a brandy this time.

When I Appraised it, I found a surprising truth.

"Nippy Liquor" appeared when I appraised it, but the ingredient was White Wheat. So that means——

"As I thought, this water… it's Nihonshu (j.a.panese rice wine), isn't it?"

When I scooped it out with my hands and tasted it, the taste was nostalgic.

Still, "Nippy Liquor" … cold sake? It certainly is cold, but… hot sake——does it mean that it can't be drunk warm?

"Nihonshu? It's my first time hearing about such alcohol."

"Ah~ Nihonshu is how it is called in my birthplace. Its actual name is Nippy Liquor."

"Hou, I had never heard of such liquor before."

It's a liquor made with White Wheat that is used as fodder, so it's only natural that he did not hear of it before. Besides, he would absolutely not understand the term Nihonshu, to begin with.

Well, putting that aside, I have to secure this Nippy Liquor!

"Al-sama, do you mind if I fetch some?"

"Yeah, I don't mind, but are you planning a drinking bout, Tak.u.mi?"

"I did not have a drink in a long while, after all. However, this can also be used in cooking."

"Cooking, huh. I see now~ Let me see, I will give it a taste."

When I began filling several casks I retrieved from my Infinite Storage, Al-sama got more curious about the Nippy Liquor and scooped a little in his hands to try.

""Your Highness, wait a moment please!!""

However, before Al-sama could taste the Nippy Liquor, the voices of Najack-sama and Claudio-sama resounded around.

"What? We are in a dungeon, so there shouldn't be a problem with a mouthful, no?"

"There's a problem before that!"

"Please let us taste unidentifiable things first!"

Al-sama claimed that there's no problem in trying alcohol that comes out of a dungeon, but the two knights had apparently stopped him for a different reason.

"Even though there's no way there would be poison in something like that…"

Al-sama sighed deeply.

Having each and every action you take being watched… being a prince must be hard.

Moreover, the two spoke about poison tasting it for Al-sama, but both of them refuse to drink alcohol on duty.
