Chapter 69
Upon leaving the flour mill factory, because it was time for lunch soon, we decided to look for a ramen shop.
Noww then, lets look for a ramen shop.~
When were looking for a ramen shop, Elena raised her head and stared at something.
Seiji-sama, whats that portrait of a man with big beard?
Apprently, Elena seemed to be worried about the billboard advertisement.When I saw the billboard, I think it somewhat resembled the Delaidos king.
Thats a billboard of whiskey.
Whats whiskey?
Its a liquormade from wheat.
Is that so? That man is holding a wheat in hand.
Then, lets also buy whiskey.
An-chan, are you going to have Elena drink whiskey?
I-, Im not allowed to drink liquor?
No, thats not it, remember the dwarf in the weapon shop?Its a souvenir to that person.
I see, that person really loves liquor.
Err speaking of souvenir the children at Arias place can I buy something for them?
Thats right! Theres so much wheat flour too, maybe we can make something delicious with it?
Yes, it sounds good!Those children will surely be glad.
Well then, after eating ramen and a little shopping, lets go to the other world to hand over the souvenirs.
Yes.Ye~s.
Its been decided to go shopping.
First, I bought a whiskey which won a gold medal at a famous contest.Also, its 5,000 yen for only 180 ml, its so expensiveee!
I also bought fresh milk and Hokkaido eggsto be used in the wheat flour dish afterwards.I wonder if this is fine as a souvenir?
We finally found a delicious ramen shop and sat at the counter, the 3 of us ordered a different ramen each.
Mine is a chashumen.
Ayas is a hotate ramen.
Elenas is a miso butter corn ramen.
Hotate yum-yum.~Ill give this one scallop to Elena-chan.
Aya-san, thank you.
*Grr* this impertinent Aya.
Then, Ill give this 2 slices of roasted pork.
Seiji-sama, thank you!
Sparks flew between Me and Aya when we glared at each other. Elena ate the miso butter corn with scallops and roasted pork ramen with great relish.Come to think of it, Elena is eating normally using chopsticks, she already became good on how to use the chopsticks.
Well then, lets go to theSuga townfirst.
Yes.Ye~s.
We teleported toSuga townfrom the back alley in Sapporo.
From there, I went around to each guilds of various towns.

Also, our Aurum increased to a total of 18, 350 A.Itll be fine even if I dont earn money for a while.If I can exchange this to Japanese Yen, I could live luxuriously in Japan.~
As such, we went to see the dwarf occhan of the weapons and armors shop for the first souvenir.
Hello~
Oh, the lad from the last time, whats your name again?
Hahaha! We havent introduced ourselves to each other, Im Seiji.
As for me, my name isGamudo.Its nice to meet you again.
Gamudo-san and I shook hands firmly.
By the way, whats your business for coming today?Weapon?Or Armor?
Before that, Ive brought a souvenir today.
Souvenir, you mean
I put theWhiskeyon the table with a broad smile.
Its not Ale, is it?But, a liquor?
Yes, its a liquorthat became #1 in a liquorcompetition of my hometown.
What is it!!?
Gamudo-san leaned forward suddenly.
Well, how about a straight first.
I took out a glass from the inventory and poured a little bit of whiskey.At the same time, a gentle fragrance of sweet malt spread around.
W-, What is this fragrance!This is a fragrance of liquor!?
Well then, take a sip.
U-, Umu.
When Gamudo-san fearfully brought the glass close to his mouth, a strong fragrance went through his nose.Gamudo-san flinched for a moment, but made up his mind and poured it into his mouth.
With a *thud*, the instant it entered his mouth, a refreshing rich flavor spread from his mouth throughout his body.
Gamudo-san had been immersed in the lingering aftertaste in silence, suddenly, a tear drop ran down from his eye.
Ojii-sama!What happened to you!?
Its a lieSuch a delicious liquor, its impossible to be from this world
Was it so delicious?
Oh, oh, its not in the delicious level anymore
Its good that youre happy, its worth that I brought it with me.
Shit, if you brought such a delicious liquor, what am I suppose to do!Ive got no money to buy this delicious liquor.
We didnt come here to sell liquortoday, weve come to buy armor.Besides, I brought this for you as a souvenir.
Is that so, armor!Sure thing!Ill make the best armors for you guys!
Gamudo-san became excited and measured our size for the armors, since he said that it would take a week to complete the armors, we left Gamudo-sans shop.
Translator notes and reference:
1Okay, the whiskey theyre referring to is. Thank you Tokanya and not_onizoka-gto.
2Not sure but apparently, major egg farms throughout Hokkaido primarily raise two breeds of laying chickens: Julia (white-shelled eggs) and Boris Brown (reddish brown-shelled eggs).
3Fatty slices of roasted or braised pork. Chashu is a very common topping, and standard bowls of ramen usually come with one or two slices of it. Most ramen-ya also serve Chashumen (chashu ramen) which is a ramen dish with additional pieces of chashu. Kakuni (braised pork belly) is served instead of chashu at some restaurants.

6Apparently, drinking alcohol straight means without ice. Thanks, Fleabiter.
