The city of Filin, the buyer, "Pofu Pofu Mountain".
　They bring in beer dropped by Lantern and wait for its assessment.

　Perhaps because it's the same shop, the interior of the store is similar to Cicuro's "Tsubame's Grace", and the movements of the clerks who deal with the adventurers who come in are also similar.
　In the midst of the puffy mountains, I sat at the counter and waited.
　Incidentally, Terre, the guide, is sitting next to me, and he keeps giving me impressed eyes from earlier.

　That bothered me a bit, so I decided to ask him.

'What's wrong,'
'I'm so surprised. Ryota-san's drop was half a ton.
I'm as surprised as you are. How often does that happen?

　That thing, by that I mean the bottle broke ...... like it exploded.

　I was able to defeat the monster on the first floor of Lantern's basement, the fire footman, normally, but I only got the drop beer the first time.
　After the second time, all of them were too much, and the moment they dropped, they exceeded the capacity of the bottle and exploded without filling it.

That bottle was made in such a way that any adventurer's drop would fit into it. That's why I'm even more surprised.

　That's what Terre says. It's more of a look of respect and admiration than a look of surprise.

　I see ...... usually fits in with a good amount of room.
　So maybe I'm not making much money here.

　Filin's two dungeons, Lantern and Cerium, are all liquor drops.
　Liquor, in other words, is a liquid, and unlike solids, if you don't put it in a container the moment you drop it, it will spill out onto the ground and seep in.

　As the proverb says, "There is no return to the basin," and once the liquor is spilled, it is not for sale.

　I have a good guess as to why it won't fit in the bottle.
　That bottle can accommodate up to drop A adventurers, but my drop S seems to be over capacity.

　The capacity is too high to use mass production.
　The quality of the drops are high and the quantity is high, but there are too many ...... too many, so it's a laughingstock situation.

　Well, I'm going to go back to Cyclo after I complete Eric's request anyway, so there's no problem.

'Sir!'

　After waiting for a while, the female clerk who had gone back to the back to assess my carry-on came back.
　She seemed to be in a hurry.

"This is our customer, Master.

　A man was following behind the female clerk.
　He had a shaggy head and stubble, and his nose was bright red with veins sticking out.
　He was wearing something that looked very similar to a dressing gown in the original world I was in.
　The half-open eyes, combined with the outfit, give off quite an atmosphere.

"Is this what you brought with you?

　The man held up a bottle in his hand.
　The bottle of booze I brought in.

Yeah. What's wrong with it?
Where did you drop this?
The Lantern's basement floor?

　The man scowled tightly as he answered honestly.
　Was there really something wrong with him?　It's such a reaction that I'm starting to worry about it.

'It's the basement floor of the Lantern, it's ...... stupid ...... impossible ......'
What's impossible?
Let's talk inside .......

　The man turned himself around and went back to the back.
　The female clerk released the counter partition so I could get through.
　I don't know what happened, but it's pretty clear that something is up.
　That bothered me, so I followed the guy inside.

　Tale followed in a hurry.

　I walked into the back room and sat down facing the man in what looked like a parlor.

'It's an amazing place,'

　I looked around the room and chuckled.

　It was a drunkard's room.
　There were bottles of liquor lying here and there, and the room smelled like a mess of booze.
　And there was a small plate on the table, with salt on it.

　It's built as a parlor, but it's a completely drunkard's private room.

　I looked at the plate with the salt on it and asked the man.

'Salt?'
'I was drinking spirits not long ago. Spirits are good to drink if you have salt.
You're an expert.

　I've heard of people drinking like that, but this is the first time I've met them.

'I'm Dio Bacchus,'

　The man - Dio said his name, so I changed mine.

"I'm Sato Ryota.
'Hmm?　That Lyota family boss.

　Dio surprised, I nodded.

'Yeah,'
That's true.

　Dio looked at the bottle of liquor I brought in and nodded vigorously.

'What on earth is wrong with you?'
It's delicious.
What?
I had the privilege of tasting this beer, and it is the best beer I have ever had in my life. It has none of the bitterness that is the lifeblood of beer, but you do get a 'bitter' feeling after drinking it. I don't think you know what you're talking about.
Yeah, I don't know.

　I didn't think it tasted bitter, but did you think it was?
　I don't even know what that's all about, and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

'Anyway, I'd say it's the best beer ever. You can only grade booze up to an A, but this one tastes so clearly above and beyond the A grade that anyone who drinks it can tell.
'Awesome!　That's great.

　Dio praises me with a straight face, and Tale's eyes light up even more beside me.

I was tasting the appraisal as usual, and that's what happened, so I ran out in a hurry to see what kind of person brought this to me.

　I see.
　I can see why you would do that.

I want to talk to you about this, and not just about this, but about how we're going to periodically...
Bad.

　I chuckled and declined.

'I'm only here in Filin on a separate request, and when I'm done I'll have to return to my home base, Cyclo. It's going to be hard to deliver on a regular basis.

　I explained the situation and refused once and for all, but Dio didn't back down.

'Then let me sign a yearly contract with you.
Annual contract?

　What difference does it make?　I nodded my head.

'Yeah. Yes, ...... wine is good. The wine drops in several tiers of lanterns, but I'll take fifty ...... or even ten a year for that. Bring it to me, please.
Ten a year?　Why again?
Yeah, I want to sell it as vintage.
...... Oh, I see.

　Is that why you take advantage of the scarcity to do business with it?

　Dio leans forward and gives me a half-open but eager look.
　I thought, if it's ten a year, it's similar to some of the regular requests I'm getting now.
　You can use the mansion's transporter room when you return to the cyclo, and if it's not every day, it's not a burden.

　If that's the case--

I'll give you as much money as you want!

　In the middle of his thoughts, Dio said more.
　'It's like he wants me to do whatever it takes.

'Awesome ......,'

　Dio guessed that, and next to him, Terre was marveling, forgetting the "sss".

...... Okay. Let me think about the number for a moment, but if it's a small batch per year, I'll accept it.
Thank you!

　Dio stood up with a flash and grabbed my hand tightly.

　My hand was a little sore despite being a physical SS, and the pain felt like Dio's enthusiasm.
