'Cocktail Potion' by Transworld Transfer Bartenders

If not, make it.

"Something to surprise you, hey"

Leaving the drone colony and returning to Sui's, I'll take one.

Gongora gave me a little time.

Because I needed to go to Sui's shop and market once to prepare the ingredients.

Sitting next to the counter, Sui called out a little worried.

"Are you okay? I can't believe it."

"I don't know."

That's what I answered, keeping my head upset.

Yeah, I don't know.

I've only just learned that there's something in this world that's common with my world.

It is also uncertain how food culture and beverage differentiation are progressing in this world, and in particular to what extent beverage types are progressing.

What's more, chemicals and food processing techniques. There must be some part of it that's magically progressing somewhat, but how about something that looks like an industrial product?

Well, then I just have a few thoughts.

I wonder if there isn't an 'array' in this world.

I decided to try to dispel that suspicion.

"Sui, let me ask you one more question"

"What?"

"Is' carbonated water 'popular in this world?

carbonated water. Also called soda water or simply soda.

Its structure is very simple. There's just gas carbon dioxide dissolving in the water.

However, as you know in Japan, a huge amount of carbonated beverages are distributed.

They can be played in the mouth with the shwashwa. They create refreshment by dancing on the tongue and excitedly passing through the throat.

As a beverage, the presence or absence of carbonation is also significant in drinking differentiation.

Sui had indicated the answer before he put it into words.

"... sorry, I've heard of it"

From the bewildering look of Sui, the culture of beverages in this world can also be inferred somewhat.

I guess this world, which has built a magical civilization, is still lagging behind in its industrial part.

With a large number of humans able to use magic, there is no progress in that part.

Thanks to magic, there is no inconvenience, so the quest for convenience is not being pursued.

If it is not necessary to pursue convenience, it is also thin to develop the technology.

On the other hand, they keep making progress on that part. I only make 'The Robot' in my hobby.

And the will of the two is never exchanged.

So the development of the kind of technology that uses science is very slow.

No one must be thinking about the industrial production of carbonated water.

"Okay. Then there's one good thing."

I was grinning badly at Sui for doing so.

"... eh? I don't think I can get what you want."

"I'm fine. Rather, it's not popular, so it can surprise you"

I snort, but Sui still seems anxious.

"But if you can't get it, surprise me or anything"

"Sui, the world has these words"

I waved right in front of her and said.

"If not, you can make it"

Sui staring at me properly.

But I grabbed her shoulder and said it strongly.

"And maybe we need the power of a swim to make it"

"Huh?"

"... sui. You, you can use magic, right? You can extract ingredients, right?

Sui's shoulder got a little harder on my words.

"Yeah, yeah. I can, but that's what it is."

"Then I need your help. To surprise that old man."

I think of one cocktail in my head.

The first cocktail to be drunk in a carbonate-free world.

That's the only way.

"Hey, I left it cool."

When I got back ready, Gongora waited with her eyes shining in anticipation.

The place is in the factory as much as just now. It is a special counter attached to the corner.

It's an ancestral counter, a cold table and a waste chair, made in a factory painting, but it's more my battlefield than having guests there, no matter where the place is.

Originally, I have no desire to lose my hands.

Iberis, sitting next to Gongola, looks anxious to see what happens to the whereabouts of this order.

"Thank you. I'd like to see Cold Table perform anyway."

After I thanked him, I didn't hesitate to open the cold table.

Right hand side of the cold table. In the fridge, a few glasses of water as you wish. And the freezer on the left hand side had about half a consistent amount of ice in it.

"How's the end? I wouldn't be surprised if it was cold or ice water, would I?

"It's obvious. It's a cocktail for you."

I smiled sparingly and put my tools on the cold table.

What I brought was an 'ice pick' for 'major cups', 'bar spoons' and 'shakers'. I asked Iberis to prepare cooking tools such as knives and slabs.

At the same time, unload the ingredients for the 'cocktail' you are going to make.

It is not gin ─ ─ but 'gini potion' and 'lemon', and 'sugar' and 'secret powder'.

I know it's about water in the baking stone, but I put everything to cool in the freezer and exhaled. I don't like being seen getting ready, but I can't help it.

Please wait a moment.

Speaking up, I decided to start by breaking the ice.

I broke the ice, and I just prepared a glass, and I turned to the three of them looking at this one sparkling.

Or why would Sui or Iberis, who should have looked anxious, look at me with pleasure at some point?

"Hey total. Um, what's with the round ice?

"Huh? Ah, ahh."

When I was told, I remembered what I was trying so hard to crack.

I didn't have to make it, but I was happy to save it in the freezer.

"Round Ice".

"This is the guy I use when drinking whiskey or brandy or something rock, well forget it now"

I rushed into the freezer with a shithole and a case of it for ice.

At the same time, when making round ice, gather the crushed ice - crash ice cream - and put it in a different case.
