'Cocktail Potion' by Transworld Transfer Bartenders

It wasn't that long before the venue was swallowed.

Soon people are starting to blur and raise their doubts in their mouths.

But I don't even take that one at a time.

"What's that?

In summary, that was all.

"Excuse me. I'd like you to carry it"

"... Huh? Oh, excuse me!

When I spoke, the knight of the clerk, who was as grumpy as the audience, moved quickly.

When he puts three glasses on the basin, he offers them to the judges.

Three of the judges glanced at me after a glimpse.

"... what the hell is this?

An old judge asks me.

Well, I can explain it politely, but now I'm spared that time. Cocktails can only be drunk quickly.

"It's a 'cocktail' called [Blue Moon]. I'd like you to have a drink first."

When I spoke that way, the old man and about thirty men butted in just a little bit.

It's a light purple liquid that we have no idea about. I can't help it.

But there was only one person who wasn't afraid of it.

"Okay, let's have it"

Heliconia, the owner of "Aurantiaca," sparkled her eyes as she challenged her, stretching her hand to the glass.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

What is that light purple liquid?

Heliconia doesn't know, except that this is probably a potion.

(No, can I fulfill it and call it potion)

Together, it even made me think about putting it in the category of potion.

I guess it's definitely a potion.

But a young man with a confident face in front of him said something.

"Cocktails"

Isn't that exactly what this inexperienced drink should describe?

"Okay, let's have it"

While the other judges were still butting in, Heliconia reached for the glass the most.

That's boring curiosity.

I want to understand through my tongue what is in front of me.

The desire could not be stopped from overflowing from within the body.

(The color is light purple, the scent is - is it smeared?

If you hold it right in front of me, it will smell even if it responds.

A sweet fragrance that feels demonic, a little less than the word glossy.

If I had been a woman, I might have been captivated by it alone, yes Heliconia felt.

And include that liquid in your mouth.

I felt the cold, thick and sweet taste first.

It must look and smell different, and its flavor captures the tongue and doesn't let go.

But it's never sweet. Where this is likely to happen, the sourness of the lemon neutralizes the spiciness of 'Gini' like a refreshing breeze.

Graspless sweetness, like the light of the moon, waves in the wind, gently reflected on the surface of the water.

Such a fantastic landscape emerged, it was flavorful.

Yes, this liquid is pushing the flavor of "Gini" out of the potion as far as possible.

(What a challenge. Go the exact opposite of the stone, emphasis on flavor)

What is scary is its harmony.

The sweetness of the Smiley potion is reduced to lemon and gini.

But the playful acidity of lemons is similarly wrapped in smears and gini,

Gini's loose spiciness smoothes out the smears and lemons.

The three flavors came together and transformed into a single finished system.

If it crosses your throat too, it will fit quietly.

The flavors that were dancing under the illuminating moon quietly disappear.

But I can't hide the aftertaste.

The intense smiley flavor and the stimulus of the lemon that cut it vividly left a shadow in his mouth loosely.

A flavour that gives you a sense of a blue, white and serene moon, indicated by the name [Blue Moon].

Sweet, luscious, heavy. Then it tastes gorgeous, bright, fluffy and dancing through your mouth.

The power that goes into this cup goes far beyond the realm of just a bad potion.

The best cup, made of the lowest ingredients.

It's a powerful cup that opens up a new world.

"... delicious"

Heliconia and the feeling was leaking out of my mouth without shaking.

(... but what about the others)

Heliconia turned her attention to the other judges who had finally begun to reach for the glass.

Typically, potions are treasured the easier they are to drink.

Simply because there is a lack of magic or can't afford to care about flavor during battle.

But before that, the easier it is, the better it is for 10,000 people.

The individuality of taste sometimes shapes people's emotions and also makes them hesitant to use it.

That was common sense in potions.

There is no harm in 'tasteless' in the potion world. But there is a possibility that 'flavorful' will result in losses.

Adding flavor means accepting the loss, while seeing potion as a 'drink' rather than a 'medicine'.

That means for humans who only thought of 'potion' as' medicine, '

This wonderful cup was synonymous with being 'out of range'.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

In front of my eyes, each of the three judges drank a cup.

But the look was more cloudy than I thought.

…………

All three are keeping their mouths shut.

It's hard to see how that puzzle should be perceived.

"... this is unacceptable"

Shortly afterwards, the youngest, middle-aged man of the three said.

"This is certainly a drink. It would also work as a potion. But you can't admit this at a review meeting. This is not the way we should be going."

The man made it clear.

within the assumption, but there is still no way I regret being told.

But the word to deny it came out of the old man next door.

"Say what. This cup paves the way. It's something that breathes a new breeze into our cohesive concepts. Wasn't the spirit of the review meeting originally a search for revolution?

"But! This isn't it! If you're heading in a different direction, that can also be poison!

"A small amount of poison is also a medicine. Again. Unlike the path your Lord seeks, it must be an inspiration to pave a new way."

The old man took the 'cocktail' gently, but positively.

But the middle-aged man seemed unconvinced by it.

"How about Lord Heliconia!? Can you admit that you, who are also the owner of 'Aurantiaca', are such a denial of your potion!?

The said heliconia did not answer the middle-aged man's question, but turned to me and asked.

"Yugiri, what do you want to do with this potion? For what purpose did you compete in this potion?

Asked, I thought.

If you're going to borrow Sui's words, you're going to say, 'I want to make the most of it in a cheaper potion, and reduce the number of people who can't be saved at all'.

But does Heliconia know that?

So didn't he ask me, not Sui?

I wonder for what purpose I'm standing here right now.

"… I have not come to this occasion with a clear vision for the future"

"Ho."

"But if it's how you feel when you make it, you can answer it"

Honestly, I said it.

I still don't see a lifetime goal.

So I changed what I see now, into words.

"You guys are going to be drinking and people who might be interested in drinking ahead. I want to make the best 'cocktails' I can right now for all its customers. That was all."

How will my words be fulfilled?

Perhaps that is far from the philosophy of potion.

Neither effect nor sales. Just potions for 'individuals'.

Because I made it clear that's the 'cocktail'.

"… I would like to share my views with everyone gathered at the venue"

Not answering my words, Heliconia raised its voice.

All the people in the venue are waiting quietly ahead.

"First of all, this' potion 'that appeared on this occasion, but I shall conveniently call this' cocktail 'from now on. And" potions "and" cocktails "belong to very different ideas."

Heliconia affirmed.

"Potion" and "cocktail" are completely different ideas.

"The potions we make are always made for the unspecified. I am always aiming for what I receive from every human being in this world. Except for 'cocktails' though. Something 'best' that suits the individual in front of you... his' cocktail 'seems to be born from such an idea"

I never raise my voice in denial.

That's normal. If people are different, they have different preferences. No bartender makes the exact same cocktail for all.

And that's a notion that probably isn't in the potion.

"And from what I've heard, 'cocktails' are delicate and have a short lifespan. Secure technology and delicate dosage adjustments, this amazing effect born of doing so also disappears in about 'fifteen minutes'. That is even more different from what we are aiming for: potion. Everyone will know that."

Neither does the audience raise a voice of denial.

No matter how effective the 'potion' is, mixing ingredients from scratch can't be used for a real emergency.

If potions are also used as magic enhancers, it is difficult to use them.

"But it also means, in other words, it is possible to coexist with the existing 'potion'"

Heliconia, however, reviews the 'cocktail' by turning the previous argument around.

"Stimulate the potion itself and mix the potion itself together. That is an area where there is no accumulation. If the deceased piece that stuck it in is a" cocktail, "the knowledge and skill will always lead to our" potion. "

I didn't think of it, it reminded me of all the bottles on Earth.

Even if it is not a cocktail, there are countless alcoholic beverages mixed with alcohol. And they will not be driven away by the appearance of cocktails.

Rather, it is common for new cocktails using them to be produced.

The mixing technique and the making technique are different but therefore never quarrel.

"Well, I've spoken all sorts of words, but I'm not going to deny 'cocktails' at all. And I'm going to tell you the biggest reason."

Heliconia laughed niggly there.

It seemed like the first time I had shown myself a vegan by loosening my ever strict expression.

That's what he says, innocent as a boy.

"The earlier cup was delicious"

Heliconia's feelings have then stained my mind as a relief.

"I've had so many potions and booze before, but I've never had that much. Yugiri, in your shop, you do offer 'cocktails' as a hobby, don't you?

Now it's a question I can answer. I said with a sales smile on my face.

"Yes, my shop basically serves a cup of cocktail with two copper coins"

"I see. There are stores in this world where such delicious drinks come out. I can't help but thank God for it. Anything of interest is highly recommended to try it once."

And Heliconia finally summed it up.

"'White Oak' and my 'Aurantiaca' did a great job too. If it's a hundred-point test, I want to put a hundred-point on both. But I want to give this' cocktail 'a hundred and twenty points, in the sense of imagination. That's Heliconia Sansi's unfalse assessment."

Moments, the air in the venue quieted for a moment, and exploded.

I had heard the announcement so far, but there was no product that Heliconia admired so far.

He said he'd give us so much credit.

'Everyone, please be quiet! That concludes the lecture! Quiet, please!

The knight's voice echoes the venue.

I only see the face of a helicopter once. He was smiling calmly.

And the review concluded all the announcements.

The only remaining program is the announcement of the Best Award.
