“Ugh.”
A sad groan escaped from the mouth of Locus, whose eyes were fixed on the villagers, who were enjoying the beer and pizza.
His eyes looked hungry and his legs trembled slightly as if he was suffering from withdrawal symptoms.
In the end, he couldn’t take it anymore and came rushing toward me.
“SIHYEON! Can I have a beer? I’m not lying, I’ll just have one drink. Huh?”
I replied with a smile.
“Just hang in there, Locus, if you start drinking now, you won’t end with one.”
“Ugh! This is torture. How can you expect someone to control themselves while putting delicious-looking food and alcohol in front of them? I can’t… I can’t take this.”
“Look, Kroc looks just fine.”
“That guy is holding it in a lot, too, look at that. Whenever he goes near beer, look how much his tail wiggles.”
“Huh? That’s true.”
Kroc’s big tail wiggles when the beer passes nearby.
In addition, he automatically smacked his lips whenever beer came into his eyes.
The reaction was so immediate that I thought it was so blatant, and it seemed a little pitiful.
“Anyway, hang in there a little longer. I’m not drinking either.”
“What! You had a drink with the merchants earlier…”
“Hahaha, don’t force yourself and go do your job. I have prepared separately for each of you guys.”
I tied the grumbling Locus well and sent him back.
“UNCLE!”
When I turned around to the sound of someone calling, I felt someone hugging my legs.
When I looked down, there I saw a cute cat girl smiling.
“You’re late.”
“Hehe.”
I patted her head softly, and Miru rumbled in a pleasant way.
“I was wondering where you were running so fast. There you are.”
“Hello, my lord.”
Raccoon grandpa and Adela came up to me together.
After overcoming the incurable disease, Adela was looking very healthy, except she still looked a little thin.
“You two came together. Have you tried pizza?”
“Yes. Thanks to my lord, I enjoyed the meal.”
“Hmm. It didn’t taste bad.”
“I enjoyed it, too. Uncle.”
As Miru kept calling me Uncle, Adela said to Miru with a little stern expression.
“Miru, you should call him ‘my lord’ now.”
“No…, I want to call Uncle…”
I tapped on the sullen shoulder of Miru and said.
“It’s all right. Miru has been calling me Uncle since a long time ago, and now I’m more comfortable and used to being called Uncle.”
“It would be uncomfortable for others to see…”
“It doesn’t matter, because I’m fine with it. After all, before receiving the title ‘Lord’ I received the title ‘Candy Uncle’ from Miru.”
I reassured the cautious Adela, saying it was no big deal.
Miru smiled in my arms as if she was happy that I took her side.
While talking to Adela for a while, Raccoon grandpa, who was looking around from the side, coughed and sneaked in.
“Hmm! How did the merchants react to the honey beer?”
“Reaction? Of course, it’s the best. They’ve already fallen in love with the taste and refilled their glass over and over again.”
I explained in detail the reactions shown by merchants after drinking honey beer.
“Really? It’s a honey beer I made, so it’s natural.”
Raccoon grandpa said calmly as if he wasn’t interested, but he seemed very happy as his thick raccoon tail wobbled loudly.
After confirming that he was feeling better, I asked a question.
“Grandpa, merchants were interested in the honey beer business. Can we increase production enough to do business in our brewery?”
“I figured out the right manufacturing method for the brewery. We’ll be able to create a lot more now.”
Raccoon grandpa answered with a confident look.
At the same time, he roughly explained how much production he would increase in the future.
“Oh. Can you make that much?”
“Sure! If you can add more workers to the brewery, that’s not a big deal.”
“That’s really good news. Thanks to what you just told me, I think I can talk to the merchants in more detail.”
“Just trust me, I’ll make you as much beer as you want.”
I was a little relieved by the much more production capability of the beer than I expected.
It was important to sell a lot to merchants, but most of all, it was most important to satisfy the beer monster on the farm.
After a brief chat with Miru, Adela, and Raccoon grandpa, I went to greet the other villagers.
The villagers, whose faces were flushed with beer, kept thanking me repeatedly.
I had to be held for a long time because I accepted all the greetings.
Still, the appearance of the villagers having a great time with pizza and a glass of beer made me very proud.
By the time the sun in the sky began to sink, the festive atmosphere faded little by little.
The villagers began to clean up the messy surroundings, and the chefs who constantly baked pizza in front of the oven finally took a break.
I approached the chefs who were taking a break and thanked them.
“You guys did a great job today. The pizza was really good.”
“No, my lord.”
“I’m so glad that you liked the pizza we made. It was worth practicing hard from a few days ago.”
“Please call me next time if this happens again.”
Three merchants approached me after I finished talking to the chefs.
All three thanked me for the delicious food and beer.
“I’m glad it was delicious. I was a little worried that you might not like it.”
Ergin, who listened to my words, burst into laughter.
“Haha! There are probably few people in this world who don’t like pizza and honey beer. I can guarantee it under my name.”
“He’s right. I like drinking, but the honey beer I drank today was a whole new world.”
Algott expressed his excitement to the point where his mustache trembled.
“I also really enjoyed the dish. I think Murain would really love the honey beer.”
Lastly, Surin also expressed her feelings with a gentle smile.
And at the end, she came up with something and quickly continued.
“Come to think of it, I almost didn’t tell you something important. We’re planning on opening a branch of our Blue Crystal Chamber on the Cardis estate.”
“What!?”
“Huh!”
I was sure she said it to me, but the reaction came from the side of Ergin and Algott first.
As if she had anticipated their reaction, Surin’s smile grew even wider.
“Of course, getting the Lord’s permission is the top priority, but the plan is not yet complete. I hope to see you again soon when the plan to establish a branch is completed.”
Hearing Surin’s story of establishing the branch, the two merchants distorted their expressions and their emotions got revealed on their faces.
They looked flustered and very anxious at the same time.
“What do you think, my lord?”
The attention of the three merchants was focused on my answer.
I would have been very confused if I had been asked this question all of a sudden, but I had a conversation with Andras and Locus about this in advance.
Thanks to this, I was not too nervous and gave a proper answer.
“If a large trading company like Blue Crystal Chamber establishes a branch in the territory, of course, it will be welcomed. Especially since Cardis estate needs a lot of help from the business community.”
– Flinch!
– Flinch!
Ergin and Algott, who were next to Surin, trembled slightly.
“That’s a relief. Cardis estate had very little interaction with our company, so I was very worried that you might refuse.”
“Ha ha! I have no power to reject the proposal of such an influential place as the Blue Crystal Chamber.”
“What are you talking about? The Lord has enough power to do that.”
In a friendly atmosphere, Surin briefly explained her plan.
“Before the branch is established, I’m thinking of signing certain deals with Cardis estate first. While the lord was away, I talked to Chief Lagos. I think I’ll be able to prepare a good deal soon.”
And she added one more word with her eyes sparkling.
“If you don’t mind, is it okay to start the talks on trading honey beer?”
“……!”
“……!”
There was a subtle tension among the merchants as she showed her greed for the honey beer business.
I didn’t bother to get into their war of nerves and kept a relaxed attitude.
“I don’t have any specific plans for honey beer sales yet. But the person in charge of the brewery said he could increase production quickly. I think Cardis honey beer might soon be for sale.”
I only hinted at it, but it seemed like that alone was enough.
Now, rumors of honey beer will be circulating through merchants who visited the village today.
I moved to the farm building, holding Grify and Finny on both sides.
The baby griffins rested quietly in my arms.
When we arrived near the farm building, Andras hurried out of the entrance.
“SIHYEON, you’re here?”
“Yeah, I’m on my way back after taking Grify and Finny for a walk. Were you searching for me?”
“Yes. The Barbatos family just contacted Sihyeon.”
“Suddenly, WHY?”
– Biip?
– Biip?
Grify and Finny followed my tone and cried together.
“Ugh.”
A sad groan escaped from the mouth of Locus, whose eyes were fixed on the villagers, who were enjoying the beer and pizza.
His eyes looked hungry and his legs trembled slightly as if he was suffering from withdrawal symptoms.
In the end, he couldn’t take it anymore and came rushing toward me.
