On the rounds of the big feast, I look around the areas where drinking is allowed and play with the little ones in the areas where drinking is not allowed. It's almost time for the kids to go to bed, but ...... the spirits don't need to be forced to sleep. Should we let Sarah and the kids go to bed first?

"Juerubokusu ya!" "Kyu-kyu!" "Ya, ya!" "Kukoo!" "Juerubokusu da!" ......"

...... Belle takes a bite of her crepe and makes a fuss, imitating me. Is it possible to spread the skills of a gourmet reporter to the spirits of other worlds? It's a fantasy world, and if they start emitting rays of light from their eyes or mouths, we're in trouble. After playing with Bell and the others, we move to the table where Sara and the others are sitting.

"Sara, Marco, Kikka, you didn't eat your desserts, what's wrong?"

The only thing on the table for the three of them was their drinks.

"Master, we have had enough of the food and desserts."

I'm full.

"Kikka, I ate a lot."

I must have finished eating. I've been thinking about it for quite some time since the banquet started. You must be full. Then I wonder about the little kids who are still crowding around the dessert corner...but I guess there is something about them that I don't understand.

"Well, it's okay if you've eaten well. It's a banquet today, so it's okay if you stay up a little later, but take it easy and rest when you feel sleepy.

"But with a party this big, we have to clean up ......."

Sarah and the others are willing to help clean up. I'm glad to hear that, but I'm still not very good at making decisions. We still have ale coming in from the brewery. We'll be drinking till morning for sure, so the party won't be over while Sara and the others are awake.

"Sara, I appreciate the sentiment, but I can't keep you up all night. I'm going to leave in the middle of the party, so you can wake up tomorrow and help me clean up."

"You mean it's going to last until morning?"

Sarah looks surprised. The banquet at home is over when we finish drinking because we limit the number of barrels, but this time it won't be over because the brewery has to be restocked.

I'm worried that the spirits in the brewery will drink up all the sake we're giving to the other spirits, but I've run a brewery before, so I should know how to distribute it. And since we can brew in paradise on a large scale that other sanctuaries can't, we can afford it.

"Maybe. If the feast is still going on when I wake up, I'm going to finish it."

Sara, Marco and Kikka start discussing my words. Marco says he can have pudding a little longer, and Kikka wants Ruby to bake crepes.

She says she's full, but I guess she was just taking a break. I'm glad he's growing up aggressively ......, but I'm honestly glad to see that he's not getting fat anytime soon, but he's getting well fleshed out.

At least he has a better diet than the average family, if not better than the slums he is forced to live in. As for the other aspects, I'm still forgetting to buy ...... clothes, so let's hope that I'm just barely reaching the acceptable level.

I understand. I'll enjoy the atmosphere a little more with Marco and Kikka and then I'll take a break."

While he was feeling the growth of his apprentice, he had made plans for him. I'm not in the mood to stay up too late, and I think I'll be fine.

"Okay. I'll talk to Emme and the others and then move on to the drinks. Good night."

After saying goodnight to Sara and the other guests, Emme and her friends are eating at the table. They are eating their meals now, since they have been helping me with the serving of food and other things.

Emme, Saffy, Citrine, Onyx, thank you for helping us prepare for the banquet. You're not drinking if you're here, are you?"

"Oh, Yuta's brother. It's only natural for me to help out with the banquet since I live in the village. We'll all have a toast after Ruby settles down!"

Emme told me why she is not drinking well. The five of us have been working together for a long time, and the five of us have a strong sense of unity.

My Japanese friends would have started drinking before me for sure. I'm sure my Japanese friends would have started drinking first and then come to the place where we were working to show off their drinking. I am wondering if the spirits are great or if my Japanese friends are of poor quality.

"What about the other stores, but what about the inn?"

"No one is coming back to the inn today, so you can just come back once in a while to see what's going on.

Safi says confidently. I'm not sure if that's a good idea, but maybe Saffy is right. The belles are getting pretty excited to see so many people gathered here, and they're pretty excited, too.

"Okay. I know Emme and the others, including Ruby, are late for drinking because of helping out. In return, we'll give you three more kegs of your favorite drink, so let us know when you decide what you want to drink.

I've released quite a few barrels of sake, so I'm sure there are still some left, but I don't mind this kind of favoritism.

"Thank you. "Thank you. I'll go scout around and see what's left.

Onyx flew out to see how much liquor was left. I think you should drink whatever you want. Citrine, the only one not speaking, nodded her head ...... and giggled. She is a mute by nature, but eating seems to be her priority right now.

"Well, I'm having a drink over there, so come back and tell me when you've decided.

I leave Emme and the others and move to the table where Sylphy is having a drink. Before I know it, Dine and If have joined us for drinks. They are drinking hard, and I'm afraid that I'm going to be sunk in a hurry. I'm worried about Gina and Mel, too, and try to adjust my drinking pace with a strong will.

I'll be strong-willed and adjust the pace of my drinking.

Yes, it's time to end the party. Everyone, please bring the empty barrels near here.

When I woke up in the morning and went outside, spirits were still drinking, including Sylphy and the others, as expected. The little ones, attracted by the spirits, are playing around in the paradise. Ruby and her friends have already left because they have a store ...... to go to.

I know it's a little late for this, but don't genies ever get tired? No, she was tired when Sylphy followed Belle and the others on their errands. She seems to feel mental fatigue.

"Yuta, can we use the sake barrels in the brewery?"

"Oh, I see. If you're going to refill the kegs, it's not convenient for me to store them. Then you can keep the barrels at Nomos.

"Mm. Leave it to me to take care of the excess liquor.

"Okay. ...... eh?"

Nomos said what was convenient for him and left. Oh, well. I guess there's only ale in abundance, and maybe a little of everything else.

"I'll take the tables and chairs, Sarah, Marco, Kikka, Mel, gather the used dishes at this table. Let's get this over with and have breakfast."

Sarah and the others scatter at my command. The spirits who were having a feast stop their feast and start to help clean up, so it won't be long now.

I'll let Gina sleep until ...... noon or so. She's been drunk to the bone at Mel's pace, so it'd be a pity to wake her up. Mel, who helped me to carry Gina, seemed to be fine, so I guess Dwarves, even women, are strong drinkers.

"Good morning, Yuta!"

The belles, who had been playing, came charging toward us, probably noticing that we had started to clean up.

"Good morning, everyone. Did you have a good time at the party?

I asked them about it, and they told me with big smiles on their faces about all the fun they had while I was sleeping. I can tell from their excitement that they had a good time, but I can't really understand what they are saying because they are all telling me at the same time.

I want to have a skill like Prince Shotoku's. ...... But I still don't understand the language of Rain, Tamamo, and Moon, so I need a skill of a doctor who understands the language of animals. The other world is very deep.

"Oh, help me!"

After petting and calming the excited Belle and her friends, Belle and her friends offered to help. This time, I stroke them around to thank them.

"Thank you. Sarah and the others are gathering the used dishes, so please join them.

The belles cheerfully replied, "Yes, sir," and scattered about. This is going to be a quick cleanup. I'll put the tables and chairs away as soon as I can.

"Finally, here is the tree that will become the symbol of this paradise, along with the jewel floating in the fountain.

"So it really is a spirit tree. ......"

Mel looks up at the tree and is stunned. After cleaning up and having breakfast, I show Mel and Meral around the paradise. The first shot of the tour is a ball made by the spirit kings, which is the key element of the sanctuary floating in the spring, and the last shot is the spirit tree. It's a pretty good guiding plan, even if it's self-praise.

The ball floating in the center of the fountain was conspicuous and Mel was looking at it from a distance, but when I explained to him that the ball was made by the spirit kings by gathering their power with a smug look on my face, he was surprised with his mouth open. Except for the subtle look on his face when he saw the rock pedestal that supports the staff of attributes, he was perfectly grasping the idea.

After that, Sara and I proudly explained the fields, fish in the canals, orchards, camellia forest, wild forest, Mohamofu Kingdom, aviary, coffee forest, lawn park, rose garden, miso warehouse, soy sauce warehouse, and rice paddies.

...... I was the only one who proudly explained them. Sarah and Belle were just trying so hard to explain to Mel and Meral that it made them smile.

Sara and the others were a bit boastful in the Rose Garden, but not because they were smug, but because they genuinely wanted to be praised for their hard work.

I think I ...... came off as a jerk who was proudly showing off his expensive stuff. I should reflect on that, but every time I explained, Mel and Meral would say, "An orchard in the land of the dead! Animals! I am so proud of them.

After looking at the spirit tree and explaining about the base, we move to the village of spirits. The explanation was over soon since there were not many facilities yet, but it was not a bad tour since I could play with the little ones flying around and give them the souvenirs, goods, painting tools, and beds that I had bought.

"I looked around the paradise and found out.... The master is going to bring nature back to life in the land of the dead. ...... is amazing. I am proud to be your apprentice."

Mel, who had been staring up at the spirit tree in a daze, looks me in the eye with clear eyes and says, "I'm sorry, but I can't help it. Her tone of voice is not the surprised and cheerful tone she has been using so far, but rather a stern tone. But I don't have such a grand plan, so I don't want him to take it so seriously.

I'm just trying to be moderate. I want to be respected by my students, but it's enough if they think that I'm a great master. A little less respect, just the right amount. .......

"Well, let's see......, it's not easy to revive the land of the dead. All I can do is to give the land of the dead a chance to ...... well, to give nature a chance to come back to life. It's not a big deal.

"Yes, of course. It's not easy. But I think it's great that we can make a start!

Hey ......I thought I said I could only do small things, but it seems like Mel has given me more respect ......Is that the wrong choice of words? Sylphy, help me.
