I'm having a break today since I've been working without one for half a month .
I indulge myself in inactivity on the self-made deck under the tree's shade in the courtyard .
Still, I begin to crave for carbonated drink when it's this hot . There should be some carbonated water remaining if I'm not mistaken . I start preparing the beverages after asking Lulu to fry some potato chips . I add grape juice to the carbonated water, making it look like sparkling wine . I also add more sugar since I feel it's not sweet enough .
With Liza's help, I brought the potato chips and the carbonated grape juice to the place where everyone is playing learning cards .
"Bubbly bubble~?" "Even though it's sweet and delicious, the bubbly bubble is bursting nodesu!" "Kuh~ It's been awhile since I've had carbonated water~ If possible I'd have liked to drink Professor Pepper~"
The three who are simply delighted, and the children who are hardened . There was also a child who dropped the goblet, but Tama skillfully caught it .
"Hau, it's tizzling" "?!"
"Hiccup . "
There's also a child who can't stop hiccuping, it's quite a success .
"This is the specialty product of the grapevine mountain range right?" "You know well . I've got it from an acquaintance . I thought of enjoying it with everyone since it was unusual . "
Ms . Miteruna knew about the carbonated water since she was treated to it once when she was little by the previous Viscount Shimen . According to her, carbonated water is extremely expensive in the labyrinth city . It's not produced around this area, on top of that since it has to be carried in airtight containers to prevent the carbonated acid from coming off, there are a lot of cases where the containers explode during the transportation, so it rarely arrives here . Looks like it worths one gold coin for one cup . The children hardened when they heard that story, but Arisa persuaded them, "If you don't drink it and let time pass, it will become a normal water, so go on and drink it . "
The potato chips seem to go too well with the sweet carbonated water, the chip plate is emptied in the blink of an eye . Lulu told the children who're licking the potato chips powder on their fingers, "Let's make some more okay . "
Later on, I came to understand that it was easy to extract the carbonated water with alchemy . It was fast since I remembered that some liquor like ale contained a minute amount of carbonated water . Of course the local alchemists knew about, but it seemed no one did it since there was no meaning in extracting the carbonated water from it .
It looks like it could become a new specialty product if I just can cheaply extract the carbonated water . I dream of such a future while staring at the bursting bubbles in the glass .
It was one week later that I knew there's a place where carbonated water gushed out in the middle layer of the labyrinth .
