At dawn, I left the inn where I was staying, and wandered around the city of Flint.
Itâs a nice and lively city as ever.
[I donât like yer fucking face, so what!]
[This is intense. The ăSake Benkeiă Gois and the ăDrunken Swordsmană Rex is starting a fight!]
Looks like some drunken people are starting a fight, which is also whatâs good about this city, as there are a lot of fun things around here.
By Ericâs request, the breed for sake is over, and I should go back to Shikuro.
Since I can use the Transportation Room to go to Lanthanum, I should bring the rest of my friends for sightseeing here. But before that, I should greet the Flint Dungeon Association farewell.
As I was walking towards the association, I felt a different kind of heat going on.
Unlike the heat of drunk people fighting, itâs like half not being drunk, and half curious, that was the atmosphere.
As I got closer to the building, I found out that there were spectators gathered around the building.
Seems like they have a stage set up in front of the building.
Thereâs still no one coming out, but thereâs a crowd around it, so Iâm sure that somethingâs going to happen from now on.
[Thank you for your hard work-ssu.] (Tail)
[Ah, if it isnât Tail. You come here just in time, is something going to start soon?]Â (Ryouta)
Tail opened his eyes wide and looked around.
[There isnât one that I know of-ssu?] (Tail)
[Is it strange if I donât know about it?]Â (Ryouta)
[Yes-ssu becauseââ] (Tail)
As soon as Tail tried to explain, his voice was overwhelmed by the cheers of the large audience.
The cheering was directed towards the stage where the little girlââthe chairman of Flint, Mao appeared.
[Thank you so much for coming to the new sake launch party today nano~]Â (Mao)
While she said that, she raised both her hands as if she wanted to say [Wa~i], which only adds more loveliness combined with her cute appearance.
But that only makes the crowd even louder.
The new sake launchâŠ.Aah, is it that new sake that we modified at the 20th floor of Lanthanum.
Looking at the crowd again, it seemed that most of them are adventurers.
Well, they are curious about what new product they could sell in the future.
[The new sake that Maoâs going to show you is from the 20th floor of Lanthanum nano. It is a new wine nano.]Â (Mao)
Half of them were cheering while she was announcing.
[I wonder what sort of wine it is.]
[Is it better than that water beer?]
While the crowd was discussing, one of the employee had a bottle of wine, and went up the stage, and handed it to Mao.
Mao received the wine and raised it for everyone to see.
[This is the new Wine, and the name shall be called Bodoreă»Ryouta nano.] (Mao)
[Pfffft!] I instantly spit out an imaginary water.
Why does the wine have my name on it.
[Iâm sure that Ryouta is the boss of the Ryouta Family. But what is Bodore?]
[I think itâs an old language, meaning ăAbsolute Godâs bloodă or something.]
[What an amazing name. Is it such a good wine?]
The name has been strongly transmitted to the people around, and the sense of expectation was rising.
Even Tail who was beside me went [Wow-ssu, youâre incredible-ssu.] with an awe like feeling.
Looking at Mao, she had one of the employee poured the wine, and distributed it to the audiences.
The moment they drank a sip of the wineâ-the crowdâs cheers spread like waves.
[What is thisâŠThis isâŠ.]
Similar with Tail, the audiences were losing their mind.
Waiting for the crowd to calm down before speaking again.
[Mao rates this points 120 nano.]Â (Mao)
[The purchase of Bodoreă»Ryouta will be a special license, and will only be open in the market for a day, so whoever wants it has to get a license.] (Mao)
Boiled by Maoâs words, several adventurers ran over to the middle and fought with each other.
It is veryâŠ.very popular.
The association room, sitting in front of Mao.
Even though weâre inside a room, I could still hear the noises of the adventurers outside the room.
[Mao has asked many people to try to produce the Bodoreă»Ryouta wine.] Mao said while smiling.
[Though there are still some improvements, but itâs great that someone like you can score more than 100 points. All the wines weâve made before are now obsolete, and itâs all thanks to you nano.]Â (Mao)
[Good to be of help.]Â (Ryouta)
[No, thank you for giving Mao Bodoreă»Ryouta to sell.] (Ryouta)
[Iâm glad butâŠwhy did you put my name on it?] (Ryouta)
[Is there something wrong with it?]Â (Mao)
Mao leaned her cute neck to the side.
She looked adorable with her small figureâŠ.
[No but, itâs embarrassing to use my name like this.]Â (Ryouta)
[Mao wants you to cooperate with me. So I want to brand this wine.]Â (Mao)
[Branding huh.]Â (Ryouta)
[Nano! Mao will say it right now.]Â (Mao)
Mao for some reason furrowed her eyebrows, and showed a cute but sad expression.
[Ryoutaă»Bamboo is too normal. So if we want to use your name, we need to make a strong impression. Eric Ojii-san has zero naming sense nano.] (Mao)
So thatâs why she chose Bodore.
Absolute Godâs BloodâŠ.But that just sounds too strong.
[Please nano~. Mao needs Ryoutaâs help for the breeding improvement. Since itâs so popular right from the get go. Itâll go from ăYouâll understand once you drink ită to ăYou donât even need to drink to know itâs goodă nano.]Â (Mao)
[If you put it that way, itâs hard to say noâŠ.] (Ryouta)
As I worked for a long time in a company, I know that pain.
Even if itâs goodââLike really really good, itâs often hidden by the public, so it isnât well known.
This time itâs the wineâŠThe wine is definitely good, but if people donât know about it, then thereâs no point.
Mao is basically saying to use my name to promote the wine.
If thatâs the case, I guess I donât mind it since I was the one who got involved in the first place.
All I have to do is endure this embarrassment.
[Alright. Use it to your liking.]Â (Ryouta)
Mao smiled innocently, and hugged me tightly.
Thus, Flintâs request was a huge success.
We have a new wine bearing my name, and itâs only being sold once every 3 months.
And theyâll continue to brand more and more, so itâll soon become popular to be able to sell it regularly.
