Chapter 227: Gods who Love Other Worldly Stuff

Phew, that was a good bath,

Baths are awesome ~

Baths feel really good right?

I went to enjoy the baths with Dora-chan and Sui since this is the last night we could do so in this house. As expected of a house that used to belong to an aristocrat. The baths here are amazing, magnificently spacious and gorgeous. I feel a little sad about not being able to enjoy it much longer.

Aruji~ Sui wants a sweet drink before bed~

Oh, sounds good, I feel like having something sweet too. Dora-chan flapped lazily around us.

Ah, I guess the desire for something sweet and milky after getting out of the bath is rather universal, eh?

Yes, yes, Ill give it to you once were upstairs, I promised.

Fer was already relaxing on his futon bed in the master bedroom.

Fer, Im giving Dora-chan and Sui some fruit milk, do you want some too?

Umu, yes,

I bought the fruit milk from [Net Super] and filled their plates.

When you finish drinking, just leave the plates where they are. I have something I need to do in the other room.

Nu, what is it?

That thing, that thing with the Gods.

Oh, is that so? Then, you should do your best and work properly.

Work properly? I really have no idea what work properly means when it comes to these gods and goddesses

Hey Fer, the Gods and Goddesses should know everything about this world right?

Thats right, they are Higher Beings after all.

Hmm, good point. Then, they should know something about the Avering Dungeon right? I should shake some information out of them.

^_^

Hello? Is everyone there-?

As soon as I called out, a chorus of voices answered me. [5]

We have been waiting ~

What took you so long!?

We waited and waited-!

cake,

Ou! Youre finally here.

Im getting tired of waiting.

Im getting the impression that these Gods and Goddesses are probably a bit too obsessed with products from another world.

It cant be helped, the things from your world are too delicious!

Oh, so youre going for the direct attack?

As expected of this useless pantheon of gods. [1] Whatever, lets just get this over with.

Ninril-sama, would you like to have the same as usual?

What do you mean useless? How could you be so rude to your betters ~ Anyway, this mistress wants Fujiya cakes as usual.

Oops, I have forgotten they could read my mind.

Ah well, I opened up [Net Super] and went to the Fujiya Cakes section. [5]

Oh, it looks like they have some new products. Do y-

Wh-what is it?! Show me! Show me!

I showed her the page, [3] Here they are.

Nuuooooooo, everything looks so gorgeous and delicious! All of them! All of them! I want them all!

Very well, all the new products. I grimly checked the box for all the new stuff, these included: Mango Roll Cake, a refreshing looking Mango Short Cake served in a glass bowl, a No-Bake Cheese Cake with Mango Sauce, Mango Jelly, and finally, Almond Jelly topped with Cubed Mango & Other Fruits.

I put everything into the cart.

Anything else? Would you like to continue down the list of cakes or hmm, looks like they have added a line of Fruit Tarts and Mille Crepe slices, would you like those instead?

Muu, those looked delicious. Yes, yes, I want those too!

I added a Fruit Tart and a Mille Crepe slice into the cart. There isnt a lot of budget left, How about getting an assortment of tea cakes with the rest of your budget? [5]

An assortment of tea cakes?! Yes! Yes to it all! [5]

I entered her order and turned to the next customer. Kishar-sama, if you please?

Yes, it is I, Kishars turn. The lotion and cream set was really excellent. I am pleasantly surprised by how firm and supple my skin feels the next morning. I want something from the same series.

Well, those were really expensive, top tier stuff after all. So, its good that she likes them. Lets see, what other products they have in this series. Hm this 30ml beauty essence looked promising.

This is a beauty essence from the same series. It costs 8 silver and 5 bronze coins, what do you think?

Oh? What kind of effect does it have? Never mind, since its from the same series, Im sure itll also be very good. Ill have it!

Such high handed attitude

Clearly, when it came to beauty, women dont hesitate. Kishar-sama dropped over 8 silver coins on a single 30ml bottle of beauty essence. I really cant understand it I dont think any man could understand it

What would you like to buy with the remaining 1 silver and 5 bronze coins?

Oh, just give me some soaps. [4] Im going to bestow gifts to those lower deities under my command.

[4] [6] I-is that right? I asked, even as I looked through various packets of soap bars.

[4] Mmm, this kind of thing cannot be kept under wraps forever. However, I can stop the mouths of people under me with a little reward. She sounded very smug, Accepting my gifts meant promising a vow of silence.

Err, I have no idea what the politics between various gods and goddesses are like, but if you want soap, sure, Ill give you soap. [6] Also, since shes giving them as gifts

Ahem, would you like them all to be rose-scented?

Hm, no. Pick out a few types for me.

Alright, I showed her the page that has several different soaps on display. This is one of my favourites, indicating a soap decorated with a little pattern of a cow in front. The scent is not bad, it foams up nicely and good for cleaning. This brand has a few lines of soaps, but I usually buy the one in the blue box.

Since Other Worlder-kun recommends it, I shall take it.

Lets see, what else should I suggest

Oh, this one looks good, it says its foam is very creamy in texture. Sounds like something a beauty otaku would like. As for the final one Oh, Ive never used this American brand myself, but the reviews looked good. Lets get that one.

4 kinds of soaps went into the cart. Thats it for Kishar-sama.

Agni-sama is next. Please state what you want.

Oooh, thats right. This Fire Goddess just wants beers. While beer snacks are nice, this time I want beer only. Just give me whatever you think is good. After all, beers from the other world are especially delicious.

[5] I remember I gave her quite a lot of beers last time. 1 case of beer, plus 3 packs of half a dozen cans. The case has 42 cans of 350ml beer Agni-sama, did you drink that all up in one week?

That cant be good.

Aaaahhh Beer is most delicious after a good workout and the best nightcap just before bed. Before I knew it, its all gone, hahahaha!

this is not a hahaha matter, I do believe Agni-sama is turning into an alcoholic.

Its fine, its fine. In fact, Im feeling more awesome than usual. The delicious beer must have a great effect on my spirits, hahaha!

Well, Kishar-sama is a goddess. So, I guess she doesnt have to bother about the limits of an ordinary human. After all, gods and goddesses should have much longer lifespans and dont get sick that easily, right?

Alright, so just beer? I had to confirm one more time.

Ou! Just beer,

Hmm, I bought a case of Company As premium beer last time, so lets get a case of Company Ss beer this time. [5] Next, lets get the six-pack beers from Company A and Y-bis. Oh, I should get a six-pack of Company As black beer too.

I also picked out a six-pack of Company Ks special pale lager with a nice grain aroma and crisp flavour, as well as a six-pack of Company Ss Black Label beer.

That should do it. I thought of getting happoshu [8], Japanese low-malt beer, but since Agni-sama says beer, [6] I should stick with items that are officially recognised as beer by the Japanese government.

With this, Agni-samas part was over too.

Next is

Me, Ruka. The food you ate at Verulean looks delicious. However, the cakes Ninril-sama ordered looks good. I think cake is better. I want the new cakes.

Oh? Ruka-sama is getting rather specific with her orders now.

Would you like to have what Ninril-sama is ordering?

The same, but, I want ice-cream too.

Ice-cream, is it

How about taking all the limited edition new products along with a selection of ice-cream? I explained Fujiyas menu to Ruka-sama. The new products include the mango cakes and jellies as well as the mille crepes. Additionally, you can choose 8 different Ice-cream Cups.

!!! Yes, take everything. Choose the ice-cream for me.

There were a total of 10 different types of Ice-cream Cups, so I guess she can get the last two next time. By the way, the ones that were left behind were the classic vanilla and chocolate flavours.

Thats it for Ruka-sama. Next is-

Us!

Ou! Its our turn, na!

And here we have our liquor loving combo.

I have no idea what to ask for. Everything from last time was just too delicious. Im starting to understand that even though all those drinks are called whiskies, there are different grades and types of whiskies. Alcohol from another world is too good.

As you said. I have no idea what kind of horse piss Ive been drinking until now. After getting to know the taste of true liquor, I dont think Ill ever go back to that previous stuff.

These two seemed really addicted to whiskey. Well, I guess the mainstream alcohol here would be ale. My guess is ale is too weak for these two addicts.

Well, what would you like?

That is what bothers me now. I have some favourites, but I still want something new.

Same here, same here. What a headache.

The alcoholic combo seemed to be in quite a pickle.

I think, no matter what, I must have the Worlds Number One Whiskey, said the War God.

I agree. Definitely must have that one.

Well, the worlds best single malt whiskey on earth is manufactured in Japan and comes in a round bottle. [TZ 1]

Well, Blacksmith God, shall we ask for new things with the rest of the budget? Getting to know new alcohol is pretty important too,

But of course, lets go with that, War God.

I quickly interjected before they decided to change their minds, Then, would you like me to select new kinds of whiskies for you?

Umu,

Aaa,

Well, from what I know of these two [5] [6] How about this one. Its a little pricey, but its described as Deliciously smooth with notes of rich dried fruits and sherry balanced with woodsmoke and spice. A renowned international whiskey writer called it simply the best 12-Year-Old single malt around?

Best 12-Year-Old single malt?!! the two Gods chorused together.

Umu, that sounds good.

Aa, lets get that one,

[6] theres no need to act modestly after being all excited, you know?

Whatever, I picked out the next bottle of whiskey. According to the description, its made with winter wheat instead of rye and has a gentle sweetness.

[10] Looks good, the colour is an amazing amber brown,

[10] Aa, lets go with that one,

According to the budget, you can pick out one more bottle. How about this one? The price is just right. According to the review, this blend was accidentally created when they mistakenly left a few premium casks of whiskey outside in the cold. Later, when they recovered the casks, they found the whiskey to be super smooth, [6] I am getting quite used to my role as a promoter now.

[10] Ooh, nice story,

[10] Umu, that is indeed intriguing. I wonder what a whiskey left outside in the extreme cold would taste like.

Yosh, thats the last of the item on the cart.

After purchasing everything, I placed the goods on their cardboard box altar and put my hands together.

Everyone, please accept my offerings.

The words were barely out of my mouth when cheers and whoops from the great pantheon reverberated in my ears

[TZ 1: Biased much?]

[Gumihou: Actually, I looked it up. Hes not wrong]

By the way, The Hakushu 25 is 10 times more expensive than the Macallan

[9] By the way, if youre interested in the type of alcohol God of War and Blacksmith bought. They are:

The Hakushu 25 year Old own by Suntory aka Company S

Either the The Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak Whiskey

Or The Glendronach, which is also said to be very famous and aged in sherry casks for 12 years, but Macallan is famous enough that even I, a non-drinker heard of it.

Bernhheim Original predominantly winter wheat with corn and barley. Sweet and Fruity

Old Parr Silver whiskey blend named after Thomas Parr. The Silver was released in 2013. Producers claim that the enhanced Chill-Filtration leaves the Silver much smoother than other comparable blend
