Chapter 47: Making soda and getting along! Part 2

Clarissa was accepted by Lucia and the others and now we are making a soda for the celebration party.

Now, what materials are used in making a soda?

The truth it is made from familiar food.

For that reason I was giving questions to the girls like a quiz.

“Okay, I am going to give the hint for the next ingredient. It’s a three character fruit, it’s yellow and it has a sour taste. Now, what could it be?” (TN: Characters as in JP language system not ours.)

“Yes! Yes! Yes!”

Elin was the first one to raise a voice like she knew the answer.

It felt a bit like desperation.

“Oi, oi you only have to reply once.”

I said it with a wry smile. Why are you so energetic.

It’s not like there are other rewards than caressing.

“I’m sorry. But only this time I didn’t want to yield. Ehm, the answer is certainly Lemon, right?”

Elin said that timidly while looking at me filled with anticipation.

“I was beaten to the answer…”

“I got overtaken~ I fail as a goddess.”

“Muu, it was impossible to do it once again…”

“Helpless…”

The other girls were giving serious voices of regret.

Fuumu, I did not think this kind of quiz was greatly popular with the girls.

It’s like a tournament amongst the girls, it was somehow scary.

Must be because they like the quiz.

I should prepare a quiz for another time.

While I was thinking.

“So the answer is!?”

Elin asked with an impatient expression.

“Aah, it’s correct. Well done.”

I said with a wry smile and praised her answer.

“I did it! It’s correct!”

She was overbearingly happy.

Good grief, this kind of quiz is really popular.

It’s a bit enviable.

“Please me too.”

While I was thinking she said that with a blushing face and readily presented her head.

Aah, I forgot about it.

There is a reward for their effort after all.

Just like Laara earlier I also caressed Elin’s head.

“Aah… Masatsugu-sama.”

Earlier she was unbelievably frolicking and now for some reason at my patting she was obedient and was breathing greatly.

Most likely it’s embarrassing for her.

Just like the last time with Laara I pay attention and try to remove my hands.

“Bad… Just a little bit more.”

But, I was asked to extend it again.

Umu, why?

While tilting my head in doubt I make sure to continue petting her head.

With that the major ingredients were picked out.

That’s right, if you have a lemon and baking soda… you are able to make carbonic juice in other word Soda.

With only that the taste won’t be very good, so adjusting it with sugar and honey would be good.

By cooling it with magic, Lemon soda with honey will be finished!

“Then the Laara and Elin who got it correct will bring the lemon and baking soda. The Water spirit deity Shii will give us fresh water. Lucia will bring the sugar from the shelf that we just bought some time ago. And, then the left-over honey from the mirror that Clarissa was making. We’ll be using it so can you bring it?

I indicated that to the girls.

“Yes! We understand.”

They replied cheerfully and each of them started doing what I told them.

And before long we had all of the ingredients gathered up.

Ooh, it was somehow fast. Doing it so promptly, the girls are really excellent.

I was satisfied so I pet the heads of the girls who didn’t get the answers in the quiz.

“Haa~”

“This’ll become a habit…”

They let out impressions that I couldn’t understand very well.

As I thought it’s ticklish?

I moderately began to separate my hand.

When I did so, just like the other girls from earlier they were asking for a prolongation with a sad face.

Un, this is truly puzzling.

I somehow managed to control myself and finish it, and I could finally start making cider.

Sigh, why is making soda only is this tiring. Truly mysterious.

“Fuu… Shall we start now? The process is really simple. If you mix baking soda and lemon then carbonic acid will be formed. Basically with that it is finished.”

“Carbonic acid????”

The girls unequivocally tilted their heads and showed a vacant expression.

Ah, is that so. They didn’t know about carbonic acid.

“Seeing is believing. Why don’t we try it. Look, you mix them like this…”

While saying that I was pouring the lemon juice and baking soda in the water served by Shii.

“Aah!?”

Surprised voices came from the girls.

“Master! Somehow a lot of small bubbles floated on the top!”

Lucia let out a voice full of surprise.

“Aah, that’s carbonic acid. So anybody wants to try drinking it?”

I calmly said that.

“Eeeeh!? Masatsugu-sama, this is something you can drink!?”

“Somehow it’s bubbly as you said!?”

Elin and Laara were very flustered.

“Masatsugu-san is amazing… I’ve never seen water like this before…”

Even Shii who rules over water says that to me and looks only at the water without reaching for it.

Fuumu, this is rare that everybody is making a fuss but not drinking.

Probably a bit too surprised.

At the moment I was thinking.

“I’ll drink it and see!”

The voice came from Clarissa and her hand was rosen.

The other girls were surprised.

Fumu, it seems challenging herself to something new has sparked her craftswoman spirit.

As expected of a dwarf girl she has grit.

Her usual drowsy eyes were now fully open and fully nervous.

“Okay, Do your best!”

She was still hesitating at doing it but at my encouragement she nodded her head with resolve.

She inclined towards the glass and tasted the first soda in this world.

“De-Delicious!?”

Her impression was filled with surprise and not being able to endure it she drunk the rest of it aswell.

“Oi, oi we still have to flavor it a bit with sugar and honey.”

I looked at her with a wry smile.

“Is it that delicious!? Clarissa-chan!”

“What kind of taste is it!?”

Elin and Lucia threw their questions.

“This is my first time drinking a beverage like this. When I drank it there was clapping and popping in my throat. It’s very intriguing.”

Clarissa gave a very unique answer of her.

“Must be nice, looked very delicious~”

“Damn, I wanted to be the first one to drink it!”

Shii and Laara leaked out jealous voices.

And then Clarissa and the other girls were looking at me with eyes full of anticipation.

Fuu, sigh.

“I can make it as much as you want, so there’s no need for you girls to be flustered so much. I think it is okay with lemon but we should add sugar and honey and cool it a bit. That way it’s delicious will increase by a lot.”

“A lot!?”

A gulping sound came from Clarissa’s throat. She’s somewhat of a glutton.

“Master! I cannot wait to enjoy it myself!”

“All of the cold spells that I memorized were all for this day! I am certain of it, now!”

“I’m glad that I am a Water Spirit Deity~ I am able to make clear water for making soda~”

“I want to drink it fast!”

The girls were letting similar voices. I feel like there were a lot of parts to retort but I’ll just let it go through.

With that reason I treated everyone to lemon soda with honey.

The girls drank the cups I presented to the girls and they were surprised at first but after a bit they immediately got used to it.

“It’s truly delicious!”

“I haven’t drank things like this before!”

“It’s amusing~ The water in my mouth is popping~ I feel like the general concept of water has somehow changed in me~.”

“This is tasty! I want to somehow make this a speciality of the Demon King’s country!”

“I think this will sell more than enough. As expected, Master”

From the mouth of the girls came surprised voices.

Sigh, soda is not something that great to be fussed… Well, since the girls had various troubles in their lives hence why they are so happy.

If they are happy then everything is okay.

Like so I agreed by myself.

Thanks to the excitement from the soda the girls were able to become even more friendlier to each other.

It seems the original goal of Clarissa becoming friends with everyone else was also achieved.

I’m glad, truly glad.

After several hours passing slowly the party has been reaching its peak.

“Masatsugu-sama really can do anything he tries! I’m sure that he will probably have a talent for mixing potions too!”

Elin innocently muttered that out.

“Hm? Potion?”

I tilted my head to the word I haven’t heard before and asked Elin what it is.
