I asked Rain to separate the coffee berries into skin, pulp, and seeds, but he said it was difficult to drain the water out of the seeds, so I decided to wait for Dine and the others who had gone to pick up the spirits who would help me make sake to return.

After a while, Nomos, Dine, and If returned with about ten spirits each, and after a brief greeting, they quickly went to the site where the brewery was to be built. I stopped Dine, who was going to the brewery with me, and told her that the seeds had been dried and now it was time for the roasting.

"Good morning, Yuta!

After thinking about my plans for the day, I left the bedroom and Belle and her friends jumped on me. They're full of energy this morning. I greet them in the morning, stroking them as they float in the air.

Even though they have materialized, the bells are basically flying. Sometimes they are on the ground when they are playing, but it is probably more convenient for them to be flying.

Sylphy and other great spirits are often seen walking leisurely in the sanctuary. They are big and seem to be enjoying nature by walking leisurely on the ground.

When I went to the living room with Belle and the others, Marco, also full of energy from this morning, came running up to me with Kikka.

"Master! It's amazing. It's a big house.

"It's big!"

"Marco, Kikka. You must greet the master properly in the morning."

"Yes, it was. Master! Good morning."

"Good morning, Osho-sama."

"Good morning, master."

Marco and Kikka greet each other in the morning after being reminded by Sara. Sara is starting to take on the role of a mother for such a young girl, isn't she? And Marco said something that bothered me.

"Good morning, Sara, Marco, Kikka. So ......"

I tried to ask them what they meant by "big house", but Sarah, Belle and Fuchu were already in front of me, rubbing each other and greeting each other in the morning.

...... seems to be having a good time. I think it would be quicker to check it myself, so I head outside. The big house...... well, I guess it's a brewery in all probability.

Oh, good morning, master. Look over there, there's a new building there before you know it.

"Good morning, Gina. Yeah, ...... is up."

Yesterday, the spirits were headed for a building that was not so tall, but wide and wide. Well, I was secretly scared of what it would be like since they said it was big, but it's not that big.

It seems I was exaggerating when I imagined something like a skyscraper. It's big, but at best it's about the size of three of my houses. It seems small for a brewery built by nomos. Maybe they were just being considerate.

When I was talking with Nomos before, I think I promised him that I would build a brewery, but from the looks of it, I don't think I have to. I'd rather have Nomos build me a mansion.

I mean, the distillery that I carved out of the rock, if Nomos had built it himself, he could have made a much more usable building. ...... If not, were you taken care of here as well?

...... Wasn't I smug when I built the distillery? ...... No, don't think about it any more. This is definitely the kind of thing that makes you want to roll around on the ground if you think about it too much. I'm not wrong. I'm not wrong that I built the distillery because I promised to keep the Great Spirit out of it as much as possible.

And it's good that you built the building with your own money. We're making a lot of money. The economy can't survive without it. Besides, I promised Sylphy and the others. Yeah, I'm not wrong.

"Master, you don't look so good. What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. That's the spirits that built the brewery. Anyway, I'll talk to them after breakfast.

I haven't had breakfast yet. Master, let's go back to the house.

"Yes, let's go back."

I want a good breakfast and to be healed by the belles.

**

"Well, we've only built the outside, not the inside yet, but we're going to turn that place into a brewery. But there are a lot of things that need to be made, and it's a lot of work."

You say it's a lot of work, but you seem to be enjoying it. Building a brewery, or making things and brewing sake, is a kind of bliss for Nomos.

"But I'm sure Nomos and the others will get to brewing in no time, right? What are you going to brew first?"

It's not that easy.

Unusually, Nomos looks reluctant.

"Is there a problem?"

"Well ...... you have gathered from three sanctuaries to make sake. Each of them has their own brewing preferences, and none of them are willing to give up, so we haven't even decided what kind of sake we're going to make first."

"...... I thought spirits didn't get into trouble, but I guess that's not true either."

"Well, ...... it's true that there is seldom a dispute, but it's about alcohol, after all."

...... nomos has a slightly distant look.

"So they're arguing over what kind of sake to make?"

"Yes, that is an important issue, but right now we are arguing about the ingredients.

Ingredients?

"Well, there are two schools of thought: one takes time from the raw material stage and gathers the power of the spirits to make the best sake, and the other starts with the raw material and grows it with the help of the spirits of the forest to make sake that all the spirits can't drink."

You can either aim for a luxury product or a cheap and tasty sake for the masses.

"They are fundamentally different goals, and they will never agree with each other, will they? I think you'll have less trouble later if you split the brewery in two from the start."

It is true, but there are many other issues that need to be reconciled. We all have our own preferences, and we all take brewing seriously, and that's why we quarrel. If we were to argue with each other every time, I don't know how many breweries would be established in paradise. If we were to argue with each other, there would be ten breweries in paradise by tomorrow.

Is it a case of too many boatmen climbing a mountain? I guess it's nice to have many breweries, but what about ten breweries in this little paradise? But there are so many spirits, shouldn't there be at least that many? If each one tastes different, there will be more fun.

"That sounds like a good way to have more fun, doesn't it?"

Yes, one or two breweries are fine, but if the production capacity of the brewery is reduced too much by splitting it up, the spirits who are waiting for the sake will complain. Paradise is a hot spot."

It seems that the society of spirits is complicated in many ways.

"So, what do you think of nomos?"

"Well, after all, it's only after we make a lot of sake. We'll talk and find a compromise and work as one to make sake. When we can afford it, it would be good for each of us to pursue our own sake.

"So you have a policy in place."

"Well, that's easy for you to say, but it's a pain in the ass to find a compromise. It was supposed to be a fun brewing experience, but there have been some unexpected problems."

Everyone loves what they do, and there are many things that are non-negotiable.

"Well, good luck with that. Gina was looking forward to the sake that the spirits would make.

"That girl, huh? Well, if she expects us to do well, we'll do our best. I'll be back.

Nomos' back is slightly sooty as he walks back. It's a far cry from the time he led the spirits he brought yesterday to the proposed brewery site. Well, they will be fine once we start brewing. Now, I'm going to process the coffee.

"Master, what do we have to do today?"

Come to think of it, I haven't told Gina and the others what to do. But for now, we have no choice but to go to the undead camp or take a day off.

Gina and Sara are doing some cooking, but Marco and Kikka don't have much change in their daily lives. Now that Fukuchan and the others have materialized, I'd like to start something new. Hmm? I think I thought the exact same thing the other day.

"Take your time, I'll think of something."

I let Gina and the others who were waiting for my instructions sit on the sofa and let my mind go full blast. I like things to be fun and experiential. But not too difficult, and not too dangerous. ...... I might be able to use an idea that I gave up before because it seemed too difficult to communicate with the spirits.

I think we can ...... do it, but it will be difficult with only Gina and Fuchu and the others. Since Belle and her friends are often asked to come and play with us, we should let Gina, Fukuchan and Belle play with us.

"Gina, I've decided on something new for you to do. I'll have Belle and the others help you, so please follow me.

I took Gina, Fukuchan, Bell and the others outside and headed for the westernmost block next to the park. Marco and Belle asked me what new things we were going to do, but I told them it would be fun when we got there, without meaning anything by it. I could have just explained it to them as we walked. 

"I'll leave this one block to you guys!"

"Master, what do you mean by 'leave it to me'?"

While everyone was in a daze at my sudden words, Sarah tilted her head and asked me a question.

"Yes, that's a good question. Please think of a way to make this a beautiful plaza.

"A plaza?"

Yes, a plaza. This is the westernmost side of the plaza, facing the place where many spirits come. It will be lonely if it's just a patch of dirt, so please do your best to make the spirits happy when they see this place.

Gina, Sarah, Marco, and Kikka are visibly confused. Belle and Fuchu and the others seem to have no idea what they're talking about, since they're all making innocent noises about how they're going to clean the place up.

"Master, even if you say so, I don't even know what to do. ......"

I know, right? I know I'm being reckless.

"I know. So I have a few requests that would be nice to have, so please take a look at them. First of all, I'd like to have a place like a hill, because it's lonely with only flat ground. Also, a pond or a flower garden would be beautiful. I would also like to have a resting place.

It's a bit random, but a nice pond and a flower garden should do the trick.

"Master. It would be difficult for us to do that much on our own."

"Basically, Gina, Fuchu and Belle and the others will consult with each other to decide on the basics, but you can also consult with me and the Great Spirits if you have any difficulties on your own. If you need something you don't have, just ask me and I'll do my best to get it for you. Don't worry if you fail or if it takes a long time, it's just training. We'll all discuss things together and do our best."

"Is this a training exercise?"

"Yes. There are many other things that spirits can help us with besides fighting. There are many spirits around you, listen to them and try different things.

After a short discussion among the four of us, Gina stepped forward.

"Master, I'll give it a try.

He looked very enthusiastic. I was hoping he would take it easier on me, but the word "training" put a lot of pressure on him, didn't it? I'm fine with the festival-like atmosphere. .......

"Well, good luck. But as I said before, there's nothing wrong if you fail, so just take it easy and have fun."

""""Yes! """"

...... Well, it's good that you're motivated. Now that everyone is discussing what to do with the place, I'm going back home to turn the coffee seeds into coffee beans. ...... what stage of processing can we say a coffee bean is? I don't know the boundary between coffee berries and coffee beans.
