Chapter 323 – Village Five’s Alcohol Situation
I’m a man who runs a bar in Village Five .
My name does not matter .
That’s not what I want to talk about .
I’m in a pinch now .
The cause of it is the Village Five Festival that was held a while ago .
That time, a delicious alcohol of unknown origin was sold .
It was very delicious .
The superb alcohol that I’ve been drinking up to now can be considered as ditchwater .
It was also sold at a cheap price .
At that time, I did not think of anything else because I was so drunk drinking that delicious alcohol .
It was only after the festival that I awakened from my drunkenness .
To those who tasted that alcohol, everything else has now become ditch water .
「No, even this alcohol is not delicious enough . This was satisfying until a while ago!」
My voice, which is full of emptiness, echoes across this deserted bar .
… .
This is not good .
It is unpalatable .
What’s wrong is that I can’t even fool myself .
I need to be honest with myself .
I want to drink that alcohol .
I checked all the alcohol wholesalers, big and small, in Village Five .
However, they don’t have it .
And it seems like they are looking for the supplier too .
The only one who had a positive response was Goroun Company .
However, it is not available in their branch here in Village Five but in their head office in Shashaato City .
Unfortunately, it is currently out of stock .
There’s also no exact date for the next arrival .
Should I give up?
No .
I will not give up .
I can’t give up .
I need that alcohol .
What do I do then?
Go to the Goroun Company head office in Shashaato City and ask for the information about the supplier… .
There is no way they’ll tell me .
For a company, there’s no merit in telling a customer about the information of the supplier .
On the contrary, there are a lot of demerits .
Ah, what should I do now?
Dogeza?
Or should I close my bar and join Goroun Company?
Ugugu .
I’m in trouble .
When I was worrying, Youko-sama, the acting village chief of Village Five, issued an announcement .
The content is, a small amount of alcohol served at the festival will be sold at a low price .
Ooohhh, sasuga Youko-sama!
She fulfills the wishes of the villagers!
The top of the small mountain where Village Five is located .
The venue where the alcohol would be sold is overflowing with people .
Eh?
Why?

Why are the other shop owners that sell alcohol here too? I have never seen every shop owner in one place .
……
No .
Not only the shop owners but even common residents are here too .
Right .
According to the notice, the amount you could buy is limited but it did not specify who could buy .
Is this Youko-sama’s carelessness?
No, it’s not .
「Wholesalers, please gather on the west, retailers at the center, and all others to the east . 」
I see .
She already anticipated the movement of the general public .
Indeed, the amount of alcohol a wholesaler, a retailer, and a normal citizen would buy is quite different .
It seems like she already anticipated that area .
I can’t complain if she wants to sell to the wholesalers but I wish she wouldn’t sell some to the general public .
I’m a retailer so I head to the center .
The staff explained to the retailers gathered at the center how to handle the alcohol first .
The way of handling is the same as other alcohol is handled .
It’s not difficult .
They also said that we can freely sell them if we want .
However, the staff recommended us to treat it as a premium and not sell it to the general public .
I wondered why but soon found out the reason .
The amount to be sold is small .
Perhaps all they’ll sell to us are the barrels of alcohol behind the staff .
However, if you divide the number of barrels to the number of retailers here, not everyone will have one .
With that amount, it will likely be consumed immediately if sold to the public .
What surprised me was the price .

It was 300 times more expensive than it was at the festival .
As expected, there are complaints .
「Shouldn’t it be cheaper if sold wholesale!」
「According to the notice, it will be sold at a low price!」
Those are the voices of other retailers .
I thought of saying something too but I did not dare because Youko-sama came .
「You guys, the fact that you came here must have been because you tasted it at the festival . Is this alcohol expensive at this price? Or do you think it is cheap?」
When she said that, we were embarrassed .
Certainly, it’s the finest alcohol .
Even if its price is 300 times more compared to its price during the festival, it is still cheap .
「At the festival, it was only sold cheaply because of the village chief . This alcohol was also prepared by the village chief . If you have any complaints, leave this place . 」
Not a single person left .
I obtained alcohol .
It was a big expenditure but just having this alcohol at hand put my heart at ease .
As recommended, I’ll use it as a premium when there’s an event .
However, thinking of my bar, I remembered that I don’t have any decent alcohol to sell .
The alcohols I have are no longer popular .
Assuming that everyone now has ten serving of festival alcohol, no one would dare drink my alcohol who no longer has appeal .
At the very least, I want one to three appealing alcohols .
My big problem . Youko-sama solved it .
「Although not as good as the festival alcohol, we also prepared alcohol with a decent taste . Sampling is permitted . If you want to try, you can ask the staff . 」
Decent taste alcohol .
So that’s how it is .
It really has a decent taste .
However, if you compare it with all the alcohols I’ve tasted in the past, it is incomparable .
They say this alcohol can also be used for cooking .

At the same time .
On the east side, a fierce draw lots had begun .
The staff realized that it is impossible to sell to everyone who gathered there .
Only those who win the draw lots can drink a small cup on the spot .
Free of charge .
Screams of joy echo .
On the west side, the wholesalers had begun an auction .
Every barrel has a sky-high price .
Ah, Goroun Company is terrible .
It’s like they’re beating everyone with silver coins .
However, given that price, it will be difficult for any retailer to buy .
They are probably planning to sell it outside .
Oh, several wholesalers group together and bid off at a high price .
Don’t do it .
With that price, you can even buy my store .
Will you be alright?
Ah, you’re going to drink them yourself?
They look overjoyed so I guess there’s no problem .
Meanwhile .
I’m someone who runs a restaurant in Village Five .
My name does not matter .
I’m in a pinch now .
The cause of it is the Village Five Festival that was held a while ago .
The dishes served there were too delicious .
