My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 273

We Drank The Pretty Colored Wine

After using the rag that Ms. Gelda brought to wipe all the dirt and dust from Leo’s paws, we headed to the dining hall.

As Ms. Gelda could not go while holding the dirty rag, she went off on her separate way.

“Leo. From now on, you have to wipe your feet before coming inside, alright? If I am with you, I’ll ask someone to bring a rag.”

“Wuff!”

I said to Leo as we walked down the hallway.

Now they wouldn’t have to spend extra time cleaning the floors.

Well, it still wasn’t perfect…but I suppose they could forgive this much.

“Ah, Mr. Takumi. There you are.”

“Huh? Ah, Ms. Lyra.”

“Wuff?”

Just when we were about to reach the dining hall, I heard a voice come from behind me. 

When I turned around, I saw that Ms. Lyra was there.

“It’s about the medicine that you ordered Milina to concoct.”

“How is it?”

“We separated it into two and mixed it. And it turned into something that is just like the first batch. Milina is taking it to Helena right now.”

“I see. Thank you. It must have been tiring for you too.”

“No, I was just fanning them… I hope you will thank Milina later.”

“Yes, of course.”

So Milina had been able to finish the job that I asked her to do.

Obviously, I would thank her when I saw her again.

And so we walked down the hallway with Ms. Lyra until we reached the dining hall.

“Now, let’s eat.”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“Wuff.”

“Kyau!”

After sitting down at the table, at Mr. Ekenhart’s cue, we began to eat.

Perhaps it was because of Mr. Ekenhart, but there was a lot of meat today as well.

Leo and Sherry would be happy about that. And while I enjoyed it as well, perhaps it was a bit much for Ms. Claire and Ms. Anne.

Or so I thought, but the two seemed like they took no notice of this as they ate.

As Tilura exercised a lot like I did, she had a great appetite.

Move a lot and eat a lot…she was very healthy.

“Mmm… So, Mr. Takumi. Would you like to explain this?”

“Ah, of course. I would be glad to.”

While chewing on his meat, Mr. Ekenhart pointed to the glasses of wine that had been served.

They contained the same pink wine that I had tasted earlier during the day.

…It really did look quite pretty.

Sebastian’s eyes flashed at the word, ‘explain,’ but then he realized that he wasn’t the one called upon, and he looked disappointed.

But it could not be helped this time.

“Uhh, it’s wine that contains Ramogi. And as you can see, the color has changed quite a lot. According to Leo, you need to mix a certain amount in order to remove the disease completely.”

“And…how much is that exactly?”

“Half of what you would use to treat one person. Any less, and the wine will still be infected. Isn’t that right, Leo?”

“Wuff!”

Once I started to explain, Ms. Claire and Ms. Anne stopped eating and listened intently.

Both of them were looking at the wine with deep interest.

As for Tilura, Leo and Sherry, some juice had been prepared for them, and so they were busy drinking that.

“Hmm. I see. Yes, the color does seem quite different compared to normal wine.”

“Yes, it’s because of the Ramogi. Sebastian. You told me that if you put Ramogi in water, the color will change?”

“Indeed. It will dissolve and usually turn purple. Though, it is not known if it is due to a substance in the Ramogi, or some other change in the water… Well, it now seems to me that the reason is in the Ramogi.”

Mr. Ekenhart was curious about the color, and so I brought Sebastian into the conversation, much to his delight.

…He really had been waiting for this moment.

Mr. Ekenhart and the others stared at their glasses as they listened.

“It really is pretty…”

“Yes. Ordinary wine is pretty, but this has a nice clearness to it.”

“I think that women would like it. Yes, it is very nice in its own way. But what about the taste?”

“To be honest…well, I can’t really say. I feel as if it is slightly different from the original.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. I drank it myself when in Range village, and… But I really do not know a lot about wine. I think it might be sweeter. But there is also a bitterness as well…”

“Bitterness… I see. Well, let us try drinking it then.”

“Yes.”

“It almost feels like a waste to drink something so pretty…”

It had a vibrant and clear pink color in the glass.

Ms. Claire and Ms. Anne sighed with admiration as they looked at it.

Just as Mr. Ekenhart said, it seemed like the women were fond of the color.

But now they wanted to check the taste… Or maybe it just Mr. Ekenhart, who loved his liquor.

Ms. Claire hesitated a little, but then she took a sip after seeing the others drink it.

“…It’s sweet! I’ve never drunk something like this before!”

“Indeed! It is so delicious! The beautiful color and fruity taste. But it also has the depth you expect from wine!”

“Hmm. It is quite good. And I can taste the bitterness that Mr. Takumi talked about…but it enhances the sweetness.”

“Yes. Perhaps some people would not care for it, but… I find it even better than what I drank in Range village.”

“I see. Well, this has been quite a success then.”

After drinking the wine, everyone was surprised by how delicious it was.

Mr. Ekenhart detected the bitterness as well, but overall, he was greatly satisfied with it.

Ms. Claire and Ms. Anne enjoyed the sweet fruitiness and did not say anything about the bitterness.

As Tilura, Leo and Sherry were drinking juice, they didn’t say anything, but seemed to be enjoying their drinks nonetheless.
