Chapter 32: Kaito drinks Cider
Six months have pa.s.sed since the house of the beastmen was completed.
Although the population is small, the vibrancy of the city is only increasing daily.
In particular, the fact that crops can be harvested stably is great.
Because it is a genetically regulated variety from the age of G.o.ds, it is not only fast to harvest, but also has good taste, high nutritional value and, of course, strong disease resistance.
Because you can always fill your stomach as much as you like, you can not only improve your physical condition, but also have a ease of mind.
The hairs and scales of the beastmen were shiny compared to when we first met.
However, some people think that they became fat, so I really want to start teaching them about food diet
Obesity is the source of all illness!
In addition, as crop harvests have stabilized, the processing industry has also begun.
The textile industry a.s.sociated with the cotton harvest has mainly affected the city.
The one who started was the same felper woman as Sena, who has already successfully made clothes from cotton thread.
So far, clothes have been distributed free of charge, and walking around the city, she was able to find all the beastmen in her homemade clothes.
Originally, most of the beastmen have their entire body covered with fur and scales, so many people spend full-naked rather than half-naked.
But the human-like race, like the Felper, can"t do that.
That"s why she tried to make clothes, but it was going to be very popular among other beastmen.
It is rare for those who are not dressed now.
For doublets, tunics, vests, dresses, etc.
Since it has just started to be made, the roughness is noticeable, but it is generally complete and rich in variety.
The appearance of the beastmen wearing stylish clothes on mofumofu fur and cut-out scales is very cute, I become all smiles when I look at them.
Soon it will be possible to start sericulture, etc. in the near future, and want to increase the variety of fibers.
By the way, the textile industry is not the only one that has affected the city.
The construction industry, crafts shops, restaurants, etc. are also starting, though gradually.
Finally, the water of life, which was indispensable for the development of culture, that is, alcohol, finally came to the city.

"Yo, Kaito! You"ve come!"
Garaf, the brewer"s representative, welcomed me with a fat smile.
Garaf, the tigerman"s huge man, wears emerald-colored doublets over a fine tiger skin, following the trend of the city.
It looked so good on him and I felt Garaf"s good fashion sense.
However, compared to before, I feel like he has become a little plump.
"Garaf, you"ve gotten fat!"
Garaf was upset openly when I hit him straight with facts.
"Don"t say something stupid! No way would a I, the proud Tigermen would be fat!"
"Is that so? Didn"t you really become fat~?"
"Well, it"s not a lie! It"s true!"
"So why are you swelling in size?"
"This is just because the hair has grown for winter. That"s it!"
"Huh ... I see.-Oh!"
I pierced Garaf"s gap and grabbed the bulging belly.
"Gyaa! What are you doing ?!"
"You"re really fat! You"ve got plenty of belly!"
The flesh that could not be grasped was already hidden in fluffy hair.
Calling this not fat is ridiculous.
"You"ve gained far too much weight. Get thinner, seriously."
As I held my head, Garaf ignored me and pointed at the house with his chin.
"Everyone has gathered in the courtyard. You should come as well."
This b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Do you intend to dodge the question!
It seems that it is finally necessary to start full-scale dietary education.
Well, I will forgive you for today.
After all, Garaf"s alcohol will be the first alcohol that everyone in the city will have.
When I entered the courtyard, everyone except me was already gathered.
Those who saw me called me out one after another.
Of course, there were Sena and they rushed towards me immediately.
"Mr Kaito, h.e.l.lo!"
Sena was wearing a red one-piece dress. The bright red of the dress shined on the silver hair and I thought it was very beautiful.
Nao, Shiro, and Kuro were also dressed up, and they all look good.
The grimacing Israphel was still straddling on Balaina as usual.
Looking into the back of the garden, there is an orchard that is the source of sake.
All the fruits have been harvested, but they will grow back soon.
Indeed, Its amazing how old humans came up with this genetic engineering techniques.
When you actually see the benefit, you can only be impressed with such technologies.

While chatting for a while, Garaf pulled the cart.
The cart is full of many bottles filled with liquid.
"Sorry for making you all wait! This is my liquor! There are so many of them so you guys drink until you pa.s.s out! There is also juice for the kids!"
Garaf"s words were cheered by young and the old.
Controlling it with a laugh, Garaf turns his eyes to me.
"Kaito,you have to drink it first."
"... Is that okay?"
"If not you who else will. You guys think so too right !?"
When Garaf exclaimed and asked, everyone shouted in favor.
As if being pressured by the voices, I laughed and nodded.
"Then, let me be spoiled by your kindness"
"That"s how it should be! Wait, I"ll pour it right away."
Garaf took out the bottle, pulled out the cork, and poured it into the gla.s.s he had piled with. A golden cider made of apples has a sparkling soda.
The liquor that was handed to me gave off a rich aroma of apples.
I took a sip of the cider, inflating my chest with hope.
And--
"……delicious"
A voice of exclamation leaked from my heart.
Refreshing apple flavor and moderate sweetness spreads in the mouth. Stimulation of carbonation.
They combine in exquisite temperament and give an unspeakable blissful time.
"……delicious"
I muttered again while being stunned by the deliciousness.
Seeing me, Garaf smiled satisfactorily.
"It"s delicious huh! That"s good! Then we"ll drink!"
Just as if they were waiting for these words, cheers came up again.
The drinks and juices served were of course very popular with everyone.
"This is delicious! The best alcohol!"
"The taste is great even thought it"s so easy to drink"
"Was cider always so delicious?"
"Mom, the juice is delicious too!"
Garaf also sips on his alcohol while joyfully watching everyone rejoice.
"... I think it"s delicious. I thought the fermentation was inadequate, but it"s just fine. After all, the apple tree I got from the Kaito was the best."
"There"s Garaf"s talent too."
"It"s nothing. Anyone can make a cider, there is no talent in making one."
Garaf was humble, but ciders are not something that anyone can make.
Certainly, the production method is as simple as mixing apple juice and yeast and fermenting it, but the sense is needed even for that dosing.
Even if I make it, it will not be possible to make such a delicious alcohol.
"I have wine and beer being prepared,so when they are ready, Kaito will drink it first. And they are my true work."
To Garaf"s humble but confident words, I said I am looking forward to it.
"Truly, it"s a delicious alcohol."
I let the gla.s.s through the sun. In the gla.s.s, beautiful gold swayed.
I am happy to be able to drink such wonderful golden apple wine.
"Golden apple ... Pomdor ..."
Garaf tilts his head to the muttered words.
"What is Pmoodle?"
"Yeah? ... Oh, ancient word for golden apples."
"I see, it"s a golden apple .... But it sounds good."
"I thought it was a good sounding word."
It was Sena who said it with her face turned bright red.
"I like Pomdoll, I really like the word nya!"
She is drunk, and her voice is getting louder, Nya also came out.
I smiled, but something unexpected happened here.
"What is Pmoodle?"
"It means golden apple"
"It sounds great. Pomdor."
"Pomdor, Golden Apple, Yeah, I like it too."
The words I muttered began to be transmitted to everyone.
And then, someone said something like this.
"Well, the name of the city hasn"t been decided yet, so why not use Pomdor?"
I"m guessing the one who just said that didn"t say after a deep thought.
But soon it became something everyone agreed with.
"Oh, that"s it! Since we couldn"t decide on the name why not just name it that!"
"I agree! The city of Pomdor is very friendly name!"
"I think it"s good too! From now on, this city is Pomdor!"
"Cheers to Pomdor!"
I hurriedly tried to stop everyone who was making a ruckus.
"Hey, should we just name it this easily! It"s the name of everyone"s city?"
It"s a name that will last forever and should be decided more carefully.
To make it a name that came out from a drunken momentum ...
"Come on, this is fine."
Garaf laughed as I frowned.
"It"s better to decide on this with the flow"
"No, that"s why ..."
"So, is there another good idea?"
"That is……"
There is none. If there was a good idea, it would have long been decided.
"Then, it"s decided as Pomdor. I also liked it."
"... You guys..."
"We"re a bunch of drunkards you know."
Saying so, Garaf pours wine into my gla.s.s again.
"Hey, drink more. There"s still a lot of alcohol."
I"m dissatisfied, but drinks the sake.
Then, I started to feel that I didn"t care anymore.
"Well, if everyone"s fine with it I guess it"s fine"
In this way, the name of the city of the beasts was determined to be Pomdor.

That day, I stood on the stage in the outdoor auditorium.
In the audience seats, the children of the city were sitting curiously.
Among them were Nao, Shiro and Kuro.
Yes, from this day, the school I planned will begin.
I was supposed to build a school building, but in the last minute we changed our decision.
I don"t want to build the school itself.
I just want to expand the possibilities of everyone.
Then, rather than enclosing in a school building wall, it would be easier for everyone to learn freely being taught outside, like this.
Each child is given an electronic tablet for learning.
Of course, the function is limited to pen input.
I thought about handing a pen and paper, but this one would be more convenient later.
They should get used to it early, rather than taking steps carefully.
"Well, thank you for gathering here today."
I looked over the children and laughed.
"From today, I want to teach everyone how to read, write, and calculate. So while I"m at this outdoor school, call me teacher."
"" Yes, Teacher Kaito! ""
I was almost impressed by the cheerful children"s reply.
Well, Teacher Kaito! It sounds really great!
This means teaching skills are also included.
"Then, let"s start with the letters-"
It was at that time.
-Suddenly, in my head, the voice of the Balaina rang.
"Captain Kaito! It"s an emergency! Please respond immediately! 』
I nearly fell due to how loud the voice was.
There"s no doubt that something happened since I let the Balaina manage the ship when I can"t.
However, this panic is not normal ...
"... What happened, Balaina? What happened? 』
"I have no time to explain in words! Look forwards ! 』
Forward? Have we"ve been attacked by dragons again?
I linked the consciousness of Toyok.u.mo with the consciousness without knowing anything and I saw an incredible thing ahead of it.
"Look, everyone we will cancel today"s school! Make sure to head straight home!"
I hurriedly instruct the children and rushed to the top of the Toyok.u.mo.
There were already many crowds there.
"Mr Kaito!"
From a crowd, Sena rushed to me.
"Ah, that! That! What is that?!?"
Looking at the point where she pointed while panicking, I want to doubt my eyes again.
In front of Toyok.u.mo-there was something floating in front of it.
It was a mountain, a forest, a river, a vast earth.
The size is so big that even this Toyok.u.mo be overshadowed.
In other words, a huge island. A huge island is floating in the sea of clouds.
The flowing river falls like a waterfall from the edge of the earth, creating a rainbow.
I looked at the scene that was too ridiculous-
"You"ve gotta be kidding ..."
Despite having the wisdom of the Age of G.o.ds, I muttered in surprise.
