Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~

estions towards me.

「Err…… adding just a little more tea leaves than usual, or brewing the black tea for longer to make it taste stronger should be fine……」

Just adding a normal temperature milk into it should be fine.
The method should be to boil the tea leaves with slightly below the normal amount of water, put the milk in and lightly heat it up, but there’s a specialist on tea here, so telling him to make the black tea stronger should be better.
I can make the milk room temperature with magic, so there is no problem.

「Russel-san, how about it?」

When Rebecca-san asked again with a smile, Russel-san who heard that just making the black tea stronger would be fine acknowledged this time.

「I have kept you waiting」

We proceeded inside and took a sit on the seats until Russel-san brought a kettle with black tea and cups.

「Oh my, Russel-san.
You are short of one cup.
Quickly bring another one please」

Rebecca-san said such after seeing the cups lined up on the table.
Both I and Russel-san tilted our heads at Rebecca-san’s words.

「Since there an occasion, how about you ascertain the taste of the milk tea as well, Russel-san?」
「Eh!?」

Ohh, I see! Russel-san’s cup, huh.
Russel-san was surprised, but because I have requested something different from the usual request, I approve of her “as well” opinion.

「I want to hear an option of a tea specialist like yourself regarding the milk tea we are about to drink」
「…… So you meant it like that.
Thank you very much for your consideration, Rebecca-sama」

When Rebecca-san frankly asked Russel-san to sample the milk tea, he didn’t reject.
Thus, Russel-san brought another cup over.

「Allen and Elena, yours should be sweetened more.
Sugar…… not, shall I put some honey in for you?」
「「Un!」」

After Russel-san poured the black tea, I added room temperature milk and also added honey to the children’s cups.
Then, we proceeded to drink.

「Oh my!」
「This is-!」
「「……」」

Rebecca-san and Russel-san made surprised expression after drinking the milk tea.
Then, the two added honey and drank it sweet just like Allen and Elena.
As for Allen and Elena, both were sipping a little by little in silence.

「Oh my, oh my, it also tastes good when sweet~ Russel-san, what do you think?」
「I think that black tea as it is would be still better when wanting to feel refreshed after a meal, but adding milk during a rest, especially the sweet one would be nice as well」

It appears that milk tea suited the two’s tastes.

「「Seconds~」」

Of course, Allen and Elena who emptied their cups with smiles also were pleased with the milk tea no doubt.

「The taste becomes different depending on both tea and people, doesn’t it~ Say, Takumi-san.
Are there perhaps other ways to drink tea deliciously?」

While preparing another helping of the milk tea, Rebecca-san asked me about the tea arrangement.

「…… Let’s see~ Those I know about are fruit teas, in which you simply put fruits into the tea.
I think that both raw and dry fruits would be fine.
Also…… I have never done it myself so I am not that knowledgeable about it, but I heard of people putting things like mint and ginger in their teas」

I replied while trying to remember.
I have never actually drunk them myself, but I have heard of mint tea and ginger tea.
Also…… wasn’t there a butter tea or something? No, was this for coffee?
N~…… it would be better to not say something I’m not certain of.

「Hee~ there are many ways to drink tea, aren’t there~ But……」

Rebecca-san nodded in admiration to my words.
However――

「Takumi-san, you are saying it unconsciously, but this is considerably valuable information, you know? Therefore, you can’t say things like these so simply」
「Eh!? I, is that so?」
「That is so, gee!」

To not say information like that so easily…… I got cautioned.
Well, it’s not like Rebecca-san is angry or anything.

「Tell me, Russel-san.
What do you think about the teas Takumi-san spoke about?」
「Let’s see…… I believe there would be a need to test the kinds of tea leaves, but neither doesn’t seem to have a bad compatibility with black tea.
Therefore, as Rebecca-san said, I believe this to be a valuable information」
「See, didn’t I say so?」

Both Russel-san and Rebecca-san were of the same opinion.
However――

「However, even if I regret it now, this is not something I can keep to myself forever……」

If it’s tea arrangement, then I don’t think much will change even if the public is aware of it~
Rather, if I kept it secret, wouldn’t others swarm me with “What’s that?” questions when they see me drink it?

「Russel-san, if you’d like it to use as products in your store then please do so.
I won’t mind」
「…… Are you sure?」
「Yes」

“That’s so like Takumi-san” Rebecca-san looked at me with a lukewarm gaze, but I decided to entrust fruit teas, mint tea, and ginger tea to Russel-san.
