As Iris only knows the Riley of this world, her thoughts weren't entirely wrong.
"You're going to make Riley drink beer?"
Sons first learn how to drink from their father.
That is what Iris thought was norm.
"Haha, there is no need to worry. As I've said before…you cannot get drunk by drinking the black sugar beer. There is no alcohol in the drink itself. Even children aging five drink it without a problem in Solia."
"Even five-year-olds?"
Of course.
That's how Coke should be.
A drink everyone wants on a hot day, regardless of age and gender.
It's so devilishly addictive that you could even believe it was made by the gods.
Although they say you gain weight and rot your teeth if you drink too much.
Riley loved that drink over every other food and drink in the world.
Ah, that fizziness.
"You drink it with food made from potatoes right? Or a sandwich, perhaps a burger."
"…?"
Ian looked back after Riley's question.
Because the carriage began to knock about as Ian looked back, he quickly looked forward and answered Riley's question.
"Yes, you seem to know it well?"
‘Was what he saw in his dream so clear?’
Ian scratched his head as his Young Master who had never seen black sugar beer before seemed to know about it better than he did.
"Well, it's as you say. The sweetness cannot be compared with the likes of fruit beer and it goes well with salty food. Not to mention it's quite cheap, so the children love it. It is delicious."
Even Ian who had worked as a mercenary before had tasted the drink very rarely.
The black sugar beer was something you could only obtain in the capital, Solia.
"Well, the nobles don't seem to like it very much though."
As Sera joined in on the conversation with those words, Riley quickly turned and looked at her.
"Why?!"
"It feels like peasant food."
"Dumbasses!"
Iris frowned at the unintentional swear words.
"Riley! Watch your language!"
"Ah, sorry."
Riley quickly apologised as he scratched the back of his head sheepishly and took his seat again.
"It's just a surprise that what I dreamed about actually exists here."
Black sugar beer.
A drink called Coke in his previous life.
Truth be told it wasn't simply his imagination manifesting in his dream, but something he remembered from his past.
Riley simply talked his way around it as there was no need to complicate things.
"Well, there are many things to see other than that. You can look forward to it."
"Can't you tell us more beforehand?"
As Sera promised them with a sly smile, Iris began to ask for more stories with a face full of curiosity.
"Hmm, I could tell you more…"
Sera's face became mischievous.
"But wouldn't that take the fun out of your vacation with Young Master?"
"Haha! I agree with Sera. It is always exciting to discover new things. Solia's peculiarities will make for good memories."
"Come on, are you really going to be like this?"
"I will be your guide. But, I shall only watch."
Ian looked after Riley's back, while Sera looked after Iris'.
Truthfully…
For Iris and Riley of the Iphelleta House they serve,they wanted to see the two of them wander the city with joy.
It crushed their hearts to watch them be oppressed by Lady Orelly and her two sons… So they at least wanted to show them some happiness.
