It was mizuame in a small cup. It came with two sticks, and if you stirred it while aerating it, it became white and fluffy and gained a nicer mouthfeel. It was gentle on a tired body, and since it also increased your flexibility, it was popular right out of the gate. But that wasn’t the only secret to its success. There seemed to be another way you could use it that wasn’t in the description.

“They happened upon it completely by chance,” Meryl told me as she used the two attached sticks to mix the soda-flavored mizuame. “A certain adventurer was eating the Neri Neri Mizuame while they were on their break.”

Sweets healed tired bodies. My business was flourishing thanks to that.

“They were a solo adventurer and carelessly sat down on a rock in the passage to eat it.”

“Whoa, even I wouldn’t do that.”

“You normally wouldn’t,” she agreed. “However, it seemed they were so exhausted that they’d neglected their safety.”

“So, they sat by the roadside and had their mizuame.”

“Yeah. But the dungeon isn’t as sweet as this candy. A bunch of Army Ants suddenly appeared and attacked them.”

Army Ants were ant monsters that were about the size of small dogs. While they were weak on their own, they attacked in groups. A solo adventurer wouldn’t stand a chance if they found themselves surrounded.

“They’d been cornered by twenty Army Ants and were bracing themself for death,” she continued.

“There’s nothing you can do when your escape route’s been cut off,” I observed.

“However, that adventurer safely escaped the enclosure.”

“How?” That was impossible if you weren’t exceptionally capable. Of course an amateur who’d let their personal safety fall by the wayside would get killed.

“Rather than attacking the adventurer, they swarmed around the Neri Neri Mizuame instead. Additionally, a frenzy broke out as they surrounded it, and they started killing each other.”

So the adventurer escaped by the skin of their teeth and watched the Army Ants kill each other from behind a rock. After finally eating up the Neri Neri Mizuame, the Army Ants withdrew, but more than ten of them had disappeared in the friendly slaughter. An Army Ant’s average drop was 200 rims. That meant this adventurer had obtained 2,400 rims without engaging in combat. That information had gradually spread and led to the current popularity boom.

“Making money while just standing there and watching sounds so nice and easy,” I commented.

“Yeah. Although that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its risks.”

“What do you mean?”

“It takes a while to get to the Army Ants’ habitat, and there have been times when they’ve noticed humans who were hiding. Using the Neri Neri Mizuame might also attract way more of them than you can manage.”

“So that’s why it’s experiencing only a slight boom.”

“That’s right,” she chirped. “I’m personally eating it because I like it, not for my hunts. Give me one more of each flavor!”

Meryl finished her snacks and headed back out to hunt. A lone young man passed by her on his way into my shop. This was my first time seeing him.
