kami no shizuku #4

Miyabe woke up with hangover and surprised to see Shizuku sleeping beside her on her bed. She didn’t have any idea what on earth happened. Apparently, after the ‘training’ Miyabe wanted to drink and dragged Shizuku to her place. But when they got to her place she got into her bed and passed out due to too much wine. Shizuku instead of going home decided to stay and read books about wine but fell asleep. ^^


Over a cup of coffee Shizuku said to Miyabi that ‘You’ll be my teacher from now on.’ While drinking coffee Miyabi was so amazed by Shizuku’s keen sense of smell. He was analyzing the aroma of coffee! She then showed him her ‘training tool’ to know the smell of wines. He smelled each bottle and name them one by one. Again she was surprised of his talent and said ‘You…you’re lying right? Didn’t you say you just started drinking wine yesterday?’ Shizuku replied, ‘But my dad made me smell various things ever since when I was a kid.’ He continues telling her the things his dad made him smell. By then, Miyabe in all her amazement said to Shizuku, ‘Those are all wine aromas and bouquets. In other words, they are the smell of the fruits or the smell from the barrels. Plus, they’re the words used to describe the smell of an aged wine. Looks like your dad didn’t only teach you how to decant, but he started your wine-talent training ever since you can remember.’

With this, she then ask Shizuku to try more scents until he stops and remembers the scents of the wine he and Tomine are having a contest for the mansion. Both can’t figure the smell so they decide to meet go to the restaurant where Miyabi is working to check. But for the meantime, Shinzuku has to go to work.

Meanwhile, the ‘prince in the wine world’, Tomine Issei attended the Teilo Hotel 50th Anniversary Event. He’s in front talking about the difference between Burgundy and Bordeaux wine. All the females are swooning over him. He looks very confident.

After work, Shizuku and Miyabi met at the cellar where Miyabi works to look for the corks and empty bottles to know the kind of wine that Shizuku needs to identify. They found it, the same wine that Tomine identified, the Chateau Mouton Rothschild. But when Miyabi was trying to look for an empty bottle she broke an unopened bottle that was mixed in the emply bottles. With worried glance and sweating she said to Shizuku, ‘I think I broke a really rare and expensive wine.'
