191 8-1 Ains Hale Memorial Festival Disciple and Teacher

A gurgling, grinding herb that makes a gurgling sound.

The oozing extracts are poured with water to increase the crustiness while pouring magic power into it, promoting change and creating a recovery potion.

Mizella takes a breath when she sees it completed with a faint light and looks back to me behind her.

So it seems. But you're a lot more stable than you were at first.

The first few days after I acquired the skill, it was unsteady and only 10%-20%, but lately it's been stable.

For the past few days, I've decided to have her make 10 recovery potions to check every day.

The skill was an acquired mizela, but even if the amount of magic, polish, etc. was perfect, it could still fail.

Then the success rate became stable at 3 out of 10 even when it was in perfect condition.

But if you make it, it's 100 percent, right?　You still have a long way to go....

'It's a different level, and that's not an option. Besides, even if we fail, we can use this one, so why not?

Instead of diluting it with water, this liquid with failed medicinal herb extracts dissolved in it can give you a + effect or increase your success rate, so it doesn't matter if it fails.

''Alchemists are so wasteful and convenient.

It's a good job, right?　Besides, as long as there are adventurers, soldiers, and demons, the demand won't go away. Other than that, even ordinary households need recovery potions, and it's great that they're stable.

''Well........the rest depends on the magic power....... Are you going again today?

Yeah. And Mizera.

I know, I know.... I want to see how the users react and I don't want anything to happen to them.

I wouldn't worry about it. I don't have a problem with the appraisal of the effects.

'Yes but I still worry about it.

I can't say I'm like anyone else, but I'm a worrier.

I'm currently starting to distribute Mizera's potions to the Adventurer's Guild, but it seems that I'm worried about whether they are working properly.

I've asked the guild master and adventurers about how they feel about it, and they say there's no problem, and we use appraisals to check the effectiveness of our products, but they seem to be worried about it.

''Then let's continue to increase our deliveries and increase our skill level.

Yes. Please, doctor.

I'm going to teach her alchemy today as well.

I've been teaching Mizera to teach her alchemy on a daily basis.

They say to strike while the iron is hot, but Misela's motivation is still hotter than ever.

Seeing her never give up even if she keeps failing, I can't help but think that I'm going to do my best too.

Now, once Mizella has finished making enough potions to distribute to the Adventurer's Guild, I'll take out the iron ore to practice making accessories.

''Yes ... just take your time.''

This time, I will start with the decomposition of iron ore.

I also started from this point, and the basics of smelting are "decomposition", "synthesis" and "reconstruction", so I can't neglect the basics.

If I succeeded in decomposition, the next step is to make an ingot.

If we can do this, we can make an easy-to-handle lump of iron from iron ore.

Even if the metal is changed, what you do is the same, and it's also the simplest exercise in 'reconstruction'.

Now what do you think?

Mizella let go of her hand and there was a nice iron bar on the desk.

'Yeah. It's good work. I heard you can sell this to the Blacksmith's Guild if you want to sell it, so it's useful to keep that in mind.'

Apparently...

No, because it's more efficient to make accessories...

I see. So it seems.

It requires little effort, but it is a thin profit margin.

If that's the case, selling accessories would be far more profitable.

Of course, if the Blacksmiths Guild asks the Alchemists Guild to make them, they can be told to make them from Rainrich.

''Yes. Well then, that's our goal for today.''

'A twisted iron necklace.... I hope I can do it today...

You have until noon. We'll have to take our time and learn the forms first.

What you need for alchemy is magic and image.

First of all, I'll let you touch the 'twisted iron necklace' carefully to get a good image of it.

''Make sure the stopper is secure too.''

Yes, sir.

Misela repeatedly put the stops on and off, imprinting the structure firmly in her mind.

I took plenty of time to open my eyes and concentrate on the feel, weight, and coldness of the stoppers when I put them on, as well as the twists and turns.

In the meantime, I prepare a cup of tea mixed with a little magic potion.

I'm careful not to make too much noise, but there's a small clinking sound of the tea bowl.

Still, Misela is single-mindedly focused on the necklace in front of her without losing her concentration.

'It's about time,'

Yes. Well then ... 'Alchemy'.

The ingot in front of me melts into a new shape.

The design looks like a long, thin, and twisted groove running around the edge.

The speed of the design was slow, but I could see that it was beautifully uniform and firmly imaged.

And..........

''So, you're going to the Adventurer's Guild with Mizella again today, right?

Yeah. Will Sorte and the others start in the afternoon?

Yeah. Then I'll come with you.

While having lunch, each of us talked about our plans for the day, and after lunch we all took a break and had a cup of tea before leaving slowly.

Wendy and White will go shopping, and we will head to the Adventurer's Guild with three members of the Red Line.

''Mizera's potions are well received.

'Well...?　I wonder if there's a problem or something...?

We'll be fine!　We've used it ourselves, but the effect is the same as my husband's.

The two of them encourage a worried Miserra in the background.

'Does it bother you?　It's okay. I'm not lying, and it's actually selling.

Sorte, who is walking beside me, smiles and talks to me, watching my face.

I know. I've heard about how well they're selling, and I use appraisals too, so I'm not worried about it.

Yeah?　I've been keeping up with Mizella lately, and I wondered if the Worried Lord cared.

Hmm?　Are you lonely?

I'll miss you... and I'll miss you...

'Well, we're two people now, so be honest and spoil it for me.

Yes. I'll do that.

Solte takes my hand and intertwines our fingers.

I'm trying to prevent my cheeks from loosening up, whether they move naturally or not, but unfortunately I'm not preventing it.

'You're so satisfied with this kind of thing you're a guilty man.

You're a good woman. I appreciate it.

"...already. You think that's a compliment, don't you?

The fact of the matter is, I don't get to spend much time with you in the mornings with Mizera, in the afternoon with work and training, and at night with sleep... because I don't get to spend much time with you these days with the rest of your training.

Maybe it's because I'm so serious when I'm training, but it's not easy to be in this kind of atmosphere.

''Keep it down over there! Hey, we're short on wood.　Then go get it! You go!　You'll see, I can't keep my hands off it!

........I guess when people are enjoying a good vibe.

Today, the city is noisier than ever.

'What is it?　Everyone seems to be busy, but...

Yeah, it's just--

"Sorte is a master at slipping out..... Whenever I notice you, you're standing next to your husband.

"...Oh my God, is that a little late for that?　I'm a wolf and I'm greedy for opportunity.

I'm a wolf myself, you know. So, let's have a turf war, shall we?

Hey, hey, in the city, I thought, and then Aina takes my free hand and hugs my arm so that I can hold her.

''Huh. I guess it's a treat.

Aina can't get out of it either, you know...

You can have it. But I'm not giving up this one.

I'm going to say brute force, but that's okay. Neither one of you seems to have noticed.

Hmm?

You didn't notice? Notice what?

I don't really understand it either....

''Yes, my lord. I have a place we all need to stop by after we go to the Adventurer's Guild today, if that's okay with you?

Everyone?　That's a rare request from Aina. I don't mind.

Thank you. I know it's not that big of a request but it's a bit of a big deal.

Oh, an orphanage?

'Yes. Well, I've been asked to eat for a little while, since the sisters aren't here today...

When you say orphanage, you mean the orphanage that Aina is donating to.

Here in Ains Hale, when I say orphanage, there's an orphanage in one of the biggest buildings.

Now, I've seen it every now and then, but it's a school!　It's so big and has many children.

Therefore, there is a lot of support from the government, but the amount of money that can be helped is limited, and even if the maximum amount is not enough, it is often asked for donations.

It seems that Aina donates a lot of money to the orphanage for those children who have no one to look after them.

Even though she's an A-ranked adventurer, I heard that the reason she couldn't pay her debt to me was because she had just donated a large sum of money to the orphanage.

Even in the relatively peaceful Ains Hale, many of them have just drifted away, and many children are abandoned there.

Some of them are left in the orphanage only during the day, while their parents go to work.

It's a kind of day care center, but some parents just disappear, or so the story goes....

I can't help but think that I'd rather be a slave than throw away.......but it seems that there are advantages and disadvantages to both the slave and the orphanage.

And slaves are like a life that is sadly decided if you pull the master of hazing.

I guess some parents think it's better for their children to grow up as orphans in a stable city then to grow up as orphans in a stable city.

I don't know and don't want to know how it feels to let go of someone you love, but.......

Fortunately, the children of Ains Hale seem to be growing up healthy and straight.

Just because sometimes Aina goes to teach them swordsmanship and other things, or maybe it's because they're going to be adventurers at their place of employment!　I heard that a lot of kids have been asking "What's the problem?

Well....then, I'll give you some sweets as a gift.

Thank you, but if you can, please use store-bought sweets. With my lord's sweets, well my taste buds will be so discerning that I won't be able to enjoy my usual meals as well...

'Well.......... The Master's sweets are delicious.........

No, because Mizella's not just fat, she's still too thin, right?

I'm not skinny, but I'm still skinny, like my neckline and all that, of course.

Whenever you work hard for alchemy, the reward for your hard work is always, "I want porridge," and you can make it more luxurious.

We've been saving up a lot of miso from the "pocket money" stamp, and we've also been able to afford soy sauce, so we've only spent a little on rice.
