192 8-2 Ains Hale Memorial Festival Potion sales

At the Adventurer's Guild, I was sitting at a table near the counter, tipping a glass of your homemade honey water.

Normally it would be honey wine, but since we'll be heading to the orphanage afterwards, I couldn't get drunk, so I diluted the alcohol content of the drink considerably before adjusting the taste.

However, it looks like things are pretty busy here today.

Normally, an adventurer I know would be talking to me, or a beastly boy would come up to me with his tail clutched shyly, but today I was able to drink the honey water slowly by myself.

The reason is probably that. When I turned my head towards the board where the quests were posted, it was packed with adventurers.

You can also use it as a tool to help you get a better idea of what to expect. You're here, brother?

Oh. That's you.

This is the guy who used to destroy my potions.

Now we've become quite close, and we're good enough to drink on the sash.

If we were to do poorly, we might even be the closest of all the men in this adventurer's guild.

Uh, uh, his name.......I don't think I heard his name, but he's a good friend.

'It's rare to have one brother,'

Misela has a meeting with the guildmaster, and Aina and the others are off to accept quests. Wendy and White are staying at home and shopping.

I see. So I'm supposed to just drink mead?

I'm an idiot. It's honey water. I don't drink that much water in the daytime.

Well, that's pretty auspicious for a guy like you.

The man sat down and sat down next to me, so I took out a glass and offered him some honey water, and he smiled a small smile and tipped the glass as it was.

He smiled and tipped the cup up. It's delicious, but it's not enough without some alcohol in it.

Son of a b*tc*. Aren't you supposed to be working after this?

Yeah I'm at work. Very busy.

He's been training the newbies, but apparently he's done with it.

He's the leader of a party of two men and two women, and he's an adventurer with two couples.

Incidentally, they got married after the riot.

Of course, they had gotten close long ago by then, but he even bowed to his wife in that case, so he decided to send them a pair of rings as a congratulatory gift as a sign that there was no problem.

The concept of a wedding ring exists in this world, of course, but it's basically a custom of the nobility and upper class, and apparently not so much for adventurers.

However, I passed on the customs of my original world and had the man fetch the best ore he could prepare and make it from those materials.

''........Hmm?　What's going on?　Look at the ring, you know, I paid for it, I'm not giving it back!

I laugh at the slightly miserable appearance of the sleek adventurer who hides his wedding ring as if it were a precious gift, but I am also astonished that it's not possible.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a lot of experience in this field.

So, how are you doing?

I'm good. It's soooo good. I didn't think marriage was going to help my adventure...

The gift I gave to them was an unmistakable wedding ring.

However, the other party is an adventurer, and as long as I make it, it will naturally be something that improves their abilities.

And since it's a celebration, I made this ring in earnest.

The Golden Winged Ring: Agility medium rise, Defense medium rise, Attack medium rise, Wings specific.

The effect of the ratio wings is that the other effect increases if the opponent with one ring in two is nearby.

In other words, three abilities are greatly increased.

Of course, you don't make them for everyone, do you?

I just made this for the celebration of a friend who has become a good friend.

Incidentally, his wife also seems to be in the vanguard, and the two of them are going wild in front of him.

The other couple sometimes looked at me enviously, but I told them I would make it for them if they got the materials for the ring because it's too expensive to put a price on it.

Hehe. Every day. My wife and I look at the ring and say, "You're a survivor today. She tells me I'm lucky and that I have a good friend. Thank you so much!

'I'm tired of hearing about it......... Drunk on honey water........oh, you're drunk on your wife.......

How many times do I have to do this?

I'm beyond itchy for goodness sake, and I'm getting heartburn from feeling sweeter than honey water in my love story.

I can see that I'm on the happy road.

'So what's the wife doing?

Yeah. Now, look, we're going to go to that forum and compete for some good quests. Oh, I think I've found some good quests.

His wife seems to have come out of the crowd with a paper with quests written on it, despite the fact that she was slightly scratched and other injuries.

She looked like an experienced housewife who had acquired the things she wanted from the sale wagon and returned early.

After that, she stood in line at the reception desk, but there was a long line, and the receptionist was all alone and confused, looking like she was about to cry.

"But you look busy,

Well, that's okay. The festival will start soon. The merchants have to stock up on more than usual. That's why we've been inundated with requests.

Festival?

Oh. The biggest festival in Ainsdale.

'Heh. Sounds like fun.

I see.....

No wonder it was a festival when I thought the town was so noisy.

When I was a kid, I used to worry about what to buy with my small allowance, but now that I'm an adult, I don't go to festivals that often, and although I have the money, I don't buy that much.......

You don't go to festivals as often as you would like, and the only fireworks you see are the small ones you see out the train window.

Don't you do anything at the festival, brother?

No, I just found out about it. I think it would be interesting to try it out, but if it's such a big festival, don't you already know where the stalls are?

Well, it's a festival that even other countries and territories participate in, so of course it's obvious. So.........I was looking forward to it, since my brother's cooking is reputed to be good.

Who asked you...?

And as soon as I said it myself, I realized it was Aina and the others, but it was too late....

''I know all the guys in this adventurer's guild, you know?　Mr. Solte, Aina, and Mr. Renge have been bragging about it a lot.

'Uh ... sorry ...'

Maybe they are telling the same story over and over again.

The listeners may be getting fed up with it.

I don't mind. Everyone is looking at the three of you with a lukewarm smile. But if you feel bad about it, you'll have to listen to my love for you once in a while.

Oh....

That's where you're going to connect.

But you know what?　Even more so because when you're drunk, you tell the same story three times a day.

Because when it was bad, he started telling the same story every time a drink came in, right?

When I say I heard it, he tells me the same story, just listen, but I still have to listen quietly...?

What are you talking about?

'Ah, welcome back Mizera. Are we done talking?

Yeah. It's all over.

Misela sits down in the seat next to me with the stack of papers she received.

I'm getting used to it, but in an adventurer's guild where there are basically a lot of nasty guys, Mizzella won't leave my side.

You're not going to be able to get away with it. I'm borrowing your man.

Hello. Make sure you give it back, okay?

The two of them have gotten to know each other when they visited the Adventurer's Guild a few times.

At first they were a little scared of me because I was a guy, but each time I held their hands and they gradually got used to each other as they were together, until finally they were able to talk normally.

I feel like we got along a little faster than I did...but I'll assume it's probably just my imagination.

Well, every time I come here, this guy talks to me and he was the first to use Mizella's potion.

'By the way, what were you talking to Master about?　The receptionist's alone, and she was all teary-eyed and frazzled.

Oh, that's not very nice of you to say. But we'll just have to deliver the goods...

Hmm?　What's the problem?　I used it again today and it worked fine, okay?

It's not that, it's just...

'The Mizera potion sold and sold and is gone now, so I'm asking if you can increase the number of deliveries next time.

He said it's not enough for today's delivery.

That's why I was discussing with the master about how much more we could increase from now on.

"Yeah. Well, good for you.

Oh. My Mizera's good at what she does.

Don't do that. I know why. Didn't Monsieur have something to do with it?

No, no, that's out of the question. I really didn't do anything.

'But it would be strange if it wasn't.... There's no way you could be more successful than your husband.

That's right.

I won't be able to deliver this time.

Of course, it's not that I haven't sold any, but considering the sales trend, they don't mind if I deliver next time.

That's why the number of Mizella's deliveries will increase, though.

''Well, if it's normally an all-male adventurer's guild, and the effect remains the same, and it's made by a man or a beautiful woman, I'll take the latter.

Yeah. If I were an adventurer, I'd choose a potion made by a beautiful woman, too. Besides, mine are mass produced with forgeries (multi-copies). Misela's are carefully handcrafted, one by one. It's enough to add value.

Is that why you're doing this?

Misela listened with a gasping look on her face.

'Looks.... but I knew it, but I didn't bite the alchemist's hand...'

'What? Don't worry about the effect, it doesn't change. You may not like it, but looks are a gift. Don't worry about it, just sell as much as you can.

Looks are one business advantage.

Even a receptionist at a big company will hire someone who is good looking.

It's also a talent to give them a better impression without making them feel uncomfortable.

Well, if you don't agree with it, you'll just have to work harder to get them to recognize your skills. The amount of potions that are available to you has increased. You'll get a lot of practice.

Yes. Of course I'll continue to do my best. I failed with my accessories today..... I need to work harder.

Oh, you're making accessories too? I'm looking forward to it. But if you bring it home, you'll be fighting over it.

Maybe. All right, just let me figure out what to sell you. I'll hook you up.

Oh, God. Don't make fun of me. I'll sell it to you for the right price.

I'm not trying to be a tease.

If it's enough to fight over, it won't matter if the price goes up a little bit.

Would you prefer an auction format?

Of course, the share is Mizera's money, but I'd rather sell it at a higher price anyway.......hmm.

''Master. Don't think anything strange.

Okay.

'I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to answer you quickly enough...'

"Ha-ha-ha. Oh, do you want some honey water?

'Don't change the subject blatantly by laughing and fooling around........ I'll drink it, but.........

I offer Mizella a cup and a glass of honey water and pour it up, and she smiles and tries to fool me.

'It's tough out there, Mizzella,'

I'm starting to get used to it.

Misela held her head down and looked complicated, but I was still smiling and laughing the same way.

Eventually his wife came and took her husband away, and I kept my smile on until Aina and the others returned, and after Solte and Renge told me it was unnatural when they came back, we headed to the orphanage.
