Chapter 8: Potion Making is an Alchemist’s Work Too? Part 1

At Bobon-san’s place, after having had difficulty leveling up Blacksmith and making the short sword, I replaced the head of the spear I always use to magic steel.

「Vanga-san, since you are a hunter, you have potions in case of an emergency, correct? Pardon me, but would it be alright to show it to me?」

「Yep, there’s nothing but basic grade potions at my house though.」

「That is more than enough.」

I decided to try my hands on potion production, and somehow use the large quantities of medicinal plants in my item box. And there it hit me, “If I use Appraisal on a genuine article, I could figure out the recipe, right?”. And so, since Vanga-san might have some, I intruded at his house.

Basic Heal Potion

Quality: Normal Grade

Hirukuku Grass + Water ( 2 : 8 )

Heal Potion produced by Pharmacist

Un, it looks like I’ll manage somehow.

「Thank you very much.」

「Sure. If you make potions, sell me some.」

「Yes, please wait without expectations.」

Upon returning home, I sat in front of the work bench and just when I was about to make potions, I realized I forgot something important.

「............ I don’t have bottles to pour the potions into.」

Eventually, I ended up going to the river near the village to collect sand.

The river is approximately a 30 minute walk from the village; I went to collect sand there, alone; In order to guarantee a large amount of glass bottles for the future, I steadily shovelled sand into the Item Box.

「I wonder if it would be better to make this without a furnace.」

As an experiment, I tried extracting, heating, and shaping the silica sand.

My magic power whittled away, but it doesn’t seem impossible.

Eventually returning to my house, I relied on my magic power to make all the glass bottles. In doing so, I know my magic power would increase, therefore I chose to make it with magic as training.

I continued to make glass bottles even as I ate lunch from Martha-san, and was able to make 500 potion bottles.

The day after, I heard from Vanga-san that there was a cork-like wood that could serve as a bottle cap, so I took the opportunity of joining him for his hunt.

In the forest, walking behind Vanga-san who erased his presence, I too endeavored to erase my presence while simultaneously searching for enemies.

〈The 「Stealth」 Skill has been obtained〉

〈The 「Presence Detection」 Skill has leveled up〉〉

〈The 「Enemy Search」 Skill has leveled up〉

「Shh, it’s a Blade Deer. Takumi, after I shoot an arrow, you strike.」

「Understood.」

What Vanga-san spotted was a large deer monster with sharp edged tool-like horn. Since it was just eating the bait, it hasn’t noticed us yet.

Shu

I leaped out with spear in hand before checking where the arrow Vanga-san shot went. Not deviating from where he aimed, the arrow Vanga-san fired pierced the Blade Deer’s neck, the creature then flinched, and I charged, pushing out my spear.

「Guh!」
