10 people?

That's tough.

This secret farmland is still understaffed.

Although there are not enough pharmacists, it is difficult to prepare 10 people for crushing herbs because there is not enough room for other roles.

You can increase the number of non-pharmacists if you want to increase it ... but the more people you have, the easier it is to leak secrets.

Even if you are a trusted person, following, surveillance, and interrogation can cause your secrets to leak.

Neither I nor Count Meigis wants to make this a black farmland.

Therefore, we are going to increase the number of necessary people ... It is quite dangerous to increase 10 people at once.

Even if secrets will leak someday, it is not good now.

"... I want to reduce it a little more ..."

With that said, I think a bit.

The pharmacists seem to carefully grind the Bradonna grass.

I guess that's why I need to grind it carefully, but it's time-consuming.

"Isn't bradonna grass just finely ground?"

"Yes. If it is not finely crushed, it will not be possible to extract the ingredients .... I can not make it, but the number of potions I make will decrease."

So that's it.

If you don't crush them, you can't use resources effectively.

"Can I use this?"

With that said, I pick up my spare mortar and bradonna grass.

"Of course ... will you help me?"

"Ah"

With that said, I started crushing the bradonna grass in a mortar.

But ... it's surprisingly difficult.

The pharmacists crush the bradonna grass more and more with familiar hands, but even if I press the medicinal herb into the mortar, it is not easy to crush.

To make Medicine of Wisdom, you only had to grind a small amount of bradonna grass ... but if you have a large amount of bradonna grass, you will be different.

"This is pretty difficult."

"Accomplishment is a necessary task .... I mentioned earlier that 10 people are used to it ... but maybe 30 inexperienced people need it."

30 people can't do it no matter how much ...

Even loyal junior jobs are not endless.

Even if recruitment is performed in the order in which they can be trusted, as the number of people increases, the recruitment of newly hired workers becomes less reliable.

Suddenly gathering 30 people is too risky of confidential disclosure.

While thinking so, I grind the bradonna grass with an unfamiliar hand.

And ...

"Do you feel like this?"

When the archetype of Bradonna grass is gone, I show the pharmacist Bradonna grass.

Looking at it ... the pharmacist shook his head.

"It's still a bit grainy. I can't make the most of Bradonna grass ... use this."

The pharmacist gave me a finer mortar than I said.

So that's it. It takes time.

Apparently, making medicine seems profound.

"... how much medicine can I make if I use it as is?"

"Well ... about 97% of the time when it was crushed properly."

……Hmm?

Something is different from what I thought.

97 is almost everything.

"Maybe you've done this for just 3%?"

With that said, I point to a fine mortar.

After hearing my words, the pharmacist had a surprised face.

"Speaking of which ... there is a lot of bradonna grass right now. Bradonna grass was recognized as a super valuable, so ...

Apparently, the pharmacists worked on the super valuable Bradonna grass in a way that wasn't wasted.

But now there is a great deal of Bradonna grass here.

If left alone, the bradonna grass will only degrade.

The point is to fight time.

"If you're rough, you can work twice as fast!"

"Thank you for the advice!"

With that said, the pharmacists began mixing the bradonna grass more violently earlier.

If this doubles the work pace, the drug production will be 97% x 2, which is 194% higher than before.

But ... it's still slow.

Even at twice the current work pace, only a small portion of the bradonna grass that can be processed can be processed.

If it's rough, there may be a more efficient way.

(Magic Search)

I use Magic Search instead of chanting to find out the location of the surrounding monsters.

As far as I can see, there are no strong demons around here.

It would be okay if I left temporarily.

"Hey, go shopping"

I put the mortar and said, "Stand up."

"Is shopping ...?"

"Oh, come back soon, work on it."
