When I noticed, the position of the sun has dropped considerably.

Soon the sun will turn red and dusk will envelop the town of Zoltan.

We were sitting across the table and chatting continually.

"Hey, red"

"What a lit"

Litt is looking into my eyes.

"I wish I could work in this shop too"

"e?"

Unexpectedly, a silly voice came out. I didn't expect that word.

"Red & Lit's herbal shop. Don't you think the name is good too?"

"Wait a minute, you're a B-rank adventurer with only two Zoltans."

"The adventurer retires"

"No, wait, wait!"

What is Litt saying?

You want to work in a shop where no customers come from lunch to evening.

"As you can see, this store has just opened and is not thriving. I can't afford to hire people."

"But while you're going to pick medicinal herbs, who is going to keep a shop? In the meantime, closing the shop is inevitable."

"Ugh, well, surely, but in the first place there are customers."

"Every customer has just opened a store. It's going to increase in the future.

"Mum?"

With a silly face, Litt started walking in my store.

"One storefront, display shelves on both sides.

"Because only the common herbs are on display, the few and the ones that care about storage are kept in storage or planted in the garden."

"The work area is large enough, so we can add two more pharmacists."

"It's expensive to hire a technician, not for a while."

"The rest is the kitchen, the washroom, the bedroom, the living room we were talking about just a while ago. Not a good shop."

"right?"

Litt nodded, Litt whispered.

He seems to be calculating when he is listening.

"Given the size of Zoltan's economy and Red's skills, monthly income is about 180 peril in silver, minus expenses, equipment and maintenance and taxes."

"What!? ... Is that something?"

It is about 100 peril just by having the adventurer's guild buy the medicinal herb collected over 2 days.

It says the store can only get 180 peril a month.

"Sorry, I'll get herbs, so I don't need any ingredients."

"Herbs do not consume so much. Unlike a guild that sells to a pharmacy, if you sell it to a customer or a doctor, it will take some time for the herbs to sell out. Maybe once a month. I think it's enough to go get it. ''

"Gummup"

Can't sell that much?

Because medicinal herbs are used in various places.

"In the first place, Red may soon become a knight, and after that he may adventure and forget with the brave, but the average monthly living cost of ordinary people is about 30 peril."

"Yeah, I know it ..."

"A normal pharmacy would be prosperous if they could make 150 peril a month. If I could say 180 peril, if I was told by the local people, I could calculate the potential of this shop. "

Herbs purchased by the adventurer's guild are sold to drugstores and peddlers at higher prices.

I thought it would be more profitable to sell it directly on my own, but if you really think about it, it always sells because the adventurer's guild has that much sales.

In a private store, it takes time to sell out the medicine, even if it is stockpiled.

I thought it would be good if I opened the store, but it might have been sweet.

"But is it enough to pay 30 peril for living?"

As Litt said, I quickly became a knight, successfully progressing to get the title of Deputy Commander of the Knights of Bahamut.

The cost of living at that time was about 3000 peril. He was treated like a senior nobleman. I lived in a residence on the court yard, and some maids took care of my surroundings.

While traveling with Rooty, he made tens of thousands of perils such as loot from battles with the Demon King's army and dungeon treasures, expensive elixirs, and weapons made of rare ores. It was a situation.

I may be a little paralyzed with my sense of money.

"Yeah ... I'm not even sure."

"I'm still a princess, I was studying a lot at the court, and when I was out, I was a bouncer at various shops, right? I was listening. "

Turn your chest away I laughed unexpectedly, reminding me of my winning lit when I met him.

"And yes, I'd like to see if there was something else that wasn't there, but ... Red, who isn't a full-time pharmacist, might have a recipe for it ..."

"Hmm, then it's probably unusual."

"Eh, is there?"

In fact, skills are not relevant to the development of recipes. Recipes are purely a matter of knowledge, and skills are only relevant when formulating the medicine.

However, if you find a useful recipe, you will not be able to actually complete it without the skills corresponding to the compounding level, so in reality, unless you have the protection of an alchemist or pharmacist, It is common not to develop compound recipes.

But I've always been searching for what I can do without my unique skills. And on the journey, I had the opportunity to touch on a wealth of knowledge, from contemporary, past, and ancient Elven era literature.

With just the knowledge of compounding, even professional alchemists will not lose. I wouldn't say that talking to someone would be tedious.

"It was in the storage room."

Even with enough knowledge, there are still limited medicines that can be made without specific skills. The ancient elves did not even study formulations that required no skill. So what I make is, after all, original. Applying knowledge that spans the ages, he has created something that can only be made with general-purpose elementary compounding skills.

I and Litt have moved to storage.

"These two original drugs can be made with Zoltan."

What I took out of the drawer were the gray pills in a cheap potion bottle and the pills just above the little finger.

"What is the effect?"

"This potion is a potion that names and increases."

"Hey, a potion that increases?"

"Um, this is a medicine that increases the original potion to 5 by mixing it 5 times better with ready-made magic potions and distributing it evenly."

A magic potion is not a herb but a potion that contains magic. Whiteberries are often used as a catalyst in this magic potion.

Whiteberries themselves have no special effect on the human body, but they can contain magic using liquids extracted from whiteberries and other materials, depending on the magic you want to store. Drinking a magic potion has the same effect as casting a magic.

However, potion magic is usually treated and assisted because it is ineffective unless you drink it. Even if the attack magic is changed to a magic potion, it will have no effect unless the opponent drinks it.

However, the price of the magic potion is very expensive, a level 1 recovery magic, and the cure potion circulating in any town is 50 peril, which is an emergency if there is a danger to the general public and low-ranking mercenaries and guards Used as a medicine.

If you become an adventurer with a rank of C or higher, you will have to take on this medicine at the end of the battle and take on the formidable enemy.

"The material cost of the rising potion is about 5 perils. If I sell it ... I'm thinking of selling it for 4 times, about 20 perils. I think that I can make 4 extra cure potions with a market price of 750 perils If you sell it, uh, I think ... but ... "

Litt gazes at the potion with a difficult face, holding the rising potion in his hand.

Well, I thought this was a breakthrough. I used to add extra cure potions and magic power potions even when I was traveling, and Ales used it without complaining.

"I can't sell this ..."

"It's a lie ... what's wrong?"

I dropped my shoulder. No, I was confident, but no way.

"Bad and nothing, if you sell this, the value of the potion will fluctuate greatly! It's only a fifth of the way you buy!"

"But it's okay because I can only make it."

"It's a big problem just because of this potion .... If you put it on the market, you're not an adventurer guild, a merchant guild, a magician guild, a holy church, and maybe a bandit guild."

I tried to laugh, but Litt's face doesn't seem to be a joke.

"Because it's a potion? It's not a magic item with over 10,000 perils."

"These magic items are made-to-order items. The main factor affecting economic activity is cheap and potions that anyone can use."

Litt, staring at my troubled face, suddenly loosened her eyes.

“Pakukuku …… hahahaha!”

Suddenly laughing out loud, banging my back.

I'm just stunned without understanding.

"I'm sorry, but I was relieved."

"relief?"

"I thought I was a great person, you're always calm, you can do a lot of things, and you'll cut into a terrible battle with the Demon Army with a simple face ... When I thought it was no use, it appeared like lightning and helped me ... I felt like a far away person. "

"It's not that big."

"No, Red, you're a huge person, this potion, if you put it in the right stages, saves a lot of people and contributes to the fight against the Demon King. But you don't know No, I didn't even think so long ago.

Litt was laughing, even with tears, about what was so interesting.

I didn't think Litt had beautified me so much. Already by the time I met Litt, I was less capable of fighting than my peers. Even after helping Litt, he was terribly angry at Ales and Danang.

"Is it disillusioned?"

"No, I wanted to be more together."

Litt, who stops laughing, lifts her bandana with her finger, hiding her mouth and looking away. My heart or ears are red.

I also looked away from her, and I was wondering what to say, "Oh, uh," and scratched my back.

"Oh, yeah, yes, I don't seem to be able to do business alone."

Yes, admit. I don't feel like her favors. Rather, I am surprisingly happy.

I think that's because Litt was a friend when I was Gideon. For me who was denied my value and was kicked out of the party of the trip, what Litt would approve of me was that ... It made me think it wasn't meaningful.

"I don't mind when I have time ... but I can't pay a lot for my salary ... I'm glad if I could help you."

"Yup!"

Litt laughed at this time instead of hiding his mouth with his neck bandana.
