It’s Not That I Like Using a Blunt Weapon!

Episode 23: The exact opposite of me.

As we defeat monsters and turn them into magic stones, we climb up and up the mountain.

"The magic is getting stronger."

As she breathes out, Mira says.

"That's right. It's very dark."

Mount Abel is known to be more magical as altitude rises.

Thanks to this high magic, monsters can live with less food and never come down into the world.

Now, have you noticed... I've just lied to you.

Yes, even though my blunt instrument skills have improved, I'm Hannah Donkey-donky.

Isn't that right? Is it very dark?

Yes, I'm familiar.

Do ordinary people feel it? Is the magic of the place thick or thin?

I've never felt anything like that since I was born!

I use magic in blunt weapon skills, but only with the help of God! I don't have any sense for myself.

But if you say such a thing, it's obvious that you'll be fooled.

When I was in school, I said that to suit my surroundings, yes. What I know is that it's getting old!

We decided to take a break.

Instead of lunch, Mira gives the liquid in a blue glass bottle as she bites into the meat bread she brought.

"Drink this."

If you open the cork lid, it will smell of shine and acidity. Apparently, it's not just a drink to moisturize your throat.

"What is this?

"Medicine that captures the magic around you. It makes me less tired."

"Ah, [zero potion]. Unlike ordinary potions, the water medicine itself has no magic in it -"

"That."

Zero Potion is not a magical item. It's just a mixture of plants that are easy to absorb magic, so it's like restlessness.

I've drunk it before, but it didn't work so well. On the other hand, it's not delicious...

Hmm. But, well, I can't afford to lose my favor...

I think so, I swallowed it all at once.

"Is that...?

I felt my body lighten faster than getting the bottle out of my mouth.

"Eh, what is this..."

Isn't it amazing?

I didn't think it would work. It's as if wings have grown in my legs. With this, you'll be able to take on the world's highest mountain from now on!

No, that's just too much to say.

"This mountain is powerful, so it should work well."

"No, that doesn't usually work that well, does it? Mira-san made this medicine, didn't she? Amazing."

"Mira is not very good. It was your father's recipe."

Well, I was kind of upset when I complimented you. Even if you don't have an expression, you can see that you're thinking of staying with me for a while.

However, I don't think this effect is at the recipe level.

"Um, if you don't mind, can you show me Mira-san's skill tree?

"Fine, but...."

When Mira opened the tree, it was still the dispensing tools that had the highest level.

[Pot 25] [Emulsion Bar 23] [Medicine Pot 27] [Medicine Bottle 22] [Yagen 21]...

Ah, Pharmaceutical Grinding is a tool like a disc with handles, which is used to roll the top of a dish and finely ground plants.

In general, it is said that tool levels are superior when they exceed 20. It is amazing that there are so many more than twenty people of Mira's age.

Next, review the acquisition skills for each tool skill. I noticed the skill Qualification on the tree of Pharmaceutical Research .

The contents are: "The effect of the medicine ground in the drugstore is 1.5 times greater."

Hmm, is that why the medicine worked so well?

... but will it have that effect in about 1.5 times?

"Nh...?

If you look closely, it is not only [Pharmaceutical Research Institute] that is acquiring the skills of [Qualification].

Pot Qualification The effect of the medicine mixed in the pot is 1.5 times.

[Emulsion Bar/Qualification] 1.5 times the effect of the drug mixed with the emulsion bar.

Medicine pot Qualification The effect of the medicine extracted in the medicine pot is 1.5 times.

[Bottle/Qualification] 1.5 times the effect of the medicine stored in the bottle.

"It's embarrassing to see too much....."

Mira covered her face. Even if you're embarrassed, your expression hasn't changed at all, so don't you have to hide it?

I mean, it doesn't matter!

"Mira-san's skill tree is amazing! Why do you have so many [Qualification] skills? If you multiply this, it will be a terrible thing!?

The tools used will vary depending on the medicine you make, but for example, if you use two tools, it will be about 2.3 times, if you use three, it will be about 3.4 times, if you use four... it will be about 5.1 times more effective!

Increase the level of multiple tools and combine each skill to maximize effectiveness -

Somehow, it's the opposite of me, who specializes in one tool.

However, even with compliments, Mira simply shakes her head sideways.

"Mira can't beat her father at all. So we have to do more to protect the store."

"That shop... it's an important place for Mira-san."

"Yeah, where Dad and Pooh spent a lot of time."

"What's a poo-tan?

"Stuffed toys I had when I was a kid. Just like Hannah."

Heh, cat or dog stuffed toy? Or bears?

"Yeah, pig."

"Pig! It's kind of shocking!

I don't think I'm that bad!

Your appetite might just be pig friendly, but... let it go!

"Pu-tan is cute. Mira, when I squeeze my putan, it calms down...."

That said, Mira-san turned around and hugged me, smelling the top of her head.

"Ah, um, Mira-san?

Did you use the same stuffed animal in the past...?

It's warm and soft, and it feels incredibly good, but I'm not experienced enough to be hugged by a super beauty...!

But maybe it was Mira who wasn't calm at this time, rather than me.

When you climb this far, you won't find your key tortoise mushroom. Black mushrooms grow as many as they can, but nothing shines like gold powder.

The impatience was crushing her.
