The clinic was marked with a "Day off" sign.
As usual, Zinger welcomed them and led them to the lounge facing the garden. Norma was just enjoying her tea. There was another cup, so I guess Zinger was with him.
"Hi. You've come a lot. What if I went back to the labyrinth?
"Oh. I've been to Ninae"
"It's best if you go home safely. It's my fault, I feel like Edda's grown all over again"
"I guess so."
"How many levels did you go?
"Forty-fifth level."
"Hmm. So that means you stepped through the labyrinth!?"
"Yes."
"Step through the Ninae Labyrinth. Besides, in these short days. I guess Edda was with us, until the end."
"This guy is a comforting member. The mobility of the party has doubled, especially since we were able to fly [recovery] away."
"Give me a minute. Is that what you do when you take Recovery from a distance?
"At the end of the day, you were flying Purification. About forty steps away."
Norma calmed herself down by sifting and shaking her neck left and right, sipping off the remaining tea.
"I don't understand anything. My head won't accept what you're talking about. Say it again. So you took the recovery a few steps away from him."
"Edda. Let him see."
"Yeah."
Edda deliberately opened the door and went out into the hallway.
"Recovery."
Norma's whole body was wrapped in soft green light.
Norma closes her eyes comfortably and relaxes herself to the healing that hits her body.
"Instead of doing a prep chant, I activated [Recovery] with no waiting time at all, and the magic is reaching me so far away. No, no, when I'm with you guys, I feel like everything I've been studying is going to collapse and disappear."
"I have tea in. Have a seat, Mr. Eda."
"Oh, thank you"
Edda and Zinger also sat on the couch, and the four rinsed their warm tea.
"Edda, your recovery has been working fast for a long time, but the speed I just showed you is unusual. How can it be activated so fast?
"'Cause in the labyrinth, you have to be fast."
"How did you practice [recovering] from a distance?
"Huh? Because I can fly sleep now, I wonder if I can fly recovery too. I tried and I could do it."
"My head hurts. Am I the only one who doesn't think the conversation is over?"
"As for Edda, I'm answering it right."
"I see, you're right. I guess so. Ahhhhh. It's a historic thing, but this is! Unfortunately, no one will believe it. They either ignore it with cold eyes, or they often tell me to actually show it to them. But you can't expose Edda to the public. I'm so sorry."
"A souvenir."
"Huh? What is this bag? Ah. It's a little red potion. So many. This."
"A souvenir."
"I never had a souvenir for Jericho."
"Don't say that."
"No! No! I can't take this expensive stuff. Let me pay for it. Fortunately, thanks to you guys, I can afford the cash now. Even so, I can only buy two or three."
"Yeah? The little red potion is one big silver coin for the standard price, so it's supposed to be five silver coins for half the price if the adventurer sells it to the store?
"No, no. That's in a labyrinth city, and we're talking about shops, adventurers' associations and adventurers' interactions, right? Outside of the Labyrinth City, it costs many, many tens of times more."
"That's crazy. You make a request to the association, one bronze adventurer goes to Gorbull, buys one small red potion and goes home. If the fee is three pieces of silver, and thirteen pieces of silver coins are available. There's no way it's gonna double."
"That's not going to happen, Lecan. The potion is that supply has not kept pace with demand at all in any labyrinth. And adventurer protection is a priority in every labyrinth city. Adventurers who do not dive into the labyrinth will be mired, and the town they send will be sanctioned"
Even so, Lecan thought, but immediately denied the idea, that an adventurer actually diving into the labyrinth would not be able to stop selling potions outside of the labyrinth city.
(I guess the one diving in the labyrinth rarely sells red potion)
As long as you have (recovery) like Lecan, the red potion is the lifeline.
"Of course, sometimes you happen to get it cheap. But it will be used immediately, or it will be expensive to resell repeatedly. Few people sell silver coins that they know they will buy even if they send out big gold coins. If a nobleman or a rich man tries to get a red potion when he wants it, he's going to have to pay extra."
"Right. Anyway, that potion is a souvenir for you. What you taught me is not comparable to anything like that. Please take it."
In fact, the ten small red potions were bought at Ninae's guild. Not a single small red potion was obtained in this exploration. In any case, there wasn't enough potion, so I bought a large red potion from the Adventurers Association, and a small red potion for souvenirs. However, even then, I ordered thirty small red potions, and this is all I was told to give me a break, and they only sold me ten.
"Right. Thank you, Lecan. I'm sure this potion will help."
