The Last Surviving Alchemist Wants to Live Quietly in the City

"Kansai!

Um, and Mariella makes a stretch. After lunch, he created advanced potions and advanced detoxification potions, some potions and prototypes for himself, and stamped them with a magic formation of seals and anti-degradation. I kind of knocked it off, so I even made a stamp for the potions label, and I just finished putting all the labels on it. It's Mariella's bad habit to be too obsessed. I've worked all the time.

"One when I'm tired! Improved! Delicious potion!

Drink up what was just a sweet addition to the lower potion.

"Guh, whoa, whoa. Not at all!!!

I mixed the sweet, easy to drink potion with the paste of dried apricots bought in the stalls and sweet fruits collected yesterday in the woods, but after a sweet drink of rusty fruit juice, fruit acne, tannins and herbal bitterness spread to my mouth and tangled in my throat. It's more unpleasant than potion healing.

"Go ahead."

At some point Sieg, who came back, offered me tea. This one is delicious. This' tasty potion 'was a failure, but next time. Mariella, who was unpunished, kept the potion in the wine box that Siege had given the master while she was having a little tea, cleaning up the ingredients and equipment.

I heard Deputy Marlow and the others were arriving, and I took (Zeke) the wine box with the potion and headed to Deputy Marlow's room. Inside, Captain Dick and Deputy Marlow were waiting, and when I gave them the box with the potion, they started checking the contents with the magic props for the potion appraisal.

Since potions deteriorate over time, these magic props for appraisal are often installed in tool stores that sell potions. It is simple enough to know the general type and degree of degradation, and it is not a very expensive tool.

"This is great. It's as low as freshly made.

Deputy Marlow speaks up in admiration.

(Even so. Because I just finished it.

After checking all the potions, Deputy Marlow brought the price and a few pieces of writing onto the tray.

"Intermediate rank or lower costs, as well as receipts and receipts, advanced rank deposits.

For less than or equal to the intermediate rank, 12 gold coins and 6 large silver coins. It's a hell of a lot of money for Mariela. Sign the document as directed. I mean, aren't these documents prepared by Mariella? I don't know how to make a good deal, so even if they tell me to make it, I'm in trouble. She said, "Never mind," so I decided to be thankful and sweet.

"We will give you the price of the advanced rank after receiving it from the other party. By the way, really, can I give it away cheap?

Lieutenant Mallow will be pressing for precautions. This price is below the intermediate rank. Depending on where you sell it and how you sell it, the advanced rank that hasn't been on the market in 10 years will cost you a hell of a lot.

"If you will use it properly, fine. Tell them to buy it again.

As for Mariella, she has no problems at all, even at the same price as the intermediate rank. If it's too expensive, it hurts my conscience. The price is a bit high, so it would be appreciated if you bought a lot.

"Also? I wonder how much you can give me.

I'll make you one! And I almost answered, "It's a lot." Answer with a smile. No, this still sounds stupid enough.

Making bottles is a pain in the ass, but the ingredients in the potion are easy to get. Like a garc herb shop, I want to set up a workshop filled with a wide variety of materials on the shelf and try to practice it. I'm excited just to imagine.

You won't be able to open a potion store on your own, but based on the gold coins you received today, opening a pharmacy seems fun.

"I want to open a pharmacy," he replied to Deputy Marlow's question about what to do now.

"Then you should go to the Merchant Guild. If you register as a resident as a pharmacist, you can mediate your store or home.

I heard good information. Let's go early tomorrow.

"It was a good deal. Quickly Kanpa..." I'll go deliver the potion. "... next time!

(Captain Dick, I thought I slowly opened my mouth. Is that Sole?

Big Captain Dick walked out with a box of potions and followed Deputy Marlow.

"To Mr. Sieg, I have an Ohanashi.

After dinner, Mariella returned to the room and sat Sieg down in a chair to cut the story out.

"Labyrinth cities have more slaves than other cities, but after all, they say it's rare to have a mediocre little girl like me with them.

The labyrinth city is an island on land held back by rugged mountain ranges and demonic forests. There is very little movement of ordinary people. Crusades are carried out regularly to prevent a flood of labyrinths (stampede), each time fewer lives are lost.

Births of prostitutes and slaves are encouraged, and children born are raised in orphanages, but most of them without a back shield earn their living as adventurers or soldiers after adulthood. Whichever way you choose, you will become a crusader to prevent a flood (stampede) of demons from the Devil's Forest or Labyrinth.

In addition to the troops being dispatched from the border ambassadors who have jurisdiction over the Labyrinth City, the Imperial Adventurer Guild has also forced the dispatch of advanced adventurers, but the combination of these is not enough to contain the Labyrinth and Demon Forest.

It is also important to secure food, because the necessary quantities cannot be produced solely within the walls, so there is also a barn zone outside the walls where demons appear. The guards are conducting regular rounds and exterminating demons, but there are no ordinary citizens who want to farm in such a dangerous place.

To make up for these shortages of manpower, slaves are sent to the Labyrinth City from all over the Empire. Although the proportion of slaves is greater within the empire, no, than in any town in a neighbouring country, many of the slaves are 'without human rights' such as criminal slaves and lifelong slaves because they are places with an extremely high chance of dying.

Naturally, their consciousness and character are low and cannot be seen by the general public. Together, they hold most of the official positions, such as the Food Production Authority, the Crusader Army, and the Mine, under the command of Professionals (Skilled), who are highly skilled in management supervision.

A very small number of renewable "excellent" people are "traded" in the private sector, but they do not have to go as far as "professional (skilled)" to need supervisors. Therefore, large shops, etc. that require multiple labor forces, shops that do "night opponents", and aristocratic mansions that collect slaves as "entertainment" are the majority of them, and small and medium-sized stores employ the general public who carry out their work even without the eyes of surveillance. Owning a slave individually is enough for advanced adventurers to take him as a luggage holder, something they don't see much of.

First of all, there is no such thing as having a daughter like Mariela, who seems to be everywhere, with slaves.

Mr. Amber said,

"Even though it's rare for a girl to come from outside the labyrinth city, isn't Zeke a pretty good guy?

I can't believe a man like that would let me live with him. You're wondering what kind of relationship it is.

That's why.

Even though there is a secret that potions can be created, it is very difficult to stand out.

"And by saying, I want Sieg to be treated normally from now on. And then I'm going to decide on the settings for the two of you.

Mariella proclaims! I don't accept objections.

"Is that a setting..."

"Yes! From beside what I said. Respect forbidden!

About me, too, in Mariella! You can't wear "Dear" or anything!

I'm from a small village by the Devil's Forest, and I wonder if you're a brother or sister or something?

"Brothers and sisters......, they don't look alike, do they?

"Ugh……. Are you familiar with siblings or something?

"Are you a child tame living with…" Sieg, salute Kinshi… "That's

Isn't it between lovers? Mariella? "

"Guuuuuu!"

So, what are you talking about, Mr. Sieg? Calling at this time?

Sieg's mouth is loose.

Oh, you're making fun of me! Think you're a little older!

"I'm a sibling childhood trainer -! All right? Sieg!

Mariela turned bright red and said back, Sieg laughed.

"Okay, ma li e la"

I said. Why, name (Mariella).

With Sieg from a despicable village by the Devil's Forest, Mariella decided that she was from the same village.

"I didn't know you were coming all the way to the labyrinth city, chasing grey, slave-dropped childhood tames, wasps, mariellas, seriously good ones!

Something seems to be the protagonist! The adventure is about to begin! I can't fight, though.

When I said that thinking it was a nice setup, Zeke blew it off.

I've never seen Sieg laugh before. Sounds fun and above all.

I don't think it's going to fall to my heart, so I said, "I'm going to take a bath, go to the dining room!" and threw him out. Because I am familiar with children, when I take a bath, it is natural to take off my seat. Yeah. It's not weird, is it?

The next morning.

"Morning, Mariella." "Morning, Zeke."

The day began with a natural greeting.

Go down to the dining room and ask Emily for breakfast. Emily today is splitting her hair in two and coming in a high head position. I guess I tied it myself, my hair is shattered, and the height of the knot is subtly shifted from left to right. When I tied you back together, I said, "Thanks -! Thank you so much!" He said.

Your father (master of the inn) is up until dawn when Amber and the others finish their work, so Emily wakes up early in the morning by herself and prepares breakfast for the guests. How clever she is to say she is 10 years old.

"I have some bad customers, so they say they're awake until everyone's done with their work. Thanks to your father, he said everyone was safe! So good luck with Emily!

I still can't tie my hair well. Saying so, I ran to the kitchen.

What a great boy. And if I was impressed, Lynx woke up. My head is asleep and blurry.

"Emily, me too, Messy. Lots of them.

Shout that out to the kitchen and sit in Mariella's seat. She is scratching her stomach with a big yawn. It's a good year, so you need to be a little more serious.

"Yesterday, when I was seeing the captains, it was late.

He must have been escorting the potion.

While eating breakfast, ask what the Black Iron Transport team is doing while they are in the labyrinth city.

The day after arrival, it was a basic holiday, to repair the armored carriage and rest for ourselves and the Raptors, but on the second and third day, they were in two groups to purchase the goods to be transported to the Imperial City and to negotiate the next item to be loaded. Today, the fourth day, they said, they would prepare for the purchase and departure of food and other items, and leave for the Imperial City again early tomorrow morning.

I spent three days running through the Devil's Forest, four days through the forest to the Imperial City. If you spend 4 days resting and purchasing in the Imperial City, go through the Devil's Forest again to the Labyrinth City. Will I be back at sundown in 18 days?

"That's tough. Come back safely.

"Oops. But this time, we have a 'secret weapon', so if we do well, we'll be back at sundown in 16 days.

Lynx told me in a whisper so I couldn't hear him around. When Mariella and the others told him they were going to open a 'pharmacy',

"When I get home, I'll go play. Wait a minute.

That's what I said and I was laughing.

At the break up, for some reason, Lynx was around Sieg's chest, fisting 'Don'. Sieg looked at Lynx and was nodding. Nah. What is it? I'm wondering what kind of relationship this is. 'Is that him? Mariella slipped her neck.
