The Last Surviving Alchemist Wants to Live Quietly in the City

"Sieg, Sieg, what do we do!?

Mariella wanders around, peeking into a bag containing the price for the potion she receives from Marlow.

"Lots of gold coins! Every day! Gold coins are crappy every day!

Um, what am I gonna do with this girl? Sieg sees Mariella with a freaking expression.

The price of the potion Mariella receives is no different from the value of the sale in the capital. Given its rarity in labyrinth cities, it can be said that it has been bought and beaten at a low price, but advanced potions are not cheap in the first place. The circulation price of Teito is one large silver coin in the normal advanced potion, two large silver coins and two silver coins in the advanced detoxification potion, and the price varies depending on the rarity and price of the materials, but the value of two to three large silver coins is attached. That's 100 a day. About 30% of the cost of all the materials in the potion were purchased. In Mariella's case, I cut it by 30% because it is a laborious but inexpensive substitute.

Normally, in addition to the cost of materials, the cost of distribution, the cost of paying stores and clerks, taxes, etc. are added, but in labyrinth cities taxes are a constant amount as rent for residences, and various costs are not necessary for this transaction.

Mariella wandered in with gold coins that her family could live in every day for a year or two.

"Isn't it actually amazing how bad alchemy can be used?

"Now!?

About 10 days ago, when Marlow and Dick asked me in the middle of the night, Sieg thought, 'It's going to be troublesome'. Unusual things like spell-specific advanced potions can't come up at the right time. Besides, the opponent is a general of the Labyrinth Crusader Army. The location of Mariella will be known soon.

Siegmund thought. What's best for Mariella. How can I protect her?

There is no point in using personal force against the military. You better have more allies. So I dared to put Marlow in Mariella's workshop, who didn't realize Mariella was an alchemist. We knew that Marlow hadn't realized Mariella was an alchemist in his previous interactions. Don't let them carry potions and go to the Labyrinth Crusaders. We must make Marlow realize that he is in a position to protect Mariella, the alchemist himself.

They are tied up in a 'magic contract'. And to the Labyrinth Crusaders, no. The General himself has a twat.

Mariella doesn't make potions by itself. Marlow is not stupid. You must realize there's a drop point there.

Siegmund's thoughts therefore worked, and Mariela was able to supply potions while still living relaxed as before.

Although it was good in itself.

"Wow, Bone Knight's bone treatment has slime lysate. I have money, and I guess I'll have all kinds of slime dedicated to the lysate thoughtfully.

"You mustn't keep creatures to nagging. Let's just do what we need.

Where did the sense of crisis I just caught a glimpse of?

Sighing in dismay at Mariella's relaxation, Sieg listens.

"Mariella. What if the Labyrinth Crusaders come to the store and tell them to come with us?

"Hmm? I'll go.

Sieg is breathtaking in response to Mariela.

"…… don't you run away?

"Why? You can't, it's the army. Besides, I'm an alchemist, so I have to make potions.

But, Ma, I've been locked in a dark room and I've always hated just working and not making potions, so I'm glad I can make them here. You can pay me a lot of money. I don't know what Mr. Mallow and the others said to me, but I appreciate it.

Sieg is puzzled by Mariella's reply that she was going to go anywhere with Mariella when she said she was going to run away, but that was just then.

"It's okay, Sieg. Sieg is strong enough and has a dedicated sword, so it won't be as bad as before.

Seeing Sieg's troubled face, Mariella smiled and said so.

(Did Mariela give me this sword after she figured out the circumstances in which she was placed? Understanding what can happen to me, so that no matter what happens, I have no trouble...

Mariela's words clog Sieg's chest.

"I'm Mariella's sword. That's why I'm here all the time.

Gradually, Mariella laughed happily and said thank you.

"Then hurry up and smash Bone Knight's bones. Oops.

"It's too late, let's do it tomorrow.

Bone Knight's bones are too heavy to carry to Mariella.

Sieg wouldn't carry me, so I gave up today and Mariella pulled into the bedroom.

Gutsy, gutsy.

Simmer the appliole fruit in a large pan in the kitchen and drain the ac. Since it is a process that can be done with alchemy skills but takes time, it is being processed in the kitchen during opening time.

Sorting of Apuliole fruit while meeting regular customers in the store. This app ole has been collected by orphanage children, and it's a lot cheaper than buying it at a drug store, but it also has a mix of fruits that bugs eat and rot. Mariella has bought a large quantity because she says the cost will be turned to running the orphanage. Just sort when the store is handy.

Successfully extracted, Apuliole can also be an ingredient in potion, and even if you refine it into a cookie, it has a sticky tooth and is delicious. Today, the product is roughly shattered so that it can be used for confectionery ingredients, although the amount of time spent unplugging is slightly increased.

"Hello, Mariella.

Hermella, a merchant guild, arrived after noon. Mr. Elmera loves to use the soap from Mariella's shop and sometimes comes to buy it between busy jobs. I think I have someone with me today.

"Are you Mariella?

A girl about the same age as Mariella stood, no matter how much she said to the lady. What an adorable, doll-like girl with a muscular nose and puffy lips in her patchy eyes that seem to be strong in will. I wonder which way.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Mariella. Uh, Mr. Elmera, what about this one?

"I'm the same pharmacist as Mr. Mariella. I don't have a store, but I'm the best-selling pharmacist in the Adventurer Guild store. I'm close to my age, and I brought you in hoping you'd get to know me.

When Hermella introduced her, the beautiful girl took a beautiful curtesy (bow) and named her after her.

"My name is Caroline Agwinas. Thank you very much.

(How did this happen…….

"This place feels good as a pompous place.

"Well, good tea for beauty? Is this a new product from Merle Pharmaceutical Grass Store? I have to buy it and go home.

Miss Caroline and Mr. Elmera are having a smile and tea in the coffee corner of the store. When there are many women, the shop is more gorgeous than usual. It's nice to see your old man hanging around, but he's still no match for a pretty girl.

No, it's not. It's not about beautiful girls. It's Agwinas, Agwinas.

Such a rare name, isn't it? It's not someone else with the same last name, is it?

It's the Agwinas that manage potions in the Labyrinth City, isn't it?

Why is the young lady there drinking tea in our shop? Did you come head-on with an adversarial array? I don't know.

Caroline talks to confused Mariella.

"Mariella, is that Apuliole? Although there seems to be a mix of bad fruits.

"Oh, this was collected by the orphanage kids. Separation is a hassle, but the cost is going to be turned to run the orphanage, so I thought I'd spend it as much as possible.

"Well, that's great. You're interested in charity. Speaking of which, does Mr. Elmera's father's Seal Chamber of Commerce also support women's employment in the manufacture of ginia cream? I wish I could do something at home, but when I come with my brother...

Miss Caroline's sweet fingertips pinch the insect-eating appole fruit so that even elegant confectionery can be picked, and throw it in a pointy and trash bin.

"The Aguinas have been researching potions for generations, haven't they? Wouldn't that be great?

Mr. Elmera also keeps his gloves on, picks the fruit of the applique ole, and puts it in a sorted container while saying, "This is okay" etc.

"I've been researching it for generations and it hasn't yielded any results. Even though I think it would be better to develop better drugs, not stick to potions, how helpful it would be to crusade the labyrinth.

Hmm, sighs and sips tea, reaching for tea confectionery, not Apuliole's fruit. Separate it from the sorting container, the trash can, and the sorting container.

"So, Caroline, you're working on the medicine.

Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.

Mr. Elmera's sorting speed is tremendous. Professional.

"Yep. But I was really stuck on my own. So when I heard that a druggist from a woman close to the age had opened a store, I thought I would definitely talk to her.

Miss Caroline's beautiful girl Faith sees Mariella, who was listening to the conversation between the two as she sorted out the seemingly, seemingly pussy and Apuliole.

It's a pinch, what do I do? Help me, Zyku.

Sieg said that while he completely erased the signs, when the unsorted appole decreased, he added something new, and when he replaced garbage and sorted containers, he disappeared into the kitchen.

Right, right? Zeke is Mariella's sword, but he's not a shield, is he? I mean, if I'm not aware of it, I don't realize when I added the app ole or changed the container. It's a combination of physical enhancement and magic, isn't it? That's a full use of the technology I learned from Hargey, isn't it?

"Uh, if I may, how many?

Help is not coming. Miss Caroline replied that Mariella had given up,

"I'm happy for you. Please be your friend.

and smiled.

"Well, this wound drug doesn't leave the herb intact, it contains ingredients extracted from the herb, right?

"That's right. Dear Caroline, If the herb stays intact, it may also inhibit healing.

"Call me Cal. I don't need any more salutations. We're friends.

"That being said............

After the push, I settled down with the nickname Cal, whose nickname and nickname were messed up. If there is no other nobility, it was meant to speak normally without any respectful language. Do you mind? I don't think it's a good idea, so let's talk as carefully as possible. I think it's easier to keep in mind that even if I can't use the respectful language successfully, it's okay.

In the first place, the nobleman's maid came to the common man's shop alone and was worried that she could stay, but the man with her was waiting outside the store. I didn't think there would be any customers at all. Next time, he asked me to come into the store with him.

"It's already time for this.

After tea time, Mr Elmera and Mr Cal left with regret.

I thought you were here to explore the potion, but we only talked about the medicine until the end.

I didn't have to wonder what the Agwinas family warrant was doing here, but it was a lot of fun chatting with the near-age Cal, and Mariela who dropped them off felt very sorry for me.

"If you like, come back.

When Mariella says that,

"Yeah, I'll definitely ask!

Master Cal replied with a smile.

Thus, there was one more regular person.

I don't care, but Apuliole's sorting work went a long way.
