The Novice Alchemist’s Store

As he roared with a difficult face, Madison, who had finished giving instructions to the soldiers, lowered his head deeply to me.

"Miss, thank you. Now we're all going home safely.... the question is what happens when I get back."

"Let's talk about it on the way home. The priority now is to get home safely. Mt. Winter will never be despised."

"Absolutely. That's the cost of treatment....."

"That's right...."

The cost of treatment in such cases is very difficult.

For example, if an injured or sick person comes to the store and says, "Please treat me."

In this case, you can charge the usual treatment cost and medication cost.

But if not.

If it's the same party, of course, you won't be charged for the treatment, and even if you use alchemy (potions), it's normal to calculate the price as usual or cheap, and divide the cost by half for everyone.

It's less burdensome than usual, so it's not much of a problem.

What happens if someone happens to ask me for medical treatment?

I want to help you humanely, but the top priority is our people.

If you consume magic and medicine poorly, it will interfere with your treatment in the unlikely event, and the medicines you choose take into account the amount of luggage you can carry and the risks.

Getting medicine in town is worth a whole different thing.

Therefore, depending on the situation, treatment may be refused, and even if it is treated, it is correct to charge a high amount for both the cost of treatment and the cost of medicine.

--That's right, but most of these people don't have enough money to pay for it.

Instead, if you are a collector, you will be paid with the collected goods, or if you are a merchant, you will be paid with the goods in kind, but in this case neither.

"If you have money, you'll pay for it... but you don't have it, right?

"I'm sorry. When I get home, I have a little bit of storage, but when I'm asked if it's enough forehead...."

Even though I'm a guard captain, I'm like, "Are you making a little more money than the average person? I think so.

Even if Madison were a saver, it would probably be impossible to pay more for his treatment than usual.

In the first place, I don't even know if I can go back to South Strag.

Cutting an empty bill doesn't mean anything.

"--First of all, can you help dismantle and transport the ski giant Snowglide Centipede?"

I can't help winding up all the small sums of money from the troubled Madison, and I can sell the material of the ski giant Snowglide Centipede.

It's not very expensive material, but it's hard for us to dismantle this giant ski giant, Snowglide Centipede, alone, and it's impossible to take everything home.

In that regard, with Madison's help, there will be a lot more to take home.

However, if the value is equivalent to the cost of treatment, it is quite subtle.

"It's lighter than that. I'll be happy to do it. Unless they say," Drop the wounded and hold the material. "

"I won't say that. What do you think I am?

Very unexpectedly, Madison smiled and shook his head when I revealed my dissatisfaction.

"Oh, I see. But I can tell you that shit."

Is it the people scattered in the snow, or the people who sent them here?

I don't know which one it refers to, but it is a word that shows how Madisons have been treated so far.

"Rest assured. I'm not going to be rude."

"I understand. Even us ladies treated us well. Is there anything else I can do?

"And then... I want you to cooperate with me in the future, like testimony or something."

I don't know how far I can go, but I want to weaken Baron Kirk as much as I can.

In order for me to do business with confidence in the future.

"Of course. It's about leaving us."

Now, let's get to the dismantling.

When it comes to the characteristics of the ski giant Snowglide Centipede, one of the most important is its ability to travel fast even on snow.

Rather, it is life.

If there's no snow, it's just a big bug.

It's not a miscellaneous fish, but it's not that hard to fish.

Now, when it comes to what secures its mobility, it's the structure of the foot.

The elongated part of the board specializes in moving on snow and allows for high-speed gliding.

And that trait won't be lost when the ski giant Snowglide Sentipide dies.

This part is perfect for a sleigh slip.

If you use this to make a sleigh, you will slip very well without resistance, and if you are on snow, it will not be difficult to carry heavy luggage.

In other words, for us who can't walk on our own with injured people and luggage, we definitely want it.

That's why I made up three simple sleds with three pairs of toes.

Of course, it is simple, and if I keep using the ski giant "Snowglide Sentipide" without processing the toes, it will deteriorate, but there is no particular problem until I go back to the village.

Even if you try to stack injured people and luggage on top of it, it is easy to move and performs more than you can imagine.

Thanks to this, we succeeded in going down the mountain earlier than originally envisaged.

◇ ◇ ◇

A half-day drive to Yoke Village.

When we got back so far, we set up a campsite in the woods and took a break.

I've talked to a lot of people along the way about how to treat Madisons, but if we don't abandon them, we don't have many options.

If you return to South Strag normally, you could be killed with your mouth sealed, and even if you take them to Yorkville, that village must also be the territory of Baron Kirk, and it is difficult to sneak away with this number of people.

The result was a way to hide in the Rozze family territory for the first time.

Nevertheless, even Iris, the Inbred son of the Rotze family, cannot decide on important matters that could be a kind of conflict with other nobles without consulting the main parties.

For that reason, Kate decided to consult with Mr. Adelbert first, but Kate also succeeded in obtaining an understanding and returned yesterday.

Today, we're pulling out the camp and moving on to the Rozze family territory.

"Now, we're going to our parents' house... Dear store manager, are you all right?

It is Iris and Kate who lead the Madisons.

Me and Lorea, who need to ripen the request from His Highness, are to split up here and return to Yorkville.

"It's okay, we've lost a lot of material."

As I came back here, I was almost finished processing the Snowglide Centipede, a ski giant, thanks to the extra time I spent working on it.

I asked Madisons to take the unnecessary parts and store them at the Rozze house, and Lorea and I would only take some of the materials back to the village that would be difficult to process without a workshop.

It is not a small amount, but we can manage to hold it together, and if it is about half a day's distance to the village, there is no problem.

"No, I'm worried about Warrant Baron Kirk..."

"You're fine, I can fight a little too. The number of pussies brought in at that time has increased slightly. I don't think it's convenient to hire a new skilled vigilante.

Not to mention the city of South Strag, which is also a regional city.

It's probably no coincidence that a clever man showed up and Baron Kirk hired him.

No, right...?

"... no, don't be alarmed. Prepare powerful smelters (artifacts) to ensure that even when strong people come out..."

What happened to the Smelter (Artifact) for the attack? Iris raised his voice to block my thoughts.

"No, no, no! This country isn't slaughtered enough to beat the manager? I don't think about losing or anything like that. No, but I'm worried that the store manager will catch on to me. To Warrant Baron Kirk.

"Does it hurt? I'm the kind of guy you think I am?

I'm pretty open, aren't I?

Don't get a little angry, okay?
