The Novice Alchemist’s Store

I decided to fix the kitchen first, but I actually had something to take precedence over.

Hell Flame Grizzly, which caused this disturbance.

Before I fell, I managed to perform the downward processing on all kinds of materials, but I couldn't move anymore, so I left them after that.

Naturally, it hasn't been exchanged for money.

Yes, money.

Andre and the others who stayed, even though it was dangerous. Collectors and villagers who had their houses destroyed.

If you don't distribute it properly and quickly to those people, I'm sorry.

So I came to talk to the village chief about how we should distribute it...

"- What? You don't need it, do you?

"Bye. At least, with regard to the material Sarasa recovered, you can do whatever you want. Yep."

It was an unexpected word the village chief told me.

"Sarasa killed a lot of them, didn't she? No one complains. Instead, I let you handle the rest here..."

"Oh, no, of course, I don't mind..."

What was left was not used as alchemy material or so worthless.

Specifically, meat, skin, etc.

Depending on how I did it, there were parts that I could use, because I couldn't afford that much.

"Right. Well, that's why. If you sell them, you'll get paid enough."

"I see..."

After all, how many did you have?

More than 20, right?

If we sell those meats and skins...... yeah, it could certainly be a pretty good price?

But can you do it?

Mr. D'Arna has to go for sale, says it's this village.

"Um, are you okay? Don't you have a problem selling to? Whatever it is, I'll take it somewhat."

"Mm... I don't think so. The meat is now salted by the villagers, but Darna doesn't have many handouts..."

Mr. D'Arna's business partners are vendors who purchase groceries for sale in the village and vendors who sell agricultural products made in the village.

Regardless of the meat, which is food, the skin, to be honest, seems to have trouble handling it.

"Then I'll take on the skin. Especially for collectors, you'd need cash to pay right away, wouldn't you?

"Is that good?

"Yeah, I can process it."

Normally, the skin needs to be tanned and processed into leather, but with alchemy it is the same as tanning - no, it can be in better condition than it is normally tanned.

If you multiply the cost slightly, it can also have a special effect, so even if you pay more to buy it, you can get enough of it.

"Well, I'm sorry, but it's nice to meet you. I'll let you take it later, so if you're paying for it, look at it and pay what Sarasa thinks is reasonable."

"Understood."

◇ ◇ ◇

Having left the village chief's house, I was going a little farther and looking around the village to see what was going on in the village.

I didn't see it because it collapsed almost at the same time as the raid ended then... Yeah, thanks to the hard work of Mr. Andre and the others, the house where the villagers lived seemed fine.

There is considerable damage to the rental property for the gatherers, but that is the joint ownership of the village.

You will fix it with village funds, and you will not have any immediate problems even if it is broken.

Quite a few collectors left, so no one's staying here right now.

To receive the Hell Flame Grizzly, the fence made by piercing work had already been removed and the material used to form a little fence on the boundary between the forest and the village.

Maybe you had a little bit of a crisis about this one?

It's not often.... maybe.

Neither am I familiar with the woods here, and I can assure you.

After checking on the village, go to your home.

But in the meantime, the villagers called me more than I could imagine.

"Thank you, Sarasa."

"No, it's the result of what we've all worked so hard for"

"Sarasa, thanks to you, our guy was safe! Look, take this!

"Oh, thank you"

"It's amazing, what an alchemist. Oh, that's all I miss. Eat this too."

"Ha, ha. Thanks......"

Say more than you can imagine or say everything you meet.

When you see me walking, the more the villagers say it's bound to come and say hello.

Plus, it makes a lot of difference.

The crop you're making.

Thanks to my hard work, too?

... Yeah, it's good to be accepted by the village, let's think so.

But this crop that's been both hands full by the time I get home... what do we do?

"Welcome back - what's going on, that?

"All right, Lorea, I got it!

I couldn't even open the door, and I was stuck in front of my home.

I asked Lorea, who came conveniently at that time, to explain why and to manage the items she had received.

I can't cook with it?

At least, as it stands.

"I see. Gentlemen, I appreciate it. If it wasn't for Sarasa, I'd know there was nothing I could do."

"I'm glad you said that, but you can light it up a bit. When you're so grateful."

I'm just not used to it.

Because I haven't been very involved with people before.

"We'll cook these and bring them."

"Thanks. It helps ~. Honestly, there was nothing I could do except eat it as it was"

If it's about potatoes, it doesn't have to be burned in a furnace in the alchemist's... just like that, right?

"But hurry up and make a kitchen, will you?

"Copy that!

I salute Piscilli to Lorea, who tells me to push just in case.

"But first, I wonder if I can repair the wall. I have an" engraving ”so it's kind of hard... Oh, the skin treatment before that? You're busy."

"Skin treatment, is it?

"Yeah. Even the villagers could handle the meat, but they seemed to have trouble handling the skin, so I decided to buy it. It's time to bring it."

As I was explaining the situation to Lorea, Mr. Andre just arrived with a big leather bag there.

When I see the two of us standing in front of the house, I smile and raise my hand and call out.

"Happy recovery, Sarasa. I brought the skin."

"Thank you. Good luck to you, too, Mr. Andre. Thanks to you, I managed to recover."

"Sounds like it. I didn't want to see you because I thought you weren't hurt or going to a girl's house."

"Oh, Mr. Andre. You're someone who doesn't look good on the outside and can take care of you, right?

"Say, Sarasa. This is still somewhat alive. I don't give a shit about that, do I?

To my light-hearted remarks, Mr. Andre laughs niggly and returns the words.

"Really? Now, if we can entrust Kate and the others with our sympathy, we'll be one more rank, man, right?

"Oops! You took one of these! Ha, ha, ha! But there's no such thing as a visit in this village, is there? I can't even give you lodging bread."

"Sure, it's not a treat. It's delicious."

Whether you want flowers in sympathy, or nutritious food, or a store in this village, only Mr. Darna's grocery store. Hard to get by itself.

And now, if I say "nourishing" or something, I'm going to get Hell Flame Grizzly meat.

"So that leather bag is Hell Flame Grizzly's skin"

"Oops. Some of it."

That said, Mr. Andre lowers the swollen leather bag to the ground.

At the same time, Lorea glanced at the smell that drifted from it.

"Ugh. You smell pretty good. Smells raw..."

"I'm sorry. I don't know what to do because some of the shit I did."

"No, because that processing is also the work of an alchemist"

"Alchemist... that's tough"

"Fine, because there's a lot of stinky stuff. You'll get used to it."

Regardless of the minerals, animal and plant-derived materials are often used, some of which really stink but are tight.

That's enough to make you unconscious if you don't use a dedicated mask.

Compared to that, it's no big deal.

Of course, the smell stinks.

"But this time it really helped. If it weren't for Sarasa, seriously, I wouldn't have done it, would I? That's an unexpected number."

"You've said a lot of thanks. For the people of the village."

"It's time! It was awesome right after, rumors."

"... so much?

"Oh! No one and he were talking about Sarasa! He said he shot me."

I accidentally put my hand on my forehead to Mr. Andre, who laughs niggly.

"Right. After four days, I calmed down a lot, because the size of that bear was so convincing."

"... you're going to sleep for three days, and you think it might have been a little good."

Much calmer, that condition.

I'm not that good with people. If it was me, even if I was fine, I might not have gotten out of the house.

Fortunately, I'm unhappy, because I fell asleep, and no one pushed me home.

No matter how much you appreciate it, that's just awful.

"By the way, when will the store start again? After all, Sarasa doesn't have Potion, her smelter, because it's completely different, and it's safe."

"If it's just the smelting potion, you can start today, right? Will they buy it and go?

"Oh, is that good?

"Yes. Lorea, can you do me a favor?

"Got it! Now, Mr. Andre, go inside the store."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Dropping off the two of them entering the store space, I took a leather bag stuffed with skin and went from the back to the alchemist's.

First, when I put the leather bag in the corner of the workshop and moved to the store space, Mr. Andre just received the smelting drug Potion and finished the settlement.

"Every time, thank you for your purchase"

"This way, thanks for the help. Don't tell the rest of them you're back on track."

"Yes, thank you again"

"" Thank you ""

Dropping off Mr. Andre as he walked out the door, me and Lorea held their mouths together.
