The Novice Alchemist’s Store

Because of Kanya, he walked cautiously on the floor that was slippery, and we were going behind the cave.

… in less than two hours.

Isn't it a little deep, considering the slow pace of progress?

I didn't seem to be the only one who thought that, and Mr. Iris called out with a slightly fed up look.

"Hey, Store Manager. Wouldn't that be nice?

"Right. When you say you don't care the deepest, it's a bit of a lie, but it'll be big enough."

The size of the ice-tooth bat sticking to the ceiling here is at least 30 cm.

Some individuals are about 40 centimeters if they do poorly.

With as many individual fangs as this, they have impeccable cooling capacity and will treasure it when building a freezer.

"Oh, we'll see about this. Definitely a big one."

"Seriously, you can take it all you want! Dear Store Manager, if you hunt all the ice tooth bats here, your debt will be settled..."

"I won't. But it's a little less."

"Right. Well, Iris' life is expensive."

"Yes, don't tell me..."

Mr. Iris tells you like you're depressed, but it's true, so give it up.

It's too expensive a potion to give you for free, is that it?

"No, no, Iris' lady's lucky, huh? Normally, it's impossible for me to help you carry a debt."

"That's right, Iris. And the first person I met."

"Both Mr. Andre and Mr. Gray, I know that very well. Uh, I'm sorry, sir."

"No, even I, the alchemist, can't afford it."

"Again, even the alchemist said that's that amount. - Hmm? So, what's that potion doing in that store?

"It's my master's farewell."

"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"Never mind. Compared to Mr. Iris' life, it's cheap."

I'll take the money.

"Oh, there's a backlight coming from the manager..."

No, I didn't give it to you.

I'm not that weird.

"No! You can see it in my eyes! Lord Store Manager! I'll do my best!

"... ha. Good luck. In the meantime, start hunting the ice tooth bat on top."

"Oh!............... sorry, Kate. I'm powerless."

To my words, it was Mr. Iris who replied well, but with a gaggling silence for the time being.

"You don't have the means to attack. I'll do my best for Iris."

"That's Kate! Don't count on me!

To Iris, who smiles and slaps her bread and shoulders, Kate smiles bitterly and turns to me.

"Because I'm doing well. Mr. Store Manager, is it okay to attack normally?

"Basically. Just try to take a blow special. 'Cause if it gets noisy, it's gonna be a bummer and a hassle flying around."

"A special blow... that's hard. I can't aim my head..."

"It's pointless when you lose your fangs. So I think a bug-removing net that's easy to catch even when you're flying around is plain most convenient, if you can't use magic"

"Uh, Sarasa, what do we do? I haven't brought anything that I think I can use today..."

"Mr. Andre and the others, collect the ice tooth bats I drop. You have leather bags, don't you?

"Oh, I'm fine"

Let's get started.

Me using pospospos and magic to drop ice tooth bats and Mr. Andre collecting it.

Kate is also killing him pretty well......

"Ah!"

I just shot about five of them, and I made a mistake.

Halfway injured ice tooth bats fall to the ground in a bumpy noise, while other ice tooth bats that were sticking to the ceiling begin to fly around.

Luckily, thanks to The Wind Wall Air Wall, we don't run into each other.

"Sorry!"

"Uh, I don't have a choice. Shoot Andre and the others, too. This will arrive."

"Whoa! I got it!

I'm as magical as ever, and Mr. Andre and Mr. Iris start killing ice tooth bats flying around with their swords.

And vice versa, Mr. Kate told the retriever.

It just seems hard to put an arrow on a flying bat.

Well, it flies pretty irregularly, a bat.

If you shoot an arrow in this situation, you can hit your side if you're bad.

And for a while.

All the bats escaped from this area, and a number of ice-tooth bat bodies rolled on the ground.

"Hmm. Should I go home when I collect this? I've got enough of what I need."

"Right. That's about the limit."

The leather bags each has are already packed with more than half, ice-tooth bats.

When you put in the body that's rolling now, you're critical?

Besides, we're going to have to walk out for two hours.

Take on a leather bag full of corpses.

I don't have a physical problem, but I'm a little ungrateful.

But you don't want the body in the backpack your master gave you, so you haven't brought it.

I also worked hard to pack it in a leather bag and take responsibility for it and go outside the cave.

The return was sometimes a climb, and I was able to get out of the cave without hanging as long as I came.

Slippery downhill uses a lot of nerve, doesn't it?

In case you fall, it's a catastrophe on a level that won't be stylish.

But this time, fortunately, no one has ever been caught in a tragedy and escaped successfully.

Out we all took a big, deep breath.

Beautiful air would be appreciated, even if I said the intense odor would be cut, because I'm pretty sure it smells.

"Phew...... Then let's retrieve the fangs here. Bringing back the body just gets in the way."

"Right. You just have to fold it normally, right?

"Yes, from the root to the inside, and if that's all you're aware of. Oh, be sure to wear leather gloves, huh? Unless you want to lose your fingers."

"Or, of course. Exactly any more, increasing your debt..."

I nod to Mr. Iris, who says in a hurry.

"Right. When it comes to regenerating your fingers, I don't mean doubling your debt, but it's going up a few percent."

Because the smelting drug Potion for site regeneration is very expensive.

"Ugh. Be careful.... Kate, you had some more thick gloves, didn't you?

"I need to pick up something a little dangerous. Let's use that."

Mr. Iris and his collectors only wear gloves that protect their hands all the time, but what they usually use are gloves that are flexible enough for weapons and other things to handle.

So you were anxious, you two are switching to thick gloves you took out of your luggage.

Look, the same goes for Mr. Andre and the others, who seem to be a skilled gatherer around here.

Me? I'm fine.

Because it's a light glove, but it doesn't penetrate to the extent of the ice tooth bat's teeth.

Of course, the smelter Artifact.

It was on three volumes, with a standard price of 3200 rare.

We have to make it once, so we have that thing lined up in the warehouse.

I am poor, but I actively use what seems convenient.

Even if it's dusty in the warehouse, it's just useless.

"Hmm? Sarasa, those gloves, they look thin, but are you okay?

If you use it, you'll be blessed with publicity opportunities like this, right?

"Yes, because this is the smelter" artifact "called" Flexible Gloves ”. It's sturdy enough that it can't be cut with a few blades. As the name suggests, it's also flexible, so it's easy to do fine work, and it's convenient, right?

"Hmm... can I borrow it for a second?

"Yeah, I don't mind. Try to get your hands on it."

Take off your gloves and give them to Mr. Gray, who showed interest.

It's obviously small in Mr. Gray's hand. Plus, surprisingly, with one hand in his hand, he looked at it with surprise.

"My hands go in fine. Besides, you barely inhibit movement!?"

"This flexibility, and the fine movement of your fingertips, is also a thickness that won't interfere. This is what makes this glove so special. Now that it's sturdy, I use it when doing alchemy. The risk of injury is plainly high," said Alchemy. "

To be exact, I'm using a "thin flexible glove” that was on four volumes, one more than this.

This again, as the name suggests, the flexible gloves just became thinner.

"The downside is that only the smelter Artifact consumes very little magic..."

"No, you're on a level you can't feel, okay? At least that's a perfectly fine level for me."

Seeing Mr. Grey happily running his hand around, Gill looks a little intrigued, too, getting his hand in the other glove.

"Hmm, not so much. By the way, how much is it?

"Uh... three thousand... for eight hundred rare. If you can expect to sell to some extent,"

I thought for a moment and answered that to Mr Andre.

The standard price of 3200 rare is the price when sold in Wangdu.

It depends on how much and how much you can sell, but in the case of this village, even if you sell it for 3800 rare, it's a little harsh considering the cost of picking up the material.

If you can only sell one, you're totally in deficit.

Transportation costs, because I knew it wouldn't be stupid.

In my case, I have the backhand of asking my master... but that too, in the end, is just replacing the transportation costs with the magic of me and my master, and you should think about it if you buy it normally.

"3800? So tougher and easier to work with than regular gloves... well worth considering"

"You can order at any time, can't you? If possible, I'm glad the numbers are clustered.... In some cases, you study, right?

"Hmm, maybe it's possible. Lucky for you, a lot of them have money now. In the matter of example. Plus, this, ice tooth bat fangs. If you feel safe when you take advantage of it..."

I think a little bit about whether you're counting people in your head who are likely to buy it, Mr. Andre.

In the meantime, I ask Mr. Gray and the others to return the gloves and resume the fang folding.

I broke my fangs with vacillation, and the body went into the woods.

The work itself is simple, so in less than an hour all the leather bags were emptied and a small pile of fangs remained.

Due to the fact that there were more ice tooth bats older than I imagined, the fangs stained with a pretty deep blue are a bit like gems and quite beautiful.

Of course, the price of buying increases depending on your age, so you can buy about enough flexible gloves just for this.

"Uh, is the distribution good for 10% of the population?

With all this number, even in equal portions, it is sufficient for use in refrigerators and freezers.

That's what I suggested, and Mr. Andre and the others looked at each other.

"We appreciate it, but is it good? I don't care what you think, it worked best for Sarasa."

"Around there, I mean, the guide rent"

"Well, I'm sorry. Even if I do, I'll sell it at Sarasa's anyway, so can I have it for money later?

"Oh, right. Okay, I'll pay you at the store. Iris and the others..."

"We'll ask for it, too. All of it... Oh, no, let me talk to you about how much you're going to spend on paying off your debt."

"Sorry, I can't afford much..."

"Yes, I understand. But you don't have to, do you? I'm worried that if I cut it off weird, I won't get hurt."

The amount of material that Mr. Iris and the others have collected over the past few days, the bulk of which has been given as debt repayment, so you can roughly imagine the nostalgia between the two of them.

I'm just able to live because the cost of food, accommodation is cheap, and I quickly know it's cute considering the gear, etc.

"Store manager...... thanks"

"No. If Mr. Iris dies, he won't be able to collect his debts."

When I say jokingly, Mr. Iris and the others snort bitterly.

"Be careful. Until I'm done paying my debts and I can repay the manager."

"Yes. The price of life, its repayment is long, isn't it?

I laughed nicely when I said that.
