The Novice Alchemist’s Store

013 Let's Go To The City (1)

After I gave Andre and the others the price, I quickly, didn't make a fridge......

'Cause there's no outer frame of the fridge.

I placed an order with Mr. Geberg, and as soon as I explained to him the details of what I needed, he said, 'It's going to take a while.'

Is it because you're restoring a burnt rental? If I thought so, simply because 'I can't have the quality ingredients I need right away' to make the cabinets I want.

There is not much demand for quality wood in this village, so the stock is low.

Even if the quality is slightly poor, I will do something with alchemy, I told him, 'Can you forgive me as an artisan!' And he got angry.

Failure, failure.

Yeah, right, you're an artisan.

"- So I'm going out, Lorea!

"I don't know what you mean, but where are you going?

"Run a little alone until South Strag"

As I pointed in the direction of Choi and South Strag, Mr. Iris and Kate turned to me, looking at each other and looking worried.

"The manager alone, huh?

"No matter how many store managers, it's not safe for one girl. I can't even sleep at night."

I can hang those words from two people who don't know I went to South Strag last time.

But don't worry about that.

"It's okay, 'cause it's not gonna be like wild boarding"

"... Speaking of which, you were back in two days before this, right?"

"Yeah, in a night or two. Mr. Leonora made me stay, so you were safe."

I saved money on the lodging and the hassle of finding a safe place to stay.

Thankfully.

"Running a horse is a bit of a tough distance for a day... that's the manager, right?"

"No, no, I'm still immature! But this time I'm going for it, have a day trip!

"What, a day trip... but the store manager just can't...?

"Yeah, I feel like I should this time! I've been through a dying muscle ache and I've grown one! - Okay, then?

No, you can't be weak.

Think about the last time, we'll figure it out if we leave early in the morning and don't make an extra stop!

If you don't relax and have tea time or stop by a bad alchemist's place, I'm sure.

"Hmm, if that's the case, our escort will stay out of the way the other way"

"Even though the manager is here, what we can do is keep an eye on him while he's camping."

"Just how you feel, thank you.... if you need anything, I'll buy it?

"No, I'm fine. We have a place to sleep and a meal, all we need now is what we need for our collection activities!

"I can't afford to waste my money."

"I don't even need to be that stoic...... ok. I'll be out tomorrow, so if you need anything, tell me by then, okay?

◇ ◇ ◇

Earlier the next morning, when I left the village, I started running to South Strag at a higher pace than last time.

Because I've been in the village longer to use physical enhancement, or because I, as I said yesterday, experienced terrible muscle pain, I feel like the magic street is better than last time.

In addition to that, the duration of physical enhancement is also clearly up.

I gently passed where I put the last time off, and ended up running as I was, all the way to South Strag.

"I mean, I'm growing up, too, right? Huuuuuuuuuu..."

There is nothing to say about this if it is accompanied by physical growth.

Unfortunately, for a while, I can't see any growth, but hey!

At least a little more, I want my back.

Kids see me because it's time to give up, but it's hard to work.

"It's okay. There's still hope. … and we need to hurry more than that"

The first destination is the wood enquirer in this town.

If it's not in the village, you can order it, so I took over the timber order instead of Mr. Geberg.

Because a little girl like me came along, or at first a surprised look, the inquisitor's husband began to peck as soon as he lined up his purchase order with Mr. Geberg's signature and my alchemy permit, Alchemies License.

That would be fine if you handled it normally...... let's go.

Ask them to deliver the items written on the purchase order to the village, after the inquirer.

Even the awesome backpack my master gave me, unfortunately I can't carry wood, so I just have to have this carried normally.

Because thick round-tails and thick, large plates don't physically enter through the mouth of the backpack.

And next time, of course, Mr. Leonora's place.

Mr. Leonora sat in the store when he opened the door to the store, which was cleaned beautifully as usual.

"Welcome......" That's not Sarasa. I knew you were safe. "

It was those words that came out of Mr. Leonora's mouth when he saw me entering the store and opened his eyes slightly.

"I'm out of time. - What do you mean, safe?

"The gatherer who ran away from your village was making a scene. Say no more of that village, or something."

"... Oh, is it Hell Flame Grizzly?

A lot of people, they seem to have escaped, and it's natural for rumors like that to spread.

"Yes, well, even half the conversation seemed definitely a crisis in the village, because you knew Sarasa was there. I wasn't too worried."

And then the story of you repelling him safely... is that it? Maybe it's not flowing?

A few days after I was resurrected.

Except if around Mr. D'Arna comes to purchase, because people come and go in less villages than they originally gathered.

"I appreciate you trusting me, but I'm not as insane as my master, am I?

I know it's trust because my master is famous, but I'm not like my master.

Because I can't live up to much expectation.

"By the way, who are you here to sell today?

"... it's a Hell Flame Grizzly material though"

"I guess. How many did you get out?

"Two or eight."

"So, you think Sarasa killed it?

I shook my head in a panic to Mr. Leonora, who told me like I was frightened.

"No way. Only eight I killed. The rest is the hard work of the gatherers and villagers who stayed behind."

"If that's all you did alone, I think it's enough, hey. Well, okay. So, can you show me?

"Yes. First the fur and flame bags, the eyeballs -"

Arrange the Hell Flame Grizzly material taken from the backpack in order and it will fill up on the counter as you see it.

Mr. Leonora will move it to another table and calculate the purchase amount. "Well... that's a brilliant process. There are many scratches on the fur, can't you help it? The frenzied material is valuable, and I would definitely buy it all... but when I buy it all, it turns out I'm a sucker."

"It could be material, right? Because there are a lot of things I want. Another thing, not so much an eyeball product, but some of these things."

With that said, what I spread over the counter was ice tooth bat fangs.

Except for the fridge and the freezer, I brought them all later.

I didn't plan on using it right away, and Mr. Andre and the others should definitely head out to collect it.

Even if I let it all go now, there's no problem.

"Heh, ice tooth bat? The market's been up lately, so that'll help. Besides, you're a pretty good age, aren't you? I haven't been coming from that village lately, and I've been in trouble. It should be unnecessary to process and easy to transport."

Mr. Leonora, who put the gloves back on, arranges them on the counter in price order.

That speed of judging value just by looking at it, that's veterans.

I'm not up against it, by the way, but in my case, I don't have to look.

Because I can judge by the amount of magic.

"Village collectors say it's caused by being bought and beaten before? I don't think that's the right thing to do."

"... Could it be him again?

I shake my head vaguely to Mr. Leonora, who has become a slightly more rugged gaze.

"I don't know about that... because for ice tooth bats, cheap stuff is cheap"

"When you're a young thing, that's what happens. Hmmm... no use thinking about it"

It was Mr. Leonora with a little thought in mind, but he immediately sighed and shook his head.

"So, is this all good to buy too?

"Yes. It's going to be hot this time of year, isn't it a tough product?

"I guess there's nothing left to sell. - So, what do you need? Depending on the amount of it, I can't buy it all."

"Well, let's start with the materials you need for flexible gloves -"

Naturally, flexible glove materials that are likely to be ordered will be required for the four-roll smelter Artifact, plus a significant amount of material for the smelter Potion, which is likely to be needed in five volumes.

Leonora's store availability and funding status are also discussed, while adding materials, my backpack won't be pampered either... This backpack, he said.

Anyway, I buy a lot.

So much so that Mr. Leonora is a little shuddered.

It's a long way from coming to buy some, this town.

I need to make sure I buy into this opportunity.
