The Novice Alchemist’s Store

The itinerary to the destination had not progressed as late.

The cause of this...

"Ko, this is Narsnatch! You're on, even though you rarely find it!

Carefully take the bright yellow-green viscous fungus that was on the stone and go inside the bottle.

There's no way I'm going to miss this.

"Tiny Lutac is growing! Be careful if you don't pay close attention to this."

Collect the rips of the fallen tree, the thin yellow little mushrooms that were growing in it, in a pinset, about half.

On top of only about a centimeter of stock, if it crumbles, it will be worthless, so carefully go into the box one at a time.

"This moss is blue powder, isn't it? Usually it's green moss and it's not worth it, but only this time of year, it's blue powder and it's worth it."

The powder is important, so hold your breath and carefully peel it with a knife and go inside the leather bag.

"No, that's the Great Tree Sea! That's a treasure trove of materials! This isn't a dream of tripling your income, Mr. Andre."

"That's a delightful piece of information...... is Hell Flame Grizzly's investigation better?

"... oops. That was your main job. There are many good materials. Eh heh."

I laugh and delude myself when Andre pointed me out with a slightly frightened look on my face and thought to the point.

But in fact, with all this variety of materials, we can create a wide variety of smelter potions and smelter artifacts. It's also a bit understandable that the master recommended this place.

If I don't bring it in much, shall I come back and pick it up myself?

"I don't know because all the materials Sarasa collected were things we didn't know. Actually, it's pretty wasteful, isn't it? Us."

"There's nothing more I can do than not know. We're understudied."

"That's the same for us. Mr. Store Manager, is the information on those materials in the book that Mr. Store Manager was reading the other day?

"Right, you're on it to some extent. I read that one too, and some of them are looking for it with a hit."

Regardless of the blue powder and narsnatch that pops into your eyes easily, Tiny Lutac and others are not the kind of material you would find while traveling if you didn't blind yourself thinking 'it might be growing around here'.

I'd forgotten half of it, but our purpose now is to go to the habitat of Hell Flame Grizzly. I'm not moving around slowly exploring the area.

"You are. Mr. Store Manager, can I read it to you next time?

"Of course you don't mind if you guys are Kate. As for me specializing in buying, I'm happy to have more types of materials, and I'd like to spread the information to other collectors if possible... It's hard, isn't it?"

"Well, the book is expensive. You can't lend it cheap."

"There's also that, but that book, even if it's named, doesn't say features, precautions, etc., so without knowledge of the object, it's pointless, right?"

Even if the book says' Tiny Lutac can be picked around here ', you can't find it without knowing the Tiny Lutac itself, and even if you do, if you don't know the precautions in picking, the material you've picked will be worthless if you do poorly.

If you're Mr. Iris, you just have to ask me if you don't know, but the other gatherers aren't.

I mean, if we're going to teach them the contents of the book, we need to teach them a lot of information about collections together, too, and that's hard.

Simply put, it's like doing a class I took at an alchemy school to a collector.

At least, it's not something you can do in one hassle while doing a store.

"And then, when you're blind to money and you go into the back of the woods with halfway knowledge, there's sacrifice, so you can't do bad things, or something."

"After all, it's dangerous in the back of the woods, isn't it?

"Yeah, naturally. Like this, for example."

When I quickly pull out my sword, I swing right next to Mr. Kate's face.

Shh. Zak. Dossa.

A snake about a turn thinner than my arm separated me from my head and torso and rolled to the ground.

Kate turns her eyes round to the nappy snake, shaking her lips as she bleeds out.

"Yes, when..."

"There are quite a few snakes, aren't there? I didn't come near you, so I ignored you, because this was close to Mr. Kate. This will also be material, so it's a collection. By the way, if you get bitten, you die, so be careful."

Mr. Andre called out to me like he was bewildered when he threw the body of a serpent who was no longer bleeding into a leather bag.

"Uh, no, just to be blunt, Sarasa. Is that normal? Around here."

"Pretty much? It's okay, it's not a demon, it's an animal, so if you don't get your hands on it, it's rarely going to hit you."

So if I don't use magic too, I won't be able to find it easily.

I don't have much use for it, so I don't have to dare hunt if I'm not around.

"... in case they bite you?

"Think we haven't had any luck, let's give up"

Gill and the others also distort their expressions when I reply lightly to Mr. Iris, who gobbles and throats.

"Seriously? The sea of trees, that's not an insult."

"You can buy an antidote for it at our place. There's a respite for a few minutes or so until you die."

"That... doesn't mean you can use it for a few minutes or so, does it? It'll help, won't it?

"............ (chuckles)"

"Oh, hey!?"

"It's a joke. An antidote for that would help. It's pointless to say it's another antidote, so you need to know exactly what snake bit you."

"Including that, you mean a lack of knowledge is dangerous."

"That's the thing. By the way, flexible gloves don't penetrate, so it's a good idea to pinch your hands when you're around."

"Hey, Andre! Flexible gloves out! I'll put it on."

"Whoa!"

To my words, Mr. Andre immediately unloads his luggage and distributes the flexible gloves taken from inside to Mr. Gray and the others.

By the way, Mr. Iris wears them from time to time, so that's not a problem.

"Oh, it's the upper jaw fangs that poison you, so when you get your hands on it, on that side. It's best to grab your head before it bites, though."

"That sounds pretty hard... There's nothing else you can do? Artifact, the smelter that avoids snakes."

"I'm not saying no, but normally like a flexible glove, it would be reasonable to wear protective gear that doesn't allow snake fangs to pass. both in terms of cost and other safety aspects."

- and so on, the day also leaned while we were talking about the lecture of the material and how to deal with the danger, and that day we were to find a slightly open place and camp.

There are two main smelter Artifacts that I have prepared for the camp this time.

I just made a floating tent and a small magic guide stove the other day.

Since Andre and the others have the bug smelter Artifact, and the tent has its function, it is not necessary.

Sensing and lighting of dangerous organisms can be dealt with magically, so I have not prepared them.

"Ho, is this the example tent? There was talk among the gatherers."

"Are you new to Mr. Andre's? We are currently selling it in our store, if you don't mind"

"Once you use this, you want it."

"Right. Something comfortable."

Andre and the others are approaching to see the tent I prepare and see if I was intrigued by how Mr. Iris and the others snorted.

"That much?... Can I come in for a second?

"Yeah, go ahead."

When I open the entrance to the tent and invite him, Mr. Andre and the others put their feet on the floating floor, somewhat surprised, and go inside.

And when I lay down slowly, I raised my voice in alignment.

"What moderate softness is this?"

"Awesome! You must be very comfortable sleeping."

"That's easier than an inn bed, this. And it's cool..."

"Isn't it? How about that?

I have confidence in my comfort - not that it sinks in as well as it does, but it also leads to comfort in my sleep.

If you lay a blanket in the winter, or even something like Goza in the summer, you can definitely sleep comfortably.

"But it's expensive, isn't it? This is all the tents."

"Yeah, quite. Additional features will increase the price."

This tent has bug repellent and air-conditioning features, but if you're someone who can't use magic, it would be useful to have the ability to issue warnings when dangerous organisms approach you, or the ability to turn on the lights.

When I told Andre and the others who came out of the tent the approximate price for every size, every function, they started to bother in arms.

"Mmmm...... There's nothing I can't buy from my current storage..."

"This is all the smelter artifacts, I can't say."

"Mm-hmm. With this, the collection will progress - hmm? No, wait a minute. In the first place, why don't we just pick it up for the night?

To Mr. Gray's words, Mr. Andre and Mr. Gill also turn their faces to me, only breathing like a hack.

"Have you noticed there"

Yeah, in fact, it's the smelter Artifact that most collectors living in the village don't need, right?

Instead, there will be demand for the pedestrians Gretz and Darna.

But Dalna, who only occasionally goes to South Strag to purchase, uses it infrequently, and Gretz, who seems to use it frequently, won't be able to afford a floating tent because he just gave his parents the harvester for the smelter Artifact the other day.

"Sarasa, are you okay? It's about Sarasa, so I don't think she's forced to recommend it..."

I naturally nod to Andre, who asks if the gatherer who bought the floating tent is dissatisfied.

"Yeah, of course that is. It's just a waste if you don't use it very often, and you might get dissatisfied... and you want to spread the information behind the woods."

Putting it in the back of the woods will increase the profits of collectors, and I will have more material to buy too.

There will be more likelihood of staying, so not only can floating tents be sold, but also various kinds of smelters (artifacts) that support the camp.

It's supposed to be beneficial for both sides...

"The question is, is there a balance between spreading information and gatherer skills, knowledge, etc."

"Yes, it is."

"Me and Iris can ask the manager a lot, but the other collectors don't."

Incidentally, the experience and knowledge around it is stone stone to be taught by senior collectors.

However, in the case of this village, there is a long period of absence of an alchemist, so there is a gap in the inheritance of knowledge.

"I'm counting on the veterans, Andre, including around there, right?

That's what I said, and Andre and the others wrinkle between their eyebrows and twist their necks.

"It's us... We got a little handy from the seniors, too, but back then, we didn't have enough arms to get in the back."

"Right. As much as I listen to you."

In other words, even the veterans Andre in the village do not have field training.

"Well, we'll have to work hard. We owe it to our seniors too."

"Yes, thank you. I will also support you in terms of knowledge."

If you get any experience with this request, it would help even with me.
