The Novice Alchemist’s Store

I don't do it myself, but I'm plain tired of watching magic manipulation practice.

No, I'm more tired than I do.

Because it needs to be properly manipulated or 'see' the magic of others.

Waiting for a while while while while I gently massaged my eyes, Cottori and cup were placed before me.

My nose is tickled by the aroma of getting up, and I feel calm.

I say thank you to Lorea and sip that warm cup of tea.

I like the better temperatures and tannins.

"Huh, delicious"

"Dear Mr. Bad.... Um, Sarasa, is there any good way to improve your magic manipulation?

"Naturally, but it's basically an authentic exercise. It's also effective to use magic with precision, but since it's not suitable as magic that Lorea can use right now, is this one of these days? After that, working with smelters (artifacts) can also help. Because I know what it's like to run magic."

"Smelter (artifact)... like a magic stove or something?

"It's easier for the average person to use it, so it's not that far... the magic furnace that Lorea used to melt the frying pan on is, in a way, ideal"

That was when we had not yet introduced the Magic Guided Stove.

Lorea said to me, "I'll make it! 'And I said,' You've cooked for me before... and that's when I used the magic furnace I keep in the workshop.

It wasn't a large one, it was a small one used for a little blacksmith work, but even a small one has the ability to just melt metal.

Lorea, whose injection magic manipulation was immature, consequently crippled the frying pan she had brought from the house, causing a major burn.

I fixed the frying pan, but I was in a bit of a hurry then too.

Finally, there was another failure, so naturally, since then, I haven't let you cook in the workshop, and now that the kitchen is already in place, you don't have to.

You remembered that, and Lorea, too, lays down her eyes and bends her mouth at first sight.

"Oh, those are... bitter memories"

"Yeah, that's right. Me, too, I'm not gonna let you touch that. Not yet."

Since I really started practicing as an alchemist?

Because I plan to grow my knowledge side for the time being.

"Something else... well, maybe there's no danger with the nursery aids I have right there."

"Is that it? It's a beautiful smelter."

Lorea, who was sitting in front of me and drinking tea, stands in front of the nursery aid at the window as she puts the cup down and stands up, observing the pot still.

"You haven't sprouted yet..."

"I won't be out in exactly one night ~. Because just subsidizing it doesn't promote growth"

The functionality of nursery aids only brings them closer to the optimal environment of the plant, so the time taken for germination is not that different from if planted normally.

Some plants are fast growing like sprouts overnight, but all of the stuff I planted this time is pricey - that is, difficult medicinal herbs to grow.

It can't even sprout easily.

"Oh, but if you're a nursery aid, it's a little different from what you saw yesterday. It's kind of like the light's faded...?

"What, really? You shouldn't be spending so much magic as soon as you know..."

"But here, isn't it?

I get up, too, and move next to Lorea to see the nursery aid.

Lorea is pointing to the Demonic Crystal Stone placed on the side.

That was clearly inferior in whiteness than yesterday, and we could see signs of magic consumption.

"... really. Hmm?"

This nursery aid is also designed to allow me to store a little more magic, thinking about leaving the store open.

Normally, in just one day, there can be no change that can tell the magic consumption.

Nonetheless, that is what is happening......

Could it have failed something when I made it?

"... should I refill it? Doesn't look like it's working."

"Ah, Mr. Sarasa. Can I try?

"Right, fine. Try it. Put your finger here."

"Yes...... Surely this... is not the same as using a Magic Stove."

"Right, but it's done right."

Slightly less expensive, the magic is replenished properly.

Watching as it is, Lorea eventually takes her hand off the nursery aid.

"Phew...... Is this the limit for me?"

"Yeah, don't push it too hard. Mostly, it's full."

I touch Choi and the nursery aids and pour out the missing minutes, almost consuming my magic and letting Lorea sit in the chair with her hands on her fluttering.

"It's also important to know how long it takes to consume and how long it will take to recover. Sit down for a while and rest."

"Yes, thank you"

If I lowered my back to the chair next door with my hands on Lorea's body and drank some slightly soaked tea, Lorea carelessly left her body at the table and looked at the empty chair in a bluff.

"... Mr. Iris, by now, what are you doing?

"Uh-huh, there's no salamander, so it's not gonna be dangerous, and I think it's about time we got home if things go well...... my entourage is the researcher, so hey"

I believe that it is the researchers who act unscheduled, with their own interest priorities.

It's a little biased, but, I guess, it's not that far off.

Considering that, the worse you do, the more you eat the road grass on the way, the more you finally get on the ground, the better it can even be.

"Well, still, because of the food convenience, I'm sure you'll be back in that range,"

Exactly, stick with local sourcing of food, I don't think there's anything like it.

I don't know what kind of food you can get around the cave in Salamander, about lava lizards.

Anyway, Mr. Nord is like second to none of the other things in the research first, and Mr. Iris is too pathetic to be attached to it.

"But if it's dangerous, I'm a little relieved"

"Yeah, well, whatever happens, for then..."

And, as if I had been gauging the timing, my voice echoed in the house.

"I need your help! I need your help!

………

To a familiar voice somewhere, a word that the person is not likely to utter if normal.

Lorea's gaze, which looks kind of cold, pierces me guzzly.

"... Sarasa, what's this?

"This is a resonance stone, that is, a distress request from Mr. Iris and the others. Looks like something went wrong that we can't solve ourselves."

"No, it's not. Oh, no, that's important, too, but what's this dialogue?

"This? I might miss hearing that it was just a bell sound or something, so I asked Mr. Iris to make it a sound I would definitely notice"

With a body called

"I wanted Mr. Iris to say a cute dialogue"

"Mr. Sarasa......"

My guilt is slightly irritated by Lorea's frightened voice.

But rather, it's no exaggeration to say that you built a resonant stone for it!

Because in the process of deciding what it sounded like, I had a lot of fun!

Mr. Iris is in shame.

Instead, the resonant stone itself was provided for free, so no problem, right?

"But I didn't know I was actually going to use it"

"Ah! I mean, this is what Mr. Iris and the others are in danger for, right?!?"

"I broke it by mistake, I can also think of that... maybe?

"Ha, isn't it tough!! What do we do!?"

I support Lorea fluttered trying to get up in a hurry and let her sit in the chair again before I respond quietly.

"Take it easy, Lorea. That's why we're accompanying Alchemy Creatures."

"It was! Yes, hurry and check!

"Roger. It's a little far away, but it's tough..."

When you synchronize your consciousness with an alchemy organism (homunculus), your body becomes a little more neglected.

I'm actually in the best shape I've slept, but when I look into Lorea's eyes, which shake anxiously, I say, 'You're going to lie down a little!' It's hard to say.

I calmed my hips on the chair and slowly began to work out my magic as I placed my hands on the table to stabilize my body.
