The Novice Alchemist’s Store

"You already have predictions, but I came here because of this head thing"

"Is that... a matter of His Highness having a little hair... that... being begged for free?

To my subtle words, which I said worried about how to describe so as not to be rude, His Highness laughs and says clearly, "Phew."

"Normally say bald, bald and. No need for futile care. Yes, that's it. Mr. Sarasa, I'd like you to make a hair conditioner. You can, can't you?

"I can do that..."

Hair growth agents are smelters (potions) listed in all five volumes of alchemy, and can be made if I am now.

And one of the best materials for collecting this season, presented to Iris earlier, is the main raw material.

Strangely enough, very gutsy timing.

But that's also inevitable in some ways.

The material, "Missanon root”, is a material that can be harvested regardless of the season, but only those harvested during this harsh cold season can be used as raw material for "hair growth agent", and if made from other harvested items during other seasons, it becomes “hair growth agent”.

I mean, if the purpose is hair growth agents, it makes sense to come this time of year, not so surprisingly.

- If that person isn't in the position of a prince, though.

"But Your Highness. If requested, it was also possible to deliver the material…"

I would rather you did.

What a merciless act to come all of a sudden without any prior contact!

I'm used to it to some extent if you're a nobleman, because royalty is so different on its own!!

"I don't care if you don't bother to step up, if you're a king's capital, I think you're essential to an alchemist with good arms, and you were more convenient there?

"Like Master Millis, your master, for example?

"Yes."

Naturally, it goes without saying the difference in skill between me and my master.

My master just took care of me the other day. If you ask me, 'Pick up the roots of the Missanon and send', I say, 'Immediately!' There is no other response.

As long as that is the case, there is no reason why His Highness should bother to come this far.

I'm a master with a little bit of a loathing for nobility, but I'm just not supposed to refuse His Royal Highness's request... and you're not gonna say no, are you?

"If you do think only of the alchemy arm, it would be best to ask Master Millis"

His Highness Felik smiles and affirms my words, while shaking his head and continuing his words.

"But it's not that simple. Still, I'm a prince, and Millis is a master class alchemist. If you make a request, it will get you really noticed. The King's capital is just so crowded, it's hard to hide it through"

A hair growth agent is quite a delicate substitute.

Hair problems are the ones that some people don't care about at all, but those who do care very much.

For some reason His Highness doesn't really care - on the contrary, it is His Highness's position to enter the category that makes it a laughing story, but normally cares.

I mean, if this story leaks, even if it's incomplete, it's not hard to imagine things starting to leap.

If you are a faction that wants to join His Highness Felik, you will want to obtain it before His Highness and sell your grace, and if you are a hostile faction, you will interrupt your acquisition and target His Highness's loss.

Even an opportunistic faction is likely to take some action if it is to be a deal story.

If that happens, the market for alchemy materials will surely be rough, and so many people will be annoyed.

"That's not what I meant. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not as troubled as I am, but my father told me that I can't go out in public like this."

"That would be..."

His Royal Highness himself doesn't have to worry, there is something called a public image.

If you're an older royal, you still don't have the hair of His Royal Highness Felik, who is still young and has a good appearance, or you come in the way diplomatically.

If you're an older royal, you're still young, Your Highness Felix.

The goodness of its appearance is also of diplomatic value, and if His Royal Highness were not to be able to go out into public, that would be a considerable loss as a prince.

Sure, His Royal Highness Felik should have been the first prince, but now the king hasn't decided on the crown prince yet, because in some circumstances other princes, princesses, may be nominated.

"Well, that's why. I want to get it in secret if possible to avoid a nasty cross spear."

"- Your Highness Felik, may I make a statement?

"Yeah, I don't mind. As I said, thank you is not necessary."

If Mr. Iris raised his hand a little and asked to speak, His Highness nodded to Eagle Deep.

"I'm afraid so. I understand the circumstances, but why is Your Highness here himself? It should not be more noticeable if it is also used. Didn't you have to go out of your way to get your feet taken? Besides, even in this country."

"I guess that's more familiar with Sarasa, the alchemist, why I came."

His Highness turns his gaze, and I nod and open my mouth.

"Uh, Mr. Iris. There are two types of hair conditioners. One is a generic hair conditioner for everyone. The other is a hair conditioner tailored to the person who uses it. I need the latter more if I'm going to treat him in earnest, but I can't do this without him."

Even the former grows hair, but it lasts a little longer until it grows, and when you stop using it, it often falls out again, which is a bit subtle as a function.

In contrast, the latter, once grown, will continue to work for about a few years, so even if the value is slightly strained, it is ultimately better to make and use things tailored to the individual.

That's why hair conditioners made for personal use are called “hair conditioners” to distinguish them.

However, it is necessary to examine the user in order to make the hair growth agent, and it is inevitable that he/she will go to the alchemist or call the alchemist.

If I were Your Highness, I would be able to adopt the latter method, but if I did that, I would certainly stand out.

As for this one, it's a means you can't choose, right?

"Was it? Fine, that's a hassle."

"Yes. It would be easy if you were a" bald pill ”person. Because it can be used by anyone and works great."

But I can't make it when they tell me to.

It's on because it's ten volumes of all the alchemy filled with subtle substitutes.

It's not that hard to make, so there are quite a few people who can make it, and if you ask someone you know, they'll tell you.

When it comes to the proper smelting drug (potion) to be put on about five or six volumes, it seems that the history of making it is "because it has been made as a failure of the hair growth agent".

If the person who made it used it without realizing it, it would be a tear eye.

"Baldness pills? Lord Store Manager, is there a demand for such smelting drugs (potions)?

"Yeah, I do, I'm out. It's popular with some people because it can permanently remove hair."

With people who shave their hair religiously or women who want to treat waste hair?

It's not cheap so it's not something anyone can use, but there were people who came to my master's store sometimes to buy it.

"So it depends on how you use it. But I wish I could change my name."

"Ha ha..., you're the first alchemist to name it"

If this is still good.

If it's easy to change, there are lots of smelters (artifacts) and smelters (potions) to change.

"If that's the reason, I know Your Highness is here... but why you're the manager, right? Even if we don't get this far, there will be other alchemists. Your Highness, is it because the manager is Master Ophelia's apprentice?

"There's that, too, but the primary reason is Nord, whom I said earlier"

"Is that Mr. Nord?

"Yep. He and I have known each other quite a long time. He must have caused you a lot of trouble the other day, didn't he? He asked me to do something about it."
