Nine months after being summoned.

In the last few days, after lectures, I haven't worked in the lab to create potions in a long time.

Until it's pretty late, too.

Because orders for potions came not only from the Third Knights, who are good customers, but also from the Second Knights.

I need to make double the usual amount even if I simply think about it, but I don't have any problems at all.

I make it all together, so as long as I have the ingredients, there's nothing like this.

Originally, I was able to make more potions in a day than anyone who was professionally making potions.

I also thought it was because of the high basal level and the high MP, but that's all you can make an amount that doesn't explain.

Perhaps the cause lies in the profession described in the status, but I've never spoken of it before.

I'm going to keep it gently in my chest until someone finds out.

Furthermore, I came here to live training in magic manipulation.

The time needed to make the potion was reduced.

I heard that extreme magic manipulation reduces the time it takes to activate magic, but I didn't think it would even affect potion creation.

Doesn't this affect everything that magic has to do with anything?

To the breadth of the influence range of magic manipulation, I thought the division leader who valued it was a boulder.

That's how the director came when he was putting his energy into creating potions.

Already plugged in late at night.

It is unusual for the Director to remain in the Institute until such time.

Is something wrong?

"You're trying."

"Thank you. It's a lot this time."

"Because the Second Knights are ordering from us."

"Right. Will the order come every time next time?

"Maybe. He was surprised at the performance of our potion during his last crusade to the West Forest."

"Really?

"Oh. To your potion, to be exact."

There is a curse on the fifth instalment.

Yes, whine inside.

But will orders also come from the Second Knights?

Increasingly, you're making more money for the lab.

Later, I guess I'll ask you to add some experimental material.

You just have the herb you want, right?

It's a little expensive herb, so I was holding off on buying it, but now I feel like my budget is going down.

Well, aside from that.

I went in from an unusual conversation, but I guess it's something else.

From the Director's atmosphere, which included tension somewhere, I thought so.

I can generally anticipate the content of the subject matter.

Maybe that's it.

"The use came from the royal palace today. He wants you to join him as a recovery officer for his next crusade."

"To the Director, is it?

"Say stupid. To you."

I knew it.

It's exactly what I expected.

As much as I expected to pass by and accidentally became a tear.

"Really? Okay."

"... you're so light"

"That's what I've been talking about for a long time."

"I thought you might hate me a little more."

To the director who laughs bitterly, I also laugh bitterly back.

As for the request for support for the crusade, I thought it would come one day.

It wasn't just the director, it was the division manager.

A few days ago, the division chief also said, "Maybe it's time to go to the West Forest".

The subtleties are when asked if you don't like going on crusades or not.

It's enough to say crusade, so of course you'll encounter demons.

I don't know what demons are like because I've never encountered demons before, even if I've ever been to the woods.

However, to see the tragic plight of the knights returning from the crusade of the West Forest, there is no doubt that their lives are in danger.

That's where we're going.

There's no reason to be afraid.

But it's probably the Third Knights people I'm coming with this time.

Even when we went to the east and south woods together, they protected us all the time.

I didn't run into demons, but I think the other researchers did.

They also helped the researchers at that time, but I heard later that the Knights worked well to make sure they didn't get hurt.

Again, perhaps, the knights will.

Even if I deal with them from time to time, they're just good people.

I don't think you're gonna let me suddenly stand in front of a demon, even if I'm a non-combatant, who can only use holy attribute magic.

So, I think the demons are scary, but not so much, I'm not pessimistic.

And I don't want to support those knights.

I feel rather happy.

Besides, you're very excited for the division chief to go to the West Forest.

He wants to see how the mood in the woods and my magic works.

He told me with a tremendously sparkling eye when he was telling me that he was going to be able to go to the West Forest.

I don't know, the division leader really doesn't get a bump.

Master Division isn't the only one looking forward to it.

Regardless of the crusade, I can only look forward to going to the West Forest a little too.

The reason I'm looking forward to it is medicinal herbs.

In the woods, there are herbs that are not found in herbal gardens.

Different types of medicinal herbs were also growing in the eastern and southern forests that I had been to before.

It seems that the vegetation growing from one forest to another is subtly different, and I sometimes saw herbs in the south woods that I didn't see in the east woods.

So I'm hoping that the western woods are also home to medicinal herbs that I didn't see in the east or south woods.

Nevertheless, compared to other forest demons, the demons in the West Forest seem to be strong, so I don't know if I can afford to see the herbs during the crusade.

The fellows who participate are like me, and the fellows who are familiar with medicinal herbs seem to leave a message.

The last time I went on a crusade with the people at the institute was the exception, wasn't it?

For that reason, even if novel herbs were growing, it's unlikely I'd notice.

If you look closely at the herbs, you might notice...

Let's preview the herbs growing in the West Forest before the crusade.

"I don't like it, but it sounds kind of fun."

"Huh? Really?

If I was thinking about the herbs, they'd be on my face.

The director's expression had changed from bitter laughter to sneering laughter.

"Anyway, were you thinking maybe you could find a new herb or something?

"Oh, is it broken?

"I'd love to be enthusiastic about herbs, but make your own potion."

"Is it for me?

"You're here, right? MP potion or something."

"If you ask me, yeah"

Until the director told me, I had no idea, but if I was going on a crusade, I'd have to make a potion for myself, too.

Whatever the HP potion, the MP potion is mandatory.

Even though both HP and MP recover naturally, the recovery rate is slower than when drinking potion.

Sometimes you won't be able to wait and relax in an emergency of crusade or something.

All right, I'm accomplishing the norm today, and would you like to make a little potion for yourself?

Even though it's late at night, it's still early to finish compared to when I worked in Japan.

Thus, even after the Director had returned, he encouraged him to make potions.
