Chapter 48: Let’s make potions! Part 1
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
To deepen our relationship with the dwarf girl Clarissa we had threw a lemon soda party. At the height of the party Elin looked at me and “Masatsugu-sama really can do anything he tries! I’m sure that he will probably have a talent for mixing potions too?” said that.
“Potion?”
It was a word I haven’t heard before so I asked Elin to explain what it was.
“It’s a general medicine created by mixing other ingredients in a magical liquid which is magical power poured in water.”
Elin replied so in regards to the term potion.
Hee, it’s somewhat amusing.
“I think that Masatsugu-dono has a talent for mixing high-quality potions for certain. Surely to the point to set up a shop. But, if they are too big of a hit the Potion Guild will make noise probably. Discretion is necessary.”
Clarissa heard the conversation we were having and opened her mouth.
“Oi, oi why did it all of a sudden become about the amateur me making a big hit? There’s no reason for that to happen?”
I refused it with a wry smile.
“I understood from creating the soda and the mirror. From my viewpoint as a craftswoman Masatsugu’s talent is considerable. There’s certainly talent.”
She had a serious expression and shook her head saying that.
“Master is skillful with his fingers after all. I’m sure they are suitable for craftsmanship.”
“Even without the proper tools and equipment, you’ve a track record of developing a lot of commodities with those hands.”
“That’s right~ Even when he’s making food he’s extremely careful~ I think this subtlety comes from his love of the ingredients. That’s also a talent, I think.”
“He’s able to do anything from business to crafting. Truly a multi-talented man.”
The other girls joined in too.
Sigh, it seems somehow the girls got a bit high after drinking lemon soda with honey for the first time.
“Hahaha. Of course I have no such talent. But, it sounds somewhat interesting. Does everyone want to try making potions this time?”
“We’re serious here…”
The girls grumbled to my reaction.
“We want to do it!”
But they were interested in the proposal to make potions.
Fumu, then let’s do it for real.
We need to use a lot of wild herbs and we can obtain various herbs from the nearby mountain Caraville. By the way the mountain has “Fairies” living there. Also having tools like cauldron or druggist mortar is sufficient enough and the preparation is simple.
Then, the girls will also do nature study(picnic), so it’s fine.
Clarissa has the store and to concentrate on the production of mirrors but since it’s few days she’ll have time.
“Okay, do you girls want to go together with me tomorrow for ingredient collecting?”
“It’s a trip with Master! I’m extremely happy!”
“I’m an elf so I know a little about wild herbs! I’ll show you good places!”
“Leave the water for mixing to me~ For Masatsugu-san I’ll bring out the highest quality~”
“I’m looking a lot to the picnic date~”
“Going to make potions together with Master, this is more than this craftswoman deserves.”
To my proposal the girls were raising their voice.
I didn’t think they would be this happy just going to collect wild herbs.
I’m sure they’re happy that they can go out and play with friends from the same age and sex.
I agreed to it like that and immediately began preparing for tomorrow.
For that reason the next morning we came to the bottom of the Caraville mountain.
We were just at the beginning of the mountain and there were already wild herbs growing around.
“Aa, isn’t this a Curare herb?”
I reflexively named the herb which I had previously studied. I didn’t even use “Appraisal”… Rather, there are way too many wild herbs that cannot be Appraised or are too unsuitable.
The Curare herb can be used as a “medical plant.” It’s appearance is like a dandelion with notched leaves and sticks to the ground. If you mix this with magical liquid then you’ll be able to make a “Recovery Potion”.
“Ehm, please show it to me! Yes, that’s right! You saw well.”
Hearing my voice Elin said that with wonder.
“Oi, oi it’s nothing to be surprised about?”
I smiled wryly at her over energized reply.
“No, there are a lot of herbs that resemble like the Curare herb. Even if you are an expert it is difficult to distinguish it from the others and it’s almost impossible for a beginner to do it.”
Elin objected with a very serious face.
“Hahaha, you’re exaggerating.”
I ignored it and said so.
Elin for some reason looked at me and pouted with a dissatisfied face.
“Mu~”
“But, Master, even so distinguishing the Curare herb is still difficult. How was Master able to understand it was a Curare herb?”
Looking at our conversation Lucia asked me with a troubled face.
I turned to her and I saw a curare herb and a similar herb being grasped in her hands.
“Yeah, that’s right, Lucia-chan!”
Lucia provided support to Elin and she rushed to her and they were both looking at me.
“This is Curare herb and if you mix it you get “Recovery Potion”, and this is a Gift herb and if you mix it you will get a “Poison Potion”. Be assured that it is not poison unless you taste it. At any rate their forms are exact? Being able to distinguish them like Masatsugu-sama is normally impossible.”
Lucia was holding the herbs and boldly explained.
“Certainly distinguishing it is difficult~”
“Rather, for me all of them look the same herb.”
“That can not be helped. Even me as a craftswoman sometimes had made the mistake of creating a “Poison Potion”. That’s why I always poison taste them before mixing potions. After that I put it in the market. Masatsugu-dono is the abnormality for distinguishing it just by glance.”
The other girls compared the herbs and gave their opinions.
“Un, that’s so… Certainly they resemble each other, but their presence is different? If you carefully look at the herbs both of their expressions are different.”
But I shook my head and said so.
“Masatsugu-sama just now did you say you understood the expressions of the plants?!”
Elin gasped surprisingly and asked as if this wasn’t a trivial matter.
“Aah. It’s kind of presence.”
I nodded a bit to her franticness.
“The elven elders also said the same thing. The elf who can understand expressions of plants has become an adult… Masatsugu-sama is already at that level…”
Elin’s eyes had respect in them and while saying that she looked at me with enraptured expression.
“As I thought, Masatsugu-sama is the only for me…”
She muttered something I couldn’t hear well.
Uumu, somehow you’re overestimating me but I can simply understand them somehow.
It’s not like I have special knowledge. I just simply could understand the Curare herb intuitively.
That’s why it’s not very special.
Well, it’s fine either way to me.
More than that the potion is more important.
Now finally that we had found the Curare herb, let’s immediately mix the first potion.
I took out the druggist mortar and I started to grind and crush the curare herb right there.
You make it finer then you should mix it with the magical liquid.
As for the magical liquid I’ll ask Shii to create water of the highest quality and Elin to pour her magical power in it.
I poured the powdered herb and stirred in it.
The magic power reacts and it is completed with a strong light.
Now, what’s this now?
I used my Appraisal skill to check the effect of my first created potion.
When I did so…
