Chapter 46: The magic potion to Revitalize

I checked the finished distilled water with the “Appraisal” skill.

Distilled water: top quality

Hm, it seems that the performance of this distillation equipment is fine. However, the efficiency is not so good because the part where the cooling pipe is originally located is not present. I did not expect it to take this long to produce a glass of distilled water.

I somehow understood why this distillation apparatus was covered with dust in its disassembled state. Perhaps it had not been used. The old lady must have been using the ordinary quality water from the well as it is, as an ingredient for her magic potion.

Probably, whether she used distilled water or well water, the finished potion would have been of the lowest quality. If the result is the same, there is no need to take the time to prepare distilled water.

“Huh, this means I need to improve the distillation equipment.”

“What’s wrong?　Did it fail?”

“ No, it worked. I just thought I could make it more powerful.”

“So you’re going to make a new magic tool. Please teach me how to make a magic tool too!”

Rosalia looks at me with a twinkle in her eye. It seems that she became interested in magic tools after I gave her the “star magic tool”.

Since she’s interested, is it okay if I at least teach her a thing or two? But first, I have to finish the task at hand.

“I understand. I’ll make a special effort to teach Rosalia how to make magic tools.”

“Thank you, brother!　I love you, big brother!”

Saying that, Rosalia hugged me. Yeah, this is good. I’m going to be a sis-con. After patting Rosalia on the head for a while, I started my next task.

Let’s start with the recovery medicine. Then, proceed to the next step while continuing to work on the distillation equipment.

i put distilled water in a one-handed pot and brought it to a boil, then added new distilled water to it and lowered the temperature a little. Once it has dropped, I added the herbs that were crushed earlier and heated, being careful not to boil them.

The solution gradually takes on a greenish color.

“Brother, what are you making?”

“This is, you see, an elementary recovery medicine. It heals not only abrasions, but also deep wounds.”

“Does it taste good?”

“Hmm, do you want to taste it?”

“Then it’s better to be delicious!”

I see. I see. You want it to taste good? In that case, I’ll add a little effort to make it like an easy-to-drink soft drink. The color is a bit off, though.

Once the heat is turned off, I filter the water to remove impurities.

Then put it back in the one-handed pot again and add a little bit of hackberry while keeping the heat on low. Then I add sugar and salt to taste for sweetness.

I tasted it many times and adjusted the taste carefully.

“Okay, that should do the trick.”

Elementary recovery medicine: high quality, refreshing, slightly sweet.

The Appraisal results also looked good. Now we will decide whether to adopt it in earnest after hearing the evaluation of the knights who drank it.

“Brother, I’d like to taste it too.”

“Just a little bit.”

I let her take a sip with a spoon. It would be an indirect kiss, but Rosalia probably doesn’t mind. It’s okay, right?

“It’s kind of refreshing.”

“Was it easy to drink?”

“Yes.”

Hm, it seems that we have created an elementary recovery medicine that even children can easily take. It might be a good idea to market it for children in the future.

The next step was to make a new magic potion. The ingredients were various spices procured at the kitchen. There are also ingredients that can be used as ingredients for magic potions.

The one I am planning to make this time is a stamina recovery potion. In the game, it was an essential item, but it seems that it is not available in this world.

When I asked Lionel about it, he said, “I have never heard of such a magic potion.” It would be so convenient if there were. That’s why, this time, I’m going to make that magic potion and have the knights try it out.

I put distilled water in a one-handed pot, added chili pepper, garlic, and medicinal herbs, and simmered them. A pungent odor emanated from the one-handed pot, and Rosalia’s face contorted.

“Rosalia, you don’t need to force yourself to observe. Stay away a little.”

“Yes.”

Rosalia obeyed me. It seemed that she had been overreacting. She was a child, so she didn’t need to worry about that. After confirming that Rosalia had moved away, I began the rest of the work.

Incidentally, my eyes were starting to hurt too, so I was using water magic to protect my eyes as I worked.

I think I’ll make protective glasses before the next time I make it. This is hard. Maybe that’s why they stopped making stamina recovery potions? And if the stamina recovery potions that I worked so hard to make is of the lowest quality, and it’s already like poison… that’s probably poison, isn’t it?

The red liquid that was somehow created is filtered and divided into smaller bottles. I Examine the small portion of clear red liquid with the “Appraisal” skill.

Elementary Stamina recovery potion: high quality, musty

The magic potion is completed as planned, but is it “musty”? Is there anything I can do about this? Let’s give it a taste. Yes, it is drinkable. But if you ask me if I like to drink it, I will have to think about it a bit.

For the time being, I have completed the planned amount of magic medicine for today. All I have to do now is deliver it to the Knights and see how they react. I wonder if there is anyone who would be willing to be my test subject.

“Rosalia, I’m done making magic potions for today. Let’s go back to the salon and have tea.”

“Yes, brother!”

When I walked out into the hallway with the crate of finished potions in my arms, Lionel was standing there. He seemed to be watching to make sure no one came in.

Lionel immediately took the crate I was carrying. I have to admit, that was a big help. Rosalia wanted to hold my hand.

“Julius-sama, what’s inside this wooden box?”

“of course, it’s a gift for the Knights. I will explain after tea time, so please don’t drink until then.”

“Yes, sir.”

Lionel walked us to the salon and then carried the crate toward the knights’ quarters.
