Chapter 49: Let’s make potions! Part 2

I mixed the magical liquid with the Curare herb’s powder.

And with a strong light the mixing was completed.

What effects does it have?

Using my appraisal skill I made sure of it’s effect.

When I did so…

Appraisal skill

[ Recovery Potion (High Grade) ]

It’s a potion with excellent recovery effect. It was created by mixing water of high purity, excellent quality of magical power and Curare herb which retains magical power. There are a lot of failures from mixing, hence the talent of long years of practice as a craftsman is needed for a successful production. That’s why it’s scarcity has made it highly valued.

Fumu, I don’t understand it well, but at least the potion that was created this time wasn’t a failure at all?

“Masatsugu-sama, how did it go?”

While I was cocking my head in confusion, Elin asked with a very interested expression.

“Ah, um, for the time being the potion that came out was “Recovery Potion (High Grade)”.”

I disinterestedly stated the truth.

“Lies… A success on the first try is amazing on itself… To think that a potion of the highest grade was pwoduced…”

For some reason Elin’s eyes were open in awe and lost her words.

N? What does that mean?

Clarissa took over the explanation from Elin because I couldn’t keep up with her and she stared vacantly.

“Masatsugu, talent is necessary for creating potions. Even for beginners making elementary potions is hard. Even more so on high grade, they’re usually not made. They are difficult where even craftsmen who’ve practiced for decades fail often. It’s good to say that for every 100 tries at least 1 will be a success.”

She said that and was looking at me with respect.

“Oi, oi surely it cannot be that grandiose?”

I objected and shook my head.

But, Elin came to her senses back and nodded a lot to Clarissa’s explanation.

“Yes, it’s as you say! Even in the Elves only the elders and ones who lived several hundred of years that can create high grade potions! And you made it just on the first try… As I thought Masatsugu-sama holds uncanny talents!”

She was saying that and was looking at me with glittering eyes.

Sigh, it seems she is the person that unconsciously flatters people.

“Hahaha, this time it was a success by chance. I just got lucky that’s all.”

I wryly smiled and replied to the girls.

For some reason Elin’s face swelled cutely.

“Oh for! It’s not done by accident! Ah, that’s right. Fine, can you please look for a bit? See what happens when I create it!”

She said that and plucked a nearby curare herb and started grinding it into the mortar. When it was done and the curare herb was in powder it was mixed with the magical liquid. Light came out for an instant and the potion was mixed.

“Now, Masatsugu-sama appraise it please!”

I didn’t understand what she wanted exactly so I shook my head and used the appraisal skill due to urging.

I did so…

[Recovery Potion {Low Grade}]

A potion with a normal recovery effect. It was created with mixing magical liquid and curare herbs. There’s possibility for skillful craftsmen to create it stably.

That is what appraisal informed in my mind.

“Low Grade?”

A potion created by the high elf Elin?

What is this?

“As I said, right? I used the same ingredients and magical liquid yet I am not able to create anything but lower grade potions. Even I who have high aptitude to make potions as an elf I haven’t been able to successfully create higher grade so far. That’s why as I thought Masatsugu-sama has really amazing talent!”

I was cocking my head in doubt but Elin for some reason was talking in pride.

Uun, why is she talking so happily about me?

It’s truly mysterious.

“I think it’s truly terrifying. The earlier higher grade potion can be sold for 10,000 giel.”

Looking at our conversation Clarissa joined in and said that.

“The item that was created casually goes for that much!?”

It could be said that the higher grade potion was created casually and without any consideration.

As expected it is surprising about the effect.

“I haven’t heard of a potion that is 10,000 giel. Truly amazing!”

“Was I of any use to Masatsugu-san with my water this time~? If so then I’m immensely happy.”

“Good grief, Masatsugu-dono is a man with just multiple talents.”

Lucia and the others were surprised.

Umu, it seems everyone to be excited about my high grade potion that I made by chance.

But, the purpose of coming to this mountain is for the girls to have nature studies(picnic).

Clearly told, it doesn’t matter whether or not I have a talent for making potions.

The most important thing is whether the girls have fun.

“Don’t mind me, everyone should make a potion. It’s fun. We’re going to the top of the mountain so let’s make potions with the herbs we find on the way there.”

For that reason I changed the topic.

“For me watching Master make potions is fun.”

“Same for me. There are dates like this going for a walk in the forest for Elves. Today will be entire… Ehehe~”

“I’m satisfied plenty with just myself making water that can be of use to Masatsugu-san~”

“As long as I am with Masatsugu-dono, anything is fun.”

“I sell the things Masatsugu makes. Thinking about it’s very fun.”

As the same from the beginning the girls answered like they didn’t have any interest in it.

Well, they are all girls after all.

They must not like doing this kind of uncouth work.

But, to go out in nature is also necessary for the kid’s mind to grow.

“To the girl that will make the best potion I will give her delicious candy?”

If that’s so I gave a suggestion.

Un, even if I say so myself did I trick them a bit too much?

I became anxious like that but the girl’s reaction was more than I expected.

The eyes of the girls lit up and started going around the mountain with each to her own.

“Oi, it’s my cheap-looking made candy. It’s not the expensive looking ones that are sold on the market.”

I thought the girls misunderstood so I informed them but

“Naturally!”

They replied that and from their words now they were even more eager and began to speed up.

Un, what’s wrong?

I shook my head and I pursued the girls who started climbing the mountain.

For that reason we were doing a picnic(mountain climbing) and proceeded in making potions.

Reaching around 100 meters Lucia found a leaf and immediately and fussily came to me.

It was a fan leaf looking like a gingko so I appraised to see and “Allegro leaf” came out.

It wasn’t poisonous so she started immediately making potions.

I was looking at the scene and gave her advice that she should grind it more finely and watch the mixing quantity so that it wouldn’t end as a failure.

“Amazing… Masatsugu is this really your first time making potions? If she follows Masatsugu-sama’s advice then it’s possible that even the novice Lucia will make her potion successfully. It’s an advice as if you lived several decades in the forest like an Elves.”

Elin who was close to her was surprised and said that.

Sigh, she’s truly a girl that gives good compliments.

She’s a terrifyingly beautiful girl so I’m very troubled.

In the future, won’t the men misunderstand something?

The husband will have it tough.

It might be fine for the envious man who will be loved by her to have trouble from it.

By the way, there’s a reason for why I am saying that she has “complimented me.”

The reason is the potion that I created was in fact just half-baked.

Because, my conscious at the point of creating the potion was actually feeling cooking.

Basically, I’m thinking of how to harmonize the ingredients and make them tasty together.

That’s why I’m sorry for the person living in nature(elf) Elin and dwarf Clarissa who praised me.

While thinking that, Lucia’s preparation was well done.

“I’ll go at it!”

With her yell she mixed the Allegro’s leaf powder with the magical liquid.

And then a little later a strong light came out.

The effect is?
