Chapter 130 Fully Automatic Elixir Making Machine
My name is Leaf Chemist.
I'm just a regular guy from the countryside.
I used to live with Master Asclepius, a pharmacist, and his granddaughter Dokuonna.
But after Master passed away, Dokuonna called off our engagement.
So, I left my hometown and joined the adventurer's guild, Divine Gemstone, in the capital city.
Now, I'm staying with Mercury-san, the granddaughter of Granny Merlin, the village head.
Living with Mercury-san, meeting people like Tai-chan the Behemoth and Aerial-san the S-rank adventurer, I slowly learned the ways of being an adventurer and the norms of the city.
One day, a faceless monster that can transform into a human attacked the capital city.
I, along with my friends, dealt with this situation.
During this process, I unleashed a hidden power within me.
I successfully made the enemy disappear, but it also revealed that I am a monster.
However, everyone from the Divine Gemstone welcomed me warmly despite this...
* * *
Together with Tai-chan, I am picking medicinal herbs in a place away from the capital city.
Tai-chan, the Behemoth, usually takes the form of a red-furred beast.
She often carries me around, like a partner.
"Come on, herbs!"
I call out.
Just by doing that, green light starts to flicker around us.
These are the green spirits.
They are spirits hidden within the plants and flowers.
My eyes are specially made, allowing me to see these spirits with my naked eyes.
I can communicate with spirits, so when I call out, medicinal herbs automatically gather around me.
Then, I thrust my hand forward and activate a skill.
"[[Prescription: Healing]]!"
The skill of a Pharmacist, Prescription.
It's a skill to make medicine using medicinal herbs as materials.
Besides Healing, if used incorrectly, dangerous substances like poison or anesthesia can also be created.
I mainly use this skill to make medicine and solve various problems... but.
"......"
"What's wrong, my lord?"
With a pop, Tai-chan transforms into a human form.
She changes into a beautiful young woman with animal ears and red hair.
"I messed up."
"Huh?"
I offer a potion bottle to Tai-chan.
She takes the bottle and sniffs it.
"! This is not... healing potion."
"Yeah, it's an Elixir."
Elixir is an incredible medicine that can heal injuries and illnesses in an instant.
"I just picked some herbs and made a healing potion. But what I ended up with was Elixir."
"So, you made Elixir from herbs... My lord, you're still amazing as always."
Hmm...
"What's wrong?"
"Well, is Elixir really that amazing?"
Tai-chan looked exasperated, muttering, "Here we go again..."
"Because everyone in the village was drinking one Elixir a day."
"Like it's just a glass of milk!?"
"Yeah. Making Elixir is easy, right?"
Even my master was making it effortlessly.
Well, Elixir is effective for injuries and illnesses, and it can ease joint pain from aging, but it can't cure it completely.
"My lord... I've lost count of how many times I've said this, but I'll say it again."
Tai-chan took a deep breath and said,
"What you call normal is not normal!"
"Uh...? Is that so?"
"That's right! Mercury-dono also mentioned it!"
"Well... that's true, I guess."
Well, for me, making medicine is as easy as moving my hands and feet.
And around me, there were only amazing people like old men and grannies.
Compared to them, I still have a long way to go.
I'm actually the weakest in the village.
"I'll work hard to gain more experience and study as a Pharmacist, and become the one who can provide a universal medicine to people all over the world!"
"But you're already a universal medicine..."
Tai-chan let out a big sigh.
"Well, shall we go for the delivery, Tai-chan?"
With a poof, Tai-chan transformed into the form of a Behemoth.
Then, I mount her.
Tai-chan kicks the ground with a bang and starts running in the air.
'But my lord... this quest is about delivering 20 healing potion, right?'
"Oh... right. Oh no, I might have failed the quest."
I only made Elixirs.
I might get scolded....
'Well, that's unlikely.'
"Why? I didn't bring what was asked for?"
'Well, you'll understand if you go.'
Tai-chan arrived at the capital city Nyiiga.
We went to the merchant guild, Silver Phoenix merchant guild, and bowed while making the delivery.
"I'm sorry! I made Elixirs instead of Healing potions by mistake!"
As I bowed my head....
The receptionist lady tilted her head.
"I'm sorry, Miss Receptionist. This child lacks a bit of common sense..."
Tai-chan, in human form, bowed apologetically.
In the end, we were forgiven!
Yay!
After completing the delivery, I returned to the guild Divine Gemstone with Tai-chan.
"Oh! You're back!"
Receptionist Niina-san rushed over to us in a fluster.
Niina-san, what's wrong?
"I want to introduce someone to Leaf-san!"
"Me?"
Together with Niina-san, I head towards the back of the guild.
There was already a crowd gathered there.
"Oh, you're here!"
There was a small boy around 10 years old.
With reddish-brown hair and a bright smile.
Who could it be...?
Not someone from the guild.
Then he looks at me and smiles.
"I'm Lauren! I'm joining this guild from today! Nice to meet you, senpai!"
...A new member is joining the guild?
A junior!
And... this time it's a boy!
Around the same age!
Ohhhh!
"Yeah, nice to meet you, Lauren-kun!"
