The Novice Alchemist's Store

After dropping off Mr. Andre, I left the store number to Lorea to start making flexible gloves quickly.

The number gathered more than I thought, so I started making it using a large alchemy kettle.

But this isn't that hard.

Throw all the necessary ingredients together inside the alchemy kettle and stir while pouring magic into it for a while.

All the ingredients melt to produce a drizzling brown liquid.

The next thing you need is a glove mould.

Wooden shape of the elbow-to-tip part with five fingers spread out.

These are two with your right and left hands.

Even so, the shape is quite appropriate because there is no need to fit the hand.

For once, he says right hand and left hand, but appropriate to the extent that he doesn't know the difference.

Dip this wooden mould into the liquid until the wrist area, then pull it up and dry for a while.

Repeating this about ten times completes the glove base.

To avoid wasting drying time, two more sets of wood moulds are available for a total of six.

I'm going to use this to make tons of gloves.

Ten times per sheet. Twenty times in a pair. 200 times for 100 pairs.

I get heartless and repeat even simple tasks.

"Mr. Sarasa, it's lunch - wow, what is it?

When I was thinking about enlightenment or something stupid, Lorea, who came to the workshop, looked on the table and raised her voice.

"This? Glove mould"

Yeah, it's a little creepy, isn't it?

Looks like human arms are growing out of the table.

"Oh, oh, is it a wood mould?... hey, this is how you make it"

"Yeah. Can you wait a little longer? If we interrupt now, we'll be wasted."

This liquid, which is a material of gloves, solidifies as soon as it is left alone.

Specifically, keep your hands on the Alchemy Cauldron at all times and not until you keep pouring magic into it.

If the magic supply is interrupted or if you let go, the material will be wasted at that point, so you have to think carefully about your magic amount and working speed and decide how much you want to make.

"That's right. Mr. Sarasa, can I help you with anything?

"Uh-huh, this, simply because you look immersed and you have a knack for it..."

By passing a little magic through the wooden mould, its magic and liquid combine into a membrane.

If you don't have enough magic, the membrane will be too thin, and if you have too much, it will be too thick.

That is, a decline in quality.

There's no way Lorea can manipulate magic in the first place...

"Oh, yeah. The gloves that are loaded there, will you spread them out over that table and arrange them in moderation?

"Got it!

I need a little help from Lorea, while she runs out of leftover liquid and goes to lunch.

Always a tongue drum for a delicious Lorea lunch and a short meal break.

By the end of the glove drying, work resumed.

Put them all together and throw them into the alchemy kettle, and do the post-treatment all at once, then just dry them off.

So the flexible glove is complete.

"... its a hassle to dry. I wonder how many the hell I could have done?

Turn your shoulders gritty, and count the flexible gloves you can, those number six or two.

In other words, I have repeated that task more than a thousand times.

"Hmm, so my shoulder hurts"

Considering that you can't expect much replacement demand just for the fairly long-lasting smelter Artifact...... maybe a little too much?

"Let's go. If you sell out as much as Andre ordered, you can recover the cost of the material."

Let's put the rest in line in the store for a fair price.

Because a new gatherer might come.

"But before that, it's dry."

Throw the flexible gloves you can into the basket and into the backyard.

Stretch the strings out and hang them there one at a time.

Six, two pairs. One, two, four.

Even my shoulder hurts, but it's hard.

But Lorea's in the store.

I can't even ask you to help me.

"Now...... last! Phew."

A lot of gloves shake on strewn strings......

"Yeah. That's pretty creepy."

There is no refreshing cakera, like when the environmental adjustment cloth is dried.

The glove itself is light brown.

"But I just have to dry it. If you're in the backyard, no one's going to see it, and it's not a problem."

Mr. Geberg fixed the walls properly, so I can't see what he's drying in the backyard from the outside.

There's nothing suspicious about it.

Safe.

- Anyway, in the evening, Iris and Kate, who came home, were going to scream when they saw the gloves shaking in the dark.

◇ ◇ ◇

I've been selling flexible gloves to Mr. Andre and the others for a while.

The number of ice tooth bat fangs brought in was increasing steadily.

Because of this, I also supplied Lorea with flexible gloves to teach her the criteria for buying ice tooth bat fangs.

Now I could value it without having to leave every time.

I used that free time to create the work Lorea had taken, the joint well sucker, and about two kinds of smelter "artifacts" for villagers to line up in the store.

The first is the "insect repellent veil" that I told Lorea before.

Quite a convenient substitute for summer, when worn, there are no bugs around it.

The artifact, an insect repellent smelter sold to collectors, rares 20,000, while this one is 2800.

Instead of a significantly narrower range of effects, it is considerably cheaper.

What you need to make this is a spiteworm being recruited on the bulletin board.

This has also gathered quite well.

Because the price is determined by body length and gender, it's easy for collectors to understand the high stuff, and it's easy for Lorea to value it.

Except for the simple things you can do.

'Cause you're an imbecile, aren't you?

In the beginning, I, too, had a pretty tight internship.

"Bounty, Bounty," he muttered in his heart many times, and managed to get through it though!

Now you can grab it normally!

... Humans, you get used to everything.

I had that experience, so I said to Lorea, 'Are you okay?' I asked him, 'and he came back,' What is it? 'Reply.

Said, "If you care about this much of a beetle, you can't live in the country."

Even Lorea, who's not a farmer, can be driven out to exterminate insects, and there's nothing wrong with the poisonless eel.

And you're right, you're touching normally with your bare hands...

That's growing up in the country. Totemotsuyoi.

Artifact, a smelter for villagers, and the second is a "cooling hat".

This is Artifact, a smelter that uses ice tooth bat fangs to cool it from head to torso.

A true savior for summer farmers.

However, it is slightly higher than the insect repellent veil, seven thousand rare.

This one needs level four against the insect repellent veil that can be made at level three, so it gets really high.

Seven thousand rare critical ratings that do not pose a problem.

Never am I outrageous.

But it was also worth it, and both smelters, Artifacts, were accepted by the villagers together and sold beefy thanks to extraordinary income.

But this is just the money I paid for Hell Flame Grizzly's fur coming back to me, right?

I think it's good that people's lives in the village are only comfortable for that amount of time, but it's a little out of line with my hope of getting some more money to circulate to the village.

I came to this village on edge, so I want the whole village to be rich.

If the villagers start to have money, my business will turn out to be a plus as well.

In the first place, because of the awareness that "the smelter" Artifact "is expensive, people from the village rarely have a chance to come to our store. Unfortunately.

This time, the insect repellent veil and cooling hat sold, probably thanks to Lorea.

To be precise, thanks to Lorea's mother, Marie.

Besides spreading the price and effect by word of mouth, I'm the one with the store number, Lorea, who I've known since I was a little girl.

Thanks to this, it seemed easy for people from the first village to come in.

In order not to miss this flow, some good way...

"Won't you think about it, gentlemen?"

Number is power. Four must be stronger than one head.

I honestly talked to Lorea and the others.

"Money, is it? This village can live without money. Your father's shop is also a gatherer of main customers."

"That's right. Most of the food, because it's barter."

As for the food we eat, I give Lorea the money and buy it directly from the hunter Jasper and the farmers, but the others barter for the most part.

It's like Dilal from the inn, Darna from the grocery store, and the village chief.

You don't really have enough cash left in the village because that little cash is also used as a tax payment? According to what I asked the village chief.

"For once, Hell Flame Grizzly the other day, it's about time we could have dried meat with that meat, so I think your father is going to sell it..."

"That meat... it's not that delicious, is it?

"Yes, unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's going to sell very high"

"It's a preserved meal. But I had to make it dried meat, because it wasn't very much, but it couldn't be treated, so I had no choice."

Ordinary meat that is only large in quantity but does not become an alchemy material.

No, if you think of it as meat, it's a little queasy, so the rank drops over pigs and such.

Even if I could sell it out, the total wouldn't be what I paid for fur.

Besides, the money you get from selling meat is temporary income, which is essentially nothing different from the money I paid.

This will not solve the problem.
