Hiyori and the others have finished their evolution, so Byakuya and Yuuga are next. So we'll level up with Aeon's help. Naturally, Byakuya was the first to evolve. The familiar information is flowing.

'Byakuya's level has reached 8. Evolution is possible.''

So, we're going to evolve quickly. I decided on this one from the beginning. I just checked and it was the same as Toratetsu's. Then, I evolved him into the White Tiger of my dreams.

"Byakuya has evolved into White Tiger.

Byakuya, whose form had changed, was the real White Tiger. No, it was natural since he had evolved into a white tiger, but I couldn't contain my excitement. I'm a bit of a celebrity in the mood.

Now, there's a skill I don't know about. What's sprinting? I was shown it. Apparently, it's like a skill that consumes magic power and increases speed. It was crazy fast. Probably beyond Aeon. However, in the case of Ion, it doesn't consume magic power, and it feels like it's a small turnaround.

Then at this rate, Yuu Fang also leveled up smoothly. Ion, who has been defeating Deathnia all along the way, has also leveled up. And then the info flowed again.

'Yuu Fang's level has reached 8. Evolution is possible.''

Yu Fang had already decided where he was going to evolve too, so he evolved it as soon as possible.

"Yu Fang has evolved into a white wolf.

Yu Fang's figure had turned white. His fur had also changed. If I were to compare it to an Alaskan malamute famous for dog sledding, it would be an Alaskan malamute. Or rather, that's exactly what it looks like. When I pet her, she squints at me as if she is comfortable. It's cute.

As I was petting Yuu Fang, Gale and Byakuya came over to pamper her, so we all decided to pet her, including Ion, who was trying to refrain from doing so. Please take care of me from now on.

Since I was able to clear my original plan, I log out. It was usually over lunch. Don't get too caught up in the game.


I finished my lunch and logged in again. In the afternoon, I'll try to make a HP Potion in the city. That's why I came to the Alchemy Guild, surprisingly. I got a beginner's tool in this guild. I thought there was a medicine preparation guild or a medicine maker's guild.

Now that I have the tools and materials, I asked Setia to make one right away. It was easy to make. Put the Cure Leaf into a mortar used in chemistry experiments and grind it up with a pestle. Then I filled it with water and put it into a container. This is the result.

HP Potion (Fine): rarity 1 recovery item Quality E-
Drinking it restores trace amounts of life force.

And here's one with the addition of astringent bitter grass.

HP Potion (Small): rarity level 2 recovery item Quality E
Drinking it restores a bit of life force.

Finally, MP Potion.

MP Potion (Fine): rarity 1 recovery item Quality E-
Drinking it restores a small amount of magical power.

Well, it's all good, but here's the thing. Yeah, it's a big problem.

"Mr. Tact, try it.

Yeah. Nowhere to run. Lilly's praying for me. I don't know what Aeon's thinking, and I don't know what she's thinking. Oh, this is good. Beautiful girl's homemade food. It can't possibly taste good.

Yeah, I'll have some.

It's funny. My hands are shaking. Oh, my God! A man's got balls! I'll take it!

...... Please wait a moment.

Tact, are you okay?

Lily is worried about me.

'I'm sorry!　Me!

'Oh, don't worry about it. I knew it was bad and I drank it.

Is that so?

Oh. But it's even worse than I expected. Very undrinkable. Here.

So that's still two bottles.

Do you believe in effectiveness, rarity, and dignity and drink it?

I reach for the other HP potion.

'Wait!　I'll take this one!

Aeon takes it from me and drinks it in one go. Hey, hey, you okay?
Ion's face turns blue. I cover my ears and turn my back. I feel sorry for him, because he's too sad to see or hear.

...... Please wait a moment.

''Mm, I can't... this is... impossible...''

Ion is on all fours, muttering to himself. Is he okay? Security is alive and well, by the way. But dignity doesn't equal good taste, does it?

You're both exaggerating.

Saying that, Setia drinks the MP potion, thinking that since the HP potion was bad, maybe the MP potion will be okay, but Setia's pale skinned face turns to a yellowish skin tone and she holds her mouth down with her hand. Let's do the same thing with Ion.

...... Please wait a moment.

'I can't...is...ne...kore...ha...'

Setia also joins the ranks of all-fours. This specification you can't see even though it's a miniskirt.

Now, we've all congratulated ourselves on the awkwardness of the potions, but here's the problem. There had to be a way to deal with this awkwardness from the fact that there was a medicine man like Hal and he was selling it in Beta.

The simple solution is to add something to reduce the bitterness. And the standard way to get rid of the bitterness is to add sweetness. So I asked Setia to make one with honey added, and I challenged her to do it!

'Ugh!!!!!

...... Please wait a moment.

It wasn't good. It's kind of like a combination of sweet and bitterness instead of erasing each other. It turned into a sweet and bitter drink with the worst throat-slurping taste. What do you call yourself sweet and bitter? But that's all I can say about the drink. Nevertheless, I talk to Setia about this failure.

'What's wrong with it?'

'We've succeeded in bringing out the sweetness of the honey, for one thing. Just because it didn't fit, I don't think it's the wrong way to think about it.

'I agree. If so, where's the problem?

'Is it the timing of adding the honey, or the amount of honey, or the difference between the portion and the degree of honey?　Let's try something different.

Yes!

I've had many failed attempts since then and had a terrible time, but it paid off. It still has a bitter taste to it, but I was able to make a potion that I could tolerate and drink this. Here it is.

HP Potion (Fine): rarity 2 recovery item Quality E
Drinking it restores a small amount of life force.

The effect is slight, but it is rare and of higher quality. It's easy to make: add a tablespoon of honey to the finished HP potion and mix it.

I struggled with the amount of honey. Too little and it won't work, too much and it will replicate what I made in the first place. If you didn't mix it, the drink would be bitter first and sweet last, and adding the honey first resulted in a foul odor and a step up in badness. We all vowed not to do it again because it was dangerous.

At least it was an achievement, so I'm going to log out here. By the way, Setia's skill level went up a lot.
