I don't know what I'm doing.

　Wraith muttered as if he couldn't help but look at the tools lined up in front of him. A sigh naturally escapes, and I feel even more depressed.

　It was more than twenty minutes ago now that the room was raided by a drunken Lurimes. Wraith was currently in the process of making a sobering potion for Lurimes.

　As for the room that had gone into disarray, Raffy and Sylvia were tidying it up. Wraith had insisted on doing it herself, but the sisters insisted that it was their fault for not noticing something wrong with Lurimes.

　The sisters weren't likely to back down, so they asked her to clean up the mess. It was distressing for Wraith to invite guests to the house and then have them clean up.

　Originally, they would have entertained him with food by now. But reality is far from it. It's all because of Lurimes.

''I won't give my master a drink again...''

　At the very least, I can tell you that I will not make him drink in the future at all in the presence of his acquaintances. It's no concern of the Wraiths what their master may say about this.

　What you should regret is your own actions.

　By the way, that Lurimes is currently sleeping comfortably. It's a good thing that you're not going to wake him up again because we don't want him to get out of control again, but it's very annoying that he's sleeping so carefree after all he's done.

　I've thought about locking him up in the bug room, but I didn't go through with it because the room would be blown to bits when he woke up. Even now, I can vividly picture Lurimes' disheveled expression, which is extremely frustrating.

''It's like this...''

　Wraith checks the finished sobering potion in his hand, aware of the exhaustion in his voice. I can't even tell you how many times I've made this for Lurimes, who is a drinker.

　--I didn't even want to get used to it, though.

　I mutter my true feelings in my mind and put the potion down.

'That's it for the potion. The rest.....

　Wraith picked up the Linne Fruit that lay beside her. It was the one that had managed to stay safe despite being caught up in Lurimes' magic.

　The reason why I'm bringing it now is to make up for the inconvenience Lurimes has caused Raffy and the others. The bottom line is that I want to show my appreciation by giving them a gift.

'If it were true, I was going to try it out for a bit before I did it, but... well, I can't spend too much time on it.

　What I'm making this time is not a potion.

　Wraith doesn't know how to define those things, so he quickly drives them out of his mind.

　Wraith, who is feeling tired, stops thinking and concentrates on the task at hand.

　First, he peels off all the skin of the linne fruit in his hand. Then, a fresh, pure white fruit was revealed. If you're looking at it as a fruit, then eating it as it is is is the right thing to do, but this time it's different.

　Wraith throws the fruit into the pot to take advantage of certain characteristics of the linne fruit.

''Stir.''

　When the alchemy was activated, the berries in the pot were stirred as they were ground up. After a little while, the fruit completely lost its shape and became a clear liquid.

''Here ... here ... this ...''

　Wraith puts a plant into the liquid Linnaeus. The name of the plant, which emits a faint light, is called Sorsoginseng, and it is a plant that grows wildly in places where there is no sunlight.

　It is mainly found in the depths of the forest, and is also found around the kingdom.

　This plant, which emits a thin light in the dark, often absorbs a small amount of magical power from the ground and uses it as energy. Normally, it would stop emitting light after about two weeks and then slowly die, but the one that Wraith put in the pot had been specially preserved.

　Therefore, as long as the magic power does not run out, the light will not cease to shine.

　Once Wraith confirmed that the pot contained Sosogi grass, he turned off all the lights in the room once he confirmed that the pot contained Sosogi grass. Then, there is one light that shines clearly in the dark room.

''Heh ... it's beautiful as they say.''

　Wraith let out an exclamation of admiration at the beautiful indigo light that flooded from the pot, and his eyes narrowed. This is the main characteristic of the Linne Fruit. When they are made into liquid form, they emit different colors of light depending on the light source.

　That light is said to be as beautiful as a work of art, and is popular within the kingdom. This is the first time Wraith has actually seen it in person, but it's even better than he imagined.

''Alright, check done.''

　It was tempting to look at the beautiful glow in the darkness forever, but there was still something to do. Wraith guffawed and turned on the light and collected the liquid linne and sorrel grass from the pot.

　Wraith divided the liquid linne into two jars and put a small amount of holy water into them.

　The holy water has the property of keeping the magic power in place, so it can serve as a store of magic power. This goes hand in hand with the use of Sosogi grass.

　Shake the bottle lightly to mix the two liquids together, and then put the sorsoginseng inside.

　That's it.

'It worked for the first time,'

　Wraith crosses his arms and lets out a breath of satisfaction at the workmanship. But he can't stay that way forever.

　Wraith grabs the bottle and the sobering potion and heads back to the room that Lurimes had raided. When he entered, he found Raffy and Sylvia, who must have finished their work.

''Ah, Wraith-san. I've finished cleaning up.''
Sorry.

　Wraith looked around the room and muttered in admiration.

　As it should be, the last sight of the room Wraith had seen was in disrepair. That is now, the furniture is back in its original position, and all the condiments and other things that were scattered around have been put away.

　Even as a wraith, I was surprised because I didn't think it would all be over.

'Most of it is thanks to Sylvia's magic, you know.
Well, that's great, Sylvia.
No.

　Sylvia places one hand on the back of her head and has a shy but proud expression. Wraith's cheeks can't help but loosen up at her age-appropriate reaction.

'Thank you too Raffy.'
Yeah. Don't worry about it.

　Wraith thanked them both for their saintly kindness, and held out the bottle of sorrel grass in his hand.

'As a thank you, here,'
This is....
Well, I'll show you sooner rather than later.

　Wraith said, turning off the light. Then the same liquid as before started to glow.

''Wow....''

　Sylvia's face lit up with a puffy expression, and she was mesmerized by the indigo light. Raffy's expression didn't change much, but she could hear him quietly gulp down a breath.

''It's in lieu of thanks for bothering me.

　Turning on the lights, Wraith handed them both a bottle.

'Thank you!'
Thank you.
Well, it's my own fault. Well, what's for dinner?

　There would still be a little time to spare, but it was already dark outside. The sisters glanced outside and smiled a little ruefully.

'Wraith looks tired, and we're going home. We've got some nomination requests to make tomorrow.
'Thank you for your time, Mr. Wraith. I hope you get some rest.
I'm sorry to bother you.... Well then, I'll take you up on your offer.

　Wraith saw Raffy and Sylvia off to the door and exchanged a word or two before parting ways.

　Then she woke the sleeping Lurimes up from his slumber, gave him a sobering potion to drink and ate his food. I finished bathing and brushing my teeth, and by then my eyelids were heavy.

'I hope nothing happens...'

　Wraith looks at the letter from the royal family before he goes to sleep and hopes fervently that he will. For what it's worth, it's sad that there seems to be little hope since Rulimes is with him.

　At least, I hope that all the troublesome things will go to my master--.

　Wraith fell asleep, thinking of the things that would make Lurimes puff out his cheeks and get angry if he heard them.
