So, let's get to work today.
Lately, the new guy has made it so much easier for me to come to work much later.
Specifically, the new guy makes the portions, so I can spend the entire time on normal duties.
I can go home at a slower pace in the morning and at the end of the day when I'm supposed to.

First of all, I check the schedule for the day, and then I can lightly finish cleaning up while the meritorious newcomers are out to dinner.
As I'm cleaning, thinking that I'm a boy in these areas after all, the desire to get married comes into my face and I think about how I'd like to clean my husband's room anyway.

Unfortunately, my preference is for a manly man who not only sets the table, but also gets his hands on the food before it's cooked, so I don't have a new guy at the moment.
But I think I might like him as a normal man.
I like the fact that he greets you well and is serious about smelting.
The rest would be better if he had strength and muscle, but the world doesn't work out that way.
Besides, if I got married, I would think that we would both get in trouble with Rainrich-sama.
That was the only thing that wasn't funny.

Well, I wonder if the new guy will be back soon?
This is the kind of thing a woman can do without being noticed.


'Isn't that a horse-deer!

Solte-san, even though there's no one else, my ears are keening, so please refrain from shouting too loudly.
But still, this guy really is.....
Is he a troublemaker or a drifter, or does he have a constitution that attracts problems?
Yeah, I'm not really sure if I'm going to compete with Mr. Dardaril to buy a slave or not....
You must have taken the match in style for a woman. Yes, I know.
I know, I know, but couldn't you just settle down for a little while longer?
I was finally on the verge of undoing my broken lifestyle and now I'm back to hard work?

But then I heard that making potions has been temporarily stopped.
The reason for this is that the Pharmaceutical Guild has greatly reduced the price of (medium) and higher recovery potions, so they have a surplus of (small) recovery potions.
But every time I think about it, those recovery potions (medium) are inferior goods, right?
There was some kind of precipitation, and there was some floating matter.
But it's a recovery potion (medium).
I think it's probably just barely diluted with water.
But I don't have to tell you about it, and I'm sure you know that because you drink it on a regular basis.

So right now, the newcomer is immersed in making accessories.
Aina-san and Solte-san were there too, but I'm sure those three aren't doing anything nasty in the alchemy room.
I'm the one who cleans that place, so please don't do it, okay?


Oops, this is a surprise.
Mr. Solte has come to ask Mr. Reinrich for a price with some beautiful accessories.
I can't help but stop working and am fascinated by it.

''Brooch of silver wings tinged with magic power, agility slightly increased, heart rate slightly increased, magic power slightly increased.　

Don't tell me you've not been an alchemist for that long and you have this much skill?

I'm surprised at this guy. I knew he was capable, but it's all too soon.
Yes. And it's quite an elaborate design. I love the idea of silver wings.
You're not too bad. Can you believe this was not even a month old?
'Believe it or not, it's right in front of you...'
Well, is it expensive?

Mr. Sorte is looking at me anxiously.
Could it be that he was going to buy it from the newcomer?
But this is normal use, and I would say N700,000 NOK at the purchase price and N1 million NOK at the sale price.

It's roughly between NOK 1 million and NOK 1.5 million.
'High!　Eh, but it's still a beginner's product, you know?
''It's not much more than 500,000 Nol with three abilities. And this one is expensive because of the combination of agility and congregation rate, if the magic power was power, it would have been 2 million nol.
'Yes. The design aspect is beautifully and carefully crafted, and for a million nol, it's reasonable, maybe even cheap.

I love it. I want something cute like this too.
I don't have any sense for making accessories, so I long for something like this.

'Let's go to the alchemy room for now. I'm getting curious to see what my apprentice is making.
'Yes. I'll go with you for later study.

It would be great to see how you build it.
It's frustrating because I thought I had a long way to go to learn from the new guy, but it's kind of thrilling!

Uh ... a million knolls ... but I think I want it.
If you won't buy it, I can buy it myself, okay?
No, you can't!　I'll buy it!　I'll get it right!

Uh-oh. That's a shame.
But I did get an assist with this one, rookie.
And that one looks good on Solte-san, and I don't need agility or meeting rate.
I'd like to have magic power and state damage resistance anyway.
And then my daily hard work would be a little bit better.

When I entered the alchemy room, I saw some kind of immoral scene of a newcomer putting a collar on Aina-san!
That said, that's lovely, too.
I'm jealous of the new guy's talent for making accessories.

'So. You know, I need to ask you something...
This is your only chance.

Aww. He's a daredevil, but you're playing the game now, aren't you?
You need money, right?
That kindness is something you do when you can afford it!
Your sister is unimpressed. I hate self-sacrifice.

"Oh. You don't have it in you?　A ring would be nice for a date, wouldn't it?

Mr. Rainerich, you are very good!
Rings, rings!　The ring finger on my left hand is bad, but it's good for normal wear!
Huh?　Didn't you say you were worried about needing money?
That stuff is hazy and round and littered in the trash before my benefit!
Ehehe. I want a cute one. If I order it, will you make it as I request?

Don't be silly you can't keep up your strength.
Don't worry, it's fine. My apprentice has been working so hard, I'll share my secret medicine with you as a parting gift.

Dane!　It's me, Leet, the sound effects guy!
He took out a secret poison pill!
It's called the mad funeral potion guuuuureate!
I can tell you about the liquid extracted from Poison Flower Zsa Zsa Blanka and furthermore, until the Bounty Core testicles are dried and made into a powder, but other than that, the only other ingredients I know of are Master Rainrich.
That was egregious.
It's a poisonous grinder that flies out of consciousness and keeps doing just one thing like a mad warrior (berserker).

'Leet, don't hold them both down.
"Yes. Mr. Rainerich.

We must obey here.
If we don't, that disaster will befall us.

Mr. Riette!
'Haha. Please give it up.

See, see, I'm not as ample as Aina, but I'll let you feel my breasts on your back.
It's the least I can do for you who are about to pass away. I hope you will enjoy it to the fullest, even if it's only for a short time.

The newcomer who was forcibly drunk with the poisonous material collapsed helplessly and repeated the convulsions, and when they stopped, she stood up in front of Rainrich-sama.

''Keep making accessories until your MP is exhausted.

After telling him just that, the newcomer sits at his desk and begins to work quietly.

'Are you sure you're okay?　My lord's eyes are dead, that's what...
Even I think I've done something wrong...
It's not going to kill you. Here, when he slows down, you can give him one of these.

Saying that, I handed him 40 bottles of (medium) magic power potions.
Ughhhh........this guy is going to make me make them until morning.
It's a demon. A demon. It's Rainrich!

'Then I'll go to bed. I'll come back in the morning.

And yet, he said he was going to bed.
What a tyrannical and uninhibited attitude.
Just in time for the event, I'm going to take advantage of it.

I'll be there in the morning to see you both. I'll be here in the morning too.

They'll both be trapped by guilt and will take care of him properly until morning and I can go home in peace.
Hmmm!　I've made some money.
It might not be a bad idea to continue to do this at least once a month, to get a cute ring for this.
But the next time you two won't be cooperating, so maybe I should make a numbing potion that disappears in a short time.
That medicine would change color if mixed with tea, so shall we make a tasteless and odorless numbing medicine?

How could I make a tasteless and odorless numbing potion?
If you're a newcomer, I'm sure they'll make it for you if you ask, so let's wait until things settle down a bit.
After the ring, a hairpiece might be a good idea.
Should I prepare a slightly more expensive material for when the newcomer's alchemy level rises?
It's not a bad idea to show off your good looks. What to say.

I was in a good mood on my way home today.
Until a group of idiot men showed up to attack me on the way home.

''Um........wrong person, right?''
Yeah. That's right. Are you the Alchemist Guild's receptionist?
'Yes, but I'm not going to say anything bad about it, so can you just go home?　I'll pretend now that I didn't see it.

The big man at the front of the pack has impressive muscle tone, but his face is just not what I like.
The point is that he has muscles, but not a burly face.

You know what you're talking about, lady? You can be a little rough around the edges if you don't want to follow us, or you can be a little rough around the edges if you don't want to follow us.
Huh......... Don't hold that grudge, please?

With that, he pulled out a test tube from his sleeve.
It's my special secret potion that I keep for self-defense.

"Hey.

I slapped it directly against my feet and cracked the contents, and the liquid evaporated in no time at all, and an unbelievable amount of steam rolled up.

'What?'　What the hell did you do!
'Oh, I don't think you should smoke. Even one breath will cause necrosis of the lungs and make it difficult to breathe.

I have antibodies, of course, so it won't work.

Or is this better?　All I have to do is sprinkle it on and the meat falls off the bones.
Heeee!　Give me a break!
'Ah yes, yes. I understand. Please don't attack me again, okay?　I won't fix you up next time, okay?

With that, I take out another test tube.

'Now, if you don't want to die, please open your hands.

With that, all five of them held out their hands to me.
It's as if all five of them confessed to me at once.
Oops, we have to hurry up because we're really going to die if we don't do this.

Please inhale the smoke.

A small amount from the test tube was poured into the palm of his hand and a little smoke, or more accurately steam, rose from it and the men inhaled them.

'Huh, well if I may say so, I think you should pick a job. I don't have anything bad to say, so I recommend you stay out of this one.

Because it's me, I've cured you.
If this were Rainrich-sama, I'm sure he would not only not heal you, he would wipe out your existence without leaving a speck of dust.
Maybe they won't even give you the time to escape.

''Well then, I'm going home, but please don't follow me, okay?

You can follow me, but I can't be responsible for it.
After all, I'm never going to wake up.
Even if the smell that filled the room was poisonous, I couldn't cure it.
The men said nothing, nodded repeatedly with a cocoon and ran off to the other side.

'It's good that you're honest, but I wonder if you thought I was a pretty, normal girl. That's nice to hear, but I think that's a bit too much of a lick for quicksand.

I was in a good mood.
This is that one. Master Rainrich will take the best one, but I'll take the second best one.
This is my punishment for causing so much trouble, you know.
That much is deserved.

The next morning.
I headed to the Alchemist's Guild a little early with high hopes.

''Wow!''

I unpacked my bags and looked at the newcomer and saw Sorte-san sleeping and kneeling over the newcomer.
This girl had a tendency to dislike the newcomer, but she felt guilty about the quarry?
The newcomer is not just pale, but has an earthen complexion and is so mellow that you can't feel the spirit of a living person.
It's indeed a poisonous grinder, as expected of Rainrich-sama.

But more importantly, I was drawn to the glittering accessories that filled the desk.
They were all great gems, so great that I couldn't believe that this was the work of a rookie who hadn't been an alchemist for less than twenty days.

''Oh, you're early, Leet.''
'Yes!　I've been looking forward to it.
''I see. Well then, let's watch your apprentice grow up and look for things to do.
Yes!

Master Rainerich was also very curt, but it looks like he's having fun!
Rainrich is a woman, after all. She is not very good with accessories like this.
Now, let's follow Ms. Leinrich's example and start looking for them.

Hibiscus Brooch: "Magic power up slightly, dexterity up slightly, mind up slightly.

Oh. That's pretty good. I think I might be able to fit in.
Yes, it is. I don't know what the "I" is, but it's a cute little brooch with big flowers.

'Oh, I found a nice one.

I think Master Rainerich has found something.
He showed it to me.

"Coniferous brooch, small increase in magic power, small increase in dexterity, small increase in mental acuity.

.... this is completely upward compatible with the guy from earlier!
I don't mind.
And all I'm asking for is a ring!
As I was beginning to ransack the place again with such strength, it seems that Master Rainrich has found something again.

''Leet, how about something like this?''
Do you have anything good?

Ring of Silver Thorns: Small increase in magic power, small increase in Dexterity, small increase in Dexterity.

Wow.
I really like this one.
It's a cute design with two thorny ivy strands intermingled. The fact that they are not evenly distributed is a mystery.
I think it's a simple but intricate gem.
I feel like I got what I was looking for!
However, it would have been better if the conditional resistance was small instead of microscopic, but it shouldn't be any more extravagant.

I'll take it!
'I know, I know. I've had a quick look at it, and it's the best ring I've ever seen.

These two are roughly 3.5 to 4 million knolls.
You can't be serious.
I got in trouble yesterday and that's fine, right?　In return, I'm going to keep my mouth shut so as not to cause you unnecessary worry.

What are you going to do with the rest of this?
Hmm?　I'll buy it all. Well, if you're willing to sell.
Wow, how much by the way?
I'd say 40 million knolls.

Huh?　I'm with my estimate.
But my estimate is if I sell it myself.

Is that profitable?
'You won't get it. Well, they gave me something good, so it's nice to have an occasional treat.
That too, I suppose.

I see. The fact that I'm working with him without working is just as good as I hate him.
Well, I'll let you get to know me better this time.
Mm-hmm. He's so cute.

"Oh, good morning, good morning....
Good. You've only just fallen asleep, right?　Keep sleeping. I'll buy it for 40 million knolls when it's ready, and if you're going to sell it, tell him to sell it to me.
Okay.......... Okay..........zzzzzz.

Mr. Solte, you sleepwalked through your reply, but do you remember what you said?
But we can tell you later.
The other Aina isn't there, is she?
Are you out somewhere?

　Wow, no, this is different!
Well, how can I help you?

I don't know what the hell he's talking about, although Solte-san wakes up suddenly with her eyes fluttering open and she's rushing to explain herself to me.

'So this is different!　I'm not trying to be a knee-jerk reactionary or anything!　Um, so I'm sorry for this, how can I say it, but I didn't feel comfortable with the quicksand...
''It's good. You look like you're about to die, rookie, so I'm counting on you to keep it that way.
Yeah, that's right. You got that brooch too, didn't you?　It wouldn't hurt to thank him that much.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah?　That's right. Yeah. This is a thank you, so that's fine, hiyaah!

Suddenly, Solte screamed.
What in the world was going on?
I couldn't see him from my position.

Hey! Where do you want to touch me?　I'm sure you're awake, oh my God!
Don't be silly. It's not going to happen, is it?　Don't yell at me for every little touch in my sleep.
No, because... So accurately, huh?

What the hell is going on here?
I tried to see it, but Master Rainrich wouldn't let me see it!
But Ms. Solte's face just keeps getting redder and redder!

Come on, Leet, we have to get back to work.
'Yeah. I haven't seen it yet!
Ha!　Don't watch the rest of them do things that aren't even remotely interesting, so don't do it!
I'm not running a business.... I don't....

Well, because that Mr. Solte, who doesn't seem to be interested in the relationship between a man and a woman, has a lusty voice.
Oh, I'm almost there and I can't see it! You can't see the cloth on it!

Here's work, work. Let's go, Rite.
'Ahhh. Please don't drag me away!

In the end, I couldn't see it at all.
d*mn.
