Two men and a woman in the alchemy room in the basement.
I reached behind Mizzella and gently laid my hand on top of his, hand on hand.

''I'm ... a little scared.''
I'm fine. Come on, relax. Let's go...
Don't just move me around...
It won't start otherwise. See, it's starting to sink in.

As I rubbed the inner walls with the hard stick, they gradually began to become juicy.

''Wha........what do I do?''
The first thing you have to do is give yourself over to the body and get used to the feeling.
Okay, okay. Well ... since it's your first time, could you just be gentle with me, please?
I know. I'm used to it, so don't worry.

That said, I continue to rub against Mizella with a manly effort as I touch her.

''A little rough...isn't it?''
It's better this way. Just trust me.
'Already ... you're a liar. I told you to be nice.
I'm sorry. But you know what? You've already started to hear the jingling.

I pull the stick out and show it to him and let him check the sound of the overflowing water vapor.

''Really ... that's amazing ... is this also alchemy?''
''Ah. That's your first step in 'dispensing medicine' in alchemy.

Misela was eager to do it as soon as she came back, so I decided to teach her alchemy as soon as possible... but first I decided to show her how to do it while I taught her.

This is what Mizera is going to do. Then pour a little water into the water and let the magic flow through it, and if it turns a light blue, it's a success.
Is it done?
''Yeah. The point is to firmly polish up the medicinal herbs to make them soak up the essence. And the amount of magic you pour into it. Next time, let's try it alone, Misela.
Okay. I'll give it a shot.

I'm so skilled at it that I can squeeze out of it in no time, but what about Mizzella, who is a beginner?

Well, I'll be working beside her while she's working on it.
Maybe, but I'll fail at first.
That's also true, if you have the skill, it will pour magic power into a potion on its own while you're doing manual work, but Miserable doesn't have the skill yet.

Besides, Mizera's control of her magic power is still poor, and her magic power itself is low and weak.
You'll need an accessory to assist you in this regard.
That's why I decided to make a simple ring or something.

''Mm-hmm.
Humming a tune is fun...
Once Misela learns to smelt, she'll know how to have fun making accessories!

I start making the accessories while watching Mizella with a sideways glance.
I had heard about Mizella's finger size beforehand, so I made a ring to fit it.
And then it's finished. Since it's a base, it only took me 10 seconds to make it.

'Hmmm. Oh, you'll have to rub more on the inner wall to get it to seep out. And if you add a little bit of water, it's easy to do, and it's easy to see the color. But only a little bit, because you won't know what the standard is.
Yes. You're really good with your work, aren't you?
'Well, I'm watching you while you get it right. You'll fail at first, but that's only if you do it a few times.
'Yes. I'll do my best.

Mm-hm. Good, honest, sincere disciple.
I'd be complaining about it all the time if it were me.
Okay, the pedestal is installed.
Now for the jewels I think I'll go for the emeralds.
I'm going to have to practice cutting an emerald anyway.

How about this?
Not yet. The medicinal herbs are sucking all the moisture out of it, so you need to squeeze more out of it. It should be crushed and lifted up so it makes a chattering sound. Now it's just poppin' around.
Yes. Okay.

Alright. Emerald cut.........
As I recall, the top surface is flat, but drop the corners and then drop them again........

How's that?
''Hmmm okay. Well then, pour the water up here, polish it up again, let it blend in, and then let the magic flow through the rest.
Yes, sir.

This is a bad idea to watch this one.
The amount of water is fine. Ah, but the amount of magic power is not enough.
This one will fail............oh, yeah. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

''........this is not good.......''
Yeah. You failed.
'Of course...'

Misela looks disappointedly at the dark green liquid that hasn't changed in color.
Even if you use the appraisal, it only comes up as 'medicinal body herb juice', so it's definitely a mistake.
Incidentally, this medicinal herb juice tastes just like green juice.
The taste of the potion is somewhat mellower than this, but it's a bit bitter either way.

''Well, it's only natural for the first shot. That one wasn't enough magic power. Next time, try pouring a little more magic power into it.
Yes. But it's hard....
Well, just make sure you get the basics right. You'll be fine. Failure is the key to success. This is something I'll use later and I'll try to do it better.
'Yes. I'll do my best.

I'm going to transfer some of Mizella's failures to the beaker.
There will be a lot of failures in this beaker from now on, but I have to save this one for when I get used to it.


After this, Mizella made many more mistakes.
I squeezed the extract too laxly, or used the wrong amount of water, or poured too much magic power into it and almost fell over, or used too little and failed to do so.

The number of beakers must have exceeded 10.
While wiping the sweat from her forehead, Miserable wipes the sweat from her forehead, she drinks the magic potion I prepared and tries to work again, so I stop her once.

''Fuu... what?''
'Before we do the next one yes this one. It's done, now put it on.

"Green Jade Silver Ring: Increased Magic Power, Increased Dexterity, Auto Magic Storage.

There are three abilities.
While increasing the amount of magical power and instrumentation needed for smelting, Suidama (Emerald) has the ability to automatically absorb a small amount of magical power contained in the air.
The amount of magic power it absorbs is not a large amount, but I think it's still enough for one medium magic power potion.

''........Master?　You made one hell of a thing again with one hand....
Hmm?　Well, it's done. It would be a shame not to use it.

I took out the ring and gently tried to put it on Mizzella's middle finger, but it looked a little tight.

''Huh...?　Did I size you wrong...?
So why don't you just use this finger?
Yes. Will do.

I gave up on my middle finger and slipped it into my ring finger and it was just the right size.
Hmm. I think I made a size error when I put the base on.... I'll be more careful next time.
Well, the effect won't change no matter which finger I put it on.
There's no deep meaning to the fact that it's the ring finger of my left hand, so it's fine.

Thank you.

Miserra looked at the fitted ring many times with her hand in front of her enraptured eyes.

I've replenished the magic power, by the way. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work if you pull the magic power from there if it's not enough. I won't tell you anything, so go ahead and try it on your own.
Okay. I'll do my best.

The amount of magic power that can be stored in the Suidama itself isn't a lot, but it's still larger than the magic power that Mizzella has, so there's no need to worry about the amount of magic power with this.
Now I don't have to worry about that, as I don't have to carefully skimp on any of the processes.......
Misela is carefully following what I taught her, faithfully following what I taught her, step by step, and doing it carefully.

She doesn't try to cheat or cut corners, and seems to be concentrating on the mortar with a serious gaze, not missing a single change.

'Water ... and then I'll squeeze out some more ...'

Mizella recites over and over in a small voice and works through the details.


''So, the amount of magic I'm going to pour into this.......is that about it.......?''

Magic gathers in Mizella's hands.
The amount........yeah. It seems to be supplied by the ring, so it's not a problem.
The dark green liquid in the mortar glows and then turns to a light water color.

'....It's done...?
Yeah. Now, put it in the test tube and cover it up, or it will deteriorate.
'Oh, yes!　Uh, test tube test tube.... Huh?　Where is it!

Because it was completed so suddenly, I quickly handed it to Mizella, who was looking for a test tube she hadn't used before, and she put it in the test tube stand and slowly poured the mixture from the mortar into the test tube.

And then I tighten the cap, and....

"Recovery Potion (Inferior)

was completed.

"...phew.

After taking a breath, Mizzella looks back at me happily.
I pat her head with my mind.

I'm sure you'll be happy to see me. It's safe and sound.
"...you did it, didn't you?　I made this, didn't I?
Yeah. It's made by Mizella, all right.
'Huh... good...'

Misela clenches her small fists and shakes them in front of her chest, saying she's done it many times, and rejoices.
I know. It's understandable.
First time you do it, it makes you happy!
I know what you mean, because when I made my first potion, I was so happy too!
.........well, my potion was broken without using it.......

'Alright. Well then, I'll keep going until I learn the skill.
Yeah!

Mizzella smiles a lovely, girlish smile that is appropriate for her age.
After this, Mizzella's motivation did not wane as she continued to make potions over and over again.

The quality itself did not increase from (inferior), but I was calmly watching Miserable Miserable as she continued to make potions that looked like she was having fun.


'Right. We can still do this in the future, and why don't we just call it a day for now?
Yes. I will..... But it's too bad we're having so much fun.

Misela looks at the mortar with regret, as if she has too much motivation.
And that's when she finished making the last piece of the day.

''Ah........''

Misela let out a voice.
I thought for a moment that I was disappointed that it was over, but.......

'Eh, that?　Lie....what?
What's going on?
I think I've got the skills to do it.
What?

What did you say?

Alchemy skills. You've acquired...
'Seriously!　Ooohhhh, wow!
What?　It's real!　This can't be a dream, can it?!
'It's not a dream!　You did it, Mizella!
Oh, yeah... uh, hey.

He hugged the still dumbfounded Mizella.
I'm still stroking my head with this.

Hey, come on, you're just a little too happy.... What do you do with more joy than me?
Because that's what makes me happy.　I'm sure he'll be delighted!

To be honest, I was prepared for how long it would take.
There's a lot of things you can't teach unless you learn a skill.
That doesn't mean I was pessimistic, but I still didn't expect it to be so fast.

''Uri-uri-uri........ You talented disciple.''
'Already..... I want the teacher.
"That's a nice thing to say. Good. We're celebrating today. Do you want something to eat?　I'll make anything!

Feel free to use it!
We're celebrating!

'Oh then I'd like to have the food you made for me when I was in bed.
You mean the porridge?　Is that what you want to do?
'It's not like that. For me, it's the first delicious, warm dish I've ever had in my life...
"I see. I'll take care of it. I'll take care of it.　I'll make enough to fill you up!

As I recall, there was rice, miso and eggs.
And then I ran out of the alchemy room with a smile on my face.

"Oh, master...?

I almost collided with Wendy, who was just beyond the door, and gently supported her as she almost fell over.

'Oh, Wendy, I'm sorry. Are you okay?
Yes but where?　Dinner's ready, sir.
I'll just add a little something else to the list!　And of course I'll have dinner!

We have to hurry if dinner is ready....
We're all going to celebrate this happy day together!

*

After the master ran out of the room, Wendy-sama and I were left alone in the alchemy room.

''What on earth is going on...?''
Oh, I mean, Miss Wendy...

I'm still nervous to talk to Wendy-sama.
After all, this person........should be an overwhelmingly high ranking person with a different world to live in than us..........

Do you know anything about Mizera?
Yes, well I was able to learn some alchemy skills.
'Oh!　Congratulations, Mizella.

Wendy-sama hugs me with a bright, compassionate smile that seems to glow with a halo.
Really, Wendy-sama seems to be even more happy than I am with her husband.

'Yes, thank you. So.........well, you asked me what I wanted to eat, so I asked for that delicious soup.......''
I see.... You've gone to make it, haven't you?
Yes I'm sorry.
'It's not something Mizella is sorry for. Hmmm, Mizella looks happy.
Oh, really?
'Yes. Nice smile.

I flatten my face, but I don't know what I'm doing.
Smile........... A smile that I didn't understand until I came here, but it came out naturally........

'How is it?　Master is.
He's a strange man. Full of charm and yet a little out of place, but warm and wonderful.
'Yes. You are my master, you know.
'No!　........I don't mean.......?

A real enemy of mine... a real enemy of Wendy's!


"Haven't you made a lifelong vow (Only One) yet?
Not yet....I don't mean to...
''Hmm. Is it just a matter of time...?　If you don't mind, would you like to sneak into your master's bed with me?
Bec....

What bed?
What, Master Wendy...?
I'm caught up in the clear sensation of my own flushed face as the fantasy spreads in my head.

'Miserer!　I got it!　I made it in a hurry, but I tasted it and it was delicious, so let's get to it!
Yeah, mister!
Hmm?　What's going on?　You're red in the face...?

Face!　I wasn't back yet...
Wait, please don't look into my face.
Aaaaah, it's okay. It's okay.........

''Hmm. Let's take our time to learn both alchemy and this one, right?　What are you talking about?
Dear Wendy!

The 'porridge' we ate afterwards.......it was so good and I should have been looking forward to it, but I couldn't really taste it....
God!
