Today in the alchemy room I'm also in the middle of making a recovery potion with Miserra.
I don't know how many days it will take, since I have to go to Lokak, but I have to make a lot of them again and give them to her first.
Well, I'm just using 'forgeries (multi-copies)' to mass-produce them, but Mizella put her heart and soul into making each one.

'Hey, are you sure you're not going to go?'
Yes. I have a job to do.

After that, I woke up with Renge and everyone else woke up and told everyone straight away that we were going to Lokak.
Wendy sighs in resignation as she looks into my eyes, and Aina and Sorte just nod for Renge.
White was mumbling and drooling with the earth dragon and drooling and hurriedly wiping it off, so it wouldn't be a problem.
But Mizera said, 'I'm staying home, aren't I?

'I'm sure you'll wait for me if I tell you why...'
Maybe so, but you've gone to the trouble of upping the order, so I'd like to respond.
'Well, I can see that too, but...'

Misela declined to go to Lokak this time because she couldn't make extra to distribute to the Adventurer's Guild.
However, if I explain, the master will say it's fine if I make that amount, and the adventurers will give up in tears.

However, the reason wasn't just the problem of the recovery potion.

''Even if I went along with you, you would not only be useless, you would be completely hampered. I can't do that in a situation where someone's life is on the line.

I know that feeling........
That's why I've started to train my body.
However, I'm rather slow on the uptake, so I can't say it's impossible.

It's a good thing that this is our home, but if you don't use it, it will soon go to ruin. It's our precious home, so wouldn't it be better for someone else to stay behind?
I mean, yeah, that's true.
'Just the feeling of you trying to take me with you is enough. Besides....

Misela stops her work, looks up and stares at me.

"I want to say 'welcome back' to you when you get back. So please come back safely, okay?
... yeah. All right, all right. We'll all go home together.
Yeah. Don't push it, okay?　I'll be waiting for you.

Here you go.
Don't worry, I don't want to live a life of recklessness.
I'll come back in one piece.

But you don't know how long it's going to take. Don't you miss me?
''It's okay. It looks like the raccoon race kids will be eating dinner with us, and, oh, we can use the bath too, right?
It's not a problem, but...

I love it..........
I wish I could take a bath with that cute raccoon-dog girl with the fat, fluffy tail and round ears....
Taking a bath with the girl who ran away from me when I tried to brush her a long time ago with a red face....

Hmmm. The Master comes right out of your face. How do you like it?　Do you envy me?
I'm too jealous.........

When in the world did you become friends with that girl, Miserable.......
I'm sure I could get to know her a little better, too........

I'll casually tell you about the good points of your husband before I come back.
Thank you!

Yes!　Now we can make that Moko Moko more attractive!
That's what I'm talking about. I love you, Misela!
All the more reason why this one needs to come back in one piece!

And the morning of the day of departure.

"Lock up tight, okay?　Don't go around with strangers, okay?　When you handle a fire, make sure it's properly extinguished before you leave, okay?
You're treating me like a child...
''I've made sure that if you need anything, you can go to the Adventurer's Guild or the lord's house and they'll definitely help you out, right?　And I gave you the money, didn't I?
Yeah, yeah. It's okay. I've received more money than I thought I would ever receive. I wonder how long they plan to stay away for.

In the meantime, I gave him about 50 gold coins worth 100,000 knolls.
I asked Yasis to take care of it if it wasn't enough in the worst case, and I told him that as well, since I heard he would do whatever he could to pay later.

'Oh, yes. If you don't have enough, there's a gold coin in a pot with a red lid in the cupboard, okay?　And the rest is behind my bed, so you can use it as you please, okay?
'Sir, how many gold coins do you have hidden in this house...'

It's not exactly a rip-off.
If it's navel-gazing, it's in the magic space.
But somehow, someway, I somehow prepared it for a situation like this.

And be careful when you walk alone outside, because it might be dangerous.　Especially not at night, you know?
'I'm fine!　I'm with you!　I'll be following you when you go out, Misela!

Raccoon tribe-chan thumps her still small, thin chest and squeezes Mizzera in a hug.
Mmmm. You really got along well with them........

It's nice to meet you.
Yes, sir!

I stroked the head of the good girl who raised her hand to reply, and her eyes narrowed and looked pleasant, but Raccoon-Raccoon-Tribe Chan huffed and puffed and shook her face.
Perhaps she was on a mission!　I guess I remembered that.
Huh........that's cute.

'Oh, yes sir. Bed ... can I use your husband's sometimes?
Hmm?　Yeah. I don't mind.

Oh sure, my bed is the best quality bed in the house.
It's spacious and comfortable, and since I'm not here, you can do what you want with my room too.
There's nothing to see here that you don't want to see.

Thank you.
Yeah. Well, I'd better get going, but... well, there's nothing I forgot to tell you--

Ka.....

Dodo-dodo-dodo, there's a single shadow coming towards us with a rumbling sound like the earth and a ridiculously loud voice, even though it's morning.
.........one, huh? Chess-chan isn't here........

Oh, you've gone out deyes?

Even though he was running as fast as he could, Eliodarte was not distracted by a single breath.
I thought she was not good at exercise like me, but does she have surprisingly good physical strength?

The actuality of this is that you are going to be on your way to Lokak, did you have something to do?
'Oh ... that's right Deyeska!　It's a good thing you made it in time, Deyes!

The tension is so high in the morning........hey....
As I was thinking, the figure of a little girl coming towards me from the path that Eliodarte came from with a wobbly step came.


'Chess!　Hey, are you okay!
Mmmmmm........oh, Mizella.... Long time no see, long time no see, Geho!
'Don't say hello, just breathe first.
Okay, drink your water.

I took out the jug and cup I took out from the magic space and handed the water to Chess, who was in a state like me after training, and since she gulped it down in one gulp, I poured it to her again.

''Fuaah.......thank you.......''
Chess needs to be more physical. It is normal to stay up all night in chess, so you should do some running from now on.
'Why do I feel unreasonable when my master gives me a decent sermon........ I mean, my master is crazy. What do you think he's doing all through now...?
Uh... three days, Deska?
''It's five, five! I didn't sleep at all while moving, and I slept occasionally during my research, but my master was awake the whole time!
Oh, yeah?　I don't remember much of it, Deyes!

If you look closely, both of you have terrible dark circles under your eyes.....
I mean, what is it that they were in such a hurry to come from King's Landing to my place in Ain't Hale, even with the dark circles under their eyes?
I'm sorry, but I'm going to go to Lokak now........

'By the way, Master. You seem to be on the verge of going out, but have you already accomplished your purpose?
Oh, yes, I was!　My friend!　Present Day!
A present?　What are you giving me?

Seriously?

No wait, that's too awesome........
You'll be able to use magic with magic tools, what, really?
I can't even think of how to make it if I just hear the results....
I think it's so great that I don't even care if he's smugly looking over the decisive pose with his hands outstretched to the heavens.

'Oh, finally, your husband has magic!
This will make my lord stronger.
Well, my Lord has a high MP to begin with, and he's a wizard type.
Well, it's a prototype.
Still, it's an achievement that will go down in the history of mankind, but...
'Oohhhh...'
Phew. Well then ... this is for my friend.

What Eriodart took out of the magic bag was an austere black, square, old-fashioned lantern-shaped magic tool.
Inside it was a transparent round ball, and other than that... it looked like a normal lantern with a handle on top.

''It's easy to use, Daesu. You just need to fill it with the attribute you are most suited for when pouring magic power into it.
You mean like this?

I immediately put the magic power in as you said with a heartbeat.
The attribute you can put in is fire!　I still think fire is the standard when it comes to magic!

Then the transparent ball of the lantern glowed red, and something like a pale red membrane emerged from the lantern, expanding like a balloon.
And when I stopped pouring my magic power, the pale red membrane turned into a sphere and floated in the air, slowly heading towards the ground.

''Oooh........''
Success!　The name of the magic is a magical ball, a magic that embodies magic power and turns it into a sphere.

The magic sphere doesn't seem to be blown away by a small breeze, and it goes towards the ground more slowly than a soap bubble.
Oooh.........this is the first magic other than spatial magic.......
When I put my hand close to the falling magic ball, it was warmed gently.

'Wow. Hey, how powerful is this?
Hmm?　It's not there.
What?
As I said before, the magic sphere is a magic that materializes magic power and turns it into a sphere. It is not a spell that gives power or damage to the enemy. It's not a problem even if you touch it.

Touch. Oh, pudgy?　No, portly?
It feels like a soft, warm rubber ball.
If you put pressure on it, it doesn't tear and change shape, but if you let go of it, it returns to a sphere.
This is interesting.

But, you know what?　It's a great invention, you know?　It embodies magic power with attributes. And that's a very awesome, historic invention for someone with no magical aptitude to be able to do that, right?
But they can't attack, right?
Yes, but...
Oh.....
'My Friends?　
Eliodarte....

I involuntarily hug Eliodarte.
I don't care if he's an old man or not!　Awesome hug!

'Hmmm!　Yes!　It's magic!　Thank you, Eliodarto!
Oh!　YES! It was a pleasure to have you happy and it was worth the research we did as well, deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

Pang Pang and Eriodarto's good luck and a pat on the back.
It's magic, magic other than spatial magic, even if it's not a temporary order attack!
And a spell that can summon pupu-punis.
If I don't rejoice in this, when will I rejoice!

''Huh........Good for you. Master......... Phew.
Hey, chess!　Are you okay!

Chess collapses at the sight of me and Eliodarte embracing, and Mizzella catches it.


''.........zzzzzz.''
'HAHAHA....chess is still deje....zzzzzz.'
'Eliodarte?　Hey, put your weight on me, I'm sleeping!

They both collapse on the spot like a threadbare doll.
Perhaps the reaction to the several days of all-nighters was abruptly brought on by the relief of having completed their purpose.

''........Misela, can I ask you to take care of the two of them as well?''
Yes. Okay.

I still want to express my gratitude, but I also have some urgent business to attend to.
I helped carry Eliodarto to the bed on my back and prepared a nutritional supplement called "Bloodstream Runnin' Medicine", along with a letter of gratitude and a letter of departure, and we headed for Lokak.
