I wonder what it would be like to have a day off right after becoming a temporary teacher.
In short, today is a day off for the school.
I visited the Alchemist Guild in Ains Hale by myself and was immersed in research.

What I'm making is an aroma oil.
It is made from essential oils made from natural materials and highly volatile alcohol, and I'm currently researching essential oils.
Normally, it is produced through various processes such as crushing and squeezing, steaming and cooling, but if you use 'decomposition', which is the basis of alchemy, it is easy to create.

In order to avoid failing in decomposition, it is important to recognize what to separate firmly.
However, it is not necessary to know all of the details of the ingredients.
For example, let's say you have a bottle of mixed juice.
When you separate it, you don't need to know what is in the juice and how much is in the juice, but if you separate water from other ingredients, you will have a lump of fruit that has been drained from the other ingredients.
If you separate the orange from the other, you will get a lump of fruit with the orange missing. It's as clear as that.

So once you take the essential oil and recognize that this is what's in it, it's a simple process that the students can do.
What's more, it's more efficient than pressing or steaming to cool off the steam to get the oil, because it's completely lean.

........From the perspective of the original world, it would be a hell of a skill.
Honestly, the basics of smelting, 'decomposition', 'synthesis', and 'reconstruction', which are the basics of alchemy, are ridiculously useful and too good to use.

Nevertheless, making essential oil is easy, but the problem is the quantity....
We didn't think we would need a lot of citrus peels to make citrus oil, so we went around town to get what we could, but it was not very efficient.
We got only 15ml of essential oil from 5kg of citrus peels.
It's amazing that even this is more efficient to make it by alchemy than by squeezing it normally.

Assuming that each drop is 0.05 ml, 10 drops would be 0.5 ml to make 1% aromatic oil in 49.5 ml of base alcohol.
That means you can only make up to 30 of them from 5 kilos of material.
How many potions could be made from 5 kilos of medicinal herbs........

Of all of them, roses are the most outrageous........
Only two drops could be extracted from 50 roses.........
As I recall, the TV said it was just one drop, but with alchemy skills, it's twice as efficient!
........but it's still 0.1 ml.
The number of roses needed to make 1% aroma oil is 500 roses.
To make a more concentrated oil....

Even though the amount used for each one is small, this is not good, so I asked the Adventurer's Guild and Aina and others to gather wild flowers and plants that could be used as fragrances, but the fragrant ones like lavender and jasmine will be gathered! I wonder..........

'What do you think?　Are you making any progress?
'Oh, Mr. Leet. Yes, just in case......... But it's not very efficient.....

The reason I came to the Alchemy Guild this time instead of my home alchemy room was because of Leet-san.
I thought that if it was Ms. Leet, she would be able to give me some advice on her research into cosmetics and other products.
But he told me that I had to do my own research first, and he was right, and I began my research.

'You're right you are. Perfume is not very efficient. Besides, a perfume made from pure materials is a very expensive product. Ordinary people can't get their hands on it unless it's very diluted, you know?　I mean, would you be willing to pay your own way if it wasn't for you?

That's right.........
As a temporary lecturer, the amount of money I can spend on the school's expenses is limited.......
That's why everything he researches on his own is self-financed.
Requests to adventurers are also self-financed.

''........I don't want to discourage those guys who are motivated to do it. Fortunately, I was able to talk to the flower farmers and favored farms in King's Landing and Ains Hale, and was able to get them to give me the flowers they can't sell at a discount, so I don't think there will be any problems in the future to a certain extent as long as the things they produce get going.... ...
Still, given the anticipated demand, it's not enough!
'Yes, I know...'

As for the high-class line, there's no problem to sell to the nobility.
But when you consider the cost of living for 10 people, it's hard to make a quantity, and it's not likely to be made for the general public...?
As for the business, it's up to them, and it's my job to do something about it........

After all, should we care about what we carry?
If push comes to shove, there's always the possibility that I can process the glass and make it myself....
It's going to be a tough job for the next few years or decades....


'You're terrible, junior, aren't you? I didn't expect you to try to make a business enemy of mine...''
'Ugh I didn't mean to.......... I thought it would be different since Mr. Leet is in the beauty business.......

When I discussed this story with Leet-san, he puffed out his cheeks and said that he would do it himself first.
If you think about it, it's no wonder he's teaching a job that seems to be covered by his seniors.......

'Even perfume is a beauty, right?　I'm sure you'll add scents to cosmetics and eventually make soap and other products.
Yes.....
I'm already making soap!　
I'm so sorry!

I don't think Rito-san will be lost in the streets because of his work in the Alchemy Guild, but he's definitely making a business enemy.
The pressure attacking me from behind was slowly and gradually closing in on me, and I could feel a purple-like presence swooshing down on my shoulders and bringing my arms down.
However, that presence quickly and quickly disappears.

''........Nah. That's enough teasing, junior, shall I help you?
What?
So I'll help you. He's a lovely junior colleague. It's an act of sending salt to an eventual business enemy, but this is the junior who gave me a wonderful gift the other day. It's really hard work to have a junior who needs your help.

While saying that, Ufufufu, Leet-san smiles with her hand over her mouth.......
Leet-san is gentle as if she can see a halo.

''Actually, you know - there's a secret technique. I don't know how other people do it, but my method is a secret technique that uses very little oil to dilute the oil and only requires a moderate amount of ingredients.
Oh, oh...
And we can get a lot of oil if we have the time.
Seriously?　Such a revolutionary method...?
Yes, well. But please keep this method a secret, okay?　Tell your students that, right?　If this goes viral, I lose all my money.　
'Of course!　I'll make sure they don't tell those guys!

Let's make sure those guys are thorough, even if it means writing a contract.
An alchemist's skill is an asset in itself, and it's not normal for him to teach me that.
And yet, Leet-san is teaching me to help me.......I must repay that debt!

''Well then, if it spreads, it will be your junior's fault, you know. If you can't eat it, will you let me be your apprentice too and live in your house?
'No, no, no, no, Mr. Leet is a disciple of Reinrich's, isn't he?　Besides, Leet's knowledge and experience is far superior to yours!
I'm not really a disciple of Master Rainerich... Do you do this on purpose?
....

Quickly, I can't help but look away.
I said I would return the favor, but that would be it.
Why is there a possibility that not only the students, but even Mr. Leet is coming home!

...without help.
'I'm sorry!　It's a lie, a lie, a joke!　Yes, sir!　We'll be there for you when you need us!　We'll even have a room at home for you to stay in if you do!
'Hmm you don't need the extra years anyway, do you?　I don't mind!
I don't think so. Besides, they are about the same age..... It's true that she has the air of a big sister and is dependable, but she's a gentle, beautiful, ideal sister.

It would be ideal if I had a sister like her.
She's strict but kind and dependable, and always helps me out when I'm in real trouble....
Yeah.

"Heh-heh-heh. ........but can you say that again?
We're about the same age, aren't we?
'No, sir!　The last one!
What's your dream sister?
'You're treating him like that?　Before that!　After the gentle--!　What is it?　Payback for being so mean to me?　Didn't they teach you to be nice to girls!
Oh, she's beautiful and pretty, the perfect sister.
'Cute added!　Hi!　You're not used to being praised for something you aren't!　God!

I was tapped on the shoulder, but Riette looked extremely happy.
It seems to be as happy as the last time I gave him a souvenir.

If it's true, the people I've met so far must have knot holes in their eyes.
Wha.................... Oh, oh.........this? Everyone is weak in this........ Are you using some kind of skill that allows you to charm people with your words?　You can't bewitch your sister!　Just let your beautiful sister take care of it.

While bashing me with a bash, she holds her cheeks and writhes, finally slapping her breasts hard and shaking her tits, and finally she's not too busy to shake her tits by shaking her body.
Although I'm slightly confused by the confident expression from the high tension and big smile, I hold back so that I don't show it on my face because it's helping me.

.........Was she happy to be called so beautiful?
But it's true that the fact that he doesn't get praised for taking such good care of his beauty is probably more bearable than you might think.......


All things will be taken care of with this baby.
This... this?　This is.....
Yes. It's a slime.

What Mr. Leet deliberately took out of his chest was a transparent slime placed in a clear jar.
It was small and palm-sized, barely recognizable as slime with its small core and thin membrane.

''How can slime be useful?''
Yes. This is 'oil slime'. Oil slime is a slime that constantly sheds oil from its epidermis. Oil slime in nature is an omnivore, obtaining oil from various plants, flowers, and animal carcasses and mixing them together to mutate into something else, but this one is still innocent and untainted by anything.
'Oh, that's...'
'Yes. For example, I'll give you the essential oil of that rose. Just a drop or two will do. If you have water, it will keep for a while. Then you can put it in a glass case with water, and after some time, the oil will float in the water, and you can collect it. By the way, the concentration is 99.98% of the original essential oil.
99.98%...it's almost the same as the original.
That's right. It's not within the range that humans can perceive. However, an innocent oil slime like this child is rarely available. Most oil slimes try to get hold of nearby oil slime as soon as they are born. So I'll give you some of them, but when you use these kids, please make sure you only use really precious oils like roses.
Okay, I understand.

Sure, it's an alternative that turns out to be quite valuable.
But this will make it easier to obtain valuable essential oils, such as the ones that are hard to get a few of.
Furthermore, the structure will save the funds that would have been allocated to that, and it will also help me in buying up other materials.

If all the materials are obtained from oil slime, there is a risk of being discovered as well as the flow of funds if something happens due to the small amount of funds coming from us, so it would be more natural to allow us to make our own products to some extent Ugh.

But, it can't be a slime...
Lotion and pseudo-rubber products are like slime.

Incidentally, oil slime doesn't eat the oil it produces, so you'll have to give it new essential oil when it stops producing oil properly. If you change the essential oil you give it at that time, you can get a different essential oil. However, be careful not to mix them up, as they may mutate. Also, those kids are already trained and won't attack people, but if they don't have food, they'll die, right?
Trained?
''Yes. If others know the production process and try to imitate it, even if they get a natural, innocent oil slime, they will either escape or be attacked.
He's a demon, isn't he?

Even though she's so chubby and cute looking, she's a demon........
I can't see his expression, but as I observe him, I feel he's tilting his head back, which is still a bit cute....
I don't have a neck, though.

'Huh?　Can you train slime, Mr. Rhett?
Yeah, well. Oh, don't tell anyone about that, okay?　I can't tell you, can I?
'I know. It's enough that you're willing to give me these things. I'll have to get into the spirit for my next souvenir.

You can't ask me that much about the quirks.
But training demons....
It's possible, isn't it?


Oh, you're going to give me that again?　Then I can teach you a few more things so that the grade of that souvenir will jump up.

Thus, I listened and took notes as Mr. Leet took his cues, and I had quite a bit more to say to my students after the break.
To be honest, I would have failed if I hadn't listened to Ms. Leet's talk.
After all, I suppose it's important to have an area of expertise.
