Seijo no maryoku wa bannou desu Chapter 46

Chapter 46
Chapter 46: Déjà vu

Hey friend,

I haven’t thought much about you being here.

This place is probably heaven for you.

I watched Leonhardt-san run towards us and was reminded of my former friend.

Forgive me for looking off into the distance.

I remembered things that happened a little while ago.

My friend loved muscles a lot.

There’s no words to describe how much he loved muscles……

He must have returned from subjugation because he had a lot of comrades behind him.

They were probably mercenaries, since he’d said he assembled mercenary groups.

Leonhardt-san had a splendid stature, but the people behind him didn’t lose to him in that aspect.

What was I saying?

I’m saying they’re probably macho.

People with such stature were mostly macho.

If my friend was here right now then he would be doing a victory pose.

Definitely.

Leonhardt-san reached us when I was thinking about such trivial things.

He started talking in an excited tone as he came closer, “Granny, was the potion I received this morning a new product?”

“What’s this all of a sudden?”

“The potions I received today are more effective than usual!”

“Is that so? Then that’s good, isn’t it?”

“That’s good, isn’t it……? It isn’t a new one? Then is it that? Did you give me Advanced Potions by mistake?”

“There’s no way we would be able to make that many Advanced Potions at this time, now could we?” Leonhardt-san’s shoulders dropped when Corinnsan replied bluntly.

A new one probably meant a new type of potion, right?

The potions I gave him today were the ones I made while practicing the secret recipe.

We received the order in the

evening and he said he wanted the potions this morning, so I took them from the storage at the back of the room.

From his story, the accursed 50% increase was working well this time too.

“No way, I don’t think that effect is from an Intermediate one.”

“He’s right.”

“Even Basic Potions were more effective than usual.”

“The effects didn’t feel as good as the Intermediate ones, but it was probably around the same.”

I moved out of the field and onto the road, and was surrounded by the people who came with Leonhardt-san.

They also talked about the potion’s effectiveness.

This reaction.

It feels like déjà vu.

“I said it didn’t I? I guarantee the effect.”

“Come to think of it, you didn’t make it did you granny?”

Leonhardt-san looked at me after he heard what Corinnsan had to say.

The others also looked at me.

I’ll be bothered if you stare at me that much.

Corinnsan continued while I was worrying about how to deal with this. “If you want to say it’s new, then it’s new. The potions we gave you this morning were definitely Intermediate HP Potions, but they were made with Sei’s secret recipe.”

“For real? Aren’t you amazing for making something like this in this year!”

“Wow!”

“Leo!”

“Ah, sorry!”

Leonhardt-san once again regained his energy and hit my back.

I staggered and Corinnsan rebuked him at once.

Yup, I want him to use less power.

I smiled ambiguously and Leonhardt-san looked crestfallen and apologised, “My bad.”

But secret recipe?

Actually, I made the potions that were given to him using only the ingredients that Corinnsan told me to use.

The only difference

difference would probably be the amount of magic power channelled into the potion.

My magic power was different from everyone else’s.

If magic power could also be counted as an ingredient, then in a sense it was my own secret recipe.

However, it required a lot of effort to make a single secret recipe.

Even more so if it was highly effective.

I felt really guilty that she said it was my secret recipe even though the effect was only due to the difference in magic power.

‘Cause everything else was done by Corinnsan, you know?

It bothered me, so I secretly looked at Corinnsan. She raised an eyebrow and nodded slightly.

Was she telling me it was fine?

I felt really bad about it but I didn’t want Leonhardt-san and his crew to notice so I looked down. Corinnsan smiled with just her mouth.

“You’re such a horrible guy. Keep ordering from us, alright!”

“Ah, yes.”

They didn’t notice the exchange between Corinnsan and I.

They talked energetically about potions for a while, and walked towards the castle as if nothing had happened.

Corinnsan pat my back when I sighed.

I turned to the side and Corinnsan made a face that said good grief!

“Well then, should we go to the next one?”

“Yes.” Corinnsan prompted and we decided to move onto the next section.

 

 

I greeted the people around me when I finished my work at the distillation room, and went into the corridor.

I walked towards the room that I was staying in and saw Captain-san coming from the other side.

“Hawk-sama.”

“Sei. Good timing, I was looking for you.”

“You were looking for me?”

He

for me?”

He told me that he was heading to the distillation room to look for me.

“What happened?”

“I wanted to talk about the investigation results.”

“Okay. Then… where should we talk?”

“The Knight Order is borrowing one of the rooms, let’s talk there?”

“Okay.”

We talked about what had been happening with us while we walked to our destination.

I talked about the incident at the distillation room.

That place was known as a sacred place for pharmacists, and I learnt so many things from other people, as well as Corinnsan.

The other people kept their distance from me since Klaussner-sama had introduced me as the 【Saint】, but they got used to me while I was asking Corinnsan various questions.

Rather than say they got used to me, it’s probably better to say that they wanted to hear about the Research institute so much that they couldn’t hold back.

The first person that talked to me was just like Head Magician-sama when he talked about magic; but she wasn’t the only one.

This place was known as a sacred place and most of the people here could be called mad pharmacists; their personalities changed when they talked about potions or herbs.

The lady who talked to me first, started the chain and then other people joined in.

Their questions varied greatly, but I was often asked about the efficiency of medicinal herbs that have been inspected, and about new potion recipes.

I only answered questions on the research published at the Royal Capital, the speed in which information was passed was slower than Japan, so there were things that the things that the people in the distillation room didn’t know.

They were extremely grateful when I told them that kind of information.

I was happy that they were pleased and I tried to change the topic from medicinal herbs to cooking and they got really into it.

I talked to Director-san about medicinal cooking before, and their reactions were the same as his.

Corinnsan was also interested, and asked me a lot of questions.

She said she wanted to try it once, but I didn’t know any recipes for it.

So I talked about the dishes I made in the Royal Capital and the effects of the medicinal herbs I used.

Even so, these stories were very interesting for the people in the distillation room.

Then, I became friends with the people in the distillation room while answering their questions.

Of course I asked them questions too.

I was able to gain a lot of knowledge on things that seemed useful to my research; including secret recipes.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

“Seems like you had a good time at the distillation room.”

“Huh? Yes, I did.”

“I’m glad you had fun.”

“Ah, no, that’s……”

I heard a burst of laughter next to me, so I looked up and saw Captain-san looking at me gently.

I became really passionate when I started talking about the distillation room.

I started saying technical things about potions and medicinal herbs to Captain-san, even though it was outside of his expertise.

I noticed this and became a little embarrassed.

I could feel myself going a little red. I hung my head down in shame and heard chuckling next to me.
