Side Story 1 - Receptionist of Alchemist Guild 2

Well, let's get to work today.
Lately, thanks to the newcomer, I've been working considerably fewer, so it's been a lot easier.
Specifically, since the newcomer is the one who makes the potions, I can concentrate all my time on my regular work.
In the morning, I can go to work slowly, and in the evening, I can go home at the original closing time.

First of all, I check the schedule for today and do a light cleaning while the meritorious newcomer is out to eat.
It's a boy, after all, and as I cleaned it up, my desire to get married came out and I thought, I'd like to clean my husband's room if I could.

Unfortunately, my preference is for a masculine man who puts his hand on the table before cooking, rather than a set meal, so I don't have seemed it in newcomer at the moment.
But, as a normal man, he might be likeable.
He's solid in his greetings, and he's serious about alchemy, which is nice.
It would be better if he had more strength and muscle, but it doesn't work that way in the world.
And if we were to get married, I'm afraid that the two of us would cause trouble for Reinrich-sama.
That was the only thing I couldn't laugh at.

I wonder if the newcomer is coming back soon.
It's in the nature of women to be able to do things like this without being noticed.

[I am not horse, you know?!] (Solte)

Even though there is no one else there, Solte-san, please refrain from shouting too loudly because my ears will be tingling.
Nevertheless, this person really is........
Is it possible that troublemakers or "drifters" have a constitution that attracts problems?
What? Yes, to compete with Dardaril-san to buy slave, really....
I'm sure he looked cool for taking a fight against for a woman. Yeah, I know.
I know, but couldn't you have calmed down for a little while longer once you got there?
I was finally on the verge of undoing my crumbling lifestyle, and now I'm stuck with hard work again?

When I thought so, I heard that the potion making has been temporarily stopped.
The reason is that the pharmaceutical guild has drastically reduced the price of recovery potions (medium) and above, so there is a surplus of recovery potions (small) left over.
But I think every time, that recovery potion (medium) is a defect product, isn't it?
Something different thing is mixed in it, and there were some unusual substances are mixed in it.
But it's a recovery potion (medium), isn't it?
I think they probably diluted it with water to just the right amount.
But there's no reason for me to tell them, and I'm sure I understand because I've been drinking regularly.

So right now, the newcomer is immersed in making accessories.
Aina-san and Solte-san were also there, but I hope those three didn't do anything naughty in the alchemy room.
I'm the one who cleans up there, so please don't do that at all, okay?


Oops, this is a surprise.
Solte-san came to ask Reinrich-san about the price of beautiful accessory that she was carrying.
I stopped working and became fascinated by it...

『Silver Wing Brooch - Rise Agility (Small) Critical Rate (Small) Magic Power(Slight)』

Don't tell me he has only been an alchemist for a few days, but he is this skillful?

[This guy is astonishing. I knew he could do it, but it's too soon.] (Reinrich)
[Yes, that's right. And it's a very elaborate design. The "silver wings" is also lovely.] (Reito)
[The ability is so-so. Can you believe it's been less than a month since he started learning it?] (Reinrich)
[Believe it or not, it's right in front of you....] (Reito)
[Um, is it expensive?] (Solte)

With that, Solte-san is looking at us anxiously.
Maybe she was going to buy it from a newcomer?
However, it can be used normally, and the purchase price is 700,000 Nord and the sale price is about 1 million Nord.

[I'd say it's about 1 million to 1.5 million Nord.] (Reinrich)
[It's expensive! Well, but it's still a beginner's product, isn't it?] (Solte)
[With just three abilities, half a million Nord is joke price. And it's expensive because of the combination of small quality in agility and critical rate, if magic power has small quality, it would have been 2 million Nord.] (Reinrich)
[Yes, that's right. The design aspect is also beautifully and carefully made, and one million Nord is reasonable, maybe even cheaper!] (Reito)

That's nice. I would love to have a cute one like this.
I don't have any sense of making accessories, so I admire this kind of thing.

[For now, let's go to the Alchemy Room. I'm starting to get curious about what my disciple is working on.] (Reinrich)
[Yes. I'll accompany you for further study.] (Reito)

It would be nice to see how it's made.
I thought I had a long way to go to learn from the newcomer, and it' s frustrating, but I'm thrilled!

[Um... 1 million Nord... but I want it.] (Solte)
[If you don't want to buy it, I can buy it for you.] (Reinrich)
[You can't do that! I'll buy it! I'll definitely buy it!] (Solte)

Ah-Ah. Too bad.
But I did get an assist on this one, newcomer-san.
In addition, it seems to suit Solte-san, and I don't need agility or critical rate.

When I entered the Alchemy Room, I saw a sinister scene where a newcomer was putting a collar on Aina-san!
Leaving that aside, that one is lovely too.
I envy the newcomer's talent for making accessories.

[So, you know what? Listen, I need to discuss something with you.] (Solte)
[Just this one time.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

Uh-oh. This guy's a daredevil. You're the one who's competing, aren't you?
That kindness is what you do when you can spare it!
This Onee-san is unimpressed. I hate self-sacrifice. (TLN: I change “sister” into “Onee-san”)

[Oh. I don't have any? I think a ring would be nice for Reito.] (Reinrich)

Reinrich-sama, you're very good!
The ring, the ring! The ring finger on my left hand is bad, but it's good enough to wear normally!
What? Didn't you say earlier that you didn't need the money?
Those things are hazy and balled up in front of my profits and thrown in the trash!
Heh heh heh. I like cute ones. If I make an order, will it be made as requested?

[Don't be ridiculous... my body's getting tired.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[It's okay, it's okay. My disciple's working hard. I'll share my secret potion with you, by the way.] (Reinrich)

De-Dane! I'm Reito who in charge of sound effects!
What I pulled out was the secret potion which look give vibe of poison potion!
It's called the mad burial potion Goo-Woo-Late!
I can tell until it condenses the liquid extracted from the Poisonous Flower Zaza Blanca and then further dries the testicles of the Bounty Core into a powder, but the other ingredients are only known to Reinrich-sama.
That's so gross.
It's a poison potion that keeps doing just one person like a mad berserker with his consciousness flying.

[Reito, hold them both steady.] (Reinrich)
[Yes. Reinrich-sama] (Reito)

This is where I must obey.
If we don't obey, that disaster will befall us.

[Reito-san!] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Ah-ha-ha. Please give it up.] (Reito)

Here you go, I'm not as bountiful as Aina-san, but I'll let you feel my breasts on your back.
This is the least I can do for you who are going to die. It's a short time, but I hope you enjoy it to your heart's content.

The newcomer who was forced to take the poison potion fell down without strength and repeated convulsions, and when it stopped, he stood up in front of Reinrich-sama.

[Keep making accessories until you run out of MP.] (Reinrich)

With that being said, the newcomer goes to his desk and begins to work in silence.

[I mean, is everything okay? The Lord's eye is dead...] (Aina)
[Even I feel like I've done something really bad.] (Reito)
[He's not going to die. Here, you guys, when he slows down, let him have a drink of this.] (Reinrich)

With that, she handed us 40 magic potions (medium).
Wow...this person is going to make him work until morning.
Oni. The devil. It's Reinrich!

[I'm going to bed then. I'll be back in the morning.] (Reinrich)

In spite of this, she says she is going to sleep.
What an unscrupulous, tyrannical and unprincipled manner.
It's just in time, so I'm going to take advantage of it.

[Then, I wish you both the very best. I'll be back in the morning.] (Reito)

The two of them would hold on to their guilt and properly take care of him until the morning, and I would be able to leave with peace of mind.
Mmmm! Somehow, I made quite benefit, didn't I?
To get a cute ring for this, it might not be a bad idea to continue doing it once a month or so.
But I don't think the two of them will cooperate with me next time, so I'll make a numbing potion that will wear off in a short time.
If I mix that medicine with tea, it will discolor so should it make a tasteless and odorless numbing medicine?

If I did that, I'd be hated, wouldn't I?
If it's a newcomer, I'm sure he' ll make it for me if I ask him, so I guess I'll wait until things settle down a bit.
Next to the ring, a hair ornament might be a good idea.
Shall I prepare a slightly higher quality material for when the newcomer's alchemy level is higher?
It might not be a bad idea to take care of it. Like that.

I am in a good mood on the way home today.
That is, before the stupid men who attacked me on the way home showed up.

[Um... you're sure mistaken with someone else?] (Reito)
[Oh, yeah. Right here. You're the receptionist at the Alchemist's Guild, right?] (Random man)
[Yes, but I'm not going to say anything bad about it, so could you just leave?　I'll pretend I didn't see it now.] (Reito)

There is something striking about the muscles of the big man in the lead, but his face is not to my liking.
The point is to have muscles, but not a rugged face.

[What are you talking about, young lady? You can follow us, if you don't follow us, you can be a little rough with us, all right?] (Random man)
[Huh......... Don't hold a grudge against me, do you?] (Reito)

With that, I took out a test tube from my pocket.
It's my own secret self-defense potion.

[Ya] (Reito)

When I slammed it against the foot and cracked the contents, the liquid evaporated in the blink of an eye, and an unbelievable amount of steam rolled up.

[What is it? What the hell did you do!] (Random man)
[Oh, I think it's better if you don't smoke. If you take even one drag, your lungs will collapse and you'll have trouble breathing.] (Reito)

Of course, I have antibodies, so it wouldn't affect me.

[Or is it better this way? Just by sprinkling it, the meat will fall off the bones.] (Reito)
[Hee! Give me a break!] (Random man)
[Oh yes, yes, yes. I understand. You're not going to attack me again, are you? I won't fix you up next time, will I?] (Reito)

With that, I took out another test tube.

[Now, those of you who don't want to die, please spread your arms.] (Reito)

With that, all five of them held out their palms toward me.
It's as if five people had confessed to me at once.
Oops, if I don't do this, they will really die, so I have to do it quickly.

[Inhale the smoke as it comes out.] (Reito)

When a small amount from the test tube was passed between the palms of their hands, a little smoke, or more accurately, steam, rose from it, and the men inhaled it.

[Huh...I'll say this, but I think it's better to carefully choose a job.  I won't say anything bad, but I recommend that you stay out of the way of this one.] (Reito)

I healed them because it was me.
If this was Reinrich-sama, I'm sure she wouldn't have cured them, she would have wiped out their existence without leaving a trace.
Maybe she wouldn't even give them a chance to escape.

[I'm leaving now, so don't follow me, okay?] (Reito)

You can follow me, but I can't be responsible for it.
Because I'm never going to get up.
Even if the smell that fills the room is poisonous, I cannot cure you.
The men said nothing, nodded their heads repeatedly and ran off to the other side.

[It's nice to be honest, but I wonder if they thought I was just a cute normal girl. I'm happy about that, but I think they're underestimating me too much.] (Reito)

I was just having a good time.
This is this. Reinrich-sama will take the best one, but let's say I get the second best one.
After all, it's a punishment for bothering me too.
That much is natural.

In the morning of next day.
I headed to the Alchemist's Guild a little early with high expectations.

[Wow!] (Reito)

When I unloaded the luggage and checked on the newcomer, Solte was asleep and giving the newcomer a lap to sleep on.
This girl had a tendency to dislike newcomer, but she must have felt guilty about that...
The newcomer is not just pale, but earthy, so worn out that it's hard to feel like a living person.
As I expected, it's Reinrich-sama's poison potion.

More than that, I was fascinated by the glittering accessories that filled the desk.
All of them were excellent, and it was hard to believe that this was the work of a newcomer who had been an alchemist for less than 20 days.

[Oh my, Reito, it’s early] (Reinrich)
[Yes! I was looking forward to it after all.] (Reito)
[All right. Well, then, let's keep an eye on the development of my disciple and look around.] (Reinrich)
[Yes!] (Reito)

Reinrich-sama was also pretending to be curt, but it looks like she' s having fun enough!
After all, Reinrich-sama is a woman too. She seems to be weak to such accessories.
Now, let's start looking around like Reinrich-sama.

『 Hibiscus Brooch - Rise Magic Power (Slight) Dexterity (Slight) Mind Strength (Slight)』

Oh. It's not so bad. It may be a good fit for me.
What's hibiscus? I don't know what it is, but it's a pretty brooch with a big flower.

[Oh, there’s something good here.] (Reito)

It looks like Reinrich-sama has found something else.
She showed it towards me.

『 Needle-leaved Tree Brooch – Rise Magic Power (Small) Dexity (Small) Mind Strength (Small)』

...... Isn't this completely an upgrade from the one before!
I don't mind, though!
And what I'm looking for is a ring!
It appears that Reinrich-sama has found something again as she starts to look around again with such a strong sense of urgency.

[How about this, Reito?] (Reinrich)
[Did you find any good ones?] (Reito)

『Silver Rose Thorn Ring – Rise Magic Power (Small) Dexterity (Small) Status disorder resistance (slight)』

Wow.
This is very good.
Two thorny ivy trees intersect with each other in a cute design. That's the beauty of the unevenness.
It's a simple but elaborate piece.
I feel like I got what I was looking for!
The only thing is that it would have been better if the status disorder resistance had been small instead of slight, but I shouldn't be more extravagant than that.

[I'll take this one!] (Reito)
[I see, that's right. I took a quick look, but if it's this ring, it's the best.] (Reinrich)

These two are roughly 3.5 to 4 million Nord, right?
I'm really going to take it, aren't I?
I was also annoyed yesterday, so that's good, isn't it? Instead, I'm going to keep my mouth shut so as not to give you any unnecessary worries.

[What do you plan to do with the rest of this?] (Reito)
[Hmm? I'll buy it all. Well, if he's willing to sell.] (Reinrich)
[Wow, how much is that, by the way?] (Reito)
[I'd say it's about 40 million Nord.] (Reinrich)

Huh? That's the same as my estimate.
But my estimate is if I sell it myself.

[Are those profitable?] (Reito)
[I don't think so. Well, I got something good for me, so I guess it's good for once in a while.] (Reinrich)
[That's also true.] (Reito)

Indeed. The part where I am not working and I am working with you is just as good as it should be.
Well, let's let them be bonded this time.
Mm-hmm. This is so cute.

[Ah, good morning...] (Solte)
[That' s fine. You just went to sleep, didn't you? Stay in sleep. I'll buy it for 40 million Nord if he want to sell it, and you can tell me if he wants to sell it to me.] (Reinrich)
[Yes......I understand...zzzZZ] (Solte)

Solte-san, she's answering in her sleep, but do you memorize it well?
But I can remind her later.
There's no sign of the other person, Aina, is there?
Does this mean that she's out somewhere?

[And! No, this is different, this is not what you thinking!] (Solte)
[Um, what's going on?] (Reito)

I don't know what the hell she is talking about to say, though Solte-san, who suddenly opened her eyes with a flutter and woke up, is making an excuse in a hurry.

[That's why this one is different! I'm not giving him a lap blanket or anything! Well, that's why I'm sorry about this, it's just that he felt uncomfortable, so...] (Solte)
[It's good, isn't it? The newcomer looks like he's going to die, so please keep it that way.] (Reito)
[That's right. You got that brooch too, didn't you?　It's not going to do you any harm to thank me for that.] (Reinrich)
[Oh, yeah. Isn't it? That's right. Yeah. It's all right because it's thanks to you!] (Solte)

Solte-san suddenly shouted.
What the hell happened?
From my position, I couldn't see it at all.

[Hey, where are you touching me? I'm sure you're awake.] (Solte)
[I'm not doing anything stupid. Why would I wake up? Don't yell at me over the slightest touch in my sleep.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[No way, because, um.... Such precision, huh?!] (Solte)

What the hell is going on here?
I tried to look, but Reinrich-sama prevented me from doing so!
But Solte-san's face is getting redder and redder!

[Hey, Reito, we're back to work.] (Reinrich)
[Err. I haven't seen it yet!] (Reito)
[Huh! You can't watch the other guys do it, it's not even funny, so don't do it!] (Reinrich)
[It' s not like I'm ... Ah... I'm sorry.] (Reito)

Well, because Solte-san, who doesn't seem to be interested in the relationship between that man and woman, is making a charming voice.
Oh, I'm almost there and I can't see! Oh, I see, but the cloth on top of that gets in the way!

[Here's a job time, a job. Let's go Reito] (Reinrich)
[Ah-mm. Don’t pull me off!] (Reito)

I couldn't see it at all after all.
Damn.
