Extra Chapter 01 – Honeydew of the Moonlight Flower
Eternal Magia world is divided into four seasons. I was born in 1st of April ---- it was the date of birth that I use when filling the form when I was registering for the game all those years ago. In the game, 1st of April is an event day when a quest to hunt a strong event boss named [The Liar Clown] got released. That boss is just too strong like it was literally a prank that the game developer serves to the player and the player can only smile bitterly facing that clown.
My birthday had pa.s.sed and it is now in the middle of April.
After the event where I subjugate the goblin that had injured Deen’s dad, Deen’s dad says his thanks to my dad instead of me. My potion seems to be effective so Deen’s dad’s injuries have now recovered perfectly and he can start working again.
Just by making healing potion won’t give much increase in experience to my [Pharmacy] skill. So there, from using the skill that I learned when [Pharmacy] skill reaches level 30, the action skill [Drug Experiment], I managed to experiment in creating medicines that has a high difficulty level to produce. With this skill, I can create any medicine that I can’t create yet or have a high failing chance when using the active skill [Potion Creation] by challenging an experiment to create it. Well, it might sound somewhat difficult but actually, if I use the right ingredient, I will succeed my experiment challenge most of the time.
“Hiroto-chan, what are you going to do by collecting all this expensive medicine ingredient?”
Meruone-san, the daughter of the grocery shop, is a well-known figure amongst this city merchant so she is quite informed when any bargain items or items that I wanted enter the city so I ask her to keep me informed for that.
And the thing that I ask her is mostly medicine ingredient that can’t be gathered in the area around Mizell town. Of course because the rarity of those ingredients are quite high, I had to pay a lot for those ingredients but because I complete many quest daily, this expenses is not a big problem for me.
“I-I was thinking of making medicine together with my mom……”
“You are only a two years old kid and yet you have already started helping making potion… If people know about this, they would first get astonished I bet……”
Meruone-san fix her gla.s.ses position while smiling bitterly toward this little wonder. She who is now 19 years old had also grown much in this last 2 years into the intellectual kind of beautiful girl because of her gla.s.ses. Of course I actually made the potion by myself but just in case, I need to make that a secret.
From my frequent exchange with her, at last I managed to somehow communicate with her normally. My manner of speaking is still somewhat rude and indifferent but I hope I can fix it by the pa.s.sing times.
By the way, I called her [Meru-neesan]. I called the active Monica-san with a [neechan] while I called the gentle Meruone-san with a [neesan]…… it was just something connected to my preference so there isn’t any special meaning behind it.
“Meru-neesan also, don’t you have any medicine that you want to make…….?”
“Umm~, what I want now is…… for the time being, maybe a medicine that can make my reading speed increases?”
Hmm, with the ingredient that I have in hand, I can create a [Fast Reading Potion] for her. While I still retain my memory from my previous life, I hastily write down all recipes and other important things in a parchment before forgetting it so I can create almost all kind of medicine given that I have the ingredient.
“Nnn…... W-what is it?”
When I come back to my sense, I see Meru-neesan gazing fixedly at me. With a rosy smile, she moves her gaze toward the store front door. When she confirmed that there is n.o.body else here, she put her finger in her lips… d-d.a.m.n s.e.xy……
If things had reaches this way, not even feigning ignorance would help me. This is the karma that I had piled up from the time when I was still a baby. It was also my ascetic practice to achieve purification and enlightenment…… Wait, what are you saying me?
“…… If I say that I want a medicine that would make Hiroto-chan to be fallen head over heels to then, what would you do?”
“W-what would I do… that…… are you for real?”
“What are you saying so late in the game? …… ever since you are still a baby, haven’t you done many unspeakable things to me who still hadn’t yet understand things?......”
“T-that was…… Uu”
(Even if I do want the [Merchant] skill, I should’ve restrained myself a bit…... But if it was all there to this then there might still be a way out……)
Even after I receive breastfeed from her for over 45 times, Meruone-san affection toward me are only in the level of [Highly Favorable]. If she is not under the effect of charm, she would only find me as an amicable person at most.
But because I keep ordering things to her under the pretense that my mother wants them, she seems to realize that I was different from any other kids and that my intelligence is quite high. And because of this realization, her att.i.tude towards him started to changes gradually. One of concrete proof is that, she talks about the past happenings quite frequent lately.
Such talks like how he was very cute as a baby or asking him whether he misses his mother breast or not, those kinds of talks.
I don’t understand why she ask such question at first but at last I understand that she was trying to spoil me with her own unique way. It seems like my shota appearance which is equal to a five years old in earth is highly favorable to her.
“I’m a bad person aren’t I?...... By now, it has deeply ingrained within my body. And I would feel extremely happy every time you come visit me”
“Wa Tha……”
Meru-neesan hugs me suddenly. A personality that is different from Monica-neechan, the graceful traits that an intelligent type girl has…… To be honest, I don’t hate it at all.
In term of sizes, her breast doesn’t have a high rank for a sommelier like me but these two years had crazily boost her [Motherhood] skill that is also reflected in her breast size! Well, strictly speaking it was because of what I’ve done to her but yeah, good things come around.
“When Remilia-san brought you here for the first time…… I really thought of you as an awkward but cute baby boy”
“…… Err……”
She looks at me with feverish eyes that give me a hard time to look back at her. But despite that, I still manage to extend my hand and took her gla.s.s off her. She is beautiful when she wears her gla.s.ses but she is even cuter when she took it off. She really is like some typical manga character.
Beside she is cuter with her gla.s.ses off, taking it off is also the signal for us to start. What is starting? Well if it was for me, it was a time that comes multiple times in a day, a time which I can’t easily let other people know…...
(My life points are already full so it won’t regenerate anymore but…… I had realized it after all so there’s no helping it)
When I got breastfed by women when I’m still a baby, I realized that I could receive experience this way, with only as simply drinking women breast milk.
Even if it was said as a skinship, grown up women won’t casually let men touch their breast freely, even more drinking the women breast milk. So because of that, I need to keep my milk time in secret which is kinda troublesome but ---- the experience that I got from it is very efficient in leveling up my skills so I simply can’t think of giving it up.
“There should be no costumer coming around this time so…… even going to the back won’t be a problem”
“…………”
I don’t know how to reply her. How can I? On top of having these secret affairs in the dark, I also started to build my own friendship circle with kids my age. No matter how one think I really am an immoral beast. I pretend to be innocent child while playing around with Riona and the other kid while I also play such an adult game behind their back and with an older woman to do such…… Such is the complex guilty feeling like when I’m doing something bad that I feel from this situation. No, well, this is doing something bad……
“…… Would you go home without doing anything today?”
“N-no…… if you say so then……”
(I can’t win against the temptation of experience points)
‘If you say so’ just what is that condescending way of talk? But even with my rude way of talk, Meru-neesan isn’t angry in the slightest. She is just like an angel.
Meru-neesan is a bit look baby faced when she took off her gla.s.ses but among all the girls that I know off, she is one of the most bold.
“If Hiroto-chan is a bit more grown up, then there would be many ‘fun thing’ we could do. Too bad…… huhuhu”
“W-what is it……?”
I can only feign my innocence in times like this. If I don’t do it and instead honestly says the truth and confess that I have an interest to the opposite s.e.x…… Well, even my pretending to be innocent doesn’t seem to be effective anyway.
◇◆◇
After I received all the medicine ingredient that I bought, I promise to make [Fast Reading Potion] to Meruone-san then left the shop ---- when I suddenly got hugged from the back.
“Wa……”
“It’s been a while Hiroto boy. Thank you for always being friendly with my kids”
Elena-san…… this year she had become 29 years old. I can feel her womanhood getting more and more closer to its peak. Her long and wavy brunette hair, her v neck that boldly exposes her deep valley…… From the first time I met her, there is no change at the atmosphere she exudes at all.
“Ash said that he want to be as strong as you Hiroto boy so he is starting to train himself with martial arts. Please watch over him so he won’t do anything rash okay”
“O-okay…… I am good friends with Ash-niichan”
“Of course you must treat Stella nicely too. That kid really, because she being stubborn in hold her status as your older sister, she actually spout weird things like she want to help out in your study as your private teacher. It happened when I told her that I was a private teacher a long time ago which seems to inspires her and she said that she also want to do it”
After Stella-nee get to know me and Riona, she became very attentive when taking care of us. Because she inherits Elena-san’s genes, she should become a similar beauty like her mother in the future with her features. But Stella’s caramel brown hair is not similar to Elena-san. It seems that she inherit that hair color from her father.
“Stella is still a little girl and yet she already had such objective. Did she come to a realization that Hiroto boy is someone with a great future prospect ahead of him?”
“G-great prospect? I-I’m not that great……”
“Huhuhu…… Well, even so, I am the one who realizes your potential first hehe. And then, What are you doing today? An errand from your mother?”
“…… I’m not in a hurry, though……”
Hearing my reply, Elena-san who’ve been hugging me from the start has a sudden change in the atmosphere she exudes.
“…… I can still vividly remember that time you know. When Hiroto boy was still just a baby”
Because we are currently in the middle of public street, she didn’t talk clearly about what she really want to say but I still understand her. Elena-san who has a bold and refreshing personality is actually quite delicate in the inside. This was something that I came to know from a long time ago.
“…… If it is only for a bit then it is okay you know”
“…… You cheeky brat, when did you learn something like that? Leading a woman by her nose like this…… if Remilia were to know this, what would she feel of I wonder”
Even when she said it like she was rebuking me, she still let me go from her hug and pats me in the head. Then she leads me to come to her shop.
“I will help you [pick a new clothes]. You always been good to my kids so think of it as me returning my grat.i.tude okay?”
(So, this is the so called [adult code]…… But I also can’t say anything as an excuse for this)
After having many interaction with them since I was a baby, I kinda understand what kind of feeling the girls who have interaction with me, what their real intention they were having when coming in contact with me. Even if I was a baby at that time, an experience is still an experience after all.
I might still in the borderline of being ‘safe’ for now so I definitely have to totally stop this when I reaches 3 years old later…… while seriously thinking about that, I mindlessly follows Elena-san. When I grab her hand, Elena-san who act like nothing big happened suddenly had a small tinge of red in her cheek.
◇◆◇
After collecting enough medicine ingredients, I quickly challenge every high level creation difficulty potion in orderly manner.
LOG
- You are creating a medicine……
- You have successfully created [Fast Reading Medicine]!
Awright, by using the [Quickness Up Potion] as the base and adding [Observe Gra.s.s] into the mix I really managed to make it…… just like how I remember it. If I give this [Fast Reading Medicine] to her, Meru-neesan would definitely feel happy.
Well then, next is…… a medicine that when given to any woman NPC would make them gives out a somehow weird reply when it was inside the game. By just even that, this is one of the most demanded medicines ever. Let’s make one and fill the bottle up with my pa.s.sion as a man shall we?
(Even If I don’t make this, there are still many other medicine that can be used for grinding my skill but…… I am also a guy. And because of that ----)
LOG
- You are creating a medicine……
- You have successfully created [Suspicious Aphrodisiac]!
- Your [Pharmacy] skill has leveled up!
So it is a success eh…… Just look at this! Doesn’t this have the same color as a normal health potion? If I put it inside a gla.s.s bottle then it would definitely be hard to differentiate.
But well, I don’t really have any intent of using it. And my main objective in grinding my skill has also reached so all is good anyway.
“Hiroto~~! Filianes-sama is coming you know~?”
“Ah, C-coming~!”
I nearly forgot. Today is the day where she will come visiting the house to check on the demon sword…… It’s been awhile since I last saw Filianes-san.
Wait, what about this Aphrodisiac and Fast Reading Medicine? ...... Well, let’s just take it with me. I left some in the house before and Riona just suddenly come and drink a berserker potion without asking my permissions. It was awful that day…… Maybe I should just make some sleeping potion so she would not causes troubles and would just get to sleep instead.
Filianes-san who is now reaches 16 years old had become more and more gallant. But she didn’t bring Mar-san and Aletta-san today. It is just her alone coming here.
“Oh my, you came alone today? Isn’t this the first for Filianes-sama to come here alone?”
“Mar and Aletta are currently off duty today and they are heading back to their hometown to spend it. I also already spend one day resting in my home but after that, I decided to come and visit…… I’m sorry for intruding abruptly”
“You don’t have to be so reserved. In fact, you can come here anytime you want. Hiroto, come one get out and give your greetings. It’s big sister Filianes you know?”
“…… I-it’s been a while…… big sister”
“Huhuhu…… What is it? Why did you being so humble like this? Compared to when you are a baby, the you right now can be considered more obedient”
Filianes-san is squatting down in front of me. She is matching her eye level with mine. With that, I finally realized that she had some wound in her body.
“Filianes-san, there’s a wound……”
“Nn?...... Ah, don’t worry about this. When I was on my way here, I happen to meet an orc lord. It managed to hit me because of my carelessness but it was only a scratch wound, no big deal”
Meet an orc lord you say? …… Isn’t that monster the one who commands many forest orc as its underlings and is a few time stronger than those forest orc right!? To be able to pierce Filianes-san defense, just how strong it is? ……
But, even when Filianes-san had negative status [Weak against Orc], she still managed to beat that orc lord with only a scratch wound. Even when her status was under such debuff, her double magic sword skill is indeed too much OP for a mere orc lord.
“Hiroto, why don’t you give her your potion? You always bring some with you right?”
“Potion……? Hiroto, why did you bring potion with you? Did you get hurt?”
“N-no…… I, if it was simple, can make it……”
Filianes-san hasn’t yet to know my true strength. Filianess-san and her two escorts would always go and subjugate some monster when they are coming to Mizell town. I had offered to help them but of course, they are rejecting it.
Someday, the day when I fight together with them shoulder to shoulder will definitely come but I am still treated as a kid now. Well, it was of course very natural but I can’t help getting impatient with this current situation.
“……Is that so? Well then, why don’t I test the effectiveness of the potion that Hiroto made? I believe in you, you know?”
“Uu…… Y-yeah……!”
