Story 5Starting from the morning, I read and compounded medicine the next day as well, ending in the morning hours.
Camilla was bitterly jealous, with "Even though it took me how many years to get to this point?"
However, Alchemy has already become level 10.
Arithmetic has also appeared on the Skill Tree, but it"s at level 8.
As for Camilla, she"d be jealous again so I kept all of THAT a secret.
With the influence from manga and anime I thought that Alchemy is the kind of thing where you draw all those magic circles, but asking Camilla, for drawing magic circles it seems there"s the Skill called Magic Circle Studies.
Trying it out, when I raised Arithmetic up to level 10, the Magic Circle Studies Skill appeared.
For now, I"ll raise it up to 5.
With this,
Level 40
Language Ability
Fire Magic Level 1
Detection Skill Level 10
Alchemy Level 10
Magic Circle Studies 5
The leftover Skill Points are 6.
To the me who went back to reading once again, Camilla called out to me, with a daring grin,
Hearing that, I immediately allocated the Skill Points and Pharmacy was level 10.
Ignoring Camilla"s voice, I made a large amount of recovery potions.
Camilla has been staying cooped up in the pharmacy so it seems she hasn"t reached level 20, and it"s gotten quite difficult to avoid wasting Skill Points.
"You, do you think it"s okay to put this kind of thing in such a crude bottle?"
"… At least use a washed and dried bottle! If you don"t, I won"t be able to accept it at all inside!"
And so, having that kind of thing incomprehensible thing said to me, I accepted a washed bottle and put the high-purity recovery potion in it.
I put it in the bag like usual and headed to the Guild.
For some reason, at that time, Camilla also pouted, "Handle it with more care!" while she sent me off.
When I arrived at the Guild, I went around to where they put out the alcohol in the cafeteria and dripped a small amount of recovery potion in the sake barrels.
If it"s a normal human or demi-human then you would only recover stamina, but if it"s a ghost terror than it should take damage.
The effect was instantaneous.
I was sitting in a chair near the reception desk, watching over the outcome.
Looking at the backside of my Adventurer"s Card, my level had risen to 57.
I entrust the recovery potion to the cafeteria"s obaa-chan, requesting her to drip a little of this in the alcohol casks if she thought that the ghost terrors had increased again.
We decided that the date would be in 4 days.
The forabbit skin seems to have already been received, so I paid 20 Notts and took it.
Returning to the Elf"s Pharmacy, I handed over 900 Notts for 6 months of rent, as well as 580 Notts for the medicinal materials, teaching, and miscellaneous expenses to Camilla.
According to Camilla, the high-purity recovery potion I made is a product where 1000 Notts would have been too cheap, so she said, "I can"t tell whether you made a profit or took a loss."
I"m looking forward to 4 days from now.
Now then, for the next 4 days I don"t have anything I have to do.
There is also no need for money, for a while.
While cleaning the pharmacy adequately, s.p.a.cing out while thinking, I decided to stick my hands into Magic Circle Studies.
It was written in one of the books I borrowed from Camilla that something called powdered magic stones were needed for Magic Circle Studies.
Magicstone powder seems to be something that"s used as paint materials, or when you need to raise your magic"s might; in this world they are circulated as such, Camilla had said.
I went out into the town to look for a paint supply shop, but the guards in the middle of their patrol around town told me that first, this town doesn"t have something like a paint supply shop, and then, if I don"t go to the capital I won"t be able to find one.
Going around the stalls, I buy as much magicstone powder as there was available.
Once I had bought 20 bags, my satchel was stuffed to the max.
By the way, the satchel that I bought at a second-hand shop is a shoulder-bag type of a greenish brown color.
Magic Circle Studies is already level 5, so I already understand the effects and theory to some extent.
If I do it in front of people and a pillar of fire lights up, it will cause a fuss.
As I thought, I should leave town and do it in the forest, huh?
It"s just, somehow I hesitate to step out of the town.
If that"s the case, should I buy armor from the armor shop?
Hang on, before that, what would my weapon be?
During the Adventurer"s Guild training I had a bad time of it, didn"t I?
In practice, even if it"s a goblin it might be able to do me in.
Giving those kinds of excuses, I gave up on leaving town.
Once again I stopped pa.s.sing guards and asked.
"A deserted house? What do you want to do in such a place?"
"Experiments?"
"Yeah, for Magic Circle Studies…"
So he said.
"No no, it"s Magic practice. For Life Magic! Actually, I want to master Clean Up, see. I"m aiming to be a butler for an estate in the future!"
"Understood! Thank you very much."
The guards who parted from me went back to their patrol.
I was going to call Magic Circle Studies "Magic Circle Formation", but I think that was a little too much "translator"s freedom" so I resisted.
I think I will post 2 Kujonin chapters to 1 Cursed chapter, so expect these in pairs. Unless something comes up, like being tired or something.>
