“Ehh!? Why!? Why isn’t anyone buying my potions!?”
Sure enough, the potions didn’t sell as expected.
It’s three times the price of a fairly high-end magic potion, after all.
And since it is the adventurers and knights who need magic potions …… it seems right to have Julie sell them within the vigilante group.
Well, Julie would also have to work for the vigilante group, and I hear that there are overwhelmingly more men than women, so it would be difficult to sell the potions this time.
“Rena, let’s change our plan. Let’s have the merchants guild buy them.”
“Uuhhh. If Daddy says so …….”
Rena reluctantly agreed, and Mami, who had come along with us, led the way to the merchant guild.
It was my first time here, but unlike the chaotic atmosphere of the Adventurer’s Guild, everything seemed to be done in an orderly fashion, with all transactions conducted in private rooms.
In the Adventurers’ Guild, it was basically done at the counter, with private rooms only for special cases, so while I was thinking it was unusual, we went to the room we were shown.
“Now, you mentioned that you were selling a magic potion, but where is the product?”
“It’s this. It’s a small amount, but it recovers much more than ordinary magic potions. However, it has a little condition or peculiarity.”
“I see. Then, I will now confirm the product. [Item Appraisal]”
Ohhh, as expected of the merchant guild. They can the appraisal skill.
As I was looking at the female staff member in front of me…
“This is …… awesome. I’ve never seen a magic potion with an S-class effect before.”
“Hmmm. Isn’t it great? My mother made it!”
“I see. However, even if it’s a little, it seems to have a charm effect. A few bottles seem to do nothing, but if you drink a large amount, you will be in a charmed state, which is a problem.”
What …… So it has such an effect.
I don’t think that’s a good thing for a potion.
“I see. I’ll adjust it so that the charm effect can be removed.”
“I would appreciate it if you would do that. Also, it seems that the restoration of magic and the charm effect are only effective for women, but shouldn’t they be effective for men as well? “
“Well, the materials used are a bit special, so it might be difficult.”
“I see …… However, despite these two negative factors, the effect is great ……How about this much per bottle?”
“No, no, no, you admit that the effect is great, right? …… So it should be about this much.”
Let’s see, Rena, or rather Rei, not only makes medicines, but also does this kind of negotiation, huh.
No, well, she said she was a traveling pharmacist, and this kind of ability is necessary.
The guild staff member and Rena continued to talk for a while…
“…… Then, I’ll give you this amount of money this time.”
“I guess that will have to do. After I get rid of the charm effect, increase it a little.”
Before I knew it, Rena was holding a large burlap sack in her hand.
The bag was handed to me, and we left the guild together…
“Hmmm. I could’ve increased it a little more, but …… I still have a long way to go.”
The door was completely closed when Rena muttered in frustration.
“No, but isn’t this a lot of money?”
“I know, but it’s only about twice as much as a regular magic potion, you know. Even though it has such a great effect …… Well, the lady earlier might not know this, but the materials cost nothing, and the only thing it cost was the time to make it, so it’s all profit.”
I don’t know the details of the ingredients, but I’m sure it’s my stuff, the holy water that Monica and Yudit make, and some kind of herbs that Lydia grows.
“Is that not a scam-pon?”
“No, no, no, those ingredients are very precious. It’s only by chance that Daddy and the others are able to produce these things and they are usually not easy to obtain. Especially the most important one, Daddy’s stuff, can never be found anywhere else …… I collected a lot of it at Julie’s house earlier, though.”
Mami was wondering what it is, but I guess sometimes it’s better not to know.
I mean, I didn’t want to know either.
While we were talking about that, a man who was walking near me suddenly ran to my side…
“I got it …… Ouch!”
A knife came flying out of nowhere and stabbed him in the arm.
Ahhh, so he was aiming at the burlap sack that contained this money.
“Tsuki. I told you this before, but knives are dangerous, okay?”
“Um, as I told you before, I think it’s much better than being hit by Daddy.”
I found Tsuki waiting a short distance away …… and we got into another conversation that I didn’t understand.
