Chapter 458 – Recipes

I opened my eyes as I felt my consciousness settling into the avatar.
When I got up from bed, I immediately picked up a pen and wrote down the elixir recipe I heard from Liliana on paper.
It’s awkward.
It feels like it’s been a really long time since I wrote.
And that’s not in the native language, but in Panthera’s script.
“Hmm…”
My memory wasn’t as bad as I thought.
I was able to use a considerable number of elixir recipes without any prior knowledge.
I didn’t normally feel it… But seeing it like this, I felt like my head had improved.
‘It would be reasonable to think that as I strengthened my body, my brain also improved.’
I wrote down all the elixir recipes and left the room.
-Tick.
I heard the sound of wood hitting.
The Homan house I live in had a small backyard. The sound seemed to come from there.
I looked into the backyard through the window in the hallway.
Karen and Hilda were seen sparring.
Karen was holding a wooden baton, and Hilda was holding a wooden sword.
The advantage in sparring was Hilda.
I feel like Hilda is looking after me a little.
It was inevitable that Karen would be pushed out.
First, there is no comparison in weight class.
Hilda is close to 180 cm tall and Karen is less than 170 cm tall.
Moreover, compared to Hilda, Karen is inferior in experience.
It’s not like Hilda is wearing a Class A mercenary as a decoration.
Still, it’s nice to see the two sparring together.
‘Is it because we rolled around naked together? But why are Sunni and Chaos doing this? .’
After seeing them sparring, I headed to the first floor.
When I appeared in the backyard, the girls noticed me and stopped sparring.
Karen and Hilda approach me with happy faces.
“Mr. Bark.”
Hilda’s voice calling me was filled with anticipation.
“Hilda, have you learned Auror training?”
“I learned a few things, but…”
Judging by the way she trailed off, it seemed like there was no result. Well… If it had worked out, she wouldn’t be here.
For me, I can say it’s luck.
“Have you also trained in Bay Auror training?”
The Bay Auror training method was also the only Auror training method I knew. And I was planning to train them in the Beior training method.
“Huh? You mean the Bay Auror training method? That… I didn’t do it.”
The Bay Auror training method was easy to obtain.
However, it has a bad reputation.
This is because the direction appears different for each person and the growth itself is slow. However, it was also the most stable among the existing Auror training methods.
So, I trained my maids as Bay Aurors, and they were able to reach great prowess with ease.
In fact, as long as there is a cheat key called my body, the growth speed of the Beoror training method, which can be considered a disadvantage, actually acts as an advantage.
Helps to stably control rapidly increasing magic attribute.
However, it is difficult for Hildana Karen to benefit from it.
So she received her elixir recipe from Liliana.
I may not be able to just embrace it within my body, but if I borrow the power of the elixir, I will be able to easily achieve Auror awakening using the Bay Auror training method.
Once you can use Aurors, there is no problem earning a living.
The problem is the subsequent growth.
Liliana said.
It will somehow work until awakening… But after that, it will be difficult to see the effects of the elixir.
It is said that there are elixirs that are effective for knights, but they contain ingredients that are difficult to obtain even with gold coins.
I didn’t think about what would happen after awakening.
In fact, I think Hilda would be grateful just for her awakening.
“First, learn Bay Auror training methods with Karen.”
“Oh, I understand.”
I instructed Hilda to learn Bay Auror training methods with Karen, and headed to Louise’s Alchemy Shop.
There were two elixirs that I wanted to ask Louise to make.
One is an elixir that will help Hilda awaken as an Auror.
Another one is an elixir that will remove Karen’s dark magic.
“Ah! Mr. Bark! Welcome!”
As I entered the store, Louise’s student, Ronet, welcomed me.
President Louise was nowhere to be seen today.
“Still, the payment for by-products is…”
Ronette said with an apologetic expression.
“That’s not the reason today. Louise has some business to attend to.”
“Master?”
“Is Louise still down there today?”
“Yes.”
In the basement of the alchemy shop, there was something like an alchemy workshop or laboratory where Louise mainly made medicine.
I opened the small side door behind the counter.
You can see the stairs leading to the basement.
A strong medicinal scent comes from there.
As I went down the stairs, there was another wooden door.
When I opened the door… A place that looked like an alchemist’s laboratory was revealed.
A glass tube containing an unidentified creature such as an insect or reptile. Liquids of various colors contained in various flasks.
Louise’s appearance was quickly discovered within it.
Louise was sitting in her chair. And her head was tilted back so much that her face couldn’t be seen.
She doesn’t move at all.
She wasn’t dead.
Her meager chest rises and falls in a feeble rhythm.
… She seemed to be sleeping.
It is the image of a lazy owner, as if drawn from a painting, who sleeps while leaving the store in charge of a clerk.
I approached Louise, the president of Sloth.
When I saw her up close, her depravity was even worse.
Her glasses were crooked, and a clear liquid was flowing from the corner of her half-open mouth, forming a long string to the floor.
Although it was an unsightly appearance, it was worth seeing again because there was a cute girl doing it.
She looked at her face directly from above.
Did you feel my gaze?
Louise’s eyelids slowly rise.
The eyes are not in focus yet, so they are blurry.
“Huh…?”
Louise made a cute sound and looked at me with a dazed expression. And her face comes closer and closer to me.
“…?”
-Jjueup~
Louise hugged my neck and kissed me.
‘What? This surprise is…’
Without being embarrassed, I gently supported her back as she hung around my neck and explored her lips together.
– Chureup. Tsk tsk.
Their squishy tongues tangle obscenely.
My hand, which was caressing her back, naturally went to Louise’s buttocks. And she grabbed her soft flesh.
Then Louise’s eyes returned to focus, and her eyes widened.
Her dazed expression turns into one of astonishment.
“Ugh!!”
Louise screamed and pushed me away.
‘Oh my… Was it a mistake to touch her ass…’ .’
I blamed myself internally.
But I can’t help it.
It was an instinctive behavior that had already been imprinted in the soul for a long time.
“W-what are you doing!!”
“What are you doing? You’re the one who did it.”
“…”
Louise became mute with her face red.
It was she who attacked my lips first.
It seemed as if the actions she had taken in her half-asleep state were coming back to her again, and her face became increasingly heated, as if it was about to explode.
Louise clutched her head and squatted down.
(Hehe… Kku, it wasn’t a dream… Did I kiss you? Uh, what should I do?… Maybe… No… Nothing like that!!)
And he seemed to be in a panic, muttering something to himself.
I decided to comfort Louise.
“Don’t worry. I won’t report you for sexual harassment. I already forgave you. You can do it one more time if you want.”
“…”
There was no significant effect.
I felt the need to ventilate this heavy air.
The elixir recipe he brought was waved in front of Louise.
“… Hmm? What is this? Seriously, it’s a love letter?!”
“… It’s a pension recipe.”
“Re… Sippi?”
Louise is a little disappointed, adjusts her glasses and looks at her recipe.
“Um… This… Seems like a pretty high level potion… What recipe is this? Where did you get it?”
“Whew… That time was… 5 years ago…”
This is a fantasy world.
In this world where it was difficult to check facts because there was no internet, it was too easy to create illusions.
“… While traveling with my teacher, I discovered a dungeon, and after a bloody fight with the dungeon guardian, I found a precious-looking alchemy book. It was the elixir recipe written there.”
“Elixir recipe?!”
“Yes. It’s an elixir recipe that awakens Aurors.”
“This recipe is so amazing?!”
Louise looks at her recipe again with a surprised expression.
“Are you asking me to make this elixir?”
“No.”
“No?”
“Well… That’s a minor thing. Don’t you want to do business with me?”
Louise’s eyes narrow.
“How can you talk like a fraud?”
“Uh huh… You’re a fraud! I guess I’ll have to go to another alchemist.”
When I tried to take the recipe, Louise secretly hid it behind her.
“Hey, you should listen to the end. I said it sounded like a fraud, but I didn’t mean that Bark is a fraud!”
I was wondering if I should just order manufacturing, but then I changed my mind.
It doesn’t seem like a big deal to me.
When I think about it, this is a very precious elixir recipe for ordinary people.
I started thinking about making elixirs for free and receiving royalties in return for the recipe.
“… So, you’re asking me to share some of the proceeds from the sale of this elixir?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s a good suggestion. You’re not going to tell other wizards or alchemists, are you?”
“Of course.”
“… If this potion really has that effect, I’ll accept Bark’s offer!”
