Chapter 53: White Combination and Setia´s potion making
Now that Hiyori and the others have finished evolving, Byakuya and Yuuga are next. So I asked Ion to do her best to level them up. Byakuya was the first to evolve. The familiar information flowed.
『Byakuya's level has reached 8. Evolution is possible』
So, I immediately evolved. I decided to do this from the beginning. I checked, but it was the same as with Kotetsu. So I evolved it into the White Tiger I've always wanted.
『Byakuya has evolved into a White Tiger』
Byakuya that changed its form was a real White Tiger. No, it was only natural that I evolved it into a white tiger, but I couldn't help but be impressed. I feel like a bit of a celebrity.
Now, there's a skill I don't know. What's sprinting? I was shown. Apparently, it's a skill that consumes magic power to increase the speed. It was insanely fast. Probably surpassing Ion. However, in Ion´s case, it doesn't consume magic power and it's like a small turnaround.
Then at this rate, Yuuga leveled up smoothly. Ion, who's been killing Desnia all along the way, has also leveled up. And then the info came again.
『Yuuga's level has reached 8. Evolution is possible』
Yuuga also evolved immediately because the evolution destination was decided.
『Yuuga has evolved into a White Wolf』
Yuuga's appearance turned white. His fur had also changed. He looked like an Alaskan Malamute, a famous dog sledder. Or rather, that's exactly what he looks like. When I stroked him, he squinted his eyes as if he was feeling good. He's so cute.
While I was petting Yuuga, Gale and Byakuya came over to me, so I decided to pet them all, including Ion, who was trying to refrain from it. Please take care of me from now on.
I was able to complete my original plan, so I logged out. It's been well past lunchtime. I was too absorbed in the game.
I finished my lunch and logged back in. In the afternoon, I'm going to try to make HP potions in the city. So, I came to the Alchemy Guild. I got some tools for beginners here. I thought there would be a potion guild or a pharmacist guild.
Now that I had the tools and materials, I asked Setia to make one for me. It was easy to make. Put the Cure Leaf into a mortar used for chemistry experiments and mash it with a pestle. Fill the container with water and you're done. Here is the finished product.
HP Potion (slight): Rarity 1 Recovery Item Quality E-
When drunk, it restores a small amount of vitality.
And here's the result after adding astringent grass.
HP Potion (Small): Rarity 2 Recovery Item Quality E
Restores a small amount of vitality when drunk.
Finally, MP Potion.
MP Potion: Rarity 1 Recovery Item Quality E
Drink it to recover a small amount of magic power.
Now that we're done, here's the problem. Ah, the big problem.
"Please try it, Takuto-sama"
Yeah. There's no way out. Lily is wishing me good luck. Ion doesn't know, so she's not sure what's going on. It's good. How can you not enjoy a beautiful girl's homemade food?
"Yeah, I'll take it"
That's strange. My hands are shaking. Yeah! A man's got to have guts! I'll take it!
......Please wait a moment.
"Takuto, are you okay?"
Lily is worried about me.
"I'm sorry! I!"
"Ah, don't worry about it. I knew it was bad and drank it"
"Is that so?"
"Yes. But it's even worse than I expected. It's not something I could drink. Here"
That's why she still has two bottles.
"Let's just trust the effects, rarity and quality"
I reach for the other HP potion.
"Wait! I'll drink this one!"
Ion takes it from me and drinks it all at once. Hey, are you okay? Ion's face turns pale. She covers her ears and turns around. It's a pity to see and hear.
……Please wait.
"I, Impossible...this is...impossible..."
Ion is on all fours, mumbling to herself. Is everything okay? By the way, security is alive and well. But the quality doesn't seem delicious, does it?
"You're both overreacting"
I thought that since the HP potion was bad, maybe the MP potion would be okay, but the pale skin of Setia's face turned to the color of a yellow man's skin and she clamped her hand over her mouth. Let's do the same as for Ion.
......Please wait a moment.
“I can't...I...I...this...is..."
Setia is also a member of the crawling on all fours. It's a miniskirt, but you can't see anything.
By the way, everyone realized that the potion was bad, but the problem is from here. There must be a way to get rid of this badness because there was a pharmacist like Hak who was selling it in the beta.
The simple solution is to add something to reduce the bitterness. And to remove the bitterness, sweetness is the standard. So I asked Setia to make me one with honey added and challenge!
"Uuuh!?!?!?!?!?"
......Please wait a while.
It didn't work. It's like the sweetness and bitterness don't cancel each other out, they combine. It turned into a sweet and bitter drink with the worst thirst. What can I say about sweet and bitter? But I can only say that it is. Nevertheless, I talked about this failure with Setia.
"What's wrong with it?"
"Well, it succeeded in bringing out the sweetness of honey. Just because it didn't work together doesn't mean it's the wrong idea"
"I think so, too. If so, where is the problem?"
"Maybe it's the timing of the honey addition or the amount of honey or the difference in the degree of honey in the potion? Let's try something else"
"Yes!"
After that, we failed many times and had a bad time, but it paid off. It still had a bitter taste, but we were able to make a potion that I could tolerate and drink. Here it is.
HP Potion (slight): Rarity 2 Recovery item Quality E
Drinking this potion restores a small amount of vitality.
The effect is slight, but the rarity and quality have been increased. It's easy to make, just add a tablespoon of honey to the finished HP potion and mix.
I struggled with the amount of honey. If it was too little, it would be ineffective, if it was too much, it would be a reproduction of the first one. If I didn't mix it, I ended up with a drink that tasted bitter at the beginning and sweet at the end and if I added honey at the beginning, I ended up with a strange odor and a step up in badness. It was dangerous and we all vowed never to do it again.
For now, we had achieved something, so I logged out here. In case you were wondering, Setia's skill level has gone up a lot.
