After arriving at the『Ikebu town』with so much effort, we went home without exploring the town. I wish I could look around a bit before leaving.
That night, I brewed 23【Stimulant potion +3】using the【Mandrake root】I bought, totaling 29. Setting aside the ones for the director, since there’s too many, let’s sell some of it this time.
After that, the【Strength recovery potion】has been used as ingredients for【Stimulant potion】as well as the【Medicinal herbs】, all the materials has been used up. I should replenish my stock.
There’s only 7【Strength recovery potion +3】left in my hand, since these may become useful for something, I’ll keep them.
The next day, when I went to the company, I received a lunch invitation from the director. It seems he wants to discuss about the sample.
While smacking his lips over the delicious eel at the luxurious eel shop, the director began to talk happily.
「I intended to use the sample on the day you gave it but my wife went out on a trip without notice. I finally had the chance to use it on Friday when she came back from the trip. I’ve only had a sip of the sample and was overwhelmed. It was only about a full sake cup.」
The director was beaming with a smile that he never showed. The awkward relationship of the couple has improved. He told me that he consumed the sample on the weekend.
「I’m also happy that it was able to make you glad.」
「That’s right! I found out that it’s not good to depend on the example too much, I’d like to have some bottles of the example. Can you give me?」
I pretended to be reluctant to take it out.
Please don’t misunderstand, I’m worried that it will have a side effect on the director’s body if he drink too much, I’m not thinking of raising its scarcity value, not at all!
「I’m sorry Director but I can only prepare one of them right now.」
I said and put only one【Stimulant potion +3】on the table.
「Is that so? only one… that’s right, one can’t get these things so easily.」
「Therefore, it’s better to only drink a little bit between uses.」
「That’s right……」
Because the Director seemed to be convinced, I’ll slow down the crafting pace in the future.
「Director, there’s also a different matter……」
While saying so, I took out 1 of the【Strength recovery potion +3】and placed it next to the【Stimulant potion +3】.
「This is?」
「This is a drink that recover strength. If you get tired from intense exercise1, drink this.」
Because strenuous exercise when you get old seemed to be dangerous.
「Is that right? Is this also a good thing?」
「Because this one is easier to obtain than those examples, it may not be much.」
「I see, is it fine to take it after the other one?」
「Yeah, there’s no problem.」
The Director and I cracked a smile.
But the Director seemed to be worried about the potions on the table and was fidgeting.
「W-, With that…… I prepared something as thanks for the second item, will you receive it?」
「N? Ah, yes.」
The Director looked left and right, he then took out a brown envelope from his breast pocket and presented it.
I received the envelope and put it in my breast pocket. The Director wrapped the small vials of【Strength recovery potion +3】and【Stimulant potion +3】in a handkerchief protectively and placed them in a bag.
「Hahaha! Iya, I’m so happy to have a good subordinate like you. Come on, let’s eat the eel and work hard for today!」
Director, are you talking about working hard for the afternoon work? Or is it about the night work? Let’s not think about it too much. After that, the Director and I finished the afternoon work with the power of the high-class eel energetically.
