We managed to purchase the【Magic rod】after the confusion and escaped back to the inn.
Currently, we are gathered inside Aya and Elena’s room.
「An-chan, what are you planning to do by coming over to the girls’ room?」
「Let’s try【Potioncraft】here.」
「I’d also like to concoct.」
「When concocting, don’t you need tools?」
「Fufufu.」
While I let out an unnatural laugh―
I took out a bunch of items from the inventory and placed them on the desk.
・Alcohol lamp
・Alcohol lamp’s tripod
・Beaker
・Flask
・Test tube
・Test tube rack
・Test tube brush
・Glass rod
・Funnel
・Filter paper
・Pipette(Dropper)
・Mortar
・Pestle
・High-precision digital measuring tool
「T-, This is?」
「So many! It looks like a laboratory.~」
「We’ll concoct using these.」
I bought these from 19th PANs at Ikebukuro on my way home.1
「Then, let’s concoct【Strength recovery potion】first.」
I took out【Medicinal herbs】and【Salt】.
「We have to dry the【Medicinal herbs】, how should we do that?
You two, let me hear your thoughts.」
「Let’s use warm air.」
「How about removing the water using magic?」
「Then, both of you will try each of the methods, I’ll try to heat it up using heating element.」
When I used【Appraisal】on the result of each method for drying【Medicinal herbs】―
we found that Elena’s『removing the water using magic』method produced the best quality.
Me and Aya learned Elena’s【Drying】method―
We allotted the【Medicinal herbs】to the 3 of us and each began drying them.
After drying about half of my allotted【Medicinal herbs】, I stopped at once and began the next task.
I placed the dried【Medicinal herb】in the mortar and using the pestle, I ground it into a fine paste.
For now, it was ground to only 50g.
After that, the【Medicinal herbs】which were ground to 50g, 10g of【Salt】and 200ml of water which was produced using magic were apportioned after being measured using【High-precision digital measuring tool】respectively.
The 200ml of water was poured into the【Beaker】and the 50g of ground【Medicinal herbs】and 10g of【salt】were put in as well and were stirred using【Glass rod】.
The【Alcohol lamp】was set aflame, I put the【Beaker】on the【Alcohol lamp’s tripod】and stir it frequently until it boils.
I put out the fire of the【Alcohol lamp】after it boils and put the【Beaker】in the inventory and advance the time.
I set the【Funnel】and the【Filter paper】up to the【Flask】and poured the liquid from the beaker slowly.
Oh, a coffee【Dripper】might also be good to use. I’ll buy it next time.
I used【Appraisal】on the filtered liquid inside the【Flask】and―
┌─<Appraisal>────
│【Strength recovery potion】
│Can restore strength when consumed.
│Quality: +3
│Rarity: ★

—was made.
At the same time, the skill acquisition announcement flowed.
『【Potioncraft】acquired.』
「I did it, it’s done!
I also acquired【Potioncraft】skill. That’s pretty easy.」
「I’d also like to try.」
Next, Elena gave it a try.
The quality of【Strength recovery potion】that Elena made was +2.
It’s 1 lower than mine, it seems she wasn’t used to handling the laboratory tools.
If it’s only that much, she’ll get used to it soon.
「I did it, Seiji-sama!」
When I look at Elena’s status, she also acquired the【Potioncraft】skill.
「Then, next is Aya.」
「Ye~s.」
The quality of【Strength recovery potion】that Aya made was +1.
She also acquired【Potioncraft】skill but, she’s sloppy at handling the tools and ingredients.
「It’s so difficult.」
Since all of us had acquired【Potioncraft】skill―
we decided to try a level 1【Potioncraft】recipe.
This is what we’re going to try next.
