Chapter 196 – This is the Real Magic Potion ……!
The mixing room and the potion storage room are connected by an inner door. There, magic potions were lined up in rows. Their faces tensed as they saw the spectacular view. Apparently, they are not comfortable with magic potions.
"This is where the potions are kept. To be honest, I don't recommend using potions made the old-fashioned way."
“The old way? The way you put it, it sounds like there is a new way to make it.”
Ijidol asked, tilting his head. Axel was also looking at me, probably getting interested. That’s a good trend. Since we’re here, let’s have them use it and experience it for themselves.
"The Royal Potion Master has devised a new method of making potions. Magic potions made that way don’t taste bad and don’t have a bad smell."
“Really?”
Axel doubts. If he practiced swordsmanship, he would probably get injured. I’m sure he must have taken the disgusting elementary recovery potion at that time. I brought the recovery potion to Axel, who looked at me with half-lidded eyes.
After teaching them how to make magic potions, the old magic potions and new magic potions were clearly differentiated in the magic potion storage room. And each new magic potion had its own shelf so you could see who made it.

The purpose was to keep track of who made what magic potion and how much of the ingredients were used. The material ledger was fulfilling its function well. This should improve the quality of the materials.
“This is the elementary recovery potion I made. Just smell it.”
“O-okay.”
Maybe it was a good thing that I handed it to him so confidently, but Axel accepted it with a scrunched-up face. Then, he opened the bottle and smelled it fearfully.
“It doesn’t smell like anything? No, it smells a little sweet.”
“Really? Let me smell it too. …… smells sweet. It smells like honey. I’m sure of it.”
Ijidol is indeed a foodie character. He seemed convinced.
The two of them looked at the elementary recovery potion curiously. This magic potion is a type of magic potion that is sweetened to make it easier for the children at the orphanage to drink. Although the effectiveness is slightly lower, its popularity with children is unrivaled.
“Aren’t you both curious about the taste? Would you like to try it?”
“Yeah, sure.”
“Hey, just a little bit. ……”

I was very careful not to let them kiss each other indirectly, so I poured some into a cup. The clear green color made their eyes flutter.
“I don’t remember it being this color.”
“Maybe so, but it’s a beautiful color.”
Probably not, Ijidol. It would have been a murkier, darker color. He was staring at me, and when his eyes met mine, he closed his eyes and drank a little, as if he had come to terms with it.
“Oh, it’s so sweet~!”
“What is this~?!”
The two of them drank it all up while saying that. Oh my~! Didn’t they just a little bit~?”
“Well?”
“Is this really an elementary potion?”
“I can’t believe it. I feel like I can drink as much of this as I want.”
Ad
You really shouldn’t drink as much as you want, Ijidol. There’s a limit to everything.
Now you both know that those disgusting magic potions are "notTgr true form of magic potions”.
"We also have sweet cold medicines that even little kids can easily take. It seems that colds are becoming more and more prevalent in the royal capital. Here it is."
“Pink!”
“…… This smells sweet too. This one is syrup.”
It seems that Ijidol has a keen sense of smell. Like a dog? But since cold medicine was in high demand, so I was unable to give them a sample.
“The new magic potion is awesome. This way, even if I get hurt, I don’t have to worry.”
“This is a real magic potion ……!”
While Axel smiles happily, Ijidol has a serious expression on his face as he stares at the cold medicine. It looks like he’s interested in magic potions. Since Ijidol can use magic, he is a perfect candidate to become a potion maker. I must successfully attract his interest and increase my number of friends.
“Hey, Julius, were you the one who taught everyone the new way to make potions, didn’t you?”
“Hmm?”
Oh no, Ijidol has calmed down and started thinking about unnecessary things. I have to fool him here no matter what.
"No. Like I said earlier, the Royal Potion Masters invented it, remember?"
“Julius ……”
“They called you ‘sensei’. It all makes sense now.”
Ad
Both of them looked astonished. Was I the type to show my face so easily? Or was I just letting my guard down because I was in front of my friends? Either way, it doesn’t look good. I’ll ask my brother Alex to teach me how to put on a poker face next time.
Meanwhile, the servant came back.
“Julius boy, we are ready for you to stay the night. I will escort you to the guest room.”
“All right, I’ll be right there. Let’s go, both of you.”
"Now that I think about it, that's what we were talking about. I’m getting kind of nervous."
“I have to contact your mothers."
We got moving right away. I’ll write a letter to Axel and Ijidol’s parents. If I give it to them, they should be a little relieved.
The guest room was located in a slightly secluded part of the castle. Was it for security purposes? Or is the room set up at the back of the castle, where it is easier to monitor, so that any strange behavior would be immediately detected? It could be both.
The door to the room was massive and magnificent, as if it were a guest room. It appears to have been thoroughly polished and has a dull color that shines.
“This is the room. Alex-sama, little Julius and his companion have arrived.”
When the servant knocked on the door, there was an immediate answer. It's was brother Alex's voice. There was something cheerful about the tone of his voice. I wonder if it is an everyday occurrence for him to stay in the guest room.
When we entered the room through the door opened by the servant, two people were waiting for us. I noticed that the two who came in after me froze. I want to freeze with them.
“Good day to you, Daniela-sama”
“It’s been a long time, Julius.”
Daniela-sama, sitting next to brother Alex, greeted us with a smile.
