Chapter 333: A Product That’s Sure to be a Big Hit!

I don’t mind making the magic potions with the Heine Frontier Count family seal, but the problem is whether it’s okay to do so. If I’m not careful, it could end up causing resentment from others.

“Alex-niisan, won’t we get complaints from the Magic Guild?”

“That might happen. But we probably won’t make that much, right? If that’s the case, we won’t meet all the demand, so it should be fine.”

Hmm, in that case, I don’t think there’s any need for me to sell the magic potions I made. Could it be that they plan to use it as a way to attract customers? If that’s the case, I understand, and indeed, we wouldn’t need that much.

If we don’t have to make them in bulk, I could make the magic potions with Fabienne. I’ve been wanting to teach her more tricks for making potions.

“I understand. If it’s fine with the amount I can prepare, then there’s no problem. I’ll prepare it with Fabienne.”

Although I didn’t say it out loud, Fabienne placed her hand on her mouth and jumped up a little. It seems that Alex-niisan noticed and smiled at Fabienne.

“Ahem, so which potions are needed?”

“So far, the plan is to make two types: ‘Basic Healing Potion’ and ‘Basic Stamina Recovery Potion.'”

“I see. You’re planning to sell the Basic Stamina Recovery Potion, right? I believe it hasn’t spread in the capital yet, has it? Has the Royal Court’s potion maker not shared the recipe yet?”

“It seems so. According to Daniela-sama, it hasn’t been sold in the royal capital either.”

Hmm, that’s strange. I was sure I taught the Royal Court potion makers the recipe. The King had asked for more if he wanted it, so I told them to make it.

Alex-niisan seems to be uncertain as well, shaking his head in a state of confusion.

“If you start selling the Basic Stamina Recovery Potion, it might turn into a big deal.”

“If that happens, we’ll have to rely on Julius and Fabienne to work hard.”

“Because there’s a limit to the materials, right?”

“I know. If we need it, I’ll arrange it, so just let me know anytime.”

With that, Alex-niisan left. Is it going to be okay? I’m a little, no, actually, I’m quite worried. The Basic Stamina Recovery Potion is already a very popular magic potion among the knights. If we sell it to the public, there’s no doubt it will become a best-seller.

“What should I do?”

“Is there something troubling you?”

Fabienne, with a worried expression, was moving her eyebrows up and down. Oh no, oh no. I shouldn’t make my fiancée anxious.

“Come to think of it, Fabienne, you’ve never had the Basic Stamina Recovery Potion, have you?”

“Now that you mention it, that’s true. Is there something wrong with it?”

“Well, hmm, you’ll know once you try it.”

In the alchemy room, there were plenty of materials to make the Basic Stamina Recovery Potion. Since it was a great opportunity, I carefully taught Fabienne how to make it while preparing the potion. Of course, I made two versions: one before the improvement and one after. The ruby-like red color was beautiful.

“So this is the Basic Stamina Recovery Potion. By the way, why are there two kinds?”

“The pre-improved version has too much effect. Plus, it’s a bit spicy and hard to drink.”

“Too much effect…”

“I see…”

For some reason, Nero seemed to understand. He must have tried the improved Basic Stamina Recovery Potion before. Given that, it seemed he had some idea of what would happen if the effect was even stronger. There had been quite a commotion in the knight corps back then.

“Well then, Fabienne, want to try one?”

Fabienne, Nero, and Mira all swallowed audibly. Ah, looks like Mira wants to try it too. I wonder if she’ll be okay with the carbonation. I’ll have to keep an eye on her while she drinks it.

I handed the improved Basic Stamina Recovery Potion to Fabienne, Nero, and Mira, who held both hands out.

There was a satisfying kya-pon sound. I’ll drink some too.

“Well then, let’s begin.” 

Fabienne said, and everyone started drinking. Mira held the bottle with both hands and skillfully drank. It seemed like there were no issues.

“This… It’s so refreshing! The fizzy sensation is wonderful!”

“Fabienne-sama, this potion is the best when you’re feeling tired. It makes you feel so much better, so please try it next time.”

Nero, what exactly are you whispering into Fabienne’s ear? Sure, it might be true, but… look at Fabienne, her eyes are sparkling. She’s definitely planning to try it again next time.

“Kyuu! Kyuu!”

“No, Mira. It’s not good to use too much potion all at once.”

“Kyuu…”

I scolded Mira, who was holding her hands out again, asking for more. It looks like she really liked it. Her expression of disappointment is intense. Now I feel like I might be the one in the wrong.

No, no. I can’t let myself be swayed by that cuteness.

“See, this is how it always goes, right? This is definitely going to be a hit product.”

“Yeah, that’s why Julius was worried.”

It seems like Fabienne understands my struggles and gives a wry smile. Nero also seems to understand with a satisfied expression.

I did make sure to tell Alex-niisan, “As long as the materials last,” so I don’t think I’ll be making Basic Stamina Recovery Potions non-stop.

However, there’s no doubt it will be much more time-consuming than making hot cookies. On the other hand, it’s the perfect opportunity to improve Fabienne’s skills.

Well, I’ll just take it easy and do it within my limits.
