Chapter 38: Is the elixir supposed to be boiled? (1/2)
The Rembrandt Company seems to be bigger than I originally thought.
The place I went to last time was only a store. I thought that place was a store and a residence at the same time!
Today we are going to compound the elixir. Now, let’s watch the proper young man in his natural habitat, alchemy.
I was going in an unusually relaxed manner to the Rembrandt residence but…
Their plans were speedier than what I thought they would be.
They are going to have the compounding done as soon as possible and administer the dosage.
As expected, since they were told something that wasn’t planned, they were impatient.
The image of alchemy here is to use a giant pot or vase to throw a lot of things in it and wait for it to boil for a long time.
I won’t say that it reminds me of witches.
Is he okay with showing two adventurers like us his ill wife and two daughters?
I don’t know the conduct of this world though.
I feel like a girl would hate to be seen by an unknown male in a state where they can’t even put on make-up properly.
Is it really okay? The husband and father, Rembrandt-san, gave his okay, so it shouldn’t become a serious thing.
Umu~
However, when I use my two followers as standards, there is no such word as needless anxiety in this world.
The merchants are probably the sane type. I am scared but, let’s believe in that.
“Raidou-san, it is my miss that I jumped to the elixir talk and didn’t ask the circumstances. But you know, I would have liked if you said that it was the Rembrandt Company beforehand!”
The proper man was nervously talking to me in the reception room.
Hearing the name of the elixir, he gave me an immediate okay, so it is truly his miss for not asking first. Honestly speaking, there was no fault in me.
By the way, it was out of my expectations that the Rembrandt Company was a pretty established name, moreover, an extremely rich one.
Thinking about it, it was not just a well-established one, but a major company as well. Geez, if I had previous knowledge of how their residence looked, I would have come better dressed.
I should have just asked the dwarfs to mend those experimental clothes. To have the same clothing as when I am travelling is clearly inappropriate.
We are waiting in a reception room that is even bigger than my inn, sitting on a sofa that felt as if we could sink in it.
The drink that was on the table in front of me had a smell of syrup.
I, who normally spreads out a search perimeter in my surroundings, am not doing it. Or more like, I basically don’t do it indoors.
Outside I would pay attention to the houses and presences in my surroundings, at interiors, even if I search for strange presences, I don’t research the insides of the building itself.
I think this is half-assed, but I was raised in a world where privacy is strict and because of that I practice restraint.
Furthermore, inside this residence there is a wife and two daughters in an ill state.
As expected, I wouldn’t feel good hearing their conversations or watching them.
[This is my first time in Tsige, so I didn’t know about the Rembrandt Company]
“… Hah~, now that you mention it. Well, I am sorry. In this Tsige, it is a pretty big name. It is to a point where I would honestly have a hard time staying here if he were to glare at me.”
[I see. If that’s the case then, it is natural for you to be nervous]
