Day 123: The Materials We Waited For.
Holy Era 6102, Month of the Moon Sheep, 14th day.
Weather: Sunny
Hmph… I could not sleep because the sunburn was too painful… So I’m still tired.
Hmm. I suppose I’ll just have to gaze at my gold in order to cheer myself up!
Hehe. After we participate in the kraken hunt, we now have four gold coins.
Their smooth, shiny surfaces and substantial weight. They are so beautiful that I can’t help but sigh.
As I was transfixed by the gold, Ms. Noa entered the room with an exasperated expression.
‘The disease has started again…’ Hey, don’t look at me with such pity, Ms. Noa!
Ms. Nico was there too, and she was saying something about finding a medicine that would cure me…?!
This is not a sickness! I am perfectly healthy!
They continued to tease me during breakfast, and then we headed over to the guild.
Inside, the muscular guild worker called us over immediately.
We went over to the desk. A wooden box filled with kraken materials was waiting for us.
There were two boxes. One was Ms. Nico’s prize and the other was yesterday’s additional reward.
Now that I thought about it, today was the pickup day for the materials.
Ms. Nico’s eyes shone brightly as soon as she saw the materials.
…Were you really looking forward to it so much?
Upon accepting the materials, Ms. Nico suddenly seemed restless.
It was like she could not wait to use them.
It could not be helped. There would be no work today then.
After all, it would be dangerous to accept work when she was in this state.
And so we took the materials and went to the Alchemists Guild.
Just like last time, we rented a laboratory and set up the equipment necessary for concocting.
When the preparations were finished, Ms. Nico smiled and started to work.
…Is this what I look like when I’m staring at gold coins?
I kind of understand why the others were exasperated now…
Well then, we will help Ms. Nico today.
After what happened last time…we were a little worried.
No, we do trust you, Ms. Nico! It’s just that you can be a little…
Also, I felt bad leaving all of the work to her.
And so we followed Ms. Nico’s instructions and helped to prepare the materials…
Ugh… I did not expect to be touching slimy kraken materials again.
Just like yesterday, it smelled horrible… Still, I will do my best!
After about two hours, the materials were processed.
The kraken flesh was cut into even, thin slices.
According to Ms. Nico, they would be boiled with various medicines…
But what is wrong with this smell… My nose…my nose…
It was so bad that even Ms. Noa was teary-eyed… Ugh…I’m going to throw up…
…Do you seriously mean to boil this until morning?
I was able to bear it for a while, but eventually Ms. Noa and I had to escape from the room.
Uh…we’ll come back in the early morning. I’m sure it will be fine.
…I believe in you, Ms. Nico!
Hah… Still, it really was a terrible stench… I want to take a bath now.
