Day 124: My nose! My eyes! My throat!
Holy Era 6102, Month of the Moon Sheep, 15th day.
Weather: Sunny
It’s morning…we have to go and check up on Ms. Nico, but…
Thinking about yesterday’s stench puts me in a dreary mood… But I will do my best!
After eating breakfast, we headed to the Alchemist Guild with heavy feet.
And once we arrived, we went straight to the laboratory.
We reached the door…everything was fine up until this point. Nothing was strange.
The problem was what came after… Ms. Noa and I nodded together and braced ourselves while opening the door.
Just then, a horrible smell…did not reach my nose.
Uh? Huh? What is the meaning of this? There was a faint smell of fish, but that was all.
I was expecting something on the same level or worse as the deodorizer…
As I hesitantly entered the room, I saw that Ms. Nico was sleeping soundly on the floor.
There were about ten small vials on the table.
In any case, we must wake up Ms. Nico and have her explain.
When I called to her, Ms. Nico frowned and rubbed her tired eyes.
Good morning. It is morning, you know? Time to wake up.
Ms. Nico nodded sleepily.
Are-are you alright? Your eyes aren’t focused at all.
I looked at her worriedly. But then Ms. Nico stood up and put on her glasses.
She looked around as if searching for something, and then she walked over to the experiment table.
Ah! No! Don’t use that medicine!!
Remembering what had happened last time, I frantically took the bottle of yellow liquid away from her.
You can’t rely on this! You must eat a proper breakfast! We have lunch boxes!
Ms. Nico’s shoulders drooped and she began to eat somberly.
After she finally finished eating, she stifled a yawn and began to explain the medicine to us.
According to her, this one was supposed to attract fish.
Apparently, kraken were always excreting a substance that lured fish in.
This had been extracted and concentrated into the muddy liquid inside of the vials now.
Unleash one drop into the sea and you will be able to catch a lot of fish! Ms. Nico declared proudly.
Well, this was a port town, so there would surely be demand… Yes, it will sell.
If you only needed a little, then a small vial could be used multiple times.
Hehe. I had a feeling that we were going to be rich!
…Getting carried away like that must have been my downfall.
The moment I picked up the vial, it slipped right out of my hand.
A moment later, it smashed all over the floor.
And before I knew it, a horrible stench was spreading around the room.
My nose! My eyes! My throat hurts! It hurts! What is this!?
Is this medicine dangerous!?
After that, we managed to sell them at the guild. But they did give us a warning.
Also, we charged an extra fee for cleaning the room. It was the worst.
Ugh… And I still stink.
