My Reincarnation Skills Are “Playing With Dolls” and “Playing With Clay”, but What Am I Supposed to Do With These? C140

Episode 140: Medicine Master’s Daughter

We were both physically and mentally exhausted because of this incomprehensible ninja otaku father, so we decided to completely turn off the next day and laze around for the day. 

I'm especially worried about the girls, as they seem to have suffered badly. 

Everyone woke up around noon, so we decided to go out with at least two people to be safe, so Carmilla and Nolte went shopping and Lucien took Lina to sightsee. So I went out. 

You're all doing surprisingly well. 

 that? I'm...makacchi. 

I had planned to spend the day relaxing and getting to know each other in the harem, but I ended up giving up, and in the middle of the afternoon I got bored and decided to go out. 

Just before I told him not to go out alone, he brought out his clay dog, Wan, to accompany him. I don't feel lonely... 

　

A relatively classy, ​​educational district in Partepolis, where there is a huge disparity between rich and poor? As I walked along the street, I saw a building that looked like a school or university, and I saw a bunch of young people, who looked about the same age as me, coming out. 

The clothes themselves vary, from those who wear luxurious clothes like the children of aristocrats to those who look quite poor, but they all wear the same short reddish-purple cloak hanging from their backs, so maybe it's a kind of uniform. 

There are a few kids holding what looks like magic wands, which makes me curious. However, since I can't read the writing here, I don't know what school it is even when I pass in front of the gate. 

I'm guessing it's time to leave school. 

Since I had no purpose, I just followed the flow and came to a street lined with snack shops for students and stores selling writing instruments, bags, shoes, and miscellaneous goods. It's a student town. 

Among them, the one that really caught my eye was the store that had things like medicine and magic tools lined up. 

It's much bigger than Menachem's store in Ankila, and the interior is bright and orderly. 

I suddenly remembered that there was still some medicine made from magic stones, and I wondered if I could compare the price with the one at the store the other day, so I asked the woman standing at what looked like a cash register. 

"Are you buying it? Ah, unfortunately, we specialize in selling finished medicines, so if it's medicinal herbs or raw materials, we buy them..."

I see, so they make medicine from raw materials and sell it for the difference in price. 

Thinking so, I looked around the medicine cabinet and found a large pill that looked familiar. When I appraised it, it came out as ``Shizumi Maru.'' It's the one I gave Carmilla to drink yesterday. 

"That medicine..."

"Ah, Master Hatori's high-grade ninja medicine. They just arrived, and they have all the series, right? What's the one you want?"

“Ah, no, I had a bad experience with an old man from Hatori yesterday, so I thought that medicine looked familiar...”

"What! Did you meet Master Hatori?"

A young girl who looked like she had a part-time job and was organizing the shelves in the back came over. 

The woman at the cash register also seemed a little surprised. 

"I've heard that Master Jonin Hatori rarely shows himself. Even when we buy things, it's usually delivered by his disciples..."

“Brother, what kind of person is Master Hatori? Could you introduce me to him?”

The female part-time worker seems to be very interested. Despite his sunburn, he is a rather cute child with round eyes and a cheerful appearance. 

"N-no, I think it's better if we stop meeting each other, right? It's dangerous, especially cute girls..."

"Oh, it's true that you're super cute. I'll pick you up after work."

I didn't say it was super. It's the type I don't like because it fires up like a machine gun. 

The raw materials and manufacturing method for Hatori's carefully made medicine are a mystery, but it is said to have an unparalleled effect, and it is said to cost at least 10 small gold coins each. That pervert isn't worried about money. 

That's when I remembered. 

“Umm, I wonder if this Koban? Can I use it?”

"Ah, it's a flat gold coin. It's treated as 5 small gold coins. You can use it just in case."

I see, yesterday I was given 10 of these as an apology, so it's worth 50 gold coins. The amount was an order of magnitude different from the guild's request fee, so it was a sign of sincerity. 

As I looked around the store, I found out that there were weapons and armor imbued with magic, as well as installation-type barrier devices. 

　This kind of thing feels like a game. I wonder if things like swords with fire attributes or poison-resistant armor can be made by raising the level of alchemy, or rather, blacksmithing or craft skills. 

“Brother, are you an alchemist?”

The girl working part-time earlier started talking to me. She's not selling oil, she's posing as if she's dusting off the items on display. 

"Hmm? Ah, do you have discrimination skills?"

"Yeah, it's a beginner's level, but I worked hard to learn it. Even though you're about the same age as me, it's hard to be an alchemist LV17, and it's hard to find anyone at my school, right?"

"school?"

"It's Imperial University, which is right next door. It attracts excellent students from overseas as well."

Apparently that's the school I went to earlier. Imperial University is kind of a big school, so this girl was one of the students with that cloak over her shoulders, and she started her part-time shift after school. 

When I determined it, it was a job called "Yakushi". I wonder if medicine is also produced here. She looks a bit like a gal, but her various skills are high compared to her job level. 

And are they the same age?

 that? I heard that name somewhere... 

"Ah···"

"what happened?"

"At Ankyrium, at the magic potion shop..."

"Eh! Do you know my parents' house?"

The world is small, it's opportunistic, etc. 

I finally remembered the name of the old man with metabolic syndrome, Menahem. 

So, I talked about how I was worried because my parents couldn't contact me, and how my father was unwell and tearfully asked me to "meet my daughter while he's still well." did. 

"Well, isn't it a pain to write letters? It also costs money."

Well, I agree, but I can't say that about other people either. 

``Right now, I'm working on my final exam and graduation thesis, and after that, I'll have some time off until I get a job, so I can go home and work on it, but...I don't have anything else to do first.''

　Do you have a graduation thesis even though you are 19 years old? It's a "university school" so it's a university...If you think about it, it's a world where you become an adult at 15, so isn't it strange that a school where you graduate at 19 is a university? He's better than me, who didn't get into university. 

“Have you decided on a theme?”

``For the time being, field research is required for my graduation thesis, and since my topic is the history of medicine and magic, I actually have to go excavating some ruins, but the teachers have already thoroughly investigated the ruins nearby. It's been investigated and there doesn't seem to be anything interesting."

Ruins? 

“You know, what if we find some unknown ruins?”

"There's no way there's such a convenient story. If there was, it would be a great discovery. I definitely want to go. I can read ancient languages, so it would be helpful if I could go to the site."

“Actually, there is.”

"Oh, no."

As soon as I tried to continue speaking, I heard a lot of insults. 

"Hey, Magdalea, how long are you going to sell oil? Get to work!"

"Ah! I'm sorry, the customer was trying to make advances again, Tehe."

Hey, who's talking to you? 

When Magdalea heard the name of our inn in a whisper, she hurried away.
