Episode 202 [Promise 2]
After dinner, I took a shower and was reading a book in my room when I heard a knock on the door and when I answered, Len came into the room.
“Um, is there something you need to do?”
"Ah, I promised you before. The development of a new drug has progressed, so I came to report on the results. Since I was in the cafeteria, there was a chance that someone would overhear me, so I waited for Jin to return to his room."
"Is that so? If you had told me, I would have come to your room before taking a shower."
While saying that, I brought out a chair for Len and asked him to show me the medicine he had mixed.
The new medicine I was asking Ren for was a somewhat unreasonable request for him to create something similar to the ``Mystic Medicine of the Forest,'' which can only be made by elves who live deep in the forest.
It has been proven that it is possible to manufacture a medicine that has an effect similar to that of a mysterious medicine at a certain point.
For that reason, I asked goblin merchants to buy materials that could be used to make many medicines, and I also purchased mysterious medicines and sent them to research.
“Last time it was a mess, but this time I was able to make it much better, so please take a look.”
That's what Ren told me, so I used the appraisal on the medicine he gave me.
Then, the ingredients of that medicine were almost like a mystical medicine, and I looked twice at its effects.
“What do you think, Gin?”
"...Ren. You really are a genius. It's not a perfect mystery medicine, but the performance is almost the same."
“Okay.”
Ren doesn't usually show his emotions, but this time he seemed happy, doing a small fist pump and smiling.
Even so...I never expected that they would create a medicine that is close to a mystery medicine so quickly.
My prediction was that it would take at least another year, but Len's talent has easily exceeded my expectations.
"But it really worked out really well. I was the one who asked for it too, but to be honest, I didn't expect it to be done this quickly."
"Thanks to Nashari-san. She seems to be doing a lot of research, and when I showed her the secret medicine of the forest, she worked with me to come up with a way to produce ingredients similar to it."
"I see. If that's the case, I'll have to thank you next time we meet."
After saying that, I asked if it was possible to mass produce the medicine I received from Ren.
“I think it can be done as long as I have the materials and my physical strength.”
"Understood. As we had previously decided, the recipe and source of this medicine will be sold in secret, so please let Ren make it at his convenience."
If it became known that a drug similar to the ``Forest Mystery'' could be mass-produced, someone would appear targeting Ren.
Therefore, when I sell to the guild, I plan to do so as if I were purchasing from a merchant as before.
"Also, I made this to kill time while making medicine. What do you think, Jin?"
"It's like medicine, too."
I looked at the medicine Len had given me, something I had never seen before, and used Appraisal while saying so.
Then, it was discovered that the effect of the drug was the same as that of strengthening the body for a certain period of time.
"...How did you make something like this?"
``When I was listening to various things from Mr. Nashari, this came to mind.For safety reasons, it's not something that would be relatively strong, but I think it could be quite useful depending on the person who uses it.'' What do you think?”
"Honestly, it's like a double layer of physical strength, so I think it's quite useful for those fighting on the front lines."
When I saw the effects of the medicine, I was surprised but said what I thought.
Seeing this made me realize once again that meeting Nashari-san had further increased Ren's talent.
"Ren. Just to be clear, I don't think this is something that will sell well either. If you want to make Ren more famous, you can announce it, but I think it's better not to."
"I don't really care about fame, and I don't need to make a presentation because it might interfere with my research."
"I see, if you say that, I'll be saved too...Anyway, Ren is really amazing. He could create such an amazing medicine on a whim."
I said that while picking up the medicine again, feeling a little relieved that Ren wouldn't make an announcement.
``Recently, I have a strong desire to use the knowledge that Nashari-san taught me, so I've been doing a lot of research.Jin and the others have told me that I can spend as much money as I want, so I don't have to worry about the financial aspects. I'm really grateful to have an environment where I can immerse myself in research."
"We're both helped by Ren's medicine, so we're both the same. However, if that happens, we'll have to consider buying a house soon..."
We are currently based at Ricardo's inn, but we think it would be better to create a proper research institute for Ren.
“But I feel sorry for buying a house for my research…Honestly, I think I could do the training on Sky Island, and the food at the inn would be better.”
"That's true, but I don't want to have them do research in the guild all the time... It doesn't have to be the party's house, it could be Ren's own research lab."
“I don’t like it because it seems like only I use it.”
To my words, Ren refused and said that if that was the case, it would be better to prepare it for the purpose of party use, so we went back to the topic, and Ren and I continued to argue for a while.
