Isekai de Kojiin wo Hiraitakedo, Nazeka Darehitori Sudatou to Shinai Ken (WN)

Chapter 51: Let’s make potions! Part 4

“Let’s see.”

Saying that, I invoke my Appraisal skill on Shii’s potion.

I did so…

[Sleeping Potion {Low Grade}]

A potion that’ll make you fall asleep when you drink it. It was created by mixing magical liquid and Hypnos herb.

That is what came out.

“Ehe~ I’m clumsy but I did as Masatsugu-san said and I did it on the first try!”

She said that and was smiling at me.

“Aah, it came out fine. Well done”

I complimented her too.

Shii was smiling and waiting for something.

What can it be?

I tilted my head at not being able to understand what she wants and her expression gradually became moody.

“Masatsugu is cruel~ I also want that~”

She was grumbling.

Could it be that she wants her head patted just like the other girls?

Yeah, but…

“Is it fine for such a youngster like me to pat you? You’re a Spirit Deity that has lived for a long time, aren’t you?”

I said that troubled.

“I decided it’s fine~ Besides me being a Spirit Deity now doesn’t matter~ Hey~ Please do it~”

But with an unusual tone she said that.

Umu, it’s surprising that the usually carefree Shii would make such a strong claim for patting her head.

Surely she likes receiving head pats.

I did as per Shii’s request, and patted her and combed her head.

“Were you receiving things like this before you were sealed off?”

I calmly asked her.

“Eh~? I haven’t let anybody touch my head except Masatsugu-san~ Even the good God hasn’t touched it~ Masatsugu-san is the first one to pat me~?”

She replied that with a melted expression.

Eh? I thought she liked being patted, but was I wrong?

While I was thinking I continued patting Shii who was feeling good.

Shii requested several extensions for patting her.

“Shii has been too long! It’s unfair!”

The other girls raised their voice and finally she moved from my knee.

“Masatsugu, I am next!”

The dwarf girl Clarissa said that and brought out different herbs.

The leaves were sharp like a pine tree.

“I don’t know what will come out because I’ve never made with different herbs.”

Is what she said.

I see, that’s also fun.

I immediately invoked my Appraisal skill.

I did so and “Silans Herb” came out.

She immediately climbed up on my knee to make a potion of the Silans herb.

Why did my knee become a usual spot for making potions, well thinking won’t help me.

At any rate, she’s a craftswoman and she started working the mortar proficiently.

It seems me saying anything will not be needed.

“Please properly grasp my hands and give me advice.”

I was quietly watching over her and she raised an unsatisfied voice.

“No, even if you say that… As expected you’re a craftswoman, there is nothing for me to say.”

I replied troubled.

“That’s not true. Ehm, for example Masatsugu has big hands so by holding my hands we can firmly grind the ingredients. After that… Even if you say a craftswoman, I’m still inexperienced. Advice from Masatsugu who has a talent for craftsmanship is always beneficial. Rathen it’s required.”

Clarissa shook her head sharply and desperately said that.

I don’t quite understand the reasoning behind what she said or her thoughts.

Well, although if the craftswoman herself says that, then so it must be.

An amateur like me shouldn’t interrupt.

Thinking that, first I hug her from behind and grasp her hands.

“Master…”

When I did so somehow a sweet voice came out.

It’s the same from time with making a glass, she’s a bit ticklish.

While I was thinking that, I was helping her enough to not be a hindrance to her working.

And then after a bit we’ve grinded the Silans Herb into fine powder.

Clarissa like a craftswoman mixed it fast with magical liquid.

It reacted twice and a faint light came out. The mixing was complete.

I immediately invoked my Appraisal on her potion.

[Silencing Potion {Mid Grade}]

A potion that drank will be given the effect of silencing for considerable time. It was created with mixing Silans Herb with magical liquid. The creation requires a talent of some degree.

Ooh, mid grade. As expected of a dwarf.

“Amazing, it looks like a Mid Grade potion came out?”

I reported to Clarissa with glad.

“Lies… I shouldn’t be able to make them yet…”

She was surprised with disbelief at my words and said that.

Hm? What does she mean?

I couldn’t understand her and tilted my head and Elin opened her mouth.

“To be able to make an Mid Grade potion, you need talent and long years of practice. For her age it should still be impossible for her to make an mid grade potion. That’s how it is normally…”

Eh, is that how it is!? But, if that’s so…

“Why was it created this time?”

I simply asked. There wasn’t anything special done this time…

“The reason is Masatsugu-sama.”

But, Elin had an expression filled with conviction and like she knew the answer and said it.

Eh, why am I the reason?

Instead of surprised me, Elin just continued stating the truth.

“Probably, there is a correlation with the talent “Leader” Masatsugu-sama has. Originally Clarissa had some proficiency and ability but thanks to receiving Masatsugu-sama’s advice she was able to create mid-grade potion on first try.”

She said that and looked at me with respect.

“Oioi, that can’t be right? Surely it’s Clarissa creating the potion skillfully.”

I shook my head and said it with a wry smile.

“No, it’s not an error that’s it thanks to Master!”

“I also think of that!”

“I also assert as a demon king.”

But, looking at our conversation, Lucia, Shii and Laara spoke in a chorus.

“What’s gotten to you girls?”

I asked surprised.

“If you think about it a first time like me shouldn’t be able to create a potion on the first try. I think it’s thanks to Master’s advice!”

“I’m also extremely clumsy~ If it wasn’t for Masatsugu-san then I wouldn’t have created a potion~”

“I have a crude way of doing… I’m sure it was thanks to Masatsugu-dono.”

The girls with a very serious expression said that.

Un, is that so. I think it’s because all of you gave your best.

I still couldn’t agree with them so I had a troubled face.

“Why did Master’s own valuation become so low?”

“Truly amazing yet wasteful.”

“Well, there are good points~”

“I’m also irritated. I want to quickly get to a position worthy of my height.”

“It’s a technology even the dwarfs will accept.”

Looking at my state all of the girls took a breath and grumbled something I didn’t understand well.

Fuumu, I couldn’t understand the main details but it seems it was a topic about me.

Well, it’s not that important.

Talking about me isn’t anything particularly amusing.

“Now more than that, who’s next for creating potions? If we go in turns then next is Elin…”

For that reason, I immediately changed the topic.

“Can’t be helped…”

The girls were a bit unsatisfied at first but after looking at my face their faces became gentle and obediently resumed the mountaineering.

Umu, what does their expressions even mean?

I tilted my head in doubt, and followed behind the girls while chatting.

After a while the sun reached its peak and we reached the top of the mountain.

It’s like an open plateau. It’s just right for having lunch.

There’s still for Elin to create the potion so after having lunch should be okay.

I spread out the portable stove and immediately started cooking.
