Still, the fact that you're pretty awesome because you call yourself an alchemist, I get it, but why did you call me something? I decided to ask.

"For once, Mr. Eleonora said," I know you're amazing, but why did you call me? "

"Well, I thought you were a good potion maker."

"? Why?

What did you think made potions well? Besides, I've only made potions twice, but you're good? I'm not sure when they ask. Well, there's only one potion sold in the guild up to the C-rank, but for once, I think that's pretty good because I can make it up to the B-rank...

"I know some things because of the smell of herbs coming from you. Because I think you can make as many potions as the C-rank."

"With the smell of herbs?

"Yes. Do you have any idea what I was doing when I was making potions?

I remembered when I was trying to increase the concentration of potion thinking about what I was doing when I was making potion thinking about it. I thought the smell of herbs might have gotten tighter when I was making it.

"... is that the smell of it?

"Yes, yes."

"Is it something that even ranks the potion because of the smell?

"I know that to a certain extent because I make it well. Well, if you make it yourself, you can adjust the rank."

"Really..."

Is it something you would know if you made it well? Besides, I can't believe I can control my rank. I thought maybe I had to do that because I'm making a lot of potions.

"So what... why don't you come work in my workshop?

"Huh?"

I was surprised I didn't think you'd say that, though I thought you had something to talk about and called me out. Do you solicit people like that the first time you meet them in the first place? I thought.

"You're still young, aren't you? If that's what you're willing to do, I thought you were gonna be a good alchemist, but how about that?

(Uh-huh. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm also a little concerned about alchemy... but suddenly, I don't think I'm going to make anything, so they're just going to do chores? Besides, I'd like to act as an adventurer...)

"I'm also curious about alchemy, but I have a life now, so... it's difficult."

"I'll take care of my life, won't I?

I'm just a little concerned if you say so, but I'd like to clean up about Youre at least... And there's also the knife.

"Because I have other things to do..."

"Really?"

and Mr. Eleonora, unfortunately. I don't know if it's worth it enough to make me look sorry, but, well, not a bad person, is it? I thought maybe so.

"Well, this time, I'm going to give up, because I might have trouble taking you there. But you were concerned about alchemy, too, so I'll tell you a little someday when you come to my workshop."

I thought it might be a good idea to stop by if you have anything to do. I heard Mr. Eleonora's base.

"Okay. Where does Mr. Eleonora run the workshop?

"I have a workshop in Asinez, the king's capital. I think if you ask someone my name, they can tell you where it is. Are you still famous?

"Really?

"Yeah,... so let me know your name, huh?

Speaking of which, I realized that I had not yet given Mr. Eleonora his name.

"I'm Lena."

"You're Lena. I remember. If you get a chance, why don't you?

"Yes."

Then I exchanged a few words and broke up with Mr. Eleonora and went back to my room.
