Chapter 86 - Master's Left-Behind Panacea Recipe

"Well now, so this can suppress magic. It’s so thin and light."

Darius looked at the cloth Mireille handed him with a serious expression. But inwardly, he found it hilarious. Leonhard’s tragic air today, Kyle’s assumptions.

He probably would have thought the same thing if it weren’t for Ariel, but Ariel was much more extreme when it came to these things.

She had literally created a product by sewing threads of enchantment into lingerie.

He had only realized it because he found Ariel in her room in the tower, happily sewing underwear.

"A noble asked me. Is there anything that a man in front of you will fall for just by wearing it?"

"That’s not allowed. Listen, Ariel. If you create something that changes a person’s heart, you end up changing their life as well. Have you distributed it already?"

"No. I haven’t tried it on yet. I don’t release things to people until I’ve tried them several times and they succeed."

Right. That was the Moonshadow Teahouse’s policy. But that wasn't something to say with a triumphant look.

"Y, you haven't tried it, right?"

"I was thinking of trying it on Darius."

That... I would like to be tested on, but...

"I don’t think... the effect would be clear. I’m already charmed."

"My policy is not to release it outside until I’ve tried it several times. If I can’t test it, then it’s no good."

For the time being, it seemed the option of testing it on anyone other than me didn't exist. That alone was growth.

But if a product like that got out into the world, it could start a war. Absolutely forbidden! I had to painstakingly persuade her to always refuse requests for things that caused mental interference, saying she couldn't make them.

He recalled the memory and felt a pang of sadness.

Lately, watching Leonhard and Mireille just brought back old memories, and it was truly painful. The impatience to save her was the only thing that grew.

Darius took a deep breath, consciously trying to maintain his composure.

"How much of this cloth can you make?"

"Could I ask you to handle the task of turning the pelts to ash? If so, I think I can probably make enough for all the squad members in a day. Also, I’ll take some slime back with me."

They had obtained some hand slimes along with the monster fish in the last subjugation. Mireille decided to take a few of them back to the tower.

"Other than that, the squad members are grinding the carapace monster shells into powder. It looks pretty tough since it’s so hard." Since they had no machines, their only option was the primitive method of grinding it with rough rocks. But since everyone was working on it, they had produced a considerable amount of powder.

"I’ll borrow one set of armor and try making a prototype with magic defense. If that works, I think we can apply it to everything here at the base." Listening to Mireille, he understood that their equipment was finally nearing completion.

"Right. Darius-san. About this recipe my master wrote." It was the recipe for the Panacea with the X mark on it.

"Do you recognize this?" Darius took it, understanding that it was for Kyle’s childhood friend.

"I remember the Wings of Light. She said they depended on a fairy’s whim, so she had never been able to get them." Mireille’s eyes widened.

"Actually, I got them at a spring near the tower on a full moon night. So, if it goes well, could it really become a panacea?"

"Hmm, it’s hard to say at a stage where Ariel hadn’t even obtained the ingredients." Darius hummed in thought. But at the same time, the fact that her disciple was attempting something Ariel couldn’t was heartwarming. It meant that Ariel had properly raised someone.

I want to see Ariel soon. Darius’s chest tightened with a painful ache.
