“There must be a potion that Yul always makes.”

He said he planned to spend the New Year with his family and return to the lab.

January 1st passed, and after a few days of rest with my family, it was time to return.

“… “It would be right to go to the lab, right?”

As long as you return within 7 days, you will be able to receive the potion from her and go to the front lines.

Because of Damon, I was able to save as much time as possible.

next day.

After signing a contract to tear down the building next door and build a new one, I stopped by Yul’s lab.

“The door… “It’s open?”

Surprisingly, steam was rising outside the lab.

I could see light inside the window, and I could feel the presence of busy people.

I rang the bell to alert Yul inside.

“who are you?”

“it’s me.”

“Sponsor?!”

The door suddenly opened and Yul came out from inside.

“hi.”

“What’s going on? “I was going to go first.”

“Did you have a good holiday?”

“yes!”

Yul’s cheeks were plump, as if he had been eating well and staying at home.

No matter how much I fed him, he never got that chubby.

I guess there’s nothing better than a mother’s touch.

‘hmm?’

Although it didn’t really apply to me.

“Did your sponsor have a good holiday?”

“I had a good time doing the overdue work.”

“Did you work?!”

“huh. “I have to go far soon.”

“Has something gone wrong again?”

I guess I thought it was going to something related to the infectious disease.

“no. “It’s out of our hands now, so we don’t have to worry about it, and we have to get busy with other things.”

“… “If you go back to work as soon as the matter is resolved, when on earth do you get a break?”

“me?”

Most of the things I had to do were things that couldn’t be put off.

So even when others were resting, I had to work hard for Daum.

I have never thought that it was particularly unfair or unfair.

“I usually rest well. “I’ve been resting for a while, but I’ve been a little busy these days.”

Of course, even when taking a break, there is an item draw at the top, so there is no point in calling it a break.

However, looking at my daily life anyway, I thought it would be better to kill time by doing something like that since I was going to spend my time being bored.

“I don’t know much, but when I see sponsors, they are always busy walking around.”

“hmm… .”

When I thought about what I did last year, it wasn’t easy to refute Yul’s words.

“I had no choice but to be busy. “There was so much to do last year.”

However, I couldn’t guarantee that this year wouldn’t be busy.

This year, like last year, we will have to be very busy.

‘What is there for me to do?’

I just thought about it for a moment, and a list popped into my head.

There are more than four that immediately come to mind.

It seems like I’ve always had a lot of things to do over the past year, and it seemed like there was still a lot of things to do in the future, but it didn’t seem like there was going to be any less.

‘There is no time to rest. But what can I do?’

All the things that need to be done are important things that cannot be postponed.

“So you can take some time off this year? “After that is over.”

“… “There’s no need to worry about me.”

I couldn’t lie and say that I would be able to rest, so I tried to divert the conversation, and Yul seemed to have noticed and said pointedly.

“Once you finish your new work, you have to move on to the next work like now, right? “You can’t even rest properly.”

“hmm… You’re not trying to tell me to take care of my body, are you? I am a thirty year old man. “I’m not a child who doesn’t know how to take care of myself.”

There is nothing more funny and outrageous than hearing a child nag you to take care of yourself.

“You always took care of me and told me to take care of myself. I’m telling you to take your time, relax, and study. But it seems like the sponsor doesn’t really take care of himself.”

“I’m not like you, working too hard without eating or sleeping. “You can’t say that taking things easy is the same as you.”

Still, I was surprised that she was worried about me.

“I know what you’re worried about. “Thank you for your concern, and as you said, I will take it easy and think about myself while working.”

“It’s cold, come inside! “I have something to give you at the moment.”

Following Yul’s words, I followed her inside.

“It’s been a while since you came back?”

When I went inside, I saw a pile of luggage that had not yet been unpacked.

“Yes, I just arrived.”

“If I had come earlier, we wouldn’t have met you.”

“This and this and this. “My mother told me to take it to give it to my sponsor.”

“Why are there so many?”

“It’s food.”

“There are too many.”

There is fruit, raw meat, and food that appears to be homemade.

The carefully prepared food was probably prepared to feed the family.

“I hope you enjoy it.”

“Okay, thank you. “Eat well.”

It seemed like people would prefer to just accept it rather than reject it, so I decided to obediently take it.

And I brought up the matter to Yul.

“Actually, I came because I had a favor to ask.”

“Say as much as you want!”

Seeing his eyes sparkle, it seemed like he would be able to get the item without difficulty.

“Is there a powerful attack potion that melts rather than explodes? “For throwing.”

“I don’t have it right now, but I can make it for you if you need it.”

“How much can you make? “You’ll need quite a bit.”

“It is quite possible to make it in large quantities. “You know.”

I was the one who connected the potion that Yul made to the top.

I have a lot of experience making potions in large quantities while dealing with merchants, and thanks to that, I have the ability to fulfill any request I have.

“But are you going to use something that melts on monsters? “It won’t have much of an effect.”

“I’m not going to use it against monsters, I’m going to use it to destroy the eggs they lay.”

“Al?”

Yul showed interest in the idea of a monster egg.

“Are you going to get rid of monster eggs?”

“uh. “I found a place called a hatchery, and I’m going to work with the military to destroy it.”

“Are you going with us, our sponsor?”

“It’s not a direct fight, but it feels like a location guide.”

“It looks like the hatchery was discovered by a sponsor. “If it’s a hatchery, isn’t it a contaminated area?”

“yes.”

I guess I don’t understand when, in all my busy life, I’ve done something like that again.

“Make as much as you can within 2-3 days.”

That was the amount of time I could give as much as possible when I used my time as frugally as possible.

If we had to wait three days before moving, we would have had to continue flying while riding Damon, ignoring day and night.

Then maybe we’ll arrive just in the nick of time?

Even if I was a little late, I didn’t have to worry too much because I could just ride Damon into the contaminated zone and join the group.

If it was a potion to take from Yul, it was worth being late.

“You don’t specify the quantity, just make it?”

“Well, no matter how much you make, I’ll take it all.”

“Are you confident about mass producing it? “What should I do if they tell me later that I made too much?”

“That won’t happen.”

“… You are very confident. “I suddenly felt like I wanted to surprise my sponsor.”

“Haha, yes. Try to surprise me without any regrets. “Tell me what ingredients you need and I’ll get them to you as quickly as possible.”

“yes! “I’ll write it down.”

I don’t know how much you’re trying to make by saying you want to surprise me.

And if they made enough to surprise me, that was a good thing.

Whether it’s a hundred or a thousand, we can accommodate them all.

“uh. As much as you can. It’s so big that there are barely a few hundred of them. And since there is not just one hatchery, if there are any left over, you can use them again next time.”

“all right. “Please prepare plenty of ingredients.”

“I will continue to provide it indefinitely.”

It wasn’t my intention or request, but this seemed like a good opportunity to see how much she could produce.

※ ※ ※

While I had entrusted the potion request to Yul, I quickly moved and got the job done.

Time passed so hecticly that we were almost ready to leave for the front lines.

Yul requested a visit.

He said he would wait up to 3 days, but he confidently called me after 2 days, saying there was no need for that.

I knew that her confidence wasn’t for nothing.

This is because the quantity of ingredients she took was already known through the above.

“Should we produce more here?”

“No, this is enough.”

I tried to give as much time as possible to receive as many orders as possible, but it seemed like I would have to admit that I had lost.

“Actually, I heard how much material you took.”

“Are you surprised?”

“uh. “I couldn’t help but be surprised when I saw that it took more than I could have imagined.”

How can they make 2,000 potions in two days?

“It worked! “Surprise your sponsor!”

There is no success reward, but I really like it.

“Anyway, it would be impossible for me to take it all by myself.”

“I hurried as much as I could, but maybe I was late?”

“You should ask the people at the top. “I will personally carry the supplies I will use right away.”

‘You couldn’t have made it all night, right? No, I think you have to do that to make it like this.’

The face didn’t seem to be seriously damaged, but I was suspicious.

Still, this time it was my fault for making the request in a hurry, so I decided to cover the request fee generously and move on.

‘I guess I should try to find something he might like?’

If Yul likes something, it would be items related to alchemy, like the reward he received from Princess Mona.

But rather than such an obvious gift, I wanted to give her a gift she had never received before.

‘I moved from the non-combat world to the combat world, so I probably don’t have the right equipment yet.’

I thought it would be good if I could match that.

It may not be the gift you will like the most, but it will give you something you need the most.

‘If possible, I should commission a famous craftsman.’

The best entry-level equipment is the equipment I pick up from the store, but personalized equipment boasts just as good a quality as what you get from a craftsman.

A craftsman of that level is chosen to be selected, but I understand that it is usually based on the reputation of the family.
