Chapter 95 – New Events and Migratory Bird Policy Meeting

Toby came back to the desert two days after we resumed logging in on TB.

In the meantime, we spent our time as we wished, with no particular goal in mind.

Yumir and I did some preliminary research on the cultivation of farmland.

Riizu is buying materials and studying to make items.

Selene went about her business as usual, blacksmithing.

“So, why is Yumir down, that she is?”

“I hope you can guess by looking at the bottle lying in that guy’s hand.”

“…?”

Yumir is lying face down on the floor of one of the rooms in the guild home, with the remains of the potion bottles lying around her.

And ignoring this, Riizu mixes the herbs at her own pace using a mortar at the table.

“I don’t know. I don’t know,” Yumir said suddenly, “What does a recovery potion taste like? I don’t know.”

“Ah, ah. I know what you mean. You mean you drank?”

“Correct. I heard the regular portions were good.”

She was in a good mood and drank one after another, and this was the result.

She was just watching me and Liz dispense the medicine, so I can understand why you were bored. ……

“Well, first, …….”

“Oh, I’m up, that I am.”

“The first potion tasted like a nutritional drink. But this antidote …… ugh …….”

“Don’t throw up, okay? I don’t know if you can throw up in games, but don’t ever throw up!”

“I’m fine.”

He rubs her back and gives Yumir some water, which is precious in the desert.

Push the bitterness down your throat with this.

She’s drunk on camels, she’s drunk on drugs, what the hell, really.

“No one would ever guess that this is the winner of the tournament. ……”

“It’s an utter abomination. ……”

“It’s stupid. No doubt about it.”

“What the hell– ugh!”

“Don’t scream. And before that, don’t try to force yourself to speak until you calm down.”

The antidote was bitter and smelled like a strong herbal medicine.

By the way, the effects of recovery medicines are the same whether you drink them or pour them over your body.

Volunteers have already verified this, so this is simply due to Yumir’s curiosity.

“But you’ve bought an awful lot of materials, that you have.”

Tired from the long trip, Tobi slumped down in his chair and looked at the herbs on the table.

As well as medicinal herbs, there was a large collection of mixing tools.

This room is also a kind of workshop, different from the forge. I wonder if I should call it the apothecary?

In addition to mixing, it can be processed in various ways, including grinding, drying, and heating.

“Well, I’ve got plenty of money on me at the moment. I just need to make a few things and get some experience.”

“It’s cheaper to just make them from the materials on the trading board than it is to buy them from the NPC store. I’ve only just started, though, so the added effects are nowhere near as good.”

“Oh, I see. Then what is this unfamiliar purple liquid bottle over here? It doesn’t look like a potion. ……”

“It’s poison.”

When Tobi heard the word “poison,” he retracted his outstretched hand.

Basically, most potions are clear blue or green, but this potion is a murky purple.

“Oh …… Yumir, be careful not to drink this one by mistake, that you will.”

“…… Even I wouldn’t eat something as dangerous as that.”

Yumir replies, breathing slightly raggedly, as if she has recovered a little.

If you get poisoned, the condition itself can be cured with “Recover”, but I don’t even want to imagine what your throat will look like if you drink it.

By the way, Riizu seems to be better at refining poisons than I am.

If anything, she is struggling more with the recovery medicine.

I’m better at restorative medicine, so we could share the work completely. ……

It’s possible that Riizu will improve in the future, so we’ll have to wait and see what she does.

“Now that Tobi’s back, we’ll all get together. Tobi, go get Selene. I think she’s at the forge.”

“Yes, sir. So, where are Lord Hind and the others?”

“We’ll clean up here and then go.”

Riizu, who had been concentrating on mixing the medicine, looked up and answered that question for me.

The contents of the mortar in Liz’s hand are a stagnant purple color – or is it poison again?

I’d be happier with a recovery potion than a poison potion. ……

No wonder I thought I was well equipped with gloves and a mask.

“Yumir is …… haha. It’s just like this. Please, Tobi.”

“Ugh. ……”

So, we’re going to get together for a quick guild policy meeting.

I think I’ll prepare something light for Yumir to eat as well.

I’m feeling a little less than full, so the timing is perfect.

“Hahahahahaha! Fuuuuuck!”

“Yes, yes. Then get on with it, Guildmaster.”

“Hmm. …… Hind, you do it.”

“You’re throwing me under the bus. ……

Today’s menu was a fruit sandwich made with fruit from the market and fresh cream on bread.

The refreshing taste and aroma of the fruit refreshes your mouth.

After eating it, Yumir immediately became energetic and pushed me to facilitate the meeting.

The place was the common room of the guild home, where everyone was relaxed and drinking herbal tea.

“So I’ll do it. Let’s see, …… today, the next new event has already been announced…”

“It’s an item contest, isn’t it? I thought this would be a good place for you to show off your skills, Secchan.”

“Oh, yeah. I’m going to try to get some sort of weapon or armor out, but …… what about you guys?”

This information is based on the announcement on the official page.

After the grueling combat events, it seems that the next step was to hold an item contest to balance out and allow the main production players to be active.

The contest is divided into different categories, the first one that catches the eye is the weapon and armor category, which focuses on performance.

Other categories include costumes that emphasize the appearance of the wearer, items that heal, items that interfere, items that temporarily increase abilities, and unusual and useful items.

“Our guild is clearly omnivorous, right, Guildmaster?”

“Mmm. I’m going to actively participate in every event, without thinking about what I’m not good at!”

“That’s how it is. This time, I think I’ll mainly support Selene’s blacksmithing, and the other members will each display something they like, what do you think?”

Tobi and Riizu nodded at the suggestion from me and Yumir.

It is a shame that there is no cooking category this time, but let’s hope that …… will be held soon.

“So, I guess we’ll be focusing on production for a while. Yumir is mainly in charge of cultivating the farmland, so if you’re available, we’d appreciate your help.”

“But your first priority is to gather materials for Selene-dono’s smithing, that it is?”

“That’s right. We’ll have to explore the unexplored areas together.”

“Yeah, thanks. I hope you find something. ……”

It would be much easier for Selene if she could find some rare metals, and if she could get some jewelry.

She’s very good at what she does, and I think her choice of materials will make a big difference in the outcome.

“Well, that’s about it. It seems that there are no objections, so Tobi, Riizu and Selene, you go work on your ideas for items to be displayed.”

“Mmm? That means that Hind and Ymir are going somewhere?”

“Oh …… hey, I’m here to welcome the new inhabitants of the desert.”

“That’s what I’m talking about!”

At our words, Tobi put a further question mark on his head.

I opened my mouth again to explain the details.

TN: This story is more difficult to translate than others and requires more effort to understand. I machine translate and only edit enough for me to understand and enjoy the stories. I am not prepared to spend the hours it takes to properly edit each chapter.
