I Shall Survive Using Potions!

(???)Wha

The middle-aged man was surprised and twitched his face.

I guess thats a given, when you came to buy something but was suddenly pointed with a sword by a female knight

I might have planned to move to threatening and coercion, but its still currently not at that stage yet, and he probably did not think that such a small store could hire an escort. Thats why, he came alone and intruded with oppressive attitude.

And the fact that he could not react at all to Francettes sword means that his fighting power is not a bigwait, if I compared most of them with Francette, would everyone also be a no big deal?

Anyway, it seems like I could collect some information calmly and gentlemanl- no no, maidenly.

***************

(Kaoru)So, this.., Baron Drivells son is in danger?

(Uncle)H-hey! Dont say such reckless things!

The uncle who is apparently a knight of the barony denied my words in panic.

Well, even if I said knight, its not like it will be full of people who looks young and cool.

If they had been active since young, then they could quit and took an administrative position instead, and if he ever get angry, he will also lose some hair. The flow of time is such a cruel thing, indeed

(Kaoru)No, but you said so now, right? And, even if hes a crown prince, wont you use that medicine unless hes almost dying?

Yup, I have heard about it from Roland. Its that, a situation that is something like this.

(Uncle)Uh T-thats right, but if you say something disturbing that lightly and it goes into someones ear, what would you do!? Theres a big difference between poor state and dangerous, you know!

Ah, if you say it like that, youre right

Especially, if theres a rumor that the aristocrats son and heir is in a dangerous state, it will likely turn into a family quarrel or something even more big. Its my bad.

(Kaoru)Im sorry

Theres no choice but to apologize here.

Well, if I apologize, my previous verbal slip will be laid off now.

Once more, I got into the offensive.

(Kaoru)So, from where and how much have you heard that we are selling rare medicine materials here?

Well, although I could expect that the source of the story came from that gramps, the difference between my prediction and decision is rather large. Besides, I need to confirm how far should I talk.

(Uncle)I think your prediction is on point, its from the healing sage, Sage Oldham.

The baron who heard that a child of a certain merchant drank a Long-lived Red Soil, threatene-persuaded the merchant and asked him where to find it. Then, he got the information that the merchant paid 100 gold coins and took the medicine, including the cost of acquiring those materials from Sage Oldham, who said that he had obtained several kinds of rare materials in the best condition with 80 gold coins.

And then, when I prayed for the safety and longevity to Sage Oldham in person and his disciple, I was reluctant at first but the Sage willingly told me where to obtain it.

By the way, I was told by Sage Oldham, If you go to the store, please tell her exactly that I wont tell anything, so Im just telling it as it is.

its already fully loaded with retorts.

First of all, Healing sage gramps!

Even if you blow too much, theres a certain extent to it, oi!!

I already heard from Roland that the price of that medicine is primarily made up by the cost of obtaining those said three materials. Other materials seem to be relatively easy to obtain at a reasonable price.

That is, he bragged about his findings of those three materials, which cost 80 gold coins, and paid only 6 small silver coins.

Damn you, shitty gramps

No, but isnt this fine?

Even if that gramps sells his medicine, it has nothing to do with me, and this is a better outcome rather than he said I bought it for just six small silver coins and so on

This time, if I sell it with that kind of price, the quality will be questionable. Hence, even if the information from the source leaked out, the resellers wont be crowded with people as its a quite expensive materials. Gramps, good job, huh?

If so, now I dont need to say I sold it for six small silver coinswait! Is this your aim, grampsss!?

(Kaoru)Then, what about the thing which we said that we wont sell it here anymore?

(Uncle)Im listening. However, I need to get it in a very good shape due to an emergency. I would say it again and again as long as theres still a chance for it.

Please, only this once. I need your help for Charlot-samas sake. Please I beg of you

Im surprised. A proud middle-aged uncle, who serves as a knight for an aristocrat family, bowed to an unknown little girl like me

But, this is a problem.

I was going to treat him coldly if he force, command, or pressuring me arrogantly, but I felt awkward and unwilling to turn this uncle down as he already bowed to a little girl for the sake of his masters child. But, I also cant patronized with the uncle too.

Gununununu..

Francette was looking at me, who is currently suffering, with eyes that have already given up on him.

Damn it Francette, dont you have a little sympathy with this uncle?

Well, because shes in love with Roland, she probably likes the type of a gorgeous prince or a young knight. If you dont know this uncles good spots, youre still immature, you know.

Wait, this is not the time to think about that!

Ununu

However, my reply is nothing but this

(Kaoru)We already ceased contact with the supplier. When we decided to stop handling this case, I changed the contact place of the supplier so that it would not be a nuisance for them to be followed around by some influential person. Hence, if we send a purchase order, it will only be replied with an absence, and we wont be able to find the supplier even if I go there.

Also, if theres any contact with my name from now on, it will be regarded as a fake, so I have said to them that they could stop the contact, threaten or torture the fake ones and give out some information about some vicious clans.It would also be appreciated if they could get rid of them too

(Uncle)Wha-!

The uncle leaked out a surprised voice because of my thoroughly prepared reasoning.

And Francette saw me with suspicious eyes.

Geez, werent you used to it already, to my absorption of irresponsible remarks

(Uncle)T-then, the material for the medicine is

(Kaoru)As you have heard from the Healing Sage, I will receive it no more. Also, there is no possible way to receive it again. This stores medical related goods are only basic medicines and medical supplies such as bandages. Since this is only a Convenience Store for temporary expedient, its our policy to leave the full-fledged products to those specialty stores

Its obvious. Why would there be a convenience store that has a large selection of products like a specialty store!?

However, the uncles disappointment and frustration turned worse. Better yet, if he gets angry and does something outrageous, it will make it better for us, though. Since its like this, my feeling of guilt is still.

However, if I said we can prepare it! here, it will be the same like last time again. That is absolutely unacceptable. No matter how the uncle looks at me with puppy eyes just like a chihuahua cast in the rain. Ghhhh!!

(Francette)Kaoru-chan, cant you give him something?

The uncle, who got an unexpected reinforcement from Francettes sudden words, made sparkling eyes.

Et tu, Fran?

(Kaoru)

Even if I think about it, its a waste of time.

If you request earnestly, you could get the rare materials.

If such story spreads, it will be a one-shot out.

No matter how much they shut their mouth, what would they do if the baron family got sick again? For example, this time, its the wife or the daughter.

And what about the other nobles that are clinging to them? What about their family? Or in the case of their important retainer or his family?

If I was requested by a high-ranked noble family? Or rather, ordered by the royal family?

The probability that the secret will be kept in favor of the promise with a commoner little girl is probably zero.

Theres no choice but to give up and leave.

(Kaoru)Im sorry, but there is nothing we could do anymore.

And the uncle went home with heavy feet.

Okay so, Francette, whats with that reproachful eyes!?
