「That’s right! Chief Moka said that they got leeway in the provision, so it’s the first time in a while that they ate until they were full.」
「So you were that cornered?」
「We severely lacked in means of transportation. ……So, we are really grateful to you.」
「I see. Well, I’m glad that I was of help. From now on, come to me if you have something you want to be delivered. I can even deliver straight from the storehouse district if you’d like.」
「Yes… You have my sincere gratitude, Axel-dono…!」
And while we were chatting—
「Kaay. I looked through them.」
Seems like Daisy finished reading the order letters.
「Well, for the time being, most of this I can prepare. Maintenance hammer for storehouse district, would the one made of metal infused with magic stone do? It has an『If possible』comment added to it though.」
As such a topic was brought up, the knight behind the captain spoke up.
「Yes. Since it will also be used to get raw materials from the God Tree. The wooden one will flick away with the God Tree’s hardness. Magic stone infused metal is preferable. Even so, it seems to be a pretty special piece that even a talented craftsman from a big workshop would have a hard time making, so if it’s hard to create then it’s fine to put it off—」
「No, I got it. I’ll make it now.」
「Eh, by now you mean……」
And before the knight could finish the sentence Daisy raised one hand, and—
「【Composition Magic: Hammer】」
And shouted those words.
That very instant, the ingots that were lying in the direction where she pointed her hand turned into particles of light.
That light then rushed to one spot and started to concentrate.
A few moments later that movement ceased and the light dissipated.
「Done.」
In that spot now were a few brand new sparkling hammers.
「Daisy-dono’s creation… It’s amazing no matter how many times I see it…」
「It’s my first time at Hero of Alchemy’s place, so crafting is this easy for you……」
The visitors just stood there with eyes wide open from astonishment.
……Daisy’s composition magic, huh.
As long as materials and a detailed image are there, an object can be made, skipping the process completely. It’s that kind of magic.
「……I didn’t see it in a while, but that was a magnificent display, Daisy.」
「Really?! Hearing that from you makes me really happy! And I’d be even happier if you brush me!!」
Being told so I rub her belly, and indeed, her expression grew even happier. However, she still tries to maintain it on a level that the captain and others standing behind wouldn’t notice.
When I thought that that’s an interestingly shrewd way to show your joy—
「Well, then, let’s craft a whole bunch!」
Daisy continued construction, and before even a couple of minutes have passed she made numerous items.
However, in the middle of that—
「Hm? ……Eh, what is this?」
Daisy stopped.
「What’s wrong, Daisy?」
「No, I just realized, but at the very bottom of the letter of order was a struckout line, but what is the deal with those 40 mental recovery potions?」
When asked, the captain lowered his head apologetically.
「Ah, sorry. I suggested it thinking of the research effectiveness of the magic science guild’s staff…And our senior pharmacist over here told me that making this many is not realistic, so I had it erased.」
The woman in white replied with a short 『of course』, and sighed.
「I know that there’s only a few bottles in the emergency storage at the storehouse district. But the degree of difficulty to produce it is too high. Even for a high ranking pharmacist, it will take at least three hours to produce one bottle, and for all that time, they will have to monopolize the equipment. If you have time to make it for every person, then it would be better to spend it on the actual research. We can’t occupy Daisy-sama’s equipment just to make something like that.」
「I see, I see……? Even so, it’s better if you actually had those?」
Nervously, the woman in white nodded to Daisy’s question.
「Well, yes. The mental fatigue is quite difficult to recover. But timewise…」
「No. Since we currently have tons of ingredients from the God Tree I can make this much right away. I was the one that suggested to make what you want.」
「Eh?」
After saying that, Daisy raised both hands—
「【Alchemy: Refine Advanced Medicine】」
Chanted. Then, in the same fashion, as it happened moments ago, a few raw materials in the surroundings turned into light. And—
「—Here you go, all done. Take it.」
When the light dissipated, a few dozen plugged bottles with deep orange-colored liquid were lined-up on the table.
「So many potent potions in less than a minute…!?」
Upon examining the bottles and opening one of them the pharmacist’s eyes went wide in shock.
「This characteristic orange color… This pungent sweet smell, no doubt, it’s indeed the potion of mental recovery. Wait…… Since it also has physical strength recovery materials, it might be able to also restore physical fatigue…… Or actually…」
「Yup, so you can tell that I added other effects. But, it can recover both your body and mind, so there is no disadvantage in using it.」
Daisy counted the number of bottles while saying this.
「Ehm… Yes, 40 bottles are there. Well, this much can be easily made. So for starters, just tell me what you want. If it can’t be made then I will reject it myself.」
「Y-yes! Understood!」
「……And, well, with that I guess I’m done with what seemed important or could’ve been easily made. You can carry this away.」
「Yes, thank you very much, hero of Alchemy-sama!」
And leaving words of gratitude the knight and woman in the white robe took some of the items made by Daisy and ran off from the lab.
Only Sidonius remained.
「Good gracious…… Creating so many tools and even potent medicine in such a short period of time. Daisy-dono’s power is terrifying. Combined with Axel-dono’s power, the strength of the heroes is tremendous……!
He said looking at me and Daisy.
「Well, that’s how the skills and abilities of my job go. I can replicate most of the objects unless they are too complex. In the case of tools that will work to extract raw materials or essence from something as hard as the God Tree it, as one would expect, will take at least a few days to manufacture.」
Daisy said putting her paw on equipment that stood in a corner of the lab.
「It took several years for the Magic Science Guild to make such equipment. During the war I recall you being called a little grand lab. Seeing it with my own eyes I can’t help but agree that that name did you justice.」
Daisy slightly smiled at Sidonius’ words.
「It brings back memories. My creations were used by various people, but the most vivid memory is the one when my buddy here used them.」
「Ah, indeed. Weapons made by you were especially sturdy, so, for the most part, I used nothing but them. I’m still actively using the spear and the sword that were improved by you.」
I remember the weapons that I had in my transportation bag.
They are still greatly useful to me even after I became a carrier. And when I told her that—
「Eh, you are still using them?!」
Daisy’s expression instantly turned into a cheerful one.
「Of course. I got quite attached to them.」
「I see… Well, I thought that they will last, considering how special they were, from the metals I used in the improvement process to every other bit. So you were still using them. Fufu…… So, my work proved to be worthwhile, I’m glad.」
Daisy said with a smile.
I’m glad that she is so happy about this. And while I thought so—
「However, Sidonius. It’s been bothering me for a while, but some of the items I made are still here. What are you going to do about them?」
Daisy asked Sidonius such a thing.
He looked over the items and then replied—
「Those are meant to be used up on the tree. Therefore…… I thought about putting another request to Axel-dono, and had them leave those here.」
Saying that, Sidonius then asked with a strained smile.
「It’s a bit awkward to ask since we just got saved by you, but…… Can I ask you to make another delivery to the top, Axel-dono?」
「Yeah, sure. Or rather, don’t worry and depend on me, just the way you do with Daisy.」
「Y-yes. Thank you very much, Axel-dono…!」
And, surrounded by fresh morning air I went for the top of the God Tree to deliver a number of items made by Daisy.
