Walking in Another World

om my bag and place them on the counter.

“Potions? Sure.
I will call the person responsible for this sort of thing, so please wait.”

The receptionist goes to the back, and I don’t have to wait long until said person responsible arrives.

“How did you get these?”

“I got them from a certain connection while traveling.”

I obviously can’t say I made them.

“They are pretty well made.
Are you selling all of them?”

“Ah, yes.”

“I see.
I can pay three silver coins for healing potions, fifty for mana potions, and ten for stamina potions.
That brings us to a total of six gold coins and thirty silver coins.
Will you sell them?”

“…Yes please.”

“Should we deposit it into your card?”

“Only the gold coins.”

I take the silver coins, and we leave the merchant guild.

“What is it master?”

“I don’t know the standards of the value of potions.
Do you know?”

“Yes.
Your potions are high quality.”

“That’s not true.
Those potions were all slight and small in regards to their quality.”

“…? What are you talking about, master? They were all high quality.”

I don’t think we’re on the same page.

After patiently hearing Hikari’s explanation, I learn that potions’ quality is separated by color.

The lighter they are the worse their effect, and the deeper they are the better.
So my potions were bought at a high price because they all had a nice, thick color.

Is that right? When I check with Appraisal, it says slight, small, medium, or high.
I figured this was about the effectiveness of the healing itself, but have I been wrong?

Do I need to test it? But testing healing potions means hurting myself and draining my HP… I don’t want to go out of my way to be in pain.

That means I have to test with mana potions or stamina potions, but they are pretty expensive.
Still, I think I really should test this.

“Master, where are you going?”

“To an item shop, and I also want to stop by a weapon shop.
I want to head to the holy capital, so I need to prepare.”

“All right.
I want a weapon to protect master with these hands.”

“Thank you, but don’t try so hard.
I don’t want to see you get hurt.”

“You would be sad?”

“Yes.
So make sure to treasure your life.”

“Yes.
Understood.”

I need to be insistent to the point of being annoying or Hikari won’t understand, since she’s pretty indifferent about herself.
She said yes without any resistance, but if she acted like a rebellious kid and said something like ‘you’re being annoying master’ I’d probably take some emotional damage.
Is this what it’s like to have a daughter…? Probably not.

I check when horsebuses are leaving… And just as I expected, they’re full.

“Master, are we walking?”

“Yes.
Are you all right?”

She nods, and seems fired up.

“Tomorrow we’ll buy ingredients to cook.
Let’s go around the stalls and eat some nice things there too.”

“Wonderful suggestion.”

So I wasn’t just imagining it when I thought she’s actually kind of a glutton.
