A Creative Alchemist Enjoys His Freedom – After Being Banished from His Hometown, He Is Now Free to Create Magical Items with Incredible Effects Under the Control of the Demon King - Episode 6

Episode 6: “Making an Item from the Hero’s World”

“……Found it.”

　Among the 『Health Goods』 I found earlier, there was a recovery item for people who suffered from cold feet.
　It was shaped like a square bucket.
　There was space for both feet, and glowing letters were displayed at the front.

“The name is 『Warm Water Foot Bath Tub』.”

　The description reads as follows:

──────────────────

『The powerful water current and vibration will warm your feet.
　Improves bl00d flow throughout the body and relieves cold feet! Warms up the whole body!
　It also stimulates pressure points on the feet, improving the flow of energy (individual results may vary)!
　From the day you start using it, you can enjoy a comfortable life free from coldness! 』

──────────────────

“As expected from a book about a world where heroes existed, It’s quite persuasive.”
“Um… Thor-sama. What exactly is it?”
“Since I was given this warehouse and the materials, I decided to make this item.”

　I showed Mabel a page from the book.

“This is…A bucket to put your feet in…Is that right?”
“Can you help me make it?”
“Yes, of course. Please feel free to ask me anything.”

　The bucket was near the cleaning supplies.
　It was a big metal thing, and I could put my feet in it together.

“So, can you wash this for me?”
“Y-Yes.”

　Mabel left the warehouse with a bucket in her hand.

　According to this 『Mail Order Catalogue』, the 『Warm Water Foot Bath Tub』 apparently vibrates the warm water inside the bucket.
　In that case, what we needed was a fire magic stone and a wind magic stone.
　I was sure there were shields with a magic stone attached around here in the warehouse.

　I found it as soon as I looked for it.
　When I looked into it──

『Shield of Fire』

　A shield that shoots flames in response to enemy attacks.
(The magic mechanism inside is completely broken, so it cannot be operated.)

『Wind Shield』

　Creates a windstorm that blows away enemy arrows.
(The internal magical mechanism is completely destroyed, making it impossible to operate.)

　Even if it was broken, that was fine.
　Let’s just take the magic stones.

“『Creative Alchemy』activate──-“

    The『Creative Alchemy』skill was activated.
　This skill could transform matter.
　When I touched the shield while the skill was active…

　Squishy.

　The shield had softened.
　Even though it was metal, it was squishy.

　This 『Creative Alchemy』 seemed to allow me to freely transform anything I regarded as a material.
　I twisted the magic stone around it and pulled it—and it came off.
　In the same way, I retrieved the wind magic stones.

　Let’s use the shield as the material of the 『warm water foot bath foot bath』.

“Sorry to keep you waiting… wait, what?!”
“What’s the matter, Mabel-san?”
“That’s… the shield in the warehouse, right?”
“Was it something important?”
“No… but why is it getting softer?”
“Please”

　I held it out to her, and Mabel reached for the softened shield.

　Squishy, ​​squishy.

　She poked the rolled-up shield, enjoying its soft feel.

“What is this feeling? It reminds me of when I was playing in the mud as a kid…”
“Is the bucket clean?”
“Y-Yes.”
“It’s shiny. Thank you.”

　All I needed was this bucket, a soft shield, a fire magic stone, and a wind magic stone.
　Use this material to copy items from another world.

“Activate 『Creative Alchemy』. Create a health goods from the Hero World 『Warm Water Foot Bathtub』.

　The shape of a 『Foot Bath Tub』 appeared in the air.
　When the bucket was fitted into the soft shield, the shape of the bucket changed to a square, like a foot bathtub.

『Creative Alchemy』 demonstrated.
　Next, I needed to insert the fire magic stone and the wind magic stone.
　This acted as a power source to produce warm water and vibrations.

　Following the image, I buried the magic stone in the bucket.
　I increased my focus.
　I Imagined a place where magical power overflowed from magic stones and dissolved in water.

　Probably, I couldn’t make exactly the same thing as 『Warm Water Foot Bathtub』 in the world of the heroes.
　The levels of culture were so different.
　But it seemed possible to create something that would produce a similar effect.

　I didn’t understand the principles behind items in the Hero’s World.
　That was why in this world, we used magic power and magic stones.

　The powerful water currents and vibrations, would warm Mabel’s feet, and improve bl00d flow throughout her body, and relieve her chills. This also stimulated the pressure points on her feet-I didn’t know what it meant── to make her feel more comfortable.

『Check the image. An item can be created.』

　When I opened my eyes, I saw a 『Warm water Foot Bath Tub』 that looked just like the image in 『Mail order catalogue』.
　It was a success!

“『Creative Alchemy』──Complete.”

　As it declared, the square bucket emitted a faint light.
　By touching the surface and examining it,

──────────────────

『Warm water foot bathtub』(Attributes: Fire, Water, Wind) (Rarity: ★★☆)

　The fire magic stone can heat the water inside.
　The wind magic stone allows you to create water currents and bubbles.

　Magic stones are consumables and need to be replaced periodically (once a year).
　When washing, use fresh water. Do not use detergent.
　Physical Destruction Resistance: ★★★ (can only be destroyed with magical weapons).
　Service life: 25 years.

　I understood. Since I made it, I can get more detailed information.

“…Umm, Thor-sama.”
“Yes. Mabel-san.”
“Are you done yet?”
“Yes, it seems I did.”
“It hasn’t even been ten minutes since you said you would make it.”
“It was good to have all the materials.”
“Um… are all the Imperial alchemists like this?”
“I don’t know any alchemists, so I don’t know.”

　My father told me, “Don’t get too cocky. There are alchemists like you everywhere!”
　I wasn’t allowed inside the alchemist’s workshop, so I don’t really know.

“There are quite a lot of them, aren’t there?”
“There are many… many alchemists with the same powers as Thor-sama.”
“In the first place, what I made was a copy of something that existed in the hero’s world. It’s nothing to be surprised about.”
“A copy of the hero’s item. In such a short time…”
“Mabel-san, your face looks blue.”
“No, it’s okay.”

　Mabel-san clutched the chest of her maid uniform,

“This, is it okay if I use it once?”
“No. I’ll give it to you.”
“To me?! Even if it’s just a copy, it’s an item from the hero’s world!”
“Just take me to the water source. I’ll teach you how to use it.”

　So Mabel and I decided to head to the castle’s water area.
