After Retirement, Living a Stud Life in Another World - 115

Chapter 115: Is She a Big Shot by Any Chance?

“Um… I don’t quite understand what Lord Lutz is saying.”

“Claudia has confidence in her ability to skillfully manipulate magic, but she’s worried about her low magical power. So… have you heard about my ability from Beato?”

“Ah…”

Clara finally seemed to understand. It seems that Beato would have told her beloved sister about my ability to become a magic mobile battery, although it’s known only to a limited few.

If I continue to infuse her with magic, there won’t be any issues with the upper limit of magical power. Then, it’ll be time for her learned knowledge, skills, and her tirelessly honed magic control abilities to shine, even though they might not seem useful.

“Well then, shall we try making an antidote potion? Do you know the recipe?”

“Of course… Please don’t make fun of me.”

Oh? Clara, who had only been making passive remarks until now, finally squeezed out assertive words for the first time. It must be her pride in not neglecting her studies for years that made her do so.

“Then first…”

As I placed my hand on her back, heading towards the workbench, I could feel her muscles tense up. She might not be used to a man’s touch yet, but we have to endure it here to move forward.

“It’s flowing in…”

Clara spoke involuntarily. Although I didn’t understand it as always, it seems that magic is flowing into her. After using up all my magic capacity just now, it seems to be charging at an incredible speed… but since I can’t use magic, I can’t feel any of that at all.

Gradually, the stiffness in her body eased, and the pleasant softness peculiar to women returned. Her chestnut-colored soft-looking hair also swelled up with magic.

“It seems possible, I’ll do it.”

And then, she promptly began processing the ingredients. Her movements were completely decisive… she must have been simulating the work for varieties of potions that couldn’t be made due to magical constraints for years. Even though she wasn’t blessed with talent, she is the hardworking princess.

And she began pouring magic into the potion. Of course, since I’ve been in contact with her all along, she’s in a smartphone-like state connected to a mobile battery.

“This sensation… it’s my first time. I can do it, I can!”

Her voice was filled with strength. Somehow, it seemed like a faint light was emitting from the potion.

Soon, she exhaled deeply. It seems she finished making the potion… the identification sister took the potion without me ordering and examined its quality.

“T-This is it! Just as I thought, it’s… top-grade! With this, even dragon poison can be cured, it’s amazing!”

The identification sister rejoiced as if she had made it herself, but I understand her feelings. Top-grade potions are hardly seen in Berzenbrück.

Potions range from low-grade to intermediate, and then top-grade, but the recipe is the same. However, the effects vary greatly depending on the grade, and it’s solely up to the skill of the maker to create that difference. Even the best pharmacist in Berzenbrück can only make top-grade health potions, and when it comes to more difficult top-grade antidotes, only imported ones exist. If such a precious top-grade antidote potion could be made right in front of her eyes, it’s only natural to be excited.

The antidote Clara made was a bright green color like emerald… it was clear and free of impurities, shining like the finest gem.

“It’s beautiful. But… why was the health potion only intermediate? The antidote seems to have a lower difficulty level, right?”

“Yes. For the first one, I had to be mindful of running out of magic, so I couldn’t put my full effort into magic control…”

Ah, I see. The second one had a mobile battery, so the smartphone could rotate at full power. In that case, if I ensure the supply of magic, this woman will become the best pharmacist in Berzenbrück. Her talent was not innate, but earned through effort… my Showa mentality finds that very beautiful.

“Uh, um…”

“What is it?”

The identification sister, still with teary eyes from the excitement, timidly interjected.

“After seeing something so wonderful, um… other potions…”

Ah, I see. When shown something as amazing as a top-grade antidote, it’s natural for magic enthusiasts to want to see the limits of that ability.

“Alright, but… it’s confidential that she can continuously produce potions. If it leaks out… you understand, right?”

Yes, Clara’s exceptional ability is not something that should be widely known. Well, she’s already going by a pseudonym.

But if it were known that she could continuously produce potions, it would inevitably lead to the discovery of my mobile battery ability. That would be problematic in various ways.

“Y-Yes…”

For now, it seems the threat worked. I’ll have to give this sister some candy later to keep her quiet.

“Alright, then shall we try all the recipes Claudia knows?”

“There are nearly a hundred, is that okay?”

“…Let’s stick to the main ones.”

She’s a terrifying princess, seriously.
