Chapter 100

Translator: “Pink Tea” Editor: ”Weasalopes”

When I appraised the town’s people that were turned to stone .

【Permanent petrifaction】

＜Petrifaction state, maintained indefinitely . ＞

It’s too pitiful, so I will change the sentence and make it impossible to maintain .

LP required for tp destroy the skill is… 6000?!

I despair .

As I possessed less than 5000 LP it was just impossible…

「It more expensive than I expected . My current LP is not enough . 」

「Then, how about all of us help accumulate LP for Noir-dono?」

Luna-san had a nice idea but I’m a bit troubled since the first one to jump onto it was Perido-san .

「There is a way?! If there is anything I can do, I will cooperate!」

「Perido-san, that’s a bit…」

「Am I not good…?」

I’m not interested in men, sorry . Looks like there are no enemies in town, so we try to enter inside of a building and accumulate LP . However, Laura-san puts a hold to it .

「I’ve got an idea . Noir-san, can you create【Alchemy】?」

I check it right away .

Alchemy C 800 LP
Alchemy B 2000 LP
Alchemy A 4500 LP
Alchemy S 8000 LP

「I can take up to B . 」

「B you say… Though it gets particularly strong from A . 」

Is that so? I wonder what is different .

【Alchemy B】

＜Creating a new substance by combining multiple suitable materials, expending them in process . ＞

【Alchemy A】

＜Creating a new substance by combining multiple suitable materials, expending them in process . Also, allows to sense whether transmutation will succeed or not . ＞

A has the advantage of not having to fail .

「Alchemy requires trial and error and tends to waste a lot of materials . 」

「Suppose we were able to use alchemy, what you intend to do?」

「There is a record that in the past an item was made using alchemy, that allowed to undo petrification state . Mass production was also possible . But that document didn’t have part listing ingredients . 」

So the idea is to try various combinations to craft item . In fact, there are several thousand stone statues here . With 6000 LP per person, it’s not really feasible .

「Then, accumulate LP to get A or S, oh, right! Maybe…」

I had a bright idea .

The main point is knowledge? If so, then I have the strongest ally on my side .

…Great Sage, using alchemy, I want to create an item to undo effects of permanent petrification . Teach me!

【There are two items that can be made with alchemy . First one is called『Cure-all Panacea』, a medicine capable of curing all abnormal conditions . Another one is called『Petrification Remedy』and capable of reverting petrification state . 】

Thank you, the demon of knowledge, Great sage . I also ask how to make it .

【The following is the Petrification Remedy creating method .
・Holy water x 200ml
・Nourishment pill x 1
・Magic stone (small) x 1
・Either a container, a gourd, or a bottle . 】

「I learned manufacturing method from Great Sage . The materials…」

I tell them everything . According to Perido-san, all of those had a low rarity .

「We might be able to collect those even from this town . Holy water should be in church, magic stones and pills in a curio shop, let’s split into groups . 」

I have【Item Appraisal】 . I can make a distinction between unfamiliar items, so together with Emma, we go for a curio shop .

In case a headache from Great sage hits me, having Emma around is very reassuring . We found a curio shop that appeared to be well-established, so we enter inside .

「Heello, you’d say out of habit . 」

「I get that . 」

Two of us search the interior . Emma immediately found a magic stone .

「There is a lot of them . Lucky!」

Magic stone is a stone that contains magic power and it’s said that they have a lot of various applications . The large size is comparably rare, but smaller one circulate in quite a large numbers and easy to attain .

「The payment, what should we do?」

「We need it to save people… I think we don’t have to pay . We can also pay for them later . 」

「Sorry, I’ll be borrowing it . 」

I inform the shopkeeper at the counter in the back . He was petrified while backing away . My eyes are drawn to the shelf behind him .

Several drawstring bags are placed at the top of the shelf . Maybe it’s a medicine .

「Noir, give me a shoulder ride . I will take them . 」

「Yes, princess . 」

I crouch in front of the shelf . When Emma’s thighs were next to my face, I stand up . As I give her a shoulder ride, a difficult question comes flying .

「Am I-I not heavy?」

「Well, you are totally lighter than I expected . 」

「That’s good… Or maybe not good at all! Just how heavy you imagined me to be?」

「Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean anything bad . More importantly, could you grab the pills?」

Weight wasn’t a good topic to discuss with women . Emma reaches for a drawstring bag . Opening, inside were a lot of pills wrapped in the paper .

A black pill of about two cm in diameter .

After appraising it, I form a fist from happiness . It’s definitely a nutritional pill . And there is a considerable amount .

As I was wondering what was used in making then, Emma reveals me a shocking truth .

「I heard it in the past… There is a monster’s poop blended in . 」

「Hmmm… Perhaps, I didn’t have to know that . 」

「But it seems to be compressed for safety concerns . Sometimes they mix in there stuff from humans as well or something like that . 」

「Emma! You didn’t have to tell me that, because I already touched it!」

「Don’t worry, our bonds won’t disappear from just that . 」

「You say that, but why do you keep distancing yourself from me?」

Emma was a bit cute doing exaggerated fake laugh, but I guess I should try to hold hand with her later .

Anyway, if such a store that wasn’t even big had this much, it gives me hope that we will find large quantities in urban areas .

Next, we have to find a vessel .

I pick a nearby container that looked like it could hold a liquid . We also intrude in the living space at the back of the store and collect cups .

Now, since we collected the needed ingredients, we return to the meeting place .

The other four had already gathered, and each of them had necessary for alchemy ingredients in their hands .

Luna-san had two buckets filled with water to the brim .

「There was that much holy water?」

「There was even more . In a sense, we are lucky, since we can replenish it if this won’t be enough . 」

「Indeed . We have all the ingredients, we only have to craft it . I will now learn the skill . 」

Alchemy B should be enough .

Combined with the outstanding Great sage, it can exert power much exceeding rank A .

Taking LP into perspective, that is the course I should take . I create【Alchemy B】 . I lined up material on the ground beneath my eyes and made intent to create salvation fluid .

For a moment light shines, and then we have a cup with liquid instead of disappeared materials .

It is a transparent liquid that looks like water at first glance . In the appraisal eye, it came out as 【Petrification Remedy】, so alchemy can be regarded as a success .

「You did it, as expected from Noir . 」

「Amazing, you really made it!」

Layla-san and Emma cheer in delight .

Everyone else had broad smiles on their face as well . There still a lot of materials left, so I make multiple .

Now, if we make them drink it and undo petrification, it’s a success . For starters, I would like to undo petrification on only one person and hear what happened here .

「Who would be good . 」

「Noir-dono, how about this person?」

The one who caught eyes of Luna-san was a woman of a blessed complexion . She is much taller than I .

「It looks like among masses that were trying to escape, she tried to fight . She became a stone swinging down the sword . 」

「And she also looks strong . 」

A woman with short hair, who was petrified while holding a claymore, which could be considered a greatsword .

Since she was turned into stone while holding the sword, it means that she saw the enemy and had enough courage not to run from it .

「I will ask about the situation from this person, any objections?」

Since there are none, I get into action . I pour down【Petrification Remedy】into her .
