I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless

(306) Can I touch?

“By the way, Carol . Do you know about gallnut?”


“Yes . It is the raw ingredient for the ink used by Magic Journalist . Did Ririana-san bid you to buy some?”


“Yeah, Rurina told me that she would be able to manage the party system if she had a Magic Journalist note created and when I requested Ririana to make that note —”


At this point, I was no longer surprised at how Carol knew that Ririana was a Herbalist .


If she had an hour, it wouldn’t be surprising if she knew all their names, jobs, interest and favorite food .


… Perhaps if Carol traveled with me, I might have found information on Miri a long time ago?


That’s a shame .


” … Haru, what’s wrong?”


Haru, who was walking beside me, stopped and was staring at the side alley .


I looked to see if there was anybody but there was n.o.body there .


“No, I just smelled something nostalgic . ”


“A nostalgic scent? Now that I think about it, Haru was born in the Southern Continent, right?”


The Demon Lord castle was in a country further east from here in the Southern Continent . In a place called Kyupilas Hill, where there was now a large Cathedral built in its place .


“You might be smelling a scent that is unique to the Southern Continent . ”


“— Yes … maybe you are right . ”


Haru replied as if to convince herself before she nodded with a smile in the end .


She still looked expressionless from the side but I could tell . The corner of her mouth was angled up by a few millimetres . Well, her tail was not wagging that much so she was probably not happy because she was convinced but she was showing a smile to me instead .


“This way!”


I unconsciously frowned when I saw the shop that Carol led us to .


After all, there was a large net-like object hanging at the storefront .


It was similar to those used to make dried fish in a port town — the objects inside were .


Black, dried, curled up and unmistakably —


” … What are those? Are these by any chance —”


“Haru, don’t say a word more!”


“— Sea cuc.u.mber?”


“Like I said, don’t say … eh? sea cuc.u.mber?”


Sea cuc.u.mber as in those sea cuc.u.mber found in the sea?


Well, it’s true that I have never seen dried sea cuc.u.mbers . In the world of herbal medicine, it is known as a ingredient for nourishing tonics .


I guess she’s right, there’s no way a storefront would —


“These are probably feces from Sugyu that only ate managra.s.s . Since they are used for medicine . ”


“I knew it! Or rather, do people actually drink feces? And aren’t managra.s.s toxic?”


I ate it once when I fought Milemia in the past but it tasted quite bad . (TL: I don’t recall this)


Even if they are Sugyu, I pity them for having to eat something like that .


“Sugyu love managra.s.s . That gra.s.s is toxic to humans but they are not to Sugyu . Not only that, Sugyu are not able to absorb the magical power recovery properties of managra.s.s so that aspect remains in their feces . Because of that, it can recover ten-times greater amount of magical power compared to eating managra.s.s directly and drying the feces kills the toxic ingredients so it becomes non-toxic . ”


” … Even if I’m told it recovers ten-times as much and is non-toxic … ”


I definitely still don’t want to eat feces . If I had to eat feces, I rather eat ten times the amount of managra.s.s and apply detoxification magic on myself .


“It doesn’t smell . ”


“It has been through deodorizing treatment to the point that even Haru-san can’t smell anything . Of course, n.o.body eats it directly like that but they seem to be used as an ingredient for medicinal liquors . ”


“It’s okay . Carol can make mana potions anyway . ”


“Carol still doesn’t have any recipes as a Herbalist though?”


“You’ll learn it soon enough . ”


I replied and entered the store .


The interior was a little dim .


Perhaps because the first thing I saw was p.o.o.p at the front, the ingredients inside looked decent .


If not for that, I probably would feel sick looking at the large quant.i.ty of roasted black newts hanging in the shop .


Managra.s.s were also present in bundles .


“Welcome . Please close the door quickly, there are many ingredients that are vulnerable to sunlight . ”


“Sorry . ”


The old lady behind the counter cautioned us so Haru, who was the last to enter, quickly but politely closed the door .


“You are new customers . Do you have your job certificates?”


“Yes, here . ”


Carol pa.s.sed her job certificate to the old lady .


The old lady looked at the certificate with a glance and pa.s.sed it back to Carol, probably without confirming it .


“So, what do you wish to buy?”


“For now, we would like to choose a complete set of compounding tools at our own discretion . Carol, about the money —”


“Ichino-sama, the money you gave me just now is sufficient . I’ll do the negotiations . ”


Carol said and started talking to the shop owner .


Well, I guess I can leave the purchases to Carol .


Even if I have the Thought Trace skill that is useful for negotiations, my negotiation skills as a whole do not even reach the base of Carol’s feet .


I looked around the shop .


“Oo, they are even selling all kinds of metals . ”


“Mercury … ? These can be used for medicine too?”


“It used to be seen as a medicine for immortality long ago but it is poison so it shouldn’t be consumed . ”


“It’s possible to become immortal?”


“That was the superst.i.tion held in the world I was from . Perhaps Miri would know more about immortality drugs . ”


I wished for an instant that Haru would remain forever young and beautiful but I also would like to see Haru grow up and gain adult charms .


I guess letting nature run its course is the best after all .


“Haru, do you have interest in becoming immortal?”


“No, I don’t . ”


“I see . ”


“Yes . If I become immortal, I will fall into despair when Master dies and will have to spend eternity that way . I won’t be able to endure that . ”


Haru is s-so cute .


Ah, shouldn’t I just propose to her . Or rather, I must marry her .


” … Haru . ”


I resisted myself from hugging Haru .


This won’t do . I must resolve the talk with Carol first .


The issue with Carol …


“Haru, I have a small request, do you mind?”


“Yes, anything for Master . ”


Yeah, I knew Haru would definitely say that .


After all, I was going to request something that I would normally never request for in a place like this .


“Could I touch your breast for just a moment?”


“Yes, I don’t mind . ”


… I didn’t think she would reject me but why was her tail wagging the most now .


“Ah … but my breast has become slightly bigger lately so I don’t know if Master would be fond of them . ”


… Why was she sorry for such important news?
