"No. ......," said the voice of a female priest knight. With a start, she straightens herself up and puts her hand on her sword, which is still in her belt.

"Is the enemy ......?"

"If it's the sorcerer's messenger, he's there," I say, pointing to a black stain crushed by a hippopotamus.

She turns her head to me in a flash at the sound of my voice. She glances at where I am pointing, then slowly stands up and calls out to me. She stands up slowly and calls out to me, ready to draw her sword at any moment.

"Who are you?"

"Cooperative ......, no. I'm just a traveling alchemist," I said. I almost say the association's.

Habit is a terrible thing. I'm retired. Or rather, now I'm unemployed. That's new.

Alchemist? She mutters, "Ugh," and then falls to her knees.

"I'm sorry, but I took the liberty of healing your wounds. I'm sorry, but I've taken the liberty of healing the external injuries, but I still need to purify the poison in my body. Here," I explain, showing her the rest of the potion.

"...... you helped me. I thank you. So how much do you want for the potion? She said with a pained expression on her face.

Uh... I'm afraid you've misunderstood me. She might think that I've already healed her halfway, if she wants to be completely healed, she can go to ....... It's not a big deal, so I'd be happy to give it to you for free.

"This is the kind of thing that would make me wary if I said it was free of charge. Well, I didn't mean it any other way. I just thought it would be easier if you were conscious since you could drink the potion by yourself.

For some reason, she starts giggling. Combined with her stern expression, it's quite a destructive smile.

"No, I'm sorry for alarming you. It seems you really mean well. But from the looks of it, the portions are quite substantial. I guess I can't give it to you for free," she says stubbornly.

"Well, I'll tell you what I'll do. I am Rust, a traveling alchemist. I will serve Kalin, lord of the northern frontier. This is our agreement. I ask you to lend me the power of your sword should evil befall me in the future. What is your name, knight?

I straighten my posture, and then I put my right hand in a fist on my chest and say my name. I bow and say, in an old-fashioned way, "You owe me.

I smile to let them know I am only half joking.

"...... Alaisra, goddess of vengeance, is the knight Taura, the third of the three swords. I will certainly accept this loan. Let it be the one sword that cuts through evil. I swear by my sword," Taura replies, her expression tightening.

I have a feeling that he took me more seriously than I intended. I decide to pass the potion to Taura's outstretched hand.

Taura gulps it down in a gulp. Her body is filled with an incomparable light.

Taura puts her hand on her face and says "warm ......".

When the light subsided, she was standing there with all her ailments gone.

Taura looks relieved, draws the sword at her waist, and holds it up in front of her face.

Naturally, the tattoo-like curse on her face is gone.

"The curse! It's gone: ....... The curse that no amount of holy water could lift. Aah!" Taura's eyes blinked. Tears welled up in her eyes, wetting her joyful face.

I see this and feel somewhat awkward.

I have lifted the curse, because of the extra effect of the potion.

The material, perfectly pure water, is water itself, as a concept. In other words, it is one and the same as the primordial water created by God.

Therefore, it is more effective for curses than bad holy water, because it is imbued with divine energy.

I am sure they will ask a lot of questions at this point. If I told them that I was so moved to tears, but unfortunately it was just a bonus effect, the atmosphere afterwards would be very uncomfortable. So, I'm going to leave quickly.

I have to go to Karin's quickly. Especially since I have no business there.

I put aside the fact that I had made the detour on my own, and with that excuse in my mind, I climbed onto Hippopo's back and we set off.

He lightly pats Hippopo's skin and asks for full speed, then shouts to Taura.

"Well, excuse me. I have something to do!

"Oh, wait..." Taura shouts, extending her hand to me as she walks away.

"...... gone. A golden potion, could this be the legendary elixir? I owe this to a terrible person. Hmm. Interesting. I wonder what kind of disaster a man of your stature can face," said Taura, holding up the half-empty potion in his hand.

"You said the northern frontier. Let's get our revenge and head north.

Taura's murmurings, which were left behind, did not reach me as I moved away.
