Anna Holland: The Oliheim Witch
Chapter 42: A Potion

There was silence between the two of us but I immediately switched the conversation with a little hiding the facts.

"Where did I get it is a secret, but it's completely original."

"So what kind of deal do you want?"

Miss Helena is really very perceptive about me, I am indeed not the type to just let go of the golden opportunity to make someone indebted.

As a human being, it is not natural.

"I haven't thought about it, later after I have it I'd like to ask you something, Miss Helena."

"Truly cunning, for example if I snatch the book it will be much more profitable is not it."

"It's a shame that anyone other than me who touches it will die."

Miss Helena looks paled, of course all I just said was a lie, because this book does not have such power.

"I understand."

I was relieved that my bluff could work.

"The material we use is quite hard to obtain so I also need your help."

Miss Helena just sighed softly with a sour look on her face, one problem I have solved easily.

One day after that, Miss Helena and I went to the river, we did not come for a vacation but to find a frog.

Sarah and Marick, who had listened to the details of Miss Helena's wishes, joined in despite Sarah's disgust as the frog was in her hands.

"Make a concoction with this ingredient in other words later you will drink it professor Helena."

"Origin can increase my magic power even if for a moment I don't mind."

Marick took time alone to vomit. For Miss Helena to be able to regain her hometown more than enough of anything even if she had to eat frogs.

At first he also wanted to eat dragon eggs even though the consequences were obvious.

He's a brave man or maybe he doesn't care about anything.

After collecting the frogs we went to look for the next material, from here you have to get a swallow nest that is inside a steep cliff.

"It's scary."

"I'm going to die."

Marick was always hysterical with anything so we were used to ignoring him, now getting the material from a flamethrower monster.

Because there's Miss Helena it's been an easy job.

"We just need his heart, the rest let's eat."

"I don't know but their shape looks strange, the mixing of fish and the legs of land animals."

"In other words they have twice the delicacy."

I was the first one to try them and like what I said it was really good.

Sarah and Marick are tempted to eat, only Miss Helena does not come and stands staring at the lake in front of her.

"Miss Helena should you also fill your stomach?""

"Later on, I'd rather get this over with sooner."

I think he took this search of materials too seriously, it was only natural that almost everyone would most likely put their hopes on him.

After resting we gathered the other materials before processing them into one, I alone did so with a cauldron hung over the bonfire.

"You sure you can do it?"

"Don't worry, I'm used to making potions while I'm at Miss Cilia's place, it's easier than I often do."

"Looks like Cilia likes you."

I can't answer anything about that, which is obvious I sometimes feel Miss Cilia is just asking me because she just wants to laze around all day.
