***

Elaine’s butler, Rayne, dropped in with his young mistress. “About the retail version of your fragrance cleanser, Sir Pharmacist…” he whispered.

“It’s done,” I replied quietly.

“My word!”

I sneakily slid a black potion bottle from under the counter.

“M-my word, indeed!” the butler repeated. “Don’t tell me…this is drinkable?”

“You got it, boss.”

The old man grabbed my hand with both of his. “I’m willing to pay you anything you ask!”

“That won’t be necessary. This is still a prototype. I’d love to hear your thoughts on its flavor when you finish it.”

“You’re truly a saint, Sir Pharmacist!”

Elaine, Noela, and Vivi (who was working) overheard Rayne and I chatting. They chimed in.

“What are you two talking about?” Elaine demanded.

“Sir Pharmacist’s new product. I imagine you may be a wee bit young to drink it, milady,” Rayne replied.

I nodded fiercely. “Too early for Vivi and Elaine.”

“Noela understand. Tasty,” Noela added immediately. “Elaine, Vivi no understand.” The werewolf girl giggled, clearly happy to get on her very own high horse.

Although she’s just pretending.

“When I told my master about your fragrance cleanser, he seemed quite interested,” Rayne informed me.

“Lord Valgas, right? Heh. I suppose I’ll make another bottle, then.”

“Thank you, Sir Pharmacist!”

“If Lord Valgas finds himself exhausted, tell him to drink some of this black potion when no one else is around,” I instructed. “I guarantee he’ll get hooked.”

“You’re quite the rascal.”

I lowered my voice even more, as if I were doing some kind of black market transaction. “I’m just talking to myself here, but…”

Rayne didn’t say anything.

“Kelembia nuts are one of the black potion’s main ingredients,” I continued. “If I had a kilogram of those, I’m sure I could bottle tons of potions.”

“A kilogram, you say…?” The butler immediately took a note. “I’ll make sure to get what you need.”

“I’ll be waiting.”

We exchanged manly smiles before Elaine butted in. “What’re you two talking about?! Tell me at once!”

“You’re not old enough.” That phrase was becoming something of a secret password.

Even on Earth, there were folks who drank coffee and liked its flavor and folks who didn’t. So, there was no guarantee that Lord Valgas would enjoy the stuff. However, that concern ended up being pointless. A while later, Lord Valgas himself visited the drugstore with his butler and a kilogram of kelembia nuts.

“You’re a madman, Sir Reiji!” he exclaimed. “Without your black potions, I can’t work anymore!”

“That sure didn’t take long.” I smirked and shook my head, exasperated, as I handed him the ten bottles I’d made.

Lord Valgas reappeared a few days later, informing me that he recommended the black potions to other aristocrats. Apparently, however, people had mixed opinions on the brew. Of course they did. Normally, things would’ve ended there, but nobles had to act like nobles.

“How could they not understand the black potion’s appeal?!” Lord Valgas and the other coffee-drinking nobles demanded, getting on their high horses. Consequently, the aristocrats who hadn’t enjoyed the new potion began pretending that they did.

“Appreciating your black potion’s flavor is a status symbol in and of itself,” Lord Valgas explained.
