When they saw the young visitor, Falfa and Shalsha commented:

“It’s an elf!”

“Her ears are indeed long. By the way, if her earwax is dry, she’s a southern elf, while the earwax of northern elves is wet.”

The two of them entered the room together.

Shalsha seemed to know a lot about elves and geography, so I thought it best to let them stay for this.

“All right, let’s start by introducing ourselves. You already know people call me the Witch of the Highlands, so I’ll just tell you my name. I’m the witch Azusa Aizawa.”

“I’m Halkara. I’m from a small elf country in the province of Hrant.”

That region had just come up in the history book Shalsha was reading.

“There are all sorts of medicinal herbs in the area, and I’ve taken advantage of that to become an apothecary… In short, my job is very much like yours, Madam Witch.”

We’re both long-lived, we both make medicines out of plants… We really are similar.

In this case, there’s no real difference between the “witch” and “apothecary” classes.

Truth be told, it wouldn’t be fair to call myself an apothecary.

If I had to differentiate us, witches sometimes use materials from animals, such as dried organs and blood. An elf apothecary probably stuck exclusively to plants and didn’t even include special ores or other minerals.

I didn’t use many animal materials, though, so I was pretty close to being an apothecary anyway.

Just then, Laika brought in enough herbal tea for all of us. Tea for four, including portions for my two daughters. This when she’d been busy cooking. Thank you for the trouble.

“I understand about your profession, but why is Beelzebub hunting an apothecary?”

I couldn’t think of any reason they’d even have met each other.

“Well, I feel a little awkward saying this myself, but for an apothecary, I made a very good living. I combined nutrient-rich mushrooms and botanicals and turned them into a liquor known as Nutri-Spirits.”

So alcohol with herbal medicine mixed in?

“If you drink it when you’re tired, you can endure the rest of your work. It took the whole region by storm and became a huge hit. All the elves in my village worked together to mass-produce bottles that sold for five thousand gold each, and even then, production couldn’t keep up. I actually built a Nutri-Spirits palace in my village.”

All right, enough bragging. Get on with the story.

“Oh, and this is it.”

Halkara produced a small bottle.

“I brought a lot with me, so you can drink it if you’d like. It was hard to carry so much while I was running away, but when I drank it, it got me through the day.”

By all accounts (and appearances), this was an energy drink, wasn’t it?

I used to drink these things regularly, once upon a time. Her tale hit painfully close to home.

When my overtime dragged on, I’d down a bottle…

“Its reputation generated more popularity, and Nutri-Spirits came to be sold far away. And so, you see, it ended up with some unexpected customers…”

Halkara held her head in her hands.
