After watching Jiname-san depart with her lightened cart, I got right to work on creating the magic stoves.

These ones are bigger, but what I need to do is fundamentally the same.

“If anything’s going to be a problem, it’s my stamina...”

When drawing the circuits, I couldn’t move the iron plate while drawing, like I might with a piece of paper. Instead, I had to move around the table that the plate was sitting on, drawing the intricate design.

By the time I was fitting the iron plates together, putting them into a box with clay, and then dropping it all into the alchemic cauldron, it would easily weigh more than I did.

And there were two of them this time.

That’s super-duper heavy. I lifted one with a grunt of exertion, tenderly put it into the mouth of the cauldron, and then leaned them against the side.

“Whew. I feel like putting plates into a cauldron that has a rounded bottom is already a mistake to begin with.”

It’d be easier if my cauldron was like a shallow pot or a frying pan. But that would be inconvenient when brewing potions, so the use of one like that would be limited.

Alchemic cauldrons were expensive, so having different cauldrons to use for different purposes was out of the question.

Once the stuff’s in there, it’s simple to process it. It just kind of takes a lot of magical power, that’s all.

“And getting them back out will be even more trouble... Oh? Now that I think about it, isn’t this...?”

I pulled the alchemic cauldron down off the magic furnace, and then turned it sideways. The magic stove slid out.

“Wow, that was easy... Why have I been making things so difficult for myself?”

Maybe I should’ve handled the processing with the cauldron on its side?

I wasn’t adding any liquids, so it wasn’t like that would present any problem.

“Next time I make artifacts, I’m using it sideways. Definitely.”

Actually, maybe I should even keep it on an angle when I’m brewing potions too? My height makes using a cauldron like this a little tough, you know?

“Wasn’t there a potion that could increase your height...?”

Even if I was an alchemist, it wasn’t as if I knew every single artifact and potion. In fact, it might be fair to say I only knew the ones in the volumes I could read.

Although, I was aware of others that were particularly famous or strange.

Like the balding potion. I hear that one’s in Volume 10.

Yes, Volume 10. The one that was crammed full of useless stuff.

This particularly useless recipe had come to be when someone had failed to create a potion that cured baldness, and... Well, I’d bet that whoever had the dubious honor of creating it had been left in tears. They must have applied it thinking they would grow more hair, only for what hair they did have left to fall out.

And yet, there was surprising demand for this balding potion. It was easy on the skin, and had a dramatic effect, so it was really
