Posher's Intimacy story

Any ingenious ideas for an elixir? I'm not sure what to make these days.

That's too common. Those don't really even sell anymore.

You don't need a potion for that. You can find it at any mineral spring.

That's interesting. I can just use some plain water and sell it as a potion.

You don't look well, are you sick? Would you like some cold medicine or something?

Oh, here you go... Why am I staring at you, you ask? Well... I'm just observing to see if there are any side effects.

Fine, your loss. Tch, failed this time, huh?

Oh? Huh... I didn't expect this to happen, but I suppose it's all the same. The Sprite Queen has suddenly fainted!

Did you know that there is actually no need for medicine in Elias? The herbs here are so potent, you see.

I mean, you can just grab and eat any herb you see around you to treat your pain or sickness. Just keep shoving the herbs into your mouth and at least one of them would get the job done.

It's all marketing. To make a profit. "Medicine far superior to herbs"!

Something like that... but using too many additives weakens the effect.

There's another civil war among witches. So pathetic.

Me? I don't care about power. It's more fun to make and experiment with drugs.

If it's too quiet, there won't be much business... so I just want them to fight in moderation.

The Queen? She's okay, I suppose? They say that the best leaders are the ones that give you nothing to worry about. In that respect, she's the best.

No matter what happens, don't come into my garden, okay?

Good, good. It's always wise to follow a witch's advice.

Curiosity can be poison. Literally.

Oh? Really? That's weird... did someone trick me again? Pretend you never heard what I said.

Ugh, I'm tired. This dang chronic fatigue just won't go away.

I got this chronic fatigue from taking drugs in the first place. The more drugs I take, the worse it gets...

But sleeping feels like such a waste of time to me! I could be using that time to research or sell more drugs...

Wait, what? I can sleep during service? Great, I only stayed awake because I thought it'd look bad.

I've been toying with the idea of starting a school for pharmacists... Do you think it would be worth the trouble?

Who do you think I am? I'm already selling medicine. I have plenty of money, and I make enough money, too.

I'll leave out the essentials when I teach, of course. It's only to make money off of tuition fees.

Uh... you don't have to make it sound so dramatic... but yeah... that's a nice way to put it.

I had a lamp with an elemental in it that grants wishes... but I don't remember where I put it.

To find it first and make a wish? I'm sorry, but I've used up the wish a long time ago. It's just a "lamp elemental" now.

Elementals, phantoms, same thing. I can't tell the difference...

Oh, you're getting your underlings to do it? Nice. I also pass off things to mine when I have bothersome things to take care of.

Is the food provided here really different from the food I make? I can't tell.

Hmph, The ingredients are the same, we just cook them differently. There can't be much difference...

I recognize that there's a concept called "taste." But is that more important than nutrition?

Sure, that sounds fun. Ah, while I'm at it, can I add a few things to the dishes? Nothing much, just a little of this and a little of that. Ehehe.

It's nice to see Levi getting healthier since she started working at my shop.

I've never done that. Though I do occasionally give her stuff that's good for her.

I'm happy as long as my employees do what they're told and do a good job of it. Levi is a good intern.

That would be interesting. There are some drugs that have similar effects. Maybe I should combine them and give them to her?

If you could have any superpower, which one would you want?

Hmm. That would be popular with a sprite who's fanatically obsessed with the Master, wouldn't it? High profitability secured.

If the clones break down every now and then, I could sell twice as many potions, right? Good thinking.

So, the Master sometimes acts like a child, too... If you can fly, you probably won't go underground much, so that won't work.

I'm thinking of making an innovative new medicine. When you have time, could you come by the shop?

Test subject? A fellow witch should know better. It's all for the Master and the Denizens of Elias, you know?

Of course... Just come by first. I'll explain the details later.

Levi's coming anyway because of her part-time job. It'll be more fun if the three of us discuss the new medicine together.

Business has been so good lately. Should I open a second potion shop?

Hmm... The Sprite Kingdom or Monatium are both good options, I think. Lots of loyal customers live there.

What?! Can't I build it anywhere I want, as long as I have the money? You don't want me nearby?

Hmm... There'd be a lot of annoying things to manage and deal with. I should probably put the second store plan on hold.

Which flavor do you prefer sour, bitter, or salty?

Oh! Master, that's a great idea? Having just one flavor is boring.

I think you've been living with the sprites too long. Maybe I should slip you a potion that changes your palate...

Bitter and sour things are good for your body. How come you know one thing but not the other?

Since you enjoyed it so much, I'll make dessert for you as a thank you.

You mean you feel full just watching me eat? You don't have to turn me down.

It's good for your body, so open wide. I put a lot effort into the taste, you know?

To reject it so bluntly like that. I hope you won't regret it later, Master.

It seems like the underling witches are slacking off. It would be nice if everyone worked as hard as Levi.

Is it time to show the skills I've been hiding all along? Hehe.

Phew... Master, back in my day... Huh? Why are you covering your ears?

Master, did we have the same idea? I was trying to develop something like that, but I can't get that effect.

Master, do you work out regularly?

I figured as much, so I prepared a drug for that. It makes you feel like you've been running. What do you think?

Thanks for asking, but I'd rather spend time making potions. A good potion can solve everything.

Oh really? I have potions that enhance the effects of working out, so let me know if you're interested.

The Witch Kingdom's hierarchy is too strict. I'm tired of only experimenting on lower-ranking witches.

That society seems pretty tough, too. But I'm not a dragon, so it's not my problem.

That's right. Unless they volunteer to help.

That's true, but it's best to experiment on creatures with a wide range of powers.

Want to collaborate with me? We could sell medicine at the Banquet Hall.

Wouldn't getting permission from the Sprite Queen solve that problem? That seems doable, right?

We could have the Master's Apostles promote them for us. Give it a chance.

No way! As I always say, medicine should be consumed for its nutritional value, not for taste.

I'm feeling particularly bored today. Isn't there anything fun to do?

Not bad. Observation is the first step of customer sales.

That's something I'm always thinking about, whether I'm resting or working.

I need to have days off, too. You don't want me to collapse from exhaustion, do you?
