Chapter 9

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

It’s been three days since I came to this place. Shortly before the sun rises, I woke up and started the day.

“Well, what should I do today…”

I thought about what I should do today. It’s no exaggeration to say that all the plans I had in mind went off-track because I encountered things like smartphone upgrades, magic, and alchemy.

No, in reality, creating a foundation for living in various ways remains the same, but the major premise of creating that foundation has gone astray.

Because of the job selection, there may be a battle with an unknown creature.

As evidence, I encountered a fish I have never seen in Japan yesterday. …… It was disappointing fish that half of the body couldn’t be eaten, but it was still delicious.

I have never seen a rabbit with a horn. He was also more cheeky and frustrating than the rabbits I knew.

“And the skill actually activated.”

So far, I used Appraisal and took out the “simple alchemy set” that was in the important things category of my smartphone… No, did I summon it?

However, the fact that both of them can be used also confirms that those abilities certainly exist.

That means …I can use attack magic and I can create things with Alchemy too.

This makes my work convenient!!! But my happiness didn’t last long.

If can use magic. Then that means, other people can use it too, and there is the possibility that other animals could use it too.

What I had in mind before, were battles with ordinary animals.

“Until now, I thought that I would meet an ordinary bear or a relative of a cat… Something like a leopard.”

I didn’t want to think too much about it, but it’s not surprising that a bear that would use magic or a sabre-toothed tiger that uses magic would come out.

With that in mind, this place is by no means safe!

“I really need to build a safe house soon.”

But what should I do? The magic, contrary to my expectations, the form of it is restricted.

The atmosphere of it feels like an old-fashioned game. It seems that the freedom is limited, unlike the light novels out there.

By the way, it’s just one sentence, but it says “The shape of the magic is fixed! It cannot be modified!” … I felt like it was reading my mind.

If magic can be used, the first thing that I would do is to improve and modify it.

But that doesn’t seem to be permitted…

“Well, aside from magic let’s try, alchemy first.”

A pot and a mortar are on the alchemy stand. The pot is a common piece of hardware, with a wooden lid and scale-like textures on the side, the one where you would cook hot pot with….. Is it possible to do alchemy with this? Isn’t it supposed to be a kettle?

Anyways, it must be the simple version of a kettle. I forcibly convinced myself with that reason and thought about what to do with the pot.

There is no explanation of what to do. Even if I try to appraise it, the characters that appear are only “simple alchemy pot”, and there is no sign of any recipes.

I lifted the pot to further observe it.

Underneath the pot was something like a wood trivet pad, and some magic circles were drawn on it. When I appraised the trivet pad, it just said “Please use the pot by putting it on here, ok♪?”.

For the time being, teach me how to use it! Where is the instruction manual!?

Since I have a pot why don’t I make a lot of salt and drinkable water! After pouring seawater into the pot, I put it on the trivet pad.

“What? Where is the fire…”

Nothing happened once I put the pot on the trivet pad. There is no way I’m supposed to burn the trivet pad for fire right? So I operated and checked the smartphone to see if it had anything

Alchemy, alchemy, alchemy items … I stared at my smartphone while scrolling from the top to the bottom, finally I found something under the “simple alchemy set” part…

“Let’s see …”Charge the magic circle with magical power “”

FumuFumu I see? The magic circle is rechargeable?

By the way, how much magic power do I need … Maybe my magic power isn’t enough? With that in mind, I touch the magic circle drawn on the pot and tried to use magical power.

Using magic power should be the same as using “appraisal”. Well, in the case of “appraisal”, I just say “appraisal” while staring at what I wanted to appraise and it activates.

“In that case, while touching the pot, how about saying “charge”?”

Whether it was touching or charging, or both, the trivet pad reacted to the action I made, and I felt something slipping out of my body. Along with that, the magic circle drawn on the heater shone.

The light wasn’t particularly bright, but it felt strangely powerful, I guess it is fully charged now. I then proceeded to put the pot full of seawater on it.

“… But nothing is happening?”

Whether if the magic power was insufficient or I did something incorrectly the seawater in the pot isn’t making any sounds.

However, there is nothing more written on the smartphone, and there are no more hints.

Hmm … Speaking of using a kettle in alchemy, do they stir it? With that in mind, I reviewed the tools of the Alchemy set again.

Then, I found a place to store things and opened it…

“… Cane?”

It was a long stick with the tip being slightly thicker.

Put this in the pot and stir it! I felt that its appearance was screaming that. So I picked it up and stirred the seawater.

Around, and around … However, there is still no reaction in the pot.

This is weird, what’s wrong? No, maybe it’s the seawater? When I thought about it, an image popped into my brain.

And, thanks to that image, I realized that I had forgotten one important thing.

“The distillation of seawater into salt and water that I was thinking of doing, but there is no place to secure water …”

Even if it is separated into water and salt, the product would still be combined back into seawater.

Even though the alchemy was successful, it was because there was only one container, the pot. Therefore, I need a container for water and a container for salt, or else the alchemy would store them in one place together.

It was a really simple mistake … I wonder what I’m doing.

That’s why I cut the bamboo into a size that would fit in the pot and put it in.

Now, the bamboo is floating in the seawater. Then, I began mercilessly stir the contents of the pot.

“Oh! Oh! Somehow, the magic circle is reacting!”

As I stirred around, the magic circle’s light turned red and flashed, showing a reaction as if saying “I’m doing something!”.

It looked interesting so I held the cane harder and started stirring faster. I think that during the time I was holding the can harder I was also putting magic power into it, probably?

A glowing magic circle. A glowing cane. The glowing contents overlap together as if saying “this is the end!” The surrounding was filled with a bright light.

“Guoooooooo! My eyes !?”

I was hit by the bright light in front of me, and my eyes were probably seriously damaged.

While holding my eyes with one hand, I thought that I should bring sunglasses next time…Why is it that I keep thinking about weird things today? Back on the topic let’s see what happened inside the pot.

After a while, the damage slowly healed and my vision began to recover.

I moved my eyelids up and down several times. As a result of my eyes being damaged, tears were rolling down my cheeks.

By no means was it because of the success before me.

“Water and salt are really separated and put in the bamboo tubes.”

There were six bamboo tubes in the pot with five being water bottles and one containing salt. Was it really successful?

For the time being, I got a bamboo water bottle and drank it to check.

I realized after I finished the bottle. I should have appraised it first. Well, since the contents were just water, there should be no problem, but I should really get into a habit of appraising ever
