Chapter 32

Thank you for the bookmark rating.

After leaving the grocery store, we continued our shopping.

"Next, let's go to the 'Item' shop, right?"

"Yeah, what are we going to buy at the item shop?"

I've been to shops that sell items before, but I've never really bought anything there.

"It's healing potions, of course. We'd be in trouble without them if we get injured."

"Yeah, I was thinking of buying a few myself."

...Wait, come to think of it, do they know I can use healing magic?

"...Um, I can use healing magic, so I don't think we need to buy them."

"!!!"

"Because I often heal people at the guild, and the shopkeeper at the last place we went to gave us a discount for that reason."

"O-Oh, I see. Still, it's impressive that an adventurer can use healing magic."

"I don't think it's that impressive... But I guess we don't need healing potions because of that..."

If anyone gets injured, I can heal them right away.

"But, we should still go and buy them."

However, according to Gail, we should still buy the items.

"Considering the possibility that you might not be able to use your healing magic in an emergency, or if we get separated, I think each of us should carry a few."

I guess I hadn't thought that far because I've been going on solo missions to take down goblins and such.

Indeed, it makes sense to buy them for emergencies...

Jade's suggestion led us to decide to buy the healing potions.

But there's one thing I want to say... Healing potions are way too expensive!!

"Are healing potions really this expensive?"

Because, you know, one costs ten thousand en, which is about ten times what I charge for healing!?

"Uh, actually, I was surprised by how cheap they were compared to what's sold in the city... Brother?"

"Yeah, they were pretty cheap."

"I was surprised by how cheap they were too!"

Ten thousand en for a cheap potion? How expensive are they in the city!?

The reward for the Goblin King mission is one million. Normally, this would be a quest for more experienced adventurers, but we're covering it with our numbers.

So, if we do the math, each of us gets 250,000. Buying five healing potions each at 50,000, we'd have 200,000 in profit.

"Maybe healing potions have some amazing effects?"

That would make sense. I've heard that a regular heal just closes wounds, so maybe these are more effective.

"Well, I haven't seen it directly, but I've heard that they're comparable to a healing spell."

"R-Really? How much does it cost to get healed by a healing spell?"

For reference, my heal costs about a thousand en each time.

"From what I saw when I got healed in the city, a 'Heal' costs ten thousand."

"Heal costs ten thousand!!??"

Wait, that's ten times what I charge!?

"A 'Poison Heal' costs fifty thousand, a 'Refresh' costs ten thousand, and a 'High Heal' costs around a hundred thousand."

"...What are 'Poison Heal' and 'Refresh'?"

Unfortunately, I only know 'Heal' and 'High Heal'.

"Didn't you learn about them when you studied healing magic at the guild...?"

"N-No, I taught myself, hehe..."

"Is that so... It might be that you have a natural talent for healing magic, Nest."

If I really do have talent, I guess I was lucky. I can use the healing magic I fell in love with.

"So, about 'Poison Heal' and 'Refresh'—"

...

What a misunderstanding I've had all this time. I thought 'Heal' could cure all injuries and illnesses.

But it turns out that while healing magic is healing magic, 'Heal' and 'High Heal' only work on injuries, 'Poison Heal' only works on diseases and poisons, and 'Refresh' only works on fatigue.

However, my 'Heal' was able to cure the servant's illness at the castle, and it seemed to alleviate fatigue as well.

...So, I used 'Heal' in situations where I should have used 'Poison Heal' or 'Refresh'.

And it worked effectively, to boot.

It might have been okay since I was hiding my face at the time, but from now on, I need to use the right spell for the right situation.

It's a good thing I found out about this now.

I need to be more careful with my actions...

"Can you tell me about other types of healing magic if there are any...?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm not a professional, so I only know about those. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful."

"No, no!! You've been a great help."

But it's bad that there might be other types of healing magic. I don't know where I might slip up.

Well, I can ask Tore about it when I get back...

Still...

The old man I healed first...

Because of him, I've been healing people at a really low price...

Yeah, sure, it did bring in a lot of customers because of that!!

When we were buying items, I noticed that there were a lot of leftover healing potions...

It's definitely because of me...

...I'm really sorry.
