Chapter 73

Thanks to Reo, I was able to change my job to a Healer, and I let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the quest's difficulty level isn't that high.

...Actually, this person from the "Ranch Village"...

It seemed that Kent noticed I was looking at the quest window and called out, "Sharon? Do you see something?"

"Yeah, sorry. I'm just looking at the information about my Healer job change quest."

"Is that so? I remember, it's about supporting people in this country who need healing, right?"

"Exactly."

I nodded and stared at Kent. This Mollie from the "Ranch Village" was supposed to be Kent's mother. I remembered this from when we visited before and Kent talked about her.

The people targeted by this quest usually have minor injuries and nothing life-threatening. Still, if I were told that the quest target was my own mother, I'd be worried too. Should I tell him? As I was thinking, Kent called out, "Sharon?"

"Is it such a difficult quest?"

"Ah, no, it's fine. It's just... Mollie's name was on the list."

After some thought, I decided to tell him. Kent might hear it from Mollie later, so it would be better to tell him now.

At that, Kent and Cocoa exclaimed, "Ah!"

"I remember, Mom said she twisted her ankle at work."

"It doesn't seem to be bad enough to stop her from walking, but..."

"In that case, I can heal her injury."

It's probably just a sprain. I'm glad it's not too serious.

We finished talking about the job change, and I signaled to Tarte. I had actually asked for something.

"Sure thing, nya."

Tarte placed a number of "Skill Reset Potions" on the table.

"What is this...?"

Everyone, starting with Reo, looked at the unfamiliar bottles. Tarte distributed them to everyone. Tarte and I had already adjusted our skills, so we didn't need to suffer through the process again.

"These are 'Skill Reset Potions,' nya. When you drink them, all the skills you've acquired so far will be reset, nya."

"---!"

Everyone's eyes widened in shock. Being able to redistribute skills that were automatically assigned is no small feat.

"Think carefully about what skills you want to take and re-acquire them. Since we don't know much about Tee's skills... it might be a bit difficult, but you can try a few times if you need to."

I added that I couldn't prepare too many potions because the ingredients are hard to come by. Of course, if they can get the ingredients, Tarte would be happy to make more "Pharmaceuticals."

Everyone held the "Skill Reset Potions" with serious expressions.

"Can I go first?"

"Of course."

Blitz was the first to volunteer. He opened the "Skill Reset Potion," sniffed it, and then drank it in one go—only to choke dramatically.

"Ugh, phew...!"

"Ah, please try to drink it all!!"

It would be a waste to spit it out! I crouched next to the hunched-over Blitz and cheered him on, "Drink it all in one go!!"

"...Huff, huff, huff... I've never tasted anything so powerful..."

Blitz, with a distant look in his eyes, was watched by Reo, who was covering his mouth in shock. Unfortunately, you have to drink it too, Reo. Mimosa was preparing water for Blitz, and Ticia, Kent, and Cocoa were turning pale, imagining themselves drinking it.

After drinking the water, Blitz thanked Mimosa and used the "Adventurer's Bracelet."

"The skills are really reset!!"

"Wow...!"

Blitz's voice made Kent's eyes sparkle. Kent, who often listens to stories from senior adventurers, probably already has a good idea of the skills he wants to take.

"I want to go next!"

Kent raised his hand enthusiastically, but it's not necessary for everyone to drink at the same time. I nodded with a wry smile.

Kent also drank it in one go and was knocked out.

Seeing such a good reaction, I started to get a bit excited. I grinned and spoke to Reo.

"Next, it's Reo's turn, right?"

Since I call Ticia "Tee," I decided to call Reo by his first name too. Reo didn't seem to mind and said, "Can't be helped," before drinking the "Skill Reset Potion" in one go.

He immediately checked his skill screen with the "Adventurer's Bracelet."

"Without a doubt, all the skills are reset."

"...That's good."

Reo, who drank it in one go with a serious face, might have a strange sense of taste. I'm not thinking that his reaction was boring.

After that, the women drank the potions while groaning and it was time to re-acquire skills. Since I know all the skills except for the unique job of "Pope," I gave advice considering the awakening jobs.

Kent, assuming he would fight in a party, chose skills for a front-line tank. Cocoa, considering she would party with Kent, chose attack skills and some support skills after the job change. I think it's a good balance.

Blitz focused on defense while also taking a powerful one-hit kill attack skill. Mimosa, on the other hand, took multiple attack skills.

Reo, considering his role as Ticia's protector, chose both support and some attack skills. I can see his determination to protect Ticia at all costs.

I think it turned out pretty well.

"Only Tee's skills are left... I can't really advise you on which skills to take, as I don't know them well."

"Understood."

Ticia nodded seriously at my words.

"I'll think about it some more. ...I also got some extra 'Skill Reset Potions' from Tarte, so I want to try out different skills."

Ticia seemed to recall the unpleasant taste and made a bitter face, but I fully agreed, "I think that's a good idea."

I apologize for the posting mistake the other day! Thank you to those who informed me.

I also included everyone's re-acquired skills.
