Disciple of Immortal

Act 5: Chapter 15: Merchandise Manufacturing

Two days after the start of the training using 《Zolapiras》.

Originally, I planned to end it in one day alas, due to a problem during training, we only managed to finish the training on the second day.

At first, Mel showed some resistance to elixir doping alas, she seems to have come to a compromise during the training and accepted the elixir doping method.

To begin with, Mel was an ambitious girl.

She even came to said 『Knowing that drinking this raises my skill makes it taste more delicious.』.

… It wasn't addiction alas, maybe I shouldn't give her more elixir after this.

「The training has paid off, I can finally form a beautiful sphere with 《Zolapiras》!」

Mel spoke proudly.

Rosemonde looked at the 《Zolapiras》 sphere made by Mel with an anxious face.

「Woow! such a cool shape!」

Philia praised Mel with an innocent smile on her face.

「Ehehehe… Cool right, Philia-chan? I did my best after all. So praise me~?」

Pomera and Rosemonde looked anxiously at me.

「Oi Kanata. Are you sure that it's enough that her only managed to form an uneven shape?」

Rosemonde whispered in my ear.

「I also didn't take this training seriously at first alas, being able to form that shape with 《Zolapiras》 in a single night means that she's skilled.」

Back then during my training, I also had a hard time returning the 《Zolapiras》back into shape after exploding it.

Manufacturing 《Zolapiras》 seems to require an extremely high degree of skill.

That experience made me realize just how bizarre Lunaire was since she could make statues without breaking a sweat.

「Now we can finally get down to the main business of developing the product of the 《Fairy Wings》! I feel like I can do anything now! We cannot afford to waste more time since we're behind the schedule! Closing down the store for a few days will harm the store! Let's make a flagship product for this store!」

Mel declared brightly as he proposed such a plan.

Mel had gained some alchemy knowledge and become more skillful with her magic craftsmanship thanks to the training.

We already had the candidate for the product of the store.

All that was left was whether the product would be popular in Polorock or not.

The commodity must have some sort of demand.

The problem was it had to leave some impact.

Given enough time, we could win this alas, we need a fast solution at this moment.

Even more so if we assume that Wontz might use an underhanded tactic.

「What's the point of getting anxious…」

「Don't worry! I'm invincible! I'll repay this debt of gratitude and develop the 《Fairy's Wings》 in no time!」

Mel didn't waste time and prepared to manufacture the merchandise.

Since I'm quite confident with my alchemy skills, I might be able to provide some ideas for her.

From Alchemy's approach, we had to create something by minimizing the cost and time of production.

Moreover, I was the only one who knew the complete form of the commodities.

Rosemonde and Pomera had also prepared to open the store, Philia's role was to act as a bolster to be hugged by Mel to recharge her fighting spirit.

One day later, the new commodities had finally lined up upon reopening the store.

Since our first goal was to raise the store's popularity as much as possible, we increased the variety of the commodities.

Thanks to Mel's newfound comprehension of alchemy and her talent as a magic craftsman, she could reproduce something that I thought to be impossible.

I almost moved to tears when Mel made ballpoint from my vague knowledge.

And though she couldn't mass produce the bicycle, she managed to create one for publicity.

Among the things she made was rubix cube or clothes peg.

Mel lined up the product with a huge grin on her face.

「Kanata, is this really enough to defeat the other general store magic tool backed by that Wontz bastard?」

Rosemonde asked worriedly.

「… Maybe but, it might be even more simple than that.」

「Y-Yeah…」

Rosemonde was smiling wryly.

「W-Well, the ship has been sailed. We might be able to get some sort of assistance from Gannet-san if we explain the situation to him.」

「That cunning old man huh… Since he has sharp ears when it comes to profit, he'll jump in immediately to get miscellaneous goods from Polorock. Given a choice, I don't want to rely on him alas, it can't be helped.」

But, the situation might rapidly deteriorate if we involve Gannet.

The reason was because he was the director of the 《Mithril's Cane》.

Once he knew that Greed, the director of the Greed company and also the lord of Polorock, Manarak might be taken over by Polorock.

That would be a huge trouble for Gannet.

「I can use a mirror.」

「What is that? Can we win if you use that?」

The mirror I'm talking about was the 《Distorted World of Cursed Mirror》.

I could raise Mel's level to a scale of hundreds if I use that mirror.

That would expand her expertise in alchemy and magic tool engineering in one go.

Even if she had a problem with Wontz's subordinate in the Dark Ward, she might become the boss of the Dark Ward in three days.

「Well, that just a brute force approach.」

「Something that only people like you can do. Well, the time might come to rely on that.」

Pomera who heard the conversation between Rosemonde and I revealed an awkward yet bitter smile on her face.

「… I hope we don't have to use the mirror.」

「Don't worry! I know that this will work! You've given me more assistance than I wished for! And as a magic tool engineer, I've confidence in my own product… And pride as the owner of this shop, the 《Fairy's Wings》!」

Mel spoke loudly while puffing her chest.

「 These products… Is something that I can be proud of thanks to Kanata-san's idea combined with my ingenuity and design! These items will sell like hotcakes for sure! Kanata-san might be worried about something but, as long as it's a solid product, no need to worry about this! It'll sell like hotcakes for sure! Let's forget about the result for now and focus on marketing! We will succeed! This magic tool maker Mel won't look down on all of your effort! Now get ready, it's time to open the store! Forget about everything else and just focus on marketing!」

Mel's words were filled with power.

Mel herself was quite successful until Wontz sabotaged her business.

Wontz already committed a huge blunder the moment he brought Mel to Polorock.

Even Rosemonde gave her seal of approval about Mel Being a genius.

In these three days, I had been thinking about every single possibility or thinking about the idea for a product from the Earth.

Alas, the general for this battle was Mel.

It was our duty to support her till the end.

「Mel-san, I know you can do this.」

「Leave it to me! I'm a genius after all! I'll beat the crap of that lowly trash called Wontz!」

A few days ago…

The 《Fairy's Wings》 which was really deserted when I came for the first time was strangely visited by guests every now and then.

And in less than three hours, the number of visitors increased by leaps and bounds.

From less-than-perfect items displayed on the shelves to Mel's original product, they were selling like hotcakes.

The store had to be closed earlier since we ran out of items.

「I never knew that this would sell really well… To be honest, I thought that only the product made based on my idea would get attention alas,」

I was really surprised by the reception.

There was something that became my concern though.

「Fufufu, I told you it's not a problem right? This city is the city of merchants, that's why the citizens is really fashionable or always up with the latest fashion. When a fresh new idea is coming out, it'll be a race to get the first one.」

「I see…」

「Still, even I have never expected things going to be this well, hehe.」

Mel smiled shyly.

At that moment, Rosmonde came toward us, holding a signboard with a smug look on her face.

「Oi Me, care to explain about this? Something seems to be covering the name board of the store.」

Written on the signboard in Rosemonde's hands was 《Magical Goods of Otherworlder》.

Mel puffed her chest proudly.

「I just think that it's the best and fastest advertisement for the people living in Polorock! That's what I read!」

「I thought you were proud of the name of your store! The most important thing is the inside of the store! And here you are, using this to cover the name signboard of your store!」

「W-Well, that's less impactful I guess. T-There's no need to get angry though.」

「I'm not angry! I just vexed!」

「Uhm… That's the same as being angry though?」

I felt relieved upon hearing the two's conversation.

And heaved a sigh of relief.

「Firstly, why doing this without telling anyone, Mel!?」

「… I mean, it feels embarrassed after going out of my way boasting myself.」

「To begin with, it's not like Kanata declared himself as otherworlder, and yet, doing this is just…!」

「D-Don't worry Rosemonde-san, I've no problem with this.」

… I mean, I had to admit that this was the biggest chip in Mel's hand that could overturn this desperate situation in one fell swoop.

In this way, the 《Fairy's Wings》 could make a fresh start in perfect condition.
