Going south from the Royal Magic Academy, located east of the Royal Castle. After going past the shopping district, you will find a residential area called Middletown.
In a room of one of the most luxurious housing complexes in the area, Explosive onee-sama was greeting the morning.
She got out of bed and went to the window. She pulled open the curtains and let the sunlight enter the room.
(Today’s finally the day)
Jayanne, the place she works at. She will be having an appointment with Dr.Slime right after the store opens.
However, she is not as upset as she was when she found out about the appointment. She has already accepted it and decided a purpose for today’s play.
(I will obtain the information on Ambrosia)
Ambrosia is a fruit known as the fruit of the gods. It is said to be extinct and only exists in folklore.
Or that’s how it was supposed to be, but one day Tauro brought it to Jayanne as a gift for Cool-san.
(The person himself doesn’t seem to realize it though)
Neither Dr. Slime nor her colleague who was presented with the gift had any idea that it was Ambrosia.
However, Explosive onee-sama is a person who loves such legends, and that is why she went on to become a pharmacist at the Royal Magic Academy.
(The aroma and flavor are just like the legend says. And the shape is just like the illustrations in the history books about nature)
She saw that it was Ambrosia and challenged him in a match on bed to get it.
The result was a narrow victory. Using the fruit she obtained, she succeeded in creating a very small amount of 『Lesser Elixir』. She proved that the fruit was Ambrosia.
『Elixir』
It is also called the 『Panacea』, and it demonstrates three B-rank abilities of cure injury, cure disease, and cure status abnormality. The reason why the word 『Lesser』 was attached to Explosive onee-sama’s creation was because it was a triple C-rank instead of B.
This was probably because she was still a student and thus lacked skill and experience.
Eventually, she succeeded in creating the elixir with her instructor, Professor Termano, who is a national expert on potions.
(But, nothing went well after that)
Even the country was in an uproar over the achievement of this historical feat. Next, the Prime Minister ordered the Royal Magic Academy to establish the technology to cultivate the Ambrosia, because no matter how much technology they had acquired for making elixirs, they would be nothing without the ingredients.
(Even professor Thermano was worried about it too)
It can’t be helped that the person in charge of this project was not Thermano, their strengths and weaknesses are different. Explosive onee-same also had almost no experience in growing plants.
In this respect, the Royal Magic Academy has professors who specialize in herbology.
But even so, from what she heard, those people also struggled with it.
(This one, too, almost died at one point)
She sighed as she stared at the flower pot by the window. A thin tree, like the stem of a flower, grows as tall as her index finger and has four leaves on it.
It was an Ambrosia seed that she had planted as a test before handing the material to the academy. It had sprouted.
(I panicked when almost all of the leaves fell off)
It reminded her of that time.
It had three twin leaves, and then it grew a little and had four leaves. Everything was going well up to that point, but one day, it suddenly became bare.
All that was left was a young tree that looked like a straw stuck in the soil.
(…Eh? What is this?)
That was all she could say.
She had no idea what to do. She tried to sprinkle a healing potion from the medicine chest, probably pushed by the sense of impatience that she had to do something quick.
Even as a pharmacist student who studies potions, she never heard anything like a potion had any effect on plants.
(Please!)
She continued to do this for two days. Perhaps her prayers were answered, and a small leaf bud popped up.
(Thank god, it does have an effect)
