There had been a major breakthrough in potion-making.
The quality inspection of the harvested medicinal herbs was finally complete.
Stella, who always wore a gentle smile, now beamed with an even brighter expression as she reported to Wataru.
"All the dried herbs passed quality control without issue. They're good enough that the Apothecary Guild would pay full price."
"Oh, really!? Then we can use them for potion production as-is, right?"
"That's right~ Since I handled the harvesting and drying, I think we can make a really high-quality product~"
Her soft tone carried a subtle excitement.
Though the potion wasn't completed yet, resolving this major concern gave them a deep sense of accomplishment.
Wataru's breath came a little heavier as he shifted into planning mode.
"Alright, next we'll need to actually make the potion and test if it works properly."
"Yes~ Based on the acute potion we made last time, I believe it'll succeed… but we won't know for sure until we try~"
