"Notice, new artefact created, please name your creation" Fabro looked at the system notification. Town Heater, he said In his head." Noted, artefact Town Heater created" "artefact rank too low, no benefit acquired" New formation system created,+ 34 int.
He looked at the notification and sighed, better than nothing I guess. It was time to open the restaurant. With Yamiko gone, he had to find a replacement for a waitress. Fortunately he already had one.
Craves daughter had arrived pretty early, by the time he opened the restaurant she was already waiting in front of the door. Hi, she said with a nervous voice. You must be Craves daughter. Yes sir I am. Good, you can come in.
Also drop the sir, you can call be boss if you like or just use my name, I'm Fabro by the way. Yes sir..boss. He looked at her with amusement. You can go get your uniform at the back and there's no need to be nervous.
Yes boss, he watched as she rushed towards the door behind the counter. Yamino just gave her a nod. Ahh, I forgot to ask her name. She came back wearing a black and white maid uniform that reached above her knees. She looked kind of cute, he thought.
What your name? He asked her. It Cassie boss, welcome aboard Cassie. Thank you, she said softly, he could tell she was still nervous. They prepared the chairs and the tables, before long customers started flowing in.
The restaurant was much warmer than peoples homes so there were more people than usual, infact they had even ran out of chairs and tables, fortunately a lot of them were not really buying, they were just there for the warmth.
He didn't have the hearts to kick them out but he sure as hell had one to make them stand. He noticed a few people started coughing, they were getting a flu. Some had blocked noses. With Yamiko gone, her task will most likely last a few days so he had to do something else during that time.
Fabro did not consider himself a hero but his grandpa had taught him to help others when he can and having lived here for five years, he couldn't just watch as these people die when he can help them without inconveniencing himself.
Crave, Cassies father was also there, he ordered his usual and the big smile on his face being served by his daughter was comical, he looked like a proud father rather than the unrefined brute he usually looked like.
Cassie seemed to have relaxed as well, she no longer looked nervous and was serving people with a big smile on her face. The girl was the same age as the twins, 19 years old. Apparently she had a job before but her boss was a bit of lecher and she was a very pretty girl, he had tried to assault her but she bit his nose off.
She had to be detained and was arrested for a few months, it was only due to her father pulling some strings with merchants that she wasn't executed. The girl is a bit of a savage, maybe that why Yamiko wanted me to hire her, he thought with a smile, wait did she even ask me?
The day ended, he went towards her, so do you want to get paid, monthly, weekly or daily? He asked her. She looked at him confused, however you want to pay me, she replied. Daily it is, he took out a gold coin and gave it to her.
She gave him a weird look, naa infact she looked petrified. Is that not enough? No no no it more than enough, it too much. It is? Fabro wasn't pretending, he really did not know much people earned, infact he did not even know how much the restaurant made.
Everything was handled by Yamiko,money really didn't make much of a difference to him and the twins didn't really get paid, they just took whatever they wanted whenever they wanted and he had never seen Luke but anything in his life.
Well doesn't matter, keep it, you can consider it a welcome gift then. Thank you, she replied with tears in her eyes. It fine, see you tomorrow. She left and he closed the restaurant. He went to his alchemy lab. Tonight he was going to make something different than what he is used to.
He was going to make a flu medicine. It was a simple mortal remedy to be honest,he just needed to create something that can kill viruses, he already knew what kind of virus he was dealing with. It was quite powerful for such a tiny thing but his grandpa had recorded it in his journal.
It was a type of virus that only awakens during the winter season. It was the called the silent reaper. A grand name for something of this calibre but not entirely underserved.
Since they are technically living creatures, using healing magic does not work on them, it just makes them stronger which makes them very troublesome to deal with. He was going to use the myriad poison grass and few other herbs.
The purpose was to create something that will kill viruses while not harming the host. That would take a bit more time so he was going to take a shot cut. Instead he was going to make something that was designed by his grandpa though he never had a chance to use it on people.
It would harm the host a little but would kill the virus, then use the energy from the virus to provide nutrition for the host, this wouldn't work on mortal virus but the silent reaper was special, although not much it still mana in it.
So he began, it was not really a complicated process. He already had all the material for it, all that was left was to make it and so he did, he extracted the essence from the herbs, mixed the essence and a result was a paste like substance. He dried the paste and what was left was a white powder, his grandpa called it the silent killer killer.
