Frontier Magic Pharmacist

Chapter 1: Request

　As usual, I fired up my favorite VR game that I play every day.

　What shall I make today? It looks like the stock of magic potion will run out soon, so should I mass-produce it?

　Magic potions are consumable.
No matter how many you make, they sell more and more.

　I was thinking about this, but the start screen never appeared.
Instead, a blank screen was displayed as if the game had frozen.

　What the hell is this? There should have been no emergency maintenance information.

　At that moment, a woman appeared in front of me.
She has a long white cloth wrapped around her body like a goddess in Greek mythology.
Was there a character like this in the game?

“I have a request to ask of you today, and had no choice but to meddle with you.”

“Request? Interference ……It’s not gentle.”

“I’m sorry, but I had no choice but to do this.
Please forgive me.”

　Saying that, the woman in front of me lowered her head.
I feel a little sorry for such a beautiful woman to bow her head.

　The reason I can keep my cool like this is probably because I’ve been immersed in the swamp of VR.
Some games fought elaborate zombies that were indistinguishable from reality, and others had me fighting jellyfish-like aliens.
The boundary between reality and games is definitely disappearing.

“I don’t mind.
Raise your head.
So, what do you want me to do by interfering?”

　From the looks of it, the other party must be a god or something.
If the management side of the game I just activated was interfering with us, the character in front of me would be displaying a red, glaring aura.
Because that’s what happened to the GMs I encountered before.

“I have seen your gameplay information.
It appears that you are fond of production jobs.
Especially when it comes to the production of magic potions, you are unmatched by other players.
Am I wrong?”

“Maybe it’s right, I think.”

　I don’t know if I was unrivaled by other players, but I was always at the top.
What’s wrong with that?

“I have a favor to ask of you.
Please, will you come to the world I have created and help me develop magic potions?”

“Eh?”

　I couldn’t help but let out a bare voice.
I wondered if this was an invitation to reincarnate in another world, and when had VR technology developed to that level? In a way, it’s wonderful.

“I am sorry, I have not explained myself well enough.
If you accept, I will reincarnate you into my world with the knowledge and skills of the game.
Is this far enough?”

“Um, is my game knowledge and skills useful?”

“Yes, it is.
Every item made in this game can be reproduced in the world you are about to visit.”

　Oops, I haven’t replied yet, but I’m already supposed to be reincarnated.
It seems that she has already noticed that his heart is shaking.
As expected of a god.

“If I go to the world you created, what will happen to me in this world? Will I die?”

“No, you need not worry about that.
I am handling your existence, and when you die in my world, you will return to your present state.”

“So does that mean that when I die, I’ll be back to normal?”

“That’s right.
Your memory will be back to normal.
You will not remember having contact with me in this way.”

　Then I don’t know if I’m willing to take it on separately.
It doesn’t seem like there’s any risk to me.
Rather, it means I can test my in-game strength in another world and live twice my life.
It could be interesting.

“If that’s the case, I’ll accept it.”

　The god breathed a sigh of relief.
Apparently she’s in such dire straits.
Is the situation really that bad? I’m getting a little worried.

“Thank you very much.
I believe that your success will save the world from the clutches of the evil one.”

“Ah, wait!?”

　In the next moment, everything in front of my eyes turned white.
I couldn’t keep my eyes open because it’s so bright.

　Didn’t that god make a bombshell statement at the end? Save the world or something…

　Suddenly, a floating sensation hit my body.
It was as if someone had lifted me up.
I was also bobbing up and down.
This was probably the feeling of a baby being lifted up and down.
……

　She said I would be reincarnated, but it seems that I will start as a baby, whether I expected it or not.

　I can’t see well and I don’t know what to say.
Have I ever felt so anxious? There is one thing you can do to get rid of that anxiety.
It is to raise the first cry.

　For the time being, I cried “Ogya”.
There were obviously more cheers from the surroundings than before.

　Have we now completed the baby’s first role? Now it’s time to suck mommy’s tit to grow …… squishy.
Very embarrassing, but I had to do it to survive.

　Thus, I was reincarnated in another world and made a new start.
