Frontier Magic Pharmacist

e available in the world, there would be no one left to use magic potions.

　Perhaps the gods felt the same as I did.
That’s why she asked me to do it.
Along with an ominous prophecy…….

　From that day onwards I decided to start reading books on magic potions.
As my grandmother was a potion master, there were many books on potions in the Margrave Heine Frontier’s magnificent library.

　However, I soon ran into a problem.

“It’s too difficult to read…”

　There are many words that I don’t know exactly.
As might be expected, children’s picture books alone do not seem to be sufficient for language knowledge.

　Worse still, those books have no illustrations at all.
They have black text that seems to fill the pages.
I lost all interest in reading them.

　You can tell at a glance.
This is probably saying, “Don’t read this book.”

“I wish there was a magic potion book for beginners.”

　I looked for it with faint hopes, but could not find it immediately.

　One day, at the dinner table, my mother asked me with a smile.

“Julius, it looks like you are looking for a book.”

　The servants must have heard that I was doing something in the storeroom.
Maybe they think I have a promising future.
After all, I’ve never seen my brothers using it.
Maybe they have teachers and don’t need to read books.

“Yes.
I’m looking for a book on potions that even I can understand.
……”

　When I said that, my mother’s face tightened.
It was not only his mother’s face.
Father’s face and grandfather’s face were also tight.
Only Grandma was smiling.

　What is this reaction? It is as if a taboo has been touched.

“Yes, I see.
Julius, it’s good that you’re so studious, but you need to have lots of fun now.
And don’t read books about Potions without permission.
You have to be a Potions Master to read them.”

　She told me to stop, as if to admonish me with a serious look on her face.
Apparently, my mother is afraid that I will take an interest in potions.

“Julius, I will teach you how to make magic potions when you grow up, so you have to endure until then.”

　The old lady said with a smile on her face.
Grandmother seems to be in favour of it.
But other than that, it’s the opposite.
But the rest of them are against it.
This must mean that magic potions have some kind of problem.
This needs to be investigated.

　What on earth is going on with magic potions in this world? Come to think of it, I’ve never seen any magic potions.
Is it all put together somewhere?
