"Want more?"
Encore looked at the blue potion in her hand.
"This isn't exactly a magic power recovery potion, but it does help somewhat with mana recovery."
Hilia opened her eyes and exhaled.
The draining of magic power had stopped.
So Rose must have settled things over on that side.
The remaining potion effect restored about a tenth of Hilia's magic power, which was sufficient for now.
She stood up, "No need, it's enough. Thanks, Encore."
Encore hesitated to speak.
Hilia said awkwardly, "I'll withdraw gold coins from the bank and pay you back when we get back."
Encore shook her head, "It's not about the money; that's not important. I wanted to ask... Are these potions unable to restore magic power?"
Hilia said, "How is that possible? These potions work quite well."
Encore replied, "Then why... after using so much, it seems like your magic power barely recovered a little?"
Hilia brushed her hair aside, "Uh, this is a special situation; it's quite normal."
Normal?
