Just a short while ago, an apprentice scholar had declared that Baron Leech Clarence—the new heir to his late father's castle—had little more than a day to live. Fortunately, the apprentice added, Baron Leech would be able to pass the last moments of his life in a painless coma.
After his passing, Baron Leech's younger brother, Leo Clarence, would inherit the barony and the dilapidated Porcupine Castle. And when Leo, in turn, returned to the embrace of the Four Gods, he would pass the title and fiefdom on to his eldest son, ensuring the Clarence line would continue forever.
That was, of course, assuming Baron Leech actually died.

'So, what is that yellow dot?'
'My golden finger is summoning tombstones? Am I supposed to crush people to death with them?'


"Of course not! Brewing Magic Potions requires not just materials, but a good mood as well," Ramsnor said very seriously. "What I mean is, you can hire me to brew the potions. You provide the Magic Potion Materials, and I'll just charge a fee for my services."


Leech mused, "A bottle of Lucky Potion costs 10 Jinri, I believe. If I provide the materials for you to brew it, how much would you charge?"


"Five Jinri." Ram raised her right hand, extending five slender fingers. "The Lucky Potion is very difficult to make. Not only are the materials scarce, but its creation must also be aligned with the stars."


'Brewing potions according to the heavens? This is suddenly a bit like the Alchemy from Earth's myths.'


"And the cost of the materials?" Leech asked.


"...Is there any difference between that and just buying the finished product directly from you?"
