Since the mana stone was ready, I immediately made a Yureve. Today’s companions were Angelica, Darmel, and Brother Cornelius. The reason I was accompanied only by adults was because we were learning how to make Yureve at the noble academy. I had made one once before, so I knew the method, at least somewhat. The guard knights served as assistants to confirm the procedure. The head priest told me to call him once it was done, as he wanted to spend time handing over duties to the civil officials.
“Lady Rosemine, can you really make Yureve already? I was only able to make it in fifth grade,” Brother Cornelius said, astonished at the head priest’s strict training.
Angelica, who was good at practical skills, proudly said, “I also made it in fifth grade.”
“I was in my final year. Since it’s not something you make often, I wanted to be greedy and produce the highest quality possible, but because of that, the materials barely absorbed it until the very last moment, which was really tough,” Angelica explained.
Apparently, lower-ranking nobles need to obtain materials as early as possible; otherwise, it takes a long time to dye them with mana. Darmel complained that with the Rosemine-style mana compression method significantly increasing mana, he wished he could remake it and regretted being greedy with the academy’s Yureve.
“The Yureve made in noble academy lectures is basically quite poor quality. The knight apprentices gather materials from the academy or their respective territories and dye them with their own mana, but since they don’t harvest the materials themselves, the quality drops,” Darmel said.
Knight apprentices gather the materials themselves, so the quality is somewhat better, but the civil officials mostly purchase materials from the knight apprentices, which inevitably lowers the quality.
“It seems that removing miscellaneous mana from the materials prevents the quality from dropping,” I shared the method the head priest taught me with everyone, but they immediately said that handling such a fine and large quantity of mana was impossible for them.
“You need enough mana just to expel the miscellaneous mana, Lady Rosemine. Then you have to dye it again with mana, so it’s too difficult for lower-ranking nobles. They can’t do it the way you do, and they don’t need that level of quality,” Darmel said, shrugging.
“Our role is just to confirm the procedure. Now, let’s begin.”
The assistants this time were Darmel and Brother Cornelius, who had made Yureve before and remembered the order properly, and Angelica’s demonic sword Steinluk. Although Angelica seemed to have forgotten, Steinluk clearly remembered. It was a very useful demonic sword.
Following the instructions from Steinluk’s voice, I made the Yureve. I endured the tiring arms while mixing the mana stone. When I made it last time, I didn’t have a stave, so I had used a magic tool. This time, I used a mixing rod transformed from a stave, and the ease was overwhelmingly different—truly impressive.
“Next, add that amplification potion.”
At Steinluk’s voice, Brother Cornelius took a pitcher containing the amplification potion and was about to hand it to me but stopped. The pitcher wasn’t very big, so normally I would hold it in one hand while stirring with the other, but he probably realized I couldn’t hold it with one hand.
“Shall I pour it for you?”
“…Please.”
The black liquid was poured in, and the contents of the mixing pot suddenly expanded. While stirring it around, Steinluk’s voice said, “This is the final touch.”
Darmel took a small bottle from the table and dropped a single drop in. At that moment, the surface of the potion shone dazzlingly. The Yureve was complete.
“I will inform Lord Ferdinand.”
Darmel left the workshop. Brother Cornelius peered into the mixing pot and muttered, “I wonder when we’ll use this?”
…When, indeed?
My reading time was being eaten up as I was busy with noble academy preparations and handovers within the temple, so I had no leisure to immerse myself in the Yureve. If possible, I wanted to avoid soaking in it and delay it.
