Takasugi Returns to the Shop

After exiting the dungeon, we headed to the shop that sold weapons and armor.

At this rate, I was definitely going to end up with sore muscles.

So we came to see if there was anything useful.

That’s when I spotted something good.

A potion.

If it works on injuries, wouldn’t it also work on muscle pain?

Apparently, you don’t just pour it on wounds—you can drink it, too.

Wait, a basic potion costs 50,000 yen!?

Even with the explorer’s discount?

It came in a bottle that looked like one of those energy drinks.

I bought one and gave it a try.

…Disgusting.

But the muscle cramps vanished, and my body felt like it did before entering the dungeon.

Looks like I won’t have to worry about muscle soreness after all.

Truly, the power of money wins again!

Then it hit me.

I needed insurance.

Even someone as talented as me isn’t completely immune to getting hurt.

I should plan ahead.

If I get injured in a spot I can’t reach—like my back—I won’t be able to apply the potion myself.

I’ll give it to Kudou and have him pour it on the wound for me.

So I bought another potion and handed it to Kudou.

He immediately popped the lid off and chugged the whole thing.

Then he said,
“Ugh, that tastes awful.”

No! That’s not what it’s for!

Why the hell did you drink it without asking!?

I explained the situation to him.

“Listen carefully, Kudou. You’re fully armored from head to toe, so you’re pretty safe. But I’m in light gear. If I get hurt, I need you to pour that potion on my wound and save me, alright?”

Kudou nodded and said,
“Got it! Leave it to me!”

Finally, he understood.

So I bought one more basic potion and entrusted it to Kudou.

Translator’s Note:

  • ポーション (Potion): A standard healing item in fantasy settings. Often consumed, but here it doubles as a topical application, playing into the humor.

  • ５万円 (50,000 yen): Roughly $300–350 USD depending on exchange rate, highlighting how expensive even low-tier items are for new adventurers.

  • 高杉’s attitude continues to be a mix of pride, naivety, and misdirected leadership—classic comedy in light novel tropes.
