Chapter 14 – Recovery Potion

I brought Shin Hye-yeon into the house.
By the standards of the time, this would be the first time a woman had been brought into this house.
I dated Seulgi Lee, but she had sex with another man before going to bed with me.
Come to think of it, I also wondered if her bizarre nature, rather than any other reason, had an effect on it.
In any case, common sense makes it completely unacceptable.

By Shin Hye-yeon’s standards, my house would have been a very shabby place.
I don’t know what kind of people her family is, and maybe her house is somewhat wealthy.
But from what she had been through, she could tell that she had grown up in a fairly wealthy family.

She wouldn’t have bought her 20-year-old daughter a Ferrari unless she was wealthy.
She would never have given her daughter a chance to study at an academy there by sending her daughter, fresh out of high school, to France.
However, since she herself did not show that kind of expression at all, in my previous life, I just thought Shin Hye-yeon was Lee Seul-gi’s friend.
Since Lee Seul-gi was an F-level student who hoped for an office job, I thought she would have a similar career path.

Even though my house looked shabby to Shin Hye-yeon, I didn’t care too much about it.
From a 20-year-old standard, Shin Hye-yeon was wealthy, but I couldn’t say I was particularly poor.
Besides, I lived a decent life even by objective standards.
It wasn’t because I was born into a rich family, but I enjoyed everything I had cultivated through my own efforts.

And most importantly…

‘Shin Hye-yeon isn’t the kind of woman who would think of such a thing.’

Although today was the first time I had met her in this life, I knew she was not a character to belittle or belittle with the standard of living of her classmates.

“Excuse me.”

Shin Hye-yeon said a reddened greeting to whom she might be addressing.

I didn’t even think to take off my shoes easily when I entered the front door.

“Come on in. I live alone, so there is nothing to treat guests. Can I get you some coffee?”
“Yes… If Seong-gyu doesn’t bother.”
“It’s annoying~”

I invited Shin Hye-yeon to sit at her table and quickly prepared her coffee.
Even at this time, I liked to drink coffee, so I had a small coffee machine.
There was quite a bit of coffee left over from the morning, so all I had to do was warm it up.
It was not a cold season, but Shin Hye-yeon needed a means to restore her tired body and mind to some extent.

“Be comfortable. I clean it every day, but it must have been a bit dusty at night. Please forgive me for that.”
“Yes? There is no such thing as dust. I didn’t know a house where a man lives alone could be this clean. I am ashamed.”

I had never been to Shin Hye-yeon’s house.
But I also thought her house – at least her room – would be clean enough.

Shin Hye-yeon seldom showed that she was the daughter of a wealthy family, but apart from that, she was always neat in her appearance and clothes.
She couldn’t even imagine that such a person’s house would be dirty.

The fact that Shin Hye-yeon was in this studio made the space feel brighter.
Just a day ago, I was in deep despair.
‘NTR Book of Truth’ and ‘NTR Book of Memories’, which I regressed and read, also reminded me of only dark memories.

I felt healed just by the fact that Shin Hye-yeon was here today.
After all, I’ve loved more than 20 times in my previous life, but I haven’t always been rewarded for that feeling.
To be honest, her marriage to the wife she believed to be the last love of her life had always been uncomfortable.
For some reason, I just turned away from the uneasy air that was floating around.

However, Shin Hye-yeon gave me a sense of security through her presence.
The aura emitted by a true human being lifted one’s mood in a positive direction.

Should I say it’s a pity that I met a woman like this?
The fact that only crooked people were seduced into my life could certainly be called a curse.
And after she returned, the fact that her first relationship with Shin Hye-yeon was also worthy of being called a blessing.

I put her coffee cup in front of her.
Shin Hye-yeon said as she put her face over her glass and smelled her scent.

“It smells good. Don’t you eat, Seong-gyu?”
“Wait a while. I have something to do first.”

I sat across from Shin Hye-yeon and worked on one thing.

What I took out of my inventory was a health potion and a mana potion.
In general, the two most commonly used recovery items by hunters.

At least, these were the two most used items at this time.
What I had were the two types of potions that school rules always told me to keep.
Because they were provided at a relatively low price within the school, not all students had a few of these even if they did not have occasion to use them.

I left the two on the table and brought a cup.
It was a cup used for measuring coffee.

He poured the health potion and mana potion into the cup while checking the scale.

Shin Hye-yeon looked closely at the amount I was doing and asked.

“What are you doing?”
“I am making a recovery potion.”
“Recovery… A potion?”

This was a concept that did not exist at the present time.
It was a popular recipe among professional hunters, but it is not officially recognized and is legally prohibited from manufacturing and selling.

It will be about 4 to 5 years later that this will be officially approved and sold.
The first time I encountered this was after entering the guild.

Until the official recovery potion came out, the same recipe was floating around among hunters.
It was known that this was effective, so each person made the necessary amount and used it.

Recovery Potion can be made by mixing certain amounts of Stamina Potion and Mana Potion.
The ratio had to be accurate, so it was necessary to weigh it.
Even the most skillful formulator could have no effect at all or cause side effects if the proportions were wrong.

It wasn’t hard at all for me to make this.
I entered the guild for the first time and learned how to make it from a senior.
When the recovery potion first came out, it was quite expensive.
Most hunters made and used them themselves.

Its main use was for excess recovery.
In particular, it was no different from an essential item for hunters who were immersed in training.

Instantly restores health and mana.
It had the effect of stimulating growth a little by restoring excess muscles, wounds, and mana that had been destroyed that day.

It was a rule to take it at the end of the day and before going to bed.
Or, it could only be taken in an environment where rest was guaranteed.

The reason is that the body strongly demands rest during excess recovery.

If Shin Hye-yeon hadn’t come to my house, she wouldn’t have bothered to make this.
However, considering the intensity of her practice that she did today, it dawned on me that this potion would definitely be needed.
Besides, isn’t there stress from Seulgi?
I know this because I read ‘Book of Memories’, but the stress Shin Hye-yeon received because of Dew Seul-gi was beyond imagination.

I hoped she could recover all of this.

“It’s all done.”

I handed out the finished recovery potion to Shin Hye-yeon.

“This is the recovery potion…”

Shin Hye-yeon looked at the solution in her cup with her curious eyes.

“Do you know how to make it?”
“I learned it directly from a hunter who is active in the field. I have already used it a lot, so there is no doubt about its effectiveness.”

It was true that he learned from a hunter who was active in the field.
It is true that I have used it a lot.
I mean, not in this lifetime, but in previous lives.

Shin Hye-yeon, who trusts me too much, shook her head.

“Seong-gyu made it, but I don’t doubt it.”

I picked up the cup I held out and drank the liquid in it.

“Hmm…”

Shin Hye-yeon closed her eyes and savored the solution she had just passed down her throat.
Her brow furrowed on its own.

“Write?”

The product released four to five years later captured the taste to some extent, but the recovery potion that the hunters personally prepared and used was famous for having a bitter taste.
It’s not to the extent that you can’t eat it, but depending on the person, there was a case where it was difficult to pass it into the throat.

However, Shin Hye-yeon was not the type to have weak patience.

She shook her head and answered.

“Not so much.”

I got my cell phone in my hand.
Then, I launched a delivery app and ordered chicken.
Shin Hye-yeon had no idea what I was doing.

“I am resting. I’ll go out for a while.”
“Yes? Where are you?”
“I’ll get you something to eat. I have nothing to treat.”
“Oh, no. I’m fine.”

It hadn’t been long since I had eaten dinner, so I didn’t have to eat anything again.
But she knew from experience.
The recovery potion caused tremendous hunger as much as it had an excess recovery effect.

“Ah…”

Shin Hye-yeon rubbed her eyelids to see if her drowsiness was pouring out.

“I’ll be back soon.”
“It’s okay… De…”

I put her forehead on her table and looked down at her contentedly as she fell asleep.
I put on her coat and went out of the house to go to the convenience store.
