- Aisha read the recipe after paying the man significantly.
 Adventurer: You'e made the right choice, young lady. You can't get this anywhere else. It's a secret recipe that only a few people from this region know!- Adventurer: I was thrilled to see this one survive when everything else burnt to crips. You're lucky you got this. This is really hard to come by, you know?
- The adventurer kept sweet talking the deal. Though he seemed satisfied, Aisha thought he was worried she might change her mind.
 Aisha: (Sigh... I would have bought it even if it's nothing since I'm the reason his stuff caught on fire...)- She would have haggled normally, but this time, she decided to pay almost (it's dumb not to negotiate) full price.
- Aisha: (I suppose you can say, it's the price of guilty conscience.)
- Aisha took a brief glance at the adventurer's burnt bag but turned her attention back to the recipe, taking in every detail.
- Aisha: (The ingredients that are used... are ones that are often used in normal mana amplifier potions as well. The method used in it are also very similar, and it has detailed information on how you should treat the ingredients.)
- Aisha concluded it wasn't just put together to scam people. It was obvious from the language that was used and the detailed information on the ingredients that this was written by someone with a lot of knowledge on magic.
- Aisha: (Other than that... It's noteworthy that there are some ingredients that are only available from this region, but he did say it was a method only known in this region. I guess it's not too out of the ordinary.)
- Aisha: (And the ingredients should be easy enough to get... Huh...)
- Aisha: (It actually seems pretty legit. Is this actually the real deal?)
- Aisha's eyes widened.
- It's not too common, but some regions and race had special magic that wasn't well known even though it's vastly useful because it wasn't officially registered magic.
- Aisha: (As a clan of magicians with the responsibility to research and spread knowledge on magic, we need to find and encourage and so on... It's something Grandpa used to say often. Was he talking about something like this?)
- As Aisha glared at the recipe and mumbled, the adventurer laughed, saying how he knew she would understand it's true value.
- Adventurer: If you want, I can get the ingredients for you as well. Just let me know if you want anything.
- Ha! As if! Aisha thought to herself. She could just feel that he was trying to rip her off. Now way! She knew she could get it so much cheaper if she worked for it.
- Aisha hurried to leave after ending the conversation. But something crossed her mind at the last moment, and she had to ask.
- Aisha: Um, did you sell this recipe to anyone else?
- Adventurer: Hm? Ah yes, there was one more. A young boy, that was even younger than you.
- Aisha: I thought so...
- Aisha: (So this was what he was talking about. Cheeky brat. He thought he could take my place using something like this?)
- Aisha headed to the streets with the alchemy shop. Since she already read his move, you could say she basically won.
- Aisha: Alright, then let's get to making this legendary mana amplifier potion... and the cure!
