Chapter 8 Arcana Heart and Instant Alchemy

The brunch really turned to be a lunch when we are finished with entangling our tongues with each other.

Oh well, it's good anyway, my little sister now also eat the lunch with me on the dining table.

We both are sitting side by side as we are eating the delicious food cooked by my little sister.

And while we are doing that, I also took a peek on my system to see what I get from the quest of kissing my little sister.

I opened the inventory menu and see a pink jewel with the shape of a heart.

A crystalline heart? Is this a magic stone?

Getting curious, I see the item description provided by the system.

[Item Name: Arcana Heart]

[Description: This magical gemstone can only be used by a girl who have not awakened her powers. When used, this wondrous treasure will fuse with their heart and absorb their potential to awaken a new type of power: the ability to transform to be a Mahou Shoujo (also known as Magical Girl)]

....

So....., this item is for my little sister?

She have not awakened her power yet so this reward is perfectly suitable for her.

Also, imagining my little sister can transform into something like a Mahou Shoujo excites me to no end.

It's just that..... What kind of magical girl will she be transformed into?

Is it something like Sailor Lune?

Or Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Hanano?

I just hope it's not something tragic like Mahou Shoujo Nodoka Magica or Mahou Shoujo Isekai Keikaku.

*Author's Note: Yeah, As you have all guessed, the anime culture also exists strongly in this world too ;) *

Now I only need to think on how to give this to my little sister and a good excuse about how this thing can fall to my hand.

.....

Should I go travelling out of town or entering a dungeon nearby and then after going back to home, I will give this to my sister and say that I got this treasure from the dungeon?

Nah, scrap it.

In the first place, everyone here already know that I have not awakened any special abilities after the awakening ceremony.

So if I suddenly go to the dungeon and then awakening my power inside them and even found a treasure inside, wouldn't that make my lie too obvious?

Hmmm, thinking about this is not my forte.....

"Onii-chan, why are you stopped eating? Is the food not to your liking?"

Hearing my little sister asked me with concern, I snapped back from my thoughts.

Ah, it seems that I am drowning in my own thoughts too much and I have stopped eating my sister's cooking.

I better finished eating quickly.

"No, your food is good. I am just thinking of something else."

After that, we both continue eating lunch with fervor.

.....

After lunch, I wash the dishes while my little sister clean up the dining room.

After that, I get out of the house and go to a bamboo forest nearby while bringing a machete with me.

I cut a fine bamboo stalk and sharpened the tip of it to create a makeshift bamboo spear.

And with this I completed another random quest from system.

*Ding*

[Congratulations, host for completing the quest: Make your own weapon. You get a Skill Card: Instant Alchemy.]

I immediately opened the Inventory and see another poker sized card with white frame and golden border.

The card have a picture of a golden sword coming out from a bronze cauldron filled with boiling silver liquid.

[Skill Card: Instant Alchemy]

[Effect: Once per day, you can instantly make a new item by fusing the necessary materials required for it. By holding onto this card, you can know which items around you that can be fused and what will be the end result be.]

Wow, another good skill in my arsenal.

Curious with the effect, I immediately take out the card and hold it in my hand.

Instantly, I got an understanding about fusion from everything that I see on my eyes around me.

For example, by fusing a stone with a bamboo, I can make various kinds of stone weapons with bamboo handle.

Well, I can make one without this skill so of course I skipped it.

However, after I take a walk around the bamboo forest for a while, I found an interesting combination.

The White Mushrooms growing on the bamboo grooves can be fused with Honey from a honey comb hanging on a pine tree nearby and the Blue Grasses growing underneath to make Verdant Healing Pills.

I gathered all the White Mushrooms and Blue Grasses that I can find on the Bamboo Forest and stored it in my System Inventory.

As for honey? I decided to just buy it from the shop on my way home, it is safer than harvesting it straight from the honeycomb.

Although I am now an awakened one, getting stung by honey bees would still hurts.

...

Long story short, I buy a litre of honey from the general shop on my home, then I used the Instant Alchemy card the moment I am on the back yard of my own house.

The skill card conjured a bronze cauldron filled with silvery liquid on it and a golden flame heating it up.

Do I just need to throw everything inside the cauldron?

[Yes, Host. You can even throw the honey along with its bottle.]

That convenient? Sure, let me try it.

I put the white mushrooms, the blue grasses and a bottle of honey on the boiling hot cauldron.

After everything is in, the cauldron immediately shine with multicoloured lights that obscured it from the eyes.

After the blinding light subsided, the cauldron along with the flame below it vanished and what is left in place of the cauldron is a bottle filled with a bunch of green pills inside.

The skill card have become grey and it immediately returned to the system inventory.

I take the bottle from the ground and the system immediately came out to describe it for me.
