As Long as You Have the [Shop] Skill, the Dungeonized World Is a Breeze ~The Bullied Youth’s Payback Lifestyle~ - Chapter 216
Chapter 216 – Recipe
“Hey, what are you going to do when the war starts?” (Shakuhara)
“Hm? The war… Ah, you mean the all-out clash with the Hosen Group? Well, let’s see… I’ll make money, I guess.” (Torimoto)
“Hah? …You aren’t seriously going to demand payment every time you heal a wounded person, are you?” (Shakuhara)
“Of course I am. The reason I came here was to do business. Or do you think I’m just going to heal a bunch of people who hate men out of the goodness of my heart? I could get myself killed if I’m not careful.” (Torimoto)
“That’s… Well, I suppose so.” (Shakuhara)
Well, well. Surprisingly, she seems convinced.
I thought she was going to say that men should only work for women.
“Besides, the medicine can’t be made for free. The medicine that cured Saniwa-san cost quite a lot of money.” (Torimoto)
“…..Ah, e-er… about how much…?” Saniwa asked timidly, sounding somewhat uneasy.
“I’m also a bit curious about that. What does it actually cost?” (Shakuhara)
“…I think it’s better if you don’t ask…” (Torimoto)
“It’s fine, just tell me! Telling me is free, right?!” (Shakuhara)
“Sigh……It costs ¥50,000,000.” (Torimoto)
““F-Fifty million…?!!””
The two of them blurted out in unison and stared at me with wide eyes. They probably couldn’t deny it if I called them twin sisters after that.
Well, it was a lie anyway. It was actually around ¥15,000,000.
It didn’t change the fact that it was a huge sum of money. Shakuhara was frozen with her mouth open, while Saniwa’s mouth was opening and closing in surprise like a fish.
“W-W-What do I do?! I can’t pay back that much moneeeey…” (Saniwa)
“C-Calm down! Hey, is that really how much it costs?!” (Shakuhara)
“Do you really think there would normally be a drug in this world that can regrow a missing arm and leg in an instant?” (Torimoto)
“Wuuu….” (Saniwa)
“My medicine can restore anyone with any kind of fatal wounds, as long as they aren’t dead. Do you really think ¥50,000,000 for such a panacea is expensive?” (Torimoto)
No matter how you thought about it, it was cheap. Way too cheap. It may not be that valuable in the other world, but at least on Earth, it was no different from a miracle. There would be an endless number of people who would be willing to pay hundreds of millions or even billions of yen for such an item.
“B-But isn’t it strange? If it’s that amazing, shouldn’t it be even more expensive…?” (Shakuhara)
“What’s expensive is the ingredients for the medicine. Once the ingredients are gathered, the process for making it isn’t that difficult.” (Torimoto)
“H-How do you make it?” (Shakuhara)
“That’s a secret. Well, how much would you be willing to pay to know that secret?” (Torimoto)
It was a medicine that could instantly cure any injury or disease. If she could get her hands on the recipe, she could make a fortune.
“….About 10 billion…?” (Shakuhara)
“Do you have that much money on you?” (Torimoto)
“Of course not!” (Shakuhara)
“That’s unfortunate. Well, I don’t care about how many billions of yen it is, I have no intention of selling the recipe.” (Torimoto)
After all, regardless of how much they paid up, it would be impossible for anyone else but me to make this medicine. Originally, the [Elixir] was something that was produced from the sap of the World Tree, which only existed in the other world.
But apparently, the sap that naturally oozed out of the tree had to be collected and left to mature for more than 500 years. Plus, a large amount of sap was needed, and even if it was aged, it wouldn’t always be successfully completed. The temperature and humidity of the aging environment had to be suitable or else the aging process for the sap would fail.
After it was aged properly, the sap would take a crystallized form, and once the crystals were melted at a high temperature, the resulting liquid would become what was known as [Elixir].

The remaining surplus liquid that didn’t get fully crystallized at the end of the aging process would be used to produce what was known as [Elixir・Mini]. Considering the amount of time and effort it required, it had to be extremely valuable, even in the other world.
“I-I was allowed to drink something that amazing…” (Saniwa)
Saniwa started to laugh hollowly as she gazed emptily off into the distance.
“Hey Riwa, get a hold of yourself! Besides, Founder-sama already said not to worry about it!” (Shakuhara)
“B-But it’s ¥50,000,000! I feel so bad now!” (Saniwa)
Sayuri had paid for her, but Saniwa, who was the definition of a good person, couldn’t sit quietly as she received such a huge favor.
“Like I told you, you shouldn’t have asked about the price…” (Torimoto)
“Wuuu… I’m sorry.” (Saniwa)
“You don’t have to apologize to a guy like him! …..Well, I’m still grateful that Riwa was rescued because of you. Huh…? But how did you get her to take the medicine…?” (Shakuhara)
….Oops?
“I mean at that time, Riwa was in a state where she couldn’t even drink water. We only managed to keep her hydrated with an IV drip.” (Shakuhara)
I don’t like where this is going…
“But I heard from Aoyama-san that I was able to make a complete recovery after drinking Torimoto-sama’s medicine.” (Saniwa)
“Drinking… But like I said, you weren’t in the condition to drink anything. I tried many times to make you drink water, but you always vomited it back up.” (Shakuhara)
“H-Hey… Don’t say that I was vomiting in front of Torimoto-sama!” (Saniwa)
Yeah, this conversation is seriously headed south…

“Riwa, you don’t remember what happened then?” (Shakuhara)
“Hmmm, after I got better I kind of remember, but… ah, after that I remember that one of them gave me some mouthwash and told me that it would be better to rinse my mouth…? And then brush my teeth. They were all looking at me with worry or pity in their eyes, I think…” (Saniwa)
Uhh….
“That’s weird. I wonder if the medicine had that bad of an aftertaste. Hey Torimoto, how did you get her to drink the medicine?” (Shakuhara)
Crap, I knew she was going to ask…
The two of them looked at me with great interest. It definitely wasn’t a situation where I could tell them straight that I gave it to her mouth-to-mouth.
If they found out about it, the least Shakuhara might do was shoot me.
