A peddler routinely visits the workshop to help stock the ingredients for making medicine. As a person that wanders around various areas, selling valuable merchandise and speaking of the movements going on in the world outside of our blissfully ignorant neighborhood, he's a person I'm exceedingly grateful for.

There have been quite a lot of places where the flow of mana has been bad recently. It's become quite a problem, as the damages to my compatriots from monster and animal attacks has greatly increased.

I've been taking all due precautions, but... You wouldn't happen to know of a good animal-repelling incense or the like, would you, Apothecary-san?

At the time, I sent my friend, the peddler, off with some tobacco mixed with herbs with scents I knew animals disliked, but in my mind, I was reminded of the "song" Reszurre had used to soothe the bear we'd run into on our journey to see Adam.
