This shop was certainly out in the middle of nowhere...but that’s sort of what made it exciting! It was like a secret place to find hidden treasure. Mariela often went to Mistwood to pick herbs for her potions so she figured that she would pop into this place to see if she could find anything useful here. She learned of it as a suggestion from one of the women who liked to buy her soaps. Knowing it was a far ride back to Golden Ward she refrained from collecting herbs today, leaving room inside of her potato-sack bag for any useful appliances she might buy here at Kourindou. While she still couldn’t make as many potions as she wanted, they were a hit with guardsmen and adventurers so she’d made enough to get herself a present today.
Mariela tried to find the clerk among the rows of shelves here, but soon became distracted by a stand mixer. Though it looked a little different than the brand they made in the Labyrinth city she knew it must have the same function. Caroline had taught her that this was much easier to make her sweets with rather than knead-knead-kneading all of that dough for hours. Though she found the effort meditative, she also needed the time to put her alchemy skills to use. It was going to take a lot of work to open her shop on her own again!
“Hellooooo~! Does a Mr. Morichika work here?”
