"Unfortunately, no." The faint smile vanished from Silver's face as she waved a hand. "We'll consider that after you've returned from there."
Afterward, Shokuhou Misaki led Naruto and the others, who had bought several bottles of medicine despite the pain to their wallets, toward the testing grounds.
Silver cast a faint glance at their retreating backs and shook her head slightly. What shortsighted little brats. Once they learned how those potions were made, their eyes would practically pop out of their sockets, wouldn't they?
Thinking of the huge vat placed in the Mysterious Shop's backyard, Silver's lips curled into a smile. She picked up the shoujo manga beside her and resumed reading.
"Oh? People actually still come here."
"Mm... this should be about right." Jiu Ming muttered as he stared at a "pool" before him. If the Twisted Aberrations churning within leaked out... at this scale, there would be no real issue here. Their size was utterly crushed by that of the Mysterious Shop; even if they could grow, they were restricted to the utmost limit.
"Once things develop further, we won't need to use this method anymore."
[Indeed... but that will take quite some time.]
Panel-kun said this. The Mysterious Shop was already quite large, and the number of Twisted Aberrations naturally rose with the tide.
"Don't underestimate the drive brought by all kinds of benefits." Jiu Ming shook his head and chuckled. As long as the Mysterious Shop could offer items of sufficient caliber, those who came here would have needs. If they wanted to obtain them, they would have to keep striving. Perhaps some high-level beings would not need to go through so much trouble.
However, the vast flow of "source" that might circulate in the future would be built upon an enormous base of "monster hunting."
