[Creator: Esmeralda]
"Huh! Three Evolution Items?"
After reading the message Esmeralda had sent, Lan Qingyou could not help exclaiming in surprise.
"Yep, three."
"I thought it was just the Witch Potion and the Demon Potion."
"Couldn't be helped. The conflict between the two was too severe."
"So I added a third one to balance them out."
"Otherwise, they'd be like the two poles of a magnet—there'd be no way to knead them together."
At that point,
Esmeralda's tone lost its earlier cheerfulness.
It was replaced by helplessness.
And Lan Qingyou could hear a faint trace of compromise in that helplessness.
Could this be the "imperfect perfect" mentioned in the description?
And she had even used magnets as her metaphor.
That made it clear just how difficult it had been.
After all, what the two poles of a magnet represented was worth pondering.
Of course, the simplest and most direct interpretation was two words: "extremes."
The Witch Potion and the Demon Potion were two extremes.
That was why a different Evolution Item had been needed as a buffer between them.
Only then could those two extreme things be fused together.
And besides...
"Because of your Fusion Magic Eye, the description came out as 'imperfect perfect,' right?"
"Even with something acting as a buffer between two extreme products,"
"it would still be difficult to knead them together."
"So you used your Magic Eye to forcibly fuse them."
"That's why, although the potion received a good evaluation, it was more of an affirmation of its creator."
