Staring down at the two of our bodies, blood splattered and caked my clothes, and dried blood matted Kurama's fur.
[Please let this work]
"Recall Kurama"
With a flash Kurama, disappeared from beside me.
"Summon Kurama"
A second flash and a fresh Kurama free from blood stood next to me.
"Quick Change"
In an instant the clothes I was wearing were replaced with a new set of clothes I'd picked up in town when we'd gone shopping.
"Hoh!"
Eyes as wide as saucers the look on his face reminiscent of when I'd first unloaded the mountain of bodies into his workshop.
"You mages always surprise, though can't say I've heard of that spell before, sure wasn't a language I've heard of in my long life"
[Huh but I just spoke normally, but if that's the case when I use commands from my menu does everyone else hear me speaking the earth's languages?]
"Then again this world of ours is sure vast, and I haven't traveled even a third as much as the young miss has"
With that he waved us off as me and Kurama took off out the side door.
Pretending to wander into town but really just circling the building I made sure to put a map pin down so I could always return on my own, we reached the front door entered and ascended to the second floor after a small handful of attempts we found the door to our room, entering and closing the door behind, I told Kurama it was ok to do whatever he wanted as I was going to be shopping in my menu for a bit.
Walking over and taking a seat on the sofa, Kurama meanwhile climbed up to and curled into a ball before falling asleep on the bed.
Pulling my menu up, I pathed into the game store, first I placed a couple of items for supper into the checkout, then moved onto the profession goods tab there were numerous items listed, but sadly no ingredients or materials themselves so I couldn't just spam crafting in my room.
Deciding to purchase what I would need for now, I placed a Mortar & Pestle, Retort, Alembic, and Calcinator into the checkout.
Once that was done I confirmed the purchase and paid.
All the items jumped straight to my inventory, where I removed the four and placed them on the table, then pulled out a handful of the herbs we'd gathered placing them on the table.
[I have no idea what it is I'm actually doing right now but just got to try until I gain the first proficiency point after all]
Grabbing up the herbs I tossed a small bit into the mortar, and began grinding them into a paste with the pestle, once that was done I took the ground up paste and placed it in into the other tools, lit a simple bunsen burner below and adding water from my water skin.
The mixture began to boil changing color all the while until the vapour shot up the pipe before dripping down into the second bulb watching this process take place was oddly calming.
[This whole process reminds me of that time back in school when we tried to make our own still, that ended in failure as it was always destined to, but this time I have help from the system as it can tell me what it is I've actually made and as I level up my understanding will grow]
Once the mixture had completely boiled away, the new sum had condensed into the bulb I used my skill to analyze the mixture.

Cleaning up from my first attempt, I pulled up the menu sighting the new skill Alchemy Level 1, when I clicked into the profession similar to the First aid skill the crafting menu appears and showed that I was capable of creating 2 different potions, and 2 poisons at this time though looking at the ingredients required, water was going to be a tricky one, at present the only water I have is what is in my water skins, so to resupply or collect more I'll need to buy a bunch from the store, or locate a well in town and place a good amount in my inventory.
[Well that's thoughts for another time, for now I'll just focus on my First aid skill for tonight]
Pulling up the first aid section I selected the bandages I'd like to craft, and then set the amount to the maximum I could make at this time from the bolts of cloth in my inventory, before hitting the confirm button.
As soon as I did, a weird sensation passed through my body.
I could still look around but when looking at my hands I saw cloth after cloth materialize, and then get worked by my flurry of hands until a rolled bandage like gauze appeared only to disappear and the process repeat itself.
[So it's just like the game, when crafting through the menu the system take over, until I move to interrupt the action, well I guess since it's doing all the work I'll check out the progress, i should experiment on whether i can do the same with skinning later.]
The cloth bolts in my inventory finally ran out, and the crafting finally stopped after verifying my progress I had leveled up and reached Level 2 in First Aid, 92 total thick bandages were created, capable of healing 25health each.
"Seems like a good stopping point didn't know how many I could make or how long It'd take but still for this many to be made in so short a time, seems like no time at all considering it was just turning a strip of cloth into a rolled up bunch… then again given they provide instant healing it's more likely they receive a healing enchantment so I guess it's not too farfetched but the overall process i'd imagine should take many time more time per bandage than what i just did."
"Arwoo?"
