That would be even more awesome if he actually had more disposable income at his fingertips. So, he needed a way to make money. He drummed his fingers on his desk until an obvious idea that made him want to slap himself came to mind.
He could make a store scenario! It wouldn't be that hard to accomplish either. A single NPC, a small shop, and just a few things for sale. Given how Sona had passed the Least Healing Potion on to the Satans, he was sure they'd analyzed it by now. That was just one potion so he was certain they would want more to figure it out.
With the Alchemy upgrade he now had access to the next tier of healing, mana, and stamina potions, which were twice as effective as the Least variant. He'd have to upgrade the Alchemy section further for better potions for his scenarios.
Not unexpected or a big deal. For other kinds of potions, the recipes weren't provided so he would need to do research.
Right! New plan! His fighting scenario needed to be swapped to his new shop idea. He wasn't dirt poor, but he didn't have all that much money in hand.
Selling some potions would give him cash that he could use to make life easier and as funds for researching new potions. Potions that he could use those same materials to make and drink himself!
This was going to be so awesome!
Rias and Sona both stared at the shimmering blue portal signifying yet another pocket dimension. This time whoever was making them had placed it in the middle of woods within a park.
It was off the main pathways and hidden within the trees so not easy for people wandering by to spot. Still, it was technically out in public and that annoyed Sona a great deal.
Thankfully they had been on guard for a new portal and had been able to respond swiftly.
It now had a small ward around it that would keep it hidden from normal humans. As they looked it over, Rias was the one to ask, "What do you think it is this time?"
Sona sighed and shook her head, "I don't have a clue. All scans show the same thing as always. The only way to know for certain is to go inside."
That was all the invitation Rias needed. Without another word, she practically skipped into the portal.
As she passed through it she let out a gasp, her eyes widening in surprise. She'd found herself in a small bazaar across from a man who looked like he was of Arabian descent. Dark sun-kissed skin, black hair and goatee, dark eyes, and a wide inviting smile that showed a lot of white teeth.
He dramatically lifted his hands into the air as he practically shouted, "Welcome! Welcome to Azeez's shop! Azeez has many... lots... some things to sell! Come, lovely new customer! No no! Come, my first customer! Oh, Azeez is so excited!"
Sona came through the portal at that moment prompting Azeez to go off again, "Another customer so soon? Oh! Truly this is a good day for Azeez! Come! Come! Azeez will sell you such wonders!"
Sona's gaze immediately went completely flat, "It's a store?"
Azeez, having heard her scoffed, "Store?! STORE?! No! This is Azeez's Bazaar! A place of wonder, mystery, and intrigue, filled with a... few... items that might be for sale for the right price."
Rias giggled as every time Azeez mentioned his inventory he looked like he'd sucked a lemon due to its limited size, apparently. Sona sighed in annoyance and stayed back by the doorway leading out of the shop dimension.
Rias, ever the more outgoing one, walked over to the counter and gave Azeez a bright smile, "What do you have for sale, Azeez?"
The man smiled brightly showing off shiny pearly white teeth hidden behind his thick black goatee, "For you pretty lady? Azeez has potions of such wondrous power! So special they are... limited in supply."
Translation, Ryuji only had enough cash on hand to buy enough ingredients to make three Lesser Healing Potions leaving poor Azeez waving in the wind.
Though, lucky for him, the mention of potions for sale intrigued both young women. Even Sona couldn't be grumpy at the prospect of getting more of the potions for testing purposes, or even to use when necessary.
Seeing their growing interest, Azeez laughed playfully and reached beneath his counter to pull up a trio of potions. Vials filled with Red, Green, and Blue liquid sat in a tray causing both girls to look on in intrigue.
A second tray was retrieved showing another trio of red potions. Azeez lifted a red potion from the first batch, "What I have here is the miraculous Least Healing Potion. True, it is the weakest of all healing potions, but even it can save a life!"
He put it back and lifted the green potion, "This is the incredible Least Stamina Potion! When you're feeling tired or drained, drinking this will have you feeling a bit better! Such a wonder!" He moved to the next to last potion, "And one must not forget the truly miraculous, Least Mana Potion! Drink this after casting a few spells and enjoy the wonder of your magic recovering!"
Finally, he picked up one of the potions from the second rack, "This, my lovelies, is my newest product! A Lesser healing potion! Twice as effective as it's Least brother!"
Neither girl showed much interest in the first two potions, they'd already seen a Least Healing Potion and Stamina potions seemed rather bland.
The Mana potion and stronger healing potion though? Both looked at them with some intrigue. Rias moved closer to the counter, stepping past a bit of hanging cloth, to get a closer look at the potions.
As she got to the wooden counter she froze and her eyes widened as she looked past Azeez and slightly above him.
