[Western fantasy, no CP, ensemble cast daily life] [Friendship and bonds]
Because the magic items he produced didn't suit his employer's tastes, Wayne was expelled from the Alchemy Society and permanently struck off its rolls.
Wayne lost the right to sign his name to magic items, as well as the employee dormitory where he had been holed up for two and a half years.
With no other choice, Wayne needed to rent a house with land for growing herbs, space for raising magical beasts, a basement to convert into a laboratory, and a balcony for ventilation and drying things out... all to meet the (not at all) basic needs of an alchemist.
Wayne: "Hmm? You say you have an estate that's perfect for all that? ... Oh, wonderful, my landlord. I don't know how to thank you. Please, you must accept this special-effect healing potion! It'll surely cure that old injury of yours! ..."
Kohen: "You're an alchemist? Sorry, I hate everyone in that profession without exception. No alchemist is allowed to live in my house. Unless... you join my mercenary company."
Wayne: "May I ask how large your mercenary company is?"
Kohen: "It hasn't been formed yet. But once you join, it will be."
Wayne: "..."
Wait, does a reclusive, chronically unhealthy alchemist like me really have to go on mercenary missions?!?!
