In which we learn not literally everyone in this world is nice.
Sarasa invites Iris and Kate to stay with her, and considers what to do about repairing her house. This involves trying to sell some of the Hellflame Grizzly bits in the next town over, rather than via portal to the capital.
The first alchemist she checks in with over there tries to cheat her (in a way that’s understandable if still quite unethical, claiming the bits came from a lesser monster and are in bad condition), but the second is, more as you’d expect, quite pleasant, offering Sarasa a good deal and even the opportunity to stay overnight.
When Sarasa returns, she’s able to pay for the wall repairs, and at the insistence of her friends, upgrades to the kitchen. This involves making a magic stove, which one of the townsfolk takes note of, putting in an order for two more. And, for once, Sarasa ends an episode in the black.
