So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests

Chapter 255: The Mysterious Alchemy Seed

Over the weekend, aside from her regular opera performances, Janna-Roland also collaborated with David-Berg and Clann-Roland to record the solo tape version of 【Olivia】 in The Song of the Sea.

However, by Sunday evening, despite Janna having recorded it more than a dozen times, the final version had still not been decided.

Although Janna’s singing remained as stable as ever, the two directors often burst out with inexplicable inspiration mid-process, causing her to repeatedly record new lyrics and melodies on the spot.

By the later stage of the recording, the two directors frequently clashed due to differing visions—Janna, who had initially tried to mediate, eventually took to silently observing instead.

Having fully resigned herself to the role of a "singing tool," Janna no longer concerned herself with the disputes and simply hoped for the session to wrap up quickly so she could return to the dormitory and review the upcoming week’s coursework—

That morning, Janna had already received the latest class schedule delivered by raven.

Aside from Grace-Eva’s Black Magic Defense class being further delayed, both Anthony-Blackcrow and Mary-Margaret's courses were set to resume normal sessions starting next week.

Anthony-Blackcrow’s long-awaited Intermediate Healing class was scheduled for Monday evening.

Moreover, following the “Reading Task,” Janna had completed another white-grade quest over the weekend.

As a result, the upgrade progress of her 【Plant Affinity】 talent successfully climbed to 97%.

Janna speculated that at this pace, her 【Plant Affinity】 would officially advance to A-rank by the end of next week.

This also meant that the long-inactive 【Growth Law Fragment】 would likely see some resolution next week as well.

That is, whether the 【Growth Law Fragment】 would be affected by the 【Plant Affinity】 talent.

“I’m heading out now, everyone.”

“Goodbye, Janna~”

After bidding farewell to the Nightingale Opera troupe, Janna cast 【Psychology Concealment】 and proceeded along the main road toward a nearby alchemy supply store.

Ever since the last ambush by vampires, Janna had become aware that even a seemingly safe gathering place for witches could harbor unexpected threats.

So during her off hours, she made sure to walk along crowded main roads, avoiding being alone whenever possible.

After all, with 【Psychology Concealment】 active, Janna didn’t need to worry about being recognized by ordinary people. As for extraordinary individuals with keen insight—unless someone like Earl-Bloodred had specifically marked her in advance—they wouldn’t be able to see through the concealment either.

After all, the principle of the 【Psychology Concealment】 spell was merely to infinitely weaken Janna’s presence, not to produce any noticeable magical fluctuations.

Ding-ling—

As Janna gently pushed open the door to an alchemy supply store named “House of Mice,” a wind chime hanging at the entrance swayed lightly, producing a crisp sound.

“Welcome to House of Mice, how may I assist you?”

Greeting Janna was a dark-skinned, well-built curly-haired female clerk.

“I’d like to take a look at the alchemical bathtubs.”

“Of course, right this way.”

The moment she stepped inside, Janna lifted the 【Psychology Concealment】 spell. However, because she was still wearing her large wizard hood, the clerk didn’t recognize her identity.

“This model is our shop’s latest release. Not only does it condense mana for convenient daily meditation, it also features automatic massage, self-cleaning, and water temperature regulation—and it’s quite reasonably priced.

Only one hundred and eighty Gold Surels.”

Upon hearing the introduction, Janna immediately realized this was the very model Vivian had recommended earlier.

“Alright, I’ll take this one. Do you provide installation services?”

Hearing how decisively Janna agreed to purchase, the clerk’s smile brightened even more.

“House of Mice has always offered free home installation—no worries there.”

“Even at White Coral Academy?”

“Ah—well…”

The clerk’s expression turned slightly troubled upon hearing that Janna was from White Coral Academy, but she quickly recovered her professional demeanor.

“If it’s the Academy, we may not be able to send someone for installation. However, for just one additional Gold Surel, we can provide a disposable alchemical golem that will do the installation for you.”

“An alchemical golem?”

Upon hearing the proposed solution, Janna nodded approvingly.

“That works—let’s go with that.” Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novèlfire.net

“Thank you for your patronage!”

The alchemical bathtub was quite bulky, far too large for Janna’s Thorn Bracelet to contain. Fortunately, she still had the dimensional storage pouch gifted by Jarvis-Roland, which barely managed to fit the tub inside.

Afterward, Janna headed to the Golden Lily Auction House, where she purchased a considerable amount of mithril, high-energy ores, and other precious metals. Even with the service fees waived, the total cost amounted to thirteen thousand Gold Surels—a painful expense for Janna.

“Money really vanishes fast—”

After storing the expensive materials in her Thorn Bracelet, Janna cast both 【Psychology Concealment】 and 【Light Feather Spell】 and returned to the dormitory before nightfall.

Next, she retrieved the alchemical bathtub and a spider-shaped alchemical golem from the dimensional storage pouch, then followed the clerk’s instructions by dripping a small amount of machine oil into the golem’s rear compartment to activate it.

Click click—

Accompanied by a sharp, teeth-grinding noise, the spider-shaped alchemical golem scanned its surroundings, then efficiently picked up the bathtub and moved it into the washroom.

“Alchemy these days is really something—”

Watching the golem expertly install the tub, Janna couldn’t help but think of the “Tower Spirit” in the magic tower, which possessed intelligence rivaling that of humans.

Such craftsmanship was rare even in her previous life.

Let alone the legendary “Alchemy Capital”—Sky City, a First-Level Witch Gathering Place—whose alchemy technology was said to be far more advanced.

Thinking of this, Janna pulled out all the high-energy precious metals she had just bought from her Thorn Bracelet, along with the 【Mysterious Alchemy Seed】 she had been awarded by Anthony-Blackcrow himself during the “Tri-school Joint Exam” for her outstanding performance.

“This time, I refuse to believe you’ll stay unchanged.”

Looking at the 【Mysterious Alchemy Seed】 still in its metallic pineapple form, Janna, who had just spent a fortune, was determined to let it feed to its fill.
