Sarasa, a newly graduated state alchemist, has been gifted a shop of her very own by her master. The catch is...it’s an abandoned building on the frontier! She sets out on the journey there, dreaming of the elegant life that awaits her as a shop owner, but she’s quickly disappointed to learn just how much of a fixer-upper the place really is. Still, even if she’s not thrilled with the rustic location, she’s got a shop to run or she won’t be able to make a living! Surrounded by cute part-timers and kindly villagers, Sarasa is determined to stand on her own as an alchemist. This laid-back story of a magical work life is now open for business!

Freshly recovered from the hellflame grizzly attack, Sarasa, along with new team members Iris and Kate, gets to work reopening her shop just in time for summer. She develops a cooling hat as a product to sell to the villagers...but it’s a bit too pricey for the town’s barter economy! Just as she’s about to crack the economic code and generate her most popular product yet, another alchemist shows up, one who gets in the way of her buying one of the hat’s main ingredients, icefang bat fangs. She who controls the ice controls the summer! The battle for commerce in South Strag is on!

Monster researcher Nordrad Evans arrives at Sarasa’s shop with a letter of introduction that is less than glowing. Asked to assist in his scientific investigation of the salamander’s den, she comes up with the idea of using a remote-controlled homunculus. Iris and Kate go along in person, but...Nord’s obsessive behavior causes another salamander to attack?! In the collapsed cave, all they can rely on is Sarasa’s homunculus to provide direction. Will the three make it back alive?!

While Sarasa continues working hard to master the fourth volume of the Complete Alchemy Works, she and her small gang of adventurers are called upon by the mayor’s daughter to investigate the cause of the hellflame grizzly attack that came from deep within the Gelba Rohha Foothills Forest. Soon after, Iris’s father appears, and he comes with shocking news. It looks like Iris is going to be forced into a political marriage unless she can find another way to help her debt-mired father. Quick to act, Sarasa and the gang head to the great forest to make some fast cash off materials from the fearsome monsters they found during their investigation... Between boots and gloves, they’ve got the equipment for the job! And ice stones and ice arrows will be the perfect weapons for attacking their fiery foes! Let the debt repayment operation commence!

For a new source of income, Nao and his friends decide to harvest and sell precious wood to carpenters in Laffan. In order to reach the area of the forest where precious wood grows, however, they’ll have to traverse dangerous terrain and contend with all sorts of threats—even monsters. Is the reward worth the risk? Follow their new adventures, including swimming sessions and a competition to see who can make the best inspiel sauce, in this sixth volume! Also contains two side story chapters.
