In a world where magic lives and mysterious civilizations are found, Alfraed Logick opens “Herbs & Lotions”, a shop selling various medicines, potions, and lotions.

Under the guidance of a mysterious master, the young man becomes an adept healer who possesses abnormal strength and stamina, fluency in the ancient language, and a willingness to go the extra mile. With these abilities, he promises to make the shop the best in the world and live the lifestyle of his dreams.

In his endeavor to promote his products to the world and earn extra income, he will unexpectedly have encounters with heroes, kings, elder dragons, devil lords, demigods, and many more. Some become trusted friends, some bitter enemies, and one of them is the love of his life.

This is the story of Alfraed Logick's busy life.

I am a non-believer in a perfect main character who is able to do anything and everything flawlessly from the beginning. In early chapters, the titular character made mistakes, made foolish mistakes, and did not always know what to do, resulting in inefficient decisions like in chapter 12—basically, a human.

Through all those errors, he learned and grew, becoming more mature as a person and businessman.

Previously, I used to release 8 to 10 chapters per month. However, since I was appointed Vice President in February 2023, the number of new releases dropped to around 3 to 4 chapters in a month. However, even that quota was hard to meet due to the higher workload and responsibilities. I burnt out, affecting my main job and each chapter's quality. Considering everything, I think the right amount for me is 2 new chapters per month.

Nevertheless, if I could write more, then I would write more.

I appreciate your understanding.

Herbs & Lotions - The Busy Life of Alfraed Logick

""…When will brother Alf return?..."" asked Emma and Evan, hoping the answer to their question would be a good one.

"…You two, the boss just departed yesterday…I'm sure he is still on the road now… I believe it's still a while until he comes back…" replied Lisa, trying to explain the situation, again.

She did not remember how many times the twins asked that same question since this morning, and how she had given similar answer each time they asked. Nevertheless, Lisa was not mad, nor the lease bit irritated.

They were adorably cute in whatever they tried.

""…We know…"" admitted the children. Their ears pulled back and tails bent down, an instinctive reaction of sorrow.

The answer was obvious to them, and that was actually the reason they kept asking, wondering whether it would miraculously be different. Though, they also knew how impossible that occurrence would be. After all, they were smart.
