L93. Journey to Optima 5

Claudie tries a bit of the potion.

"Ugh..." An expression of disgust appears on her face. "It doesn't taste right. It should be... a little sweeter."

You decide to take her word for it, as the potion doesn't look very appetizing.

"It needs a batch of Holy Water Crystals to balance it out. Unfortunately, those crystals were stolen by the Robu Bandits when they raided the village."

"You'll have to defeat the Robu Bandits to get the Holy Water Crystals and complete the potion."

"Hey, one more thing..." Claudie lowers her voice and you draw near, trying to catch what she has to say.

"Well... it's nothing really..." Claudie's cheeks turn slightly red. "If possible, try not to mess up the Robu Hidden Bandit's face, he's actually kind of cute. Heehee..."

You roll your eyes at Claudie's request, and decide you'll do what you have to do.

"You're back! Give the crystals to me."

You hand the crystals to Claudie.

She throws the crystals into the cauldron, mumbling something under her breath. A puff of white smoke suddenly rises, and the potion inside the cauldron turns into a translucent solution.

"Yes, it's done!" Claudie cheers loudly, the large spoon in her hand almost hitting your head.

You stare at the clear liquid in the cauldron, and decide that making potions is not a very exact science.
