I’m Leaf, a pharmacist in a remote village. Suddenly, a nobleman comes and takes away my fiancée, who is also my master’s granddaughter.
She makes me work for her and it seems like she’s been seeing someone else behind my back.
She tells me she’s marrying the nobleman and wants me to leave the pharmacy I inherited from my master.
“How about you work for me as my servant at the noble’s mansion?”
“Forget it… I don’t want anything to do with you anymore!”
I get angry, leave my fiancée and the village, and start traveling. There, I save a girl from an attack in the forest and discover I’m an incredible pharmacist with amazing combat skills like an S-ranked adventurer.
Later, I become successful in the royal capital. Meanwhile, my fiancée and the nobleman face tough times after pushing me away.
“Give me the usual medicine.”
“I can’t give you the usual without Leaf!”
The nobleman, disliked by the villagers (who are actually retired legendary heroes), falls from grace, and my fiancée’s luck takes a turn for the worse…



Popular Reviews
The story follows the familiar trope of a mistreated hero who leaves his tormentors, only to reveal extraordinary skills and achieve greatness. In this case, the protagonist, a pharmacist from a village of former heroes, has absurd standards that lead to humorous misunderstandings when he encounters the "normal" world. The repetitive gags, like his magical elixirs that cure everything, never lose their novelty, despite the supporting cast consistently reacting in shock.
The constant reliance on these potions becomes tiresome, yet the author never seems to explore the character's growth or awareness of their unusual abilities. The supporting characters remain oblivious to the absurdity, perpetuating the same reactions every time. It's almost as if the story is playing a running joke that refuses to die.
Despite the lack of depth, the author tries to inject some drama by introducing occasional challenges that cannot be resolved with potions. However, the protagonist always finds a solution that defies logic, turning him into a one-man Swiss Army Knife. The harem element and resurrection potions add a predictable, yet amusing, dynamic.
Surprisingly, the main character maintains a self-effacing demeanor, dismissing his god-like powers as routine in his hero-filled upbringing. However, this attitude clashes with the reality of his abilities once he interacts with the outside world. The story fails to address the implications of his extraordinary skills, leaving him oblivious to how extraordinary he truly is.
One annoyance is the redundant recaps at the beginning of each chapter, which feel unnecessary. Despite the novel's shortcomings, my emotional side can't help but enjoy the lightheartedness and absurdity. So if you're looking for a guilty pleasure that satisfies your emotional side rather than intellectual prowess, this might be worth a read. Just don't expect a deep or sophisticated narrative.
