Blessed with a naturally high skill level of alchemy from a young age, Red was an easy choice early on for the party of heroes combating the forces of the Demon Lord, Taraxon (via Myanimelist). As he and his friends progressed in their quest, however, Red could not keep up with his companions' growth. Eventually, his comrades all outgrew him in strength, and cast him out of their party for good. With nothing left to do, Red departs for the frontier of Zoland, where he opens an apothecary shop using the alchemist skills he gained during his travels.
Things seem fine until Rit, another would-be adventurer who was rejected from his group, arrives and asks to help run his new apothecary. Reluctantly, the two team up and learn to live a peaceful life free from adventure. However, this might not be as easy as he once thought.
