Meanwhile, at the table,

"I don't like how long Usagi is taking dealing with the wolf jerk. Mako, Ami, you two come with me to back her up. Naru, Umino, watch our stuff."

She will proceed to head over to the bar, followed by two of the other girls.

"I don't mind, it's kinda true. I'm a simple guy. I cut trees, I play tasslefass, I go home and hug my wife. Secrets? I mean... I have no real reason to tell anyone, but also they say three can keep a secret if two are dead. Also, look."

He nods behind Usagi, towards where her friends are coming.

"Usagi, don't reveal any secrets to the guy who just demanded you strip in exchange for Mamoru's life. Also don't give him your neckerchief, we don't even know if it's even real medicine he's offering or just quackery."

"He's not a bad person, Mina. He ended up agreeing to give me the medicine even though I couldn't afford it. And the medicine's worth a month of his pay, it's expensive for him to give it up."

"You only have his word about that. And even if it's true it doesn't make what he demanded OK."

"-Oh, right, most places care about that. I didn't realize about the clothes, sorry. Even if I had thought of it I imagined you'd... Get spares from somewhere, or something. Ugh, bleh. And I guess you're right about the potion, wait. You could ask Bar for books from my world about healing magic?"

"Even if you can prove your world has a healing potion that doesn't prove what you're selling isn't a fake."

He makes a face and shrugs.

"It might have tests that can tell the real thing from a fake. Excuse me, Ms Bar, do you have any books from his world with information on stabilizer potions and tests used to distinguish genuine stabilizer potions from fakes?"

A napkin appears.

There is a textbook that covers the creation of stabilizer among other things. I'm not sure if it suffices as a method of verification. Would you like to borrow it?

Brigo says, "Hey, can I get another drink? Or maybe dessert? Something... Tart and sweet and cold."

A raspberry ice cream and chocolate sundae appears. He pays with a small blue coin.

"That looks good. Could I have one as well?"

"Hmm... - if there's some sort of harm where we can confirm it's not cheaper to get a fake stabilizer that only effects that, but which can be fixed with the resources available in the bar, we could test if it effects that. Aside from that, there might be other tests I'll be able to come up with from the information in the textbook. I would like to borrow the textbook, please, Ms. Bar."

Another sundae appears, with a different pattern of chocolate swirls- Flowers instead of stripes.

That will be ¥300, please.

And separately a textbook appears in front of Ami. It's titled 'The Dark Green Reference Book for Colonists'.

"I'd like to borrow some alien adventure stories!" Brigo declares. He peers at a napkin. "With weird kinds of magic where how the magic works changes things?"

Books appear.

The girl who asked for the textbook will head back to the table to look for information on stabilizer in it.

"Sorry about Mina's suspicion. She's just trying to look out for me."

"If he has a problem with suspicion he shouldn't act so sus."

"Should we go back to the table? I don't think he'll appreciate our interrupting his reading to argue about this."

They head back towards the table.

The textbook talks about how even an IDIOT who FAILED OUT OF TEMPLE SCHOOL can do these simple magic tricks that make your life noticeably better! Or even save your life! For example, did you know that there are lots of DIFFERENT kinds of poison? Don't fight a neurotoxin the same way as a necrotic toxin!
