In Episode 10 of "Potion-danomi de Ikinobimasu!", Kaoru opens a new shop called "Reyette's Atelier" in the Kingdom of Jusral. The store, which functions as a pharmacy, quickly catches the attention of the locals, including soldiers who are fascinated by the variety of medicines offered, especially for treating "Soldier's Syndrome" (athlete's foot).

Kaoru introduces a line of medications to treat Soldier's Syndrome, offered at different prices, ensuring a steady income stream. Skillfully, she creates a dependency on her products, as the cheaper variant only alleviates symptoms without curing the disease, guaranteeing repeat customers.

Kaoru hires Emil and Belle as shopkeepers, offering them generous salaries and proper accommodation. This decision is part of her strategy to improve her reputation and prepare them for independence. She also considers opening a branch of "The Eyes of the Goddess" in the city.

Lieutenant Colonel Nevas von Vonsas of the royal army in the capital approaches Kaoru with a proposal to purchase her soldier's potions in bulk for the military. He offers to handle distribution, securing high profits and protection for Kaoru's shop.

The shop's owner, Count Olam, attempts to exploit Kaoru by demanding half the profits and control over the business. Seeing through the count's intentions, Kaoru cleverly opens a temporary shop to circumvent his demands.

Kaoru outsmarts the count by relocating her main business to the temporary branch and reducing the original shop to a storage space and snack stand. This forces the count to sell the business back to her at a reasonable price, thwarting his plan to take control of her enterprise.

By the end of the episode, Kaoru faces new challenges as her business grows. She must meet the army's demand for more magic potions and navigate the difficulties of running a successful enterprise. Despite her desire for a simple life, Kaoru becomes increasingly entangled in the city's affairs and business intrigues.
