Madman in a Fantasy World

137. Alchemist

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Morning. We were preparing to leave the Duchy. To be precise, the coachman’s side rather than us. While the coachman was preparing, Duke and Richie were talking at the entrance of the mansion.

Next to Duke was not the butler I saw yesterday, but the butler holding Richie’s hand and crying profusely. That butler must be the butler who is said to be one of Riche’s only allies.

“It’s fine?”

“…Yes. It’s okay now.”

It’s such a big deal that it happened overnight. Because the head of one of the duchy’s pillars of the empire has been replaced, and someone’s father has died.

“What about your sister?”

“I think Karol still needs more time.”

“I see… I wanted to say hello before I left.”

Liche, who is talking to Duke, wakes up after a night of sleep and looks pretty good. Sleep is also great.

“Take care of yourself. And if you have time, drop by the mansion sometimes.”

“Yeah. I’ll stop by when I get close.”

After that short goodbye, Duke came over to say hello to us as well. Even though I killed Gerald, the other person was fully prepared to do the same anyway. Duke was not so immature that he couldn’t tell the difference between public and private affairs.

“The conversation we had yesterday… I’ll be sure to ask.”

What conversation did you have yesterday? Were the flowers pretty?

···I don’t know. I just have to say I knew

“Uh… Um… Ng.”

So we got into the carriage and left the Duchy of Winchester.

***

No matter how good the wagon was, the riding comfort was not good. After living in a carriage for a week, he might get used to it, but that’s not the case at all. I guess I’m not a carriage person.

‘I have to raise the kids quickly and teleport or something.’

I stretched out to relieve my aching body.

“Where are you going now?”

“Adventurer’s Guild.”

“I just arrived…?”

“You played all the way.”

If I had just returned from work, I would go straight to my dorm and sleep. We’ve been playing in the wagon for a week, so we’ll go to work right away.

“If you want to rest, it doesn’t matter if I go alone, right?”

“… No. It looks like it will be abandoned, so I want to go with you.”

“Sure.”

We moved our feet busier.

Arriving at the Adventurer’s Guild like that, I saw a scene that made me feel deja vu.

“Again…”

At this point, isn’t that their main job? When something happens, we get together and talk. Wouldn’t it feel like a part-time job for a one-off bit role in a drama?

At least, the difference from usual is that today they are not buzzing at someone, but gathering in front of the request board.

Did someone leave a mess on the request board?

“Adela.”

“Ah, you’ve come just in time.”

“Yes?”

Adela was looking for me? Haven’t you ever had anything like this before?

“Have you missed me since I haven’t seen you in a week?”

Saying that, Adela’s expression instantly rotted. isn’t this

Adela raised her hand, still looking rotten. At the end of her fingertips, there were adventurers huddled in front of the request board.

“Do you see the adventurers gathered over there?”

“Ah. I was going to ask what was going on anyway. Someone said there was a request to subdue an S-class monster?”

“It’s not like that, but there’s something like that.”

If it’s similar to the subjugation of S-class monsters, shouldn’t you appoint an S-class adventurer instead of just requesting it from somewhere?

“There is a request from the Alchemist right there.”

“Are you the S-class adventurer Alchemist?”

“Yes. Just like that, Mr. Luke also needs a meeting with the Alchemist, right?”

Was there an event like this? In fact, Alchemist is a person I do not know. It didn’t come out until the end of the main story, so I thought it would come out in an extra episode.

The setting known as TMI is that he likes to travel and travels around the continent. So I thought it would be hard to meet, but I’m lucky.

“I’ll check it out and see what it is.”

“Yes.”

I posted something interesting. I headed to the request board. I told the adventurers who weren’t going to accept it and told them to stop, but at first they tried to take offense, but when they saw my face, they just fell for it.

Among the many quests, I looked for what was the Alchemist’s quest. It was stuck in the middle of the bulletin board on top of other request forms.

──────────────────

request!

Looking for an assistant to help me!

We need a very strong man!

Difficulty unknown!

Conservative Transformation Potion!

I’ll pick you up at the Adventurer’s Guild at noon in a week, so you just have to wait!

Posted by Alchemist.

A form that roughly resembles a pen scribbled on paper. A small picture of a rabbit was also drawn on the lower right.

“Is this a request…?”

“Luke, was this kind of personality in the novel you read…?”

“I don’t know. The Alchemist didn’t come out.”

If there’s one thing that’s for sure, it’s that he has a more distinct personality than any other S-class adventurer I’ve seen. It is also a great ability to be able to infer a person’s personality just by looking at the text.

“Looking at this, I can see why the adventurers were just watching.”

“I didn’t just watch it, I couldn’t help but watch it.”

The contents of the request are also unclear, and it is unclear exactly how much skill is required. Besides, it’s a request from the Alchemist, but it’s written that the level of difficulty is unknown, so it’s like going to suicide with mediocre skills.

Besides, the biggest problem is.

“What is a transformation potion?”

“Well…? I don’t know either.”

Even if I say I don’t know, except for the things from the novel, isn’t that enough to say that Richie, a person from this world, doesn’t know?

It’s all about making money, but there’s no reward, and since some transformation potions are written as rewards, no one thinks of taking them.

But the problem is, I have business with the Alchemist.

“Can’t I just get a letter of recommendation without doing this?”

“No matter how young you are, you’re not that stupid…”

If you just ask for a letter of recommendation, it’s obvious that he will write one if you help him. If there is something going, there must be something coming.

“Ah, wash it.”

I had no choice but to snatch the request. I went straight to Adela and handed it over.

“Are you doing it?”

“yes.”

“Okay. We’ll take care of the request, so you just have to do what you have to do until a week in advance. You can do another request.”

“No, I’m taking a week off.”

You don’t know how much you’ll eat after a week, but you have to build up a rest stack in advance so you won’t regret it later.

***

A week later, the adventurer’s guild.

He said he would pick him up at midnight, so he was waiting at the Adventurer’s Guild about 5 minutes before midnight. Just in case Alchemist came first. but it wasn’t It looks like he’s trying to come right on time, but I wondered if he was using a teleport.

5 minutes passed like that. Let’s be 12 noon.

A small glowing magic circle appeared in the center of the adventurer’s guild, and soon a person appeared from there. Oh my god, what a miracle!

Skinny arms and legs, short stature, brown bobbed hair. A small girl who seemed to be about 150 cm tall ran to the reception desk.

Large, ill-fitting robes fluttered as she ran, flasks and vials rattled around her waist.

“Adela sister! Long time no see!”

“You saw it the other day when I came to attach the request form.”

“hehehe… It’s nice to see you though!”

The Alchemist stood on tiptoe in front of the reception desk and raised his hand. The stupid hair that sticks out in the middle of the head rustles. Adela caresses him as if he is cute. I know that Adela is also young, but judging from how she calls her unnie, she must be in her teens.

But the way she speaks and looks, the strange resemblance to Yui must be because of her mood. I looked down at Yui next to me. So, Yui tilted her head.

“Why is that?”

“nothing.”

I looked in the direction of the reception desk again.

“That’s right. Sister! Is there an adventurer who has received my request!”

“The person who received the request is behind.”

Poof, the Alchemist turned around and met our eyes. Then he ran over and said hello.

“Hello! My name is Amy! Thank you for accepting my request!”

“Hi. I’m Arthur.”

“Mr. Luke…”

When I tried to hide my name, Adela glared at me from afar.

“Actually, I’m Luke.”

“I see! Nice to meet you brother Luke!”

After that, Alchemist Amy greeted Luna and Richie in turn, and then greeted Yui. By the way.

“Yes?”

He said it was nice to meet him and grabbed Yui’s hand with both hands and suddenly made a questioning sound.

“Are you a vampire by any chance?”

“Yes? Yes…”

“Wow! I heard that all vampires are dead! If it’s not rude, may I take some blood!?”

“heheheuk…!”

Amy suddenly took out a syringe and suddenly changed her eyes, so Yui looked at me asking for help. They say Jammin’s enemy is Jammin, and that seems to be right. Amy’s eyes seemed to drain Yui’s blood until she became a mummy if left alone.

“Rather than that. What can we do to help?”

When I changed the subject, Amy let go of Yui’s hand as if she had forgotten. Then Yui quickly hid behind me.

“Ah! That’s right! Before that, please accept this!”

Amy passed a blue translucent gem into each of our hands.

“What is this?”

“It’s a transition stone! If you throw it on the floor, you can teleport to the pre-specified coordinates!”

Oh… was there such a thing? Why didn’t I know yet?

“Then I’ll go first, so you guys can follow right away!”

Saying that, Amy bowed to Adela and immediately threw the transition stone on the floor. Then, on the floor where the transfer stone was broken, a small magic circle glowed like when Amy came out, and Amy disappeared soon after.

“I haven’t even heard of any of the requests.”

Is it a jerk, or is it impatient? Anyway, I think we should go and listen to the request, so we took turns looking at each other for a while and threw the transition stone to the floor.

Then, like before, the magic circle shimmered, and when we came to our senses, we were in different places.

The first thing that caught my eye was a large square with a fountain. In the surroundings, there were buildings made of iron in a style that could not be seen in the empire.

“Where is here···?”

“Welcome! To Maquina, the country of magical engineering!”

The place we arrived was the dwarf city, Marquina.
