29 – Customers visiting the Alchemy Shop (1)

The grand journey of the splendid Academy Festival has come to an end.

The professors, who had been taking a break for the first time in a while, went back to research and lectures, and the students all returned to their studies, leaving behind the three dream-like days.

The heat that had been hot in the Colosseum was slowly cooling down as if ice had been put on it when the festival was over.

I, who received the attention of the former academy people by winning the tournament, did not change much compared to before.

Go to class and sleep as usual.

I went to work at the alchemy shop and made magic tools.

It was a repetition of the life pattern I had been following before the festival.

There was a gate exploration that Professor Bluecliffe had suggested, but it still had about four days to spare.

Nevertheless, if I had to point out the things that had changed before and after the festival…

That there are a lot more people who recognize me.

Correspondingly, the number of people asking for autographs also increased.

And the treasure received as a winning prize.

Wearing [Tarnhelm] every day.

“and. There is no real tea. right?”

“… huh.”

As I looked at myself in the mirror and looked at my appearance, Ruen nodded slightly.

transparent helmet.

As befits a helmet with the characteristic of ‘stealth’, [Tarnhelm] was invisible even when worn.

In the mirror, my hair was completely exposed, as if I hadn’t worn anything on it.

However, no matter what anyone says, the biggest advantage of [Tarnhelm] is ‘wearing it as if you haven’t worn it’.

Although it is obviously a helmet-like armor, when you tap your head after wearing it, you can only feel the touch of your head.

So it’s not a defense?

However, when an attack containing magical energy is directed at the head, the helmet transforms and starts defending.

In other words, it is an armor that is silent against normal attacks, but responds reliably to magic attacks.

Considering that all monsters’ attacks contain a small amount of magic, it could be seen as a very effective defense against monsters.

“… Are you that good?”

At that moment, a gasp came out of my mouth.

It was because while excitedly looking around in front of the mirror, a cold question came from Ruen’s mouth.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an artifact, so I didn’t pay attention to Ruen who was with me.

I took off my helmet with an awkward expression.

“sorry. Would you like to try it too… ?”

dory dory.

Ruen shook his head slightly and expressed his intention of refusal.

Certainly, unlike Shunika, Luen didn’t seem to be very interested in these magic items.

As soon as Schnika saw [Tarnhelm], she made a bigger fuss than me and made a fuss.

He said that he wanted to use it too, and that he would use it, so he told him to quickly attack himself with magic.

It has always been a similar pattern.

Shunica was always interested in the magic tools I made, but Luen always touched them a few times as if she was curious, but didn’t make any special gestures.

Is it because he is greedy for the study of magic he is studying?

Rather than being interested in objects with magical effects, Ruen seemed to want to focus on developing her own magic skills.

“When will Shunika come? I am hungry.”

this evening.

The three of us gathered at the alchemy shop when Schnika said she wanted to eat lunch at my alchemy shop.

However, Schnika, who gathered us all together and brought us lunch, suddenly disappeared, saying that she had an urgent business at the school.

They told us to eat first, but that sounds like a word.

It makes sense to eat together.

Seeing me lying on the counter and snapping my fingers, Ruen said.

“… Hungry Sacher.”

“Louen. Don’t push anything weird. Why do you keep changing the front words?”

Ruen seems to have become more talkative after the festival.

For some reason, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was pushing a buzzword.

After exchanging useless jokes with Ruen, the door of the alchemy shop opened before I knew it.

with my daughter-

Schunika is finally here!

Thinking so, I turned my head, but it was an unexpected group of people who entered the store.

“uh? Princess?”

Blonde hair in long twin tails that reached her waist.

Sharp cat eyes and a well-placed body.

At a glance, you can feel the elegance of the old-fashioned atmosphere.

Even the black ribbon in the middle of the school uniform that tells you that you are a sophomore.

It was Tirfe’s second princess, Lenia Tirfe, who had visited the shop before.

Next to him was an aide named Urcellu, who always followed him, and a woman who seemed to have come with him…

“Ariel Tyrphe?!”

It was the genius alchemist born of the era, Ariel Tirfe.

I got up from my seat in surprise at the sudden appearance of a giant.

Ruen, who was next to her, also had her eyes slightly widened, and she seemed surprised to meet a celebrity from the continent.

Seeing us like that, Ariel stroked her red hair and smiled enchantingly.

“oh. do you know me?”

“and… of course. He is the most famous among young alchemists.”

Ariel’s portrait is as famous as her name, so I remember seeing her face in the newspaper a few times.

He is also a character who often appears in the [Record Sujeonggu] that professors use as lecture materials.

After all, it was an object of envy for those who studied alchemy, and a star that longed to reach next to it.

… I’m not saying I respect that much.

But suddenly, another princess, Lenia, who had been silent, became angry like a fire.

“profit… you! You didn’t know when you first saw me, but how does your sister know!”

sorry about that, hey

In fact, if she had been a little interested in world affairs, she would have recognized who Rhenia was right away.

Just like Ariel, the first princess, Renia, the second princess, is also a person whose face is often shown in the newspapers.

But strangely, I didn’t remember Rhenia, perhaps because I only read articles related to alchemy.

2 Is it because she is a princess?

I wanted to explain, but I couldn’t think of a good reason, so I was in trouble.

Seeing me like that, Ariel smiled and helped me.

“Stop it, Lenia. After all, we are customers who came to buy things.”

“Ugh… .”

Lenia, who was like a moth, quickly calmed down at her sister’s words.

Thanks to that, the embarrassing situation was averted, but Ariel’s backstory bothered me.

I came to buy something.

In other words, it means that the magic tool of the Alchemy Shop has something to look for.

And unfortunately, it was a time when it was impossible to purchase magic tools.

I spoke quickly before they were further disappointed.

“excuse me… what to do The alchemy shop closes at 9:00, so it’s not open. I have something to look at right now, so I have it open for a while.”

Ariel’s expression was filled with regret for a moment, but she quickly regained her smile and said.

“It’s okay! It’s a vacation, so I have a lot of time. By any chance, when you come tomorrow, could you take out a few magic tools Sacher-kun made? I really want to do some research. I’ll double the price.”

It was a proposal that Lenia had made the other day.

How could the sisters do the same thing?

But unlike then, I answered with a bright sales smile.

“Sure. We will prepare everything you want.”

“hey! I said no! what… !”

Renia’s voice of regret came from the side.

Looking at her like that, I scratched my head.

“Is it like you… It’s Ariel-sama, Ariel-sama. It’s to the extent that I have to pay for it and give it a review… .”

“Put-”

Ariel burst into laughter as if she was having fun at Lenia and I.

Although I made an excuse for Lenia, I wanted to somehow open up a relationship with Ariel.

Ariel Tyrpe, one of the continent’s most famous alchemists.

It was because I had an instinctive intuition that if I built up a network with her, who is called a genius born of the times, it would help my business someday.

Besides, as an alchemist, when I get to know her, there are many things I want to ask.

“I really enjoyed the Colosseum match. No matter how genius he is, isn’t it too much of a foul to know how to use a golem?”

Ariel took a chair in the corner and sat down, as if she wanted to talk a little more.

I looked at Ruen for a while and asked if it would be okay to stay with him.

Fortunately, she also nodded obediently.

As long as Shunika didn’t arrive, he didn’t seem to care much about who he was with.

“I was lucky. In particular, the final opponent was a ruthless monster. Even after being attacked like that, he keeps getting up like a tumbler… I thought I would die of exhaustion while dealing with him.”

“Ahahahaha. You mean Polgram’s child? He said he did well. Who would have known that at that age you would be able to wield the ‘Sword of Momentum’?”

“So… .”

As I was exchanging stories with Ariel, I suddenly noticed her red hair.

A passionate color that contrasts with her younger sister Renia’s brilliant blonde hair.

I know that the royal family of Tyrpe Kingdom has been blonde for generations, so it seemed that Ariel had used the reagent.

The dye that an alchemist makes from reagents has a long-lasting effect and is sure to work.

From as short as one day to as long as one month.

If the skill of the alchemist who produced it was excellent and the production rate was perfect, it was possible to change the color of the hair almost permanently.

I don’t know when exactly, but since Ariel started making a name for herself, she’s always had red hair.

The color of her hair that I had seen in the newspaper or in the record book was imprinted in my mind like a trademark.

The familiar appearance of dyeing, I felt welcome without knowing.

“Sachere-kun, have you ever thought about what you will do after graduation?”

Then Ariel came up with this question.

Upon graduation, students at the academy decide on their career path in a variety of ways.

Entering a research institute and stepping on the path of a professor, receiving a salary and being hired by the empire, working as an adventurer and exploring dungeons…

There were even quite a few people who were engaged in a completely different industry from the warrior’s job.

And most of the undergraduate students in the Faculty of Alchemy preferred going to academic societies or going to research institutes.

Unlike knights and wizards, it is not easy for an alchemist to establish himself as an individual.

There were not one or two alchemists who opened an alchemy shop trusting only in their alchemy skills, but then disgraced themselves while carrying only debts.

I shook my head lightly and answered.

“I have no idea yet. I’m in my second year, and I’m really busy these days.”

“Huh… Do you have any plans to join the Alchemy Society?”

Pension Society.

As soon as I heard those words, I knew what Ariel wanted.

I guess I liked her more than I thought.

What do you plan to do after graduation, and do you have any thoughts about the Alchemy Society?

Judging from that question, it seemed that Ariel wanted to invite me to the Tirpe Alchemy Society.

I scratched my head in embarrassment.

“Yes, what… I don’t have a big idea yet. Still, if I get a chance, I really want to visit the Tirpe Alchemy Society.”

“what? Ahahahahaha.”

As I jumped and said, Ariel burst into a delightful laugh.

Then he asked me with a shy expression.

“… Did you show off a lot?”

“Yes, a little… .”

Somehow, this part made me think that the sisters resemble each other.
