Chapter 555 – IF I Am Alone in Another World 41

Noah Mellie is an alchemist. To be exact, he is an alchemy apprentice. She helps the teacher by doing odd jobs and learning alchemy under him.

This is how the study of alchemy has developed. It’s something that can’t be helped. This is because the study of alchemy itself is a discipline that cannot help but offend the nerves of two organizations: the Church and the Magic Tower.

For daring to use the power of healing granted only to God, for trying to find out the truth of the world not through magic, but through alchemy that anyone can follow.

There were bound to be few alchemists.

What if there had been a power that could be called a miracle of God – a result that would come out regardless of what ingredients were used?

If that were the case, alchemy would have been able to benefit from the prosperity of the church. Even wizards would have turned off their interest, saying it was a miracle caused by the power of God.

‘Hehe, what do you want to learn today?’

However, even in such a persecuted situation, her talent blooms.

Even with insufficient knowledge, oppressed industries, and life-threatening conditions… It was impossible to stop the flower of genius from blooming.

“Noah. Open a store.”

“Oh, yes!”

After hearing her teacher’s orders, Noah immediately opened the store and prepared to welcome customers. Some people may ask who would use an alchemist’s shop, but more people than you think stop by the alchemist’s shop.

The poor who cannot receive overly expensive treatment from the church, those who complain of symptoms that are too shabby to rely on the church’s help, and those who cannot go to church for some reason, etc.

Noah’s teacher captured that niche market, and thanks to that, Noah was able to make a living just by running errands for his teacher.

Even as a joke, I wouldn’t say I was rich, but I had enough money to buy the ingredients needed for alchemy and eat two solid meals a day.

Jinglang-!

“Welcome! Enter Mellie’s defense…”

And at that time, Noah opened the store door and looked at the customer coming in and let out a hiccup.

A man I met while walking down the street not long ago was there. A man with a deadly spirit who must have killed more than ten people.

While she was sweating and sweating as she didn’t know what had brought her here, the man recognized Noah and slowly approached her.

“Over there-.”

“Yes, yes!”

“This is an alchemy shop, right?”

“Well, what are you doing that…”

Seeing Noah asking again, her voice shaking, Dojin immediately put her hand into his arms. Noah, who saw this, was startled and disappeared under the stand, while Do-jin threw away the bag he had taken out of his arms.

A bag full of gold coins fell in front of me. Upon seeing the sparkling gold coins, Noah’s eyes began to shake like crazy.

“Uh, uh-?”

“I’m here because I have a request to make. If that’s not enough, you can bring more.”

“Now, just a moment-.”

Noah, holding her pocket, went straight into the workshop. And then she ran straight to find her teacher. This was not a problem she could solve alone.

Fortunately, Master was writing a book and concentrating on research. This means that there was enough time to welcome the guest carrying a bag of gold coins.

“S-Master! Master! I’m in big trouble, big trouble!”

“What happened?”

“Guest, customer-!”

When Noah couldn’t continue her words and held out her bag of gold coins, the teacher, who roughly realized what was going on, followed Noah into the store.

The teacher fell into tears when he saw Do-jin waiting there. Like Noah, I didn’t feel the deadly force in him, but I saw his appearance.

“I heard you were looking for me.”

“Are you the owner of this workshop?”

“Yes. But before you speak, would you mind if I say something first?”

Dojin was now wearing his hood over his head. So, at first glance, it meant that the clothes were very suspicious, and in most cases, people came to places like this wearing such clothes.

For drugs.

Unfortunately, Noah and her mentor did not manufacture drugs. Even though it may be money, they know very well that it is something that will completely change their lives.

“We don’t make drugs. It doesn’t matter how much money you give, it’s the same thing. This store is so thoroughly regulated that it has to report regularly to the church and the provincial government every week. Even if I want to make it, I can’t.”

“… It’s okay. “What I’m asking you to make is not a drug.”

“Then that’s a relief. “Then may I ask what you want?”

The teacher smiled when told that it was not a drug. If it weren’t for the drugs, it was because he was a big man who had been visiting for a very long time.

But that smile didn’t last long.

“I need a potion. A potion that can instantly heal even if a limb is cut off or an organ is ripped out.”

“… Yes?”

“I wish there was a potion that would make the body stronger than steel. Oh, of course, it also includes the internal organs so that even under the skin is protected.”

Absurd spells that are impossible to create in modern times. Upon hearing the order, the teacher shook his head with a very disappointed expression.

“Sorry. I don’t think we can make something like that in our store. No, probably anywhere in this city…”

“Is it really not possible? You can get the ingredients here. Even if it is an ingredient for monsters that only comes from deep in the dungeon.”

“Still a little… Difficult, no. It’s impossible. “I am truly sorry.”

As the teacher rejected Dojin’s offer and returned the bag of gold coins to him, Noah tilted his head in puzzlement.

‘Huh? ‘No?’

If it were me… I think I can make it.

That thought passed through her mind.

Her eyes followed Do-jin as he left the store.

* * *

Do-jin, who was refused to make a potion at the workshop, left the store and wandered around the alley. I thought that if it didn’t work here, I could go to another store.

But his path was soon blocked. This is because the girl with pigtails who came out of the store where he had just been rejected grabbed his shoulder.

“Hey, sir! Now, wait a minute-!”

The girl, who was out of breath, screamed at Do-jin as soon as she finished catching her breath.

“That request just now! “Aren’t you planning on leaving it to me?”

When she let out her yelling, she realized too late that her voice was too loud. She was shocked and covered her mouth.

Do-jin, who was watching, looked at the girl and shrugged her shoulders.

“So? “What about that one?”

“Ah, ah-! Sorry! “My name is Noah Mellie, Master Mellie’s disciple!”

“Disciple?”

“Yes, yes! I’m not an official alchemist yet, I’m just an apprentice, but…”

Noah rolled his eyes randomly and avoided eye contact. She seemed very embarrassed to say that she was not an official alchemist, even though she had decided to take on the request.

Do-jin, who saw this, was silent for a moment and then asked carefully.

“You can make it, right?”

“You can talk comfortably… Because I’m still an apprentice…”

“Okay. So – you, the disciple, can do what even the teacher cannot do. Is this it?”

“… Yes.”

“You are superior to your teacher. Is that what you want to say?”

Despite Dojin’s direct question, Noah did not avoid her gaze and nodded her head. That confidence. Do-jin, who saw her childish confidence saying that her abilities were better than his teacher, burst into laughter.

There were a lot of people like this on Earth. Idiots who claim victory over old and sick people and say that they are better than their teachers.

Dumb people who do not know that it is not that they have become stronger than them, but that they have become physically weaker than them. It appears not only in arts and physical education, but also in all academic disciplines.

“─Can you prove it?”

“Yes?”

“Bring a bottle of the potion your master made. And make a potion with the same ingredients. “If you come up with something better, I’ll believe you.”

“Well, the money…”

“Originally, I would just ask you to bring it, but…”

Ting- Dojin took out a gold coin from his pocket and threw it. It was too much money to spend on two potions, but whatever. For Do-jin, it was just an amount of money that could be obtained with one or two swings of a knife.

It would have been more beneficial if I could become friends with someone who could grant my wishes for that amount of money.

“How long is the deadline?”

“Oh, tonight! Please come back to the workshop!”

“There’s less than half a day left.”

“That’s enough! “I will make it soon!”

Noah said and hid her face. Do-jin, who was watching her behind, adjusted her hood and walked out of the alley behind her.

Only time will tell whether what she said is true or whether it is a fraud by a young man blinded by gold.

Well, half a day wasn’t that long of a time. It’s time to go into the dungeon for a moment and come out.

Do-jin headed to the dungeon, thinking about wasting time.

* * *

That night.

Dojin arrived in front of the workshop covered in wounds.

Noah was shocked and scared when he saw Do-jin covered in blood.

“So, sir!? Yes, the wound… !”

“It’s okay because I did it on purpose. “Give me the potion.”

“Woah, here it is. This is what I made, and this is Master’s potion…”

Dojin, who was handed the potion bottle, observed it closely. After observing like this, I couldn’t confirm that she made this herself…

She decided to trust her own intuition for now. She didn’t think she was lying to herself.

Pong-! Dojin opened her potion bottle and poured the potion on my wound. With the sound of her flesh growing, the wound she had created on purpose began to regenerate quickly.

“Ho-.”

Do-jin exclaimed in exclamation as he looked at her scarred forearm. She found that the potion her teacher had made was surprisingly effective. This is much better than the unidentifiable objects wandering around on the streets.

And what about Noah’s potion, which shows that her own skills are better than her teacher’s? Dojin poured her potion into her wound, her anticipation blooming.

Chi-ik-! The same wound filled up, and in an instant, a new forearm without any scars was revealed.

‘Was it real?’

After a moment of admiration for the truth in Noah’s words, Noah carefully opens his mouth as he pours the potion into her forearm.

“Uh, over there…”

“Why?”

“My potion is a drinking potion… If you pour it in, the effect is halved…”

“… “What?”

“Hey, hey! Sorry, sorry! I should have told you in advance… !”

Dojin placed her frightened Noah behind her and looked at her and her forearms alternately. A potion that has a far more effective effect than my teacher’s just by pouring it in.

In fact, the effect was halved?

“Good. “I’ll leave it to you.”

“Yes, yes?”

“The potion I told you about. Let me know if you need anything. “I will save you.”

Dojin could not contain her excitement as she saw the bundle of talent shining before her eyes. This was a gem that had to be caught right away.
