Chapter 567 – IF I Am Alone in Another World 53

Squeak – The door to the holding cell opened, and the guard called the name of the man inside.

“… Mr. Dojin. Please come out.”

“Uh, already?”

“The investigation has been completed. There are no charges against Dojin.”

The security guard said that and told Do-jin that he could go home. Do-jin, who heard those words, had already become attached, but walked out of the detention center sighing as if he was very disappointed.

Looking at him like this, he only appears to be a harmless young man, but the security guard at the scene knew how terrifying this man was.

The Hound Dog gang members say that it is not their job to kill even one person. The sight of them all being cut off and suppressed. Who would believe that all that happened was caused by just one person?

‘So this is a special adventurer…? …’

I’ve heard a lot about special adventurers, but they were truly like biological weapons that surpassed humans.

While looking at Do-jin leaving with fearful eyes, Do-jin, who casually ignored the gaze, stopped when he saw the three women waiting for him in front of the security guard.

“What’s going on?”

“… You idiot. “Fuck this.”

“Tofu? “Is there a culture like this here too?”

Do-jin looked at the tofu that Sa-yeong handed over and let out a small exclamation of admiration at the fact that the Earth culture exists in this world as well.

Sayoung, who heard the story, tilted her head and answered, as if wondering what kind of nonsense she was talking about.

“Tofu? Is it slime? “I’m giving it to you to tell you to eat it and wash away all the impurities inside.”

“… Ah. “It was slime.”

Only then did Do-jin realize that the tofu was greener than expected, so she tried to figure out how to eat it.

Sayoung wouldn’t have given her something she couldn’t eat, so Dojin, who trusted her, closed her eyes and swallowed her slime in one mouthful. The squishy texture filled her mouth.

Sayoung, who saw Dojin swallowing slime with a frown on her face, burst out laughing and looked at him.

“Now you’re screwed.”

“… Why?”

“You’ll find out later.”

Leaving behind Sayoung, who left ominous words, Dojin looked at Orion and Noah standing behind him.

Of course, Raije was not here.

“What about Rise?”

“Rize went because he was busy researching magic. It’s obvious he’s innocent anyway, so why should he be here? …”

“No, Noah, who is not a party member, also came to visit…”

Noah, who was standing behind Orion, hesitated and stepped forward while muttering that something like a human mind would have come out as INTP if an MBTI test had been done on Earth.

“Uh, uh-! Dojin! I was so sorry!”

“Huh? “What?”

“Because of me, they were misunderstood and locked up in a detention center, or they couldn’t give me medicine on time…”

“Ah, it’s okay. How could you possibly predict that a robber would unluckily come to your house that day?”

“Yeah, but… Ah! This is the medicine I was promised!”

Noah, who felt sorry for not being able to keep his promise and for having been imprisoned in the security guard because of him, gave Do-jin the medicine he had requested.

Do-jin, who was handed the medicine, glared at it with a shocked expression. This is because I clearly saw with my own eyes how the members of the Hound Dog organization changed after taking this drug.

“… “This is fine, right?”

“Yes? Of course, it’s fine. I made it as you ordered…”

“No, but why is it like that…” …”

Dojin explained what he had seen to Noah, who was puzzled. It is said that the members of the organization who ate this not only possessed strength that surpasses that of humans, but also became immortal even when their torsos were cut in half.

After hearing the practical use case of a drug that at first glance seemed like it was not a potion, but something like a drug that turns you into a zombie, Noah let out an exclamation as if he had roughly figured it out.

“Ah-! That’s because I made this potion just for Dojin!”

“For my use only?”

“Yes! Dojin is a top adventurer, right? That’s because my vitality and stamina are strong… “Ordinary potions cannot treat all injuries.”

Dojin has long since surpassed human limitations. The uniqueness of coming from Earth and blooming in another world made Dojin into a superhuman commonly known on Earth, like Captain America or the Winter Soldier.

Of course, it was also natural that the existing potions did not work properly on Dojin. Because medicine used for children cannot work the same way on adults.

Therefore, Noah created a potion containing an excessive amount of vitality just for Dojin. An item comparable to an elixir that only appears in mythology…

“A strong person like Dojin may only have the ability to recover from injuries – but when ordinary people drink it, the overflowing vitality will forcibly increase their physical capabilities.”

“Raise your physical abilities…”

“Yes. It’s not a good thing. The power created by medicine… “Not only will it disappear the moment the drug’s effectiveness runs out, but the rebound will be so strong that your body will not be able to withstand it.”

Do-jin, who heard those words, remembered the gang members who were crawling on his arms while dragging his organs. A persistent vitality that was not even permitted to die.

However, that is only a temporary phenomenon caused by medicine. The moment the effectiveness of the medicine runs out, they will have to pay the price they had put off.

“So even if I take this medicine, it won’t be like that?”

“Yes! Of course! There’s no way I made it without even thinking about such simple side effects!”

I’m a genius! Seeing Noah snorting and looking proud, Dojin took the potion in his arms as if he understood. And one more thing.

“—Don’t tell others that you know how to make this.”

“… “It has to be that way, right?”

“Okay. This is definitely a new drug that can save people… At the same time, it is a poison that kills you.”

An elixir that turns ordinary people into immortal superhumans just by consuming it.

There will be no one in power who does not want this.

Everyone will be reaching out to get their hands on it.

And one of the supreme and immutable truths handed down from ancient times. If you do not have the strength to protect your treasure, it will definitely be stolen. Noah will be robbed of the recipe, or he will be killed to prevent it from being shared with others.

“Luckily, the only people who know the identity of that medicine right now are me, my kids, and you and Master. Even those who fell down may know about medicine… If you do as you say, they will never open their eyes.”

The gang members were subdued by having their limbs cut by Dojin. They survived until the end and were arrested, and although their injuries were said to be treated with the help of the church, that only put their lives on the line for now.

Those who recklessly use their drug-enhanced bodies will never be able to open their eyes. Even if it looks fine on the outside, it is probably already damaged on the inside.

“If you don’t tell anyone else, I can protect you. But if you tell others…”

“… I’m dying. Is that right?”

“At least it won’t look good.”

Upon hearing that, Noah smiled brightly as if he had no choice.

“Well, it’s a shame that I can’t leave my name in history… Still, I made this myself! I want to make more things in the future… “I will refrain from announcing this.”

“─Well thought out.”

“Should I say instead, what should I say – over there, I mean.”

Noah kept glancing at Dojin as if he didn’t feel comfortable saying anything. Do-jin, who saw her gaze, read her thoughts and then tilted her head as if he knew what she was going to say.

“Please continue to take good care of me in the future. Is this it?”

“—Yes! That’s right! Please continue to look after us!”

“Please take care of me too.”

Do-jin, who promised to give her money and materials and entrust her with her requests in the future, shook Noah’s hand lightly. Trying to ignore the hot gaze coming from behind.

She focused on the fact that she had a deep connection with a genius alchemist.

Because she will definitely become a necessary talent in the future.

* * *

“—I delivered it. Then, please take care of me.”

“Oh, yes. Goodbye.”

The magic tower’s apprentice wizard nodded her head. The security guard, who was slightly frowning at his careless attitude, immediately left the position as if he had done his job.

The apprentice wizard who received the items wrote down a list on paper and identified the characteristics of the items one by one. His job was to investigate what kind of magic was in effect and what dangers there were.

It was in the meantime.

“What are these-?”

“Uh-ka, Kafuu-sama!?”

“Is there anything fun?”

The apprentice wizard was astonished when he saw Kahuu, a wizard of a higher rank than himself – that is, a 5th rank wizard. Now he was so high that he, who was barely purple, could not even make eye contact.

The apprentice wizard immediately lowered his head and instead of answering, handed over the list he had been writing. Kafuu, who was handed the list, skimmed through the contents and threw the paper away as if there was nothing interesting about it.

While the apprentice wizard was scrambling to grab the paper, Kahuu’s eyes turned to the cauldron and its solution stored in the back.

“… Huh? Huh? “What?”

Kahuu moved towards the cauldron, scooped up the solution with his finger, and put it in his mouth, looking down at the cauldron with amusement.

“─Is there something else like me?”

She scolded the apprentice wizard again as if she wanted to find out who sent this. That’s how she obtained the information that this item was obtained from the security guard, and that the guard obtained it from an organization called Hound Dog that dominated the back alleys.

To be exact, it was said to be an item made by a girl named Noah Mellie who was kidnapped by that organization.

“Hey-.”

All of Kahuu’s interest was focused on her.
It was a mixture of various things such as the desire to win, curiosity, and so on.
