Chapter 45 – How Much! All It Takes!(3)

A dull gray building.

Even in the middle of the day, it is very uncomfortable to give off a strangely dark atmosphere.

As a workshop to attract people and promote oneself to win sponsorship, the appearance itself is flawed. However….

‘Fay Jarnshard’s Workshop’

A half-rusted nameplate told us that this was our destination.

“Master? Are you really right here? Even though it’s District 4, what kind of slum-like atmosphere does it give off inside the academy?”

“I have a little problem. Should I say I was kicked out, not just kicked out….”

“Does it smell like copper copper?”

“It’s the smell of all alchemy workshops. There are also odors that are not normally smelled by installing a deodorizing magic tool.”

“Yeah… Master. It’s not like I won’t abide by Master’s decision or anything like that… Are you really okay here? I don’t know what the master wants to request, but do I really have to do it here?”

“Hey. Don’t worry. Because it’s really okay And I didn’t come here to ask for a commission, I came here to support it.”

Carla nodded her head as if she understood only then.

“Aha. You’re here to get support. What? He said that he would definitely receive support from the Church of the Righteous Light… Oh, are there any priests volunteering here?”

Although she seemed to have misunderstood it a little.

After staring at Karla’s eyes for a moment as she was spinning in her escape from reality, she stretched her cheeks straight out on both sides of her.

“Huh!”

Carla, who was unable to do this or that, and only her arms patted, continued her words while trampling her cheeks with her random thoughts.

“I didn’t come to get support, I came to support. I, with my money, will support the owner here and sign an exclusive contract.”

“Why, why are you throwing money away?! It’s not usually a problem for an academy student, especially a class A student, to be stuck in a corner like this! It’s just good skills, but it could be a bunch of flaws in everything else!”

“Well, that’s not wrong.”

Faye’s situation is not good. Would he even go so far as to commit suicide if left alone?

“But it’s a problem that can be solved with money.”

With better and special materials, Fay is able to freely do the research she wants to do, and overcomes all problems only with results.

But since I can’t tell you that I know of such a future, all I can say is what caused Faye to end up like this.

“Don’t be so. It’s like a king.”

“Yes?”

“It’s not my problem, it’s because I was bullied by the people around me.”

“… There’s no way the academy would have allowed that to happen.”

“Usually it is. But it was just to the point where I wouldn’t fall for the school rules.”

They don’t play together, or treat people who don’t exist on purpose, or something like that.

It wasn’t like calling them somewhere obscure and beating them up.

Carla tilted her head as if she still didn’t understand.

Her frankly a little annoying, so I just grabbed Karla’s easy-baby butt hard.

Kwak.

“Hee!”

“Anyway, since you knew it wasn’t your problem, okay? Let’s go in now.”

“Yes, yes… Uh… Master? Even though there are no people around, it’s a little bit like this outside….”

“So you’re saying I touched something I couldn’t touch?!”

Carla hurriedly shook her head when I pressed her in a moderately master-servant relationship.

“Oh no! It’s not like that! If the master wants to touch you, you have to touch it anytime, anywhere!”

“Okay?”

“Yes! It wasn’t that I wanted to disobey my master, it was just that I was worried! I am your faithful slave!”

As if to foretell what she would say next, Carla raised both of her hands and gently bent them near her chest.

The moment she’s about to say her last words in a pose as if she’s mimicking her puppy.

Squeak!

“Cow, guest? You are a guest… ? Uh, come on in…… Yo. This?”

Did she feel popular? The tightly closed door opened, and the owner of the studio appeared and froze at us.

A pretty attendant in a doggie pose, and I kneading the attendant’s ass like rice cakes.

And Carla’s last line, which continues unwaveringly in this situation.

“Woof woof!”

Workshop owner… Fay’s face twisted strangely.

Hey. You didn’t get caught trying to play outdoors, so let go of your expression.

***

“D, come in. The floor is a bit messy, so watch your feet… Oh, in case you feel uncomfortable with half words… Yo. This? I’m my senior, but it’s only one year, so if you don’t like it, I’ll quit… Yo. This.”

“It’s okay. Call me whatever you feel comfortable with, senior.”

“Huh… Senpai… Called me senior….”

After clearing up some misunderstandings caused by her bad timing, Fay let out a strangely eerie laugh and led me and Karla into the workshop.

It’s not just sarcastic or anything like that. It’s just that Faye’s laugh itself is strange.

In fact, what bothered me more than that was that the floor was a little dizzy.

From junk piled up tightly, to an unknown lump of iron, and even a potion that glows in a dangerous color.

A little dizzy bitch. It’s to the point where you can’t even step on it.

As I and Karla carefully lifted her toes while walking, I arrived at the center of the workshop before I knew it.

Is it still the right place for people to live? The surroundings are still dirty, but the empty space in the center is generous.

Dim lighting. Unknown objects scattered around. And even the bubbling cauldron with a stench behind it.

It’s more like a witch’s house from an old story than an alchemist’s workshop….

As if she was used to it, Faye pushed her feet away from things around her and sat down in front of us.

Unlike until now, when there was no circumstance, it was only then that I was able to calmly examine Fay’s appearance.

Even considering that she is sitting, she is very short. But her breasts are too large for her height.

She wasn’t curly, but her ill-maintained hair hung down to her hips like a disheveled dog’s hair.

She couldn’t bear to meet her eyes from a while ago, and her eyes were spinning round and round, and even the side she was looking at felt dizzy because of the thick glasses draped over her nose.

Okay.

Fay Jarnshard was such a guy.

She was always vivid in her mind, but it was somehow welcome to have the real thing in front of her.

A half dwarf born to dwarves who lived a life of breaking an enemy’s skull with a hammer or striking iron.

I must be willing to say that the tall height that reached my stomach is of Dwarven bloodline, and that chest that looks bigger than Karla’s is probably a manifestation of human bloodline.

Usually dwarves are flat to the level of a cliff.

It was said that she was out of the way among the dwarves because she was of mixed blood since childhood, because she chose the path of an alchemist rather than a warrior or a blacksmith.

It wasn’t even about making ordinary potions or special materials.

Because Faye wanted to make weapons with her alchemy.

Just as she poured molten iron into a mold and cast it into the desired shape, she intended to cast everything with alchemy.

If I had made something like alchemy steel or a metal solvent, the dwarves would have welcomed it.

However, the idea of ​​making a finished weapon was enough to become a heresy among the Dwarves who considered hammering sacred.

Because of that, I was bullied since childhood.

Of course, it wasn’t that the dwarves abused Fay or anything like that. Because I took care of the basics properly.

It was just that I was treated like a non-existent person.

I think that alone was enough for Fay to grow into the gloomy personality she is now.

Anyway, in such a situation, Fay was even more digging into her alchemy. She somehow assumed that if she produced results, she would be recognized for it.

She succeeded in entering the academy by far, but… She ends up getting stuck here.

The path Faye is going to take is a completely new path, and in order to pioneer it, countless trials and errors are required, and those trials and errors cost money.

But she can’t get any support from her family. She tries to get sponsored but she can’t speak properly because she hasn’t spoken to anyone in so long.

Even the results of alchemy that had not yet reached the right track were subtle, and she was even ostracized in A class, which had a high proportion of dwarves, just like her hometown.

As you can see from the workshop’s tail, Fei refused even the attendant assigned to her by her academy, which is like a last-ditch effort.

In order to change everything of her own and focus on her alchemy at the end of her life, she removed everything that hindered her from her surroundings.

Perhaps she left the dormitory unattended and was confined to the studio.

But even so, Fay can’t even properly grasp the clues of her research.

Realizing that she would only slowly wither and die, Fei, pessimistic about her situation, took her own life… It won’t be like that anymore.

Because I am.

She fell into sentimentality for a while, maybe it was because she had been staring at her Fay without saying anything for a long time.

Perhaps she considered this as a haste, but even as Faye hesitated, she struggled to open her mouth.

“Bah, nice to meet you. I’m Faye… It’s Fay Jarnshard. Huh, what’s her name for juniors… ?”

Eyes that move busily from side to side but never meet. Her wiggling fingers that she couldn’t let go for a second.

How nervous are you when you can barely say hello?

I smiled and confirmed gacha… No, she nodded lightly at her fae.

“I am Yandel. Nice to meet you, senior.”

“Ugh, ugh!”

Then she hurriedly nodded her head. However, she bowed her head because the momentum was too much….

Surprisingly, at barely this far, her fat breasts pressed against her own knees.

Molang.

Boobs sticking out and twisting around.

Not to mention her school uniform, she would have covered her body once more with a loose robe, but such a move.

As I stared at her in awe, not long after, her eyes met Faye who lifted her head.

“Ah, well….”

Fei hurriedly lifted her upper body and tightened her collar.

But does she know Her chest was shaking wildly as she lifted it up in haste.

That’s awesome.

The moving real thing, not the still illustration, was amazing beyond my imagination.

But I can’t just look at my chest like this. Excuse me too.

Pretending it was nothing, he cleared her throat and got right to the point.

“Hmmmm. You may be wondering why I came to see Fei from the first day of class. This isn’t a place you just happen to find.”

“Uh? Yes! Right. Ho, in case you ask me… Do you want to give it up? I know how to make pretty much anything. Potions, ingredients, catalysts, bombs… What, say anything!”

It was a trustworthy gesture and Fei pounded on her chest.

Every time that happened, there was a wave that was so violent that it couldn’t be compared to the moment before… Maybe I wasn’t aware of this, but I’m just looking into my eyes.

He calmly shook his head at Faye.

“No. I didn’t come today to ask for a simple request.”

“… Uh? Then.”

“Yes. Alchemy brewing that seniors aim for. I am interested in that.”

“Oh, really?”

“Really. Could it be fake?”

“Wow… ! Then, would you like to listen to it? As for the principle….”

Fei’s face brightens up.

He still can’t meet my gaze properly, but he glances at me and tells me unsolicited stories.

I haven’t even brought up the story of sponsorship yet, but this is it.

How hungry are you for attention? .

It was only after waiting for a moment until Fay’s reaction, which even felt sorrowful, calmed down, that he continued.

“Interesting. I felt the potential in my senior’s research.”

“That, is it? Ehehe… It’s the first time I’ve heard that….”

I guess so. To be honest, I was so excited that I couldn’t understand what he was talking about because I was just talking myself.

It’s not simply because of my lack of knowledge in alchemy, seeing that even Karl, who was next to me, tilted his head, it’s clear that Fei was just babbling about her words.

Of course, I’ll have to pretend that I know enough now.

“That’s why I thought I’d give you some support.”

“After, sponsor… !”

“The amount is 300 gold per month. If it’s not enough, I can give you more if there’s a good reason.”

“300 gold every month?! More there?!”

Was it an unusual amount? Faye, who had become calmer, looked this way with her suspicious eyes.

I have no doubt about it.

Sponsorship is usually a few tens of gold every month and additional support like this.

In times like these, it is better to show it once than to explain it in detail.

I took out 300 gold from my inventory.

Charleuk-

A golden wave spilled on the floor.

“Huh… !”

She added a supplementary explanation to Fei, who took a deep breath and looked at her teeth.

“Unlike other sponsors, there is no support such as being able to buy materials cheaply or lending alchemy books for free. ‘Cause all I have is money … Still, is this enough?”

“… Yes! Yes! That’s enough! With this, you can buy all the new-style alchemy furnaces, mana refining kits, and various rare minerals! Are you really supporting me? How much money?”

“Sure. But there are conditions.”

“Condition… ?”

Fei looked at me as if she was uneasy at the word condition.

He shrugged his shoulders and replied as if it was nothing.

“Please be my exclusive. And if there is something I want, you have to listen to it first.”

“… Exclusive?”

No matter how much money a person is in need of money, do they have to be cautious about the word exclusive?

For the first time, Fei stares at me without avoiding my gaze.

Then, she turned her head to Carla, who was next to me, and trembled in an instant.

“That, so… I mean, you have to listen to what your juniors want… ?”

“Yes. Do not worry. I won’t ask you that drastically.”

I’m not going to make you do something ridiculous like make a Philosopher’s Stone in 3 days.

Of course it will be possible someday, but that’s not the case now.

As if pondering for a moment, Fei lowered her head and took a posture as if looking at her chest.

In that state, she glanced at me, then closed her eyes as if she had made up her mind.

“Mi, sorry! I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it! That… I think this is a bit… !”

What?

Why did you get rejected?
