Chapter 73 – Snow Ball (6)

Struggling with her limbs, she grabbed Fei by the ankle as she tried to escape and lifted her upside down.

It was white.

“Let go, let go! Let go of this… !”

“I can’t do that. I need to see where my senior spent all my money and whether it is really worthwhile to think about how to eat cheap black bread so that I can enjoy it.”

“If you’re going to say that, shouldn’t you at least look at my face?! You’ve been looking at your panties since before!”

“Your face is covered by her chest, so you can only see her eyes. And it’s instinct… Well….”

The eyebrows that I do not know are slightly frowning.

Fei, who had been screaming at this, asked in an anxious voice.

“What, what? Why are you looking at my panties and making such a serious face… ?!”

“Seniors. Um, you wash your panties properly, right?”

“…….”

“How come you’re a bit twisted….”

It’s not like it’s discolored or anything like that, it’s just a little bit kinky.

As I tilted her head, Faye, whose face was about to explode, began to tremble.

“Five….”

“Five?”

“Did you change your clothes today?! Would you like to smell it?!”

“Then excuse me for a moment.”

When she pretended to lower her head, Faye struggled in fright.

It flutters like a freshly caught fish.

“Crazy, crazy! Why do you really want to take on that!”

“The senior told me to take over.”

“That means it’s absurd! And how long will you be watching! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything I really bought! So let go now!”

“So what.”

I did it because I was angry for a while, but if you think about it calmly, it’s a bit of a dangerous situation right now.

When I let go slowly, Fei crawls away and runs into the corner, afraid to touch the floor.

Maybe it’s because she was once hung upside down, but her scattered hair and disheveled school uniform feel a bit pity.

Faye, who had now pulled down her skirt, glared at me and shot me.

“Your junior is a pervert! You’re a pervert to the point of being arrested if you report it!”

No, what should I do if I say such lines with the same appearance as now?

It’s kinda fun

“Keuk….”

Entrusting her body to the rising mischief, she raised the corner of her smirk.

“Report. If I get arrested, what are you going to do with your research?”

“Uh… ?”

“It is. Of course, I have no doubts that you will do it, but… Will anyone else do that?”

I made the meanest expression and voice I could, and approached Fay step by step.

“Hey! Bo, you showed your true colors… ! I recognized it from the time I played a puppy in front of the studio! After all, my body was the purpose?!”

“I do not know. It could be. Maybe not.”

Trudge trudge.

Distance getting closer. Anxiety begins to mix in Faye’s eyes whenever footsteps echo.

“There… Junior? Is this a joke? It’s a joke… ? Please do so… I’ve never had friends, so I’m weak at pranks and jokes like this….”

“Under! It’s no use trying to win my sympathy with those words now. I will take this opportunity to clearly tell you what I want from my seniors.”

Failing to manage it properly, she placed her hand on Faye’s bushy hair.

“Hey… ! Um, I believed… I trusted my junior… !”

He hadn’t said anything yet, but he guessed it and whispered softly to Fei, who was crying with a sense of betrayal.

“What I want from my seniors. That is the Philosopher’s Stone that my senior will make someday!”

“… Swimming?”

She smiled at Faye, who had a dazed expression, and said one more time.

“The Philosopher’s Stone, the Philosopher’s Stone. After all, isn’t the path that you pursue is the path of digging deep into change, one of the essences of alchemy?”

A level where you can make everything with just one alchemy? It’s like reaching the climax of change.

“So, surely if you reach the level you want, you can also make a Philosopher’s Stone?”

“Isn’t what you want too great?!”

As Fay said, the Philosopher’s Stone is not an ordinary item.

The process of obtaining that is not easy.

It’s a story in H&A, but the player had to go through all kinds of high-difficulty quests for Fay.

It was a special material that could only be obtained in a specific dungeon, or a Chimera sample that destroyed an ancient country much older than that, let alone a great war.

And finally, robbing the first great alchemist Paracelsus’ hidden workshop and handing over his research journal.

Maybe it’s because it’s a quest line where you can get the Philosopher’s Stone, the final item in the alchemy series, so it’s really tough for a production heroine’s quest.

Instead, the Philosopher’s Stone was worth all of this.

Fei, who had grown to the end, was worth more than that.

For a while, I was thinking of Fei’s tearful growth story I saw on Earth.

Faye, who had been staring blankly at me, cautiously opened her mouth.

“Brother… What is your junior….”

Feeling a little embarrassed by that confused gaze, I abruptly changed the subject.

“That’s why seniors need to take better care of themselves.”

“Yes?”

“Preparing equipment and buying materials? It’s good. But for just that reason, it’s difficult for a senior, a future great alchemist, not to be able to eat properly.”

“Heavy! Trust is heavy, junior. A great alchemist… I… ?”

“Yes. Are you not sure?”

“… Of course I believe my theory is feasible. But I’m not sure if that leads to the Grand Alchemist… Aren’t juniors learning magic thinking that they will become great wizards?”

“Do you think so?”

“?”

When I think of what I have to do in the future, the archmage is a level that I have to lay down as a basis.

Did you feel the sincerity from my calm reply? Faye sent her eyes as if she were looking at a madman.

That’s too much

With a bit of sadness, she patted the tip of Fay’s nose with her finger.

“Ah!”

“Where do you send such disrespectful glances at a benefactor like heaven? And don’t worry too much. Both me and my seniors will listen to the voices of the great wizard and the great alchemist before they graduate.”

“Before graduation… ? Isn’t that really unrealistic?!”

Fei is appalled at the sudden time limit. But I can’t help it. By that time, everything would have already reached an ending in one way or another.

Of course, I couldn’t tell you this, so I just shrugged and covered it moderately.

“It’s okay. If the senpai can’t become a great alchemist in the meantime and can’t make a philosopher’s stone… At that time, you can pay it back with your real body.”

“Huh, I guess that was the purpose from the beginning… !”

Fei puts on a refreshing expression as if she finally understands everything.

A. Even if it’s not really like that?

***

After a commotion.

In a slightly softened atmosphere, Fei’s new tools and materials. And she showed the results she made and started explaining how much it cost one by one.

I didn’t leave a separate receipt, so it’s hard to confirm… Still, the price matched the price in my memory, so I wouldn’t have lied.

To begin with, Faye wasn’t that kind of personality.

“After… I buy only what I really need, so I can’t say anything.”

“Is not it? Did I buy everything with a plan?”

“The problem is that Fei-senpai himself is not involved in the plan.”

“Oh….”

Faye gets wrinkled again. Seeing that, she let out a sigh that I don’t know how many times it’s been today.

“Ha… Anyway, I know she didn’t waste it. This time, I will give you extra living expenses separately.”

“Really?! I’m glad… At this rate, she might have had to eat at a restaurant….”

“…….”

What? Come to think of it, basic meals are provided free of charge by the academy, right?

Even the quality is known to be considerable.

The problem is that Fei is reluctant to go to crowded places, probably because she has been bullied for a long time.

I’ll take Fay to a restaurant later. You’ll get used to it after eating together a few times.

What if it still doesn’t work… You just have to pay extra for your living expenses.

… Saying this makes me feel like I’m feeding Fei. Monga monganey.

She shook her head and handed Faye the 20 gold she took out of her inventory.

This is enough to last until the next donation comes in.

Fei, who was looking at the glittering gold coins and making a haggard expression, warned Fei in a stern voice.

“Just in case, should I use all of that for Fei-senpai’s living expenses? It is said to eat proper food and use it to change clothes.”

“I’ve changed properly! … I got it though I will really use this only for myself.”

Fei nodded her head and took her gold into her arms.

In the process, she looked at her large bag of truth, which was naturally crushed, and she suddenly remembered what she was going to ask Fay for.

“Ah, that’s right, senior. As her sponsor, I have one favor to ask of you.”

“Yes? What is it, junior? Also, can I use the roots I made last time to make a supplementary potion?”

“In addition to that, I would like to ask for this as well.”

From the inventory, I took out the hidden pieces of the practice dungeon, the bleached magical herb, and Iona’s blood that I received this morning.

“…….”

Fei opened her mouth wide at the sight of the white grass spewing out unusual mana and the blood-colored beads giving off a magical atmosphere.

“Please make some elixir with these two.”

“Where else did you get this… ? It’s a whitened magical plant, and there’s nothing I can’t do to save it, but isn’t this the blood of a vampire? It seems to be at a considerable level among them….”

“Of course it’s Professor Iona’s true blood.”

“… Hey!”

Faye looks at him, wondering if he did something crazy again.

“Isn’t it like that? I just received it as compensation for this incident. It would be effective if you just eat it, but it would be better if you made it into an elixir, so I brought it to Fei-senpai.”

“Yes. I guess so. Couldn’t you have asked the professor how long it would take to sell blood?”

“…….”

The state of my image… ?

I narrowed my eyes and glared at Fay, but I quickly accepted the ingredients, as if I had been stabbed for no reason.

“Ah, whatever! Did you say elixir? Since I have the new equipment I bought this time, I should be able to make enough.”

“How long will it take?”

“Uh… One week? Magic herb is raw, but since essence is purified once, it seems easy to process.”

“Like. Then I’ll stop by again next weekend.”

“Yes! Leave it alone!”

Fei nodded with a happy expression as if she was happy to see the rare ingredient.

It’s perfect because next weekend is the last day of school holiday.

After that, I had a little small talk, and I parted ways with Faye towards the end of lunchtime.

Because Fay still had the next lecture left.

The dormitory that started with Iona, returned only after meeting Helena and Fay.

I’ll rest well today, and from tomorrow I’ll learn magic again from Karla.

There are more than one regret I felt while fighting Edmerek this time.

During the day, I practiced this and that in the private training room in my room, and at night, I lay down with Karla in bed for several days.

Before I knew it, the weekend I had promised with Fay had come.

Suddenly, the news that Sylvan Magic Tower was caught attempting to summon a spirit heated up the academy.

To be more precise, it was the news that Elisha, who was at the Sylvan Magic Tower, was also captured.

“I’ll turn.”

Does this happen like this?
