- [9][JPN][Prologue]
- [9][CHN][]
- [10][JPN][ ]
- [10][CHN][]
- [11][JPN][Dir Lifyna. The world born from the union of human industry and]
- [11][CHN][]
- [12][JPN][]
- [12][CHN][]
- [13][JPN][the works of gods.]
- [13][CHN][]
- [14][JPN][Using power and magic passed down through the ages, a growing]
- [14][CHN][]
- [15][JPN][city-state produces new inventions every day, desired by all.]
- [15][CHN][]
- [16][JPN][Located inland, far from trade routes, and surrounded by many]
- [16][CHN][]
- [17][JPN][different races, it was once a poor border city.]
- [17][CHN][]
- [18][JPN][But thanks to the hard work of its residents, it overcame its]
- [18][CHN][]
- [19][JPN][disadvantageous location.]
- [19][CHN][]
- [20][JPN][They learned to gather the sparse resources from the forests and]
- [20][CHN][]
- [21][JPN][ground, and mastered the art of excavating ancient ruins.]
- [21][CHN][]
- [22][JPN][Alchemists worked hard and it became a technological city, the]
- [22][CHN][]
- [23][JPN][likes of which had never been seen before.]
- [23][CHN][]
- [24][JPN][The name of this city is Yuidora.]
- [24][CHN][]
- [25][JPN][A city crowded with countless workshops that came to be known as]
- [25][CHN][]
- [26][JPN][the Workshop City.]

- [28][CHN][]
- [29][JPN][ ]
- [29][CHN][]
- [30][JPN][When the monarchy collapsed 18 years ago, it was able to grow]
- [30][CHN][]
- [31][JPN][further by founding a new government under the alchemists.]
- [31][CHN][]
- [32][JPN][The inventions they produced amazed other nations, but their]
- [32][CHN][]
- [33][JPN][rapid growth also caused friction with their neighbors.]
- [33][CHN][]
- [34][JPN][]
- [34][CHN][]
- [35][JPN][In Yuidora, a young man who is about to take his first step]
- [35][CHN][]
- [36][JPN][]
- [36][CHN][]
- [37][JPN][forward as an alchemist...]
- [37][CHN][]
- [38][JPN][It's finally time. I... Wilfred Dion... will take my final test]
- [38][CHN][]
- [39][JPN][]
- [39][CHN][]
- [40][JPN][and become an alchemist.]
- [40][CHN][]
- [41][JPN][I've been cramming in everything I've ever learned so I can be]
- [41][CHN][]
- [42][JPN][sure that I'm ready.]
- [42][CHN][]
- [43][JPN][I can't take over the workshop that my parents left me until I'm]
- [43][CHN][]
- [44][JPN][officially certified as an alchemist.]
- [44][CHN][]
- [45][JPN][Learning it all has been hard, but since I was born here, I]
- [45][CHN][]
- [46][JPN][]
- [46][CHN][]
- [47][JPN][can't say how much it means to me to become an alchemist.]
- [47][CHN][]
- [48][JPN][Just thinking about being able to build up this small home to]
- [48][CHN][]
- [49][JPN][something bigger makes me tremble with excitement.]
- [49][CHN][]
- [50][JPN][I have to use every moment that I have left so that I can]
- [50][CHN][]
- [51][JPN][fulfill my childhood dream.]
- [51][CHN][]
- [52][JPN][]
- [52][CHN][]
- [53][JPN][I take a short break from reviewing and look around my tiny,]
- [53][CHN][]
- [54][JPN][worn-out workshop.]
- [54][CHN][]
- [55][JPN][The forge is sooty and I don't have enough room for all my]
- [55][CHN][]
- [56][JPN][tools, but they're all lined up neatly.]
- [56][CHN][]
- [57][JPN][]
- [57][CHN][]
- [58][JPN][ ]
- [58][CHN][]
- [59][JPN][ ]
- [59][CHN][]
- [60][JPN][ ]
- [60][CHN][]
- [61][JPN][Nothing's wrong with my forge and all my tools are where they]
- [61][CHN][]
- [62][JPN][should be.]
- [62][CHN][]
- [63][JPN][By carefully budgeting and pooling my family's money, I've]
- [63][CHN][]
- [64][JPN][managed to save up 500S (Santoeril) as my starting capital.]
- [64][CHN][]
- [65][JPN][I can open my store any time.]
- [65][CHN][]
- [66][JPN][When I was little, I looked at this workshop with bright eyes,]
- [66][CHN][]
- [67][JPN][but soon it's going to become where I work.]
- [67][CHN][]
- [68][JPN][]
- [68][CHN][]
- [69][JPN][I walk out of the dark workshop and into the street.]
- [69][CHN][]
- [70][JPN][I take a deep breath and try to calm my racing heart.]
- [70][CHN][]
- [71][JPN][「Has it already been a year? It felt like nothing...」]
- [71][CHN][]
- [72][JPN][]
- [72][CHN][]
- [73][JPN][I took the test to become an alchemist a year ago.]
- [73][CHN][]
- [74][JPN][But my parents died during the testing period, and I couldn't]
- [74][CHN][]
- [75][JPN][concentrate enough to finish the exam.]
- [75][CHN][]
- [76][JPN][This year, for the sake of my parents, I will light the fire in]
- [76][CHN][]
- [77][JPN][]
- [77][CHN][]
- [78][JPN][this workshop again.]
- [78][CHN][]
- [79][JPN][As I think about how hard the last year's been, I keep glancing]
- [79][CHN][]
- [80][JPN][]
- [80][CHN][]
- [81][JPN][at the clock out of the corner of my eye.]
- [81][CHN][]
- [82][JPN][It's almost time.]
- [82][CHN][]
- [83][JPN][I have to get ready soon.]
- [83][CHN][]
- [84][JPN][「Oh? A visitor now? Yeees? I'll be right there!」]
- [84][CHN][]
- [85][JPN][「Oh? It's just you, Leguna...」]
- [85][CHN][]
- [86][JPN][It's disappointing to see him. I don't need this unlucky guy]
- [86][CHN][]
- [87][JPN][here so close to the final exam.]
- [87][CHN][]
- [88][JPN][Leguna Ashys. He's been my terrible friend since I was young. He]
- [88][CHN][]
- [89][JPN][also passed the test last year so he's already an alchemist.]

- [99][CHN][]
- [100][JPN][else?」]
- [100][CHN][]
- [101][JPN][]
- [101][CHN][]
- [102][JPN][「I was just about to leave. Well, they're a little late, so]
- [102][CHN][]
- [103][JPN][come in, My Esteemed Visitor, Sir!」]
- [103][CHN][]
- [104][JPN][]
- [104][CHN][]

- [107][CHN][]
- [108][JPN][]
- [108][CHN][]
- [109][JPN][「I'm happy to hear the sarcasm. I was sure that you'd have]
- [109][CHN][]
- [110][JPN][]
- [110][CHN][]
- [111][JPN][worked yourself sick and collapsed...」]
- [111][CHN][]
- [112][JPN][]
- [112][CHN][]
- [113][JPN][「What are you talking about? Today's the day I take my first]
- [113][CHN][]
- [114][JPN][step as an alchemist. I can't break down on a day like today.」]
- [114][CHN][]
- [115][JPN][]
- [115][CHN][]
- [116][JPN][「Then it sounds like you remember your appointment.」]
- [116][CHN][]
- [117][JPN][「My appointment?」]
- [117][CHN][]
- [118][JPN][]
- [118][CHN][]
- [119][JPN][「Didn't you say that you were going to be one of Yuidora's]
- [119][CHN][]
- [120][JPN][]
- [120][CHN][]
- [121][JPN][alchemists? You need to keep your promises.」]
- [121][CHN][]
- [122][JPN][「What are you talking about? I've had today reserved for]
- [122][CHN][]
- [123][JPN][months. I wouldn't have made any appointments...」]
- [123][CHN][]
- [124][JPN][I pull out my pocketbook that contains my schedule and all my]
- [124][CHN][]
- [125][JPN][notes.]
- [125][CHN][]
- [126][JPN][There's nothing in there about an appointment with him...]
- [126][CHN][]
- [127][JPN][「I don't remember anything and it's not in my notes. Sorry, but]
- [127][CHN][]
- [128][JPN][can we do it another time? I'm busy today and on my way out.」]
- [128][CHN][]
- [129][JPN][「I believe right now will be fine. I'd think that's what you]
- [129][CHN][]
- [130][JPN][would prefer as well.」]
- [130][CHN][]
- [131][JPN][]
- [131][CHN][]
- [132][JPN][「Although... Somebody appears to be outside. ]
- [132][CHN][]
- [133][JPN][Go have a look.」]
- [133][CHN][]
- [134][JPN][「...You are not busy?」]
- [134][CHN][]
- [135][JPN][A girl stops in front of my workshop and looks in.]
- [135][CHN][]
- [136][JPN][Her clothes are foreign, but I've seen similar ones before.]
- [136][CHN][]
- [137][JPN][]
- [137][CHN][]
- [138][JPN][She's also carrying a sword.]
- [138][CHN][]
- [139][JPN][「Um, is there something I can do to help you?」]
- [139][CHN][]
- [140][JPN][The girl remains quiet, but moves forward a step.]
- [140][CHN][]
- [141][JPN][「...This is a workshop?」]
- [141][CHN][]
- [142][JPN][「Well, it is, but it's also not...」]
- [142][CHN][]
- [143][JPN][It'll be hard to explain Yuidora's Alchemist Guild to a]
- [143][CHN][]
- [144][JPN][]
- [144][CHN][]
- [145][JPN][foreigner.]
- [145][CHN][]
- [146][JPN][It does certainly look like a workshop, and of course, my]
- [146][CHN][]
- [147][JPN][parents were alchemists.]
- [147][CHN][]
- [148][JPN][But since I'm the current owner and I'm not certified as an]
- [148][CHN][]
- [149][JPN][]
- [149][CHN][]
- [150][JPN][alchemist, I can't take on customers as a workshop.]
- [150][CHN][]
- [151][JPN][]
- [151][CHN][]
- [152][JPN][So it is a workshop in form, but it would be illegal to use it]
- [152][CHN][]
- [153][JPN][as a workshop...]
- [153][CHN][]
- [154][JPN][「You are saying that it is not an ordinary workshop?」]
- [154][CHN][]
- [155][JPN][]
- [155][CHN][]
- [156][JPN][「Well, I wouldn't really say that either...」]
- [156][CHN][]
- [157][JPN][「I see... Then...」]
- [157][CHN][]
- [158][JPN][「Good grief. What are you doing? Aren't you busy?」]
- [158][CHN][]
- [159][JPN][「Oops, you're right.」]
- [159][CHN][]
- [160][JPN][]
- [160][CHN][]
- [161][JPN][「I'm sorry you came all the way here. Is there anything I could]
- [161][CHN][]
- [162][JPN][just quickly help you with?」]
- [162][CHN][]
- [163][JPN][「...」]
- [163][CHN][]
- [164][JPN][]
- [164][CHN][]
- [165][JPN][「Ah...」]
- [165][CHN][]
- [166][JPN][She looks at us suspiciously for a moment, then turns and]
- [166][CHN][]
- [167][JPN][leaves.]
- [167][CHN][]
- [168][JPN][]
- [168][CHN][]
- [169][JPN][「She left without saying anything. I wonder if I offended]
- [169][CHN][]
- [170][JPN][her...」]
- [170][CHN][]
- [171][JPN][「You remain more concerned for others than you are for]
- [171][CHN][]
- [172][JPN][]
- [172][CHN][]
- [173][JPN][yourself. The same as always.」]
- [173][CHN][]
- [174][JPN][]
- [174][CHN][]
- [175][JPN][「Sorry. I can't stop myself from trying to help people in]
- [175][CHN][]
- [176][JPN][need.」]
- [176][CHN][]
- [177][JPN][]
- [177][CHN][]
- [178][JPN][「I did not say it was a bad thing. It's my job to hold your]
- [178][CHN][]
- [179][JPN][reins.」]
- [179][CHN][]
- [180][JPN][「Since when have we been like that...」]
- [180][CHN][]
- [181][JPN][「...Ah! Damn!」]
- [181][CHN][]
- [182][JPN][I suddenly remember and rush back into the workshop.]
- [182][CHN][]
- [183][JPN][...And look at the clock.]
- [183][CHN][]
- [184][JPN][「Crap, it's almost time. I have to go!」]
- [184][CHN][]
- [185][JPN][「...Indeed, you've solved the riddle.」]
- [185][CHN][]
- [186][JPN][「I have some words of advice for you.」]
- [186][CHN][]
- [187][JPN][「Give me a break here. This is important. I can't afford to be]
- [187][CHN][]
- [188][JPN][]
- [188][CHN][]
- [189][JPN][late.」]
- [189][CHN][]
- [190][JPN][]
- [190][CHN][]
- [191][JPN][「Your final exam? I'm aware of that.」]
- [191][CHN][]
- [192][JPN][]
- [192][CHN][]
- [193][JPN][「If you are, then go away. I won't get my alchemist's license]
- [193][CHN][]
- [194][JPN][if I don't pass.」]
- [194][CHN][]
- [195][JPN][「I have four things to say.」]
- [195][CHN][]
- [196][JPN][「Say whatever you want. Let's see, my tools... and I need a]
- [196][CHN][]
- [197][JPN][weapon, and...」]
- [197][CHN][]
- [198][JPN][「First, you must keep your word as an alchemist of Yuidora.」]
- [198][CHN][]
- [199][JPN][「I know that. That's why I'm in a hurry.」]
- [199][CHN][]
- [200][JPN][]
- [200][CHN][]
- [201][JPN][「Second, an unlicensed alchemist must not accept any requests]
- [201][CHN][]
- [202][JPN][in Yuidora.」]
- [202][CHN][]
- [203][JPN][「I know that too. I've turned people down when they asked.」]
- [203][CHN][]
- [204][JPN][I gather up my tools.]
- [204][CHN][]
- [205][JPN][「Third, an alchemist of Yuidora must properly maintain their]
- [205][CHN][]
- [206][JPN][tools and equipment.」]
- [206][CHN][]
- [207][JPN][「...Hm?」]
- [207][CHN][]
- [208][JPN][The clock on the counter catches my eye. I look between it and]
- [208][CHN][]
- [209][JPN][the larger clock that I checked a moment before.]
- [209][CHN][]
- [210][JPN][I realize it as soon as I look between the two.]
- [210][CHN][]
- [211][JPN][]
- [211][CHN][]
- [212][JPN][「Mm. That large clock is surprisingly slow.」]
- [212][CHN][]
- [213][JPN][「...J-Jerk! Tell me that sooner!」]
- [213][CHN][]
- [214][JPN][]
- [214][CHN][]
- [215][JPN][I'll be disqualified on the spot if I'm late to meet the proctor]
- [215][CHN][]
- [216][JPN][for the final exam. I race toward the exit in a panic.]
- [216][CHN][]
- [217][JPN][「Out of the way! I can make it in time if I run!」]
- [217][CHN][]
- [218][JPN][]
- [218][CHN][]
- [219][JPN][「There's no need for that.」]
- [219][CHN][]
- [220][JPN][「And lastly... I am the proctor for your final examination.」]
- [220][CHN][]
- [221][JPN][「Huh...?」]
- [221][CHN][]
- [222][JPN][]
- [222][CHN][]
- [223][JPN][「Since you did keep your appointment and meet with your proctor]
- [223][CHN][]
- [224][JPN][by chance, it seems that your luck is rising.」]
- [224][CHN][]
- [225][JPN][]
- [225][CHN][]
- [226][JPN][「I was going to disqualify you, but I'll forego any penalties]
- [226][CHN][]
- [227][JPN][since you were just in time for the start of your exam.」]
- [227][CHN][]
- [228][JPN][「What are you worried about? You should be able to overcome]
- [228][CHN][]
- [229][JPN][adversity like this easily with your abilities.」]
- [229][CHN][]
- [230][JPN][「Adversity? I'm fired up! Wait, no, hold it... Why is it you?」]
- [230][CHN][]
- [231][JPN][「That question is unrelated to the examination. I am not]
- [231][CHN][]
- [232][JPN][required to answer it.」]
- [232][CHN][]
- [233][JPN][「No, no, no, I mean...」]
- [233][CHN][]
- [234][JPN][「By the way, since you're already late for the exam, would you]
- [234][CHN][]
- [235][JPN][]
- [235][CHN][]
- [236][JPN][like to study some more?」]
- [236][CHN][]
- [237][JPN][「No, I'd rather not... Hey! How can you be so calm!?」]
- [237][CHN][]
- [238][JPN][]
- [238][CHN][]
- [239][JPN][「How would panicking help?」]
- [239][CHN][]
- [240][JPN][「Please hurry!」]
- [240][CHN][]
- [241][JPN][I finish getting ready and rush toward the examination grounds]
- [241][CHN][]
- [242][JPN][despite Leguna not hurrying at all.]
- [242][CHN][]
- [243][JPN][]
- [243][CHN][]
- [244][JPN][We soon arrive at the ore mine next to Yuidora.]
- [244][CHN][]
- [245][JPN][]
- [245][CHN][]
- [246][JPN][Beyond here is an area managed by Yuidora's Alchemist Guild. You]
- [246][CHN][]
- [247][JPN][can't go in without a license.]
- [247][CHN][]
- [248][JPN][I can't go in normally, but with Leguna escorting me now, I've]
- [248][CHN][]
- [249][JPN][been allowed to enter.]
- [249][CHN][]
- [250][JPN][Besides mithril and seton steel, this place is famous for the]
- [250][CHN][]
- [251][JPN][rare reyshia steel in its deeper shafts.]
- [251][CHN][]
- [252][JPN][You could call it the cornerstone of the growth of Yuidora's]
- [252][CHN][]
- [253][JPN][Alchemist Guild.]
- [253][CHN][]
- [254][JPN][The final test is to enter the Yuidora Mine and fulfill the]
- [254][CHN][]
- [255][JPN][]
- [255][CHN][]
- [256][JPN][specified goal.]
- [256][CHN][]
- [257][JPN][]
- [257][CHN][]
- [258][JPN][「Still, that was a surprise. I never thought you'd be my]
- [258][CHN][]
- [259][JPN][proctor. That really saved me.」]
- [259][CHN][]
- [260][JPN][「Just the result of minor coincidences. Weren't you originally]
- [260][CHN][]
- [261][JPN][]
- [261][CHN][]
- [262][JPN][at my level?」]
- [262][CHN][]
- [263][JPN][「...」]
- [263][CHN][]
- [264][JPN][]
- [264][CHN][]
- [265][JPN][I reluctantly think back to a year ago.]
- [265][CHN][]
- [266][JPN][]
- [266][CHN][]
- [267][JPN][Leguna passed easily and has spent the last year as an]
- [267][CHN][]
- [268][JPN][alchemist.]
- [268][CHN][]
- [269][JPN][「It's embarrassing for me to have my former rival be so far]
- [269][CHN][]
- [270][JPN][behind me. I'm looking forward to this as well, you know.」]
- [270][CHN][]
- [271][JPN][]
- [271][CHN][]
- [272][JPN][「Don't you know best of all how good I am?」]
- [272][CHN][]
- [273][JPN][Although we're joking around, I'm starting to feel nervous.]
- [273][CHN][]
- [274][JPN][]
- [274][CHN][]
- [275][JPN][Laguna matured and became an examiner in the year that I did]
- [275][CHN][]
- [276][JPN][nothing.]
- [276][CHN][]
- [277][JPN][My test may even be similar to the one that Leguna took to]
- [277][CHN][]
- [278][JPN][become certified.]
- [278][CHN][]
- [279][JPN][Is the gap between us from that single year going to exist]
- [279][CHN][]
- [280][JPN][forever? The difference stings my whole body.]
- [280][CHN][]
- [281][JPN][「...What is it?」]
- [281][CHN][]
- [282][JPN][I feel his eyes on me and laugh to drive off those dark]
- [282][CHN][]
- [283][JPN][]
- [283][CHN][]
- [284][JPN][thoughts.]
- [284][CHN][]
- [285][JPN][「Nah, just thinking that if I cause problems during the test,]
- [285][CHN][]
- [286][JPN][you could get demoted back down instead.」]
- [286][CHN][]
- [287][JPN][「You'll just lose another year.」]
- [287][CHN][]
- [288][JPN][「Then maybe you should have hurried with me. What ever happened]
- [288][CHN][]
- [289][JPN][to our youthful friendship?」]
- [289][CHN][]
- [290][JPN][「No thank you. I've got a much higher goal. I'm not going to]
- [290][CHN][]
- [291][JPN][stumble over a pebble like you.」]

- [293][CHN][]
- [294][JPN][Yes. I might just be a pebble now, but for my parents and for my]
- [294][CHN][]
- [295][JPN][friend waiting for me, I've got to pass.]
- [295][CHN][]
- [296][JPN][「Okay, I'm ready.」]

- [298][JPN][「Roger.」]
- [298][CHN][]
- [299][JPN][There's no point worrying now. This is too important.]

- [304][CHN][]
- [305][JPN][「Do you have the results?」]
- [305][CHN][]
- [306][JPN][「I will return and give my report now. If we hurry, you could]

- [310][CHN][]
- [311][JPN][「One day is nothing compared to an entire year.」]

- [314][CHN][]
- [315][JPN][「I understand how you feel.」]

- [320][JPN][Even though we trained under different alchemists, I always]
- [320][CHN][]

- [329][CHN][]
- [330][JPN][「Her workshop is huge. It's been passed down for generations. I]

- [331][CHN][]
- [332][JPN][The size of one's workshop is an indicator for an alchemist's]

- [335][CHN][]
- [336][JPN][over the government from the monarchy.]
- [336][CHN][]
- [337][JPN][The most skilled alchemist is the lord. So it's no surprise that]

- [339][CHN][]
- [340][JPN][That's the unique way of life here in the Workshop City.]

- [350][CHN][]
- [351][JPN][Since the test's done, I go back to my workshop.]

- [352][JPN][I know that I did good work back there.]
- [352][CHN][]
- [353][JPN][]
- [353][CHN][]
- [354][JPN][I just have to wait for the report from the Alchemist Guild.]
- [354][CHN][]
- [355][JPN][...But I won't get anything done by shutting myself up at home.]
- [355][CHN][]
- [356][JPN][]
- [356][CHN][]
- [357][JPN][I'll clean up...]
- [357][CHN][]
- [358][JPN][...]
- [358][CHN][]
- [359][JPN][]
- [359][CHN][]
- [360][JPN][.........]
- [360][CHN][]
- [361][JPN][Did I pass? ]
- [361][CHN][]
- [362][JPN][Or did I fail...]
- [362][CHN][]
- [363][JPN][I failed before the final exam last year and then got]
- [363][CHN][]
- [364][JPN][depressed...]
- [364][CHN][]
- [365][JPN][Leguna passed. I congratulated him, but I don't think that I was]
- [365][CHN][]
- [366][JPN][smiling.]
- [366][CHN][]
- [367][JPN][I wonder if he took the job as proctor because he was worried]
- [367][CHN][]
- [368][JPN][about me.]
- [368][CHN][]
- [369][JPN][...No, he's still just had one year. He can't have that kind of]
- [369][CHN][]
- [370][JPN][]
- [370][CHN][]
- [371][JPN][authority yet.]
- [371][CHN][]
- [372][JPN][All I can do is wait...]
- [372][CHN][]
- [373][JPN][]
- [373][CHN][]
- [374][JPN][I look at the clock again, but the hands have barely moved at]
- [374][CHN][]
- [375][JPN][all.]
- [375][CHN][]
- [376][JPN][I get up and go over to the ticking grandfather clock and adjust]
- [376][CHN][]
- [377][JPN][it so that it's showing the correct time.]
- [377][CHN][]
- [378][JPN][「This sucks. I can't just sit around.」]
- [378][CHN][]
- [379][JPN][I leave my workshop and head to the bar.]
- [379][CHN][]
- [380][JPN][Out on the street, the sounds of hammers and machines are]
- [380][CHN][]
- [381][JPN][everywhere.]
- [381][CHN][]
- [382][JPN][]
- [382][CHN][]
- [383][JPN][Workshops fill this town, so it's full of alchemists and the]
- [383][CHN][]
- [384][JPN][people that work with them. The city's backbone is alchemy.]
- [384][CHN][]
- [385][JPN][]
- [385][CHN][]
- [386][JPN][If I pass, I'll be a part of it too.]
- [386][CHN][]
- [387][JPN][As I think and walk, I hear a shout from down the street.]
- [387][CHN][]
- [388][JPN][It's coming from one of the nearby workshops. There's a man]
- [388][CHN][]
- [389][JPN][]
- [389][CHN][]
- [390][JPN][arguing with a girl.]
- [390][CHN][]
- [391][JPN][「Get out of here! I don't need brats getting in the way of my]
- [391][CHN][]
- [392][JPN][business!」]
- [392][CHN][]
- [393][JPN][]
- [393][CHN][]
- [394][JPN][「What!? You're kicking out a customer!?」]
- [394][CHN][]
- [395][JPN][「What customer? I ain't got time for brats. Get out of here]
- [395][CHN][]
- [396][JPN][before I throw you out!」]
- [396][CHN][]
- [397][JPN][「Aaah...! Hey! Don't touch me! Take this! Eeei!」]
- [397][CHN][]
- [398][JPN][The man's body flips into the air and spins before he falls onto]
- [398][CHN][]
- [399][JPN][the ground.]
- [399][CHN][]
- [400][JPN][]
- [400][CHN][]
- [401][JPN][What the heck just happened? He stays on the ground, looking up]
- [401][CHN][]
- [402][JPN][]
- [402][CHN][]
- [403][JPN][in blank surprise.]
- [403][CHN][]
- [404][JPN][「Alchemists like you should just get lost! Bleeeeh!」]
- [404][CHN][]
- [405][JPN][The girl sticks out her tongue and starts running.]
- [405][CHN][]
- [406][JPN][「Aah!」]
- [406][CHN][]
- [407][JPN][She ploughs headlong into me. I catch her and hold her up.]
- [407][CHN][]
- [408][JPN][「Whoa, careful there... ]
- [408][CHN][]
- [409][JPN][Are you okay?」]
- [409][CHN][]
- [410][JPN][]
- [410][CHN][]
- [411][JPN][「I-I'm sorry.」]
- [411][CHN][]
- [412][JPN][「Huh... Aren't you... Wilfred Dion!?」]
- [412][CHN][]
- [413][JPN][]
- [413][CHN][]
- [414][JPN][「Huh? You know who I am...?」]
- [414][CHN][]
- [415][JPN][We both look at each other in surprise.]
- [415][CHN][]
- [416][JPN][]
- [416][CHN][]
- [417][JPN][A little ways away, the fallen man staggers to his feet.]
- [417][CHN][]
- [418][JPN][「Damn it. Where'd that brat go...」]
- [418][CHN][]
- [419][JPN][He starts walking toward us, looking for her.]
- [419][CHN][]
- [420][JPN][She realizes it and looks up at me with pleading eyes.]
- [420][CHN][]
- [421][JPN][「Help me, Sir! There's a bad man after me!」]
- [421][CHN][]
- [422][JPN][「Uh, well, you know that I...」]
- [422][CHN][]
- [423][JPN][I'm not sure how to react to her sudden request, and she's]
- [423][CHN][]
- [424][JPN][obviously only pretending to cry.]
- [424][CHN][]
- [425][JPN][All the while, that man is coming toward us.]
- [425][CHN][]
- [426][JPN][「At this rate, he'll catch me, and send me to the garrison, and]
- [426][CHN][]
- [427][JPN][I'll be thrown in prison! Waaaaah!」]
- [427][CHN][]
- [428][JPN][When she breaks into tears, everybody looks at us.]
- [428][CHN][]
- [429][JPN][The man notices it too and comes straight here.]
- [429][CHN][]
- [430][JPN][]
- [430][CHN][]
- [431][JPN][「...H-Hurry up and get out of here. Go on, go.」]
- [431][CHN][]
- [432][JPN][I instinctively push the girl into the crowd.]
- [432][CHN][]
- [433][JPN][「Thanks, Wil!」]
- [433][CHN][]
- [434][JPN][「Whatever! Just go!」]
- [434][CHN][]
- [435][JPN][Immediately after she disappears, the man makes it to my side.]
- [435][CHN][]
- [436][JPN][「Hmmm... You... I've seen you somewhere before. Have we met?」]
- [436][CHN][]
- [437][JPN][]
- [437][CHN][]
- [438][JPN][「Whatever. Hey, you. You know that brat?」]
- [438][CHN][]
- [439][JPN][]
- [439][CHN][]
- [440][JPN][「No, I don't.」]
- [440][CHN][]
- [441][JPN][「Hmm? Really? What were you talking about with her?」]
- [441][CHN][]
- [442][JPN][The man stares at me suspiciously. I immediately point in the]
- [442][CHN][]
- [443][JPN][opposite direction that she went.]
- [443][CHN][]
- [444][JPN][「She went that way. I think she's gone already.」]
- [444][CHN][]
- [445][JPN][「Tch... Whatever. I'll get her next time.」]
- [445][CHN][]
- [446][JPN][The man turns around and starts to leave, but suddenly looks]
- [446][CHN][]
- [447][JPN][back.]
- [447][CHN][]
- [448][JPN][「I remember. You're the Dion boy. Your parents would roll in]
- [448][CHN][]
- [449][JPN][their graves knowing you were just screwin' around.」]
- [449][CHN][]
- [450][JPN][The man spits back the words as he leaves. I sigh in relief.]
- [450][CHN][]
- [451][JPN][I better get to the bar before I'm sucked into anything else.]
- [451][CHN][]
- [452][JPN][When I step into the bar like usual, Tian, the bartender, greets]
- [452][CHN][]
- [453][JPN][me with a broad smile.]
- [453][CHN][]
- [454][JPN][「Yo. Welcome, kiddo. I didn't expect to see you today.」]
- [454][CHN][]
- [455][JPN][「Hey there, old man.」]
- [455][CHN][]
- [456][JPN][]
- [456][CHN][]
- [457][JPN][Tian runs the bar where many of Yuidora's alchemists gather.]
- [457][CHN][]
- [458][JPN][He's someone that even alchemists respect.]
- [458][CHN][]
- [459][JPN][He took care of my parents too. We came here to eat a lot when I]
- [459][CHN][]
- [460][JPN][was young.]
- [460][CHN][]
- [461][JPN][When I don't have time to cook for myself, I usually come here.]
- [461][CHN][]
- [462][JPN][]
- [462][CHN][]
- [463][JPN][He's watched over me and supported me becoming an alchemist ever]
- [463][CHN][]
- [464][JPN][since I lost my parents.]
- [464][CHN][]
- [465][JPN][「I'm done with the test, but it'll be a little longer until I]
- [465][CHN][]
- [466][JPN][know how I did.」]
- [466][CHN][]
- [467][JPN][「It'll be fine. I know you passed.」]
- [467][CHN][]
- [468][JPN][「I really hope so.」]
- [468][CHN][]
- [469][JPN][「This year went fine. I think I'll start preparing something to]
- [469][CHN][]
- [470][JPN][celebrate the opening of your store.」]
- [470][CHN][]
- [471][JPN][「Do you mean a new drink? Something I'll get to try too?」]
- [471][CHN][]
- [472][JPN][]
- [472][CHN][]
- [473][JPN][「You'll have to look forward to it after you pass.」]
- [473][CHN][]
- [474][JPN][「Honestly, for this punk kid to have already taken the Guild's]
- [474][CHN][]
- [475][JPN][]
- [475][CHN][]
- [476][JPN][exam... You'll be surpassing me in no time.」]
- [476][CHN][]
- [477][JPN][「I don't know if I've passed yet.」]
- [477][CHN][]
- [478][JPN][Someone enters the bar and the crowd suddenly gets noisy. Even]
- [478][CHN][]
- [479][JPN][the old man looks surprised.]
- [479][CHN][]
- [480][JPN][I look behind me and see her walk straight to the counter.]
- [480][CHN][]
- [481][JPN][She's young and slender, with a thin face and smooth golden]
- [481][CHN][]
- [482][JPN][]
- [482][CHN][]
- [483][JPN][hair.]
- [483][CHN][]
- [484][JPN][There's a scent in the air around her that overpowers the]
- [484][CHN][]
- [485][JPN][liquor, men, and food. It's a calming, pleasant smell.]
- [485][CHN][]
- [486][JPN][She's a beautiful elf.]
- [486][CHN][]
- [487][JPN][She almost looks human, but she's clearly not. There's just a]
- [487][CHN][]
- [488][JPN][mystic kind of atmosphere around her.]
- [488][CHN][]
- [489][JPN][I stare at her, fascinated.]
- [489][CHN][]
- [490][JPN][]
- [490][CHN][]
- [491][JPN][Everybody here, including Tian, is staring at her just like me.]
- [491][CHN][]
- [492][JPN][]
- [492][CHN][]
- [493][JPN][It's unusual for elves to come to Yuidora.]
- [493][CHN][]

- [497][JPN][Crystalline Forest]
- [497][CHN][]
- [498][JPN][, where the elves live, is northeast of Yuidora, but]
- [498][CHN][]
- [499][JPN][you rarely see any of them coming to human areas.]
- [499][CHN][]
- [500][JPN][The elf girl doesn't seem bothered by all the people staring at]
- [500][CHN][]
- [501][JPN][]
- [501][CHN][]
- [502][JPN][her. She smiles when she sees me and the old man.]
- [502][CHN][]
- [503][JPN][「Good day.」]
- [503][CHN][]
- [504][JPN][「Yeah, good day...」]
- [504][CHN][]
- [505][JPN][「Yeah... W-Welcome. What brings an elf to my bar?」]
- [505][CHN][]
- [506][JPN][「I am trying to find the lord's workshop. I think that I may be]
- [506][CHN][]
- [507][JPN][lost.」]
- [507][CHN][]
- [508][JPN][]
- [508][CHN][]
- [509][JPN][The old man looks relieved at her question.]
- [509][CHN][]
- [510][JPN][]
- [510][CHN][]
- [511][JPN][「Ah, then take a right as you leave here. Then turn left after]
- [511][CHN][]
- [512][JPN][]
- [512][CHN][]
- [513][JPN][you pass through the plaza.」]
- [513][CHN][]
- [514][JPN][「I can show you the way if you'd like.」]
- [514][CHN][]
- [515][JPN][I start to get up without even thinking about it.]
- [515][CHN][]
- [516][JPN][She doesn't look surprised or annoyed, she just smiles.]
- [516][CHN][]
- [517][JPN][]
- [517][CHN][]
- [518][JPN][「Haha. Thank you, but I will be fine.」]
- [518][CHN][]
- [519][JPN][Smiling radiantly, she leaves the bar.]
- [519][CHN][]
- [520][JPN][After I watch her disappear out the door, I sit back down and]
- [520][CHN][]
- [521][JPN][turn back to the old man.]
- [521][CHN][]
- [522][JPN][「I'm surprised an elf would laugh. I thought they were more]
- [522][CHN][]
- [523][JPN][collected.」]
- [523][CHN][]
- [524][JPN][「Me too. I've never seen that before.」]
- [524][CHN][]
- [525][JPN][「She must be from Reyshiamael. What do you think she wants with]
- [525][CHN][]
- [526][JPN][the lord?」]
- [526][CHN][]
- [527][JPN][]
- [527][CHN][]
- [528][JPN][]
- [528][CHN][]
- [529][JPN][]
- [529][CHN][]
- [530][JPN][]
- [530][CHN][]
- [531][JPN][「Who knows... Rosanna has studied eastern culture in depth.]
- [531][CHN][]
- [532][JPN][Maybe it's an exchange with the elves this time.」]
- [532][CHN][]
- [533][JPN][「...」]
- [533][CHN][]
- [534][JPN][]
- [534][CHN][]
- [535][JPN][After killing some more time in the bar, I go back to my]
- [535][CHN][]
- [536][JPN][workshop.]
- [536][CHN][]
- [537][JPN][There's nobody else here. The only sound is the clock ticking]
- [537][CHN][]
- [538][JPN][each second away.]
- [538][CHN][]
- [539][JPN][「Is it tomorrow yet...」]
- [539][CHN][]
- [540][JPN][I lean back in my chair, close my eyes, and think about the]
- [540][CHN][]
- [541][JPN][]
- [541][CHN][]
- [542][JPN][past.]
- [542][CHN][]
- [543][JPN][My parents were alchemists. This workshop used to belong to]
- [543][CHN][]
- [544][JPN][]
- [544][CHN][]
- [545][JPN][them.]
- [545][CHN][]
- [546][JPN][When they were alive, it was always full of people smiling.]
- [546][CHN][]
- [547][JPN][]
- [547][CHN][]
- [548][JPN][Every customer left satisfied.]
- [548][CHN][]
- [549][JPN][That's how I grew up, and why I want to become an alchemist. It]
- [549][CHN][]
- [550][JPN][]
- [550][CHN][]
- [551][JPN][must be like that for a lot of kids in Yuidora.]
- [551][CHN][]
- [552][JPN][]
- [552][CHN][]
- [553][JPN][First you help in the workshop. Then there's several years of]
- [553][CHN][]
- [554][JPN][apprentice training before becoming an alchemist.]
- [554][CHN][]
- [555][JPN][While studying under different alchemists, you learn difficult]
- [555][CHN][]
- [556][JPN][techniques and the basics of workshop management.]
- [556][CHN][]
- [557][JPN][Nearly everybody in Yuidora wants to be an alchemist. Where you]
- [557][CHN][]
- [558][JPN][]
- [558][CHN][]
- [559][JPN][were born and how you were raised don't matter.]
- [559][CHN][]
- [560][JPN][]
- [560][CHN][]
- [561][JPN][Some give up along the way and stay as assistants or]
- [561][CHN][]
- [562][JPN][apprentices, but I took the test to become an alchemist.]
- [562][CHN][]
- [563][JPN][That was a year ago. At the same time, my parents went to a]
- [563][CHN][]
- [564][JPN][]
- [564][CHN][]
- [565][JPN][dungeon with other Guild members and died there.]
- [565][CHN][]
- [566][JPN][They went to exterminate a powerful monster that had appeared,]
- [566][CHN][]
- [567][JPN][but never came back.]
- [567][CHN][]
- [568][JPN][I took the exam shortly after that, but I barely remember it. I]
- [568][CHN][]
- [569][JPN][]
- [569][CHN][]
- [570][JPN][was distracted and couldn't think straight.]
- [570][CHN][]
- [571][JPN][]
- [571][CHN][]
- [572][JPN][For the past year, I've been struggling with reality.]
- [572][CHN][]
- [573][JPN][For my dead parents, and for myself, who has to live on alone, I]
- [573][CHN][]
- [574][JPN][swore that I would become an alchemist.]
- [574][CHN][]
- [575][JPN][]
- [575][CHN][]
- [576][JPN][I did well this year. I know I passed.]
- [576][CHN][]
- [577][JPN][And I'll take my first step forward as an alchemist.]
- [577][CHN][]
- [578][JPN][I'll develop new techniques, invent new items, and become a real]
- [578][CHN][]
- [579][JPN][alchemist.]
- [579][CHN][]
- [580][JPN][And...]
- [580][CHN][]
- [581][JPN][.........]
- [581][CHN][]
- [582][JPN][...]
- [582][CHN][]
- [583][JPN][]
- [583][CHN][]
- [584][JPN][「What are you doing?」]
- [584][CHN][]
- [585][JPN][]
- [585][CHN][]
- [586][JPN][「Nnh... Oh, Leguna? I... fell asleep...」]
- [586][CHN][]
- [587][JPN][「You feel no pressure at all. You will never be a real]
- [587][CHN][]
- [588][JPN][]
- [588][CHN][]
- [589][JPN][alchemist like that.」]
- [589][CHN][]
- [590][JPN][「I was too wound up to get any sleep yesterday.」]
- [590][CHN][]
- [591][JPN][I stand up from my chair.]
- [591][CHN][]
- [592][JPN][If Leguna's here, that means that he's got the results.]
- [592][CHN][]
- [593][JPN][]
- [593][CHN][]
- [594][JPN][「So, how'd I do?」]
- [594][CHN][]
- [595][JPN][]
- [595][CHN][]
- [596][JPN][「I have something to tell you before that.」]
- [596][CHN][]
- [597][JPN][「Keep it within three things.」]
- [597][CHN][]
- [598][JPN][「First, if you're a weak fighter, you should hire a guard.」]
- [598][CHN][]
- [599][JPN][「I believe that an alchemist of Yuidora should be able to]
- [599][CHN][]
- [600][JPN][manage on their own, but this will make it easier for you.」]
- [600][CHN][]
- [601][JPN][「Second. Don't go before the lord looking half asleep. ]
- [601][CHN][]
- [602][JPN][Wash your face.」]
- [602][CHN][]
- [603][JPN][Leguna points at my mouth.]
- [603][CHN][]
- [604][JPN][I wipe the drool off my face with my sleeve.]
- [604][CHN][]
- [605][JPN][「Just two? So, how'd I do?」]
- [605][CHN][]
- [606][JPN][Leguna chuckles to himself at my question.]
- [606][CHN][]
- [607][JPN][「Heheh. You haven't figured it out yet?」]
- [607][CHN][]
- [608][JPN][「Go see the lord as soon as you wash your face.」]
- [608][CHN][]
- [609][JPN][「Go see her... You mean... I passed?」]
- [609][CHN][]
- [610][JPN][]
- [610][CHN][]
- [611][JPN][「Honestly, you're slow. Aren't you ashamed as an alchemist to]
- [611][CHN][]
- [612][JPN][ask the same question over and over again?」]
- [612][CHN][]
- [613][JPN][「I passed... I passed... ]
- [613][CHN][]
- [614][JPN][I did it!!!!!」]
- [614][CHN][]
- [615][JPN][]
- [615][CHN][]
- [616][JPN][I shout without meaning to.]
- [616][CHN][]
- [617][JPN][]
- [617][CHN][]
- [618][JPN][I grab Laguna's hand and shake it vigorously in celebration.]
- [618][CHN][]
- [619][JPN][「Thank you! I knew that you were my best friend!」]
- [619][CHN][]
- [620][JPN][]
- [620][CHN][]
- [621][JPN][「I don't mind if you're excited, but do it on your own time.]
- [621][CHN][]
- [622][JPN][This is embarrassing.」]
- [622][CHN][]
- [623][JPN][]
- [623][CHN][]
- [624][JPN][「Okay, I'm off to see the lord!」]
- [624][CHN][]
- [625][JPN][I rush out of my workshop.]
- [625][CHN][]
- [626][JPN][...But immediately go back.]
- [626][CHN][]
- [627][JPN][]
- [627][CHN][]
- [628][JPN][I quickly wash my face, towel it off, and slap my cheeks to wake]
- [628][CHN][]
- [629][JPN][myself up as I look at myself in the mirror.]
- [629][CHN][]
- [630][JPN][「What are you doing, Leguna? Hurry up! Let's go!」]
- [630][CHN][]
- [631][JPN][]
- [631][CHN][]
- [632][JPN][「Honestly, you have no composure at all.」]
- [632][CHN][]
- [633][JPN][]
- [633][CHN][]
- [634][JPN][I race through the streets.]
- [634][CHN][]
- [635][JPN][]
- [635][CHN][]
- [636][JPN][I passed. I really passed. ]
- [636][CHN][]
- [637][JPN][]
- [637][CHN][]
- [638][JPN][I'm finally an alchemist.]
- [638][CHN][]
- [639][JPN][This is the first step toward fulfilling my dream!]
- [639][CHN][]
- [640][JPN][「Whoa!」]
- [640][CHN][]
- [641][JPN][「Aah!」]
- [641][CHN][]
- [642][JPN][Huh...? Why am I looking up at the sky?]
- [642][CHN][]
- [643][JPN][]
- [643][CHN][]
- [644][JPN][「Hey, be careful. Watch where you're running!」]
- [644][CHN][]
- [645][JPN][「...They're white.」]
- [645][CHN][]
- [646][JPN][「...! What are you looking at?! Pervert!」]
- [646][CHN][]
- [647][JPN][]
- [647][CHN][]
- [648][JPN][The raised foot comes hurtling down toward my face.]
- [648][CHN][]
- [649][JPN][]
- [649][CHN][]
- [650][JPN][I barely manage to avoid it, but it still kicks up a cloud of]
- [650][CHN][]
- [651][JPN][dust against my face.]
- [651][CHN][]
- [652][JPN][「Watch out! Don't aim for sensitive places!」]
- [652][CHN][]
- [653][JPN][「Huh...? Wilfred Dion... ]
- [653][CHN][]
- [654][JPN][Is that you again?」]
- [654][CHN][]
- [655][JPN][I finally see the girl's face and remember what happened]
- [655][CHN][]
- [656][JPN][earlier.]
- [656][CHN][]
- [657][JPN][「Hm...? Ah. Aren't you the girl that was in trouble this]
- [657][CHN][]
- [658][JPN][afternoon?」]
- [658][CHN][]
- [659][JPN][「Thanks for earlier, but you have to be more careful.」]
- [659][CHN][]
- [660][JPN][She reaches out her hand.]
- [660][CHN][]
- [661][JPN][「Sorry, I was in a hurry.」]
- [661][CHN][]
- [662][JPN][I take her hand and stand up.]
- [662][CHN][]
- [663][JPN][「You're in a hurry? You mean someone's after you?」]
- [663][CHN][]
- [664][JPN][Why are her eyes gleaming when she asks that?]
- [664][CHN][]
- [665][JPN][「No, I'm going to the lord's workshop.」]
- [665][CHN][]
- [666][JPN][「The lord's? Why would you go to that old lady's place? ]
- [666][CHN][]
- [667][JPN][You've got business there?」]
- [667][CHN][]
- [668][JPN][「I'm going to get my license.」]
- [668][CHN][]
- [669][JPN][「Eh...? You're an alchemist too!?」]
- [669][CHN][]
- [670][JPN][「Starting today. Sorry, but I'm in a hurry.」]
- [670][CHN][]
- [671][JPN][「Ah...」]
- [671][CHN][]
- [672][JPN][My running finally brings me to the lord's workshop.]
- [672][CHN][]
- [673][JPN][It's a huge building the head of the central plaza on the main]
- [673][CHN][]
- [674][JPN][road. Every lord before her has worked there.]
- [674][CHN][]
- [675][JPN][「You're late. What were you doing?」]
- [675][CHN][]
- [676][JPN][「Sorry, I got a little lost.」]
- [676][CHN][]
- [677][JPN][]
- [677][CHN][]
- [678][JPN][「Lady Rosanna has been waiting. ]
- [678][CHN][]
- [679][JPN][Hurry up and go in.」]
- [679][CHN][]
- [680][JPN][「Wait a minute.」]
- [680][CHN][]
- [681][JPN][I stop walking and take a deep breath.]
- [681][CHN][]
- [682][JPN][I'm trying to catch my breath after running here, but instead,]
- [682][CHN][]
- [683][JPN][that's making my heart pound even harder.]
- [683][CHN][]
- [684][JPN][I'm really nervous right now.]
- [684][CHN][]
- [685][JPN][I've heard that Rosanna is extremely hard to please.]
- [685][CHN][]
- [686][JPN][She's a noble from the monarchy era, married to Rudensterg]
- [686][CHN][]
- [687][JPN][Leviera, and the first to be elected lord by the Guild.]
- [687][CHN][]
- [688][JPN][]
- [688][CHN][]
- [689][JPN][A rookie alchemist could lose his job in an instant if he]
- [689][CHN][]
- [690][JPN][offends her.]
- [690][CHN][]
- [691][JPN][「One more time... ]
- [691][CHN][]
- [692][JPN][]
- [692][CHN][]
- [693][JPN][Aaah...haaa......」]
- [693][CHN][]
- [694][JPN][]
- [694][CHN][]
- [695][JPN][「You're not going to get any more relaxed than this. Just]
- [695][CHN][]
- [696][JPN][prepare yourself and go in.」]
- [696][CHN][]
- [697][JPN][「I-I got it. I'll go now.」]
- [697][CHN][]
- [698][JPN][I steel my already tense body and go in the back room.]
- [698][CHN][]
- [699][JPN][I just stand there, overwhelmed by the intricate designs all]
- [699][CHN][]
- [700][JPN][around me.]
- [700][CHN][]
- [701][JPN][「This is the lord's room... ]
- [701][CHN][]
- [702][JPN][It's amazing...」]
- [702][CHN][]
- [703][JPN][You can see the work of alchemists all over the room.]
- [703][CHN][]
- [704][JPN][The pillars, walls, ceiling, tables, chairs, sculptures, vases,]
- [704][CHN][]
- [705][JPN][]
- [705][CHN][]
- [706][JPN][windows, and curtains. It's like a collection of masterpieces.]
- [706][CHN][]
- [707][JPN][I can see the eastern influences in their design too. ]
- [707][CHN][]
- [708][JPN][It's very fitting considering Rosanna's thorough study.]
- [708][CHN][]
- [709][JPN][]
- [709][CHN][]
- [710][JPN][This mansion has been used since the monarchy... This is where]
- [710][CHN][]
- [711][JPN][the new government was built.]
- [711][CHN][]
- [712][JPN][Countless alchemists must have combined their efforts to build]
- [712][CHN][]
- [713][JPN][this workshop.]
- [713][CHN][]
- [714][JPN][I was born after that, so I don't remember any of it, but I've]
- [714][CHN][]
- [715][JPN][heard about it from older alchemists, including my parents...]
- [715][CHN][]
- [716][JPN][And now, I can see what they did.]
- [716][CHN][]
- [717][JPN][I wonder if the day will come when there'll be another massive]
- [717][CHN][]
- [718][JPN][project like this.]
- [718][CHN][]
- [719][JPN][If it does happen, I wonder if I'll get to take part in it.]
- [719][CHN][]
- [720][JPN][]
- [720][CHN][]
- [721][JPN][Something small would be fine. Just one tile. One window frame.]
- [721][CHN][]
- [722][JPN][]
- [722][CHN][]
- [723][JPN][One set of matching plates. A single candlestick.]
- [723][CHN][]
- [724][JPN][Now that I've chosen to walk the path of an alchemist, I want to]
- [724][CHN][]
- [725][JPN][leave something of myself behind. That's how I feel.]
- [725][CHN][]
- [726][JPN][Just looking at all the amazing works done by the people who]
- [726][CHN][]
- [727][JPN][came before me makes me excited.]
- [727][CHN][]
- [728][JPN][I want to try my best too.]
- [728][CHN][]
- [729][JPN][「Wait here a moment. She will be right with you.」]
- [729][CHN][]
- [730][JPN][]
- [730][CHN][]
- [731][JPN][「Y-Yeah, I'll be ready.」]
- [731][CHN][]
- [732][JPN][I barely answer Leguna as he leaves and continue looking around]
- [732][CHN][]
- [733][JPN][]
- [733][CHN][]
- [734][JPN][the room.]
- [734][CHN][]
- [735][JPN][On the back wall, there are weapons and armor that look like]
- [735][CHN][]
- [736][JPN][they're from the east. I'm sure they were made here.]
- [736][CHN][]
- [737][JPN][Although eastern culture came to Yuidora, Rosanna, our present]
- [737][CHN][]
- [738][JPN][lord, is the one who has mastered it the best.]
- [738][CHN][]
- [739][JPN][Female alchemists aren't unusual in Yuidora, but their]
- [739][CHN][]
- [740][JPN][techniques and results are quite different.]
- [740][CHN][]
- [741][JPN][]
- [741][CHN][]
- [742][JPN][Rosanna is the envy of all the alchemists in Yuidora.]
- [742][CHN][]
- [743][JPN][I'm suddenly startled out of my thoughts when I hear footsteps]
- [743][CHN][]
- [744][JPN][approaching.]
- [744][CHN][]
- [745][JPN][I hurriedly straighten my clothes.]
- [745][CHN][]
- [746][JPN][I cleaned myself off, but I still feel sooty and out of place]
- [746][CHN][]
- [747][JPN][with all the exquisite beauty in this room.]
- [747][CHN][]
- [748][JPN][]
- [748][CHN][]
- [749][JPN][A mature woman appears, moving gracefully.]
- [749][CHN][]
- [750][JPN][She walks up to me. I swallow nervously.]
- [750][CHN][]
- [751][JPN][This is Yuidora's current lord, the Grand Master Alchemist,]
- [751][CHN][]
- [752][JPN][]
- [752][CHN][]
- [753][JPN][Rosanna Leviera.]
- [753][CHN][]
- [754][JPN][ ]
- [754][CHN][]
- [755][JPN][ ]
- [755][CHN][]
- [756][JPN][ ]
- [756][CHN][]
- [757][JPN][In Yuidora, crowded with workshops, she is the most skilled and]
- [757][CHN][]
- [758][JPN][]
- [758][CHN][]
- [759][JPN][has the largest workshop.]
- [759][CHN][]
- [760][JPN][Even senior alchemists beg to be taught by her, and the nobles]
- [760][CHN][]
- [761][JPN][that supported the monarchy kneel before her.]
- [761][CHN][]
- [762][JPN][Overwhelmed by her sheer presence, I forget to greet her and]
- [762][CHN][]
- [763][JPN][just stand there silently.]
- [763][CHN][]
- [764][JPN][「Who are you? You have business with me?」]
- [764][CHN][]
- [765][JPN][]
- [765][CHN][]
- [766][JPN][「Huh... No, I was summoned...」]
- [766][CHN][]
- [767][JPN][I didn't expect this, and completely come apart.]
- [767][CHN][]
- [768][JPN][「You have a request for me? In that case, please tell it to one]
- [768][CHN][]
- [769][JPN][of my employees.」]
- [769][CHN][]
- [770][JPN][「No, I'm...」]
- [770][CHN][]
- [771][JPN][I finally come to my senses and realize that she's testing me.]
- [771][CHN][]
- [772][JPN][I kneel down and bow deeply before her.]
- [772][CHN][]
- [773][JPN][]
- [773][CHN][]
- [774][JPN][「I finished my examination today. I am here to receive my]
- [774][CHN][]
- [775][JPN][license and become an alchemist of Yuidora.」]
- [775][CHN][]
- [776][JPN][「Your name?」]
- [776][CHN][]
- [777][JPN][「Wilfred Dion.」]
- [777][CHN][]
- [778][JPN][I manage to say it despite my dry mouth. That alone makes me]
- [778][CHN][]
- [779][JPN][feel relieved.]
- [779][CHN][]
- [780][JPN][「I see. I have heard of you. ]
- [780][CHN][]
- [781][JPN][Congratulations.」]
- [781][CHN][]
- [782][JPN][She smiles brightly, then her eyes narrow and pierce me.]
- [782][CHN][]
- [783][JPN][「You were late to arrive. And when you come here, introduce]
- [783][CHN][]
- [784][JPN][yourself immediately.」]
- [784][CHN][]
- [785][JPN][]
- [785][CHN][]
- [786][JPN][「Y-Yes... My apologies...」]
- [786][CHN][]
- [787][JPN][「Missing the appointed time is unforgivable. As an alchemist of]
- [787][CHN][]
- [788][JPN][Yuidora, please be aware of that.」]
- [788][CHN][]
- [789][JPN][]
- [789][CHN][]
- [790][JPN][「Yes...」]
- [790][CHN][]
- [791][JPN][At Rosanna's signal, an employee places a box in front of me.]
- [791][CHN][]
- [792][JPN][Before me is a beautiful sword with an embroidered crest, and a]
- [792][CHN][]
- [793][JPN][]
- [793][CHN][]
- [794][JPN][sturdy wooden signboard.]
- [794][CHN][]
- [795][JPN][They both bear the crest of the Alchemist Guild.]
- [795][CHN][]
- [796][JPN][「This is your license. Always keep it with you. It is also]
- [796][CHN][]
- [797][JPN][]
- [797][CHN][]
- [798][JPN][necessary to enter the managed areas.」]
- [798][CHN][]
- [799][JPN][]
- [799][CHN][]
- [800][JPN][「Display the sword and signboard where they can be easily seen]
- [800][CHN][]
- [801][JPN][]
- [801][CHN][]
- [802][JPN][as proof that you are formally certified.」]
- [802][CHN][]
- [803][JPN][]
- [803][CHN][]
- [804][JPN][I stare at the crest of the Alchemist Guild.]
- [804][CHN][]
- [805][JPN][I solemnly reach toward them. ]
- [805][CHN][]
- [806][JPN][My hands are trembling.]
- [806][CHN][]
- [807][JPN][]
- [807][CHN][]
- [808][JPN][「I graciously accept them.」]

- [813][CHN][]
- [814][JPN][ 『【Shop】Ornate Sword obtained.』]
- [814][CHN][]
- [815][JPN][I shiver as I touch it. I'm a full-fledged alchemist now.]
- [815][CHN][]
- [816][JPN][「Wilfred Dion. You have been accepted as a member of Yuidora's]
- [816][CHN][]
- [817][JPN][]

- [818][JPN][Alchemist Guild.」]
- [818][CHN][]
- [819][JPN][「Thank you very much.」]
- [819][CHN][]
- [820][JPN][I lower my head once more.]
- [820][CHN][]
- [821][JPN][「Stand.」]
- [821][CHN][]
- [822][JPN][I stand up right away as ordered. Rosanna looks into my eyes.]
- [822][CHN][]
- [823][JPN][「...As your lord, I have one question for you.」]
- [823][CHN][]
- [824][JPN][I swallow nervously.]
- [824][CHN][]
- [825][JPN][「What kind of alchemist do you want to be?」]
- [825][CHN][]
- [826][JPN][「What kind of... alchemist...?」]
- [826][CHN][]
- [827][JPN][I look at her in surprise. I'm not sure what to say or how I]
- [827][CHN][]
- [828][JPN][should answer her.]
- [828][CHN][]
- [829][JPN][I just say the words out loud as they appear in my mind.]
- [829][CHN][]
- [830][JPN][「A splendid alchemist. I want to develop new techniques and]
- [830][CHN][]
- [831][JPN][enlarge the workshop my parents left me.」]
- [831][CHN][]
- [832][JPN][「I see... Very well. You may leave.」]
- [832][CHN][]
- [833][JPN][Rosanna is curt. She looks like she's no longer interested in]
- [833][CHN][]
- [834][JPN][me.]
- [834][CHN][]
- [835][JPN][]
- [835][CHN][]
- [836][JPN][「Ah... I want to be a great alchemist to give back to Yuidora,]
- [836][CHN][]
- [837][JPN][]
- [837][CHN][]
- [838][JPN][and spread its name to the continent...」]
- [838][CHN][]
- [839][JPN][「I already said we were finished. Since we are done, go home.」]
- [839][CHN][]
- [840][JPN][Rosanna looks at me in annoyance.]
- [840][CHN][]
- [841][JPN][「...Excuse me.」]
- [841][CHN][]
- [842][JPN][I bow and quietly leave.]
- [842][CHN][]
- [843][JPN][Rosanna's question echoes in my mind.]
- [843][CHN][]
- [844][JPN][ 『What kind of alchemist do you want to be?』]
- [844][CHN][]
- [845][JPN][What I told her wasn't a lie, but there's still something not]
- [845][CHN][]
- [846][JPN][quite right about it.]
- [846][CHN][]
- [847][JPN][The alchemist I want to be... ]
- [847][CHN][]
- [848][JPN][The kind of workshop I want...]
- [848][CHN][]

- [849][CHN][]
- [850][JPN][「...Yeah...」]
- [850][CHN][]
- [851][JPN][「What's the matter? Shocked that you barely passed?」]
- [851][CHN][]
- [852][JPN][「No, it's not that... ]
- [852][CHN][]
- [853][JPN][]
- [853][CHN][]
- [854][JPN][Wait, I barely passed?」]
- [854][CHN][]
- [855][JPN][「Hmph. Don't think too highly of yourself.」]
- [855][CHN][]
- [856][JPN][「W-Whatever. I got my license. I just have to work hard now.」]
- [856][CHN][]
- [857][JPN][]
- [857][CHN][]
- [858][JPN][「Did she ask you that last year? About what kind of alchemist]
- [858][CHN][]
- [859][JPN][]
- [859][CHN][]
- [860][JPN][you want to be...」]
- [860][CHN][]
- [861][JPN][]
- [861][CHN][]
- [862][JPN][「Yeah, she asked me.」]
- [862][CHN][]
- [863][JPN][]
- [863][CHN][]
- [864][JPN][I thought so. She asks everybody when they become alchemists.]
- [864][CHN][]
- [865][JPN][「What'd you tell her?」]
- [865][CHN][]
- [866][JPN][「I was aiming to be the best. In other words, I was aiming for]
- [866][CHN][]
- [867][JPN][]
- [867][CHN][]
- [868][JPN][her position.」]
- [868][CHN][]
- [869][JPN][]
- [869][CHN][]
- [870][JPN][「Oh...? That sounds big, but... with her, it also sounds pretty]
- [870][CHN][]
- [871][JPN][normal.」]
- [871][CHN][]
- [872][JPN][「Yeah, it was normal. I regret it now.」]
- [872][CHN][]
- [873][JPN][「You should've said Meister... or something along those]
- [873][CHN][]
- [874][JPN][lines?」]
- [874][CHN][]
- [875][JPN][「Indeed, that is more lofty. However, I do not think that's the]
- [875][CHN][]
- [876][JPN][right goal for you.」]
- [876][CHN][]
- [877][JPN][Meister is the highest title given by the Alchemist Guild.]
- [877][CHN][]
- [878][JPN][But nobody's ever attained that title. Even a lord like Rosanna]
- [878][CHN][]
- [879][JPN][]
- [879][CHN][]
- [880][JPN][is beneath that. You could call it a hopeless dream.]
- [880][CHN][]
- [881][JPN][「Did you say that was what you were aiming for?」]
- [881][CHN][]
- [882][JPN][「No, I...」]
- [882][CHN][]
- [883][JPN][「So what do you want to do? ]
- [883][CHN][]
- [884][JPN][What is it that you want?」]
- [884][CHN][]
- [885][JPN][]
- [885][CHN][]
- [886][JPN][What I want to do...]
- [886][CHN][]
- [887][JPN][I just wanted to be an alchemist. ]
- [887][CHN][]
- [888][JPN][I never thought about that.]
- [888][CHN][]
- [889][JPN][]
- [889][CHN][]
- [890][JPN][I want that. My goal as an alchemist... happiness...]
- [890][CHN][]
- [891][JPN][What comes to my mind as I think is that I spent my childhood in]
- [891][CHN][]
- [892][JPN][that workshop.]
- [892][CHN][]
- [893][JPN][「...Wait for me. I forgot something.」]
- [893][CHN][]
- [894][JPN][]
- [894][CHN][]
- [895][JPN][I turn on my heels and rush back toward the lord's room.]
- [895][CHN][]
- [896][JPN][When my parents were alive, I saw people come to the workshop]
- [896][CHN][]
- [897][JPN][all the time.]
- [897][CHN][]
- [898][JPN][Everybody came when they were in trouble, and afterward, they]
- [898][CHN][]
- [899][JPN][smiled as they thanked my parents.]
- [899][CHN][]
- [900][JPN][I want to be an alchemist like them. I want to please my]
- [900][CHN][]
- [901][JPN][customers. I want to make them smile.]
- [901][CHN][]
- [902][JPN][That's the kind of alchemist I want to be.]
- [902][CHN][]
- [903][JPN][「Lady Rosanna! Please listen!」]
- [903][CHN][]
- [904][JPN][As soon as I step into her room, the guards rush at me and pin]
- [904][CHN][]
- [905][JPN][me down.]
- [905][CHN][]
- [906][JPN][「No, wait, I just wanted to say something. Um... Please listen]
- [906][CHN][]
- [907][JPN][]
- [907][CHN][]
- [908][JPN][to me!」]
- [908][CHN][]
- [909][JPN][「Stubborn, aren't we? ]
- [909][CHN][]
- [910][JPN][]
- [910][CHN][]
- [911][JPN][Throw him out.」]
- [911][CHN][]
- [912][JPN][The guards pinning me down begin dragging me toward the door.]
- [912][CHN][]
- [913][JPN][I want Rosanna to hear my decision no matter what and shout the]
- [913][CHN][]
- [914][JPN][]
- [914][CHN][]
- [915][JPN][entire time I'm being dragged.]
- [915][CHN][]
- [916][JPN][「Let go of me! Please, Ma'am! ]
- [916][CHN][]
- [917][JPN][I know the answer to the question you asked me!」]
- [917][CHN][]
- [918][JPN][「Wha...!?」]
- [918][CHN][]
- [919][JPN][Rosanna's expression freezes and she strides up to me.]
- [919][CHN][]
- [920][JPN][She grabs my chin while I'm still pinned down and lifts it.]
- [920][CHN][]
- [921][JPN][]
- [921][CHN][]
- [922][JPN][「If you have something to say, then say it. If it is stupid,]
- [922][CHN][]
- [923][JPN][you will be hung from the roof of this home.」]
- [923][CHN][]
- [924][JPN][「I want to be an alchemist that makes his customers happy. ]
- [924][CHN][]
- [925][JPN][I want to be useful to people in trouble.」]
- [925][CHN][]
- [926][JPN][]
- [926][CHN][]
- [927][JPN][「I want every customer that comes to my workshop to leave with]
- [927][CHN][]
- [928][JPN][]
- [928][CHN][]
- [929][JPN][a smile. That's the alchemist I want to be.」]
- [929][CHN][]
- [930][JPN][I declare that and watch Rosanna patiently.]
- [930][CHN][]
- [931][JPN][]
- [931][CHN][]
- [932][JPN][She stares at me for a moment, then I think I see a tiny smile]
- [932][CHN][]
- [933][JPN][flicker across her lips.]
- [933][CHN][]
- [934][JPN][「That is a better answer than before. ]
- [934][CHN][]
- [935][JPN][]
- [935][CHN][]
- [936][JPN][Very well, release him.」]
- [936][CHN][]
- [937][JPN][「Thank you very much. ]
- [937][CHN][]
- [938][JPN][]
- [938][CHN][]
- [939][JPN][Please, excuse me.」]
- [939][CHN][]
- [940][JPN][「Wait. Let me give you one order.」]
- [940][CHN][]
- [941][JPN][「Huh? An... order? I'm happy to accept it, but what is it?」]
- [941][CHN][]
- [942][JPN][ ]
- [942][CHN][]
- [943][JPN][ ]
- [943][CHN][]
- [944][JPN][ ]
- [944][CHN][]
- [945][JPN][「The next time you call me Ma'am, I will revoke your license.]
- [945][CHN][]
- [946][JPN][Remember that.」]
- [946][CHN][]
- [947][JPN][I kneel in panic and bow to her.]
- [947][CHN][]
- [948][JPN][「I-I humbly apologize... Um, well... You're about as old as my]
- [948][CHN][]
- [949][JPN][]
- [949][CHN][]
- [950][JPN][mother was, so I just...」]
- [950][CHN][]
- [951][JPN][I regretted that the moment it left my lips.]
- [951][CHN][]
- [952][JPN][「Leave immediately!」]
- [952][CHN][]
- [953][JPN][「E-Excuse me!」]
- [953][CHN][]
- [954][JPN][Leguna looks at me in shock as I race away from the manor.]
- [954][CHN][]
- [955][JPN][「What do you think you're doing? I don't want to be demoted]
- [955][CHN][]
- [956][JPN][because of you.」]
- [956][CHN][]
- [957][JPN][「Ah, don't worry, just doing something stupid... I think...」]
- [957][CHN][]
- [958][JPN][「But she's a really interesting person. I can't hate people]
- [958][CHN][]
- [959][JPN][like her.」]
- [959][CHN][]
- [960][JPN][]
- [960][CHN][]
- [961][JPN][「You're aiming for the big leagues.」]
- [961][CHN][]
- [962][JPN][「Thanks for the compliment. By the way, why haven't you]
- [962][CHN][]
- [963][JPN][congratulated me yet?」]
- [963][CHN][]
- [964][JPN][]
- [964][CHN][]
- [965][JPN][「I already said it. Are your ears just for show?」]
- [965][CHN][]
- [966][JPN][]
- [966][CHN][]
- [967][JPN][「No way! I didn't hear anything!」]
- [967][CHN][]
- [968][JPN][]
- [968][CHN][]
- [969][JPN][「Shut up. Stop making a commotion at the lord's workshop. It's]
- [969][CHN][]
- [970][JPN][]
- [970][CHN][]
- [971][JPN][unsightly.」]
- [971][CHN][]
- [972][JPN][「Er...」]
- [972][CHN][]
- [973][JPN][「Okay, let's go back. You need to figure out what to do from]
- [973][CHN][]
- [974][JPN][now on.」]
- [974][CHN][]
- [975][JPN][「Yeah.」]
- [975][CHN][]
- [976][JPN][We walk back to my workshop together.]
- [976][CHN][]
- [977][JPN][Once I'm home, I look around the workshop once again.]
- [977][CHN][]
- [978][JPN][It was larger when my parents were here, but it was reduced in]
- [978][CHN][]
- [979][JPN][size so that I could inherit it.]
- [979][CHN][]
- [980][JPN][The size of one's workshop is determined by their rank. There]
- [980][CHN][]
- [981][JPN][are strict laws regulating that.]
- [981][CHN][]
- [982][JPN][「Now then, you're going to have to manage this workshop by]
- [982][CHN][]
- [983][JPN][]
- [983][CHN][]
- [984][JPN][yourself from now on...」]
- [984][CHN][]
- [985][JPN][「You'll need rare and new materials in order to invent new]
- [985][CHN][]
- [986][JPN][]
- [986][CHN][]
- [987][JPN][items. I cannot help you personally search for those.」]
- [987][CHN][]
- [988][JPN][]
- [988][CHN][]
- [989][JPN][「But... and this may be difficult to hear, you still have a]
- [989][CHN][]
- [990][JPN][long way to go.」]
- [990][CHN][]
- [991][JPN][As I'd expect from my merciless friend.]
- [991][CHN][]
- [992][JPN][]
- [992][CHN][]
- [993][JPN][「You could still say it nicer. People have strengths and]
- [993][CHN][]
- [994][JPN][weaknesses, maybe I'm a late bloomer.」]
- [994][CHN][]
- [995][JPN][]
- [995][CHN][]
- [996][JPN][「You are aware of your current abilities, right? You don't seem]
- [996][CHN][]
- [997][JPN][to pick up on sarcasm very well.」]
- [997][CHN][]
- [998][JPN][「Back to the topic at hand... Anyway, if you do search, I]
- [998][CHN][]
- [999][JPN][wanted to remind you to hire a guard.」]
- [999][CHN][]
- [1000][JPN][]
- [1000][CHN][]
- [1001][JPN][「The problem is finding someone who would guard a completely]
- [1001][CHN][]
- [1002][JPN][unknown and amateur alchemist like you...」]
- [1002][CHN][]
- [1003][JPN][]
- [1003][CHN][]
- [1004][JPN][「How about I hire you?」]
- [1004][CHN][]
- [1005][JPN][「That would not be to either of our advantages. I believe that]
- [1005][CHN][]
- [1006][JPN][]
- [1006][CHN][]
- [1007][JPN][alchemists should be able to support themselves.」]
- [1007][CHN][]
- [1008][JPN][「I guess so...」]
- [1008][CHN][]
- [1009][JPN][He has his own work to do. And I came this far so that I would]
- [1009][CHN][]
- [1010][JPN][be able to work on my own.]
- [1010][CHN][]
- [1011][JPN][From now on, he's my rival. And I'm also competing with all the]
- [1011][CHN][]
- [1012][JPN][]
- [1012][CHN][]
- [1013][JPN][people that made Yuidora what it is today.]
- [1013][CHN][]
- [1014][JPN][「I got it. I'll take care of it myself.」]
- [1014][CHN][]
- [1015][JPN][「Finally, make sure to hang up your signboard. Do not forget]
- [1015][CHN][]
- [1016][JPN][that.」]
- [1016][CHN][]
- [1017][JPN][]
- [1017][CHN][]
- [1018][JPN][「Yes, sir. Thanks.」]
- [1018][CHN][]
- [1019][JPN][「See you later.」]
- [1019][CHN][]
- [1020][JPN][Leguna abruptly leaves my workshop.]
- [1020][CHN][]
- [1021][JPN][]
- [1021][CHN][]
- [1022][JPN][It's still a small workshop, and I'm just a novice alchemist.]
- [1022][CHN][]
- [1023][JPN][I have to sell goods, take requests, and enlarge my workshop]
- [1023][CHN][]
- [1024][JPN][quickly.]
- [1024][CHN][]
- [1025][JPN][That's the first step I have to take as an alchemist.]
- [1025][CHN][]
- [1026][JPN][First, I should hang up the signboard before I forget.]
- [1026][CHN][]
- [1027][JPN][This shows that I'm part of the Guild. If I don't hang it up, I]
- [1027][CHN][]
- [1028][JPN][]
- [1028][CHN][]
- [1029][JPN][can't run a workshop in Yuidora.]
- [1029][CHN][]
- [1030][JPN][Yuidora law is harsh on unauthorized workshops. I don't want to]
- [1030][CHN][]
- [1031][JPN][]
- [1031][CHN][]
- [1032][JPN][be involved in any kind of misunderstanding.]
- [1032][CHN][]
- [1033][JPN][It's just a small signboard now, but eventually I'll have one of]
- [1033][CHN][]
- [1034][JPN][the best in the city.]
- [1034][CHN][]
- [1035][JPN][First, display the sword in the store... Then I'll hang the]
- [1035][CHN][]
- [1036][JPN][]
- [1036][CHN][]
- [1037][JPN][signboard outside.]
- [1037][CHN][]
- [1038][JPN][「Okay, now where should I put it... Hm?」]
- [1038][CHN][]
- [1039][JPN][I sense somebody and turn around.]
- [1039][CHN][]
- [1040][JPN][「Oh, you're...」]
- [1040][CHN][]
- [1041][JPN][It's the swordswoman from earlier. She's looking into my]
- [1041][CHN][]
- [1042][JPN][workshop again.]
- [1042][CHN][]
- [1043][JPN][]
- [1043][CHN][]
- [1044][JPN][From her clothes, she looks like she's from Disnafrody in the]
- [1044][CHN][]
- [1045][JPN][east.]
- [1045][CHN][]
- [1046][JPN][「...You are the owner?」]
- [1046][CHN][]
- [1047][JPN][「Yeah, that's right. Can I help you?」]
- [1047][CHN][]
- [1048][JPN][]
- [1048][CHN][]
- [1049][JPN][「We will talk. I am coming in.」]
- [1049][CHN][]
- [1050][JPN][「All right. If you have a request, I can... H-Hey!」]
- [1050][CHN][]
- [1051][JPN][The girl suddenly pushes my chest and forces her way into my]
- [1051][CHN][]
- [1052][JPN][workshop.]
- [1052][CHN][]
- [1053][JPN][「What's the matter? Is it something urgent...?」]
- [1053][CHN][]
- [1054][JPN][She forces me onto my back and before I realize it, she has her]
- [1054][CHN][]
- [1055][JPN][]
- [1055][CHN][]
- [1056][JPN][sword drawn and is holding it in front of me.]
- [1056][CHN][]
- [1057][JPN][I hear her mantle fall onto the ground behind her and finally]
- [1057][CHN][]
- [1058][JPN][realize the situation.]
- [1058][CHN][]
- [1059][JPN][「H-Hold on a minute. You haven't even told me what you want.」]
- [1059][CHN][]
- [1060][JPN][]
- [1060][CHN][]
- [1061][JPN][I look at the sword right in front of me.]
- [1061][CHN][]
- [1062][JPN][「Huh? That sword...」]
- [1062][CHN][]
- [1063][JPN][The sword is shaped strangely, like an eastern one. She really]
- [1063][CHN][]
- [1064][JPN][is from Disnafrody.]
- [1064][CHN][]
- [1065][JPN][]
- [1065][CHN][]
- [1066][JPN][But there's also a sense of deja vu.]
- [1066][CHN][]
- [1067][JPN][To my surprise, the girl's eyes gleam.]
- [1067][CHN][]
- [1068][JPN][「...You recognize this sword?」]
- [1068][CHN][]
- [1069][JPN][「No, it's not that...」]
- [1069][CHN][]
- [1070][JPN][「You neck is forfeit if you do not answer honestly.」]
- [1070][CHN][]
- [1071][JPN][I swallow nervously.]
- [1071][CHN][]
- [1072][JPN][「I haven't seen this sword... but it's a Disnafrodian sword,]
- [1072][CHN][]
- [1073][JPN][right?」]
- [1073][CHN][]
- [1074][JPN][「Oh...? So you do understand some. Can you forge this sword?」]
- [1074][CHN][]
- [1075][JPN][]
- [1075][CHN][]
- [1076][JPN][I look at the sword pointed at me again.]
- [1076][CHN][]
- [1077][JPN][「In other words... You want me to reinforce your sword?」]
- [1077][CHN][]
- [1078][JPN][「That's right. You will work for me, or I will report you to]
- [1078][CHN][]
- [1079][JPN][the Alchemist Guild.」]
- [1079][CHN][]
- [1080][JPN][「Which will it be? Be arrested as an illegal alchemist, or]
- [1080][CHN][]
- [1081][JPN][]
- [1081][CHN][]
- [1082][JPN][cooperate with me?」]
- [1082][CHN][]
- [1083][JPN][「Illegal...? Me?」]
- [1083][CHN][]
- [1084][JPN][]
- [1084][CHN][]
- [1085][JPN][「Do not play stupid. I know that this is a black market]
- [1085][CHN][]
- [1086][JPN][workshop.」]
- [1086][CHN][]
- [1087][JPN][]
- [1087][CHN][]
- [1088][JPN][I get it. She thinks I'm unlicensed because I haven't hung up my]
- [1088][CHN][]
- [1089][JPN][signboard yet.]
- [1089][CHN][]
- [1090][JPN][But that's strange. This is nothing like what a black market]
- [1090][CHN][]
- [1091][JPN][workshop would be.]
- [1091][CHN][]
- [1092][JPN][That means...]
- [1092][CHN][]
- [1093][JPN][「You're a Disnafrodian swordsman? If you go on a rampage, I'll]
- [1093][CHN][]
- [1094][JPN][report you instead. First, lower your sword.」]
- [1094][CHN][]
- [1095][JPN][「Mm...」]
- [1095][CHN][]
- [1096][JPN][She doesn't lower her guard.]
- [1096][CHN][]
- [1097][JPN][「I'm not black market. My signboard's right there.」]
- [1097][CHN][]
- [1098][JPN][「I became an alchemist today. I was just about to hang up my]
- [1098][CHN][]
- [1099][JPN][signboard.」]
- [1099][CHN][]
- [1100][JPN][The girl glances at the signboard on the floor, then looks]
- [1100][CHN][]
- [1101][JPN][straight into my eyes.]
- [1101][CHN][]
- [1102][JPN][She accepts it as the truth and finally lowers her sword.]
- [1102][CHN][]
- [1103][JPN][「One question. Have you really not seen this sword?」]
- [1103][CHN][]
- [1104][JPN][I hesitate for a moment. I know I've seen it somewhere before.]
- [1104][CHN][]
- [1105][JPN][...But I can't remember where... I shake my head.]
- [1105][CHN][]
- [1106][JPN][「I haven't seen it. There aren't many genuine Disnafrodian]
- [1106][CHN][]
- [1107][JPN][]
- [1107][CHN][]
- [1108][JPN][swords in Yuidora, and even fewer that well-made...」]
- [1108][CHN][]
- [1109][JPN][「I see... I apologize for my rudeness. ]
- [1109][CHN][]
- [1110][JPN][Excuse me.」]
- [1110][CHN][]
- [1111][JPN][The girl turns around and quickly leaves my workshop.]
- [1111][CHN][]
- [1112][JPN][「Wait a minute! Wait! Wait! Wait!」]
- [1112][CHN][]
- [1113][JPN][I chase after her in a brief panic.]
- [1113][CHN][]
- [1114][JPN][]
- [1114][CHN][]
- [1115][JPN][「...What?」]
- [1115][CHN][]
- [1116][JPN][「You don't need to go, you know.」]
- [1116][CHN][]
- [1117][JPN][]
- [1117][CHN][]
- [1118][JPN][「We're finished.」]
- [1118][CHN][]
- [1119][JPN][]
- [1119][CHN][]
- [1120][JPN][「You came to make a request. Since you're already here, please]
- [1120][CHN][]
- [1121][JPN][]
- [1121][CHN][]
- [1122][JPN][tell me it.」]
- [1122][CHN][]
- [1123][JPN][「You cannot do it.」]
- [1123][CHN][]
- [1124][JPN][「Because I'm a rookie alchemist? But I underwent all the]
- [1124][CHN][]
- [1125][JPN][training. I should be able to reinforce your sword.」]
- [1125][CHN][]
- [1126][JPN][「You can do it?」]
- [1126][CHN][]
- [1127][JPN][She looks me over like she's judging me.]
- [1127][CHN][]
- [1128][JPN][Maybe I was a little hasty.]
- [1128][CHN][]
- [1129][JPN][]
- [1129][CHN][]
- [1130][JPN][Despite what I said, I've only ever handled swords made by]
- [1130][CHN][]
- [1131][JPN][Yuidora's style.]
- [1131][CHN][]
- [1132][JPN][Eastern swords use different materials and methods. I may really]
- [1132][CHN][]
- [1133][JPN][not be able to reinforce it that easily.]
- [1133][CHN][]
- [1134][JPN][What should I do then?]
- [1134][CHN][]
- [1135][JPN][Should I just send this customer away?]
- [1135][CHN][]
- [1136][JPN][She has to be in trouble. There's no other reason that she'd]
- [1136][CHN][]
- [1137][JPN][specifically target a black market workshop.]
- [1137][CHN][]
- [1138][JPN][I'm sure that there's a reason she's so unfriendly too.]
- [1138][CHN][]
- [1139][JPN][]
- [1139][CHN][]
- [1140][JPN][As I finish that thought, I think of something.]
- [1140][CHN][]
- [1141][JPN][]
- [1141][CHN][]
- [1142][JPN][「Please come with me for a minute.」]
- [1142][CHN][]
- [1143][JPN][I beckon her toward the door.]
- [1143][CHN][]
- [1144][JPN][「...Where are we going?」]
- [1144][CHN][]
- [1145][JPN][「I doubt I can fix it, but there is someone in Yuidora who can.]
- [1145][CHN][]
- [1146][JPN][I'll introduce you to her.」]
- [1146][CHN][]
- [1147][JPN][「Unnecessary.」]
- [1147][CHN][]
- [1148][JPN][「But, you need it done, right?」]
- [1148][CHN][]
- [1149][JPN][「...」]
- [1149][CHN][]
- [1150][JPN][]
- [1150][CHN][]
- [1151][JPN][She shuts her mouth and follows after me.]
- [1151][CHN][]
- [1152][JPN][I was right, she does need it.]
- [1152][CHN][]
- [1153][JPN][We walk through the streets.]
- [1153][CHN][]
- [1154][JPN][She follows after me, being very careful to not draw attention.]
- [1154][CHN][]
- [1155][JPN][]
- [1155][CHN][]
- [1156][JPN][I stop in front of Rosanna's workshop.]
- [1156][CHN][]
- [1157][JPN][If it's an eastern weapon, then Rosanna is the one to ask. I]
- [1157][CHN][]
- [1158][JPN][know that she'll be able to reinforce her sword.]
- [1158][CHN][]
- [1159][JPN][「Here we are, okay...」]
- [1159][CHN][]
- [1160][JPN][When I turn around, she's gone.]
- [1160][CHN][]
- [1161][JPN][]
- [1161][CHN][]
- [1162][JPN][「Huh? Hey, where'd you go? Heeey...!」]
- [1162][CHN][]
- [1163][JPN][]
- [1163][CHN][]
- [1164][JPN][I look around and finally find her hiding in the edge of an]
- [1164][CHN][]
- [1165][JPN][]
- [1165][CHN][]
- [1166][JPN][alley.]
- [1166][CHN][]
- [1167][JPN][「What are you doing? Don't you need your sword reinforced?」]
- [1167][CHN][]
- [1168][JPN][「This is our lords' workshop. It's the best in the city and she]
- [1168][CHN][]
- [1169][JPN][knows eastern techniques. I'm sure she can help you.」]
- [1169][CHN][]
- [1170][JPN][She stubbornly stays where she is.]
- [1170][CHN][]
- [1171][JPN][「Is there some reason...?」]
- [1171][CHN][]
- [1172][JPN][Then I realize it. She was looking for a black market workshop.]
- [1172][CHN][]
- [1173][JPN][]
- [1173][CHN][]
- [1174][JPN][Maybe there's a reason she doesn't want to attract attention.]
- [1174][CHN][]
- [1175][JPN][「I got it. I'll go, so will you let me borrow your sword?」]
- [1175][CHN][]
- [1176][JPN][「...」]
- [1176][CHN][]
- [1177][JPN][]
- [1177][CHN][]
- [1178][JPN][I reach out my hand to her. She steps back, and holds her sword]
- [1178][CHN][]
- [1179][JPN][]
- [1179][CHN][]
- [1180][JPN][close to her.]
- [1180][CHN][]
- [1181][JPN][I guess she doesn't want to give it to me. She doesn't even want]
- [1181][CHN][]
- [1182][JPN][others to touch it.]
- [1182][CHN][]
- [1183][JPN][]
- [1183][CHN][]
- [1184][JPN][「...I understand. Then wait here. I'll go ask for you.」]
- [1184][CHN][]
- [1185][JPN][「Ah, I need to know one thing first. How do you want the sword]
- [1185][CHN][]
- [1186][JPN][]
- [1186][CHN][]
- [1187][JPN][reinforced?」]
- [1187][CHN][]
- [1188][JPN][「Its magic is lost. I want it recovered.」]
- [1188][CHN][]
- [1189][JPN][]
- [1189][CHN][]
- [1190][JPN][「Understood. I'll go talk to her.」]
- [1190][CHN][]
- [1191][JPN][「Ah...」]
- [1191][CHN][]
- [1192][JPN][I leave her there and enter the lord's workshop alone.]
- [1192][CHN][]
- [1193][JPN][As I look around the area, one of her employees promptly comes]
- [1193][CHN][]
- [1194][JPN][to see me.]
- [1194][CHN][]
- [1195][JPN][I told him about my business and he called for Rosanna.]
- [1195][CHN][]
- [1196][JPN][]
- [1196][CHN][]
- [1197][JPN][After waiting for a few minutes, she came to see me.]
- [1197][CHN][]
- [1198][JPN][「Thank you for waiting. Oh...? You still have more to say?」]
- [1198][CHN][]
- [1199][JPN][「No. This time I have a small favor to ask.」]
- [1199][CHN][]
- [1200][JPN][I look around the room again.]
- [1200][CHN][]
- [1201][JPN][I find the eastern sword I saw before on the wall and point]
- [1201][CHN][]
- [1202][JPN][]
- [1202][CHN][]
- [1203][JPN][toward it.]
- [1203][CHN][]
- [1204][JPN][「Ah, I knew it. It looks like that sword. I knew I had seen it]
- [1204][CHN][]
- [1205][JPN][]
- [1205][CHN][]
- [1206][JPN][before.」]
- [1206][CHN][]
- [1207][JPN][It's very different now that I take a good look, but the shape]
- [1207][CHN][]
- [1208][JPN][and design feel similar.]
- [1208][CHN][]
- [1209][JPN][That girl's sword is definitely Disnafrodian. Rosanna should be]
- [1209][CHN][]
- [1210][JPN][]
- [1210][CHN][]
- [1211][JPN][able to handle it easily.]
- [1211][CHN][]
- [1212][JPN][「...You recognize that sword?」]
- [1212][CHN][]
- [1213][JPN][Rosanna suspiciously steps up next to me.]
- [1213][CHN][]
- [1214][JPN][「Lady Rosanna, are you able to add magic to a Disnafrodian]
- [1214][CHN][]
- [1215][JPN][]
- [1215][CHN][]
- [1216][JPN][sword like that?」]
- [1216][CHN][]
- [1217][JPN][「It is technically possible, but without seeing the sword, I]
- [1217][CHN][]
- [1218][JPN][cannot say anything. Which sword exactly?」]
- [1218][CHN][]
- [1219][JPN][]
- [1219][CHN][]
- [1220][JPN][「I do not currently have it. Did you make this sword?」]
- [1220][CHN][]
- [1221][JPN][「It was forged in our workshop using eastern techniques.」]
- [1221][CHN][]
- [1222][JPN][]
- [1222][CHN][]
- [1223][JPN][「And how much does it cost to do that?」]
- [1223][CHN][]
- [1224][JPN][「That depends on the quality, but it would be approximately]
- [1224][CHN][]
- [1225][JPN][20,000S.」]
- [1225][CHN][]
- [1226][JPN][I almost faint when I hear the cost.]
- [1226][CHN][]
- [1227][JPN][「Special materials and techniques are used. That is why its]
- [1227][CHN][]
- [1228][JPN][cost is high.」]
- [1228][CHN][]
- [1229][JPN][]
- [1229][CHN][]
- [1230][JPN][「I see. I guess you're right...」]
- [1230][CHN][]
- [1231][JPN][I don't think that girl has any money at all.]
- [1231][CHN][]
- [1232][JPN][She probably knew that too, which is why she came to a novice's]
- [1232][CHN][]
- [1233][JPN][]
- [1233][CHN][]
- [1234][JPN][workshop like mine.]
- [1234][CHN][]
- [1235][JPN][]
- [1235][CHN][]
- [1236][JPN][「We can do it, but if you are an alchemist, why not challenge]
- [1236][CHN][]
- [1237][JPN][yourself?」]
- [1237][CHN][]
- [1238][JPN][]
- [1238][CHN][]
- [1239][JPN][「...I don't think I have any other choice. Thank you very]
- [1239][CHN][]
- [1240][JPN][much.」]
- [1240][CHN][]
- [1241][JPN][]
- [1241][CHN][]
- [1242][JPN][「Please come again.」]
- [1242][CHN][]
- [1243][JPN][Her employees see me out of her workshop.]
- [1243][CHN][]
- [1244][JPN][The girl is still waiting for me in the alley.]
- [1244][CHN][]
- [1245][JPN][She watches me patiently as I walk up. She's probably expecting]
- [1245][CHN][]
- [1246][JPN][]
- [1246][CHN][]
- [1247][JPN][good news.]
- [1247][CHN][]
- [1248][JPN][But her face turns cloudy.]
- [1248][CHN][]
- [1249][JPN][She sees that I'm discouraged and realizes how it went.]
- [1249][CHN][]
- [1250][JPN][]
- [1250][CHN][]
- [1251][JPN][「It's technically possible, but it'll cost a lot of money. Do]
- [1251][CHN][]
- [1252][JPN][you want to know how much?」]
- [1252][CHN][]
- [1253][JPN][「Yeah.」]
- [1253][CHN][]
- [1254][JPN][I tell her.]
- [1254][CHN][]
- [1255][JPN][]
- [1255][CHN][]
- [1256][JPN][She closes her eyes for a moment, then gives a slight nod.]
- [1256][CHN][]
- [1257][JPN][「I have no choice. I must do it with my own strength.」]
- [1257][CHN][]
- [1258][JPN][We quietly walk back to my workshop.]
- [1258][CHN][]
- [1259][JPN][「Sorry for dragging you around. It didn't get anything]
- [1259][CHN][]
- [1260][JPN][]
- [1260][CHN][]
- [1261][JPN][done...」]
- [1261][CHN][]
- [1262][JPN][「No... I am grateful for your assistance.」]
- [1262][CHN][]
- [1263][JPN][「Oh yeah. I didn't catch your name. I'm Wil. You?」]
- [1263][CHN][]
- [1264][JPN][「...Yuela.」]
- [1264][CHN][]
- [1265][JPN][「Yuela? Are you a swordsman?」]
- [1265][CHN][]
- [1266][JPN][]
- [1266][CHN][]
- [1267][JPN][「That's right.」]
- [1267][CHN][]
- [1268][JPN][「Hey, this is just a suggestion, but is it okay if I take on]
- [1268][CHN][]
- [1269][JPN][your request to recover your sword's magic?」]
- [1269][CHN][]
- [1270][JPN][「I'm still a novice, but if I research it, I think I can do]
- [1270][CHN][]
- [1271][JPN][it.」]
- [1271][CHN][]
- [1272][JPN][Yuela closes her eyes and quietly thinks.]
- [1272][CHN][]
- [1273][JPN][「Leave it to me. I promise I'll take care of it.」]
- [1273][CHN][]
- [1274][JPN][]
- [1274][CHN][]
- [1275][JPN][「...Impossible.」]
- [1275][CHN][]
- [1276][JPN][「How can you be so sure? I'm an alchemist of Yuidora, nothing's]
- [1276][CHN][]
- [1277][JPN][impossible.」]
- [1277][CHN][]
- [1278][JPN][「And it's my job to help people like you.」]
- [1278][CHN][]
- [1279][JPN][「My problem is not your problem.」]
- [1279][CHN][]
- [1280][JPN][]
- [1280][CHN][]
- [1281][JPN][「Um... What do you mean by that?」]
- [1281][CHN][]
- [1282][JPN][]
- [1282][CHN][]
- [1283][JPN][Yuela hesitates.]
- [1283][CHN][]
- [1284][JPN][Her eyes search the air like she's embarrassed as I watch]
- [1284][CHN][]
- [1285][JPN][patiently, then she finally speaks again.]
- [1285][CHN][]
- [1286][JPN][「...Naught comes from naught.」]
- [1286][CHN][]
- [1287][JPN][「Huh? Um, what's that mean? ]
- [1287][CHN][]
- [1288][JPN][Is that a proverb from your country?」]
- [1288][CHN][]
- [1289][JPN][「It means that I have nothing to give.」]
- [1289][CHN][]
- [1290][JPN][「Give...? Ah, you mean money?」]
- [1290][CHN][]
- [1291][JPN][「Do not make me repeat myself.」]
- [1291][CHN][]
- [1292][JPN][Yuela's cheeks tinge red in embarrassment, making her look more]
- [1292][CHN][]
- [1293][JPN][]
- [1293][CHN][]
- [1294][JPN][feminine.]
- [1294][CHN][]
- [1295][JPN][「What? You don't need to worry about that.」]
- [1295][CHN][]
- [1296][JPN][She's sulking and has gone quiet. I can't just tell her that I]
- [1296][CHN][]
- [1297][JPN][don't want any compensation.]
- [1297][CHN][]
- [1298][JPN][If I let her leave, what's she going to do?]
- [1298][CHN][]
- [1299][JPN][]
- [1299][CHN][]
- [1300][JPN][She'd go looking for another black market workshop, and maybe]
- [1300][CHN][]
- [1301][JPN][get caught by the Guild. She'll get into real trouble.]
- [1301][CHN][]
- [1302][JPN][And I want her desire to have her sword reinforced fulfilled.]
- [1302][CHN][]
- [1303][JPN][Even if I won't see her again, I know that she'll still be in]
- [1303][CHN][]
- [1304][JPN][trouble.]
- [1304][CHN][]
- [1305][JPN][If I let her leave my workshop looking like this, why did I]
- [1305][CHN][]
- [1306][JPN][]
- [1306][CHN][]
- [1307][JPN][become an alchemist in the first place?]
- [1307][CHN][]
- [1308][JPN][]
- [1308][CHN][]
- [1309][JPN][I finally think of something.]
- [1309][CHN][]
- [1310][JPN][「I know. How about you work as my guard instead of paying for]
- [1310][CHN][]
- [1311][JPN][your sword? I was about to go looking for one.」]
- [1311][CHN][]
- [1312][JPN][「Your guard...?」]
- [1312][CHN][]
- [1313][JPN][「Yeah. You can do it as a swordsman, right? When I go exploring]
- [1313][CHN][]
- [1314][JPN][for materials or for requests, I'll need your help.」]
- [1314][CHN][]
- [1315][JPN][「...As an alchemist, you'll go to areas managed by the]
- [1315][CHN][]
- [1316][JPN][]
- [1316][CHN][]
- [1317][JPN][Alchemist Guild?」]
- [1317][CHN][]
- [1318][JPN][「Yeah. That's where the best materials are, and the only places]
- [1318][CHN][]
- [1319][JPN][where you can find a lot of them.」]
- [1319][CHN][]
- [1320][JPN][]
- [1320][CHN][]
- [1321][JPN][Yuela's eyes sparkle for a moment.]
- [1321][CHN][]
- [1322][JPN][「...That's not bad.」]
- [1322][CHN][]
- [1323][JPN][She mutters quietly, then smiles.]
- [1323][CHN][]
- [1324][JPN][「Okay, contract approved!」]
- [1324][CHN][]
- [1325][JPN][ 『New Quest: Yuela's Sword』]
- [1325][CHN][]
- [1326][JPN][『Quests are recorded on the information screen for future reference.』]
- [1326][CHN][]
- [1327][JPN][]
- [1327][CHN][]
- [1328][JPN][I happily reach out my hand to her.]
- [1328][CHN][]
- [1329][JPN][]
- [1329][CHN][]
- [1330][JPN][「Pleased to be working with you.」]
- [1330][CHN][]
- [1331][JPN][]
- [1331][CHN][]
- [1332][JPN][Yuela suspiciously looks at my outstretched hand.]
- [1332][CHN][]
- [1333][JPN][「Huh... They don't do that over there? It's a kind of greeting]
- [1333][CHN][]
- [1334][JPN][]
- [1334][CHN][]
- [1335][JPN][for agreements. You shake each other's hand.」]
- [1335][CHN][]
- [1336][JPN][「...There is no such custom.」]
- [1336][CHN][]
- [1337][JPN][]
- [1337][CHN][]
- [1338][JPN][Yuela still doesn't take my hand.]
- [1338][CHN][]
- [1339][JPN][ 『Yuela joins the party.』]
- [1339][CHN][]
- [1340][JPN][「Then call me when you need me.」]
- [1340][CHN][]
- [1341][JPN][She turns away from me and begins to leave.]
- [1341][CHN][]
- [1342][JPN][]
- [1342][CHN][]
- [1343][JPN][「Wait. Where are you staying?」]
- [1343][CHN][]
- [1344][JPN][「I haven't decided.」]
- [1344][CHN][]
- [1345][JPN][「Then how about staying with me? Nobody else is here.」]
- [1345][CHN][]
- [1346][JPN][「Wha!? W-W-What are you saying? I-I-I cannot live under the]
- [1346][CHN][]
- [1347][JPN][same roof as a man!」]
- [1347][CHN][]
- [1348][JPN][「Y-You surprised me... ]
- [1348][CHN][]
- [1349][JPN][Don't yell so suddenly.」]
- [1349][CHN][]
- [1350][JPN][「I am the one that was surprised. Never suggest such a thing to]
- [1350][CHN][]
- [1351][JPN][me ever again! Understand!?」]
- [1351][CHN][]
- [1352][JPN][She begins walking off angrily, but hesitates and looks back.]
- [1352][CHN][]
- [1353][JPN][「I will come here every day. When I do, tell me your]
- [1353][CHN][]
- [1354][JPN][schedule.」]
- [1354][CHN][]
- [1355][JPN][]
- [1355][CHN][]
- [1356][JPN][「Yeah, got it.」]
- [1356][CHN][]
- [1357][JPN][Yuela quickly leaves. I'm alone in my workshop again.]
- [1357][CHN][]
- [1358][JPN][I unexpectedly found a guard. This really is the start of my]
- [1358][CHN][]
- [1359][JPN][workshop.]
- [1359][CHN][]
- [1360][JPN][In Yuidora, alchemists work hard day in and day out with a gleam]
- [1360][CHN][]
- [1361][JPN][in their eyes.]
- [1361][CHN][]
- [1362][JPN][Every day, alchemists watch each other while jealously guarding]
- [1362][CHN][]
- [1363][JPN][]
- [1363][CHN][]
- [1364][JPN][their own techniques. A world where it's eat or be eaten.]
- [1364][CHN][]
- [1365][JPN][I stepped out into that world today.]
- [1365][CHN][]
- [1366][JPN][Tomorrow, I'm doing my best!]
- [1366][CHN][]
- [1367][JPN][Okay, today's my first day.]
- [1367][CHN][]
- [1368][JPN][]
- [1368][CHN][]
- [1369][JPN][I have a guard now. Next I need to manage my workshop...]
- [1369][CHN][]
- [1370][JPN][In the morning, the bell at the door rings just as I finish]
- [1370][CHN][]
- [1371][JPN][]
- [1371][CHN][]
- [1372][JPN][breakfast.]
- [1372][CHN][]
- [1373][JPN][「Hello! Welcome!」]
- [1373][CHN][]
- [1374][JPN][]
- [1374][CHN][]
- [1375][JPN][「...You again. I thought it'd be a customer this time.」]
- [1375][CHN][]
- [1376][JPN][「I'm so sorry to disappoint you. You won't have any customers]
- [1376][CHN][]
- [1377][JPN][yet looking like this.」]
- [1377][CHN][]
- [1378][JPN][「Not yet, not yet. ]
- [1378][CHN][]
- [1379][JPN][Ah, that's right. I found a guard.」]
- [1379][CHN][]
- [1380][JPN][「Oh? That was fast. If you're not that confident, might I]
- [1380][CHN][]
- [1381][JPN][suggest hiring another?」]
- [1381][CHN][]
- [1382][JPN][He still spits out the vitriol like it's nothing.]
- [1382][CHN][]
- [1383][JPN][「You're still a beginner. You need an instructor like me to]
- [1383][CHN][]
- [1384][JPN][teach you common sense.」]
- [1384][CHN][]
- [1385][JPN][「You've just got one year on me. But you're probably right...]
- [1385][CHN][]
- [1386][JPN][I'll think about it.」]
- [1386][CHN][]
- [1387][JPN][「I think you should pay your respects to the people in the]
- [1387][CHN][]
- [1388][JPN][]
- [1388][CHN][]
- [1389][JPN][city. You might even pick up a few requests.」]
- [1389][CHN][]
- [1390][JPN][「You're right. I'll go see them now.」]
- [1390][CHN][]
- [1391][JPN][]
- [1391][CHN][]
- [1392][JPN][「Excuse me then.」]
- [1392][CHN][]
- [1393][JPN][]
- [1393][CHN][]

- [1660][CHN][]
- [1661][JPN][「This is just my opinion... but if it is related, wouldn't the]
- [1661][CHN][]
- [1662][JPN][]
- [1662][CHN][]
- [1663][JPN][Alchemist Guild have noticed it?」]
- [1663][CHN][]
- [1664][JPN][「Indeed... Because of that incident, the Guild would take]
- [1664][CHN][]
- [1665][JPN][special precautions...」]
- [1665][CHN][]
- [1666][JPN][It's hard to imagine that reaper was behind the incident from a]
- [1666][CHN][]
- [1667][JPN][]
- [1667][CHN][]
- [1668][JPN][year ago.]
- [1668][CHN][]
- [1669][JPN][But I wonder if it's really completely unrelated.]
- [1669][CHN][]
- [1670][JPN][「You know a lot, Emelita. Who told you all this?」]
- [1670][CHN][]
- [1671][JPN][]
- [1671][CHN][]
- [1672][JPN][It was a very internal matter. If my parents weren't alchemists,]
- [1672][CHN][]
- [1673][JPN][I wouldn't have known about it at all.]
- [1673][CHN][]
- [1674][JPN][Maybe she's close to someone who works in a workshop.]
- [1674][CHN][]
- [1675][JPN][「E-Everybody in Yuidora knows about it. More importantly,]
- [1675][CHN][]
- [1676][JPN][shouldn't we tell the Guild?」]
- [1676][CHN][]
- [1677][JPN][「You're right. It would be best if we informed them about what]
- [1677][CHN][]
- [1678][JPN][]
- [1678][CHN][]
- [1679][JPN][happened.」]
- [1679][CHN][]
- [1680][JPN][]
- [1680][CHN][]
- [1681][JPN][「Besides the Guild, we should share what we know about it at]
- [1681][CHN][]
- [1682][JPN][the bar.」]
- [1682][CHN][]
- [1683][JPN][「If other people have run into it too, then information might]
- [1683][CHN][]
- [1684][JPN][already be starting to spread.」]
- [1684][CHN][]
- [1685][JPN][「That's right. I'll ask about it at the bar later.」]
- [1685][CHN][]
- [1686][JPN][「I'd rather not run into her again.」]
- [1686][CHN][]
- [1687][JPN][「I wonder. Don't you think everybody'll be trying to defeat her]
- [1687][CHN][]
- [1688][JPN][once they know about her?」]
- [1688][CHN][]
- [1689][JPN][]
- [1689][CHN][]
- [1690][JPN][「I don't think that we can beat her yet. It's best if we don't]
- [1690][CHN][]
- [1691][JPN][]
- [1691][CHN][]
- [1692][JPN][run into her again...」]
- [1692][CHN][]
- [1693][JPN][]
- [1693][CHN][]
- [1694][JPN][「But it's really fun to think about the day that we can.」]
- [1694][CHN][]
- [1695][JPN][]
- [1695][CHN][]
- [1696][JPN][Many alchemists are also ambitious and aggressive. If they know]
- [1696][CHN][]
- [1697][JPN][]
- [1697][CHN][]
- [1698][JPN][of a challenge, they'll try to overcome it.]
- [1698][CHN][]
- [1699][JPN][]
- [1699][CHN][]
- [1700][JPN][Of course, many alchemists don't like to fight. They think about]
- [1700][CHN][]
- [1701][JPN][nothing but creating things. On the other hand...]
- [1701][CHN][]
- [1702][JPN][If there's a monster causing problems, there are a lot of people]
- [1702][CHN][]
- [1703][JPN][who'll try to take care of it.]
- [1703][CHN][]
- [1704][JPN][「I'll consider taking that on as a request. Let's go back now.]
- [1704][CHN][]
- [1705][JPN][]
- [1705][CHN][]
- [1706][JPN][Servalwi, would you like to come to my workshop with us?」]
- [1706][CHN][]
- [1707][JPN][「Is that all right?」]
- [1707][CHN][]
- [1708][JPN][「I'll make dinner for you as thanks.」]
- [1708][CHN][]
- [1709][JPN][]
- [1709][CHN][]
- [1710][JPN][「Eh? You're going to cook dinner!?」]
- [1710][CHN][]
- [1711][JPN][Emelita comes up to me with her eyes sparkling.]
- [1711][CHN][]
- [1712][JPN][]
- [1712][CHN][]
- [1713][JPN][「I'm confident that I can whip something up. My mother was a]
- [1713][CHN][]
- [1714][JPN][good teacher.」]
- [1714][CHN][]
- [1715][JPN][]
- [1715][CHN][]
- [1716][JPN][「That sounds wonderful. I shall accept your invitation.」]
- [1716][CHN][]
- [1717][JPN][「I want to come too! Let's all eat together!」]
- [1717][CHN][]
- [1718][JPN][]
- [1718][CHN][]
- [1719][JPN][「Yeah, let's.」]
- [1719][CHN][]
- [1720][JPN][「...」]
- [1720][CHN][]
- [1721][JPN][]
- [1721][CHN][]
- [1722][JPN][「What's wrong, Yuela?」]
- [1722][CHN][]
- [1723][JPN][「...You're easy-going.」]
- [1723][CHN][]
- [1724][JPN][I couldn't hear her and look in confusion.]
- [1724][CHN][]
- [1725][JPN][「You should come too, Yuela. You'll get to taste some Yuidora]
- [1725][CHN][]
- [1726][JPN][home cooking.」]
- [1726][CHN][]
- [1727][JPN][]
- [1727][CHN][]
- [1728][JPN][「...」]
- [1728][CHN][]
- [1729][JPN][]
- [1729][CHN][]
- [1730][JPN][「Dinner♪ Dinner♪ Tummy's rumbling♪ ]
- [1730][CHN][]
- [1731][JPN][]
- [1731][CHN][]
- [1732][JPN][What're you making? Rabbit stew with wine?」]
- [1732][CHN][]
- [1733][JPN][「Well, it's my treat, but I can still only do so much with my]
- [1733][CHN][]
- [1734][JPN][budget.」]
- [1734][CHN][]
- [1735][JPN][「Wil's still a rookie alchemist♪」]
- [1735][CHN][]
- [1736][JPN][Emelita keeps teasing me as we walk back.]
- [1736][CHN][]
- [1737][JPN][「Ahaha. This will be a fun dinner.」]
- [1737][CHN][]
- [1738][JPN][「Okay, everybody, eat up!」]
- [1738][CHN][]
- [1739][JPN][I spread a sheet on the yard behind the workshop and put down]
- [1739][CHN][]
- [1740][JPN][the plates as I call the others over.]
- [1740][CHN][]
- [1741][JPN][「Thank you! Nmm...mmm...mmm... It's good... I'm surprised you]
- [1741][CHN][]
- [1742][JPN][]
- [1742][CHN][]
- [1743][JPN][can cook, Wil.」]
- [1743][CHN][]
- [1744][JPN][「Oh my. It really is delicious.」]
- [1744][CHN][]
- [1745][JPN][「Don't hold back. There's more too.」]
- [1745][CHN][]
- [1746][JPN][「...Thank you.」]
- [1746][CHN][]
- [1747][JPN][Yuela claps her hands together over her plate, bows her head,]
- [1747][CHN][]
- [1748][JPN][and takes out a slender box.]
- [1748][CHN][]
- [1749][JPN][She takes two thin, exquisitely carved wooden sticks out and]
- [1749][CHN][]
- [1750][JPN][skillfully uses them to reach toward her food.]
- [1750][CHN][]
- [1751][JPN][She uses them to cut her meat and potatoes, as well as carry the]
- [1751][CHN][]
- [1752][JPN][food to her mouth, all without touching her fork or knife.]
- [1752][CHN][]
- [1753][JPN][I've never seen anybody eat so nimbly before. I'm not entirely]
- [1753][CHN][]
- [1754][JPN][sure how she does it.]
- [1754][CHN][]
- [1755][JPN][Emelita and Servalwi are both using a knife and fork like me.]
- [1755][CHN][]
- [1756][JPN][「Emelita, you use a knife and fork very well.」]
- [1756][CHN][]
- [1757][JPN][「Eh? Really? I was taught to eat properly ever since I was]
- [1757][CHN][]
- [1758][JPN][]
- [1758][CHN][]
- [1759][JPN][little.」]
- [1759][CHN][]
- [1760][JPN][「Please teach me. I want to learn the customs of the human]
- [1760][CHN][]
- [1761][JPN][]
- [1761][CHN][]
- [1762][JPN][world.」]
- [1762][CHN][]
- [1763][JPN][「Okay. Heehee. Do you need me to teach you too, Wil?」]
- [1763][CHN][]
- [1764][JPN][]
- [1764][CHN][]
- [1765][JPN][「I can handle myself. My mom was pretty strict too.」]
- [1765][CHN][]
- [1766][JPN][Emelita keeps chattering every moment that she doesn't have food]
- [1766][CHN][]
- [1767][JPN][in her mouth.]
- [1767][CHN][]
- [1768][JPN][Servalwi nods as she listens.]
- [1768][CHN][]
- [1769][JPN][The three of them are different, but they all look happy and]
- [1769][CHN][]
- [1770][JPN][satisfied as they enjoy their meal together.]
- [1770][CHN][]
- [1771][JPN][「I knew eating dinner together was a good idea.」]
- [1771][CHN][]
- [1772][JPN][「It was. It's been a long time since I had a meal like this.」]
- [1772][CHN][]
- [1773][JPN][]
- [1773][CHN][]
- [1774][JPN][「Yep. We don't need to be formal. Just a group of people]
- [1774][CHN][]
- [1775][JPN][happily eating and talking together. Just like a dream.」]
- [1775][CHN][]
- [1776][JPN][「...」]
- [1776][CHN][]
- [1777][JPN][]
- [1777][CHN][]
- [1778][JPN][Yuela doesn't join our conversation. She just keeps quietly]
- [1778][CHN][]
- [1779][JPN][]
- [1779][CHN][]
- [1780][JPN][eating.]
- [1780][CHN][]
- [1781][JPN][]
- [1781][CHN][]
- [1782][JPN][「By the way, I wanted to ask you something, Servalwi.」]
- [1782][CHN][]
- [1783][JPN][「Er, I almost bite my tongue whenever I say your name... Sorry,]
- [1783][CHN][]
- [1784][JPN][but do you have a nickname? What do people normally call you?」]
- [1784][CHN][]
- [1785][JPN][]
- [1785][CHN][]
- [1786][JPN][「No, as far as that... I'm called in the wind 'Dream of a]
- [1786][CHN][]
- [1787][JPN][Drifting Gemseed', but that's not like a nickname.」]
- [1787][CHN][]
- [1788][JPN][「I see. Okay then... Can I call you Serawi?」]
- [1788][CHN][]
- [1789][JPN][「Serawi...?」]
- [1789][CHN][]
- [1790][JPN][「Sorry. You don't like it?」]
- [1790][CHN][]
- [1791][JPN][「Ah, not at all. I'm quite happy...」]
- [1791][CHN][]
- [1792][JPN][「It's my first gift from a human... It will surely become a]
- [1792][CHN][]
- [1793][JPN][treasured memory.」]
- [1793][CHN][]
- [1794][JPN][]
- [1794][CHN][]
- [1795][JPN][She clasps her hands against her chest and smiles... like she]
- [1795][CHN][]
- [1796][JPN][just received something precious.]
- [1796][CHN][]
- [1797][JPN][I'm glad she likes her nickname so much. It's making me happy]
- [1797][CHN][]
- [1798][JPN][too.]
- [1798][CHN][]
- [1799][JPN][Finding happiness in every change, and wrapping others in it. I]
- [1799][CHN][]
- [1800][JPN][]
- [1800][CHN][]
- [1801][JPN][feel like I've seen a glimpse of elven warmth.]
- [1801][CHN][]
- [1802][JPN][「Please, by all means, call me Serawi. It will be a pleasure.」]
- [1802][CHN][]
- [1803][JPN][「Thank you. Okay, I will from now on.」]
- [1803][CHN][]
- [1804][JPN][「You two as well. We are friends, so please talk to me using]
- [1804][CHN][]
- [1805][JPN][that name.」]
- [1805][CHN][]
- [1806][JPN][「Yep. I got it, Serawi.」]
- [1806][CHN][]
- [1807][JPN][「...」]
- [1807][CHN][]
- [1808][JPN][]
- [1808][CHN][]
- [1809][JPN][「So, what is it?」]
- [1809][CHN][]
- [1810][JPN][]
- [1810][CHN][]
- [1811][JPN][「Serawi, why did you come to Yuidora?」]
- [1811][CHN][]
- [1812][JPN][「I wanted to truly see the human world at least once.」]
- [1812][CHN][]
- [1813][JPN][Serawi smiles brightly.]
- [1813][CHN][]
- [1814][JPN][]
- [1814][CHN][]
- [1815][JPN][「What have you been doing in our world?」]
- [1815][CHN][]
- [1816][JPN][「Let me see... I touch the wind, listen to the water flow, feel]
- [1816][CHN][]
- [1817][JPN][the warmth of the earth, hear the voice of the trees...」]
- [1817][CHN][]
- [1818][JPN][「Are all elves like that?」]
- [1818][CHN][]
- [1819][JPN][「I would not say it's wrong to say that.」]
- [1819][CHN][]
- [1820][JPN][]
- [1820][CHN][]
- [1821][JPN][「That kind of life would be nice. But I still wanna run around]
- [1821][CHN][]
- [1822][JPN][]
- [1822][CHN][]
- [1823][JPN][outside and beat lots of monsters.」]
- [1823][CHN][]
- [1824][JPN][「Well, I was asking because I was hoping that you'd help me out]
- [1824][CHN][]
- [1825][JPN][if you had time.」]
- [1825][CHN][]
- [1826][JPN][「Are you in trouble?」]
- [1826][CHN][]
- [1827][JPN][]
- [1827][CHN][]
- [1828][JPN][「No, but I'm still a beginner. I think it'd be great if I could]
- [1828][CHN][]
- [1829][JPN][learn from somebody with a lot of experience.」]
- [1829][CHN][]
- [1830][JPN][]
- [1830][CHN][]
- [1831][JPN][「You seem like you know a lot, and as an elf, you know many]
- [1831][CHN][]
- [1832][JPN][things that humans don't.」]
- [1832][CHN][]
- [1833][JPN][]
- [1833][CHN][]
- [1834][JPN][「And above all, I want to learn more about elves. I'd love it]
- [1834][CHN][]
- [1835][JPN][if you would teach me.」]
- [1835][CHN][]
- [1836][JPN][「I see. That would be a delight for me as well. I am also quite]
- [1836][CHN][]
- [1837][JPN][interested in the lives of alchemists.」]
- [1837][CHN][]
- [1838][JPN][「That settles it.」]
- [1838][CHN][]
- [1839][JPN][ 『Serawi joins the party.』]
- [1839][CHN][]
- [1840][JPN][「Eh? Um... W-What about me?」]
- [1840][CHN][]
- [1841][JPN][「Hmm... Three people...」]
- [1841][CHN][]
- [1842][JPN][It could be tough to handle the equipment for three people]
- [1842][CHN][]
- [1843][JPN][alone. And there's living expenses too...]
- [1843][CHN][]
- [1844][JPN][But it'll be easy to collect a lot of materials and we can help]
- [1844][CHN][]
- [1845][JPN][]
- [1845][CHN][]
- [1846][JPN][each other out. There are both pros and cons.]
- [1846][CHN][]
- [1847][JPN][And the image of all four of us smiling around our meal won't]
- [1847][CHN][]
- [1848][JPN][leave my mind.]
- [1848][CHN][]
- [1849][JPN][I suddenly see the look on Emelita's face and realize that she's]
- [1849][CHN][]
- [1850][JPN][nervous as she watches me think.]
- [1850][CHN][]
- [1851][JPN][「Of course. You can join us too.」]
- [1851][CHN][]
- [1852][JPN][]
- [1852][CHN][]
- [1853][JPN][「Really? Yay!」]
- [1853][CHN][]
- [1854][JPN][「I just recently started taking requests, but now we can really]
- [1854][CHN][]
- [1855][JPN][get working with the three of you.」]
- [1855][CHN][]
- [1856][JPN][「Please tell me if there's anything you need.」]
- [1856][CHN][]
- [1857][JPN][「Yes! Cute clothes! Then makeup! Um, and then snacks! And a]
- [1857][CHN][]
- [1858][JPN][fluffy bed!」]
- [1858][CHN][]
- [1859][JPN][「I can't do it all at once! One at a time! One at a time!」]
- [1859][CHN][]
- [1860][JPN][「Haha. I'm happy to be with you, Wil. It will be fun.」]
- [1860][CHN][]
- [1861][JPN][「That's right. I'm looking forward to it too. I'm happy to keep]
- [1861][CHN][]
- [1862][JPN][working with you as well, Yuela.」]
- [1862][CHN][]
- [1863][JPN][「Nnmm... Thank you for the meal.」]
- [1863][CHN][]
- [1864][JPN][]
- [1864][CHN][]
- [1865][JPN][Yuela quietly claps her hands together again next to us.]
- [1865][CHN][]
- [1866][JPN][I now have three people employed as my guards.]
- [1866][CHN][]
- [1867][JPN][I'm a little worried about suddenly taking on so many, but a]
- [1867][CHN][]
- [1868][JPN][little chaos could be fun too. I'll have to keep working hard.]
- [1868][CHN][]
- [1869][JPN][For their sake too, I want to quickly make them new equipment.]
