episode_0206

Karla ran out of the chapel on the third floor and ran down the stairs at a brisk pace. Only when she reached the end of the stairs was she able to stop and catch her breath.

‘that… What was it… … ?’

Yeriel obviously didn’t do anything.

Could it be that he just felt a little unwell today?

‘I have to apologize next time I see him…’

I ran out too hastily… ‘

As Carla came down the last step of the stairs with a bitter smile, she began to hear someone’s voice calling her.

At that moment, someone opened the front door of the small lobby near the stairs and came face to face with someone. There was a completely unexpected surprise on Carla’s face.

“Uh, Carla… ?

You were coming down?

Congratulations on your personal workshop!!”

A feeling of heart pounding.

The person who broke up with me due to something happening during the social gathering ended up appearing in front of me.

“Lucas… ? ah… !! ruler… how have you been doing… … ?

I’m here to congratulate you… ? Welcome!!”

“Of course, right? You came running as soon as you heard the news?”

Carla’s face seemed to turn bright red at the appearance of Lucas, a brightly smiling handsome boy and hot guy from the Alchemy Department.

However, soon after, Carla found herself feeling anxious due to the rising worries.

Because I had completely forgotten that I had sent a boasting letter to Lucas, I had completely forgotten that he might be visiting.

‘ah… !! I forgot to send you a letter!!

uh… oh my god… !! My hair is a mess… … !!

If I had known this would happen, I would have put on some makeup… … ‘

Actually, I was planning to tell the other kids and come with them.

I heard that the other kids are strangely busy today…

I guess I should go alone today… haha…

I heard a lot of other kids wanted to come too?

This is a congratulatory gift… !! This is a set of frequently used reagents!!”

Who says it’s not the Department of Alchemy?

Even as a gift, Lucas hands over a set of experimental reagents, which are consumables often used in experiments.

Carla’s face was as bright red as she took it in a hurry and then grabbed his hand.

It was the same thing for Lucas too.

Anyway, it was Carla who quickly accepted the gift in such confusion, then turned around and took the lead.

“Eh… Eh… !! go… thank you… !!

this… Once you come in… !!

caliber… I’ll do it for you… !!”

“Oh… !! Then excuse me!!

It’s my first time seeing someone’s personal workshop… !!”

Looking at Lucas, who looked full of anticipation as if he was entering a woman’s room for the first time, Carla felt fortunate that he had not yet started experimenting.

‘I’m glad it’s not a mess…

If you came here while researching… Ugh… … ‘

At that time, I was so immersed in research that I almost looked like I didn’t even wash my hair, let alone put on makeup.

But at that very moment, something flashed through Carla’s mind.

‘Carla, you will see your precious person before the day is over.’

A word that seemed like a prophecy, given by Yeriel, who had a strange atmosphere, was playing in my head.

Even though my mind is pounding with excitement brought on by the keyword ‘precious person’, a corner of my heart is becoming more complicated without knowing why.

When Carla, who was climbing the stairs to show the workshop, slowed down, Lucas, who was following her, seemed to ask Carla a question as if he felt something strange.

“Carla… ? Are you okay?”

“Ah… Yes… !!

Something occurred to me for a moment… !!

Here… !! My new workshop… !!”

“Oh… Wow… … ”

But what was before is what happened before, and what is now is what is now.

Lucas, with whom I had previously broken up in vain, appeared before my eyes. What does it matter if it was a prophecy or a death?

Perhaps Yeriel’s words meant this.

Carla, who is proud of her workshop, spent a lot of time introducing various things to Lucas, and even conducted a monumental event called the first experiment in the new workshop.

“This? 0.85 milligrams?”

“Yes… !! ah… 0.84!!

I’ll catch it, just a little more… ?”

“Ah… … uh… huh… ”

An event that could not be more romantic from the public’s point of view, in which a man and a woman who are interested in each other conduct an experiment together.

Moreover, when you experiment and collaborate together, even small skinships that occur naturally, such as covering your fingers or passing the back of your hand.

Carla and Lucas had no choice but to find themselves getting closer to each other.

“Ahaha!! There’s pigment on my face!!”

“This is where you were buried… !!

oh… !! hey!! Stop frying… … !!”

“Eight!! Okay!!”

I don’t remember the details very well now, but maybe it was because of a happy dream I had the other day.

Now that Karla had overcome her sadness over Spider-kun’s death to some extent, a new relationship was flowing into her heart as she regained her composure.

The girl’s heart, now able to smile brightly again, was once again swelling with a pink dream.

.

.

.

But of course there was no way I could welcome that sight.

The four pairs of eyes staring at the handsome boy with silver-white hair were shining with an incredibly ferocious light.

‘That guy looks like a dog rolling in from somewhere…’ … ‘

After finishing the conversation with Yui, I was gradually becoming more and more uncomfortable as I looked at the precious sight through the eyes of the spider that was hidden in a corner of the studio.

Although the areas are separated to some extent, at Carla’s request, her workshop and Yui’s medical room were practically adjacent to one room.

As someone who could peek into Carla’s workshop at any time, I couldn’t help but feel annoyed by the sudden presence of Lucas.

‘I don’t have any personal feelings…

Outsiders are dangerous… … ‘

I had no intention of interfering with Carla’s dating business.

I know, from Yui, how sad she felt when the spider she especially loved, which was like family to her, died.

If a guy named Lucas could fill a corner of Carla’s heart, it would be a welcome thing for me, who wants Carla to be happy.

But the problem was this.

‘I’ll set up a seat in a corner of the medical room…

First, let’s pretend it’s just a decoration…

Later, if you disguise it as a research item… ‘

Yui heard that the newborn Enic was growing under this work building.

First of all, Enic is a ‘tree’ in its own way, so it is natural that it needs space to not only spread its roots underground but also to climb upwards.

When Yui heard those words, her complexion immediately turned pale, but she gave her own answer and expressed her opinion to help me.

‘First of all, if you use the lounge on the first floor as an excuse to decorate a small garden, it will work…

And if it grows bigger later, drill a hole in the place where it goes up to the lab…

If we pretend to be a research specimen in a medical room… ‘

But it was nothing more than a deception.

This meant that the more people came and went in this place, which was Carla’s workshop and Yui’s laboratory, the greater the risk of Enic’s identity being revealed.

I was hoping that a guy named Lucas would take Carla outside and enjoy a healthy love life outside in nice weather and fresh air, rather than an unhealthy relationship between a man and a woman in a shady workshop… …

‘For some reason, looking at that image makes me feel uneasy… … ‘

I wonder if he will end up in this workshop sooner or later.

So I sat in the studio making various excuses.

If Carla, whom we have become close with, lets her guard down, one day he suddenly attacks her in this enclosed space… …

‘Well, that guy isn’t even Enic…

I don’t think that’s really possible, but… …

I heard that social churches also blocked auto drones or something… ‘

It is said that he was the main character who forcibly drove his sword into the autodrone that Karla had destroyed and completely destroyed it, ultimately saving Karla.

There’s no way a guy with such a kind heart would do something like that, even though he was hurting himself to save Karla.

But in the end, nothing changed the fact that he shouldn’t come into this workshop, even for my own sake.

I started watching them to figure out a way to get them out.

Fortunately, the workshop was filled with all kinds of experiment tools and books, so there was plenty of room for the spider to hide.

They pass behind flasks where colorful liquids of unknown identity are boiling, and hide behind display cases where various experimental tools are displayed.

As I was observing the two, ideas were welling up in my head about how I could lead the two boys and girls down a healthy and beautiful path of love.

But was that a mistake?

‘Being an alchemist…

It’s a busier job than you think…

Why are you wandering around like this… Ahh… !!’

As I followed the boys and girls who were concentrating on the experiment as they moved from table to table, I inadvertently made the mistake of touching the heated wire rack that supported the bottom of the flask where the liquid was boiling.

The result was a reflexive seizure, a natural reaction of a living being touching something hot.

As a result, the spider’s body convulsed, unable to control itself, and it pushed away the flask that was placed on the wire mesh.

– Clink

“Oh… … !!”

“Carla!! It’s dangerous!!”

Carla and Lucas looked at the place with surprised expressions at the sudden sound of the flask breaking and the boiling reagent spilling.

In the meantime, was Carla’s body in danger, and did the sight of Lucas covering her with his body seem quite manly?

“……”

“Carla… ?”

However, seeing Carla with a blank expression in her eyes for a moment as if she had discovered something, Lucas seemed to be calling her out again.

Carla, who finally came to her senses, looked around Lucas’ body with a smile.

“Ah… iced coffee!!

Thanks, Lucas.

I’m fine… … !!

You’re not hurt!?”

“I’m okay with it too… …

Suddenly the flask falls over…

Could it be that the reagent reacted with a foreign substance and exploded? ?”

“Maybe… Maybe…

however… I’ll keep holding you like this… … ?”

“Ah… !! sorry!! It’s a halinium reaction solution, right?

I’m glad that nothing too dangerous happened.

Let’s clean it up first!!”

However, fortunately, the two realized that the reagent in the spilled flask was not dangerous, and they seemed to be sorting out the situation again, with Carla cleaning up the spilled reagent and Lucas cleaning up the sharp pieces of the broken flask.

‘Ugh… I almost got into big trouble… ‘

I was hiding behind the display case right next to it and watching it, and only then was I able to breathe a sigh of relief.

‘I said I would watch to see if an accident occurred, but then I ended up causing an accident.’

In the end, all I could confirm was my own helplessness, the inability to solve the problem on my own.

‘We need another way… … ‘

I needed someone to fix this situation for me.

To begin with, Yui is weak to Karla, so it would be difficult to blame her.

Hye-ryeong, who started a fight about everything and everything, seemed a bit nice, but I had no connection with her in the first place.

Of course, it is impossible for Vivian or Raniero to appear in public.

then… …

‘To guide juvenile delinquents…

First of all, shouldn’t there be a teacher…? … ?’

My eyes were wide open when an idea suddenly occurred to me.

“This is… Where should you use it? … ?

that… Personnel transfer… … ?”

After returning to the den, Aurora’s expression was filled with doubt as she wrote a letter in beautiful handwriting as I called her.

.

.

.

“Today was a big day, right?

Nice to meet you, Carla.

Then I will visit again next time.”

“Yes… !! See you next time!!

then… … ”

After all, was it an inevitable occupational disease of alchemists to lose track of time while conducting research?

In a situation where it was already late at night, the back of Lucas was seen leaving, waving his hand with a regretful expression.

As Carla looked at her back, she felt regret in her heart and remembered the events that had happened today.

Carla, who was speechless as she watched this from the lobby, was running up to the workshop at a brisk pace, clutching her itchy chest with her cute hands.

As soon as you open the door and enter, the familiar smell of drugs begins to waft in.

Carla, who was at ease with that, noticed the spot where she had overturned the flask earlier and the display case next to it.

“But just now… here… …

There was definitely something… …

wrong… Did you see it? … ?”

Although I missed it when Lucas called out to me with concern, I think I definitely saw something there.

As Carla knelt down and gently pushed her back under the table, her eyes caught the glimpse of some kind of sticky slime on the back wall of the display case.

“Is this the reagent that splashed earlier?

that… Are you going… … ?

that… I guess… … ”

– Deng… Dang… Dang…

Behind her, where she was pushing her upper body under the table with only her buttocks sticking out, the bell on the wall clock was ringing lightly, signaling the hour.

“I should go in soon… !!

Yui is waiting for you?

Clean up quickly!! Clean up!!”

As ‘today’ passed like that, the day Carla met her precious person went by like that.
