Yul, who had been eating steadily, ended up feeling sick.

“I think I’m acting really bad. I need to take some medicine. “Do you have any medicine at home?”

It’s so sad to see him stumbling around with a pale complexion.

I felt like I would pass out any moment if I didn’t take the medicine.

“… Yes i have.”

Yul also agreed to take medicine as if he thought it wouldn’t work after seeing his faltering condition.

Should I have stopped him from eating it?

Fighting with friends and engaging in self-destructive behavior was a very foolish thing to do.

I thought about reprimanding him, but seeing Yul’s sullen expression, I couldn’t bear to say anything harsh.

As expected, it would be better to coddle rather than nag right now.

“Where can I go? “I’ll bring it to you.”

“On the top shelf over there. sorry. Please do me a favor. ha…”

It seemed like it was becoming more and more difficult to bear it.

I hurried to the place she pointed to and opened the shelf to find a larger amount of potions than I expected neatly arranged.

‘It looks like you made it all yourself?’

Fortunately, the effect of the potion was written on the front of the bottle, so I was able to quickly find the digestive medicine.

“take it. “Is this right?”

“yes. thank you.”

Yul drinks the digestive medicine and lies down on the sofa, staggering.

She’s already so thin that it looks like she’ll fly away if the wind blows, but her complexion is so pale that even if she takes medicine, she can’t feel relieved.

While sitting on the sofa waiting for the medicine to take effect.

I played with her cold hands and massaged them.

“Ugh… .”

If your living skills are this poor…

I decided to make Yul a good friend, but I’m worried about whether it will be okay because it doesn’t come easily.

Even if you pick a kid with a good personality through a lottery, doesn’t that mean he will automatically become a close friend of Yul?

Even if I introduced them separately, their personalities might not match each other.

‘Still, seeing as he silently accepted a woman of unusual character, I guess he might not be picky.’

What Yul needs is someone with whom he can spend time purely together without looking at each other’s conditions like the first generation children did.

Talk about light things that happened in your day, share your emotions, and sympathize.

A relationship of empathy and concern rather than jealousy.

That was a normal relationship between friends, and that was the kind of person Yul needed.

The problem is that I have never had a relationship like that before.

Isn’t there a Shasha or Rebecca?

‘Rebecca is a lover.’

If anything, Sasha can be seen as a friend, but the relationship I’m talking about right now is a relationship between people of the same sex, not people of the opposite sex.

As you know, the only men I know are stinking mercenaries.

For your information, it was not clear whether the mercenaries were dead or alive.

How can you make friends with something like that?

At least, I can recall memories from my past life and refer to the memories of making friends.

‘Even if it’s a past life, it doesn’t really matter… .’

I remember that I wasn’t the type to make many friends.

‘But they’re still kids.’

Did the first generation students become friends because I told them to be friends?

If you don’t get along like Gabriel, you can’t be friends, and if you get along like the kids who have been hanging out together for a while, you can become friends.

Wouldn’t it be okay to just pick up Yul and have them collide often?

“ah.”

But he doesn’t even come out of the lab, right?

I suddenly felt at a loss, so I touched my forehead.

While I was getting serious and sighing alone, Yul, who had come to his senses as the medicine took effect, opened his eyes.

His face looked much more comfortable.

“I’m sorry. I felt nauseous and had to close my eyes.”

“are you okay. “My hands are warm now.”

I don’t know if the warmth in my hand was transferred or if it was the effect of the medicine, but I let go of my hand, which had become much warmer.

“Okay, thank you. I made this, and it works well. How many would you like to bring for you?”

“Good.”

Even if you receive it, there will be no need to use it.

Since they are such big eaters and have great digestive power, they have never felt sick after eating food.

Still, it was always welcome to stock up on medicine in advance.

I have no common sense as I have never had any medicine.

“I didn’t have any medicine at home, but I’ll put it to good use.”

Yul’s eyes sparkled when I told him that I didn’t have any medicine in the house.

“oh! “Then I’ll take care of other things too!!”

“thank you. “Did Yul make them all?”

“yes. I can guarantee the effectiveness of the medicine. As you just saw, the effect is fast and good.”

Anyway, this is a medicine made by a genius alchemist, not an ordinary alchemist. How could it not be effective?

“How long is the expiration date?”

“What is the expiration date? uh… .”

All ingredients have an expiration date, and of course potions also have an expiration date.

Of course, the consumables I picked through the lottery are an exception.

“The potion I made has no expiration date.”

“yes? no?”

“It was definitely okay for up to 5 years to be exact. I’m in the process of experimenting. “It’s been 5 years now and the effects are still there.”

“Isn’t it amazing? If it’s a potion with no expiration date… . “Do you ever want to sign a contract with me?”

“A contract?”

“How many of these potions can you produce per week without interfering with research?”

What medicine do you need in an army full of awakened people?

There are most awakened people like our children who seem to chew up iron, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need medicine at all.

This is because the quantity that must be ‘officially’ prepared is legally determined.

Even if you can’t use it every time and end up throwing it away, you must have it in quantity.

But what if you replace it with a potion of Yul?

There will be no need to throw away potions that have expired and cannot be used.

‘There is no smarter way to manage money than to reduce the amount of money secretly being siphoned from operating a military unit.’

In addition, the cash cow that consistently generates money for Yul who needs money will allow him to make a lump sum even if it doesn’t work out.

Of course, if production capacity is supported.

‘Rather, it is better to have less productivity. If you give too much of a lump sum, they may say they won’t accept the support.’

Just by looking at it, it is clear that the entire donation amount will go towards research.

So, I wanted to make money that I could use comfortably in my personal life.

“Potion?”

“I thought I could try supplying this to the military.”

“yes?! “Is this what I made?”

I guess it’s something I never imagined.

Yul needed to look at his skills more objectively.

“The military will really like it because it has a very long shelf life.”

“I can’t make much because of my research. And I heard that places like that don’t accept just anything.”

“It just needs to be at a level that can be made without interfering with research as much as possible. And this isn’t just any item, it’s a special and good potion. “How much can you make if you set this as one set?”

Basically, I collected the potions that the military must have and made one set. When I asked about it, Yul, who was thinking about it carefully, said,

“Assuming all facilities are in place, 100 sets per week would be the limit. The time it takes to complete each item varies. “I set it based on the item that took the longest.”

“100 sets! It’s just right. How long will it take to prepare the equipment? Of course, I will pay the installation fee.”

“The lab is big, so there’s an empty room over there… .”

“Then it would be perfect to put it there.”

“Yes, but if you want to make 100 sets a week, you need to bring in about 5 sets, and you can just ask them to keep adding ingredients to the top. No, wait a minute. Are you really going to sell this to the military?”

Yul, who was swayed by my words and was answering here and there, stopped mid-sentence and doubted me, asking if I could really sell it.

As a naive girl who had no idea about the world, she had no idea of the value of the things she made.

“Yes, I will sell it. It will definitely sell. And what if the creator doubts his product? “If it’s my baby, I have to save it.”

“ah… .”

“Don’t doubt what you made. Even if everyone in the world doubts you, you have to believe.”

What should a craftsman do if he doubts something he made himself?

Even if I wanted to buy it, I would not buy it because it would make me feel uncomfortable.

Yul’s current attitude was one that undermined his own value.

Yul nodded at my words.

“Thank you for the opportunity. “I’ll do my best.”

It seemed as if he had forgotten about his friend, and he couldn’t help but smile happily at the truly courageous appearance of Yul, who had regained his strength.

“You can do it. Don’t be afraid. Let’s do it.”

* * *

“So you want to try delivering that product?”

“yes. He must be a much more genius than any alchemist known to the world. “I’m just young and haven’t built up a reputation yet.”

When Thalia came over late at night for a drink.

I brought up Yul’s story and told her about the potion delivery.

“If the potion really had an expiration date of more than five years, the amount of money wasted on the military would be greatly reduced.”

Aside from the money spent on the potion, it is a waste to have the potion thrown away without being used.

“I thought it would be helpful to the unit. Right?”

“It is something that must be pursued. But is that alchemist a woman?”

“yes? “That’s right.”

The character’s gender is female.

It seemed that Thalia was interested in the alchemist named Yul.

A genius alchemist.

It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is a company that walks the walk.

This is a world where the alchemy they create becomes ‘money’.

‘Should I suggest that you become a top alchemist when you are discharged from the military?’

It may be impossible with our current friendship, but won’t the day come when we can build our friendship by continuing to bump into each other and become entangled in each other?

That’s what I think.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”

“?”

Thalia put her face to my ear and whispered.

“There are a lot of women around you, aren’t there?”

“yes?”

female?

“Where did the genius alchemist come from? .”

“A woman? I’m a minor. “There’s no way you could see me as a woman, right?”

“What about the children who will become adults next year? “According to what you said, I would be old enough to be considered a woman now.”

“… … .”

Suddenly, I remembered the plan Fran had made with the kids.

Is it okay to keep calling the kids who planned such a thing ‘kids’?

“Do you think there is something holding you back when you see that you can’t say anything? “As they become adults, do they start to look like women?”

“… “It’s not like that.”

“I think that’s right. Hmm~ How should I manage this man?”

Thalia places her hand on my chin and looks me in the eye.

If you don’t feel pressured at this moment, you’re probably a psychopath.

No, even if you were a psychopath, your heart would be pounding right now.

Her hand, which was touching under my chin, moves up to my cheek and strokes it affectionately.

“If I were a hot-blooded 20-year-old, I would have taken your feminine side, but a bitch with grown kids wouldn’t do something like that. Moreover, he is dating a woman before me.”

Gulp-

My mouth became dry.

“Don’t be nervous. I’m not trying to get you angry. Haha! That’s cute.”

I felt like I had to hope that she would continue to love me in order to survive.
