Aristocratic society is a jungle.

If you touch this side, it will jump out of the bushes over there! And a place where snakes might pop out.

Therefore, if you had to mess with one noble, you had to destroy all of the superiors that the noble was dealing with.

So, I’m going to reach an agreement with the noble above me and mess with him. Is that okay? All I have to do is ask for your understanding.

‘At times like this, there is no one more reliable than Erintina.’

And fortunately for me, there was Erintina who knew aristocratic society better than anyone else.

She got the job done neatly as soon as she heard the situation explained without me having to say anything.

“Who would have thought that they would have captured an alchemist and treated him like a slave? “Maybe it’s because we’ve been eating it without any problems for a long time, but it’s also a sloppy thing to hide it.”

The awakened are definitely nobles.

Erintina persuaded the alchemists who had been working as slaves to report the immoral actions of the Mortason merchants.

The awakened people whom Mortason Sangdan treated like slaves were the illegitimate children of nobles, especially orphans who had been completely abandoned by their parents.

Usually, people who become alchemists have an interest in that field or have awakened abilities related to alchemy.

“Mota Son Sangang deals with low-priced consumables, not high-end consumables, so even if you don’t have talent, you can make them by just putting it into your head. Appropriate horsepower, accurate measurements, and repeated production methods. “The rebellious awakening was resolved by my wife, who has mental abilities.”

In fact, it is not a problem for nobles to use commoners or slaves.

An awakened person without a background?

It doesn’t matter if you trick them and treat them like slaves.

However, it was problematic that Madame Mortason used her mental abilities to treat the awakened people like slaves.

In addition, there were serious problems such as the fact that the awakened people were paid very little in salary, that there was no consent in the process, and that they were locked up to prevent them from running away.

“In other words, they treated me like I was raising an animal. In addition, I did so many things that were against the law that it would be difficult to mention them all.”

Ultimately, the Mortason family.

“It’s as if it’s over. And I did a little work to block all the variables in the middle.”

“Possible variables?”

“Because you can buy it with money there.”

Erintina is said to have given money to people who could be bribed during the trial process.

“There’s no way they can escape.”

The reason I bothered to touch that woman’s family name was because it couldn’t be dealt with reliably as an attempted crime.

In order to be dealt with reliably, you have to catch them after they commit a crime, and I didn’t want to do that.

‘Are you intentionally neglecting it and letting Yul’s precious space be trampled? ‘It doesn’t make sense.’

It would have been shocking just to hear that they had tried to do that, but how severe would Yul’s shock be if the lab was directly attacked?

It was ridiculous to catch that woman, even if it meant hurting her.

That’s why I touched on the family name.

I was wondering if something would come out.

But, sure enough, it’s different.

A serious criminal record emerged, as if being clean was not a virtue of nobility.

Even if the woman received a light punishment, instead of getting revenge, she would only have to suffer.

The family would have been ruined by then.

“Is it possible to get a large fine for that? “There must be a lot of money hidden away.”

“Shall we use a fine instead of imprisonment?”

“It would be better if a fine was added to the prison term. “The merchants who run the merchants are more concerned about losing their money than their time.”

Moreover, even if they come back after serving prison time, if they have money, they will bounce back and live well.

“The upper level was operating illegally anyway, so it will be disbanded. “I won’t be able to run the upper level again.”

“There are more ways for nobles to make money than at the top.”

He probably hid a lot of money while running the business.

I have to somehow scrape it all out and spit it out.

Erintina thought about my words for a moment and then said.

“Hey, I wasn’t going to go that far because it was annoying…”

“Is there a way?”

“What you want is to make them know, right? “So that I can never live again and live like a beggar.”

“huh. “I also want to fuck up the alchemist at the top with whom I was trying to make a deal.”

It’s a future that won’t happen now, but if it had proceeded according to the original scenario, the people who constantly harass Yul would be traders.

I didn’t like the idea of leaving them alone in this case.

Erintina nodded.

“Okay, I’ll do everything! But are you going to just say it and be done with it? To do what you want, you have to do something really annoying. “Never with your bare mouth.”

“Of course I’ll listen to anything. Just say it. “I’ll do whatever I can to help.”

Erintina wasn’t angry at me for continuing to increase the number of tasks she had to do, but instead demanded payment.

To be honest, I said ‘please do this’ to this extent, but I felt like I had to do things I couldn’t do.

“Then, 10 times you cook the things I want to eat when I want!”

“Is that really all it takes? “I can do it 20 times.”

“Then let’s do it 20 times!”

I wondered if I could solve the problem by just making food, but seeing how Erintina liked it, I thought it would be okay.

I thought that if he wanted to eat later, I should prepare it with proper care.

‘Anyway, is Yul okay? ‘I’m sure I’ll never eat anything.’

After finishing my conversation with Erintina, I decided to visit Yul.

I had something to talk about anyway, so I needed to meet him.

It will probably be quite a shock, so you won’t be able to lead a normal life.

I heard that my friend tried to steal my research results. How could it be okay?

Isn’t it fortunate that an incident that made me feel bad happened and I was able to mentally prepare for it?

I planned to use both my hands as much as possible to comfort Yul, who must have been shocked by the feeling of betrayal.

cook-!

“uh?”

“What are you thinking now?”

“Thoughts.”

“What do you think about putting people in front of you? You were dazed. “There was no answer when I called?”

“Oh sorry. “I was wondering if the student I was sponsoring was okay.”

I guess I was too deep in my thoughts.

“If you are a student you sponsor, you are talking about the victim of this incident. “After all, my personal lab wasn’t really attacked, so isn’t that taking too much?”

“huh. yes. “He doesn’t know how to take care of himself, so I have to take care of him.”

“Huh~ I see. Indeed, he is the man who conquered Commander Thalia.”

“… … .”

Erintina’s eyes are sinister.

“Aren’t you going to make me fall in love like this? “Am I in danger right now?”

“No thanks?”

I shook off Erintina’s joke and stood up.

“rice is!”

“I’m going to do it now. “I’m resting.”

“Do it quickly~ I’m hungry.”

The reason I don’t hate Erintina even when I urge her like that is not only because of her deceptive appearance, but also because she does a lot of things for me.

Although they run the upper level and share the profits, looking at the work they do, they were in a position where they had nothing to say even if they took in much more.

Also, aren’t you willing to listen to the difficult tasks I ask of you?

That’s why I tend to try to repay what I owe whenever I get the chance.

‘It’s not like I’m showing off with just food.’

What I prepared today are Erintina’s favorite foods.

Her preference is fish.

I especially liked the salmon steak.

If you add a salad with a sweet and sour dressing with lemon juice, you can eat it all in one sitting.

Since salmon steak and salad couldn’t satisfy the awakened person’s entire appetite, I made sushi using other raw fish I bought along with the purchase.

Although it may not be possible to imitate the skills of an expert, it was possible to imitate it to a reasonable degree.

“Kya~! looks delicious.”

She smiles brightly when she sees the food prepared.

The sight of him throwing away all respect and everything and smiling heartily in front of food was a very threatening sight to me, a man.

“I’ll eat well! “I worked so hard to earn money from you.”

“Yes, I am always grateful.”

After watching Erintina greedily scoop up food like a hamster, I thought it wouldn’t work, so I decided to focus on eating.

If I kept looking at that and felt harsh for no reason, it would be a disaster.

It is better to think differently.

‘Does Yul like fish?’

Last time I cooked something similar to mackerel, it tasted good, but wouldn’t raw fish be any different?

‘I need to pack a lot of egg sushi. Because I enjoyed dishes made with eggs.’

As soon as Erintina went, I planned to pack a lunch and go to Yul.

To that end, I prepared plenty of food.

“Give me more!”

but.

The salmon steak I thought I had packed in plenty quickly ran out, and Erintina’s eyes sparkled as she asked for more.

Perhaps he knew that I had prepared plenty of food.

In the end, she finished the meal only after cleaning up all the food she had prepared for Yul.

‘It’s no joke because he also eats when he wants to.’

It seemed like getting to Yul would be later than expected.

I had to go out to buy groceries again.

* * *

“president?”

“how have you been doing?”

“How did you get here? “I didn’t order anything.”

I clicked my tongue when I saw that my cheeks had become sagged.

It is clear that he is going through a lot of mental distress.

“Why did you come? I came here because I was worried. And I heard a rumor that there was an uproar at the academy.”

“Did you hear it too, boss? “The rumor has spread outside.”

Since it has all spread within the Academy, it is only natural that the story will spread outside of it.

And since I am the main culprit who created this incident, wouldn’t it be okay if I didn’t know?

“I came because I thought that if I didn’t go, I would just be researching and not taking care of myself.”

“I was going to go buy ingredients. “I almost ran out of everything.”

“I was wondering when I was going to use it all, but have I already used it all?”

If this continues, I think research will be successful much faster.

“yes! “The research is going well, so I feel encouraged without even realizing it.”

“You’re not researching to the point of harming your body, are you? Have you eaten your meal?”

“… … .”

Since I can’t answer, it seems like I haven’t really taken much care of it.

“Why did I come empty-handed, so I brought a packed lunch. “Do you like raw fish?”

I confidently entered the lab with my lunch box in my arms.

Even though I didn’t even enter the room where the actual research was taking place, the living room was filled with a strong herbal scent.

It was a terrible smell that showed how absorbed Yul was in the experiment.
