“hello.”

“Haa~”

I stared at Yul, who appeared in front of me, as if I was looking at a troublemaker, and then sighed.

He moved his fingers and rolled his eyes back and forth, as if something had stung him too.

“Why on earth did you come here?”

The carriage ride wasn’t all that comfortable, so my eyes were filled with fatigue.

I had a lot to say, but I decided not to get angry since I made this saddal just because I brought up the topic of herbs to my child.

“sorry. “I thought it would take too much time to just send a letter.”

“If you had just told me how, I could have done it.”

“no! If a non-expert touches it, it can be a big problem! And even if I saw the efficacy later, collecting it myself was the best choice.”

“Anyway, it wasn’t urgent enough to call someone who was attending the academy here.”

“Do not worry! I came here after asking for the teacher’s understanding. “I told him that he had no choice but to get good materials for research, so he told me it was okay and that I should go.”

At least Ariando didn’t run away from home?

Fortunately, making the decision to take Yul into the contaminated zone was a different matter.

“Didn’t you tell me that the place where you go to collect medicinal herbs is the front line?”

“… “I had no choice but to get permission.”

Yeah, I thought so.

If I had known that the collection location was outside the frontline contaminated zone, I would never have sent it there.

“The cute girl is pretty hot.”

Thalia also couldn’t hide her laughter as if Yul’s behavior was funny.

“eww… sorry.”

Yul still didn’t know who Thalia was.

When Yul saw Thalia’s smiling face, he lowered his head in embarrassment.

“I was curious because Suhan bragged about meeting a genius alchemist, but I never thought we would meet like this. Nice to meet you. “It’s Thalia.”

“Oh, hello. It’s called Yul. A genius alchemist! It’s not like that. “The boss was exaggerating.”

Even Yul, who doesn’t know much about anything other than research, momentarily tilts his head as if the name Thalia seemed familiar.

“uh? But Talia… Where have I heard… uh?”

He looked like he realized something late, so I spoke first.

“You are the commander.”

“!!!”

Thalia said, probably thinking that Yul, who froze in surprise, was cute.

“This is really difficult. “This is a student who suddenly comes to you and says he’s going to go into a contaminated area.”

“ah… !”

“As a commander, my mission is very important. “I already found out, but I can’t ignore it.”

“Ugh!”

It seemed like he couldn’t bear to say that he would recklessly enter the contaminated area in front of the commander.

I spoke to Thalia while looking at Yul, who was crying and looking like he was ruined.

“Stop teasing me. If you listen seriously and do a little more, you will cry.”

“Haha, really?”

“Eh?”

“are you okay. I’m not that tough of a person. “Will you allow it?”

“Isn’t it inevitable? “It’s not common for people to be able to handle such precious herbs.”

Yul, who belatedly realized that Thalia’s words were a joke, smiled brightly.

“thank you!!”

Yul, who came back alive after being scared, smiled brightly, forgetting that he had been pranked.

“Is it that good?”

“yes! Since this has already happened, let’s go see the herbs!”

“You’re going to go right away without stopping? “You must be very tired now, right?”

Isn’t making elixirs work after all?

Still, I wonder if I would like it that much… .

Looking at Yul’s bright eyes, I could tell that he was doing this because he really liked this situation.

“Are not you tired! That elixir is really good at making. “You won’t regret it.”

Perhaps because he was afraid that he might be taken away from him, he desperately appealed to him about his abilities.

I had no idea that she, who was serious about research, would also have a great interest in making elixirs.

Of course, there was madness in the eyes when looking at the herbs… .

‘I thought you were doing it for research.’

But he just seemed to like research and medicinal herbs.

“I never thought you would be interested in something other than research.”

“If an alchemist isn’t interested in elixirs, he’s a fraud!”

The sincerity is clearly evident in the firm cry.

“No matter what, you can’t move right away. First of all, I’m going to be hungry, so I’ll eat, then take a nap and wake up. It will come after that. Thalia, can I have a permit?”

“Of course. “I’ll give you the permit.”

“Wow! thank you.”

Yul bows his head in greeting.

“I’m just turning a blind eye this time. Next time, I won’t allow it either. “You must protect that student.”

“Sure. “I won’t let you shed a single drop of blood.”

It would be nice if Thalia went with me, but she couldn’t just spend time with me while she was away forever.

Her vacation ended today.

Since I was away for quite some time, I must have had a lot of work to do.

“Do not worry. “I’ve prepared a lot too!”

He seemed to be full of confidence, but it seems like he had some credibility.

Yul took out the bag on his back and opened it to show what was inside.

Clatter-clatter-clatter-

Surprisingly, there were various medicine bottles in there.

“What is all this?”

“It’s a potion for attacking monsters! “It’s also for buffing!”

“It’s good to be thoroughly prepared, but you probably won’t use this. “Don’t think about going into battle.”

It’s not a problem to get it, but it’s difficult to try to use it.

From the beginning, I had no intention of making Yul fight directly.

Isn’t it my responsibility to take Yul into the contaminated area and bring him out safely?

However, you cannot hire someone else to take you there.

Since the job was to mine elixirs, it was not good for others to know about it.

‘I know what will happen because of greed.’

It wasn’t something to move around carelessly.

“I won’t say much because it’s good for your safety to take care of it, but I will catch the monster. Mr. Yul only focuses on collecting.”

“yes!! “If it’s still dangerous, I’ll help you.”

“That won’t happen.”

Despite my firm answer, Yul held the bag dearly with a lingering look on his face.

* * *

I left it to Thalia to tell me that I was okay despite being tired.

Although I could feed her, putting her to sleep was not something I could do.

Yul, who was caught by Thalia and given various things, showed up the next day with a fresh face.

“Now it has a more human face.”

“Was my face that messed up?”

“No problem.”

“OMG… .”

Yul washed his face dry and felt ashamed of himself from yesterday.

“What about Thalia?”

“He said he had to return at dawn.”

“Oops, I sent you off without even saying hello.”

Later, when my schedule was over, I thought about going to see her one last time, but then I shook my head.

Now it was more important to hurry back and persuade Princess Mona.

“But there are two of you.”

“yes.”

“Are you in a relationship?”

“Did it look like that? Or is that what Thalia said?”

“… No, you didn’t say anything specifically, but I got that feeling.”

“It’s been a while since we’ve been together, but it’s amazing. “I didn’t know it would be noticeable.”

“It’s obvious. “How could I not fly?”

Yul suddenly washed his face dry.

“Did Thalia feel very uncomfortable?”

“Oh, no. It wasn’t uncomfortable at all. “You did a great job.”

It must have been very uncomfortable to see the excessive response.

Well, it’s odd that I feel comfortable with Thalia, but most people feel uncomfortable being around her.

“Now, you have to be nervous from now on.”

We walked while having a long conversation and soon arrived at the entrance to the front line contaminated zone.

When Yul arrived at the entrance to the contaminated zone, he nodded calmly, probably because he was nervous.

What’s surprising is that although he was nervous, he wasn’t scared.

“Aren’t you scared?”

“I’m not scared. “I can’t wait to get in.”

Yul’s mind seemed to be filled with thoughts about herbs.

“Aren’t you afraid of monsters?”

“I’m not scared! “I’m more worried about someone digging it up.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. “I hid it well.”

In the end, I entered the contaminated area without wasting any more time.

Since I was moving with someone I had to protect, I looked around as much as possible and was nervous as I moved.

I kept my senses as sharp as possible, and even told Damon to check for monsters in the sky, so there would be no unexpected situations.

“I will move as fast as possible and avoid monsters if possible. “If the situation is bad, you may fly away, so be prepared for that.”

“… Are you flying? “Up in the sky?”

“yes.”

Just because it’s up in the sky doesn’t mean it’s safe, but when you’re in a hurry, there’s no safer way to avoid it than going up to the sky.

Yul, who turned a little pale at the word ‘heaven’, rolled his eyes eagerly and spoke cautiously.

“I have a medicine with a smell that monsters don’t like. Do you need it?”

“… Is there such a thing?”

“yes! “It’s in the bag! Would you like me to take it out?”

“Let’s do that.”

I already brought it, but wouldn’t it be a waste not to use it?

There is nothing that cannot be done for safety.

Since he accepted one, he began to secretly move his mouth, probably thinking that other drugs were also a possibility.

“This medicine can repel bugs! It’s also simple to use. “You just have to apply it on your body.”

“Please take that out too. “There’s nothing more, right?”

“yes. This is the end. The rest are for offense or defense.”

There were also several medicine bottles hanging on her waist.

It was probably attached to the waist to be used in case of a surprise attack.

I kindly closed her bag again and took the two pills she took out.

“How can I use it?”

“Just apply it!”

When I opened the bottle and looked inside, there was something that looked like ointment inside.

I took it with my hand and applied it to my hands and ankles.

“There is no problem with your skin, so don’t worry.”

“Who made it? Who would worry about side effects?”

“Ugh, I’m not a genius. I guess I’m misunderstanding you because you keep putting gold on my face… .”

“Are you mistaken?”

“it’s nothing!”

“???”

What misunderstanding did you have?

I was surprised by the harsher reaction than I expected.

I tried to ask in detail.

-It’s a monster! What are you going to do? Are you going to grab it?

At that moment, Damon gave a signal that a monster had appeared, so the situation just now was immediately forgotten in my mind.
