“sorry.”

Fran, who was surprised to hear my voice, looked at me and apologized.

“What do you have to be sorry for? “Did you secretly eavesdrop?”

“… “I heard a woman’s voice.”

Surprisingly, Fran honestly confessed that he had indeed been secretly eavesdropping on the conversation with Yul.

For a moment, I was wondering whether I should say this or not.

But wasn’t there a promise made to Franc?

Since I had decided to treat Fran as my woman from now on, it was time to keep my promise.

“I’m an alchemist who knows something. I once told you that I went to the front line and picked up an herb. He’s an alchemist who asked me to make it into an elixir. “He said he finished it today and brought it home himself.”

“Oh~!”

Fran’s expression changed drastically after hearing my explanation.

Looking at that, I thought that I had hurt Fran a lot.

The reason Fran is acting like this is probably because I haven’t been able to convince her.

Of course, it is a relationship with a definite promise now.

But there was no way my nervousness would go away all at once.

I know it will take time for it to go away completely.

It takes a lot of effort to build trust.

“Would you like to say hello?”

“Is that okay?”

“However much. “Is there anything you can’t do?”

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to build up relationships with Yul and Franc in advance.

“Oh, it would be better to invite them here. “Please wait a moment.”

I left the franc and went down to the first floor and approached Yul, who had picked out a bunch of things.

“Do you want to come up to the second floor?”

“yes? Me?”

“yes. “Let’s go eat.”

“ah!”

I’m good at taking care of my kids’ meals, but I don’t think I’ve ever taken care of their daily meals as much as Yul.

Yul suddenly burst out laughing at the word “bap” and said.

“What are you going to do for me today?”

“Do you want to eat something?”

They always stocked up on plenty of ingredients, so even if I told them what I wanted to eat, they could do it for me.

“Then I want to eat that chicken dish.”

“fried food?”

“That’s good, and the grilled one was delicious too.”

gulp-

Yul swallowed his saliva, probably remembering the taste of the food.

At first, Yul was not interested in rice at all.

But now, he doesn’t refuse when asked to eat, but rather says what he wants to eat.

This was truly a huge improvement.

A sense of pride comes over me.

Since I had chickens at the time, I was able to do whatever I wanted.

“I have the ingredients so I can do it for you. Come up. “There is someone I can introduce you to.”

* * *

Franc and Yul secretly had a lot in common.

Being so obsessed with a field that you like that you can’t get your mind off it.

Franc is crazy about his religion, and Yul is crazy about alchemy.

Being able to fall deeply into something is only possible if you have that level of passion.

That’s why I thought the two could get along well.

Franc did not know Yul, but surprisingly, Yul knew Franc.

“You didn’t call it art for nothing.”

It seems like Fran is an excellent therapist himself and has a reputation that he built up during this vacation, so I heard something about him.

So I decided to focus on introducing Yul rather than introducing Franc.

She boasted to Fran what a great genius alchemist she was.

Of course, the elixir I received today also became a point of pride.

“Is that what you think?”

“OMG! Compared to my senior, it’s nothing special…”

Yul couldn’t bear to have his face painted with gold.

“As you can see, he doesn’t realize how much of a genius he is.”

“no! “I know my skills aren’t bad!”

“It’s not that his skills are bad, but I have to say that there is no better alchemist in the empire than Mr. Yul.”

“That’s too much of an exaggeration!”

“It’s not an exaggeration, it’s the truth.”

“It’s because the boss doesn’t know much about this, but there are many better alchemists than me. You know about purifying liquid, right? A great alchemist is someone who developed something like that. “Compared to that person, I don’t even have new feet.”

“ah.”

Fran’s eyes secretly turn towards me.

“hmm.”

I was a little embarrassed because I didn’t expect my story to come out of Yul’s mouth.

I couldn’t imagine how Yul would react if he found out that I was none other than the developer who created the purification fluid.

“Why are you doing this? Did I say something wrong?”

Yul, perhaps sensing a subtle atmosphere between Fran and I, tilted his head and asked.

Anyway, as time passes, it is inevitable that I will be discovered as a developer.

“I guess it would be right to say it now because it has already been said.”

“You mean?”

“Actually, I’m the one who developed it.”

“Development?”

“Yes, purification liquid. The person who developed it is me. “I think I happened to become a great alchemist who is respected by Mr. Yul.”

“???”

Even if I think about it, if someone like me developed it, they wouldn’t believe it.

I decided to be patient and explain as calmly as possible.

“I know you won’t believe it, but I’m telling you because I don’t want you to complain later about why I hid it.”

“The boss is not an alchemist.”

“Yes.”

“But how can the boss become a purifier developer?”

“Iknow, right. “It’s really amazing.”

“No, what should I do if you say that?”

Fran, who had been watching quietly, felt frustrated by my naturally virtuous answer and intervened.

“Your junior is confused.”

“Haha, I see. Are you interested in purifying liquid? Shall I show you?”

“Do you have any purifying fluid?”

Of course I have it.

I made it.

“of course. “Because I made it.”

“Purified liquid is not yet for sale.”

Since the quantity of purified liquid had not yet been handed over to the imperial palace, it was natural that it could not be sold.

“If you want, I can give it to you right away.”

“Seniors!”

Yul calls out to Fran as if to stop me.

At any rate, there was only one answer from Fran.

“It may be hard to believe, but what you said is true.”

“There are many alchemists waiting for the purification fluid to be commercialized. It became more famous because the Imperial Alchemist failed to re-enact it. “I heard that they are trying to secure the purification fluid quickly, even if it means borrowing the power of the family.”

I heard that the purification liquid I provide is being provided to the imperial alchemists, except for those used in experiments.

Even though they were struggling, they were unable to figure out the correct recipe.

“There are rumors that if you succeed in recreating the purified liquid, your life will turn around. “So you’re saying you’ve developed such an amazing thing?”

“that’s right.”

“… … .”

Yul pouted his lips and was lost in thought, as if his mind had become complicated.

“Unless you’re kidding… .”

Yul swallowed his saliva and continued.

“Can you really give me the purification fluid?”

“Sure. However much. “I will give you everything you ask for.”

How could you not listen to someone else’s request, such as Yul?

“As much purification fluid as I want?”

“yes. “How much will you give me?”

“… W, ten?”

“I’ll give you 50 bottles. “If you use it in an experiment, it will decrease in an instant.”

I know that the scale of research being conducted by Yul is enormous.

But would you be satisfied with just 10 bottles?

We were deliberately controlling the quantity, so we only sent 50 bottles to the imperial palace every month, but if it was Yul, we could have brought more than that amount of purification liquid.

“I can’t afford to pay that much.”

Yul shook his head, asking if the purification liquid was very expensive.

“Don’t worry about money. “If you sell it for money when it hasn’t even been approved for sale yet, you’ll be in big trouble.”

“Did you mean to give me 50 bottles for free?!”

“yes.”

“… You know what I’m going to do with that. “And you still want to give it to me?”

They will try to find out the recipe by digging into how the purification liquid is made, one by one, nano by nanometer.

I didn’t know about other alchemists, but it didn’t matter if Yul was developing it.

Isn’t this information I didn’t know in the first place?

“You can do that as much as you like. Because it doesn’t matter. Instead, if you have a personal wish, I would ask you not to share that information with others.”

“of course! The reason I want to research purified liquid is to study, not to steal other people’s research results. Please believe me.”

“Of course I believe it. “Because I believed in it, I readily offered to give it materials to study.”

Yul was overjoyed at my words.

“Alright, I think it’s time for everyone to be hungry, so I’ll go quickly prepare a meal. “Please wait.”

It was time to wait for the seasoning to soak into the chicken and meat, and when I thought it was enough, I got up to start cooking.

I promised to take the purification fluid with me when Yul leaves the store.

Since Yul and Franc had become reasonably close, it seemed like there wouldn’t be a big problem if they were left alone.

And just as I expected, the two of them chatted amicably even though I was away.

“What were you talking about? “They seemed very friendly.”

“I’m going to keep it a secret from you. “Don’t wonder.”

“really? “You’re hiding it from me?”

It was surprising that the two had already become close enough to talk about secrets.

“Are you sad?”

“No, it’s okay if the two of you become friends.”

“It wasn’t much of a story. “I praised him for being a good cook.”

“that’s right. “We talked about how the owner often cooks delicious dishes and things like that.”

“I’m eating a lot of what I’m doing now because it will be delicious.”

I didn’t feel too bad, but the two people tried to make excuses as if they had stabbed me.

In fact, he doesn’t seem to know that making such desperate excuses is more suspicious.

Actually, I didn’t mind that the two of them had fun swearing at me.

* * *

“It seems like you two have become very close.”

After the meal was over.

Yul’s eyes were drawn to the purification solution and he went back to the lab as soon as he ate, probably because he wanted to do research quickly.

Once we were alone again, I immediately asked Fran what it was like to be introduced to Yul.

“Was it a bit burdensome?”

I thought it might be a bit burdensome to suddenly be introduced to someone I had never anticipated.

Still, Fran smiled brightly as he looked at the two people, wondering if they were okay because they got along better than expected.
