“Sponsor!”

“hi.”

In the past, he called me boss, but after finding out my identity, Yul called me sponsor.

Although the name change was awkward, I thought it wasn’t as bad as I thought, so I didn’t think there was a need to correct it.

Another change is that I have become more comfortable talking to Yul.

Until now, I had been using polite language because he was a valued customer, but since he found out that I was a supporter, I was asked to speak less, and I accepted.

“welcome. Please come inside.”

After finding out that I was a sponsor, I received an official invitation from Yul to his personal lab.

Until now, he had not been able to enter the lab due to the terms of the contract, but when he found out that the sponsor was me, he said he wanted to tell me in detail about his research.

Of course, I have entered and left a private laboratory a few times.

However, the place I entered at that time was a private living space where research was not being conducted.

All I did there was watch over Yul while he ate his lunch box.

“Surely you cleaned because I said I was coming?”

When I returned to my personal lab after a long time, the inside of the room was clearly cleaned up in a hurry.

“… “I’m always good at cleaning.”

“Hey~ I know something.”

Just by looking at the personal living space, I could tell that Yul had been cleaning this place all day.

“Ugh, come in quickly.”

“You didn’t prepare any food, right?”

“yes.”

Usually, the person who invited prepares the food, but I knew that I couldn’t expect food from Yul, so I asked him not to prepare any food.

That I would bring the food myself.

Yul knew my cooking skills, so he didn’t decline.

I put down the lunch box containing the food I brought on the table and said.

“Can I go inside and have a look?”

“yes. “Let me introduce you.”

It’s a lab I decorated, but a lot has changed since Yul came here.

Of course.

Because the owner of this place is not me, but Yul.

“oh.”

As I entered the lab, I smelled a strong herbal scent.

It was a familiar scent, as it was the scent I usually smelled every time I met Yul.

“Can I come closer?”

“yes. are you okay. “It is protected from foreign substances entering.”

In the center of the lab, Yul’s unique equipment, ‘Witch Cauldron + 12 Powers’, which I had lent to him, was bubbling.

“Is that the medicine?”

“yes.”

“that’s interesting.”

The color is really special to me! It seems to be saying.

“But, there’s a little problem.”

That’s the hair loss treatment that will make me rich.

“problem? “What a problem.”

As I was thinking about sitting on the money cushion, Yul hesitated and said,

“Well, there were side effects, and they were more serious than I thought.”

Is that also true?

“Side effects are inevitable. “What are the side effects?”

“The hair grows very quickly.”

“hair? “Is that the side effect when the original effect is working properly?”

“yes.”

“Does it grow where there is fur? Or is it starting to grow from the wrong place where there is no hair root? No, no. Let’s see what the situation is first.”

“Uh…if you come this way, I cut it off, but it will probably grow back.”

As we moved along the path, we came to a place where the animals that had taken the potion were located.

“Hairball?”

“oh! As expected, it happened again.”

There was a round ball of fur, presumed to be an animal.

Yul lifted the animal like he was used to and began to diligently cut its fur.

“I was able to get pregnant successfully because my hair kept growing. “This person’s symptoms were particularly bad.”

The child underwent surgery to completely remove the uterus, and it is said that the uterus was successfully regenerated and resulted in pregnancy.

However, the hair grows so quickly that it becomes a ball of fur.

“The side effects are quite severe, but I am guessing that the reason it has gotten to this level is because the drug is so effective.”

“I don’t think growing hair is such a bad side effect.”

“yes?”

You probably never thought of the side effects as a positive thing.

If I hadn’t known that this side effect could be used as a hair loss treatment, I would have seriously considered getting rid of her and the side effect.

“I mean, couldn’t this be used as a hair loss treatment? “If you look here, it looks like the hair has grown out in areas where it wasn’t originally, making it look like a ball of hair.”

If it has the effect of making hair grow even in places where there are no hair roots, it could be used as a hair loss treatment.

Yul’s eyes widened as if he had never thought of such a thing.

“mask… Some cure? Do you use my medicine to treat hair loss?”

It looked like he was extremely shocked.

To Yul, it must have been like a bolt from the blue to turn the research results in a wrong direction rather than the original purpose.

I hastily cleared up her misunderstanding.

“One is to be studied further and used as a proper infertility treatment, and this version is currently being used as a hair loss treatment.”

“ah!”

“More people than you think are suffering from hair loss. “This one medicine will save many people who are suffering.”

Since taking care of one’s appearance is a noble’s virtue, one becomes very stressed when one’s hair begins to fall out.

And in fact, it was normal for anyone to experience great stress if their hair continued to fall out.

“I’m a little confused because I’ve never thought that side effects can be considered as effects of the main drug.”

“I don’t think it’s important what purpose it was developed for. What’s important is the people who use this to get better from their illness.”

It might be just a side effect for her, but it could be a godsend for a sick person.

“…I’ll give it a try. But I hope you know that the number one priority for me has to be a treatment for infertility.”

“of course. “I didn’t intend to force it.”

Although Yul was uncomfortable, he seemed to think that there was truth in what I said, and promised to study the side effects according to my wishes.

Then, I said that I wanted to solve the problem with Princess Mona as well.

“Then we should throw a proper celebration party, right?”

“Another celebration party?”

“The party we hold again will feel like a formal banquet rather than a party with acquaintances. Many invited guests will come. “I’m planning to invite you from the top.”

“You invite people and even call them? why?”

Yul was curious because she didn’t know why such a party had to be held, and I thought for a moment about how to explain it to her.

“There are many reasons… It would be better to know what the situation is rather than not know at all, right?”

Yul nodded, saying he wanted to know too.

I soon gathered my thoughts and told them why we should have a party.

“You can get sponsorship and conduct research on your own, but starting to sell medicine on the market requires a lot of connections.”

As soon as the potion developed by Yul becomes known, hyenas will flock from all over.

When the purification liquid was sent into Thalia’s hands, wasn’t the aftermath huge?

At that time, only the big names rushed in, and if word got out that it could be a treatment for hair loss as a side effect, all kinds of people would rush in.

Since the purification liquid was something that no one in the middle of nowhere could dare think of, it ended rather neatly.

However, with all the hair loss treatments available here and there, I can’t help but think about giving it a try myself.

‘First of all, the imperial palace cannot covet hair loss treatments.’

It is true that purification fluid is an item that must be managed by the government, but hair loss treatment is not that important.

Even though the purification liquid was unavoidable, there was no way the nobles would sit still if the imperial family was greedy for even hair loss treatments.

That is why everyone must rush in and drive the nail in the right place before it becomes a mess.

Who does this object belong to and who is protecting it?

“I thought that if I conducted research and succeeded in developing it, it would be the end. I never thought there would be such complicated issues… .”

It’s only a brief explanation, but he looks sullen as if he has a headache.

“Actually, there is no need for an alchemist to worry about these issues. Just be aware of it. “Because people like me are there to solve these complex political problems.”

If this problem didn’t exist, there would be no need for alchemists to seek sponsors.

Wouldn’t it be okay to develop it yourself, make it into a product, and sell it?

Doing so can bring greater benefits.

But since that doesn’t work, sponsors exist.

The role is to enable alchemists to focus on their research and to help ensure that the products they create are sold properly.

“You must attend at least once.”

“Yes, it may be hard, but I like doing it. “That way, other nobles won’t touch you.”

“I suddenly became scared.”

“Haha, why should you be scared when you have so many people protecting you? And I’m not going to just do this research and be done with it. “Don’t you want to be recognized as an alchemist?”

For a genius alchemist, fame was something that was bound to follow.

“Other studies… .”

“I hear it’s usually not easy for alchemists to focus on one study. “Sometimes an interesting research comes to mind and it’s hard to resist the urge to do it.”

“that’s right! I’ve been like that too. Still, what I’m doing now is the most important, so I just wrote it down.”

“I will develop other potions through future research, but it would be good to build a solid reputation now for later.”

“yes.”

Yul nodded obediently at my words.

“I’m not sure how long it will take to reduce the side effects. So please don’t proceed too fast.”

“Okay, just tell me when you’re ready.”

“The process of reducing side effects may take longer than expected. Are you sure you don’t mind? In fact, even if most alchemists succeed in research, it sometimes takes as much time as development to reduce side effects.”

“It doesn’t matter how long it takes. And it’s not like there’s no result. “This potion has already been a great success.”

Even though it was a side effect, it was an ability that was not lacking even if it was said to be effective.

And if I knew Yul, he could have treated me so harshly and then showed up a few days later with an expression on his face, saying that the side effects had disappeared.

Isn’t Yul not just an alchemist, but a genius alchemist?

“Are there many people who would like those side effects?”
