“… These are the thoughts of the Blaze family. Please understand that the head of the household could not come in person.”

As soon as Jayla Blaze arrived in Preta, Academy Chairman Mureos came to see her.

To convey the most important business, the wishes of the Blaze family.

The Blaze family is not against her.

Mary Blaze, who started the incident, has now had her castle taken away and dismissed from the family.

I ask for forgiveness for the matriarch’s foolish judgment.

To summarize roughly, it was like this.

“Oh, no. I think it’s enough that the eldest daughter came.”

And, starting with the Blaze family, to gain the support of the Solte Kingdom nobles.

Mureos Avantreddin accepted her apology.

Normally, he would have ordered the head of the family who dared to oppose him to be punished directly.

Instead, I decided to skip over that part since I could owe them a debt, build a good relationship, and gain their cooperation.

‘Well, because I made a move to completely kick Mary Blaze out of the family. It would be right to just accept it this way.’

The Blaze family also made a decision at the risk of great blood loss.

There was also the idea of adjusting to that.

“Thank you.”

After saying hello, Chairman Mureos spoke to Zeira, who was about to leave.

“Now that you’re here, please take a look around the academy. I worked hard to make it, so I’m sure you’ll like it.”

“Oh, is that so?”

He had no intention of going back right away anyway, but was planning to go see his friend Lunarin Brettis.

Coincidentally, she is now a teacher at the academy.

I thought I could ask her for guidance.

“Then, could I ask Lunarin Brettis for guidance? We’ve known each other for a long time.”

“Hehe, sure. As for her class… I’ll go into it myself.”

So I called Lunalin and asked her to guide Zeira.

Students who were scheduled to take Lunarin’s class were surprised to suddenly be taught by Chairman Mureos.

#

“It’s been a while, Luna.”

“Hehe, it’s been a while since Jayra?”

The two shook hands, reunited for a long time, and slowly began to talk about the stories they had been holding back.

“So then I…”

“Hello, Teacher Lunarin.”

“Oh, okay, bye.”

While talking, students passing by spot Lunarin and nod to her.

“I’m a teacher. Is it good to hear?”

“Really? How about you give it a try? We are also looking for external teachers who are not adventurers.”

“Well, well…”

Teacher.

Zeira thought about it a little.

Anyway, the eldest son, Kin, will lead the family well.

Kin is so capable that he doesn’t even need her support.

Originally, I had planned to help Kin by his side and work for the family.

I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to find another job.

Teacher, adventurer, or royal wizard… Her talent would be welcomed with open arms wherever she went.

But these days, there is a different field that interests her.

“Magic is good, but interest in alchemy is also growing these days.”

“…Alchemy?”

Lunarin’s eyes instantly sparkle at the word alchemy.

Whether he knew it or not, Jaya smiled and continued speaking.

“Ugh. The ingredients are extracted by taking advantage of the characteristics of each material. The ingredients are combined to create a potion with one effect. This is similar to magic, but a little different.”

Extracting magical power, readjusting it according to the role, and creating a spell to complete the magic.

Creating a potion by extracting ingredients from ingredients, combining them according to their roles, and mixing them in appropriate doses.

Certainly magic and alchemy were in a similar context.

But the difference is that magic twists logic to create or transform something that is impossible in reality.

And alchemy is different in that it creates something new by appropriately combining things that make sense in the world.

“The difference is strangely attractive. Similar to magic, but different. Yet, it is possible to magically make something possible without deviating from reason.”

Zeira’s eyes were sparkling as she explained that.

That’s someone who has really found his true interest.

These were the eyes of someone who was truly engrossed in something.

“Oh my, really? That went well.”

Lunarin saw her sincerity.

They clapped their hands as if everything went well.

A person with the same eyes as Zeira.

And because she knew someone who had the perfect monstrous talent.

“There is a new alchemist who joined the general store this time. He came here on my recommendation, and his skills are amazing.”

“What? Really?”

Zeira reacts quickly to Lunarin’s words.

she asked with sparkling eyes.

“Now, a general store…? Can I go?”

“Hehe, of course. But…”

Then, Lunarin suddenly took on a serious expression.

“That person is an adventurer who was in the same party as your sister Mary.”

“…?”

I tilted my head at those words.

Zeira is startled.

It occurred to me.

Why was Mary cursed with sleeplessness by Chairman Mureos?

‘Now that I think about it, it was said that he aided and acquiesced in the attempt to commit violence against a former party member.’

He even said that when we were at parties together, he always acted overbearing and manipulated him.

No way, that person was the alchemist I was going to meet now.

It was a little bit difficult.

Perhaps he holds a grudge against Mary, and there is a high probability that she will not deal with him.

‘There was someone else to apologize to.’

Of course, that didn’t mean that Zeira had no intention of visiting.

Even if you don’t deal with it.

I felt that I must apologize for the atrocities committed by Mary.

“…Please guide me.”

“Okay, okay.”

Seeing Zeira’s determined face, Lunarin smiled as if it was as expected and took her to the general store.

His friend named Jay.

And the Blaise family, although Mary is strange, is a truly noble family that knows very well what it means to be noble.

It’s unlikely that Edin will do that, but he may be prejudiced against the Blaze family because of Mary.

She was thinking that she wanted to introduce them so that there would be no misunderstanding between them.

‘…But somehow, this feeling of increasing the difficulty level by increasing the number of rivals to attack. ‘What is it?’

For some reason, there was a feeling of anxiety and nervousness settling in a corner of my mind.

It didn’t seem that big of a deal, so she decided to just ignore it.

#

I never would have thought that Lunarin and Mary’s older sister were friends.

From what I heard, I heard that I once met Lunarin for a request when she was an adventurer.

We became friends because our views on magic and level of knowledge were quite similar.

When I look at my appearance, Mary’s face comes to mind.

The red hair and pretty face are definitely similar.

However, the atmosphere itself was quite different. Mary’s atmosphere was overbearing and had a tomboyish feel.

Jeira feels a bit more mature.

The body is a bit more… well, that aside.

Since it reminds me of Mary, it feels uncomfortable to meet her.

However, Lunarin also knows the relationship between me and Mary, and despite that, she went out of her way to introduce me.

Maybe you have an idea.

Because I think so.

“Edin, I’m sorry! I apologize on behalf of my younger brother.”

Suddenly, Mr. Jayra lowered his head with great force and apologized to me.

I was startled by the sudden force and took a slight step back.

“Yes?”

I apologize on behalf of my younger brother.

Moreover, a high-ranking noble even bowed his head to me, a commoner.

It’s definitely completely different from Mary.

Is there a reason Lunarin introduced it?

“No. Anyway, I’m not really angry right now… I don’t think it’s something for Jayla to apologize for.”

Isn’t that so?

If it was Mary’s fault in the first place, or if it was because she raised the child incorrectly, wouldn’t it be right for the parents to come and apologize?

It’s not like my sister comes and does it.

To begin with, I no longer feel any emotions toward Claude or the party members.

Well, you might think it’s annoying if he suddenly comes to you like Claude did.

Not only that, but the daughter of Marquis Blaze of the Salte Kingdom bowed her head and apologized as soon as they first met.

To be honest, I feel a little burdened.

“Phew. Thank you for saying that. For your information, Mary was held responsible for this incident and dismissed from the family.”

“…I see.”

It is said that nobles value appearance and honor as much as their lives.

Is this really something that would lead to the dismissal of a direct child?

The Blaze family is amazing.

Well, honestly, I’m not that interested.

“Hehehe, by the way, that’s not what I came to talk about today.”

Lunarin grinned and suddenly grabbed one of the potions from the shelf and handed it to Zeira.

“Now, this. Take a look.”

“Oh, oh… This is the potion that Mr. Edin made.”

She is staring at the potion with a very excited expression.

Are you interested in potions…alchemy?

“No way…!! This is…!!”

At that time, Zeira suddenly looks at me in surprise.

“Ji, did you really make it yourself? This?”

“Yes, yes. By the way.”

“Oh my god. It’s incredibly pure… Could it be that the Academy has a high-precision alchemy machine…? No, but Luna said earlier that Edin makes everything by hand… But is this something that can be done by hand? This is ridiculous…”

It seemed like he was moving things around with some sort of magic power.

He started muttering something in a trembling voice.

…Hmm, it feels like someone a little strange has come this time too.
