Chapter Index

    I think we need to make the sponsorship happen as quickly as possible.

    “With this… With this… “I have about half of this left over, but you never know!”

    Yultugi began to sweep away the shelves he had worked so hard to organize.

    In the place where the girl passed, only an empty shelf remains.

    “hmm.”

    Where did the hesitation that was seen when paying the bills earlier go? Yul’s hand when choosing items was unstoppable.

    ‘Is there really not much development left?’

    I know you’re excited because your research has made tremendous progress, but if it gets developed without you being able to sponsor it, you’ll be in trouble.

    So it was necessary to find out how far Yul’s research had progressed.

    “I don’t know what you’re researching, but seeing that you’re buying so many, I guess there’s not much left to develop.”

    The innocent Yul immediately took the bait as soon as I threw the fishing rod.

    “No, there is still a long way to go before it is completed. What’s important is that the experiment that had been failing so far was successful. “The ingredients the owner sold were a great help!”

    There’s still a lot left to complete… .

    Still, I couldn’t let down my guard.

    ‘If I keep going now, I might finish it in an instant.’

    An eccentric genius.

    Don’t people called geniuses often show actions that go beyond basic common sense?

    In that respect, it seemed necessary to move a little faster.

    “But may I ask what experiment you are conducting?”

    “Am I experimenting? “Are you interested?”

    It was something that had to be completely hidden, but Yul actually liked the attention.

    “You buy so many things, I can’t help but be curious.”

    “The product I’m inventing is a fertility drug!”

    “… yes?”

    “Hehe, it’s a bit of a unique topic, isn’t it?”

    “no. I think it is a worthwhile field. “There are couples who suffer from pregnancy.”

    “My adoptive parents are like that. My mother couldn’t get pregnant so she adopted me. “It’s a very fortunate thing for me, but seeing people suffer from suffering because they remain with Han for the rest of their lives made me want to develop it.”

    It’s a pity, but the item the girl hoped for was never developed.

    Just as the commonly known Viagra was initially studied as a treatment for high blood pressure and angina pectoris, it received new life due to side effects.

    The side effects of the girl’s medicine were so effective that it caught the attention of high-ranking nobles and became the reason they were targeted.

    “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a medicinal herb so full of life. In fact, I couldn’t experiment with quality products because I didn’t have enough money. “This is probably the only place you can get something like this at this price.”

    Yul didn’t come here early in the morning and wait for the general store to open for no reason.

    Since they were selling items that were not easily available at a low price, it seemed like they were greedy.

    “We will continue to sell this amount of products consistently, so there is no need to be unreasonably greedy.”

    “yes… .”

    Even though I said it several times, I still don’t get any answers.

    I can feel that you don’t believe me.

    I guess it can’t be helped because I’m greedy for ingredients.

    If you keep buying things here, one day you will believe me.

    “Check please.”

    gulp-!

    So the time for reckoning has come once again.

    “… let’s begin.”

    “yes.”

    Yul, very nervous, holds his wallet and bites his lip nervously.

    Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-

    As the amount gradually increases, Yul’s nervousness becomes more and more severe.

    It was a price that made me wonder if I could spend this much while calculating the price of the item.

    ‘And where did this much money come from?’

    The Yul I knew had no way of making this much money.

    “The price is still a bit high today.”

    “Ugh! Uh, how much is it?”

    When I tell him the price, Yul’s hands start to tremble.

    “The bird, uh, came out sooner than I thought?”

    I was surprised by his rather strong attitude, so I spoke to resolve my curiosity.

    “Since you are researching something great, you must have many sponsors.”

    “It’s a shame, but there’s no one in particular who supports me.”

    “why? It looks very promising to me. If we succeed in developing it, won’t many nobles be interested? “I guess that’s why you bought so much.”

    “no. This is all debt. debt.”

    Debt?

    Although Yul studied hard, he was not the type of person who went to the extent of incurring debt.

    “Because the research is going so well, I naturally become a bit greedy.”

    “Well, no matter what, you don’t have to go into debt, do you? “How about actively seeking sponsors?”

    “I think the boss views me very favorably.”

    “The more promising a talent you are, the worse it would be to take on debt. Because that will hold you back. “It would be a good idea to pay off your debt as quickly as possible or find a sponsor.”

    “Thank you for your words.”

    Yul seemed to think that what I said was pretentious, but it was all sincere and meant to be helpful.

    The information I delivered to the dean went well and was scheduled to be delivered to Yul when school starts soon.

    It was Yul’s choice to decide whether to receive sponsorship or not, and I hoped what I said would help him make that decision.

    Of course, this time too, I didn’t hesitate to take all the money from Yul’s wallet and put it in the register.

    * * *

    Crorock- Crorock-

    “Keueuung.”

    A hunger I didn’t feel when I was concentrating on research.

    I became dazed by the sound of my stomach and the fluttering of my eyelids.

    “Aww, no!”

    I opened both my eyes.

    If you just follow the eyelids that are about to close, all the new reagents that you spent a lot of money on will end up in a mess.

    There should not be even the slightest error.

    Bubbly, bubbling-

    The boiling medicine was emitting a stronger scent as time passed.

    “If this is successful, we will be able to accelerate research.”

    When I think of my mother, all the sleep that had been falling on me disappears.

    of course.

    “Hmm~”

    Although I couldn’t hold back the yawn.

    Knock knock-

    “Ugh… to?”

    I came to my senses.

    ‘Tannae!’

    I don’t know when I fell asleep.

    The fact that someone was knocking on the lab door didn’t even enter my mind.

    I hurriedly looked at the place where the reagent was boiling, and sure enough, the reagent had lost its brilliant light green color and was burning to a dark, foul-smelling brown color.

    “Ahhh!!! no!”

    Such a stupid mistake!

    “Excuse me… ??”

    “Ahhh! It was completely ruined!! Two hours have passed. “I can’t use it at all!!!!!!”

    The bottom part had burned a long time ago and was emitting black smoke.

    “If this happens, I have to throw it all away… .”

    I bought it because I was in enough debt to worry about the owner of the general store.

    I wanted to give it to my mother as a present to show off, so I gave up a lot of things and went into debt to buy materials, but I couldn’t sleep so I lost it all.

    “Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!! What kind of drug development is going on while making such stupid mistakes? .”

    “It seems like I came in at just the right moment.”

    “ah?”

    While you are preoccupied with your mistakes.

    I was startled by the sudden voice and looked towards the door.

    The person standing in front of the door was none other than the Dean.

    I never thought the dean would come at a time like this.

    I was so embarrassed that I had failed the experiment by falling asleep so pathetically.

    “Ha, Dean… ?sorry. I am… .”

    “Haha, it’s okay. are you okay. “I know that you can’t sleep properly because you’re concentrating on your research.”

    “Come on in. “It’s shabby, but.”

    The lab was not organized at all, it was narrow, and it was even hot, perhaps because of the blazing reagents.

    Still, the ingredients were organized in a designated place, and the temperature wasn’t a big problem other than being uncomfortable.

    If there had been a problem with storing the ingredients, the temperature would have been changed, but since the box for storing the ingredients was a specially designed box, it was not a problem.

    “The lab is very small. “Even though we are receiving support from the Academy, are there still many shortcomings?”

    “There are so many considerations at the academy.”

    “It would have been much better if I had received more proper support. “You wouldn’t have lost sleep because of your research.”

    “They provide a free laboratory and a monthly stipend. I still think I have been blessed enough. “This level of support is too much for me.”

    The dean shook his head at my words.

    “No, it is not undeserved support. The support is sorely lacking. “Would you like to see this?”

    “what is this?”

    A piece of paper shown by the dean.

    After reading what was written on the paper, I looked at the dean in embarrassment.

    “This… “It’s a sponsorship contract, right?”

    “okay. “I came here because I thought it would be a good thing for you.”

    It’s been a while since the owner of the general store asked if he could find a sponsor, and he was already trying to find one.

    “Did this support really come to me? In my opinion, this sponsorship is too good even if the conditions are good.”

    “The support you received is correct. “I think this sponsorship will be a great opportunity for you. What do you think?”

    It was so good that I thought I was a fool not to accept this sponsorship.

    It is said that they will pay you a lot of money, provide a laboratory, and if you tell them in advance, they can obtain as much research material as possible.

    Instead, they asked for a stake in the results of the research, but the requirement for full support was only 30%.

    Even if I asked for 51%, someone who was in a hurry would have been tempted.

    Just like himself, who went into debt to obtain materials and then burned them.

    “I’m still so dazed and don’t know what to do. “I can’t believe this opportunity has come to me.”

    “I’m not saying you should decide right away. “Think about it calmly and when you make a decision, come talk to me.”

    “By the way, is this person who wants to sponsor me well known to you, Dean? “I’m curious as to how you knew me and pointed out my support.”

    How on earth does this person know that he has never achieved any great achievements and is stuck in a lab doing research?

    “I recommended it. You are a consistent supporter of the Academy, but you say you would like to sponsor a talented person this time? “I thought of you right then.”

    “wow! Dean…!”

    If this sponsorship went well, it would be like receiving a favor from the dean that I could not repay.

    “Don’t thank me. “After all, this is the person who supports you.”

    “But if it wasn’t for the dean, this support wouldn’t have come to me. Thank you so much, Dean.”

    “Hehehe! Okay, okay. “He’s a good person, so don’t worry and think positively.”

    “yes! thank you.”

    “Oh~! And can you keep the details of your donation a secret? “If other students find out about this, they probably won’t just celebrate.”

    “ah…! Okay.”

    Since this was a sponsorship involving so much money, it seemed necessary to be careful.
