Follow me~♪ Follow me~ Follow me~ Follow me~♪ Follow me~♪

It seems like unknown music is coming from somewhere.

Even though it was clearly an auditory hallucination, I felt good because the music playing softly played a part in making me feel the emotions I was feeling now.

No, I’m so moved that I feel like crying.

In the end, I couldn’t hold it in anymore and spit out my emotions.

“Is this heaven?”

To give an alchemist such a perfect laboratory!

I thought this might be my own paradise given by God, without the need for religious activities.

“Are you sure this is the lab I will be using? I can’t believe it. I feel like I’m dreaming. “Am I qualified to use a place like this?”

I pinched my cheek to make sure it wasn’t a dream.

And through the pain I felt, I knew that this moment was not a lie.

“ha ha ha! “You seem to like it.”

“of course. “How could you not like it?”

“From what I can see, the facilities are good. “It wouldn’t be easy for an active alchemist to have a personal laboratory of this level.”

It wasn’t just about having good facilities, but the dean, who was a non-expert, didn’t seem to notice that.

Is it okay to receive sponsorship for such an amazing research lab?

‘It’s too burdensome. But I can’t refuse.’

In fact, when we accepted the sponsorship, we were making ambitious plans.

The plan was how to decorate the lab, what new items to purchase, etc.

‘Because I can’t waste the amount of support I received.’

Several times a day, various objects came to mind and were eliminated.

Equipment was selected after careful consideration of cost-effectiveness.

When I finally got the call that the lab was ready, I think I was still thinking about how to decorate it in my head.

“I don’t think it would be enough to call this a perfect laboratory.”

perfect.

Alchemists hate the word perfection.

The alchemist’s ultimate goal.

In order to create the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’, perfection must be pursued, but no one knows that it is a vain dream.

Nevertheless, looking at this lab, I decided to use the word perfect.

“ha ha ha! “I must emphasize that you really, really liked it.”

“I want to convey the emotions I felt. “It brings tears to my eyes.”

The reason I thought it was a dream at first was because it hit my taste so perfectly that I thought it might have been inside my head.

It was shocking.

All the equipment he wanted to get was in the lab.

The equipment that had been lowered in price due to its cost-effectiveness has now become the highest-end, latest model.

“Is your sponsor an alchemist?”

“huh? alchemist?”

“yes. I think he might be an active alchemist. Otherwise, there is no way you would have known about and purchased such a specialized product. “They are all the latest models and of the highest quality.”

The new versions of the items used in the academy lab were sparkling and dazzling me.

They are clamoring to use it quickly.

“Dean!”

“hmm?”

“I’m really sorry, but can I ask you a favor?”

“Tell me.”

“I really want to say thank you to our sponsors. He said he didn’t want to meet me because it was burdensome, so I prepared a simple letter. “I wish there was a way to convey this.”

It was impossible to wipe my mouth after receiving such an amazing laboratory.

“Give it to me. “I will deliver it for you.”

“No, this is not the last time. I want to keep in touch with you on a regular basis. “I thought a letter wouldn’t be a burden.”

“Do you want to send it regularly?”

“yes.”

“Hmm, if that’s the case…ah! Send it here. Then they will take care of delivering the letter.”

Fortunately, the dean seemed to know how to contact the sponsor.

When I took the business card the dean gave me and checked it, the name and store location were written at the top.

“thank you!”

“Giggles! Yes, yes, ah! And if there are any materials you need, ask for them. “If it’s not something picky, they’ll get it to you right away, and even if it’s a tricky ingredient, they’ll get it to you if they can.”

“yes! thank you.”

When the dean finished his work and left, leaving me alone in the lab, my heart started pounding.

When other people were around, I tried to control my emotions without showing them as much as possible, but now there was no need to do that anymore.

“Aaaa!!!!! it’s crazy! i love it!! oh my god!! “Aaaah!”

As I walked around the lab, I let out a squeal of happiness.

The soundproofing was perfect, so there was no need to hide my joy.

“Heo-eok, heo-eok!”

I run around so much that I quickly become out of breath.

Still, it was good.

My steps are as light as walking on clouds.

While looking around the lab, exclamations of exclamation kept coming out.

“oh my god! “This is very expensive.”

It was a fun time.

I concentrated so hard that I didn’t notice how time passed.

Meanwhile.

found a treasure

The sponsor must have mischievously hidden it on purpose.

It’s hidden so you can’t find it unless you look closely.

“Huh!”

I covered my mouth with my hand.

It may have been well-soundproofed, but it seemed like there would be a commotion if the emotions of this moment came out of my mouth.

When I remove the cloth, I finally see ‘it’ fully revealed.

Indescribable emotions rushed over me and I fell to my knees without realizing it.

“ah… .”

Thump-thump-thump-

My heart was pounding so hard that it hurt.

Crawling across the floor, I approached ‘it’.

“This… this… ah… !”

Many words rose up in my throat and then fell down.

I couldn’t finish the sentence, so I held it in my hand.

Sting-!

Creepy!

Goosebumps appeared all over my body.

It felt as hard, sharp, and cold as cast iron, but I instinctively knew what this pot was capable of.

“… “How could you not know?”

Grumbling-

The corners of my eyes became moist, and I was so overcome with emotion that tears began to flow.

“You were waiting for me, right?”

Wow -!

You can see it with your own eyes.

That ‘that thing’, which appears to others as a crude pot, answered what he said.

He must have been waiting anxiously for himself for a long time.

“I’m sorry for coming now.”

I have been greatly indebted to my sponsor.

I don’t know how to repay it.

‘You have to work really hard.’

If you receive this kind of support but fail in your research, you will not be able to hold your head high because you will be in disgrace.

Tough!

I clenched my fists and strengthened my resolve.

Everything is urging me to study quickly.

Suddenly a thought occurred to me.

“I have no confidence.”

I am confident that I will fail.

It will definitely succeed.

* * *

“Use it.”

I heard that the Dean relayed the whole story.

“hello!”

Why did he come again?

“Uh, yeah. Welcome.”

“I came to buy something today too.”

Yul shyly declared war that he would steal a lot today as well.

“Since you come to a general store, it’s natural to buy things. “You can choose as many as you want.”

“lol.”

Word must have been sent to the merchant run by Erintina to request the necessary ingredients.

But why did Yultugi visit our general store again?

I couldn’t ask her why she came to our general store, so I stayed silent and watched her choose the items.

But I guess Yul also had something to say to me.

“Hey, boss.”

“yes. “Don’t you have any items?”

“no. “Besides that, can I just ask you a question?”

“Question?”

“Yes, I think it’s an impolite question, but… .”

I told Yul, who was hesitant, to ask questions willingly.

“it’s okay. do.”

“Do you have your own special way of storing ingredients?”

“How to store it? “It has to exist.”

If you say no, the condition of the item cannot be explained, so you have no choice but to answer yes.

Moreover, there is actually something similar there.

Aren’t draw items placed in the inventory?

However, lottery items do not get damaged even if you leave them outside.

Isn’t it natural that there is no expiration date in the first place?

So, even if there is a special storage method, the item is special, not the storage method.

“I told you last time that I was looking for a sponsor.”

“I did.”

According to the dean, it was so good that he thought his mouth was going to tear.

“This time, a sponsor supported the lab. “There is a separate room to store materials, and I realized that the items I bought here were special.”

Since the items purchased from me do not spoil over time, it was natural for me to feel strange.

“ah! Of course, I’m not asking how to store it. I’m just saying that I’ll be coming here often because I know the stuff here is good. “If you experiment with this product, the error in the results is not large.”

In the end, Yul’s words were a declaration that he would continue to buy products from our general store because he liked our products.

With the money I donated, my general store!

I have no idea how to express this terrible incident.

‘It can’t go on like this. I have to do something.’

A brain that works furiously.

Luckily, one solution comes to mind to resolve the situation.

With this method, there may be no need to fear the appearance of Yultugi.

“If you’re going to keep buying in bulk, how about writing a list and sending it to the store?”

“yes? Order?! No, no! “I can’t cause trouble like that.”

Yeah, no.

“It’s a bit of a business, but you have to take care of your customers. “It would be wrong not to manage customers who buy a lot.”

“Thank you for your consideration, but I like the opportunity to come and check out and choose items in person. “Thank you just for your words.”

Unfortunately, Yultugi rejected the negotiation proposal I proposed!

I sighed softly and spoke as if nothing had happened.

“When I’m busy, I sometimes have to pick and bring ingredients one by one.”

“ah… .”

When I made the offer again, this time he hesitated, perhaps because he was tempted.

“Then may I ask you a separate favor?”

Now, if you start researching in earnest, you won’t even think of things like general stores.

Isn’t Yul the problem because he’s so absorbed in research that he doesn’t even eat?

It was clear that if there was no one by his side to take care of him, he would collapse from malnutrition and lack of sleep.

It made no sense for her to keep coming to our general store to buy ingredients.
