“Is it true that the contaminated area can really be purified as rumored?”

“of course. That’s why it’s called purification liquid.”

Up to this point, it was a common sense question.

“I heard that if you spray it, the pollution will be immediately purified?”

“There is no such crazy substance in the world. “Is that an effect that makes sense?”

It’s not even X Breeze, so there’s no way it would make sense to say that spraying it lightly would purify the pollution, right?

But the kids were all asking me questions as if whether it made sense or not was not a consideration at all.

At first, I tried my best to answer, but as the quality of the questions gradually decreased, I ended up laughing.

“Ah, wasn’t this one too? “I thought that might be the case since purification fluid is such a nonsensical product.”

“It is nonsense to say that it will be purified as soon as you spray it, and it will take a few days. “The purification speed also varies depending on how much capacity is used.”

Alchemists who were still investigating the purification liquid were calculating the dosage that would produce the highest efficiency.

I didn’t need to worry about that part, so I didn’t look into it in detail.

“Then there is a rumor that the purification liquid is actually made from that. Is this true?”

“With that? what is that.”

“hey. “Are you really asking that?”

“You’re curious!”

“???”

A question that divides opinions even among children.

“What on earth is this happening? I’m curious, so tell me. “What kind of nonsense are you trying to say?”

“that is… .”

And when I heard what the kids said, I was so embarrassed that I kept my mouth shut.

“Is this really what comes out of the mouth of the Green Sprout Lady?”

“Ugh! That’s why I stopped you!”

The question the kids asked was this.

The truth behind the strange rumor that purification fluid is actually made from male secretions.

“Can you believe it’s true!!!”

“Ugh, I thought we wouldn’t either. It’s just that there are rumors like that. lol.”

“Now that it’s gotten to this point, it’s even more surprising that you guys have been picking up such strange rumors.”

I sighed as I looked at Shine’s awkward smile.

And I decided to stop asking questions from kids that showed me what a real makjang is.

“Now stop asking questions.”

“evil! Wait. “I’ll stop joking now and ask a proper question.”

“… “Is it the last time?”

“yes! So is it true that pollution can disappear in a few days?”

“yes.”

“If you developed that, it would be amazing. “Did you go to the imperial palace and meet His Majesty?”

“I wanted to ask you this too!”

“Your Majesty the Emperor!! Wow~ I’m so jealous.”

When children hear the word ‘emperor,’ their eyes widen brightly.

Even if the emperor had called me, I would have hated it.

And all the royal family saw was the third prince who was blinded by money.

I didn’t think there was any need to tell the kids about the crappy royal family, so I decided not to go into specifics.

“The reason I went to the imperial palace this time was because there was a difference of opinion with the nobles regarding commercialization. “Is your Majesty someone you can meet so easily?”

“No matter what, we have developed something that can quickly eliminate pollution?”

In my opinion, whoever developed the purification liquid would have the opportunity to have an audience with the emperor.

However, the emperor was not that interested in political affairs.

“After all, practical work is done by nobles.”

The children’s excitement subsided a little when they heard that they had not been able to meet the emperor.

However, since I had done so many things, my curiosity still remained.

The attention shifted from the object called ‘purification fluid’ to the person ‘me’.

“It must be an onion, because no matter how much our boss peels it, new things keep coming out.”

“I always knew our boss was a great person! “Not everyone can come up with the idea of cleaning up contaminated areas in the first place.”

“Honestly, at this rate, I’m starting to get a little scared of you.”

I tilted my head when Shine said that I was scared.

“What am I afraid of?”

“Aren’t you really like a saint sent by God? “It’s okay for us to act cocky, right?”

“Why are you doing this too? “No.”

I’m sick of Talia just talking about being a saint.

I don’t know why they are doing this.

“No, think about it. Everything is ready. From now on, if we do our best, we can clean up the contaminated area and reclaim the land. “Have you thought this was even possible?”

“I see. “It’s a situation that you created from beginning to end.”

“Even so, it’s all useless if you don’t catch the monster.”

Of course, I am not denying my hardships.

However, all of my plans were ultimately effective only when these children joined the military and defeated monsters.

“You don’t have to be humble in front of us. You are the one who raised us, and you are the one who told my mother to create the unit. In addition, they have now developed a purification solution and created a way to purify the contaminated area.”

“Looking at the list of things you did, all we have to do is bring a fork to the prepared meal and eat.”

The children nodded and looked at me as if they were looking at someone great.

“It’s burdensome.”

“You haven’t been able to see Your Majesty right now, but eventually you will meet Your Majesty someday.”

The central nobles who frequently visit the imperial palace consider it an honor for their family to meet the emperor.

So the children will know that I will consider it a great honor to meet the emperor.

‘If you meet me in person, your thoughts will completely change. It’s still a long way off.’

Deciding to postpone the troublesome issue of the royal family for later, I looked at Franc.

In the letter, I clearly wrote that I should come alone if possible, but I told the kids alone, which made Fran, who came with me, feel a little offended.

It seemed like he wasn’t planning on seeing me one-on-one until he did something, and I was a little impatient because I thought that could happen soon when the main scenario starts.

I needed time to talk openly with that guy before I became an adult.

“It’s getting late at night now, shouldn’t we go back?”

The timing was right when it was time for the kids to go home.

“oh! “It’s already time for the dormitory to close.”

“I have to go now.”

Because it was close to the academy, it was a bit of a problem that the kids didn’t want to go even though it was late at night.

The kids, who had barely held on, got up from their seats in a mess.

And I said to Fran who was packing up his luggage among the kids.

“franc.”

Even though I knew the kids would hear everything I said, I had no choice but to sing Franc.

And I decided to firmly nail it down with words that could never escape.

“yes?”

“I have something to tell you, so you can stay for a while.”

“Poout!!!!!!!”

“Cough! Cough!”

“Oh my… .”

Fran, the person involved, opened his eyes as if he had not understood the situation, but a violent reaction came from the other side.

Fran, who belatedly realized what I had said, stammered.

“Ji, now? “If I don’t go right away, the dormitory will be closed, right?”

“I could just sleep here for a day. “You know I have a room for you to sleep in.”

Although it’s only for a short time, hasn’t Frank stayed here before?

“suddenly! I remembered something urgent!! Ooh, shall we just leave?!”

“Whew! “We were so oblivious.”

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

“… … .”

The kids rush out of the general store at the speed of light.

There was no hesitation in leaving only the franc.

I don’t know where the clumsy look has gone.

‘If it’s those sneaky kids, it’s clear they’ll have a shameless misunderstanding… .’

The problem was that they were not the only ones to have such misunderstandings.

While the kids caught his attention for a moment, Fran’s unusually pale skin was turning bright red.

It was even more absurd that he calmly fanned his hand, probably because he knew his face was burning.

“For your information, I have no intention of doing anything unscrupulous to you.”

“… I know best that you are not that kind of person. “I didn’t misunderstand that.”

I wanted to ask him why his face was red, but I decided not to.

“I thought we should talk, but the timing wasn’t right.”

“What are you talking about with me?”

“Now that you’re an adult, shouldn’t we definitely end our relationship?”

I couldn’t just ignore it forever.

I thought that would be hurtful to Fran.

“… “Am I not good enough?”

Apparently, Fran misunderstood that I was going to say something negative.

I felt bad seeing him so scared and hesitant.

“We needed to talk seriously. “I’m not trying to argue about who did something wrong and who didn’t do something wrong.”

“yes.”

“Let’s talk openly and honestly with each other.”

“Yes I will.”

“You know that the problem now is because of how you repay the favor, right?”

To return the favor, Fran offered to become my wife.

At first, I thought I couldn’t give what I worked so hard for to someone else, so it was true that I gave it to my wife with my dark intentions.

This is my mistake.

I had no idea Fran would take this so seriously.

‘I thought you’d get sick of the old man for being so mean.’

However, Fran gave himself to me before enlisting and was making plans to commit to the next 10 years.

If it was the Fran I knew, there was no way he would forget the person who gave him his body no matter how much time passed.

I didn’t intervene and turn things dark, but basically Fran was a very obsessive character.

Once you choose one, you won’t easily give up your stubbornness.

And trying to be my wife is probably one of those stubborn things that won’t be easily broken.

“Isn’t it funny that now we’re talking about returning favors or something? “I think I have fully repaid the favor if I can get free treatment when I get hurt like you treated me today.”

“no.”

“No?”

I didn’t think Fran would readily agree, but as expected, a backlash erupted.

“That’s something you can just get if your acquaintances ask for it. “I’m not returning the favor at all.”

“Your abilities are special. You won’t say you don’t know, right? Your healing ability is incomparably superior to that of other healing awakeners. “You should know that I have repaid you enough just by becoming your friend.”

This is a world where connections are power.

Just the fact that I had established a relationship with her by saving her was of great value.
