You call that a question?

“Why are you telling me to say something that hurts my mouth?”

“That much..?”

When that potion goes on sale, it will sell like hot cakes.

Yul didn’t know that the potion he developed was no different from gold.

“Would you like me to be honest with you?”

“yes.”

“A hair loss treatment will be more popular than the original purpose of treating infertility. “You will make more money.”

Yul’s lips stick out, probably because his pride is hurt by my honest words.

“We will quickly develop a proper infertility treatment.”

“No problem. “I want there to be something a genius alchemist can’t do.”

“Ugh… !”

At that time, Yul suddenly buried his face in his knees.

I wondered why Yul, who said he would create a proper treatment with great determination, was like that.

“what’s the matter? Are you sick?”

“no. I was suddenly embarrassed to say something like this in front of my sponsor. “It’s not like making a fuss in front of an old man.”

“Ah~”

Come to think of it, Yul knew me as the great alchemist who developed the purifying liquid.

“If you don’t mind, may I ask for a little advice?”

“advice?”

What advice can someone who is not even a real alchemist give?

“Well, I think it’s funny that I’m giving advice to someone who’s more genius than me.”

“Please stop painting my face. “I’m not that great of a person.”

“The standards for myself are too strict. “You are a great alchemist.”

“The reason I developed this medicine was for my mother. There is no great purpose, and it is not a development in the hope that sick people will get better. I just hoped that my mother would get better with this medicine and be happy. In fact, I have never seriously thought about any other research plans. “After this research is over, I don’t really want to do any other research.”

It seems that the words I constantly told Yul about as a genius alchemist seemed like a burden to her.

In the end, Yul, unable to overcome the pressure, expressed his honest feelings.

Hobbies that you originally liked become boring when they become work, and when you achieve your goal, you end up not wanting to look at it for a while.

Because I knew that, I was able to calmly nod my head in response to Yul’s explosive words.

‘Isn’t it rather a good thing?’

Yul said that she was getting sick of alchemy, so it was a perfect time to take her to the unit.

As you know, isn’t Yul a child with such great talent in combat that it would be a shame to let him be a researcher?

“This can be happen.”

“to?”

Yul is puzzled as to whether my carefree answer surprised him.

“Is that the end?”

“So, when you enlist, you will enlist as a combatant, not a non-combatant?”

“to?”

I think it’s asking why it happens that way.

When a fish bites, you need to pull it in with a lot of force.

“When a hobby that you originally enjoy turns into work, you tend to get bored of it. In that case, you need to take a break by doing an activity that has nothing to do with that. In that respect, I don’t think it would be a bad idea for you to enlist as a combatant. “You are not just talented at alchemy.”

“to???”

“Sasha said that. It’s not unusual for your body to gain muscle. “They lamented how they could live with such a good body by making it so miserable.”

“I heard from Sasha that you have a nice body that builds muscle well… .”

He continued to tease Yul, who was confused, by asking him if he would like to challenge him to become a combatant.

“It makes no sense that I am a combatant.”

“Why doesn’t it make sense? If I go into the non-combat world, I have to keep doing research that I don’t even want to go near? By force. Did you know that if the military researches and develops something, most of the rights are taken away by the country? As far as I know, I heard that less than 5% are recognized. Are you going to study while being treated so unfairly?”

In fact, there are alchemists who live happily even 5% of the time when they meet a crooked sponsor.

However, I had no intention of letting Yul get caught by such an evil business owner and live a life of exploitation.

I just want to give wings to her genius.

Because that will be helpful for humanity.

“I never said I didn’t want to go near it.”

“It’s because you haven’t experienced the taste of money yet. “That’s so bullshit.”

Besides, would the imperial palace, who found out about Yul’s genius, leave her alone?

They will try to keep him in the imperial palace somehow.

Rather than wasting Yul’s genius for the imperial family for 10 years, it would be helpful to see a better outcome by putting his research aside for a while while being active in the combat world.

“I will clearly show you how much I can earn with hair loss treatment. You’ll never forget the taste of money once you’ve tasted it, right? If you think you have to lose 95% of it to the imperial family, you’ll probably be so angry that you won’t be able to sleep well. If you join the combat world, you have full rights to personal research. Even then, if you want, I am willing to continue supporting you.”

He must have gone crazy because I kept trying to lure him into the combat world.

“They say it’s good to go into the combat world, but I’ve never actually been in combat. “If we suddenly decided to change to that direction, all the teachers would be against it.”

“A teacher is not someone who lives your life and takes responsibility for you. And that you can do well can be proven by following Sasha’s training well.”

“What does that have to do with combat?”

“It doesn’t matter. “You do the same thing that the combat kids do at the Shasha training ground.”

Being able to do that without difficulty means that Yul has tremendous talent.

Even if you’re a genius, it’s useless if you can’t use it properly, but Yul was slowly realizing his physical abilities and talents with Sasha’s help.

“Sponsor, wouldn’t it be better for me to continue my research? You are also sponsoring my research. “What are you going to do if you really decide to go into battle like this?”

“doesn’t care. Even if you go into combat, you’ll do well there. “I didn’t invest in the alchemist Yul, I invested in a person named Yul.”

“!!”

“I believe that you are a person who will do well in anything.”

“that… hmm… all right. “I’ll think about it.”

Yul, who couldn’t speak for a while, answered shyly.

“Either way, choose something you can enjoy. “I will support you no matter what you do.”

“… thank you.”

I hope Yul changes his interest to the combat world, but I don’t know what the outcome will be.

“Mr. Boss!!”

“Oh, it’s a surprise. “You open the door like that..!”

“That’s not important now!”

With a loud noise, Hash and Narrell appeared.

Of course, it was Hash that made a fuss.

“Ha~ What is it? “What are you making a fuss about?”

“Did you hear what I said?”

“What are you talking about?”

“See, this guy doesn’t know?”

Neirel shakes his head at Hash’s words.

It’s ridiculous that he suddenly appears out of nowhere and says something I don’t know.

“What on earth am I talking about that I don’t know about?”

“Maybe you’ll be surprised when you hear it?”

“Are you intentionally not telling me to make me feel frustrated?”

Hash and Narrell burst into laughter at my words.

“I wonder? Shall I tell you?”

“Okay, please let me know. “I’m going crazy with curiosity.”

“Ugh! “This is news from the front lines.”

The front line?

I really need to hear this.

“The front line? “Go ahead and tell me.”

When I spoke with a serious expression, Narrell saw Hash’s playful face and said,

“They say it was a great victory.”

“ah! “I was going to say something.”

“lie. You tried to tease and let me know. “Then you get upset.”

A huge victory?

If there was good news coming from the front lines, I thought I would hear it from Thalia.

But I didn’t know that Hash and Narrell would unexpectedly come to tell me the news.

“What on earth are you doing these days, and you don’t even know this important news? “When I come to the general store, it’s always closed.”

“I am the one whose construction completely failed.”

“It’s amazing that you can run a business so carelessly and not go bankrupt!”

“I have a lot of money.”

It may not be possible to match the wealth of a historic noble family, but I think it is only a matter of time.

“Anyway, tell me in detail. “I think it’s good news that we won a big victory.”

What happened on the front lines?

Instead of making a fuss, I asked Narrell, and the child calmly began to explain.

“The newly formed unit was at the forefront and killed a lot of monsters.”

“Our sisters!!”

Hash agrees with Narrell’s explanation.

I ignored Hash’s fuss as much as I could and listened to Narrell’s explanation, and it seemed like exactly what I expected happened.

Thalia’s troops were at the forefront and advanced through the contaminated zone.

They pushed hard and succeeded in driving out the monsters swarming deep in the contaminated area.

Rather than simply preventing monster attacks, the empire advanced deep into the contaminated zone.

From the perspective of an empire that has been suffering, it will feel like a tooth has been removed.

‘Even if we haven’t achieved any meaningful results yet, news like this would be great.’

Perhaps the purified liquid may be put to practical use sooner than expected.

“They said they killed a ton of monsters! Isn’t it amazing? “They did what no one else could do!”

Hash clenched his fists and stamped his feet in excitement.

Hash, filled with excitement, snorts, causing envy and a desire to win.

“I want to go and fight together.”

“How can I get involved in a topic that only touches my waist?”

Since it was said by Hash, who is prone to accidents, I was naturally worried.

If you run away from home and say you want to enlist, you might be wondering what to do.

“I will become stronger!! “I will become incredibly strong and kill monsters just like my sisters did!”

Hash and Narrell were children with special talents even though they were not SSRs.

Of course, that doesn’t mean Hash and Narrell can have the same capabilities as SSR.

I have never seen anyone with better skills than the SSR I raised.

Couldn’t Thalia, who lived her whole life to protect the empire, keep up with the children’s skills?
