I ran so hard for one goal.

That’s why I felt this sense of helplessness.

The sponsor said it was time to take a break, but for someone who had no memory of ever taking a proper break, taking a break all of a sudden was too daunting.

‘I don’t know what to do with my time.’

Fortunately, there is still research left to do so that the two products can be more fully commercialized.

If even this ends, there really will be nothing to do.

That’s when you really need to take a break.

As was my habit, I went out to my personal lab and continued my research and let out a small sigh.

“Time flies today. “When I was having so much fun researching, I didn’t even notice the passage of time.”

In the blink of an eye, the day goes by and it’s the next day, so I’ve been surprised more than once.

From the beginning, research was a series of waiting, so I wasn’t used to passing time.

‘While I was waiting, I was so busy thinking about what to do next that I lost track of time. In addition, there was a special pot, so the time was shortened.’

In order to produce results, the process of accurately selecting ingredients, making them, and later checking the effectiveness required a lot of time.

However, if you conduct research using the pot provided by the sponsor, the time to check the results is significantly reduced.

This pot was not something that just anyone could get.

If you were to tell a senior alchemist about the function of this cauldron, his eyes would roll over because he would want it.

He himself was so surprised when he checked the function that he didn’t know what to do.

‘I can’t just make fun of this, so I have to make something of it.’

You can’t make fun of something this great.

I tried making a potion using whatever ingredients I could find.

Although the sponsor was selling his products through the top, the ones he had just made were potions that had not been discussed in advance.

“It seems like it’s finished, but… .”

What I made now were combat-type potions that I had never paid much attention to.

In the meantime, I mainly made things that were difficult to make to test my skills, but now I was making potions for my own use.

The ingredients of combat-type potions themselves were difficult to handle, and care was needed as they could explode if mixed incorrectly.

“Maybe I’m a bit of a genius.”

I never even thought about this before my sponsor always told me I was a genius.

I didn’t do any research comparing my skills with others.

However, as if I had been brainwashed by the boss’s repeated comments, I often had funny thoughts like this these days when the potion was made better than expected.

‘I’m a little embarrassed, but… .’

It was said that it is difficult for beginners to succeed in combat potions in one go.

Of course, this is not the first time he has made a combat potion.

However, I was proud of myself for successfully completing the highly difficult advanced battle potion in one go.

“This is how a genius alchemist is also a dutiful daughter.”

Once the clinical trial was over and he was confident that his potion was safe, he planned to give it to his mother to take it.

A treatment that completely removes side effects such as excessive hair growth, leaving only its original purpose.

I was excited to see how happy my mother would be when she received it.

“Hmm, the problem is that there is nothing more I want to do with alchemy.”

Although I had fun making combat potions, I felt somewhat disappointed when I finished making them.

Simply making a potion with all the recipes was not enough to have fun.

Maybe it’s your preference to use your brain a little more intensely and create a potion according to your thoughts?

In that respect, factory-type combat potions that analyzed everything could not increase my sense of accomplishment.

of course.

“If I use this ability, how much destructive power will it produce?”

Ability that you have recently discovered.

Abilities that could almost have been forgotten forever.

These days, I’m trying to figure out how to use it.

Making this battle potion will be one part of that.

“I think I can make something a little more destructive than this… .”

Since I am a natural alchemist, it seems that even if I move on to a new interest, I have no choice but to return to research in the end.

After much thought and consideration, I came to the conclusion that if I wanted to join the combat world, I would need a powerful combat potion.

‘This kind of research is something I’m good at… .’

As the sponsor said, going into a non-combat world would be detrimental to oneself.

‘You said all the research you did there would be taken away, right?’

I don’t want my research stolen.

It’s okay if you did it once, but it’s foolish to do the same thing twice.

“Combat world… .”

I could no longer ignore it as someone else’s problem.

Now that it had been assessed as having potential, it was time to make a decision.

“Because the sponsor is not the kind of person who would tell me something is wrong.”

First, I decided to make my own battle potion.

And if you find fun in the research process, you will be able to give a positive answer to your sponsor.

Erintina came to the general store after hearing that Damon had grown up.

He said he wanted to see for himself how much he had grown, but when he saw Damon, he was so amazed that he couldn’t come to his senses.

Even to me, it was amazing growth, but from Erintina’s point of view, who can’t come to her senses when it comes to spirits, how terrible would it be?

Her eyes are full of envy.

“This is closer to evolution. I didn’t know, but there’s something I learned thanks to Nanir. “That means that when spirits grow beyond a certain level, they evolve.”

“What changes when we evolve?”

“Now, like Damon, his appearance has changed and he can demonstrate much greater abilities than before. And the contracted spirit love creates a stronger bond.”

Bond?

Him and me?

The moment I heard Erintina’s words, Damon and I met our eyes, and we both yelped and retched at the same time.

I think I’ve gone too far to have such a tickling relationship with him.

Erintina burst out laughing when she saw the two of us doing this.

“Anyway, they’re both funny.”

“Has something similar happened to Nanir?”

It was beneficial to talk with Erintina about spirits.

There is no one I know who has as much knowledge as her.

“huh. In order to raise our Nanir well, we needed proper knowledge. As you know, I have only made contracts with grown spirits.”

“It’s not common to raise something from when it’s just a baby spirit.”

Nanir, who was born from the unique equipment I handed over and signed a contract with Erintina, is growing up with a lot of love because he is a real baby spirit, unlike Damon.

Originally, the trust and affection for Nanir would have been directed to Damon.

‘And this guy took that trust and affection and ruined Erintina.’

When I, the player, start a personal scenario with unique equipment, a scenario appears where I can meet Nanir and slowly recover my sanity.

Of course, it was a future that could not happen and had disappeared, so there was no need to talk about it in detail.

“I feel like I haven’t seen you in quite some time. How much have you grown?”

“You’ll be surprised when you see it, right? I won’t tell you the details for later. Nanir said he would brag about it when he meets you.”

Erintina’s words were a surprising story to me, who only remembered me as a toddler who couldn’t communicate.

“really? Nanir said that? “I think it’s surprising that you remember me.”

“Because it’s real. Very pretty. Maybe it’s because he’s a baby, but the things he does are so cute. “You want to bite me every time I see you?”

Erintina became very excited and began to express her cuteness towards Nanir.

In fact, contrary to Nanir’s wishes, I already knew what Nanir would look like when he grew up.

I’ve already been spoiled a lot while playing the game.

If Damon is emitting a black-purple aura from his feathers, Nanir will be shining with a bright golden light resembling the sun.

I know that Nanir was very pretty, just like her master, who was considered one of the most beautiful women.

“Look, you, as an expert, are better at raising your child than me.”

“No, you too were raised beautifully. Look at how hunky Damon is. “It’s so cool.”

Erintina stroked Damon with lots of affection.

Pyooo!

Damon, who had been rude to Yul, welcomed Erintina’s touch to see if it was okay.

I guess it feels different to be treated pretty by Erintina, a spirit person.

“I want to see Nanir, but you’re not here with me now, are you?”

“huh. I’m probably playing with the kids now. In fact, most of the childcare is done by spirits. “I’m so busy with work that I can’t play with him often.”

Erintina expressed regret, saying it had been a long time since she handed over childcare to her spirits.

“I should have stayed with you when you were a baby, but I’m sorry I couldn’t do that. Still, taking me around is something I can’t do to Nanir, who is curious about the world. So I just left it to the spirits. “They take Nanir around and show him around the world.”

“I’m at an age where I can wander around for a while and be curious.”

Spirits do not like to stay in one place.

Erintina knows that, so she doesn’t take Nanir with her to work.

And this was also something I was familiar with from watching Damon’s actions.

After Damon regained some of his strength, if he wasn’t eating or sleeping, he would diligently leave his seat to look outside.

Since it had been sealed for a long time, I thought it wanted to see the world change, so I didn’t do anything to stop it.
